437 Chapter 437 “A Bet“
"What? Join you guys?" Li Shi Ying didn't expect for Zhan Jiouli to suddenly rope her to his side. What is this guy thinking by inviting her to his group?
"Yes, you are also a translator like us so it would be good if you can join our group." Zhan Jiouli nodded his head as he looked straight into Li Shi Ying eyes trying to convince her.
Li Shi Ying went silent on seeing Zhan Jioulis eyes on her. Somehow she got a feeling that this wasn't as simple as joining a translator group. Just what are these two planning to do?
She didn't know what plan these guys had concocted for her but her intuition told her not to agree to the invitation presented by these two. It just screamed suspicion.
"Sorry, I know next to nothing about your group, so I prefer to remain alone." Li Shi Ying straightforwardly refused Zhan Jioulis offer. She didnt need to know about their schemes to give out a refusal.
She didn't know that these two worked under Long Ao Zhens enemy, that crown prince from the Feng Kingdom but her gut feeling alone told her that she must never become a part of them no matter what happened.
"Hmm...its a pity but I really want you to join us..." Hearing Li Shi Yings cold refusal, Xiu Mei showed off her white lotus b*tch skill right on the spot with tears suddenly flowing out from her eyes making her look like a bullied princess.
Seeing their idol cry because of a measly little girl like Li Shi Ying, the students around the battle ring went insane.
"Hey, you veiled girl, how dare you refuse the gracious offer of our saintess? You even made her cry!" One of the fanatic fans of Xie Mei shouted at Li Shi Ying scaring her out of her wits.
It was as if a domino effect began with the shout of that Xiu Mei fanatic. All the other students, especially the male students began to curse Li Shi Ying and urged her to accept Xiu Meis and Zhan Jioulis offer despite knowing that the girl they were pestering was a translator.
These students didn't care whether Li Shi Ying was also a translator like Zhan Jiouli. What they cared about more was only about their idol, Xiu Mei.
The students of Dong Xi Academy indeed didn't see translator as something awesome, unlike the older generation outside the academy.
They had met 2 translators so far in their academy so meeting the third one wouldn't be that weird anymore. It would just mean they have more people to suck up to.
"No guys don't pester her, I am alright...I just want...to be friends with her but if she doesn't want to..." Once again squeezing out crocodile tears from her doll-like eyes, Xiu Mei acted like a kind saintess that only wanted to be friends with Li Shi Ying.
The words that poured out of Xiu Mei sounded so sincere and kind that served to actually make the male students became even angrier. Their idol was so pure and kind but that veiled girl went as far as 'bullying' their idol.
Seeing that the male students had already become agitated like a battle ready soldier and might pounce upon her to devour her with just a single sneeze from Xiu Mei, Li Shi Ying really had to praise Xiu Mei for her acting skills. At this time she really looked like a weak and fragile white lotus.
"I didn't say I don't want to be your friend, I just can't join you guys because I don't know what kind of group I will join so yeah..." Maintaining her smile, Li Shi Ying slowly walked back from the battle ring, began to step down, intending to escape from this damned crocodile swamp.
This was a pointless battle. Judging from the battle like situation, these guys would continue to pester her until she agreed to join their side. Like hell she would want to join them when she didn't even know what kind of group they are and what they represented.
Li Shi Ying was already descending among stairs, about to reach the ground when suddenly Zhan Jiouli appeared in front of her using his 'speed' talisman. She was almost scared to death upon witnessing him appear in front of her as if he teleported.
SWOOSH!
"Well well you can not just go like that," Zhan Jiouli raised his eyebrows looking like a fierce predator when he blocked Li Shi Yings escape path.
"Ugh why not I am not obligated to agree with what you guys offered." Li Shi Ying did feel a little bit intimidated by this eagle-eyed senior but she pretended to be tough.
With a little eye roll, Li Shi Ying expressed her annoyed feeling. She was really annoyed. Just why did these people think that whatever they wanted the others had to comply?
"I won't force you but since we want you to join us so much how about we make a bet? Only the strong have the rights to do whatever they want so why don't we have a battle?"
Looking handsome like usual, added with that sharp glare, Zhan Jiouli suddenly dropped a bomb to our clueless bunny.
...What? A bet? battle? what is this guy talking about?
"It's not a difficult battle. You and I will just do a duel using our power as a 2nd type translator. No using cultivation energy and other martial arts techniques. How is it? If you win you are free to refuse our offer but if I win...you have to join us"
Zhan Jiouli aside from wanting to rope in Li Shi Ying he was also curious about her skill so challenging her for a duel sounded like a good idea to him.
Good idea your ass! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
