Chapter 303: I Am Not Like You
Wang Sheng had once grabbed Ye Cong Xin by the neck, but Ye Cong Xin did not resent him. She only felt jealous.

She was jealous that an idiot like him had the talent she dreamed of, a healthy body, and such exceptional Fortune.

She herself had nothing. Anything she wanted, she had to grab and fight for on her own.

Driven by jealousy, Wang Sheng became her next target.

During this period, Wanderer Bao Hua stayed at the Main Peak, helping Sect Master Wu Sang with Alchemy. He had no time to look after Wang Sheng, so he left him to move freely in the courtyard.

Wanderer Bao Hua had originally planned to lock Wang Sheng in the house to keep him from causing trouble outside. But for some reason, whenever Wang Sheng entered a closed, dark space, he became emotionally unstable and his mind went fuzzy.

Wanderer Bao Hua had no choice but to place him in the courtyard and only check on his condition from time to time.

Luckily, Wang Sheng was quiet and did not cause trouble. He could play happily in the courtyard by himself.

So Wanderer Bao Hua gradually relaxed his guard and focused his mind on Alchemy. That was how Ye Cong Xin found a chance to exploit.

However, Ye Cong Xin had still underestimated how hard it was to capture an idiot.

No matter how she tried to show kindness, Wang Sheng treated her as if she were air and did not even spare her a glance.

Actually, Ye Cong Xin did have ways to make Wang Sheng like her, but the key problem was that she could not enter the small courtyard, and Wang Sheng ignored her completely.

Even if she had a belly full of schemes, she had no way to use them.

Ye Cong Xin felt very helpless.

But her character had long been honed to be extremely tough by repeated brushes with death.

As long as Wang Sheng did not leave Five Elements Dao Sect, she would not give up even for a single day.

However, besides that, she still had to take good care of her current blood bag.

After leaving the guest courtyard, she turned back to Lone Moon Peak, prepared some fresh fruit and snacks, and went to visit Lan Zi Yu’s cave residence.

Ever since he lost to Quan Ye in front of everyone that time, Lan Zi Yu had been gloomy. He even went out less and shrank into his cave, refusing to leave.

Su Ming had gone to see him several times, but he had turned him away at the door. Only when Ye Cong Xin came did he not refuse, though his attitude was not very warm.

When Ye Cong Xin entered the room, she saw Lan Zi Yu sitting by the window, his expression gloomy, looking like a resentful husband locked in the inner chambers.

The expression Ye Cong Xin had worked so hard to adjust almost collapsed.

How long had it been since that spar?

Three months, or five?

The other side of that spar, Quan Ye, had already gone outside, had an adventure, and awakened the Azure Dragon bloodline, yet Lan Zi Yu was still in this room feeling sorry for himself?

[A grown man whose heart is smaller than the tip of a needle.]

At that moment, Ye Cong Xin really wanted to suck Lan Zi Yu straight into a dried corpse so she would not have to see his half-dead look anymore, which completely spoiled her appetite.

Although she was thinking this in her heart, Ye Cong Xin still forced a sweet smile onto her face.

She said: “Second Senior Brother, I saw that the Sect’s spirit fruits today were very fresh, so I specially brought some for you. Hurry and have a taste.”

As she spoke, she took the fruit out of the food box and placed it on the table.

Lan Zi Yu glanced weakly at the fresh, juicy spirit fruits on the plate and said in a faint voice: “Junior Sister, you are thoughtful.”

After that, he continued to stare out the window in a daze.

The anger Ye Cong Xin had just pushed down flared up again.

She forced herself to hold back her anger and said: “Second Senior Brother, these spirit fruits taste really good. Try some~”

Lan Zi Yu shook his head.

He went back to staring blankly.

He was like a broken clay statue.

Ye Cong Xin finally could not hold it back. She suddenly stood up and flipped over the spirit fruits on the table.

Clang.

The plate flew out and hit the wall, and the spirit fruits rolled all over the floor.

Lan Zi Yu’s dull eyes finally held a bit of life. He looked at Ye Cong Xin in shock, as if he had never expected his always gentle and sweet Junior Sister to have such a violent side.

Ye Cong Xin did not speak either. She stared at Lan Zi Yu without blinking.

[What will he say?]

[He must be really angry. He might even want to hit me, right?]

[Good, anger is good. If he is angry, that means he still has some spirit left!]

[With some adjustment, he will definitely stand up again.]

Lan Zi Yu was indeed very angry.

But his anger only lasted for a few breaths before it quickly went out.

He thought in despair that even his Junior Sister now looked down on him. Sure enough, his existence was meaningless.

He said: “Junior Sister, I am not worthy of eating your spirit fruits. Just take them away, there is no need to be angry.”

Ye Cong Xin almost could not believe her ears.

[What kind of nonsense is Lan Zi Yu saying?]

[Why is he not angry!]

[Is this still the old Lan Zi Yu whose eyes were higher than the top of his head and who saw no one in his eyes?]

She shouted: “Second Senior Brother! What is wrong with you! Do you still remember who you are? You are Lan Zi Yu! You are the Second Senior Brother of Lone Moon Peak! You are Master Qing Yan’s second personal disciple! Look at the way you are now. Where is there any trace of a Divine Transformation Cultivator, of a personal disciple? Where is your pride? Where is your backbone? Where have they all gone!”

Ye Cong Xin was anxious.

She was more anxious than Lan Zi Yu himself.

If Lan Zi Yu did not rise again, she would have no Fortune to steal.

[How could that be!]

After scolding him, she softened her tone and advised earnestly: “Second Senior Brother, I understand how you feel. You are such a proud person, losing a match must feel terrible. But there is a saying, victory and defeat are both common for those who fight. In a spar, it is normal to win some and lose some. Did I not often lose to Senior Sister Yu before? You really do not need to take it to heart and add more worries to yourself.”

Lan Zi Yu perked up a little and said: “I am not like you.”

A suitable look of confusion appeared on Ye Cong Xin’s face, while an ominous feeling rose in her heart for no reason.

Lan Zi Yu said: “When you spar with Yu Zhao, you lose nine times out of ten, so of course you do not feel anything about it. But when I sparred with Quan Ye, he never won before, yet this time… Sigh, forget it. Even if I tell you, you cannot truly understand how I feel.”

It was likely that only Yu Zhao could understand how he felt at this moment.

Ye Cong Xin could no longer smile.

[What did Lan Zi Yu mean by that?]

[What did he mean, that she lost nine times out of ten and would not feel anything?]

[Was he mocking her?]

[In the past, she lost to Yu Zhao on purpose to gain their pity!]

[That was strategy!]

[If she fought Yu Zhao in a real, proper match, it was still uncertain who would win.]

[Lan Zi Yu, you bastard!]

[She was stupid to even bother with him.]

[She should just let him rot on his own!]

After Ye Cong Xin cursed Lan Zi Yu from head to toe in her heart and felt a little better, she suddenly dropped a thunderbolt.

She said: “Senior Sister Yu has already formed her Nascent Soul. She is now a Nascent Soul Cultivator. When she returns to Five Elements Dao Sect, she will be able to open a peak and build her own residence, and have her own line.”

Ye Cong Xin watched Lan Zi Yu’s face change from pale to red, then from red to purple, and felt unspeakably happy.

That day, in order to gain Lan Zi Yu’s Favorability, she had staged a big drunken act. She had originally wanted to tie Lan Zi Yu firmly to her boat, but she had not expected to gain an earth-shattering secret instead.

Lan Zi Yu, who always disliked Yu Zhao in every way, actually secretly liked her in his heart.

Even more ridiculous, Lan Zi Yu himself had no idea and even liked to bully Yu Zhao for fun, pushing her farther and farther away.
