Chapter 128 I Am Here for Revenge
The night sky is full of stars and moons, and the sky restaurant built with crystals is dazzling. Google search reading
In order to celebrate tomorrow's hunting day, the governor invited all the nobles in Fengxi City who are qualified to attend the dinner.
In the luxurious hall, the whole night was filled with wine and jade.
When the dinner was about to end, the guests thanked the governor.
A very discordant "sizzle" sounded.
It seemed to be the sound of clothes being torn.
Li Feng, who had stood up with everyone, was a little confused and looked in the direction of the sound.
But when everyone stood up to thank, Xia actually stood up and sat back.
Under the gaze of everyone, she frowned, her face flushed, her hands were placed below, as if she was holding her skirt tightly, and she seemed to be holding it in.
Looking at her, Li Feng was a little confused. He was about to ask through the contract, but suddenly he figured it out.
Could it be that the "sizzle" sound just now was the sound of Xia's skirt being torn?
It is the hot summer now, and the women's dresses are thin, so...
The sudden situation at the moment shocked Li Feng. He had never seen such a thing before, and wondered how it could be such a coincidence?
This is the most luxurious room in Fengxi Castle, and the tables and chairs are carefully selected.
Every piece is expensive, how could there be nails or burrs to scratch the clothes?
Li Feng was wondering, but when he suddenly noticed that Elena beside him was covering her mouth and laughing.
Instantly understood what the maid Shirley said to Xia before the banquet-
"Miss, Miss Elena seems very angry today, you have to be careful."
Immediately realized that this was Elena's trick.
It turned out that Elena's plan was not just to say a few bad things about Xia in front of everyone, nor to show off the good things she didn't have in front of Xia.
It was not even sitting with Xia in front of her, and deliberately holding her arm to chat about this and that, to anger her.
Li Feng thought of the truth again - people are the sum of social relations.
He could endure a boring banquet for a night and listen to Elena's ridiculous talk for a night for this truth.
But Elena would also make Xia, whom she hated, embarrassed in public for this truth.
The moonlight shone from the crystal dome into the already dazzling sky restaurant.
Because her dress was torn, Xia could only sit there in silence under the pressure of the situation. The nobles attending the meeting were all smart and quickly understood her situation.
The next second, the sound of whispering gradually sounded.
The maid Shirley also understood immediately. She was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
Her lady was not rich, and it was impossible for her to attend a banquet like other ladies and ladies, and ask the maid to prepare an extra set of clothes and two shawls.
And now Shirley also knew that no lady or lady would lend her spare shawl to Xia.
Because even if my young lady is a supernatural being and a great fortune teller, her deceased mother is a commoner and is not favored by the governor.
And the nobles who can come to the banquet tonight all rely on their status, wealth, and supernatural fields, and they don’t need to make friends with Xia.
Rather than lend a helping hand, it is better to gloat over the misfortune.
If the lady doesn’t want to lend, what about the maid’s clothes? Shirley thought about this, but she rejected it immediately.
Because if my young lady wears the servant’s clothes in an occasion like today, she will be laughed at for the rest of her life.
What can I do?
Although my thoughts are thousands of miles away, they are actually only a moment.
From the time Xia’s dress was torn to now, only two or three seconds have passed.
But seeing my young lady’s face flushed and her forbearance, Shirley felt very uncomfortable.
The wealth of her mother’s family behind her is not as good as others, and the clothes and jewelry tonight are not as good as others, and now this kind of thing has happened again.
But just when Shirley was at a loss, a black coat was suddenly handed to her.
‘Huh? It’s Mr. Rhine? ’
Shirley understood immediately and hurriedly put it on Xia.
Wars between men are always life-and-death, but they always stop because of interests and use war to promote peace.
Wars between women are always life-and-death, but they often end to the death.
Li Feng now understands this complaint.
But even so, the means used by Elena are too despicable and mean.
Feeling unhappy with this approach, Li Feng immediately took off his coat and blocked Elena’s hand that was about to climb on his arm.
Then he gave the coat to Xia’s maid Shirley so that she could put it on Xia, and Shirley immediately did so.
So far, the sudden episode passed quickly, and the banquet ended successfully with everyone thanking the governor.
…
The moon was in the sky, the night was like water, and the dinner ended.
The nobles who attended the meeting waited in front of the gate of Storm's End, which was illuminated by gas street lamps, and then left one by one in carriages.
The governor's family returned to their respective rooms accompanied by servants.
"What is this? It actually helped that witch?"
On the deserted garden path, Elena was angry with her maid.
Thinking of Li Feng lending his coat to Xia just now and ignoring her after the banquet.
He also calmly blocked her hand when she wanted to hold his hand, and Elena was furious.
Originally, she wanted to teach Xia a lesson and let her embarrass herself in front of Li Feng, but she actually let her get Li Feng's coat.
Elena became even more angry when she thought that Sia would have to meet Li Feng in the name of borrowing her clothes later.
"She is a low-grade slut who is born to seduce men. What noble lady would do such a thing?"
In the quiet garden leading to her residence, Elena complained loudly as she walked.
"The lady is right."
Elena's maid immediately echoed.
The maid held a kerosene lamp to light the way for Elena.
Although there are gas street lamps in the garden of Storm's End, it is very late at night and the distance between the street lamps is quite far.
Therefore, in order to provide light, the maid who accompanied the master back to the room would carry a kerosene lamp.
Elena's maid is no exception.
Under the dark night like a curtain, a cool breeze suddenly blew.
Just after passing by a tall gas stove streetlight, the light illuminated Elena's very ugly face.
Seeing that she was still angry, the maid thought for a moment and then comforted her:
"Miss, why should you be angry? Although Mr. Rhine has a handsome appearance, he is incomparable to the young people of this generation.
But he is not a nobleman and has no property, so why should the lady bother with him? "
As the maid spoke, she thought of Li Feng again. She suddenly thought of something, and when Elena was angry, she couldn't hold back her smile for a moment.
"But we all said privately that Mr. Rhine would be a very qualified lover!"
Elena, who was already angry, immediately stopped after hearing this:
"What do you know! Mr. Rhine has a title personally granted by the king.
Moreover, I asked someone to inquire, and the king thinks highly of him. Sooner or later, he will leave Storm Island and go to the royal city.
By then, he would be someone who walked in and out of the halls of dignitaries. Not to mention the young people of Storm's End, even their parents, would not be able to do this at all.
So I have to find a way to marry him, let alone..."
When Elena said this, she suddenly laughed sweetly again:
"Not to mention, Mr. Rhine has such an exciting appearance. He is definitely the best candidate for a husband."
As she spoke, she thought of something else, and her face turned cold:
"I have clearly and secretly driven away a bunch of bitches who wanted to marry him, but now here comes the witch Xia, who also wants to climb a high tree!"
The night was as cold as water, and with the maid's agreement, Elena walked like this.
When she walked to the darkest place between two gas street lamps, a gust of night wind suddenly blew by, freezing Elena and tightening her shawl.
But just when she was about to quicken her pace, the kerosene lamp in her maid's hand suddenly went out.
There was no kerosene lamp to illuminate, and the street lights on both sides were far away, so the surrounding light dimmed instantly.
"what's wrong with you?!"
Elena scolded the maid sharply, and the maid was also shocked.
Looking around, there is no one here to turn to for help.
However, she saw light coming from behind the small garden, where there was a remote small building where servants lived.
The maid came up with an idea and immediately said she would go there to borrow some fire.
Hearing the maid's words, Elena raised her chin and told her to go quickly, while she stood here and waited.
The maid immediately picked up her skirt and ran away, but as she left, a cooler wind blew from Elena's back.
Elena was startled and turned around immediately.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a pain on her face and tripped again.
In an instant, the whole person fell to the ground.
The incident happened suddenly in just one second, and Elena was stunned for a long time before she could react.
She lay on the ground and raised her head, just in time to see a pair of shoes and the long skirt on the shoes.
Looking further up, in the darkness where the moonlight intertwined with the shadows of the trees, she saw a person.
"You? Why are you?!"
Sia was standing in front of Elena at the moment. She had just slapped her and knocked her to the ground, and now she was looking down at her with her head raised.
"How's it going? It's interesting, isn't it?"
At this time, Elena finally understood that the cold wind blowing just now and the extinguishing the kerosene lamp and sending the maid away were all Sia's fault.
The feeling of fear came over her instantly. Elena reluctantly got up and took two steps back before shouting loudly:
"What do you want to do? Someone is here!"
However, Sia's smile became even stronger. She looked at Elena who was panicking and wanted to call someone over, and said:
"Just shout, no one will hear you anyway."
"you?"
Elena looked in shock at the increasingly cold air around her and the ice wall that seemed to be solidifying, covering her face and yelling:
"What do you mean?"
"Ah--"
Looking at the distance between the two, Sia smiled and took another step closer, the air-conditioning became even stronger:
"I'm afraid you have forgotten that I am an extraordinary being and you are nothing."
"You! How dare you? This is Storm's End, and my father is here, how dare you?"
The Governor is Alina's support. Even if she is not a transcendent, she is not afraid of Shia, who is a transcendent.
After all, the Governor will not allow his children to use their extraordinary abilities to vent their personal anger.
"Did you hit me just now? How dare you hit me? I will go to my father with my injuries now. You see what my father will do to you!"
Thinking of the Governor, Elena felt confident and threatened to fight back.
Hearing this, Sia actually laughed out loud:
"I hit you? Who can testify? I think you tripped and fell on your own and became confused.
Moreover……"
Shia said and took another step closer. Elena was so frightened that she stepped back until she hit the ice wall that appeared behind her.
"Besides, for a father, is it more useful to have an unlearned daughter or a daughter who is a great fortune teller?
Such a simple truth, you can understand it, right?"
Xia has come very close, and Elena is so scared that she clings to the ice wall behind her.
The ice wall is cold, but her heart is even colder, because she knows that what Xia said is right.
Even if her father doesn't like Xia, he will not expel her from the Wind's End Castle, because she is still useful to her father.
"You don't want there to be a next time."
Looking at Elena, whose eyes were already dull, Xia said one last sentence, then turned around and strode away without looking back.
At the same time, the ice wall behind Elena disappeared, followed by the sound of her falling again.
The surrounding temperature returned to normal, and except for the embarrassed Elena, everything seemed to have never happened.
……
"Aren't you worried? There are also many extraordinary people in Elena's mother's family."
The bright moon was slightly tilted, and Xia couldn't sleep. Knowing that Li Feng was also not asleep, she simply returned his coat to him.
In the garden on a midsummer night, roses bloomed in clusters. Li Feng and Xia took a walk under the blooming roses in the moonlight.
"How do you know?"
Xia was very surprised. She couldn't understand how Li Feng knew what happened just now?
"Don't forget that we have a contractual relationship."
Stepping on the soft grass, Li Feng replied:
"Although I don't know what happened, I can feel that your emotions fluctuate greatly and you have used extraordinary abilities, so."
Xia understood, and she nodded slightly to admit:
"Yes, there are indeed many extraordinary people in her mother's family, but so what?
I am not the real Xia, I am here to avenge the governor, I can't be as muddleheaded as before and let others manipulate me.
Otherwise, it may really be like you said, I just use the dragon's longevity to outlast the governor."
At this point, Xia paused for a moment, she looked at the dragon's head illuminated by torches on the spire not far away, and continued:
"I Sometimes I feel that I have done well enough to pretend to be Xia and sneak into Storm's End.
Then I will try to become a great fortune teller step by step. Even if I can't tell fortunes at all, I can deceive everyone and slowly make myself important.
Every day, I will find ways to get more information from the decision-makers of Storm's End, and then use this information to achieve my own goals.
I thought I had done well, but the fact is that I am still far away from revenge.
In the past, when I encountered difficulties, I would also think, forget it, anyway, the era of dragons is over.
I am alone, what can I do?
But can I really be willing? "
Listening to Xia's words, Li Feng suddenly felt that there was a mirror between him and Xia.
What Xia said on the other side of the mirror was not her own thoughts.
Once upon a time, Li Feng also lived a stable and peaceful life until zombies appeared and lost his loved ones one after another.
I thought life was like this, but after crossing, I found that my tragedy was actually a game used by people in another world to amuse themselves.
He was also angry and unwilling to accept the mastermind behind all this.
But in the end, he could only continue to compromise, because what else could he do if he didn't compromise?
But who would have thought that after more than 20 years of compromise, he would become a player again, forced to enter another game world and fight for his life.
So, what is the truth of the world? Who is behind all this? What is his purpose? When will it end?
Suddenly, he remembered the system task, the fishing task to obtain "a piece of the truth of the world". Li Feng suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart. He asked Xia:
"What are you going to do next?"
