Chapter 246: A Silly Girl


Translator: Flying Lines


Touching the ground lightly with her tiptoe, Murong Xue flew to the man clad in gray and landed squarely before him.


With the cold gleam shimmering in his eyes, the man thrust at Murong Xue with his wooden stick mercilessly.


With a smirk, she avoided his attack by leaning aside before launching a punch to the man’s chest and knocking him down. “Give the silver ingots back to me.” Murong Xue glared at him in a condescending manner.


Winking at her unnaturally, the man flicked his wrist to hit Murong Xue’s wrinkles with the stick.


Murong Xue leaped to the air before outstretching her leg to kick his cheek. The man bumped against the ground with his head suffering from a serious injury.


Murong Xue hurried forward to seize him by the collar, her fair hand reaching for the silver ingot hidden in the shabby money bag hung on his waist. “If you dare to rob others of their money in public, I will…”


“You villain, stop bullying the weak!” There came a clear voice filled with anger even before Murong Xue could finish her words. A cherry red figure darted toward Murong Xue and launched a punch mercilessly.


She let go of that man and took a step back to avoid the unreasonable attack. “What are you doing?” Murong Xue asked with displeasure.


It was a girl of fourteen or fifteen with a naive and rosy face as delicate as jade, her long eyebrows slightly curling upward, her chins lifted up high. She was staring at Murong Xue arrogantly with her grape-like eyes filled with hostility.


“I came here to defend the weak against injustice!” She said in fury as she reached out to protect the man behind her. Murong Xue couldn’t help sneering at her foolish bravery. “He is a thief, not the weak…” She said as she pointed at the man.


“Don’t even try to deny what you have done. I saw it clearly that you robbed him of the silver ingot…” The girl interrupted her rudely with a furious stare at Murong Xue.


“It was mine to start with. He snatched it from me. I just want to take it back…” Murong Xue retorted coldly.


“Really?” The girl looked down at the man, who was clad in a gray shirt dotted with patches and a pair of worn-out shorts doubtfully, his hair straggly, his chin covered with messy beard.


With his half-closed eyes glimmering, the man knelt before the girl all of a sudden and sobbed. “I am innocent. Please uphold justice, Miss…”


The girl patted his shoulder to comfort him. “Set your mind at ease. I will get your money back…”


Given her selflessness and awe-inspiring righteousness, Murong Xue said coldly with a frown, “Miss, please look at him carefully. Do you really think he has one hundred taels of silver?”


“As a beggar, he surely doesn’t have one hundred taels of silver, but you did snatch the money you have just given to him…” The girl said emphatically with a stare at Murong Xue in contempt.


Murong Xue was speechless.


Why would she snatch the silver back if she had given it to the beggar in charity? Was she out of her mind?


“Given the dress and valuable jewelry you are wearing, you must be from a powerful family. I knew many people like you who oppresses the poor for your own pleasure…”


“The poor also have feelings and emotions. They are human beings who also need respect and care, rather than animals slaughtered at men’s will…”


“As a noble girl, you should set a good example by respecting and caring ordinary people instead of bullying and fooling them. Just as the saying goes, not only can the water float your boat, but also sink it. When ordinary people are in rage, the arrogant noble girls like you will be the first to bear the brunt…” The girl kept rebuking Murong Xue with contempt.


How cynical she was! Not only did she believe the man’s bullshit, but also kept telling that nonsense to others.


Murong Xue twitched her lips and strode forward.


The girl watched her resolute figure, her face darkening. As the culprit herself, she wasn’t only ungrateful to her instruction, but also left in a huff. What a rude girl!


“Stop!” With a howl, the girl landed in front of Murong Xue.


“What ae you up to?” Murong Xue stared at her coldly, a wisp of impatience skimming across her eyes.


“Leave the one hundred taels of silver,” the girl ordered as a matter of course.


“For what?” Murong Xue raised her eyebrow in full contempt.


“You wounded that beggar seriously. This is the compensation.” The girl retorted righteously.


“It was he who robbed and attacked me. Never imagine I will give him even a penny!” Murong Xue said coldly as she strode forward, with her back towards the girl.


The evil thief was bold enough to steal her money and attack her. Why should she pay for the medical fee? How ridiculous…


With her face turning livid with anger, the girl launched a punch towards Murong Xue in ferociousness. “Don’t you even think about getting away with it. It’s totally reasonable to pay for the medical fee if you have hurt someone seriously…”


Seeing Murong’s stubbornness, she was determined to get the silver by herself.


With a snort, Murong Xue avoided her attack and took the punch directly with her palm. Two slim shadows, respectively in blue and red, tussled with each other fiercely in the air, their sharp moves too dazzling to tell who had launched the attack.


The girl exerted herself to take a swing with her fist to attack Murong Xue, her cherry red dress fluttering in the wind.


Murong Xue defended against her attack casually in disdain. It was beyond her expectation that the girl’s martial skills were that poor. As incapable as she was, the girl had the courage to stand out…


Seeing the girl directing her fist at her ferociously, Murong Xue kicked her forcefully out of impatience and knocked her to the ground with a cold stare. “Don’t merely focus on our combat. Why don’t you take a look at that “victim” instead?”
