As Fusheng hurried to the Martial arts school, she recalled what happened the previous day and headed straight for where the food was sold, despite being late for class. She bought a light breakfast before hurrying off class. Although cultivators could stay without eating mortal food and would not suffer any backlash, Fusheng was just in the Qi Condensation Stage and had not yet reach that stage, so she needed to avoid the situation of almost fainting.
Finding her way to the Martial arts school the second day was easier compared to the first day. As she was about to pass through the groove that separated the Martial arts school from the rest of the world Feilong spoke to her from her sea of consciousness
"Wow, this place is filled with rich, clear Qi. I thought it was Martial arts first for you, how come there is a strong formation here."
Fusheng smiled proudly "This is the Martial arts school, but there is indeed a spiritual formation here. It is to separate the Martial arts school from the rest of the world. Master Shi said something about it being done by the most powerful cultivators that ever existed in the Empire."
Feilong nodded "Indeed, the formation is strong, it will even take this dragon a while to break it."
As they were talking, Fusheng walked in to the formation and into the Martial arts school. Immediately she entered, she felt the entire arena freeze and felt countless eyes on her. As usual none of them were friendly, Feilong gave a soft whistle and said
"Little ancestor, you really are something, is there anywhere you go and have people genuinely like you?"
Fusheng sighed but still kept her face expressionless "I just have to deal with this while I get stronger. These people worship the strong and bully the weak. Right now I am weak, so I have to go through this ordeal everytime. They all know the story of how I fell from glory, maybe while I was at my peak, they couldn't catch up with me and could only look up to me.
But now I am lower than all of them, so it is their time to trample on me. Another reason is that some of them worked very hard to get in to this academy, while to them I only got in based on my grandfather's reputation. They felt that I am not worth it. And I have to thank my stepmother and stepfather for the lies going around about me."
Feilong shook his head in pity "Meng Little girl, you have got it hard, but then again these people are very stupid. If they feel that you are not worth attending this Academy, because you rely on your grandfather, then they should try and have a grandfather as influential as yours and see if it is easy to achieve. I hate pretentious people like this the most." He rolled his eyes.
Fusheng chuckled softly in her mind, it had been a while since someone ever felt upset for her like this.
While Fusheng and Feilong were talking, Fusheng had already walked up to the ShiZhang (head Disciple) and bowed in greeting.
A voice sounded in the distance "I was thinking this trash had given up as I didn't see her this morning."
Another one sounded "What is this trash doing here?"
Fusheng heard this clearly, but said nothing only gave a light smirk, instead it was Feilong that got very upset "Hey this is blatant bullying. Humans keep getting worse."
The ShiZhang sized Fusheng up, ignoring the voices insulting Fusheng he said with disdain at Fusheng "Why are you here at this time? Do you think that you are special? Who do you think you are?"
Fusheng raised her eyebrows and said with ease "I am Meng Fusheng, that is who I am."
There were gasps throughout the arena, nobody has ever spoken back to ShiZhang and they did not expect Fusheng to even speak back. Same could be said about the ShiZhang, he did not expect that Fusheng would actually talk back at him, he felt a surge of anger and embarrassment, he never thought that a waste like Fusheng would talk back at him.
He said "You actually spoke back at me. You.. You. You are just only Meng Fusheng, nothing else. You are a waste, a trash nothing else. If not for your name, you would not even be qualified to work here. You are a big disgrace to your Grandfather's reputation, and a disgrace to your mother and the Meng Household."
Some other voices echoed "Your grandfather must have been ashamed by you that he died in a hurry."
"Who knows if all those talk about her talents were lies cooked up by her mother to cover up her shame."
"How are you even related to the Meng Fairy? Who knows if her mother did not do anything shameless, because someone explain the difference between the two girls, like the distance between the Heaven And the Earth."
At this point Fusheng saw red, the one thing she can not tolerate is someone mentioning her grandfather and mother, and now this people did not just insult her grandfather, they also disrespected her mother. She literally was so angry that her eyesight became blurry, she had never felt this immense anger, she felt like destroying everyone, "if everyone was gone no one would disrespect her family, yes that is what she will do. Destroy, destroy… They don't know what they are saying.. I I Am not a waste. I am not a waste. Grandfather is not ashamed of Fusheng. He did not die because of Fusheng.
While this change was happening, Feilong was very panicked, Fusheng was on the verge of Qi deviation, he did not expect a little act of coming behind time to lead to these children insulting Fusheng's family, without knowing the whole truth. Which then served as an emotional trigger to Fusheng's qi deviation.
If it were only Qi deviation, Feilong would not be so panicked, but in the chaos going on in Fusheng's meridians, he found a very strong dark energy. He did not see this while repairing her meridians and did not know what it was and was not prepared for it. He also felt that the power emitted from the dark energy was too strong, not at all in the Qi Condensation Stage, in fact it felt like a Nascent Soul Stage power.
He threw caution into the wind and flew out from Fusheng's Sea of consciousness, because he had tried to call her, but she could not hear him. He materialized into the air, but the students could not see him as they did not possess any spiritual eye, but they just something weird and powerful pass by.
Feilong was a silver dragon, he could control the weather and he immediately made it cloudy and a strong wind blew.
The students could not see what was going on spiritually but they could feel something was wrong. Some of the students present although they did not approve of Fusheng, did not also approve of the insult to Fusheng's family, but they could not say anything. But immediately those words were out, they all felt something change with Fusheng, she was still standing with her head bowed and did not do anything different but they all felt that she looked scary, so scary, even the ShiZhang was scared a bit. He even regretted saying those words. Then the sky suddenly became cloudy and it looked like there was going to be a storm.
At this point while the dark energy in Fusheng's body had almost circulated through her meridians, and Feilong was ready to make it rain thunders, a person suddenly shielded Fusheng with his back and spoke to the ShiZhang in a cold voice
"You call yourself the head Disciple, yet you do not have the basic human morals. Do you not know the rule of do not strike a person when they are down. What made you think that insulting her family is the same as admonishing her."
Author's Note 🌸🌺
Oops… Lingjun did not come in this chapter, but I promise in the next one he will appear.
But then, my baby Fusheng is so pitiful, nobody knows what she has to endure all alone and now they are insulting her family.
Like why will you bully someone, it sucks really.
Why mention her late mother and grandfather, at least there should be a limit to stuff like this.
