Ehe! I Dodge

Ning Weiyang's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You threw your own food tray away, and you're blaming me for knocking it over?"

"What do you mean I threw it away myself? If you hadn't suddenly rushed over, would I have dropped it?"

The one arguing with Ning Weiyang was an older student, around twelve years old. He was skinny and ordinary-looking, but his clothes were rather eye-catching, embroidered with gleaming golden threads.

Clearly, he was a spoiled rich kid—or the child of some high-ranking official.

The first thing out of his mouth was that it was someone else's fault.

Ning Weiyang was a little speechless. "Big brother, I didn't even touch you, okay? You threw your own food tray and blamed it on me. Isn't that a bit ridiculous?"

The boy retorted, "Ridiculous? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're young. At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, there aren't many people who dare speak to me like that!"

The boy pressed aggressively, convinced it was all Ning Weiyang's fault.

Ning Weiyang's eyes widened.

Forget it, she couldn't beat him.

What should she do if she couldn't beat him?

Play dead!

Ning Weiyang pretended she couldn't catch her breath and immediately collapsed!

Goreya: "???"

The other students eating: "???"

The students beside Ning Weiyang immediately moved away, afraid of getting dragged into it.

"Why did he start hitting her?"

"Who knows? This little girl looks so young. She must be a new junior."

"Why is he bullying a junior?"

"Sigh, he's the Marshal's grandson. Even if he causes trouble, his Marshal grandfather will cover for him. Let's not get involved."

"True. Come on, let's go."

"..."

Seeing Ning Weiyang collapse onto the ground, the other students began discussing it among themselves.

The boy was named Goreya, the grandson of Marshal Golong of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Hearing the students' murmurs, Goreya's face turned livid. He hurriedly went to check on Ning Weiyang.

"Get up! Stop playing dead! I didn't do anything to you!"

"No, don't frame me! Isn't it enough that I'm not making you pay for it?"

But no matter what Goreya said, whether kindly or harshly, Ning Weiyang refused to get up.

She was determined to play dead!

Unable to do anything about Ning Weiyang, Goreya began to panic a little.

Didn't they just exchange a few words?

Why had she fainted?

He should find a teacher.

Goreya frowned and stood up.

"Weiyang!"

At that moment, Ye Lingling returned after getting food.

When she saw Ning Weiyang lying on the ground, she immediately set down the food and rushed over to check on her.

"Ye Lingling?"

When Goreya saw Ye Lingling, it was like seeing a savior.

After all, Ye Lingling's martial soul was the Nine Heart Begonia. As long as someone was not dead, she could save them.

"Weiyang!"

Ye Lingling lifted Ning Weiyang from the ground and held her in her arms.

She checked Ning Weiyang's neck and found that her pulse was still beating.

Ye Lingling sighed in relief and immediately summoned her martial soul.

The Nine Heart Begonia appeared before Ye Lingling. She plucked off a petal and let it fall onto Ning Weiyang.

Very soon, Ning Weiyang felt her body become incredibly light, as though even her exhaustion had been swept away.

"Uh..."

Ning Weiyang suddenly opened her eyes, drew in a deep breath, then let it out.

Only then did Ye Lingling finally relax.

"Weiyang, how do you feel? Are you all right?"

She asked anxiously.

Ning Weiyang turned to look at Ye Lingling and shook her head. "Sister Lingling, I'm fine..."

Her voice was incomparably weak, making her truly seem as though she had suffered grave injuries.

Looking at this poor little kitten, Ye Lingling's heart ached. Then she raised her head and frowned at Goreya. "What did you do?"
