Chapter 31: Chapter 31: “Congratulations, you’ve passed my assessment”

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

With one hand holding onto her lame leg, Zi Ling was frantically rushing towards Ye Qing Luo’s courtyard, stumbling with every few steps.

On her face was a look of panic, her steps were messy and the way she ran was as if running for her life.

The moment she saw Zi Ling, Ye Qing Luo’s expression changed.

Ever since that day Zi Ling was given the mission, she had never appeared in front of Ye Qing Luo.

She had thought that Zi Ling was afraid of getting blood on her hands and had long fled Three Springs.

“Miss….” Zi Ling was pale and trembling.

She rushed to the front of Ye Qing Luo and was just about to say something when she saw Ye Feng Yu standing to one side. She quickly stopped and greeted, “Eighth Young Master.”

Ye Qing Luo casually cast her glance to her side and looked at Ye Feng Yu and waved her hands dismissively, “Don’t worry, if there’s anything, just say it.”

Zi Ling looked hesitantly at Ye Feng Yu and twisted her sleeves, feeling apprehensive.

In the end, she couldn’t withstand the pressure in her heart, tears started welling up in her eyes.

She felt her legs go soft and she crumbled to the ground. She grabbed Ye Qing Luo’s skirt as she started to confess: “Miss…I…I’ve killed Aunt Zhang….”

Zi Ling was only in her young teens, around thirteen or fourteen years old. Killing someone for the first time had a deep impact on her young and fragile mind as she felt completely lost.

Ye Qing Luo was slightly startled by her confession.

She narrowed her eyes and her gaze towards Zi Ling was a little more profound.

It seems that this girl, Zi Ling was really loyal to her.

In order to stay by her side, she had suppressed her own fears and killed someone for her.

She was now lacking someone by her side whom she could trust.

If Zi Ling was properly cultivated, she would definitely be a great help in the future.

“Very good.” A beautiful smile blossomed on Ye Qing Luo’s face. She slowly bent down and reached out to Zi Ling. “Zi Ling, you’ve done very well. Congratulations, you’ve passed through my assessment.”

The fair hands seemed to be glowing under the sunlight.

Zi Ling’s eyes reddened as tears started to fall.

“Zi Ling, in this world, if you want to live, you must get rid of everything that threatens your life. But before all that, you have to make yourself stronger.”

Ye Qing Luo looked at Zi Ling who was sobbing on the floor. “If you want to stay by my side, Aunt Zhang is just a start.”

Zi Ling trembled and sucked in a deep breath. ‘M..Miss..”

This meant that she had to kill more in the future?

“Think about it properly yourself.” Ye Qing Luo lowered her finger and brought it to Zi Ling’s eyes and wiped off the tears.

Zi Ling stared at Ye Qing Luo blankly and she stopped crying.

It took awhile for Zi Ling to compose herself and finally reached out to Ye Qing Luo’s hand.

“Ling’er’s life was saved by Miss. Ling’er has always remembered your life saving grace. Ling’er’s life belongs to Young Miss!”

Zi Ling stood up with the help of Ye Qing Luo.

“What Young Miss said is right! If Aunt Zhang did not die, it would be us who died instead. I want to protect Young Miss! I want Young Miss to live well!”

This was a different world. Survival of the fittest where the strong prevailed and the weak were trampled on.

They had been soft hearted and had been bullied countless times before. This time round, the bullying got too far and they had almost lost their lives.

If they continued on their blind ways and kept on being passive, the other party would definitely try time and time again to aggressively trample on them.

Ye Qing Luo straightened her back and a determined glint flashed by her eyes.

“Remember, to return evil with good is a virtue, that’s humanity. However… to seek revenge for the smallest grievance, is what I live by.”

She, Ye Qing Luo, would eventually stand at the top amongst the strongest!

She will trample on all those that had once looked down and insulted her!

Zi Ling and Ye Feng Yu were taken by surprise.

At this moment, they had completely felt the change in Ye Qing Luo.

This was…the Ye Qing Luo who would move their world!
