Chapter 31 - Lotus division

Chapter 31

         The Mortal heaven elite competition was to begin in one week. The competition would be held at the main battle arena of the inner court. Every disciple was allowed to participate, but only the top five would gain the chance to become elite disciples.

      Long feng, Yan Jian and Li yu'er returned to the sect one week before the competition. Upon returning, they headed to the missions hall. Yan Jian was surprisingly silent throughout.

      They went over to the Warden who managed the missions hall.

"Long feng pays respect to Warden" Long feng clasped his fist. Although Wardens weren't as respected as elders, they still had to be greeted.

The Warden nodded.

Yan Jian handed over a small red bag. Within the bag was the spirit root of the mutant blood ape.

The Warden checked the spirit root and nodded, then glanced at Long feng and frowned. He recognized Long feng and didn't feel good about speaking to him, so he turned to Li yu'er.

"I shall take it as you are the leader of this your team?" He asked.

Li yu'er nodded unhesitatingly.

Long feng and Yan Jian stared at her, bewildered. None of them remembered appointing her as their leader.

     The Warden nodded and handed the thirty Yin crystals over to her.

"You can leave" he dismissed.

         The three of them left the missions hall and stopped outside. Li yu'er kept the crystals on the floor. Rich Yin level martial power was being emanated from the Yin crystals!

Li yu'er took ten out of the crystals and turned to go. Long feng took ten and ran after her and Yan Jian also followed.

"Miss Li! I thought you wanted fifteen?" Long feng asked.

"It doesn't matter" Li yu'er replied.

He shrugged.

      As they arrived at Li yu'er's pavilion, they found three people waiting for her. Two women and one man.

One of the women smiled warmly and walked over to Li yu'er, throwing a weird glance at Long feng.

"Miss! It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Yu meng Hi, a vice leader of the Lotus division." She introduced herself, then pointed at the other lady "This is Shen Fei, a member of the division" she said and pointed at the man. "And this is Song Ming, also a vice leader of the Lotus division." Yu meng He introduced.

Li yu'er didn't even blink her eye. Her face was devoid of emotion or thought.

Yu meng he was placed in an awkward situation.

"You may not know our division as you are new here. The leader of our division is the fifth among the top ten inner court disciples; Lin Doutian. Our Lotus division is the fourth best within the entire inner court." She said, elevating herself out of her awkward situation, only to fall back right in.

Li yu'er was silent. Not even her breathing could be heard, as if yu meng He was speaking to someone else and not her.

    Long feng and Yan Jian couldn't help but chuckle slightly.

"Miss, we heard of your talent and we sincerely wish to invite you to join our Lotus division. We promise to protect you and aid you in cultivating faster." Yu meng He added. Her smile had disappeared, replaced by a threatening look.

Still, Li yu'er remained silent.

    Shen Fei and song Ming frowned.

"We really hope miss would reply us" Song Ming spoke up.

Finally, Li yu'er spoke. But her words were more poisonous than her silence.

"Get lost!" She said.

Yu meng he's eyes widened in shock.

"What?" Shen Fei asked to be sure.

"Get lost!" Li yu'er repeated.

Yan Jian burst out laughing

"Two words. Get, and lost, or are you deaf? Lotus division? Even the name sounds stupid" he laughed.

Yu meng He's eyes blazed.

"You will regret this. All three of you." She said and they turned around to go.

"Wait!" Long feng spoke up and walked over to them.

Yu meng he glared at him disdainfully.

"We don't deal with trash." She seemed to think he wanted to join their division.

Long feng Laughed.

"Miss meng is really funny. I only wanted to make something clear. Trust me, you don't want to get on her bad list" he warned, pointing at Li yu'er.

   Yu meng he laughed grimly.

"And who the hell is she? What can she do?" She asked.

     Long feng smiled and walked back to Yan Jian's side.

"Why did you warn them? I want Miss Li to teach them a lesson." Yan Jian asked.

Long feng grinned.

"They were about to leave so I warned them not to anger Miss Li. They won't believe that she is stronger than them, so they will taunt her and annoy her. Miss Li, on the other hand will teach them a lesson. That will be their punishment for threatening us" he replied.

Yan Jian laughed out loud.

     Just as he predicted, yu meng He began to taunt Li yu'er.

"Because your talent is good, you think you are a queen?" Yu meng He asked mockingly.

"No! Don't misunderstand her. Although she can't beat us, she probably has a boyfriend. I bet she would run to his lap and report us to him" Shen Fei added. The three of them laughed.

     Li yu'er frowned deeply.

"Let her bring whoever she wants. They will all end up crawling away. After we trash him, I bet her boyfriend wouldn't want to see her ever again" Song Ming spoke.

Yan Jian chocked due to laughing.

"I think I can see devil horns growing out of Miss Li's forehead!" He laughed.

      Li yu'er's eyes were icy.

"You've spoken enough. Get lost now that you still can!" She warned coldly.

Yu meng he and her team burst out laughing.

"This girl must be mad." Shen Fei said.

"Since she dared to reject and insult our Lotus division, we will make her life in this sect miserable" Yu meng he added.

     Suddenly, she chocked and her face paled. Li yu'er was grasping her neck! And no one apart from Long feng saw how or when she did it! Yu meng He was merely a rank eight connate cultivator. The rest were even weaker than her.

"How dare you!" Shen Fei regained her senses and charged at Li yu'er.

  Without bothering to look, Li yu'er slapped out.

PA!

     A resounding sound echoed repeatedly. Shen Fei had been slapped so hard that five bright red fingers appeared glaringly on her snow white face. Her face had swollen beyond imagination. She was flung far away by the sheer force of the slap!

Long feng and Yan Jian had to cover their mouths to stop themselves from laughing too loud.

"I don't like repeating myself!" Li yu'er spoke.

"And I also never regret anything." She added.

    Yu meng he's face was very pale. Fear filled her face. Li yu'er flung her aside and looked at Song Ming.

"I will leave on my own" Song Ming said cooly. He helped the other two to their feet. Shen Fei's eyes were blood shot as she glared at Li yu'er.

"I'll make you pay for this! You won't get away. Lin Doutian would make your life a living hell!" She screamed as they walked away. She kept shouting curses and threats until they were out of sight.
