(26) Love Letter
1062 Words
Zi Yingjun's eyelashes fluttered as he opened his eyes. His purple irises flickered because of the qi he applied. He unhappily stood up and frowned. It's Summer already yet the caravan is still not here. His consumption of spirit crystals were getting higher and higher that he can't make a breakthrough. Zi Yingjun went out of his room to enter his class. He kept thinking on the way that he didn't notice a young girl following him sneakily. Her peach blossom eyes were mischievous as it stared on his back. However, her steps stopped when she saw someone familiar heading towards Zi Yingjun.
"Yingjun!" Zi Yan Yue waved her hand happily. Though he had been acting indifferent lately, she didn't give up to befriend him again.
He only gave her a glance and continued his way. Zi Yan Yue helplessly followed him until their classroom. She was thinking deeply that she didn't notice someone reaching out for her.
"Kyaah!" Zi Yan Yue was stunned when a hand grabbed her elbow and dragged her outside. She hit the wall from the impact. It was too strong that the wooden wall broke. Her eyes widened in fear that she would fall. Although she is a Qi Refinement cultivator in the fifth rank, it's not enough to protect her from having injuries. Specially since they are in the third floor.
Just as everyone gasped, Zi Yingjun turned his back and held her wrist on time. He easily brought the shocked Zi Yan Yue off the drop. His gaze went icy cold towards the young girl in front.
"Jiang Mei Hua, murdering someone in broad daylight, hm?" he had no idea of helping Zi Yan Yue at all but strangely, his body moved on its own. Zi Yingjun won't care if she fell off. She won't die that easily anyway. However, why did he help her without even wanting to? Just then, he saw a yellow flash from his dantian. Zi Yingjun's face darkened. Where did that came from?
"Why? You've been hiding from me! Then I heard you were being close to your cousin? How is that even fair?" Jiang Mei Hua complained, her peach blossom eyes went watery.
"The hell..." Zi Yingjun cursed in his mind. He never had any experience in easing a cat fight. Though he have many women in his past life, they only fight behind his back. But these two, they are immature and showing it in public. This is why he hated Jiang Mei Hua. She's too controlling and dubious of him. "Go back to Jiang Territory. I don't have enough time to entertain you."
"Zi Yingjun!" she stomped her foot in anger when Zi Yingjun left. Her eyes glared at Zi Yan Yue before following Zi Yingjun in the classroom. "Zi Yingjun, you can't ignore me! Im your fiance!"
Zi Yingjun could care less and sat down. He placed his feet on his table with the thought of having a proper rest. Jiang Mei Hua cant tell what to do. She thought this Zi Yingjun is like what the Zi Clan described as an epitome of a deity. Gentle, quiet and knowledgeable but lately, he's been a devil.
"Miss Jiang, please leave. You're already causing too much trouble." Zi Yan Yue voiced out and went to her table just next to Zi Yingjun's. She didn't back out in provoking the other girl.
"No! You can't force me out of here. I'll go out if this insensitive man speaks with me!" Jiang Mei Hua pointed to Zi Yingjun. She finds his attitude rude. He wont even fear her status? She's Jiang Clan's most treasured young miss!
"Geez. Since when did that demon's spawn got popular?"
"Why are they fighting over him?"
"Zi Yingjun seems happy about it."
"Yeah. He wont even stop them."
Zi Yingjun's patience ran out. He had enough of these kids. Picking up his brush, he made a new rune formation on air and everyone quickly covered their ears. This time, he made a pattern of eccentric words which formed a black, purplish lotus. When it spreads, his voice resounded within the classroom even if he wasn't opening his mouth to speak.
"If none of you in this class shuts up, I'll make sure to beat you all by Friday, including women." his voice from the lotus was threatening and deep, like a demon haughtily looking down on them.
The whole class went silent. However, Jiang Mei Hua opened her mouth to speak but Zi Yan Yue acted quickly and covered her lips.
"Miss Jiang, don't get us in trouble." she pleaded in whispers. Zi Yan Yue caught Zi Yingjun's annoyed look and this made her feel downcast.
"Hmph." Zi Yingjun snorted. He leaned on the open window to rest once more. Jiang Mei Hua clenched her fists and went out without a choice.
While Zi Yingjun thought this place is a hindrance, he had the urge to quickly rise in ranks. Unfortunately, he can't leave without having enough weapon and resources. Zi Yingjun got bored instantly and fiddled with the brush. He decided to sleep once more after placing it inside a compartment of his desk. His movements stopped upon seeing a pink folded paper there.
"Was I in the wrong seat?" he thought. Zi Yingjun opened the paper but seeing the content, his face darkened. Who knew it was a love letter? The familiar handwriting made him guess it was Zi Yan Yue. And as a demonic cultivator, does he even care about feelings? Zi Yingjun crumpled it and threw the paper outside the window. Unknown to him, a fair hand caught the crumpled pink letter. Jin Xuan Meng raised a brow to know that Zi Yingjun casually threw a love letter.
That night, Zi Yingjun was cultivating peacefully in his room. His qi rose quickly like a sea with raging storm. He opened his eyes and stopped. Zi Yingjun sighed to himself. His talent is bothering him. Its not bad being a second-rate talent but the resources for his cultivation is double the resources a first-rate talent consumes. The mortal realm is truly his biggest obstacle as of now. If the caravan comes early this summer, he can easily make a breakthrough to the sixth rank. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a shadow underneath his door. It turned him alert.
