Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 408: Trouble Caused by Perspective (2)_1

If Zhuge Yue and the others knew the scheme she was hatching, they would definitely be furious enough to spit blood. Their original plan was to see her make a fool of herself and then legitimately throw her out. However, it had backfired spectacularly, and they ended up losing far more than they bargained for.Piercing through the layers of rock, Shangguan You could clearly see that there was nothing inside besides stones. Her gaze involuntarily shifted back to the ground. If there’s nothing within the rockery, then the Spirit Gathering Stone must be in the earth below, she reasoned. Otherwise, the Spiritual Energy here wouldn’t be so abundant.

"Well? What’s in there?" Zhuge Yue asked disdainfully. "Many people couldn’t see anything special, so what could this inexperienced girl possibly discern? She’s simply overestimating herself."

Shangguan You withdrew her gaze, no longer staring intently at the rockery. Seeing the sarcastic looks from Zhuge Yue and Li Zhaohong, a cold light flickered in her deep eyes but quickly vanished.

"I only see layers of rock and nothing within them," Shangguan You said, her head bowing even lower, sounding somewhat disappointed.

"HAHAHA! I told you this inexperienced kid couldn’t possibly have any skills."

"You’re right! I bet she’s a fraudster, just here for free food and drink. People like her cannot stay in Hidden World Village, and especially cannot be allowed to remain here!"

"Exactly! In that case, get out of Hidden World Village immediately!"

"Right, get out!"

"We only welcome Superpower Users here, not useless trash like you!"

As the two spoke, the crowd erupted into laughter, with Zhuge Yue and Li Zhaohong shouting the loudest. Murder flashed in Ye Ershao’s eyes. Shangguan You kept her head down, her shoulders trembling. Inwardly, she had already marked Zhuge Yue and Li Zhaohong for death.

Damn it, she thought, if there weren’t so many people here, and if they didn’t all possess unknown, peculiar abilities, I would have scattered a handful of poison powder at them by now!

"Alright, it’s not a big deal if this girl can’t see through this rockery. Let’s not dwell on her. Even the top Superpower Masters here can’t discern anything, so why make it difficult for a child? Moreover, she came in safely through the passage, so what more can you say? She came with me," Bai Muxue spoke up with a warm voice, looking at Shangguan You and Ye Ershao with a somewhat puzzled gaze as he helped her out of the predicament.

"Young Master Bai is right. Someone who entered openly with him must have some ability," Fang Jianfei quickly interjected, smoothing things over.

Upon hearing Fang Jianfei and Bai Muxue speak up for Shangguan You, the expressions on Zhuge Yue and Li Zhaohong’s faces became even uglier. This ugly girl has actually caught the attention of both Young Master Bai and Young Master Fang! Simply intolerable!

"Such a lively scene! Did I miss some good drama?" a seductive voice rang out, followed by a fragrant breeze. A fiery red figure flew towards them, landing beside Bai Muxue.

Naluo’s body leaned towards Bai Muxue.

"Mudan, are you throwing yourself into his arms?" Zhuge Yue hissed through clenched teeth. Mudan was still dressed so provocatively, daring to wear the most revealing Tang-style dress.

"Bai Gongzi, this is the second time today I’ve had the pleasure of seeing you. Do we perhaps share a special fate?" Bai Muxue took a few steps back, allowing Mudan’s leaning form to pass. Mudan gracefully spun around, then stood firmly, facing Bai Muxue and speaking with tender emotion.

"Indeed, we seem to share a special fate, Miss Mudan," Bai Muxue nodded, his lips curling slightly.

"Who shares a fate with you, vixen?" Zhuge Yue roared. If it weren’t for the presence of the Elders, she would have already rushed up and slapped Mudan hard for daring to flirt with Bai Muxue right in front of her.

"HMPH. Fang Gongzi, Mudan offers her respects," Mudan huffed, shifting her amorous gaze back to Fang Jianfei.

"Greetings, Miss Mudan," responded Fang Jianfei, his tone rather cold.

"Young lady, we meet again. Are you settling in alright?" Mudan swayed her slender waist, her gaze sweeping coldly over the mesmerized men around her before she sauntered gracefully towards Shangguan You, stopping directly in front of her and Ye Ershao.

Shangguan You’s mind raced with a thousand thoughts. She truly didn’t understand. She had only just arrived and had done nothing, so how could she have attracted so much attention?

Shangguan You raised her head, looking at Mudan with an expression of feigned grievance. If someone is willing to stand up for me, why not take advantage of it?

"My, my, little sister, you look quite delicate! What’s wrong? Tell Sister Mudan. Whoever dares to bully you, I’ll deal with them!" the beauty cooed, her voice making the bystanders’ hearts flutter. Even Zhuge Peng stared, captivated by the bewitchingly charming Mudan.

It truly lived up to the saying: "To die for a beauty like a peony makes even a ghost’s existence glamorous."

That remark about being "quite delicate" provoked snickers from the crowd. Next to Mudan, who was as beautiful as a peony, Shangguan You seemed as plain as a weed.

Shangguan You recounted what had happened, her tone aggrieved.

Mudan then said, "There, there, little sister. Sister Mudan, along with Bai Gongzi and Fang Gongzi, will stand up for you. Whoever dares to kick you out is making an enemy of us! Fang Gongzi, Bai Gongzi, am I not right?" She then cast a coquettish glance at Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei, questioning them.

"Of course. This young lady accompanied me here, and I’ve already promised them lodging at my villa," Bai Muxue nodded. One naturally obliges a beauty. While I might not be fortunate enough to enjoy her favors, Mudan’s demeanor suggests she has some connection with Shangguan You. Why not do her this small favor?

"Hn," Fang Jianfei assented briefly. He wasn’t actually familiar with Shangguan You. He had only spoken up because he couldn’t stand Zhuge Yue’s actions.

Hearing their affirmations, Shangguan You’s previously dim eyes lit up. A brilliant glow flashed within them as she looked at Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei with open admiration.

Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei were somewhat taken aback by Shangguan You, who suddenly seemed to radiate brilliance. Her eyes, in particular, illuminated her entire being. What a pity, they both thought simultaneously, that such captivating eyes should grace such an ordinary face.
