Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1666: Chapter 1646:

”Isn’t that ridiculous? Don’t joke with me.” He Wenyu shook his head. ”The problem arose after the Snow Palace leader left.”

Why would Haan Bing and the Snow Palace fall out with each other? After all, they’ve been getting along for so many years, haven’t they?

Then what could it be for?

Could it be... Haan Bing knows about Old Man Haan’s matter?

Luo Qianqian widened her eyes in astonishment. If that’s the case, it seems it could explain why Haan Bing didn’t make a move on her?

But, how did Haan Bing find out? Old Man Haan had no means to contact him.

Moreover, if he knew long ago, there’s no reason for him to hold back until now?

”After the sudden deaths at the Snow Palace, various sects began getting ambushed. Although no one died, countless were injured, and even the elites set to compete in the final trials were dragged into it.”

Luo Qianqian gasped, the elites... it looks like a considerable number of people are involved!

”And at this time, with no damage among the other eight sects, Fire Cloud Sect’s Huangfu Ze announced an upcoming alliance with the Nine Heavens Pavilion...” He Wenyu tugged at the corner of his mouth, a face full of a bitter smile. ”The alliance partner, is him.”

”Oh my god... is he interested in his brother?” Luo Qianqian’s eyes instantly widened in disbelief, repeatedly reassuring herself, ”Can’t have a different perspective, love can turn into hate, loving deeply often leads to hatred, and... knowing your beloved so well can indeed make hate deep.”

”Shiqi, where’s your mind?” He Wenyu smacked his forehead in frustration, ”It’s obvious he’s targeting you, okay? But you have many people around you, he might not have his way.”

”So, isn’t it...” Luo Qianqian paused, realizing why He Wenyu needed Zhang Sheng.

”That’s right, I’m worried he has feelings towards me, so I decided to find someone as a backup. After all, I know Zhang Sheng well; even if something were to happen later, I can have a good retreat, can’t I? With him, I can still opt for an amicable separation or divorce, but with that person... I’m really afraid I might die,” He Wenyu smiled bitterly, ”Among the females representing Nine Heavens Pavilion, there’s only the two of us, without a doubt.”

”I don’t care, that’s shameless, we’re not interested!” Luo Qianqian immediately glared, patting He Wenyu’s shoulder, ”Don’t worry, he’ll have to step over my dead body to marry you! I won’t push you into a fiery pit!”

”Instead of worrying about me, you should worry more about yourself.” He Wenyu rolled his eyes.

Though she knew very well about the matter between Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi, now it seemed a bit distant.

Not to mention the unknown distance between the two, and looking around Luo Qianqian, outstanding people keep emerging.

First, the Huangfu brothers, both were once Princes! Luo Qianqian poached them into their sect and even got into conflict with their brothers in the major sects.

Then there are Yan and Mo, the twins who helped the Nine Heavens Pavilion innumerably; most importantly, both are very attentive to Luo Qianqian, even if they haven’t expressed it outright, she can understand from their eyes.

Then there’s Haan Bing, clearly on an opposing side with Luo Qianqian, and Wang Mazi, who is quite concerned for her...

Scratching her head, sighing, Luo Qianqian’s matters are truly head-spinning.

”What about me...” At this point, Luo Qianqian stiffened, realizing her own issues, sighing faintly, she looked at Yan and Mo, who were talking with Bai Yinshu, those two with identical features, ”Keep going.”

”Continue... Ah, we talked about Fire Cloud Sect, right? Then we left, not lingering, afraid of drawing that pervert’s attention.” He Wenyu continued, frowning again after finishing, ”But I heard, Fire Cloud Sect’s ranking has risen by two places this time, while positions of the rest of the Top Ten Sects remained unchanged, only Fire Cloud Sect rose, the remaining two descended incrementally, with no new sect joining the ranks.”

”Huangfu Ze is indeed formidable, but compared to other sects, there should still be a gap. Thinking back to how Shui Yuntian effortlessly repelled people at the time, one can imagine,” Luo Qianqian sighed, ”What about the Ten Thousand Sect?”

”Bai Jian visited the courtyard, but... no one was there, you know.” He Wenyu shrugged, ”I noticed a dark annoyance on his face, the letter was discovered by Woon Xin who accompanied him.”

”He’s out of his mind, ignore him.” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, ”So, Ten Thousand Sect is still under the Water Ripple Sect?”

”Yes, but it seems like Shui Yuntian never made a move, not sure if it’s out of disdain or what.”

”Every family has its struggles, who cares.” Luo Qianqian sighed, leisurely glancing at He Wenyu, ”Where’s your Snow Beast?”

”...Advancing, taken to the Academy by the teacher.” He Wenyu scratched his head awkwardly, ”Ate quite a lot of Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine from the teacher and Bai Yinshu.”

”No worries, I’ll replenish them for you later, don’t fret.” Luo Qianqian quickly patted He Wenyu comfortingly, her face changing quickly as she noted, ”Wait, teacher? Did you take a mentor?”

He Wenyu nodded, ”Honestly, I have a knack for it, though it’s in cooking.”

”Nonsense, I know that best, super delicious!” Luo Qianqian immediately nodded, giving her utmost approval, ”...That old timer is making you cook for her? Isn’t he bullying you? Just looking for a cook, right?”

”No, no...” He Wenyu quickly waved his hands, ”As far as I know, it’s medicinal cooking.”

”Eh?” Luo Qianqian was puzzled.

That old timer is Bai Yinshu’s teacher, as well as Yan and Mo’s teacher, right?

”But the recipes he gave me, when made, always have too strong a medicinal taste, even I don’t want to eat it.” He Wenyu looked at Luo Qianqian listlessly, ”It rivals your level.”

Luo Qianqian: ”...” No response.

”That’s not bad though, it’s something you’re good at, right? Won’t be too tough, plus, take it slow, you can’t go from a novice to a master overnight, can you? I’m willing to be your test subject.” Luo Qianqian tugged Wenyu’s arm, a face full of calm, ”I totally believe in you, back when we were kids you made wonderful little cakes, can’t be worse now that you’ve grown, right?”

Hearing this, He Wenyu also smiled; indeed, her talent was discovered at a young age.

Moreover, she really loved... seeing others enjoy the food she made with faces full of enjoyment.
