Chapter 184 A lackey who abuses his power
No one saw how Feng Jiutian made her move, but everyone knew it was her. Isn't this just stirring up trouble?
The person in question calmly filled the five teacups in front of her with tea before raising her head and leisurely saying to the crowd watching her, "It wasn't me who did it, why are you looking at me?" After saying that, she invited the remaining four people to drink tea, and then barely glanced at them again, as if they didn't exist.
"How dare you hit me? Don't you know who I work for?" The person who was hit was immediately enraged and pointed his finger at Feng Jiutian, yelling at him.
"I know, just a dog from Luojia Academy."
After saying this lightly, Feng Jiutian drank the tea in her cup in one gulp.
"You..." The person was so angry that they couldn't speak, the word "you" stuck in their throat and they couldn't make a sound.
"Stop being so formal and get out of here. Let me give you a piece of advice: don't risk your life for a position. It's not worth it." Qiang Huan spoke up. It was obvious that the other academies were deliberately trying to take advantage of the Royal Academy because they didn't like it.
"If anyone does such despicable things again, don't blame me, Feng Jiutian, for turning my back on you. No matter which academy you're from, you'll die." Feng Jiutian's phoenix eyes swept around the crowd, finally settling on the man's face. The last word was practically squeezed out between his teeth.
Those around her sensed the chill in her words; she was absolutely capable of such a crazy thing.
For a moment, no one made a sound. The people from other colleges had not yet returned, and those who were there were just some lackeys who relied on their master's power.
Ignoring them further, Feng Jiutian and the others continued discussing the competition three days later.
The results of the draw had already been announced to several people, and they didn't expect to be drawn from the strongest school, Maple Forest Academy.
All four of them looked down at the table, remaining silent, their spirits somewhat low.
"What's there to be afraid of? Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain."
Looking at the four of them like this, Feng Jiutian gently tapped the table, saying with a hint of disappointment.
"They're just a bunch of arrogant people, nothing to be afraid of. And do you know what? They still think our academy is like the cats it used to be, but what they don't know is that we've long since become tigers, tigers that only have eyes on the number one spot."
Feng Zhi chuckled at the metaphor and said, "Jiu Tian, your metaphor is quite apt. I'm amazed you came up with it."
Everyone else relaxed as well. Feng Jiutian shrugged indifferently, saying it was just the truth.
After all this, the relationship between the group became much more harmonious. The resentment they had harbored towards Feng Jiutian because of her defeat in the past had all disappeared, and the Royal Academy was more united than before.
It was getting late, so after discussing it, the group decided to go back to their rooms to rest. They hadn't recovered from the fatigue of their journey, and Feng Jiutian was no exception.
After quickly tidying up, Feng Jiutian drifted off to sleep.
As dawn broke, Feng Jiutian woke up from her cultivation, put on her shoes, washed up, and went out for a walk.
As soon as she opened the door, a blast of cool air hit her. Feng Jiutian took a deep breath, feeling the stale air in her heart disappear with each breath, and her mood improved considerably.
There was only a stone bench and a table and chairs in the courtyard. Feng Jiutian walked around the open space twice and decided to go out and take a look.
It was still early, so I didn't encounter anyone as I walked through the garden.
However, this suited Feng Jiutian's wishes perfectly, as she was not one to enjoy crowds.
It must be said that the scenery in this garden is quite beautiful. At this time of year, many flowers are in full bloom, a sight that is rarely seen at other times.
Feng Jiutian took a somewhat aimless stroll. The sun had already crossed the horizon, and the weather was gradually warming up.
As she walked, she suddenly found herself in a remote place.
There was a large tree in this place, whose name I don't know, with a beautiful flower hanging on one of its branches.
Feng Jiutian, watching, suddenly became interested. He flew to a tree branch and reached out to pluck the flower. But before his hand could even touch the flower, he was swept away by a whip.
Feng Jiutian looked in the direction of the whip and saw a girl in tight-fitting clothes standing under a tree, playing with the flowers in her hand.
The woman was probably around sixteen years old, dressed in a close-fitting outfit, with a slender waist that could be encircled by one hand, and a beautiful face with a touch of heroic spirit. If one ignored the smug look in her eyes, even Feng Jiutian would have to admit that she deserved a word of praise.
Feng Jiutian landed on the ground, glanced at the woman, and didn't intend to say anything more.
The woman raised an eyebrow at Feng Jiutian, then reached out to stop him. "You want this flower?"
Feng Jiutian didn't know what she meant. After pausing for two seconds, he replied in a low voice, "I just haven't seen it before and wanted to take a closer look."
Feng Jiutian was always cautious about people who were neither friend nor foe, and his words did not reveal anything.
The woman's lips curved into a smile as she looked Feng Jiutian up and down: "I've long heard that many people in the Royal Academy get in through connections, and there are many who are ignorant of the ways of the world. I had some doubts before, but now it seems that the rumors are true."
"Ignorant?" Feng Jiutian frowned. Looking at the girl's attire, he guessed she was a disciple of some school. It was better to avoid trouble.
She thought to herself, and was about to walk past the woman and leave.
The woman took another step back, blocking Feng Jiutian's path, her face clearly showing disdain.
"I am Mu Yuan from Luojia Academy. If you see me again, remember to give way."
"Why?"
Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow. Luojia Academy, Mu Yuan? What does that have to do with her?
Mu Yuan seemed to have heard something amusing, her face full of mocking smiles. "I've said all this about your school, and you haven't even made a move, which shows you're a coward too. To avoid causing trouble, you'd better give me a wide berth."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and stuffed the flowers in her hand into Feng Jiutian's hand. "These flowers, you should take a good look at them and broaden your horizons. I'm being generous by giving them to you."
After saying that, she gracefully put away the whip and prepared to leave.
Feng Jiutian had initially intended to prioritize harmony, but Mu Yuan didn't seem to share that view. She pinched the flower in her hand and crumpled it, then before the woman could take two steps, she threw the flower at her.
Hearing the sound of air tearing behind her, Mu Yuan turned around and pulled out her whip, knocking the flower to the ground.
The flower fell to the ground as she moved, spun around a few times, and was no longer recognizable.
"You are a mage." This statement was made with absolute certainty. Mu Yuan was also a mage, so she naturally realized that the flower was not simply thrown over, but contained magical power.
She was also a mage, but she had also studied some martial arts techniques.
Her whip moved with effortless skill and carried magical power; no one of her level could defeat her.
“You’re a mage too.” Feng Jiutian clapped his hands, brushing away the debris.
