The Child of Fortune Fainted from Rage. Why Did People Have to Grow Up?

If Shangguan Qing'er had really done so many things, there was no way she wouldn't have known.

Either Shangguan Qing'er had been secretive enough, or she had some other purpose.

Whatever the case, she had to win this battle.

Otherwise, the insult her lineage had suffered could not be undone.

"Are you still going to stand in my way?"

Shangguan Qing'er asked, looking at Shangguan Wan'er.

"Wan'er, step aside for now. Don't worry, I won't hurt her."

Xiao Yu spoke.

At those words, a strange look appeared in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes as she looked at Xiao Yu.

Then she saw the determination in his eyes.

She sighed.

For some reason, Shangguan Wan'er felt a little lost.

After watching Shangguan Wan'er leave, Xiao Yu

looked at Shangguan Qing'er.

He took a deep breath.

This time, his momentum rose once more.

"Fire God Palm."

This time, Xiao Yu opened with his ultimate move.

A sea of fire appeared, filling the sky.

It surrounded Xiao Yu.

And Xiao Yu's eyes changed.

Though he was clearly young, his eyes now had a world-weary look.

Di Juetian glanced over casually.

Then, oh-ho, so it was a soul.

"How interesting."

At that thought, a faint golden light appeared in Di Juetian's eyes.

Shangguan Qing'er's body trembled involuntarily.

By now, Xiao Yu's Fire God Palm was fully prepared.

A fiery figure dozens of zhang tall appeared in the sky.

It stretched out its enormous palm

and slapped it toward Shangguan Qing'er.

There was no change in Shangguan Qing'er's eyes.

"Slash."

A powerful sword intent appeared.

It cut the fiery figure down in an instant.

At the same time, Sword Qi surged in every direction.

The sea of fire dispersed.

Quite a few people's pupils contracted.

Xiao Yu was now kneeling on one knee, his hair hanging loose over his shoulders.

His eyes were full of astonishment.

Di Juetian watched the scene with a sneer.

So this was a Child of Fortune.

How ridiculous.

"You won."

Just then, Shangguan Qing'er withdrew her sword.

She looked at Xiao Yu.

Taking Xiao Yu's weapon, she stabbed herself with it.

She spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her face turned pale.

Her body swayed, on the verge of collapse.

She turned and left.

Xiao Yu's expression changed, and at the same time, a sigh rang out.

Xiao Yu was dumbfounded.

You defeated me, even with my master possessing me.

I suspect that old man didn't use his strength, but I have no proof. My meridians are all aching faintly.

Watching Shangguan Qing'er leave, Xiao Yu felt humiliated.

You beat me, then took my weapon, stabbed yourself, and said you'd lost.

I'm so angry!

Seeing Xiao Yu lying on the arena platform, having fainted from rage,

quite a few people gloated over his misfortune.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were full of complicated emotions.

Seeing Shangguan Qing'er, she reached out to support her.

"Don't touch me. Don't dirty your hands."

"I'm not worthy."

Enduring the pain, Shangguan Qing'er left.

Shangguan Zhen looked at Shangguan Wan'er.

"I somewhat regret letting you come to the Upper Realm."

After saying that, Shangguan Zhen left, hurrying after Shangguan Qing'er.

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned pale.

Was I really wrong?

Shangguan Wan'er wanted someone to affirm her.

But the people on the raised platform looked at her with both wariness and disdain.

Then she looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu had spat blood and fallen unconscious.

She turned to look at Di Juetian.

She couldn't make out his face.

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned pale.

She actually felt a little aggrieved.

Di Juetian didn't care.

[Ding! The Child of Fortune's Dao heart has been humiliated. Heavenly Mandate Value decreased by 200. Master has received 200 Villain Value.]

[Ding! The Child of Fortune has suffered a setback and fallen unconscious from his injuries. Heavenly Mandate Value decreased by 300. Master has received 300 Villain Value.]

Di Juetian hadn't expected to fleece only 500.

But there was no rush.

He saw the confusion on Shangguan Wan'er's face.

Di Juetian remained unmoved.

A Seven-Orifices Exquisite Heart had been sullied.

It looked like it was time to give it a different owner.

But there was one other matter: the Child of Fortune.

Seeing that the Child of Fortune was still unconscious on the arena platform,

Di Juetian gave an order.

Seeing Xiao Yu suddenly disappear, the others didn't dare say much.

The person who had appeared carried Xiao Yu away; it was obvious that Di Juetian had given the order.

"Young master, you..."

"Don't worry, he won't die."

Hearing that, Shangguan Wan'er nodded. Di Juetian probably wouldn't lie to her.

But when she thought of her younger sister, she sighed.

Thinking again of Shangguan Zhen's words, she felt even more heartbroken.

It seemed she would have to investigate whether this matter was true.

After thinking of this, Shangguan Qing'er suddenly found herself in a difficult position.

After all, the people of the lineage looked at her with disdain too.

They were even a little distant.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help feeling heartbroken once more.

"I can only investigate it myself."

After watching the battle end, Di Juetian

vanished.

The other visitors didn't bring up what had happened that day either.

They began eating and drinking heartily at the Shangguan Lineage.

Some even took what they couldn't finish with them.

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were starving ghosts reincarnated.

Still, there was a reason for it.

Because of Di Juetian,

many spirit ingredients had been brought out to prepare the feast.

People from some of the smaller lineages didn't think it was shameful either.

After all, it was to increase their strength, wasn't it?

Some, however, ate even faster.

A few even vomited and kept eating.

Before long, the Shangguan Lineage was in a complete mess.

Seeing that Shangguan Zhen didn't come out, these people left satisfied.

Feasting was such a delightful thing.

When Shangguan Qing'er returned to her residence, she couldn't help showing a smile.

Her plan had succeeded.

My dear sister, making the people of the lineage disdain you was only the first step.

When she saw Shangguan Zhen appear at the door,

Shangguan Qing'er's expression had already changed.

She looked as if she had entered a meditative trance.

Cold sweat then appeared on her forehead.

Blood dripped from her body from time to time.

"Pfft."

She spat out a mouthful of hot blood.

Her face went pale, and her body swayed.

Her eyes closed, and she fell unconscious.

"Qing'er!"

Shangguan Zhen's expression changed.

After sensing Shangguan Qing'er's feeble presence, his expression changed drastically.

He then began using his own spiritual power to heal Shangguan Qing'er.

Before long, he sensed that Shangguan Qing'er's condition had stabilized.

Shangguan Zhen let out a sigh of relief.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Shangguan Qing'er slowly woke up.

Upon seeing her father,

she smiled.

Seeing that smile and her pale face,

Shangguan Zhen felt only heartache.

"Qing'er, if you're still feeling unwell anywhere, you must tell Father."

"Father, I've disappointed you. I didn't want to..."

"Silly child, Father has wronged you and made you suffer. I never imagined you would have to go through this for the lineage."

"Father was wrong. Father apologizes to you."

"Father, as long as you don't blame Qing'er."

"Qing'er had a dream just now."

"Qing'er, you had a dream?"

"Yes, I did. I dreamed of when I was little. Back then, Mother held me in her arms while Father made faces to amuse me."

"Father, why do people have to grow up?"
