Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1616: Chapter 1596: Woon Xin’s Second Grandfather, Bai Jian’s Teacher

After Wang Mazi discussed matters with everyone, he left. He still needed to worry about the upcoming issues with his fellow disciples, and he had to go back to discuss with everyone.

After this, Luo Qianqian also did not go looking for Bai Jian. Even if unspoken, she believed that Bai Jian and the people of the Ten Thousand Sect would not harm the people of Nine Heavens Pavilion in the slightest.

What she did not expect was that Bai Jian would actually take the initiative to come to their little courtyard with the elders of the Sword Sect.

”Shiqi.” Bai Jian looked at Luo Qianqian somewhat sheepishly, appearing a bit embarrassed at the elder beside him. This elder had always been extremely protective of Woon Xin, so upon hearing Woon Xin had met Luo Qianqian, not listening to their dissuasion, insisted on meeting the people from Nine Heavens Pavilion before the final starts and meeting Luo Qianqian.

”Bai Jian?” Luo Qianqian looked at Bai Jian with a slight surprise, and then collected the things on the ground, looking at him suspiciously: ”Why are you here? This gentleman is...?”

Seeing the elder’s stern face, and his attitude towards Bai Jian as well as their attitude, it was obvious he was an elder of the Ten Thousand Sect. But what was he here for? This left Luo Qianqian a bit puzzled.

Moreover, this attitude, how does it seem like...the feeling of an old father hostile to his daughter’s soon-to-be son-in-law as she is about to leave the family? Could it be they had abducted this elder’s prized disciple?

It must be said, women’s intuition is extremely sensitive, and Luo Qianqian sensed the elder’s thoughts.

However, obviously, she believed within the sect, no one did such a thing.

Not to mention, she and He Wenyu thoroughly lack such intentions towards Bai Jian, even if there were such intentions, the ones who should come to make accusations should be the elders of Nine Heavens Pavilion, right? Isn’t his attitude somewhat off?

Immediately, she cast a suspicious glance at Bai Jian. Besides Bai Jian, the people in their sect who had contact with Nine Heavens Pavilion seemed to only include Woon Xin.

But aside from her and He Wenyu, the remaining two people were not from their sect, one was Mo and the other was Bai Yinshu.

Could it be Woon Xin had a liking for someone?

Otherwise, why would this elderly lady-in-law have such an expression?

”This is my teacher...” Bai Jian wore an expression of mild embarrassment: ”And also Woon Xin’s second grandfather.”

Indeed...

This thought abruptly emerged in Luo Qianqian’s mind, and she proceeded with a knowing nod: ”Please sit, may I ask if this sudden visit close to dusk is for some urgent matter? Would you like tea, water, juice, or something else?”

”...Ahem! I’d like sour plum tea.” The elder coughed lightly and said.

Luo Qianqian blinked innocently: ”Sour plum tea is a signature at Forget Worries Tea House, here we only have regular sour plums and tea.”

He Wenyu looked at Luo Qianqian speechlessly, how could it be possible not to have? Others might not know, but don’t those inside know? They could enjoy whatever Forget Worries Tea House had anytime. But it seemed Luo Qianqian was doing this intentionally? So she decided not to say anything, just to watch quietly.

The elder instantly looked at Luo Qianqian incredulously: ”Is this how your Nine Heavens Pavilion treats guests?!”

Just look at that, clearly his ire was rising, obviously looking for trouble.

”Then we’ll fetch it from Forget Worries Tea House, please wait a moment.” Luo Qianqian said with a smile. She turned to He Wenyu: ”Shiliu, let’s head over to Forget Worries Tea House.”

”Sure.” He Wenyu promptly nodded.

Bai Jian was at a loss, hastily raising his hands: ”Please, don’t make a fuss. Teacher, if you want a drink, I’ll go fetch it for you...”

The elder cast Bai Jian a sideways look: ”...Then what are you still doing here?!”

Bai Jian: ”...” Well, he’s leaving, he’s just the type that neither his master nor his junior sister loves!

”Do you have any other instructions? Would you like some refreshments?” Luo Qianqian continued politely asking, but indeed showing a clear attitude of enjoying the spectacle.

She wanted to see what the elder planned to do.

However, since he was Bai Jian and Woon Xin’s elder, she wouldn’t go too far.

”No tea, what refreshments?” The elder snorted at Luo Qianqian: ”You’re the Luo Shiqi that Woon Xin talked about?”

”Indeed, this little girl is named Luo Shiqi, but whether I am the one you mean, I wouldn’t know. After all, a name is just an identifier; I’ve known a dozen Bai Jians myself.” Luo Qianqian replied respectfully, turning to He Wenyu: ”Sister Shiliu, please serve the elder a cup of chrysanthemum tea and some mint-flavored snacks.”

He Wenyu paused, then left for the kitchen, struggling to suppress her laughter.

The words Luo Qianqian did not say were naturally meant to simmer down the elder, otherwise, whom was he showing this temper to?

The people inside the room exchanged glances, knowing a dozen Bai Jians? Among those surname Bai that they knew, Bai Jian, Bai Yinshu, Bai Yizhu used to be all part of the Bai Family centuries ago. But are there really so many Bai Jians? Doubts arose...

The elder’s face also looked odd. Knowing that many?

Was this implying he might have sought out the wrong person, vented wrongly? Hmph, does he seem senile?

In this Southern Li Imperial City, besides this Luo Shiqi of Nine Heavens Pavilion, no others dared to use the name Luo Shiqi!

He Wenyu quickly brought tea, serving two plates of snacks, one mint cool cake, and one mint lotus seed pastry.

She then made a gesture towards Luo Qianqian and snuck into the room to watch the show. She had no interest in participating in the elder’s theatrics.

The elder took a sip of tea and immediately frowned, then took a bite of mint lotus seed pastry, his expression even more bitter.

”Can this rubbish actually sell for a hundred taels of gold? Do people nowadays enjoy this flavor?” The elder looked at Luo Qianqian with an unbelievable face: ”Were you the one who coaxed my little darling Woon Xin into learning that ridiculous Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Art?!”

Finally, he’s getting to the point.

”Coaxing isn’t really the term, rather she finally faced her thoughts outright, instead of avoiding them,” Luo Qianqian sat calmly, looking at the elder: ”Always suppressing them, is that a good thing? Isn’t it better to find a proper outlet to express all her inner resentment and hatred, isn’t that more beneficial for her future growth?”

The elder was deeply frustrated; such words, they as elders had said countless times, what use did they have?

All this while, young Woon Xin constantly smiled at them, saying she’s fine.

If it weren’t for her directly going to find the Sect Leader and urging him to share the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Art, they couldn’t even imagine that she had come around.

This is why, as the impatient Second Elder of the sect, he rushed out.

He really wanted to know what kind of Demon Art this Luo Shiqi, praised so highly by Woon Xin, used to influence Woon Xin.

Woon Xin said, Sister Shiqi is great, the snacks are delicious, the tea is flavorful, having goals to strive for feels wonderful.

Thus, he came to freeload food and drink and to meet this person that Woon Xin only met once but gave such high praise.

She, who became renowned among various sects for cruelly killing the enemies who harmed her brother, was this Luo Shiqi.
