117: Chapter 117 Lin Xiaoyu

"Lin Xiaoyu, have you considered it yet? As long as you join our Jiang Family, with our Jiang Family's support, you will grow up very quickly."

At the entrance of Jiangbei City Third Martial Arts High School, Jiang Mingyue and a few young girls blocked Lin Xiaoyu's path.

She was in the same class as Lin Xiaoyu. Originally, she was the eldest Young Miss of the Jiang Family, high and mighty, while Lin Xiaoyu was just an orphan from the slums.

But everything changed a few months ago. Lin Xiaoyu's brother suddenly rose to prominence, becoming the school's number one, and she herself awakened a rare A-Grade Talent, becoming the school's golden child.

Although she herself had awakened a B-Grade Talent, compared to an A-Grade, it was like heaven and earth.

Inviting Lin Xiaoyu to join the Jiang Family was a task given to her by the elders of the clan.

Having been rejected time and time again, she was gradually losing patience.

"I'm sorry, I've already said that I won't join any faction. You should stop wasting your thoughts on me."

Lin Xiaoyu shook her head with a firm look in her eyes, refusing again.

Before her brother left, he had given her stern instructions not to join the Jiang Family, and it was best not to join any other Family's invitations either.

Although she didn't know why her brother didn't want her to join a Family faction, she still kept his words in her heart.

Moreover, her brother would send her money every month, so she had no shortage of resources to Cultivate.

"Lin Xiaoyu, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Our Jiang Family is a top-tier second-rate Family in Jiangbei, and we even have a Martial Marquis Old Ancestor sitting in charge. Inviting you to join is doing you a favor."

"Don't think that just because you have an A-Grade Talent you are very impressive. Only a Genius who can actually grow up is a real Genius; if you are dead, you are nothing."

Jiang Mingyue stared at Lin Xiaoyu with a gloomy Face, threatening her.

"Exactly. The Jiang Family looking upon you is giving you Face, so don't be ungrateful."

"That's right, you are just an orphan. Without anyone to protect you, what does it matter if you have an A-Grade Talent? You won't even know how you died one day."

"Why don't you kneel down and apologize to Young Miss Jiang? It is your good fortune that Young Miss Jiang looks upon you, don't be so ignorant of what's good for you."

The few sycophant girls behind Jiang Mingyue also stood up one after another to accuse and threaten Lin Xiaoyu.

Lin Xiaoyu's Face flushed red, and her knuckles turned white as she clenched her fists. She bit her lip, holding back tears from falling.

"My brother is at Modu Martial Arts University. If you dare to touch me, he won't let you off."

Lin Xiaoyu raised her head to look at Jiang Mingyue, her eyes full of stubbornness.

Jiang Mingyue was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then she laughed, laughing very mockingly.

"Your brother? That Lin Fan? What kind of thing is he? A piece of trash with a D-Rank Talent, he will never be able to Breakthrough to a Martial General in his entire life. You are using such trash to threaten me? It's simply ridiculous."

"Exactly, he just had good luck, ate some Heaven And Earth Treasure to Breakthrough to a Martial Master, and was favored by Martial Emperor Xue. Otherwise, how could he possibly enter Modu Martial Arts University?"

A girl beside her also sneered in disdain and said.

"You... you are talking nonsense, my brother is not trash. He called me and told me that he has already reached the Martial Ancestor level."

Lin Xiaoyu was flushed with anger, pointing her trembling finger at Jiang Mingyue and the others as she shouted.

They could say anything about her, but she would not allow others to speak ill of her brother.

If it weren't for her brother relying on each other for survival since childhood, she would have died long ago.

"Hahaha... Martial Ancestor? Did you all hear that? She said her brother Lin Fan, that piece of trash, has reached the Martial Ancestor level?"

Jiang Mingyue laughed until she was doubled over, and the followers behind her also roared with laughter.

"Exactly, a piece of trash with a D-Rank Talent, and he broke through from Martial Master to Martial Ancestor in just a few months? Lin Xiaoyu, have you gone crazy, or have we?"

"Haha... Lin Xiaoyu, you don't even draft your lies. Even those SS-Grade Geniuses couldn't break through from Martial Master to Martial Ancestor in a few months, does your brother deserve to?"

"Haha... Exactly, Lin Xiaoyu, you are a toad yawning, such a big breath."

Jiang Mingyue and the others laughed heartily, as if they had heard a very funny joke.

Lin Xiaoyu was trembling with anger and was about to retort when a lazy voice came from behind her.

"Oh? Is it very funny?"

The voice was not loud but clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Who is the blind one who dares to interfere in my, Jiang Mingyue's, business?"

Jiang Mingyue's Face sank upon hearing this, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the voice.

She saw a young man at the alley entrance with his hands in his pockets, walking over slowly, with a stunning silver-haired woman following behind him.

When they saw that figure clearly, the expressions of Jiang Mingyue and the women beside her changed.

Han Ming, the true Genius of Jiangbei Base City.

He was even a direct descendant of the Magic City Han Family. Compared to the Han Family, their Jiang Family was nothing.

"Han... Big Brother Han Ming?"

When Lin Xiaoyu saw Han Ming, her eyes instantly turned red, like a child who had found a backer.

Han Ming walked over and patted her shoulder, then looked at Jiang Mingyue, the culprit who caused Lin Fan's Rebirth in his previous life, and said with interest: "What was so funny just now? Tell me and let me hear it too!"

"Young Master Han, I am Jiang Mingyue of the Jiang Family. This is a matter between me and Lin Xiaoyu, I hope you will not interfere."

Jiang Mingyue's Face was ugly; she hadn't expected Han Ming to appear at this time and intend to stand up for Lin Xiaoyu.

But as the eldest Young Miss of the Jiang Family and a prominent figure at Jiangbei Third Martial Arts High School, she couldn't let go of her Face for a moment.

She tried to bring up the Jiang Family, hoping that Han Ming would not interfere in today's matter for the sake of the Jiang Family's Face.

But she overestimated herself and the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family was nothing in front of Han Ming; if he didn't want to leave the Jiang Family for Lin Fan to take revenge on, he could wipe them out with a wave of his hand.

"Oh? Are you teaching me how to do things? Or are you using the Jiang Family to threaten me?"

Han Ming narrowed his eyes, looking at Jiang Mingyue with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"No... I wouldn't dare. I, what I meant was, Young Master Han doesn't need to make things difficult for our Jiang Family because of Lin Xiaoyu, an orphan."

"If, if Young Master Han likes women, I... I can do it too. I am no worse than Lin Xiaoyu."

Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Han Ming, Jiang Mingyue's Face turned pale with fear, and she hurriedly explained.

At the end, she even gave Han Ming a flirtatious look, pretending to be shy.

"Slap!"

"You want to be my Young Master's woman, do you even deserve it?"

Before Han Ming could speak, Ji Lingyue suddenly appeared in front of her and slapped her away, saying coldly.

"Hiss..."

The onlookers gasped.

It was too fast, they hadn't even seen how that silver-haired woman made her move, and Jiang Mingyue had already been sent flying.

The few sycophant girls beside her were trembling with fear, their Faces deathly pale. They usually threw their weight around following Jiang Mingyue, but when they actually encountered a tough character, they didn't even dare to let out a fart.

"You... you dare to hit me?"

Jiang Mingyue struggled to sit up, covering her Face, looking at Ji Lingyue in disbelief.

She had been pampered since childhood as the legitimate daughter of the Jiang Family; when had anyone ever touched a finger on her?

Ji Lingyue didn't even look at her, returning behind Han Ming, becoming that gentle and obedient maid again.

If she hadn't been afraid of ruining her master's plans, she could have slapped this woman into a blood mist.

"Go back and tell your Jiang Family, Lin Xiaoyu is my little sister. If you dare to trouble her again in the future, your Jiang Family won't need to exist. Get lost!"

Han Ming walked over and looked down at Jiang Mingyue, saying indisputably.

"Yes... I will remember."

Jiang Mingyue's Face turned blue and white, her teeth clenched, but she didn't dare to refute a single word of Han Ming's.

The Han Family now had a Martial Venerable powerhouse in charge, and countless first-rate families in Jiangbei were rushing to curry favor with them.

If the Han Family wanted to destroy their Jiang Family, they wouldn't even need to do it themselves; just by letting out a word, plenty of people would cause the Jiang Family to die without a burial place just to curry favor with the Han Family.

After speaking, she didn't even care about those sycophants, covering her cheek and running away in a disheveled manner.

"And you few, why aren't you getting lost yet? Do you want me to invite you?"

Han Ming looked at the few trembling girls and said lightly.

"Yes, yes, yes, we are getting lost right now!"

Upon hearing this, the few people felt as if they had been granted amnesty and fled towards the school.

Even Jiang Mingyue didn't dare to bare her fangs in front of Han Ming, so they were nothing.
