Chapter 28: It Was Just Because of the Name Lu Jiu Que (Part 1)
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Jiu Que froze for a moment, then hurriedly put on a shy and frightened look. Then, very compliantly, she said, "I… I wasn't thinking that much… I was only thinking that I wanted to save him…"
The way Lu Jiu Que looked at this moment was the exact opposite of how she had looked earlier on when she was saving people boldly or pleading for mercy fearlessly.
For she herself to acknowledge that she had been a good person but not coerce people by making use of their kindness greatly increased the positive feelings the crowd had for her!
"Hahaha, from how I see it, this child has a firm mind and clear gaze. She's neither arrogant nor impatient. She's a good seedling indeed. It would also be good if we could take her into our Heavenly Divination Sect."
"Yes, yes, yes. What Brother Want just said is perfectly right. Shall we discuss this with Elder Li when we get back?"
"That's right! It's not a bad idea!"
…
A group of people gathered around Lu Jiu Que to shower her with compliments, their eyes clearly filled with the want to become friends.
After all, this child had shown kindness to Elder Li. After she entered the Heavenly Divination Sect, she would certainly receive exceptional care from Elder Li. She was definitely going to have an extremely bright future.
If that was the case, then nothing could beat establishing a good relationship with this child now!
This was why the crowd was speaking so kindly and looking so full of confidence.
Lu Jiu Que's eyes suddenly lit up. She was somewhat surprised as she asked, "This… Can I really enter the Heavenly Divination Sect? I don't really have great abilities…"
Someone immediately replied without paying heed to her worry, "Hey. You don't have to worry about that. You're Elder Li's benefactor. He'll definitely let you into the Heavenly Divination Sect."
"Really?" Lu Jiu Que was sneering in her heart, though she pretended to tremble slightly from excitement on the outside.
The crowd was somewhat surprised at Lu Jiu Que's reaction. Was she not a little bit too happy?
"Yes! That's right!"
"How great!"
…
Upon seeing how Lu Jiu Que was so overjoyed that she was almost on the verge of tears, Shao Qingrou became so angry that she was spitting up blood all over again.
"Pfft…"
'B*tch!'
"Pfft…"
'B*tch!'
She was clearly the one who had caused Li Ronggui to become like this and her to lose an arm! In the end, all the good things still fell upon her. Was there no justice left in their world?
Ahhh… She was so filled with hatred. How she wished she could die right then and become a ferocious ghost. Then she could strangle Lu Jiu Que, this shameless little b*tch, and send her to meet her maker!
Finally, Shao Qingrou, who had sustained severe injuries physically and was overcome with anger internally, could no longer bear the constant provoking. Her eyes went blank as she fainted while still coughing blood.
"Ah… Sister Shao!" Lu Jiu Que exclaimed in surprise. It was only then that the crowd remembered that Shao Qingrou was still present.
"Quick, the blood-clotting pill!"
"The healing pill, too!"
…
The crowd fed Shao Qingrou a bunch of pills, and everyone only heaved sighs of relief after they were certain that they didn't have to worry about her life being in danger.
Then someone suddenly thought of something and asked, "My good child, what's your name?"
Lu Jiu Que smiled bashfully and said, "I… My name is Lu Jiu Que."
"What?! The Lu family's Lu Jiu Que?"
Everyone exclaimed at the same time. The faces that were covered in smiles just a moment earlier were immediately overcast with gloominess.
Lu Jiu Que went on with her ploy and said in surprise, "That's right, do you all know me? Huh…"
Know her?!
How could they have possibly not known such a famous jinx, a mega-worthless piece of trash? They would have been the weird ones if they had no idea who she was!
At this time, everyone was looking at Lu Jiu Que with expressions that carried deep mockery, ridicule, disdain, and disgust…
The atmosphere was rewritten in a flash. All of this was just because they had heard that her name was "Lu Jiu Que."
And yet, outwardly, Lu Jiu Que didn't seem to detect the abhorrence the crowd felt towards her. With a smile, she said, "So when can I report to the Heavenly Divination Sect?"
Report? A worthless piece of trash like her, and she was still thinking of reporting to the Heavenly Divination Sect?
What a joke!
If news got out and people out there knew that they, the Heavenly Divination Sect, had accepted such a worthless piece of trash, would they still be able to hold their heads up around other sects in the future?
