Chapter 16: Why Don’t You Go Steal It
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
"…..Fourth Sister, when you visited my courtyard yesterday, I happened to be asleep. Sadly, my maid Cai Wei lacked manners and didn't properly serve you, so you generously taught my personal maid a lesson. Unfortunately in the process, you accidentally broke some antiques given to me from my father. That's why you wrote this IOU...."
When the the crowd heard this, they started chattering once again.
"This Fourth Miss, isn't she too arrogant? Taking the opportunity when her elder sister is asleep to steal her things. Not mentioning the fact that she was hitting her servant….."
"Tsk, tsk. Arrogance and despotism, she sure doesn't lack either of them! Whomever marries her in the future will be cursing their eight future lives!"
"This Third Miss is just too pitiful...."
Bai Ruo Yan was at her wits end. Due to her anger, she could not control herself and directly lash out with her whip as she shouted: "Venomous slandering! You, shut your mouth for me!"
Hopping lightly to the side, Huang Yue Li clutched her stomach and exclaimed: "Fourth Sister, this one really did not speak groundlessly. At the time, there were many people on the busy street who saw that you did not wear...."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
Stomping her foot furiously, Bai Ruo Yan released all the rage within her. She could no longer pay attention to her surroundings as she directly charged forward to attack.
"Bai Ruo Li, shut your mouth! If you dare say even one extra word, you will be looking for death!"
When everyone present saw this, who couldn't understand the hidden meaning?
Bai Ruo Yan who didn't allow Huang Yue Li to speak, clearly held a guilty heart.
"Are these the teachings of Valiant Martial Manor? Not returning her debts you can barely forgive, but to insult her cousin like that...."
"It truly makes one unable to watch any further!"
In an instant, everyone began to despise both Bai Ruo Yan and Valiant Martial Manor.
Bai Ruo Yan was red, it seemed as if her face was boiling. Yet she was unable to doing anything towards Huang Yue Li.
At that time, Huang Yue Li spoke up: "It's okay. Fourth Sister, since you do not want me to speak, then I will not continue speaking. We are all one family, is there a need for you to use your whip?"
"Humph! Who is your family? Fortunately you still know how to be afraid. If you dare to speak nonsense again, then watch how I'll deal with you!"
When Bai Ruo Yan saw Huang Yue Li biting her lower lip, she was fooled into thinking that she was afraid. This caused Bai Ruo Yang to smile smugly.
However, she didn't possess enough face to remain lingering any longer. Leaving that harsh remark, she wanted to turn and leave.
"Fourth Sister, wait a moment….."
Hastily, Huang Yue Li called out: "That IOU....."
The sparkling white piece of paper once again fluttered in front of Bai Ruo Yan.
This time, Bai Ruo Yan did not dare to deny it further. In front of so many present, if Huang Yue Li were to say anything more...
Touching her pocket, she threw out a pouch filled with silver.
"Consider yourself fierce! Take it!"
Catching the pouch, Huang Yue Li poured out the contents. Under Bai Ruo Yan's murderous gaze, she began to count them. Finishing, she threw out two words: "Not enough!"
Eyes practically popping out, Bai Ruo Yan asked: "What did you say?"
Blinking her eyes innocently, Huang Yue Li replied: "Fourth Sister, this IOU clearly states that you owe me one thousand two hundred silvers. Why did you only give me one hundred twenty silvers?"
"One thousand two hundred? Why don't you just steal them??"
"But, that's what is stated on the IOU right? If you do not want to admit it, I can go find a witness….."
"Enough!"
Biting down on her lip, Bai Ruo Yan interrupted her. All the while, her hands were trembling non-stop.
One thousand two hundred, this definitely wasn't a small number.
Even she, a stately young miss, only received fifty silvers from her monthly allowance.

Coincidentally, she did have one thousand two hundred silvers on her today.
These silvers were something that she obtained after using an entire year of coaxing from Valiant Martial Manor's Bai Liu Jing.
In the new year, it would be the time when the seven great martial academies begin to recruit new disciples. With Bai Ruo Yan's second grade talent, as well being at the fourth level of the Profound Qi Realm and her young age, she was considered quite outstanding.
If she was able to enter one the seven great martial academies, regardless of her strength and status, they would both be elevated greatly.
That was the reason why she wanted to obtain one thousand and two hundred silvers. She was hoping to find a suitable armament in Thousand Treasure Pavilion to increase her overall strength. So when the time comes, she would be able to reveal outstanding results.
If it weren't for the fact that she desperately wanted to find one, she would not have left the house so early after her embarrassment.
But who would have thought that before the silvers even had a chance to warm up in her pocket, she met this malicious star, Huang Yue Li!
Would she really need to give the money to her?
Bai Ruo Yan could feel her heart bleeding away!
But, if news of her affair on the street were to be revealed and if Huang Yue Li were to find a witness, then her innocence and reputation will be all gone!
Even if she did successfully pass the exam and enter the top ranking school, the Heavenly Body School, she would never be able to marry into an elite family!
Huang Yue Li was presently, watching quite leisurely.
After struggling for some time with a face like someone was slicing at her heart, Bai Ruo Yan finally took a large bag out.
"This is one thousand two hundred silvers! We will exchange the money and the IOU at the same time!"
Huang Yue Li wasn't unreasonable. After obtaining her money in both hands, she straightforwardly took out the IOU and handed it over to Bai Ruo Yan.
"Fourth Sister, you must be careful. Please be very cautious and ensure that no one obtains it to swindle money from you!"
Chuckling, she gave the bag of money a good look, "It really is one thousand two hundred silvers. Its weight sure isn't light! Truly befitting of the Manor Master's daughter, so different from me his niece. One thousand two hundred ah, giving it out so easily. I will have to ask Fourth Sister to continue to take care of me in the future!"
Under her barrage of taunts, Bai Ruo Yan was really at her limit. Eyes darkening, she narrowly avoided faintly on site.
"Fourth Young Miss!" The maid that accompanied her, hurriedly rushed up to support her.
Bai Ruo Yan couldn't stay any longer. Flicking her sleeves in anger, she turned and promptly left.
The surrounding crowd swiftly followed suite and scattered.
In a day's time, the events of the Valiant Martial Manor bullying the sole daughter of the missing elder brother, swiftly travelled throughout the entire capital. This resulted the reputation of the inhabitants of the Valiant Martial Manor to sweep the floor, reaching rock bottom.
After obtaining her one thousand two hundred silvers, Huang Yue Li began to purchase all necessary items she needed.
This was the first time that Shopkeeper Sun saw the Third Young Miss ever come to Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Who knows what this good-for-nothing person wanted to buy.
Afterall, the majority of Thousand Treasure Pavilion's merchandise were armaments and pills. These clearly were catered specifically for cultivators.
Filled with curiosity, Shopkeeper Sun followed behind Huang Yue Li.
"Third Miss Bai, I please ask you what you want to purchase?"
Casually, Huang Yue Li pointed to the most ordinary armament furnace on the shelf.
"That furnace, I will need your help to deliver it to the side courtyard at Valiant Martial Manor."
Normally, armament furnaces were the height of two people, and weigh more than several hundred jin. So naturally they provided delivery along with purchases.
Shopkeeper was momentarily stunned: "This...Young Miss Bai, do you know what this is used for?"
"Isn't it just a armament furnace?" Huang Yue Li looked at him strangely.
This was also one that was of a bad quality with an irrational composition which was likely to affect and spoil the end quality of the product.
Shopkeeper Sun responded: "Then what you do you want to buy this for? You should know that this armament furnace is something that Armament Masters use to make armaments. If ordinary people where to buy, it would have no use whatsoever!"
