Anna’s picture and her profile appears on the Holo-Brain.
Su Xue Er stared at them for a while, muttering: “She’s been a 4th stage Elementalist much longer than I. She have a Mystic-type God’s Chosen Skill, her status is higher than mine…”
“And she even saved my life”
Su Xue Er shook her head painfully, mumbling to herself: “I really can’t compare to her at all”
Tears started to drop down together with her every word.
“Not only is she stronger, she could directly go find Qing Shan ge if she wanted to…”
“Right now, I can’t even leave home”
“Ah, what a failure…”
At this time, a hurried female voice was heard calling her from afar.
“The entire young generation of the 9 Lords are waiting for you, yet you’re hiding here”
Madame Su was slightly lifting her skirt to run, carrying a worried expression on her face.
“Xue Er, you’re an adult now, don’t be so childish”
Su Xue Er wiped her tears and said: “I’m not being childish, mother”
Madame Su pursued: “Then tell me, why aren’t you willing to come out to meet everyone?”
Su Xue Er refused to listen to her, still staring at the screen, unconsciously brought her eyes back to the frozen news footage.
Her eyes were fixed on Anna and Gu Qing Shan, unmoving.
Her mother waited for a while, but got impatient from not receiving an answer from her daughter.
“Xue Er, if you won’t come out, I’ll cut your cards, that way you won’t be able to help those dirty poor people anymore”
Su Xue Er shut off her Holo-Brain and stared back at her mother.
“Mother, what are you thinking?” She asked.
“What am I thinking? That’s what I’m supposed to ask you!” Madame Su spoke with annoyance, “All the most influential talents of the 9 Lords are right here, lining up for you to pick, but you wouldn’t come out”
“They’re here for nothing but the Blazing Angel, the Blazing Angel is Qing Shan ge’s masterpiece, yet you’re still looking down on Qing Shan ge, why is that?” Su Xue Er asked in confusion.
“Hah… I’m not looking down on him, it’s just that you must marry into a mainline of the 9 Lords”
“Why?”
Madame Su was avoiding this topic instinctively: “The people that your father and I invited here are all people who support us, if we’re able to enter an in-law relationship with them, they’ll support your father to become the next head of the Su family”
“Mother, you’ll disappoint Grandfather if you do that”
“Don’t mention that old coot, how is he still alive right now, what a drag” Madame Su complained.
Su Xue Er stood up, walking step by step to face Madame Su and said: “Mother, I have a proposal”
“You have a proposal? Ha ha, please, I’ve learnt how to manipulate people since before you actually know what’s left and right”
“It’s precisely because of that that there’s something you’ve still don’t understand”
Madame Su evaluated her daughter, feeling that she’s a bit different from normal.
Su Xue Er continued: “You are looking for support from outsiders left and right, but you keep forgetting the most important thing”
“What’s that?” Madame Su’s face changed.
“If you yourselves are strong enough, you wouldn’t need to sell your daughter for the sake of power”
Madame Su spoke very seriously: “What are you saying! What do you mean selling our daughter! We only want to best for you”
“The best for me?”
“Of course” due to her hurriedness, Madame Su’s tone was quickening: “Your father will soon take control of the Su family, and you, as the most desired dame in Aristocrat, will get to marry any of the most influential members of the 9 Lord’s family, what’s not good about that?”
Su Xue Er fiercely argued back: “I can’t even pick what I want to do, what’s so good about that?”
Madame Su was a bit angry, loudly shouted back: “Think about it, how many dames in the history of the Aristocrat has the right to choose between any of the entire 9 Lords mainline members, what are you still unhappy about?”
“At that point, we Su family will become the most influential of all the 9 Lords!”
“No, mother, you’re possessed by power, all this ‘authority’ is nothing but an illusion, they mean nothing”
Su Xue Er shook her head and continued: “The two of you have no actual talent aside from knowing how to manipulate people, and your own cultivation is mediocre, that’s why Grandfather is still hesitating whether or not to let you inherit the title of family head”
Madame Su laughed pridefully at that: “Unfortunately, in our Su family mainline, the only one left is your father, his only son, even if the old man wants to search the entire family tree to find someone else, there’s no time for him to follow the entire process now”
Su Xue Er nodded, angrily snapped back: “Is that so! Fine, I’ll just go visit Grandfather!”
Su Xue Er ignored all of Madame Su’s shouting and directly left the training ground.
Walking past the courtyard, she passed by the banquet hall and the rowdy bunch of people, ignoring all the men walking up to speak to her on the way.
“Elder sister, where are you going?”
A man walked up and grabbed her wrist.
Su Xue Er looked back to see it was her father’s second wife’s son, her younger half-brother, Su Wen.
“I’m going to meet Grandfather, on the other hand, in a situation like this, isn’t your actions a bit crude?” Su Xue Er frowned at him.
Su Wen let go, smiling while apologizing: “It’s just that you wouldn’t show up no matter what, so my friends have been waiting for so long”
He pointed at the Aristocratic young masters behind him.
“Just come with me and meet the others, after all, they’re all here to see you”
“No, I have something else to do”
Su Xue Er turned to leave.
“Don’t ask for a punishment when you’ve gotten an invitation, elder sister” Su Wen put his hands in his pocket and casually said: “If you won’t come, all the girls that you’ve saved, I’ll just go throw them randomly somewhere”
Su Xue Er stopped.
She slowly turned around to look at her younger half-brother.
Su Wen turned and smiled at the people behind him, gesturing that it’s been taken care of.
“Elder sister, come with me”
Su Wen took two steps backward.
Su Xue Er stayed silent and didn’t move.
Su Wen was a bit impatient, came back and said: “Right now it’s just a few conversations and a few dances with them, just what are you hesitating about?”
Su Xue Er still didn’t move.
Suddenly, she reached her hand up and touched her head.
As if she was reminding herself of another moment, when someone was softly touching her head like that.
“How strange, mother is like this, and you’re also like this”
Su Xue Er suddenly said.
She was shaking her head, as if to refuse to accept something.
“Just because I save the poor, you think you can use that to control me? Aren’t we family?”
Su Wen laughed, then gestured behind himself.
A servant came up.
“Young master”
“Hm, you’re the one that discovered this, so you get to do this. Lead a few people, go and escort those girls to that nice place”
Su Wen turned to look at Su Xue Er: “Do it until our Lady here agrees to come meet with my friends”
Su Xue Er spoke blankly: “Brother, why do you have to force me?”
“You’re the one that forced me”
Su Wen felt triumphant, laughing pridefully and ordered: “Go, do it immediately”
The servant was about to leave.
Bam!
A loud cracking sound, as blood spilled all over the pure white ground, shocking everyone.
The pristine Su family’s main hall that hasn’t even had a speck of dirt for generations was soaked in blood at this very moment.
The servant had a large hole opened in his chest, fell down backwards and died.
The ball burst into an uproar.
Su Xue Er pulled back her hand as tears silently dripped down.
“Why did you all have to force me?” She once again muttered.
Su Wen was stunned.
He has never seen his sister fight before, and he knows for a fact that she hasn’t killed anything or anyone before.
And yet, she killed a person right in front of everyone just like that.
Su Xue Er covered her face with her hand, silently cried to herself for a short moment.
Once she managed to stop sniffling and revealed her brilliant facial features again, she no longer carried any hint of sorrow.
