Test-Chapter 14: The Least Malicious

Chapter 14: The Least Malicious

Shen Family, Library Pavilion.

Shen Yan took out her token and showed it to the middle-aged man guarding the door.

The middle-aged man recognized Shen Yan as well, but it was his first time seeing her so normal. She gave off an aloof feeling. Her pitch-black, bright eyes seemed able to see through a person’s heart, making him unconsciously shudder.

Shen Yan asked plainly, “Finished checking? I’m going in.”

The middle-aged man snapped back to reality. Just as he was about to speak, several young boys and girls arrived behind Shen Yan.

A boy with a nasty smile said, “Yo, isn’t this Shen Yan? You haven’t come back for days. Could it be you were fooling around with some wild man?”

“Hahaha…” This group of disciples burst into loud laughter.

“She’s an idiot, how could she understand what you’re saying?” another boy said.

“Speaking of which, what is an idiot doing at the Library Pavilion?”

Because she returned yesterday, to protect Shen Xue’s reputation, the Patriarch of the Shen Family and the Elders had sealed the news about what happened in the main hall. As a result, many people in the Shen Family still didn’t know Shen Yan had regained her senses, let alone know she had obtained permission to enter the Library Pavilion for a month.

Shen Yan turned around, coldly looking at the few of them.

They felt a chill under her gaze. “What are you looking at us for?”

Shen Yan’s tone was calm and even, without any fluctuation. “Insult me one more time, and I’ll tear your mouths apart.”

Hearing this, they froze momentarily, then exchanged glances and couldn’t help but burst into snorting laughter.

“She actually said she’ll tear our mouths apart? That’s hilarious!”

A disciple with a mean-looking face walked closer, sneering mockingly, “Did the courage come from that man you were messing around with outside? Waste…”

“Ahhh!”

No one saw when Shen Yan made her move. Both her hands grabbed the disciple’s mouth at the same time, and then she yanked hard. In an instant, a scream rang out. Slight tears appeared at the corners of that disciple’s mouth, dripping with blood.

Finally, Shen Yan suddenly forced his body lower, then raised her knee and slammed it fiercely into his chest.

Thud!

The disciple’s face twisted in agony as he let out a pained howl.

Immediately after, Shen Yan clenched her fist and punched his cheek heavily, again and again, until he was knocked unconscious.

Shen Yan let go of him.

The disciple immediately flopped to the ground like a lump of mud.

The whole process was too fast!

It took no more than ten seconds from start to finish.

“!!!” The surrounding Shen Family members were shocked speechless, their eyes wide and mouths agape.

How did this waste, Shen Yan, possess such speed?!

Even the two guards by her side were stunned by the scene just now.

Shen Yan pulled a handkerchief from her sleeve and slowly wiped the blood from her hands while looking at them unhurriedly. “Insult me one more time, and your mouths will be torn just like his.”

After saying that, she ignored everyone’s complex and shocked gazes. She turned and walked straight towards the middle-aged man guarding the Library Pavilion. She took out the access token again and said plainly, “The Patriarch of the Shen Family gave me permission to enter the Library Pavilion for a month.”

Hearing this, the people present also came back to their senses.

Permission for a month?!

How was that possible?

Even disciples who had made great contributions to the Shen Family couldn’t get permission to enter the Library Pavilion for a month, let alone a useless waste like Shen Yan?!

And also, why didn’t Shen Yan seem foolish anymore?

In an instant, the disciples exploded. They protested indignantly, “Shen Yan, what gives you the right to have permission to enter the Library Pavilion for a month?”

Shen Yan turned her head to look at them and said coldly, “Just go ask the Patriarch. He’s the one who gave me the permission.”

That shut them up completely.

Who dared to go ask the Patriarch?

“Shen Yan, you’re not stupid anymore?” a disciple asked, eyes wide.

Shen Yan sneered mockingly, “Yes, not stupid anymore. Dare to insult me again, and I’ll tear your mouths apart. Whoever dares to bully me again, I’ll be able to clearly and logically tell the whole process to my Father.”

Hearing this, their expressions changed dramatically.

They didn’t fear Shen Yan, but they feared the Young Master!

In the past, Shen Yan was dim-witted and foolish. Even if she was insulted or bullied, she was in a muddled state. She couldn’t distinguish kindness from malice at all, and couldn’t even complain to Shen Tianhao.

And when they looked again at the disciple who had been punched unconscious and had his mouth corners torn, they couldn’t help but frown.

The corners of that disciple’s mouth were truly split open, a bloody mess.

A young girl saw this and couldn’t bear it, saying, “Shen Yan, you are so malicious!”

Shen Yan’s tone was cool. “Yes, and you are the least malicious. Where were you when they were bullying and insulting me?”

The girl was choked for words, her face flushed bright red.

Shen Yan didn’t want to bother with them anymore. After showing the token to the middle-aged man, she stepped into the Library Pavilion.

After her figure completely disappeared, everyone gradually began to react.

“How is Shen Yan not stupid anymore?”

“Quick, call a Physician! Shen Xi’s mouth is torn open!”

A group of disciples panicked.

…

Meanwhile, a Shadow Guard reported this matter to the Patriarch of the Shen Family.

Upon hearing it, the Patriarch’s expression was dark and unclear, and he asked somewhat incredulously for confirmation, “You’re saying Shen Yan, with her bare hands, beat a disciple of the third level of the Yellow Grade Realm unconscious, and even tore his mouth?”

The Shadow Guard bowed his head respectfully and replied, “Yes, Patriarch. The Second Young Miss also took less than ten seconds.”

The Patriarch’s wrinkled and furrowed face twitched slightly. He was silent for a moment, then just sighed deeply. “What a pity…”

Shen Yan was a waste with no Spiritual Energy at all.

Even if her moves were fast and her attacks powerful, if she faced a stronger opponent, she would be completely immobilized, unable to resist at all.

That was reality.

A person with no Spiritual Energy had absolutely no future.

“Keep watching her.”

“What about the matter of the Second Young Miss injuring someone…”

“Consider it a lesson for that loose-tongued disciple,” the Patriarch of Shen Family said slowly. After all, he feared that punishing Shen Yan might cause Tianhao to rebel and do something irreversible.

“Yes, Patriarch!”

The Shadow Guard withdrew.

Soon, a piece of news reached the Patriarch’s ears: the Qiutian Sect was about to hold a competition within the Lingyan Forest, and young disciples from nearly ten countries would sign up to participate.

Qiutian Sect!

That was the Qiutian Sect, a mid-to-upper-tier power in the Pingze Western Region. It was impossible not to yearn for it.

If they could form a connection with the Qiutian Sect, their Shen Family would not only gain great fame but also have a powerful backer.

The Patriarch of the Shen Family was ecstatic in his heart. He decided to have all the outstanding younger generation of the Shen Family participate! Especially Xue’er!

Xue’er would surely bring glory to their Shen Family!

And this news gradually spread throughout the Nangxiao Kingdom, stirring up quite a storm.

The younger generation was eagerly awaiting it and preparing to take part in the competition.

…

Meanwhile, Shen Yan had entered the Shen Family’s Library Pavilion. It had three floors in total. Only the first and second floors were open to all disciples. No one could enter the third floor without the Patriarch’s personal permission.
