Chapter 432 - Self-Righteousness

Upon hearing Tu Xiupei’s profession of sisterly devotion, Feng Tianlan glanced at her with raised eyebrows and giggled mockingly. Her act was perfect!

Watching her pretend to be in a difficult situation then suddenly displaying non-existent love for her sister made Luo Yunzhu felt like vomiting. “Tu Xiupei, don’t you dare make slanderous accusations against Tianlan. The one who did all those foul deeds was you, not her.”

“Yunzhu, ignore her. Let’s just watch this from the side.” Feng Tianlan lowered her head and glanced at her palm and shoulder that had been punctured in the fight.

Luo Yunzhu caught sight of Feng Tianlan’s injuries and forgot about the charade Tu Xiupei was performing. She said to her in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry, I have caused you trouble once more.”

If Feng Tianlan had not saved her from the headmaster, she would have remained uninjured. This was all her fault.

“Are you her younger sister?” The old man scrutinized Tu Xiupei, whom the headmaster had gestured forward. Advanced-stage Spiritual Master, Wind Element and Water Element. She also depended on pills to strengthen her spiritual force, what a useless person!

Was such trash actually his master’s sister? That would really decrease her magnificence.

“I am indeed Feng Tianlan’s younger sister. Although it is rude to air the dirty linen of one’s family in public, for the Flying Frost Pavilion, I am willing to put aside kinship and be punished for it afterward.”

The old man looked away from her and let out a faint ‘oh’. “Go on and speak, I am listening.” He turned his delighted eyes to Feng Tianlan. He was one step away from kneeling and calling her ‘Master’!

In just a few days, he felt that her spiritual force had become a lot stronger. It looked as though she would have a breakthrough and become an Advanced-stage Spiritual Grandmaster soon...

Wait...

The old man used his spiritual force to probe Feng Tianlan’s Cinnabar field. His eyes widened. She was already an Advanced-stage Spiritual Grandmaster, about to have a breakthrough and become a Spiritual King!

Wasn’t she just a First-stage Spiritual Grandmaster a few days ago?

Hang on, there had to be a mistake. It was impossible for her to advance at such a speed.

The old man touched his long, greyish white beard. He circled Feng Tianlan, his eyes analyzing her every detail, inspecting her as one would inspect a treasure. He ignored the sound of everything else around him completely.

Feng Tianlan let him inspect her. Hiding her strength was totally pointless in front of an Advanced-stage Spiritual Emperor. However, she still tried her best to do so. She wasn’t sure whether the old man would be on her side. Ultimately, the old man might listen to Tu Xiupei and decide to kill her.

After all, he was the grandmaster of the Flying Frost Pavilion and she was just an outsider. The things he said to her previously might have been just a loony joke.

The old man continued circling around and around Feng Tianlan. At last, he discovered the root of the problem and clapped in excitement. “Mas—”

“Grandmaster?” Tu Xiupei, who had been talking about Feng Tianlan’s misdeeds excitedly and furiously, had been frightened by the old man’s clap. She raised her head and looked at him.

The old man’s face darkened at her interruption. He gave Tu Xiupei an imposing glare. “Are you done?”

“Since she is my Eldest Sister, after all, this is all I will say.” Tu Xiupei was acting once more the role of a kind younger sister for her Eldest Sister. She had said enough. The incidents she had named would be enough for Grandmaster to condemn Feng Tianlan to death.

Tu Xiupei looked forward to watching the old man coldheartedly destroy Feng Tianlan!

But the old man simply let out an ‘oh’. Then he continued staring at Feng Tianlan while he addressed her, “I didn’t hear what you said just now, say it again.”

“Uh...”

“What’s wrong? Is it a problem if an old man like me has hearing difficulties? Is it a crime for me to get you to repeat what you have said?” The old man glared disapprovingly at Tu Xiupei and secretly released some spiritual force to pressure her.

What a crappy younger sister she was, bad-mouthing his master like that. She was more like an enemy. His master had a good temper too since she still wasn’t showing any signs of anger. If he was in her place, he would have beaten her up a long time ago!

But what exactly had this younger sister said about his master again?
