CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 106: DISPUTE (PART 2)
"Miss, it is not reasonable for you to act like this. It’s his fault for offending you, but you also have faults. I think if you just apologize, we can let this go," Xia You twisted the thug’s arm as she was wary of him resisting, thus she exerted some force. The subdued thug howled in pain until she slightly loosened her grip.
"Who are you? If I tell you to break it, break his arm. If you don’t break it now, I’ll find someone to take his arm off later," Ding Ling saw more and more onlookers, and everyone was pointing fingers at her, feeling both ashamed and angry, becoming more illogical.
"Miss, we are all here to attend the worship, we are brothers and sisters, it’s inappropriate to act like this," Li Zhen couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to speak up for justice.
"Who is brothers and sisters with these scums and you people with Yin Yang Strange Qi, don’t even look at your own status." Ding Ling’s words further angered the gangsters, and they surrounded her again.
"Everyone, stop," a clear female voice instantly extinguished the fire on the lawn. The few thugs voluntarily dispersed, Xia You was still holding the man and couldn’t turn back when a girl in a gold and white worship dress approached.
Looking at her age, she seemed to be about the same age as Xia You and the girl in the wheelchair. However, her demeanor made people overlook her age. Her serene smile and the soft gaze towards the people quietened the previously noisy thugs and the girl in the wheelchair.
"Xianxian, look at these people," Ding Ling pouted, seeing her friend, and she quickly recounted all the rude behaviors of the crowd.
"Xiao Ling, this is your fault." A flash of displeasure crossed Xianxian’s dark eyes. The worship she organized was almost disrupted by Ding Ling. This princess, pampered by the Ding Family, always caused trouble in public appearances.
"I’m really sorry," Xianxian walked up to Xia You, lightly brushed over Xia You’s wrist hitting a particular acupoint which made Xia You suddenly unable to exert any strength, allowing the thug to break free, "It’s my friend’s fault, please forgive us all."
Just a few gentle words, like spring rain on the sweet rain, instantly extinguished everyone’s grievances. However, Xianxian’s unasked touching of Xia You’s wrist somewhat displeased Xia You.
The one who tried to intervene became the meddlesome, and all the credits went to this new appearing girl.
"Holy Daughter is being too polite," the nearby thugs scratched their heads, embarrassedly sitting back on the lawn.
"Miss, Xiao Ling." After the Ding Family’s caretaker and Wei Ruqin tidied everything up, they realized Ding Ling had walked ahead alone, hurriedly catching up, and encountered a crowd of people, thinking Ding Ling had caused some trouble again.
Xia You, who had returned to her spot, subconsciously looked up when she heard "Xiao Ling," glancing towards the people clustered around the wheelchair.
Seeing Xianxian still standing among the crowd, Wei Ruqin also felt relieved, knowing that with Xianxian present, Ding Ling probably wouldn’t make any big trouble either.
Ding Ling, who doesn’t even care for her father Ding Hao, only listens to two people: one is Lu Xun, and the other is Xianxian.
David Sect’s Holy Daughter Xianxian, intelligent and cunning, beautiful both in looks and mind, even Wei Ruqin couldn’t help but like her, no wonder the fickle and spoiled Ding Ling couldn’t help but bow her head in her presence.
It is already nine fifty, the autumn sun isn’t as warm as the winter sun. Xia You looked up, a bright glare in front of her. From where she stood, facing the sun, the lawn had little cover.
By the time her eyes adjusted to the harsh light, the wheelchair and the women had already walked away.
"That girl just now is our Holy Daughter. Young as she is, she’s an extremely significant person, even a fervent believer, upon seeing her, could only behave submissively," Li Zhen said softly.
Since joining the David Sect, for several years, she only had the chance to see the Holy Daughter from afar, this was the first time she saw the Holy Daughter up close. Looking closely, the Holy Daughter herself seemed to glow.
Xia You did not retort. Arguing with someone with religious beliefs about the wrongness of their revered figures and practices is an offense. However, this Holy Daughter named Xianxian, doesn’t seem as simple as she appears.
Based on instinct, Xia You held such thoughts, and indeed, this Holy Daughter named Xianxian appeared not to like her either.
Xianxian wasstanding on the only raised part of the lawn, smilingly, giving a courtesy to everyone.
That gesture? Xia You immediately recognized it. It was the same as the gesture of the half-masked woman in "Military Road," hands clasped together, forming a cross. Also, it was the gesture seen at the temple, done by the maids.──Xia You had once wondered if the "military station" and the temple were linked, but subsequent signs suggested otherwise.
Xianxian sang the Holy Poem, and every believer in the field was enjoying this moment of spiritual cleansing through the poetry sung by the Holy Daughter. They forgot their troubles and the discontent in reality.
The searing autumn sun seemed to disappear before their eyes, and everyone felt as though they were in a spring forest, surrounded by bird calls and the scent of flowersNetBartering, and people’s restlessness drifted away bit by bit.
Li Zhen also closed her eyes and bowed her head, joining Xianxian in singing, as everyone’s voices merged together.
Xianxian satisfactorily watched the believers’ reactions, but among the harmonious voices, there was one discordant presence.
Among nearly a thousand closed eyes, there was one pair of eyes, looking over everyone’s heads towards Xianxian standing in the front.
"It’s her again!" Xianxian disliked Xia You’s gaze, really disliked it. From the first moment she saw Xia You, she didn’t like her.(To be continued. If you like this story, welcome to Qidian to vote and support, your support is my biggest motivation.)
