Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Bully Their Master, Part 44

Artificial rocks, green trees, and springs trickling down the stone walls refreshed the spirit.

After walking for a while and nearing the Fighting Skill Hall, she heard a burst of girls' laughter beside her.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Yue followed the laughter and quietly looked over, wanting to see who was there and what they were talking about.

She recognized quite a few of them!

Among that group, Xiao Yue knew several people, but unfortunately, she had no interest in them!

She was just about to turn around and leave.

"Oh, isn't this Little Sister Yue'er?

Are you going to the Fighting Skill Hall too, Little Sister Yue'er?"

Just as Xiao Yue turned her head, a girl's coquettish laughter reached her ears.

She had not wanted to respond, but since they had already called out to stop her, it would have been awkward to leave.

I'll just chat for a bit, then leave!

Behind her, several petite and pretty girls looked toward Xiao Yue. The most eye-catching among them was the girl standing in the center of the group.

She was somewhat alluring and was currently smiling with pursed lips. She was also the one who had spoken and stopped Xiao Yue just now.

"May I ask why Sister Mei'er called me over?"

The girl was named Xiao Mei. She had once made quite a name for herself at Testing Square. Not only was she charming and beautiful, but her talent and strength were also quite decent.

Even though she was impressive in every regard, Xiao Yue did not like her.

She was simply too practical. The difference between how she treated Xiao Yue's brother when he had talent and after he lost it was far too great.

Xiao Yue hated people who were overly practical!

Out of courtesy, since the other party had called her over, she stopped.

She did not know why Xiao Mei had called her over.

Couldn't Xiao Mei tell that she didn't want to chat with them?

"After just a few days, Little Sister Yue'er has become even prettier!"

Looking at Xiao Yue before her, Xiao Mei was filled with jealousy and envy.

Not long ago, she had heard others say that Xiao Yue had recently become prettier and had far surpassed her.

She had not believed it before!

Xiao Yue had never been unattractive. She was lively and cheerful, and many people liked her. But Xiao Mei herself was no worse—charming and captivating, with just as many admirers.

Yet when she truly saw the changes in Xiao Yue, she had no choice but to believe it!

But what had happened recently?

How had Xiao Yue suddenly begun glowing with radiance and surpassed her in one stroke?

Previously, only Xiao Xun'er had been slightly better than her. Since Xiao Xun'er's background was mysterious, Xiao Mei did not dare ask too much.

Why had Xiao Yue changed so drastically as well, even surpassing her outright?

What was going on?

"Little Sister Yue'er, could you tell me why your skin is so good now? How did you become so beautiful?"

What girl did not wish to become prettier?

Xiao Mei was no exception!

Now that a living example stood before her, she had to figure out exactly how Xiao Yue had done it!

Xiao Yue had a headache.

Were they all really this idle? Why was everyone so concerned with her appearance?

Was this the trouble of being beautiful?

But the problem was, how was she supposed to explain it?

Telling the truth was impossible!

"Little Sister Yue'er, could it be that there is something shameful about it?

Or is it that you are unwilling to share even such a small matter with us?

If it really cannot be done, then I will not force you!"

As Xiao Mei spoke, she even sighed, her expression looking especially despondent.

"It's only becoming prettier. What's so secret about that?"

"We're all family. Can't we even share something like this?"

"Sister Mei'er, don't be sad. If she doesn't want to share and only wants to be beautiful by herself, there's nothing we can do!!!"

"We're simply not worthy. We're ugly, so what can we do?"

As soon as Xiao Mei finished speaking, the few girls around her began chattering away.

Some were offering comfort, but others were secretly mocking Xiao Yue.

They mocked her for being selfish and unwilling to share even something so small!

Beyond that, they seemed to want to isolate Xiao Yue too, leaving her to be beautiful all by herself!

With everyone's persuasion, Xiao Mei quickly felt better. Then she stared fixedly at Xiao Yue without saying a word.

Looking at the people before her, Xiao Yue was especially angry.

Every last one of them wanted to morally blackmail her?

Xiao Yue glanced at them and gently shook her head, a trace of mockery flashing through her eyes.

Did she deserve it?

Even if she knew, so what?

Her fortunate encounter could not be replicated!

"I was born beautiful. I was already pretty to begin with.

But who knew that after I went to the Market last time and came back to sleep, I would become even prettier?

My strength even improved!

Isn't that strange?"

Xiao Yue herself felt quite helpless about becoming prettier.

If she had known that becoming prettier would bring so much trouble, she definitely would have agonized over whether it was worth it.

"Yue'er, if you don't want to say it, then just don't. Why do you have to lie to us?"

Xiao Mei rolled her eyes.

Becoming prettier just by sleeping? Who was she trying to fool?

How could anyone possibly believe such nonsense?

If she did not want to say it, then she did not have to. Was there any need to make up lies?

She was truly selfish!

Xiao Mei wore an expression of complete disbelief, and the people around her shared her outrage. None of them believed Xiao Yue's words.

"Believe it or not, I've said everything I needed to say. Whether you believe it is your business!"

She could not even be bothered to deal with the people behind her!

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yue turned and left.

She had come to the Fighting Skill Hall today to choose a fighting skill, not to chat with others!

Besides, she had been telling the truth from the start.

She really had gone to the Market, then come back and slept, only to become prettier afterward.

At most, she had skipped over a few steps in between.

But how could she possibly tell anyone other than those closest to her about receiving a fortunate encounter?

In fact, she had not even told some people who were very close to her.

If she truly told that group of petty people behind her, who knew what would happen next?

In any case, it would not be anything good!

She did not trust those people behind her!

Xiao Yue was not wrong about some things.

After Xiao Yue turned and left, the group behind her began cursing and complaining.

Becoming prettier and stronger was a good thing that could benefit others, so why could she not share it?

It would not cost her anything or make her suffer any loss, so why could she not just say it?

Were they not family after all?

Simp

"Girl, you spoke so bluntly just now. Aren't you afraid of angering those people? Wouldn't that be bad?"

Watching beautiful girls bicker was rather entertaining. At least, Su Mu had enjoyed watching from the side.

But would it affect his disciple?

"Uncle, are you really that free now? You even have time to listen to me chatting with other people?"

Faced with the Uncle who had suddenly appeared, Xiao Yue could only feel deep helplessness.

Was he really that idle all day long?

He could actually watch her chatting with others with such relish?
