Chapter 29: Crazy Genius! I’ll Kick You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just a moment ago, Feng Lihuan was still wondering who this retard who spoke was. Yet, in the next moment, he was acknowledged as the master of an outstanding student. Immediately, he became so happy that he laughed heartily. “Hahaha… Good, good! Quickly stand up.”

“Congratulations, Mr Feng,” Rong Feng also congratulated him happily. After all, Ye Qianli was a member of their Vermilion Bird Dynasty, and she was personally recruited by the Gifted Academy at the dynasty’s Prodigy Convention. How reputable and how honorable this was!

“Congratulations to Mr. Feng for gaining a good disciple.” The officials and nobility of the dynasty all congratulated him. It was only at this moment that they also found out that this mysterious figure was actually the head teacher of the Gifted Academy.

“I still have to congratulate Nephew Ye. Congratulations to the Ye Residence.” Amidst the congratulations, the Eastern Sea King’s timely congratulations—full of vigor—made Ye Fengtian’s already pale face turn even paler.

When the other officials and nobles heard this, they all looked at Ye Fengtian with strange expressions. They all wanted to know what this Prince Ye was thinking.

After all, they were just spectators who didn’t know the truth. However, as Ye Qianli’s father and the commander of a million-strong army, how could he be so muddle-headed that he couldn’t differentiate the pearl from fish eyes and even forced such a wonderful daughter to leave? Instead, he kept grooming and taking care of an outsider. It was really unbelievable.

“Congratu—” At this time, Su Qin—who had just been yelled at to stop with Ye Fengtian’s inner voice transmission—was clearly about to open her mouth again! However, Ye Fengtian did not let her grab the thread of conversation this time round.

“Thank you, Eastern Sea King. This is indeed a joyous occasion for our Ye Residence. Qianli is the pride of our Ye Residence. The ancestors of our Ye Residence will be proud of her,” Ye Fengtian said from the bottom of his heart.

However, when he said those words, he did not dare to look at his daughter. He was too ashamed to look…

“It’s good that Prince Ye understands. Qianli is a good child. It’s normal for her to throw a slight tantrum after being wronged. You have to teach her well and be more patient.” Rong Feng nodded slightly when he heard this. He was obviously a little satisfied that Ye Fengtian wasn’t muddle-headed to the end, but he still gave him a warning.

“His Majesty is right. It’s this subject who lacks the skills to teach my daughter and is not worthy of being a father.” Ye Fengtian was extremely ashamed.

“The Ye Clan’s heir speaks too seriously. Beloved Official Luo, please continue.” Up to this point, Rong Feng didn’t interfere with the Ye Clan’s household affairs. He changed the topic back to the Prodigy Convention.

As for the moronic words that Su Qin had voiced earlier, the people in the spectator seats tactfully did not mention it. After all, everyone was smart. However, the people outside the spectator seats were not that smart.

“Who is that woman? She has such a big face. How dare she negotiate with a teacher from the Gifted Academy? Furthermore, she even dares to make decisions for Ye Qianli?”

“That’s Su Lianhua’s mother, right? Didn’t you see the two of them holding hands, looking like they had such an emotional mother-daughter relationship? She’s also Ye Qianli’s maternal aunt, right? It’s also the first time I’ve seen such a weird maternal aunt.”

“Don’t even mention it. It seemed that Ye Qianli previously said that Su Lianhua ate the Ye family’s Innate Talent Pill. Wow! Why do I feel that there’s a conspiracy…”

Gossiping furiously, everyone in the broad masses kept saying that Su Qin, who had spoken, was Su Lianhua’s mother. They firmly believed it unanimously. They even came up with a major drama about a struggle among cousins in the residence, and they were all talking excitedly.

However, Luo Xingping raised his voice and said, “Next, I invite Miss Su onto the stage.”

“…”

The sounds of discussion suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at Su Lianhua in unison. At this moment, Su Lianhua’s face was as white as paper, and one of her hands was tightly held by Su Qin.

“Hua’er, don’t worry, she won’t dare hurt you. At worst, you just don’t have to accept the challenge. It’s just the title of Arena Lord so it’s fine if you don’t want it. In any case, you’ve already displayed your talent,” Su Qin consoled repeatedly.

Su Lianhua’s expression turned even uglier when she heard that. Inwardly, she hated it so much! Even her aunt was certain that she would lose to Ye Qianli before she even went on stage! Su Qin wanted her to retreat without a fight.

But…

Unfortunately, no matter how much she hated Ye Qianli, Su Lianhua had to admit that she truly was not as good as Ye Qianli. However, she still went on stage. After she went on stage, her tears fell on the spot.

“Do you hate me that much? Do you hate me so much that, when I awakened my innate talent, you had to use the fire of your innate talent to burn me, causing my elixir field to be damaged and making it impossible for me to awaken my second innate talent in the future?! Are you satisfied now?” Su Lianhua questioned her heartbrokenly while crying.

This time, she did not dare to call Ye Qianli ‘elder sister’ anymore. However, she still stood on the moral high ground and accused Ye Qianli of being malicious and making herself look like a weakling.

“Ask yourself honestly… Have I ever let you down? Because you’re the only daughter, Aunt was afraid that you would be lonely so she brought me, who was only five years old, to the Northern Territory to accompany you. All these years, I’ve always been far away from my parents and stayed by your side in a foreign land. When have I let you down? Even if I ate the Innate Talent Pill that originally belonged to you…”

“Only when you were diagnosed as a useless person did Aunt give it to me. If you were just fine, how would I have a share? I have always been just the little sister behind you. Do you hate me so much just because of a single Innate Talent Pill? But it’s clearly a pill that you don’t need. Can’t I even eat it?” Su Lianhua cried woefully pitifully.

“How tragic…”

“That’s right. This Ye Qianli is indeed talented, but she seems to have a tyrannical personality. It is a little unreasonable for her to bully her younger female cousin like this.” There would always be some people who like to parrot other people’s words to express how kind-hearted they were. As a result, they started to condemn her.

As for Ye Qianli?

She looked at this drama-queen younger female cousin expressionlessly. She stared to the extent of embarrassing Luo Xingping, who was about to relieve the tension in the air, when she answered with this instead: “Are you done speaking? Are you going to continue crying?”

“If you really hate me that much, please give me some pointers,” Su Lianhua wiped her tears and said to Ye Qianli.

Ye Qianli laughed then. “Are you saying that, if I give you pointers and spar with you, that means I hate you? When did the competing stage of the Prodigy Convention have such rules?”

“Please give me some pointers,” Su Lianhua said with her lips pursed, looking aggrieved.

“…” Luo Xingping felt that today was definitely the day he had hosted a Prodigy Convention that had the most number of awkward situations arise! How could he continue doing the hosting?

Ye Qianli asked him, “Lord Luo, why aren’t you saying anything? Can we start sparring yet?”

“Sure, sure. Do as you please.” After Luo Xingping said that, he left the stage straight away. He didn’t care anymore.

After he left, only Ye Qianli and Su Lianhua were left on the stage. The latter had a weak and pitiful look on her face while the former had her arms crossed over her chest with unlimited vigor.

“Ye Qianli wouldn’t really hit her, right? That would be too inhumane!”

“That’s right, Su—” Below the stage, there were people with inflated morals discussing loudly. Who would have thought that, before these passionate condemnations of theirs could brew and reach their climaxes, Ye Qianli had already made a move!

Bang!

Moreover, Ye Qianli was still very straightforward. With a leg, she kicked Su Lianhua—who was acting pitifully in front of her—off the stage! She kicked Su Lianhua into the crowd without any civility or mercy!
