Chapter 14: Chapter 14. Ruo Yun’s dangerous personality.

Ten minutes later, they could finally see the town. It was almost night, so some street lamps were already working. These lamps used fire and oil as fuel, but they were enough to make the whole town sufficient shine to spot it from a distance.

There weren't any tall buildings, and a not-too-tall wall surrounded it. The wall was made of solid rock and somewhat bumpy, so that it would be climbable with some skill. The main reason for this was to be able to escape without breaking it when fighting against beast tides.

This was a common sight since a town had to be able to defend against wild creatures and sometimes big groups of bandits. Even if the walls were bumpy, with the guards above them, climbing would mean suicide.

Of course, Tatyana had never seen anything remotely like this. She was completely stunned and even had her mouth opened when she saw the "town." 'How can this be called a town!? It is ten times bigger than my hometown! There are so many buildings cramped together. How do they farm vegetables without a big and wide backyard?'

Yan Shuang saw her expression shocked expression, and she wanted to make up for her previous blunder, so she said, unaware of Tatyana's thoughts. "It is quite small, right? However, it isn't small enough to call it a village, so the governor called it Redhill Town."

Tatyana's face became strange, 'Small? This enormous place is small? It has at least three kilometers from side to side! How could they call it small!?'

It was at this moment that Tatyana realized; she was very ignorant of the world outside her village. Tatyana had always thought it was a town, but now she could confidently say that she had lived in a village. She lightly smiled and answered, "So its name is Redhill Town. Thank you for telling me, big sister Shuang."

Yan Shuang smiled and nodded spiritedly, "Not a problem!"

"Ignorant country bumpkin. How could you not know the name of the town?" Ruo Yun commented from the side, her tone full of derision.

Tatyana's face froze, and she lost any expression she had had before. The others laughed awkwardly, but only Shi Ning tried to scold her somewhat. Even then, Tatyana didn't expect much since she was just a random person, 'It is normal if they don't want to offend someone from their group for me.'

With that awkward atmosphere, they entered the town's gates. Tatyana saw that the guards let them pass without stopping them and was curious. However, she didn't ask and continued walking in silence.

When they were inside, Tatyana decided to go her way. Although she thought they were trustworthy, she was somewhat scared that Ruo Yun would go further and begin messing with her. 'Since they are respected immor-, right, cultivators, they would probably not defend me against her. I'm nothing but a stranger to them, after all. I have to be careful and leave as soon as I can.'

Tatyana thought about how to go about it and decided to be blunt and respectful. She stopped walking, and when she got their attention, Tatyana bowed and said, "Thank you, respected immortals, for aiding me to reach this town. I will remember this kindness and return it in the future. However, it is time we separate and each go our ways."

Shi Ning frowned and approached Tatyana. "Why are you leaving? You don't have to! We can travel together if you want. Moreover, we could stay here until you take the test and return together to the sect."

Yan Shuang and even the other males also said the same. "That's right, Tatyana."

"We've already become quite close. Why not continue your journey with us?"

"Having a beauty like you in our group is always welcome!"

Tatyana looked at their eager and gentle faces and began swaying, 'Hmm... Was I being too paranoid? Maybe I should stay with them?'

Nevertheless, Ruo Yun's next sentence, which dripped with contempt, stopped her thoughts. "Did her pretty face charm all of you? Just some slutty red eyes and you all are rolling on her feet. She is too weak and will be a deadweight if she comes with us. Just let her-"

"Ruo Yun! You better stop speaking nonsense right now!" Shouted Shi Ning angrily.

Shi Ning was so protective of Tatyana because she had guessed that something must have happened to her. Since the moment they found her, she had this depressing aura around her, so she had tried making her feel comfortable with them and showed more care than she normally would.

However, she hadn't expected that Hao Junjie's attention toward Tatyana would make Ruo Yun so jealous that she would start attacking her. In Shi Ning's mind, Tatyana was just a child, they all could see that she was very young and awkward, but Ruo Yun kept attacking her during the whole trip without stopping.

Hao Junjie spoke with his typical gentle and attractive tone, "Don't worry, Tatyana. She is just speaking nonsense. You can come with us if you want."

However, the words were already said, and Tatyana had heard them. This reinforced her previous thoughts, 'Ruo Yun is right. I've just begun getting strong. I will be a deadweight if I follow them. It is better to go my way.'

With that in mind, Tatyana bowed again and said, "Thanks for your offers, but I rather explore the town alone. Maybe we will see each other when I'm stronger in the future. Goodbye."

Then, Tatyana turned and left. Shi Ning shouted, "Wait! Tatyana, you don't have to-."

But Tatyana didn't turn and continued walking, disappearing in the crowd.

Shi Ning stood there and frowned. Then, her sharp gaze turned toward Ruo Yun, and she said with clear anger in her tone. "So much for the "kind and benevolent" lady of the Ruo family. Getting jealous of a child, are you really 26 years old!? With her budding face and body, she must have been below 18! Why are you so aggressive toward a child!?"

Ruo Yun crossed her arms and snorted, "So what? Who is she to enter our group? Since she was completely clueless about cultivation and her position, she must have been a commoner who became a cultivator out of pure luck. "

Shi Ning sneered, "Who is she to enter our group? If you let that jealousy-clogged brain of yours function, you would have realized that she is someone that could become a cultivator before the age of eighteen! She is probably the youngest cultivator of our Luan Continent!"

Ruo Yun was still unmoved, "So what? If she doesn't have a cultivation technique, she will never be able to continue advancing. Even if she is the biggest genius, she is nothing before our families' power, resources, and influence. With one sentence, I could crush her into powder!"

Shi Ning was stunned, "Are you so jealous of her that you won't even open your eyes to a simple truth? Why?"

Ruo Yun was getting agitated and blurted out her real thoughts, forgetting that the rest of the group was still listening. "A pretty-faced slut like her aiming for brother Junjie doesn't deserve to be in our group! Since she doesn't know her place as a commoner, she is lucky I didn't decide to kill her!"

Hao Junjie's frowned and looked at Ruo Yun coldly, "I didn't know that you were so narrow-minded. Wanting to kill someone because I find them interesting? Who would dare take you as a wife like that?"

Shi Ning frowned at his comment. Meanwhile, Ruo Yun froze and looked anxiously toward Hao Junjie, "B-Brother Junjie, I-I didn't mean it like that! You know how much I lo-"

However, Hao Junjie's cut her short. "Let's go. What's done is done. We could spectate the entry trials and see if she enters the sect. At that time, she would have probably forgotten about it. Let's return to the sect first."

Ruo Yun looked at his back, walking away without giving her a single look, and something snapped. She gritted her teeth and asked with a low voice, "Did that vixen charm you, brother Junjie?"

Alarm bells rang inside Shi Ning's head, and she wanted to intervene before Hao Junjie said something wrong, but she didn't expect him to answer instantly and without thinking. "From our short interaction, I can tell she is better than you."

Shi Ning's face twisted with anger for the first time in her life. 'Does he want to kill Tatyana!?'

Out of pure anger, she basically appeared before him, and her hand rushed toward his face. Hao Junjie couldn't even see it coming!

*SLAP!*

*BANG!*

Hao Junjie was sent flying for five meters and slammed onto a wall at the side with a swollen cheek. Then, Shi Ning shouted angrily, "CHILDISH BASTARD! Apologize to Ruo Yun!"

Hao Junjie's eyes opened wide, and while holding his burning cheek, he asked, stuttering, "What are you…?"

"APOLOGIZE TO YOUR FIANCEE!"

Hao Junjie realized his blunder after Shi Ning's second shout.

He walked out of the rubble and walked toward Ruo Yun. He grabbed her hand, apologizing sincerely. "Sorry, Yun Yun, I was somewhat tired and didn't think things with a clear head. I didn't mean to tell you something like that. "

Ruo Yun was still looking down, hiding her current expression, and she said, "Don't worry, brother Junjie. I understand."

Hal Junjie hugged her and said, "I know that what I said hurt you, but it was just a momentary stump. We've been together for so long, almost since we were five years old. How could I really mean what I said? I was frustrated because that girl seemed talented, and I wanted to recruit her to be our family as a servant."

Shi Ning gritted her teeth at that comment, but she didn't speak.

Ruo Yun lifted her tear-stained face and asked, "Really?"

Hao Junjie nodded and kissed her forehead, "Why would I lie? I thought that if I made her like me, I would be able to make her follow my orders. You have been interrupting all the journey, so I was frustrated and blurted out a lie to hurt you. I will try a different approach besides becoming friends the next time, okay?"

Ruo Yun's messy heart and dangerous thoughts slowly calmed down, and she rubbed her face on his wide chest. "I understand. I'm sorry for interrupting, brother Junjie."

Hao Junjie hugged her and nodded, "Don't worry, you are my fiancee. How could I care for another woman more than for you?"

Shi Ning saw Ruo Yun's reaction and internally sighed in relief. 'Thank god she relaxed. However…'

Shi Ning looked at Hao Junjie and internally frowned, 'He is interested in little Tatyana, and now he is saying this? He really is a bastard. Why do my parents want me to marry him together with Ruo Yun? Is his Hao family getting that strong?'

Shi Ning rubbed her forehead and thought, 'Although I can't blame him for liking her. Little Tatyana is a very beautiful girl. Her facial features and those red eyes make her beauty even more Unique. Still, that lie he just told can backfire dangerously.'

Shi Ning sighed. 'Well, if she can enter our sect, it should be easier to protect her and solve these problems, especially if she gets a powerful master. The stronger and more talented she is, the less Ruo Yun can influence the elders to eliminate her. Who would want to kill a future powerhouse? I pray to the Heavens that you can do it, little Tatyana. I pray that you become so strong that no one can threaten you.'
