At first, she didn’t want to dwell on the matter too much and simply brushed off the repugnant Baron before her. Who would have guessed that, in his pursuit of reconciliation, he would persistently push the boundaries?
Qiao Mu had never been one to shy away from conflict, but she found it rather bothersome. However, if the other party was so determined to challenge her, well, she was more than willing to oblige.
Su Xihua noticed an instant s.h.i.+ft in the girl’s demeanor. Her previous nonchalance gave way to an aura of p.r.i.c.kly determination. Her cold, menacing gaze locked onto him with unwavering intensity.
This sudden change sent a s.h.i.+ver down his spine. For some reason, he felt a subtle but undeniable fear in the face of that intense gaze.
Simultaneously, he couldn’t believe that he, a grown man, was rattled by a young lady’s glare. It was almost unbearable.
Overwhelmed by humiliation, Su Xihua couldn’t help but sneer and remarked, “Qiao Mu, today, I’ll educate you on proper behavior.”
“Your arrogance knows no bounds.”
“Women should be submissive and not a.s.sert themselves in everything!”
Su Xihua’s words dripped with disdain for women. His demeanor was haughty, raising his chin like a proud peac.o.c.k. Qiao Mu couldn’t fathom where he found the audacity to be so arrogant in her presence.
“Rot in h.e.l.l,” Qiao Mu retorted impatiently before releasing two small, transparent orbs.
The commotion caused by Su Xihua’s sword had already drawn the attention of everyone in the Cultivation Hall. Just as Mentor Ma, accompanied by a group of students, rushed to the scene, they witnessed Miss Qiao tossing two round, translucent orbs in Su Xihua’s direction.
Su Xihua’s face twisted into a contemptuous smile. He summoned a partial spiritual armor onto his arm, positioning it to intercept the two incoming spheres. His intention was to casually dismiss the feeble attempt.
“You think you can impress me with a pair of mere spiritual energy spheres? You’re terribly naive…!”
“Su Xihua, move aside!” Mentor Ma’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t hold back his shout.
But what was this talk of spiritual energy spheres? It was evident that these held divine energy, right? These were not mere spiritual energy spheres—these were two divine energy orbs!
Two of them!
Oh my heavens, this was the Crown Prince Consort of the Divine Province in action, hurling not one but two invaluable divine power orbs!
Yet, there was no time to ponder this remarkable feat. Instead…
“Everyone, quickly form the formation!!”
“Activate the defensive barrier!!!”
“Defend, defend!!!”
The mentors yelled in unison, and a chaotic frenzy of activating defensive spiritual tools erupted. Those who possessed spiritual armor hastily summoned it to s.h.i.+eld themselves.
The mentors even stepped forward in unison, collaborating to establish an extensive defensive barrier.
Meanwhile!
Boom!
Boom!!
Two thunderous detonations echoed through the small courtyard of the cultivation hall, the reverberations breaking through the skies.
Even the students in the other third of a cm hall were shocked.
In the smelting weapons hall, a tall and thin young man who was standing beside Mo Lian and carefully making a defensive mystic weapon could not help but break loose. He almost added a material into the cauldron.
“F*ck!”
“My hands are trembling.”
“It sounds like the noise is coming from the direction of the weapon-smithing hall.” Mentor Zhang, who was seated just a third of a meter away, couldn’t resist glancing out the window.
Mo Lian set aside one of the weapons inside the furnace. After acknowledging Mentor Zhang, he swiftly made his way out.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that this considerable commotion might be the result of his Qiaoqiao stirring up trouble!
As this notion crossed Mo Lian’s mind, he had an urge to break free and bury his face in his hands.
