Chapter 343: The‌ ‌orphaned‌ ‌girl‌ ‌of‌ ‌Fog‌ ‌Isle‌ ‌(3)‌ ‌

Unedited (temp)This girl is an orphan.

Both her parents used to be my students, as well as people who gave their lives for Fog Isle.

Their daughter drifted to some unknown world, just as she finally managed to find her way back here, she was framed by someone and could’ve lost her life.

An orphaned girl without anyone to rely on is currently awaiting judgement on her life and death.

After staying silent for a while, Lord Bloodcloak spoke up: “You’re innocent, Su Xue Er”

“Thank you, Sentinel”

“Is there anything else you want to say about what happened today?” Lord Bloodcloak asked.

It’s here.

I’ve been waiting for this moment!

Su Xue Er bit her lip, seemingly a bit hesitant.

“Can I… ask a small question?” she spoke.

“Of course, you can ask anything you want” Lord Bloodcloak was exceptionally forgiving today.

“Thank you sir” Su Xue Er very carefully said.

This is my only chance at retaliation, I have to seize it.

I’m a person too.

A living, breathing person.

I want to live here peacefully.

The rest of you don’t have the right to treat me like this.

I’m not easy to mess with.

If anyone else wants to take my life…

“For the sake of fairness, I hope the Sentinel will search their person as well” Su Xue Er spoke.

“That is “ Lord Bloodcloak answered.

The blood sprites came from the air, circled around the girls and dropped a few random items on the ground.

Within the items was also a small booklet.

Lord Bloodcloak took up the booklet and opened it.

“Ahahahahahaha!”

He burst into laughter.

I was almost fooled into killing my student’s daughter.

“Gurus, have a careful look”

Lord Bloodcloak tossed the booklet out.

The booklet circled around the statues before landing on the ground.

“Heresy!”

The groups of statues once again spoke in a low voice.

“No! We don’t have such a booklet!”

“We were definitely framed!”

“Gurus, I truly don’t know anything about this, this isn’t mine!”

The girls screamed in fear.

Studying heretical techniques is punishable by death.

Suddenly, one of the girls burst out crying: “I was wrong, I was jealous that she learnt things so quick, that she arrived here alive. I thought that she was an orphan so bullying her was fine, I didn’t know it would be this way!”

Following her, the other girls also started crying.

They know very well the consequences of studying heretical techniques.

This was what they had prepared for her.

At this moment, they were finally able to realize just exactly what they tried to do to another person.

Lord Bloodcloak asked: “Gurus, what do you think?”

The group of statues stayed silent for a while, then answered: “Your judgement is final”

The Lord thought for a bit, then asked Su Xue Er: “Then what do you think?”

Su Xue Er looked at the girls.

The girls all knelt down at her feet, crying while begging for forgiveness.

Su Xue Er glanced at the booklet lying in the dirt.

——-that was the booklet Gu Qing Shan gave her, the real one.

Caught in a desperate situation, she couldn’t help but use it to frame another, to get a tiny hope of living for herself.

But now, small sparks were already gathered on the booklet, quickly bursting into flames and burnt it to ash.

She could almost hear Gu Qing Shan’s words.

“…the booklet contains a method of cultivation, this is really important, make sure to train with it”

“Train well and quickly become stronger, the world of the future isn’t too bright, at least you’ll have a way to protect yourself”

“Do your best!”

Su Xue Er stared blankly.

She has lost that booklet forever.

“Sentinel, does my opinion matter?” she asked.

“You are the victim, so of course it is” Lord Bloodcloak answered.

The girls’ cries became even louder.

They were desperately pleading to Su Xue Er.

Su Xue Er softly muttered: “Studying heretical techniques, lying to the Guru, I think the punishment was being fed to the Abyssal spiders”

“Then that it shall be” Lord Bloodcloak nodded.

He waves his hand.

A few silvery white threads dropped from the ceiling down.

Both their girls and their cries were covered by the threads.

Colorful giant spiders descended from above.

These spiders extended their front legs and started to roll their threads, turning the girls into mummies.

The group of spiders brought the mummies with them up to the ceiling, satisfied as they headed outside.

“The trial is finished, you can return, Su Xue Er” Lord Bloodcloak said.

He thought for a bit, then added: “I remember in this exam, the most talented of the candidates should be you, as well as those spiders’ food”

“They are no longer here, but you still can’t relax just yet, keep doing your best” the skeleton sincerely advised her.

He then out a scroll into the void of space.

The scroll disappeared, then reappeared in front of Su Xue Er.

“Sir, this is?” Su Xue Er was a bit suspicious.

“For you”

Su Xue Er then smiled and bowed: “Thank you, sir Sentinel”

“There is no need to, your parents were my Disciples, yet I couldn’t give you any help, instead almost sentenced you to death for being framed, this is a little bit of compensation from me” Lord Bloodcloak told her.

Su Xue Er didn’t look at the scroll and only accepted it.

“A scroll will help me greatly so I won’t reject it, but if I grow in the future, I will definitely not forget your favor today” she spoke very sincerely.

At the time someone arrives at Fog Isle, before their awakening, everyone is powerless.

Unless stolen from someone else or gifted by a Guru, there is absolutely no way to gain power.

This gift of a scroll will definitely help Su Xue Er greatly.

Not only did she accept it, she could even say such a thing.

Lord Bloodcloak was a bit surprised, but also glad.

This girl’s actions are pure, her words are not at all fake, and she also knows to repay a favor.

A good girl indeed.

“Are you confident with the qualifications test?” Lord Bloodcloak asked her.

Different from the black robe woman from before, he was truly worried about her.

“I am not” Su Xue Er answered.

Lord Bloodcloak smiled and replied: “You managed to arrive at the Fog Isle alive, fate itself favors you, there is no need to worry”

Su Xue Er was a bit hesitant, but spoke her mind: “I had to use a tool to make it to Fog Isle alive”

She continued: “Truthfully, I myself don’t have the talent to make it to Fog Isle alive”

“Because of that, I’m not confident at all with the test”

Hearing that, Lord Bloodcloak was a bit unexpected.

He could tell that her words are from the heart.

His student’s daughter, an orphan, was spilling her heart out to him.

How many years has it been since someone dares to get so close to myself?

After a moment of silence, Lord Bloodcloak finally spoke: “Su Xue Er, I will tell you a certain truth”

“Please do, sir”

“If fate didn’t favor you, no matter what tools you used, you would’ve have made it to Fog Isle”

“Do you believe that there aren’t any monsters in the air?”

“For the last hundred years, you are the only person to slip through the cracks, at the only moment that no monsters took any notice to fly into Fog Isle”

Su Xue Er was stunned.

Is that really so?

I had given up my original fate and used that card to travel to this world.

And the results?

I was teleported to the Ocean of corpses.

Almost got eaten by the monster in the sea.

Once I reached Fog Isle, the other Disciple candidates hated me, isolated me, avoided by everyone.

Guru Isa wanted to take my life.

This was being favored by fate?

It doesn’t seem like it at all.

But a person of Lord Bloodcloak’s standing wouldn’t lie about such a thing.

Su Xue Er was a bit hesitant.

Lord Bloodcloak noticed her eyes and understood.

He continued: “No matter who it is, as soon as they came into the World of the Fog Isle, their fate would have already been changed”

“Being dead or alive both comes from the desire in your heart, together with the resistance and call of fate”

“No matter what type of tool you had relied on, it is a gift to you from fate itself, otherwise fate would have destroyed it”

Su Xue Er carefully listened to him and nodded.

Perhaps feeling that he had said too much, Lord Bloodcloak waved his hand: “Step down and prepare for your upcoming tests”

“I will, thank you Sentinel, thank you Gurus”

Su Xue Er bowed to etiquette and slowly back down.

She slowed her feet, calmly leaving the House of Law.

After she left.

All the tall statues suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The only person left in the House of Law was Lord Bloodcloak sitting on his throne.

After staying silent for a while, Lord Bloodcloak muttered to himself: “She did not die, yet she manages to attain the presence of a new life, what a fortunate soul”

Su Xue Er headed back to her quarters.

The top three Disciple candidates who passed the test have a certain privilege.

They can freely choose their Guru, instead of being chosen by a Guru.

This makes the first three positions highly sought after by everyone.

They would do everything to get it.

And herself, being the first person in over a hundred years to reach Fog Isle while still alive, she’s one of the most likely people to reach the top 3.

Naturally, she became the center of attention.

So the girls tried to think of ways to deal with her.

Cold shoulders, isolation, and even physical threat.

Finally, during the time she was heading for the library, the girls somehow managed to get a male Disciple to notice her.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the male Disciple was hurrying to his class, who knows what would’ve happened to her.

Fortunately, she wasn’t one to sit and wait for her own death.

Now, the main schemers will definitely die.

They had their own plan used against them and was eliminated.

Perhaps today, or tomorrow at dawn, the Abyssal spiders will eat them.

——so this is how good it feels to get revenge.

Su Xue Er’s lips slowly curved into a smile.
