Heretic Doctor Useless Consort - Chapter 26
Chapter 26
“Elder Sister has quite a lot of treasures on her. However, according to the rules of the convention, I’m afraid she can’t use external items. Elder Sister, look…” Su Lianhua could also tell that Ye Qianli’s actions were not ordinary. However, she did not have Grand Secretary Bai’s observation skills. She thought that Ye Qianli had borrowed external help.
According to the rules of the prodigy convention, participants could only use their own strength on the Vermilion Bird Platform. Once they borrowed the power of other external forces such as weapons, they would be eliminated immediately.
However, when Ye Qianli heard that, she looked at the self-righteous Su Lianhua with a gaze like she was caring for someone who was mentally retarded. The latter felt provoked by this gaze of hers.
“Miss Su, the Vermilion Bird Platform will judge for itself whether Miss Ye used external help or not. There’s no need for you to worry.” As soon as Luo Xingping saw that Su Lianhua’s expression wasn’t right, he already took the initiative to explain to her rather kindly.
“…” However, Su Lianhua was still embarrassed. It was still awkward! Furthermore… wait. Since she was not borrowing external forces, then how could Ye Qianli step onto the stage so elegantly?
“Miss Su…” Luo Xingping saw that Su Lianhua was still standing there motionlessly after he had finished explaining the rules. Now, it was his turn to be embarrassed, all right? Didn’t she know the rules? Why was she still foolishly standing on the stage and not moving? She should get off the stage!
“Thank you for your explanation, Lord Luo. I’ve been in the Northern Region all year round, but I didn’t know that the Vermilion Bird Platform had such a magical quality. In that case, please guide Hua’er, Elder Sister,” said Su Lianhua instead.
Uh…
This time, Luo Xingping was really embarrassed!
“That’s right, they can just fight right away. There’s no need to give this useless person any time to show off. Besides, Miss Su will definitely accept the challenge!”
“That’s right, that’s right. Stop wasting time. Let Miss Su beat this shameless sc*m off the Vermilion Bird Platform immediately. Don’t let her sully the Vermilion Bird Platform.”
“Hit her! Hit her! Hit—”
When the watching masses heard that, they did not know that Su Lianhua actually did not understand the rules of being the Arena Lord. They simply thought that she was not taking Ye Qianli seriously so they started to cheer one after another.
In any case, they were not the least bit interested in having a useless person show off her strength! Even if her movement up to the stage seemed rather smooth—compared to Miss Su, it was like comparing fish eyes to pearls. They were on completely different levels.
“Silence!”
Luo Xingping saw that the situation was a little chaotic and had no choice but to shout out sternly. At the same time, he said bluntly, “Miss Su, as the Arena Lord, it is true that any person who comes onto the stage after you will become the challenger by default. However, they will also have to display their strength first before you decide whether to accept the challenge or not.”
“I must remind you sternly that, as an Arena Lord, you have no right to change the rules of the competition. Moreover, if you do not accept the contender’s challenge, it will be considered that you have given up on the competition. You will have no right to participate in any of the following matches. Now, please step down from the stage and wait.”
He had already made it so clear. Su Lianhua wasn’t a real retard as well so she naturally understood what he said. Hence, she had to leave the stage for real this time! She was extremely embarrassed, and her face nearly turned all red.
However, she—Su Lianhua—was a capable person after all. She quickly recollected herself and apologized, “I’m sorry, Lord Luo. I’m not very familiar with the rules of being the Arena Lord. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of everyone. Elder Sister, please don’t mind me. I’ll come up again later to ask for your guidance.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Lianhua’s figure blurred, and she was in a hurry to leave this awkward scene. However, she did not manage to leave because an invisible pressure had locked onto her.
“Hold on.” Accompanying this pressure was Ye Qianli’s voice.
Su Lianhua’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Ye Qianli in confusion and asked, “What can I do for you, Elder Sister?”
“Don’t call me Elder Sister. You don’t deserve it,” Ye Qianli said. This was what she had always wanted to say. Every time she heard Su Lianhua call her these two words—’Elder Sister’, she would feel nauseous.
“Elder Sis—”
“I said, don’t call me that.” Ye Qianli’s voice lowered slightly, and a small cluster of flames had already flickered into her pair of glass-like eyes as she looked at Su Lianhua.
“Su Qin is not my mother, and you are not my younger cousin. Please remember this forever. Also, for everyone present in this day and age, please remember that I, Ye Qianli, have nothing to do with Ye Fengtian and Su Qin.”
Ye Qianli enunciated each and every word clearly. Before anyone could react, she raised her hand and ignited a cluster of flames in her palm! A cluster of brilliant and astonishingly bright flames.
“My will is like this fire! It will accompany me for life and will never be extinguished,” Ye Qianli said slowly. She had already flipped her hand over. In a split second, a prairie fire rapidly spread out in all directions with her as the center.
Swoosh!
The Vermilion Bird Platform was burning with wondrous flames, and those flames burned to a height of 10 meters! Within 10 miles of the Vermilion Bird Platform, it was all covered with strands of open flames! This was a true fire! Many people could clearly feel that the heat of this fire was so high. So hot and so real.
However…
Luo Xingping and Su Lianhua were still on the Vermilion Bird Platform because they were not able to get off the stage in time. Although they were engulfed by thousands of flames, they were not burned at all.
“Nine Mystical Extraordinary Fire!”
Grand Secretary, Lord Bai, slapped his thigh and stood up. He was completely stunned. This was the Nine Mystical Extraordinary Fire talent cultivator whom he had been looking for! It was actually her, the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Residence, Ye Qianli!
“This…”
Ye Fengtian was also stunned, but his face was deathly pale! Ye Qianli’s words had been spoken so clearly just now. She, Ye Qianli, had nothing to do with him, Ye Fengtian, and Su Qin.
“So, don’t call me Elder Sister. You are not worthy at all. You were not worthy in the past, and you are even less worthy now.” Ye Qianli looked at Su Lianhua, who was completely dumbfounded, and emphasized every word again.
You were not worthy in the past, and you are even less worthy now!
These words were like a curse that smashed into Su Lianhua’s mind, causing her face to turn pale. Not only that, but her excitement, smugness, and ambition were also ruthlessly shattered.
Buzz.
Meanwhile, Ye Qianli—who had finished speaking—had already channeled all the flames on the stage back into her body as she wished. The high temperature in the entire venue also dissipated as if it had never appeared before.
“This…”
“This… That…”
The onlookers were also dumbfounded. This was because there had been too much information to absorb from the reveal of this skill from Ye Qianli! Their brains simply could not comprehend it quickly.
Didn’t they say that the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye family was crippled? Furthermore, the results of the diagnosis of the imperial hospital’s physician, Lord Jiang, were very authoritative! There shouldn’t be any misdiagnosis.
Didn’t they say that the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye family had low morals? She was discovered for having an affair with the guards and was even kicked out of the family? However… Eldest Young Lady Ye was a talent cultivator!
As a talent cultivator, why would she have an affair with a guard? How could she fancy an insignificant and lowly guard? How blind would she have to be? Besides… Which family would be that brainless as to kick a talent out of their house?
“I’m sorry, but I need to borrow the Vermilion Bird Platform to clarify this. After all, there are always people who think that I’m joking when I talk about it elsewhere.” In the time it took Ye Qianli to withdraw her move and stand straight, she even gave an explanation.
However, at this moment, everyone’s thoughts were no longer on her, but behind her! No, it should be said that they were beyond the Vermilion Bird’s secondary stage.
Screech—
