213: I am really scared

Gu Xiaoyue watched Bai Mofeng's actions with cold eyes. It was only when he ordered his servants to demand the IOU from her that she took a step back.

"Does a squabble between children really escalate to beating White Gaze until he's black and blue, or even sneaking into his home while he's away to cause trouble? There's a saying in the Dragon Country: if you don't discipline your own brat, plenty of others will do it for you later!"

Before her voice had even faded, her twin swords suddenly appeared in her hands.

"White Gaze hasn't awakened his Beastmaster talent yet, so I must collect the interest for him today! If you're unwilling to accept this, you can compete once they have both awakened their talents! By then, I won't interfere anymore."

Previously, her body hadn't recovered, so she had only used Wind Control to teach Bai Yao and his lackeys a small lesson. Now that her physical condition was good, wielding her twin swords would serve as a good way to stretch her muscles. After all, her twin swords hadn't tasted blood in months!

Gu Xiaoyue's aura chilled everyone to the bone, yet Bai Mofeng spoke up with a sneer. "Who knows what the future holds? Based on what you're saying, White Gaze's talent is destined to be higher than my Yao'er's?"

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he shouted angrily, "Stop this unreasonable fuss! Hand over the IOU and get lost at once!"

Gu Xiaoyue stopped engaging with him. She naturally knew that White Gaze would awaken a talent above the Heaven Tier in the future. Since Bai Mofeng refused to hand over the star coins, she didn't mind teaching him a lesson!

Hiding inside the yurt, Bai Yao muttered, "Didn't Father say earlier that if that woman came to ask for money, we should just give it to her? Why isn't he giving it to her now? She's actually quite formidable; she slapped my mouth crooked without even using her hands!"

Bai Yao touched his cheek, as if the previous slap still hurt! Bao Shenglei comforted him from the side, "The Master has always doted on you. I think this time, the Master wants to stand up for you and let that woman know that our young master of the Bai family is not to be trifled with!"

Bai Yao thought about it and felt that what he said made perfect sense. As the dignified young master of the Bai family, how could he let some woman of unknown origin bully him!

While the two were still guessing and imagining things, a burly man was kicked by Gu Xiaoyue and flew into White Gaze's yurt. "Thump—" The burly man landed directly on top of Bai Yao and Bao Shenglei, making them wail incessantly.

It wasn't that they didn't want to run; all the servants in Bai Mofeng's household had their feet trapped by grass that was growing wildly beneath them. Except for the burly man who had been kicked into Bai Yao's yurt, everyone else had their thighs slashed by Gu Xiaoyue's twin swords. In less than a minute, only Bai Mofeng was left standing; everyone else had collapsed, wailing in pain.

"I'm only here for the star coins today; I didn't intend to hurt anyone." Gu Xiaoyue parted her thin lips slightly, meeting Bai Mofeng's fierce gaze. She wasn't afraid of him; she was just stating a fact.

The curtain of another yurt not far away was lifted, and an old man with gray-white whiskers stepped out. Bai Mofeng suppressed the anger in his chest and bowed respectfully. "Elder He, please take action!"

He Jingcai walked to Bai Mofeng's side unhurriedly. He glanced at the Bai family servants strewn across the ground and felt that he had emerged at just the right time. Little did he know, Bai Mofeng had been cursing him in his heart for ages. "Damn old man, you only come out after all my people have fallen!"

He Jingcai wanted to wait until the Bai family members had fallen so that he could step in and subdue the arrogant woman, which would highlight his exceptional strength. He nodded nonchalantly and waved his hand. "The Bai family Master's affairs are my own affairs; just watch my methods!"

Gu Xiaoyue was speechless. Who gave them the courage to think that a quasi-legendary could subdue her? She put away her twin swords, the corners of her lips curling upward. Free experience points delivered to her door—why not take them!

Bai Mofeng took a few steps back, his gaze catching the strange smile on Gu Xiaoyue's face. A flash of panic crossed his heart, but it was quickly erased by his confidence in Elder He. Although He Jingcai wasn't considered a top-tier expert in Damon Country, he was a battle-hardened quasi-legendary Beastmaster. Dealing with a young girl should be a piece of cake, so why was there no fear on her face? It must be that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and she simply hadn't suffered a brutal beating yet!

"Little girl, if you hand over the IOU—" He Jingcai naturally didn't take Gu Xiaoyue seriously; he was still thinking of helping Bai Mofeng retrieve the IOU and calling it a day. Unexpectedly, before he could finish his sentence, Gu Xiaoyue struck a Thunderbolt Spell right by his feet, startling him into a jump. "Young person, you have no martial ethics, launching a sneak attack on an old—"

He Jingcai wanted to stand on the moral high ground and lecture Gu Xiaoyue a bit more, but another Thunderbolt Spell smashed down right by his feet. While pointing at Gu Xiaoyue's nose and talking about lacking martial ethics, he began drawing a summoning magic circle. Perhaps it was due to his old age, but his fingers trembled as he drew the summoning circle.

"Old man, if you have Parkinson's, you'd better stay far away, lest you get in the way of my debt collection and get splattered with blood!" Gu Xiaoyue mocked. Bai Mofeng and Bai Yao were so angry that their mouths were twisted. They were all waiting for Elder He to summon his pet beasts and capture Gu Xiaoyue to satisfy their hatred!

"You—you—" Elder He's summoning magic circle was finally completed, and a pair of sleek, glossy black tigers, a golden falcon, and a red falcon appeared beside him.

[Name]: Twin Wind Mysterious Tigers [Grade]: Heaven Tier Top Grade [Attribute]: Wind Attribute [Skills]: Wind Blade (Proficient), Wind Armor (Advanced), Wind Escape (Proficient) [Level]: Mature Nine-Stage Early Phase

[Name]: Black-Gold Falcon [Grade]: Heaven Tier Top Grade [Attribute]: Light Attribute [Skills]: Light Blade (Proficient), Light Arrow (Proficient), Light Shield (Advanced) [Level]: Mature Eight-Stage Late Phase

[Name]: Nine Heavens Flame Falcon [Grade]: Immortal Tier Mid Grade [Attribute]: Fire Attribute [Skills]: Fireball (Proficient), Fire Sea (Advanced), Fire Ring (Proficient) [Level]: Mature Six-Stage Late Phase

Gu Xiaoyue crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her head, looking at the people opposite her with some confusion. Why did she feel that after the old man summoned his pet beasts, the atmosphere on the other side became somewhat subtle? It was as if they regarded Gu Xiaoyue merely as a Beastmaster who only knew some Dragon Country martial arts, but whose pet beasts were of such a low level that she couldn't even summon them for battle.

Her expression of confusion and hesitation made He Jingcai even more smug. "Girl, now that you've seen my strength, you should know to be afraid! It's best for people to know when to advance or retreat and understand the bigger picture. Hand over the IOU quickly, and I'll mediate, and this matter will be water under the bridge! I heard your conversation earlier; children's matters should be left for them to resolve themselves. You can't stay with White Gaze forever, can you?"

After finishing his lecture, He Jingcai stroked his gray-white beard, raised his head, and glanced sideways at Gu Xiaoyue. Gu Xiaoyue sighed softly and said helplessly, "I can't stay with White Gaze forever, but I did say I would collect the interest for him today! Also, I am indeed afraid—afraid that I might slap all your pet beasts to death in one move!—"
