Chapter 173: Ghost in the Magic World - Prelude (7)
Xiang Kui blinked her eyes.
And thinking about the Shang Family that still allowed Shang Kui to exist and then Shang Xiyue’s existence overshadow her...
It was obvious that Shang Family Head originally just wanted to stimulate his daughter.
But Shang Kui unable to comprehend it.
The double pressure form Bing Hong Xiang and Shang Xiyue just made the already fragile Shang Kui to be unable to withstand the huge responsibility placed on her shoulder and allowed her to eventually collapse.
It was truly a pity.
But Xiang Kui understood that this was simply the method of teaching for most of the big families.
Letting their ’stain’ remain.
Because this ’stain’ would be able to stimulate the younger generation to grow.
When the ’stain’ was no longer necessary, then it would not be a problem to hand over the butcher knife over.
Xiang Kui remembered that it was the Shang Family Head who gave the permission for them to execute his own daughter in the end. It was obvious that Shang Family Head had already given up on his daughter at that time.
"...It’s messy," Xiang Kui muttered.
And it was truly sad.
In this cruel world, they had to do everything they could in order to let the children grow stronger. But instead of letting them have real rival with healthy competition, they were allowed to engage in hatred and revenge.
It was cruel.
But perhaps, this was their way of survival that the older generation had found and chose to pass down to the latter generation.
"Don’t think too much." Jun Lin shook his head and then said firmly, "I’ll definitely get away from it."
No matter what the Jun Family planed for him, Jun Lin will not succumb on them and will thwart it!
He still has enough time to grow.
"Yes, you can definitely do it." Xiang Kui smiled encouragingly.
Even though Jun Lin’s original fate was actually tragic, but this time, Xiang Kui believed that Jun Lin would be able to do it.
Because he’s not just that Jun Lin.
But also... the Jun Lin who had been accompanying her to other worlds together.
"So..." Jun Lin turned around and looked straight in Xiang Kui’s direction. He stepped forward, bringing their already close distance even closer and from this position, he could see his own reflection in Xiang Kui’s eyes.
His reflection looked a bit stiff, but there was an earnest expression on his face. "You too, don’t give up to Shang Xiyue so easily. And if Bing Hong Xiang really want to interfere... then call me and Duan Rong Yu together. We’ll help you out."
If it was only Shang Xiyue, it would not be convenient for Jun Lin and Duan Rong Yu to join in the battle.
That would be Shang Kui’s own battle.
But if Bing Hong Xiang insisted on coming in, then there was no need for Duan Rong Yu and Jun Lin to be polite.
They would join hands together and beat up Bing Hong Xiang.
Anyway, neither Duan Rong Yu nor Jun Lin liked Bing Hong Xiang and if he wanted to make trouble to the Jun Family, Duan Rong Yu would say that he was the one who asked Jun Lin to make a move.
Considering how much Jun Lin was unfavored in the Jun Family...
It would be impossible for Bing Hong Xiang to ask for explanation from the Jun Family and had to swallow this loss.
Xiang Kui thought about this matter and then smiled. "I will."
The previous Shang Kui has always been alone and had no one to help her. She had no one to rely on but herself, making her feel as if the world was more and more hopeless.
In despair and desperation, she was hit hard by the so called reality of the world.
But Shang Kui...
You’re not alone.
Even if you do, you can reach out and try to take the hands of other people around you.
Not everyone are scumbags like your father, your cousins, and those.
There are still sincere people.
Don’t you see that?
Xiang Kui smiled and then looked away shyly. Being in such a close distance with her crush, it should have been impossible for Shang Kui to be so calm, so she could only acted in this way.
Jun Lin saw Xiang Kui’s blush and he felt his own ears heat up. He quickly took a step back and then said, "Well, it’s already close to the Shang Family. You... rest early and then we’ll take the exam tomorrow."
After that, Jun Lin distanced himself slightly but didn’t dare to go too far.
Xiang Kui looked to the side and saw Jun Lin’s shy expression and there was a smile on the corner of her eyes.
The current Jun Lin is still very young and cute.
Too bad...
His current appearance is Jun Lin of this world.
But Xiang Kui said nothing and they soon reached the Shang Family Residence. There were guards guarding the gate and they pretended not to see anyone when they saw Shang Kui and Jun Lin coming together.
"See you tomorrow," Jun Lin said.
He had no intention of entering the Shang Family Residence.
After all, Jun Lin knew very well that his own reputation was not very good while Shang Kui’s own reputation...
Well, it was definitely not very good.
While the fact that the two of them had become teammates alongside Duan Rong Yu had been made known, but there was no need to let other people gossip further.
"Um." Xiang Kui nodded and waved her hand as she watched Jun Lin left.
Turning around, Xiang Kui walked into the Shang Family Residence and saw that there were other people from the Shang Family who looked in her direction with some disgust and hatred.
It was obvious that they really didn’t like Shang Kui who made the Shang Family’s reputation plummet even further.
’Thinking about it... when did Shang Kui’s uselessness reputation started?’
