We Were Wrong from the Start

She naturally knew that Yang Ming would not surrender without a fight and had some skill, but so what? Before a true ninja, all of that was nothing more than child's play.

Just then, a faint voice suddenly rang out!

"What are you doing?"

Shui Daiyi approached with several people in tow, his face dark as he looked at Hirokawa Shin and Hino Raku!

"Lord Shui Daiyi!"

At once, everyone around them bowed in greeting.

As the Grass Shadow's foremost subordinate, Shui Daiyi held an exceptionally high reputation in the village.

"My lord, we..."

Seeing Shui Daiyi approach, Hirokawa Shin and Hino Raku hurriedly bowed. Hirokawa Shin respectfully began, pointing at Yang Ming!

But before he could say much, Shui Daiyi waved a hand and cut him off!

He spoke to him coolly!

"What are you trying to do? Lord Yuexia is an honored guest of Lord Grass Shadow. Lord Grass Shadow wishes to invite him over for a talk, yet I just heard you say that you wanted him to leave?"

Shui Daiyi spoke calmly, his authority bearing down heavily as he looked at Hirokawa Shin.

"No, no, Lord Shui Daiyi, I would never dare! I merely received a report from Teacher Hino Raku saying that someone had disrupted the order of the venue and asked me to escort him out. Lord Shui Daiyi, please see the truth clearly!"

Hirokawa Shin hurriedly dropped to his knees and repeatedly begged forgiveness!

"Is that so? You should explain this matter to Lord Grass Shadow in person. And Teacher Hino Raku, as a ninja academy teacher, you actually used threats against your own student. You can also wait to explain yourself to Lord Grass Shadow in person!"

Facing the two of them, Shui Daiyi sneered. Then he turned, cupped his hands toward Yang Ming, and spoke with utmost respect!

"Lord Yuexia, Lord Grass Shadow invites you."

"Oh."

Yang Ming replied indifferently. Without even looking at the two of them, he left with Shui Daiyi.

They were left standing there dumbfounded, along with the disordered crowd around them!

No matter what, they had never expected that the person they had regarded as trash was actually a dragon in disguise.

They had mistaken a dragon for trash, never realizing that in the dragon's eyes, they were not even worthy of being called trash!

At that thought, Hirokawa Shin shot Hino Raku a vicious glare. If not for Hino Raku, he would never have offended Lord Grass Shadow's honored guest. Though it was unbelievable, Lord Shui Daiyi had said it himself—how could it be false?

He immediately hurried after them, intending to beg for forgiveness!

Watching them leave, Hino Raku stood frozen in shock, her mouth hanging open. After a long while, endless regret flashed through her eyes!

Could it be that I was wrong from the very beginning?

At the same time, everyone around them witnessed the scene as well!

They were all shocked beyond belief!

"How is that possible? That person isn't trash at all—he's someone even Lord Shui Daiyi values?"

"We misjudged him. He's actually an unparalleled genius?"

At the same time, the expressions of Gang Qingtai and the other three changed!

They exchanged glances, staring at one another in disbelief!

"First Lord Grass Shadow, and now Lord Shui Daiyi has personally come to invite him. Could this Yuexia Ming have some background we don't know about?"

A chill rose in Gang Qingtai's heart. The scene before him had utterly overturned his worldview!

"If it had merely been a guess before, then now it is certain. This Yuexia Ming is no ordinary person. Setting everything else aside, he is definitely someone we cannot afford to provoke!"

Gui Wenda sighed, a trace of shock flashing through his gaze as he looked at Yang Ming!

"No matter what, I'm afraid we misjudged this man from the very beginning!"

Chang Jiaye sighed and exchanged a glance with Fujishima Jun. Both could see the shock in each other's eyes!
