SHOCKING VENOMOUS CONSORT: FRIVOLOUS MISS
26. Falling Into the Trap

...🌮🌮🌮...

Qin Xiruo grinned as her hand drew closer to Ling Chuxi's face. But the next moment, the visual of Ling Chuxi's face in her line of sight was obscured by her own blood spark! With a shout, Qin Xiruo flew backwards until she crashed into the wall violently.

He had been exposed to the wind power generated by one's palm. Qin Xiruo coughed a mouthful of blood and struggled to stand for the longest without being able to lift himself off the ground.

Ling Chuxi lethargicly raised her hand to the back of her head and leaned the crown of her head against the back of her intertwined fingers as she observed this scene with a cold smile. Little White lifted her head from Ling Chuxi's shoulder and lightly rubbed her cheek. Ling Chuxi saw that Little White was trying to comfort her, so she reached out to stroke the fox's head to show that she was fine.

"Enough!" thundering angry voices laden with humiliation and disappointment. The owner of this voice was the same person who had produced wind power against Qin Xiruo, and that was First Elder Qin!

Qin Xiruo flinched as her attention jolted back to reality. He watched his surroundings and his heart fell into the depths of the dark hole. Panic, terror, and mistrust appeared within him all at once.

When were they surrounded by so many people?!

First, Second, and Third Elders Qin were present, as were First, Second, and Fifth Elders Ling! There were even some disciples present from both families, including Qin Yumei. Qin Xiruo's wild eyes met Qin Yumei's sharp gaze filled with an unseen hatred that made him able to skin her alive and break all her bones. Clearly, he had heard every word. Everyone here has heard every word!

What the hell is going on? Qin Xiruo looked at all the familiar faces around him in horror. Each face emitted an expression of anger, disappointment, shock, or hatred towards him. The only common thread present in all the gazes thrown at him was contempt and scorn. Qin Xiruo does not understand ... The alley was empty before! He had checked several times before and after he had insulted Ling Chuxi so viciously. He had made sure to check and he was sure there was no one around!

However, so many people are present now. When did they arrive?

"Xiruo, you really let us down." Elder Qin's face was filled with distress, disappointment, and a hint of shame. He felt as if the Qin clan was losing face because Qin Xiruo was showing her true color in front of so many people from the Ling clan.

"I hope you can give us an explanation of your behavior and what really happened to your arm." First Elder Ling spoke calmly. However, anyone could detect the lingering anger behind his calm demeanor.

“This girl is very young but she is already very evil. Our chuxi was actually made to suffer at his hands. Let me tell you all these Qin parents — never think of trying to let this slide. Wasn't Qin Yumei also guilty? If these girls are not properly punished for all the pain they inflicted on the Ling clan, you better believe I will remember this a little!” roar Fifth Elder Ling. Recalling his famous temperament, Fifth Elder Ling did not care about any pleasantries and instead shouted out what was on his mind while furiously rolling up his sleeves. His thick face and neck were beet red in color and he looked as if he was going to fight with the Qin clan.

“Do not worry, do not worry. We will definitely punish them harshly,” First Elder Qin said with a smile apologizing. The other Qin members present felt greatly demoralized by this blow to their family's reputation.

Normally, First Elder Ling would reprimand Fifth Elder Ling in anger, but he did not say a word today. Currently, the Ling clan could use a portion of Fifth Elder Ling's temperament to resolve the matter with the Qin clan.

Second Elder Ling walked over to Ling Chuxi and exhaled all the guilt she endured. “Chuxi small, you have suffered in silence all this time. I apologize once again for not being able to protect you enough.” His voice was so embarrassed.

“No problem. Like I said, it's my turn to take care of you from now on.” Ling Chuxi comforted Second Elder Ling with kind words and a bright smile, making her overjoyed. He reached out to pat Ling Chuxi's head affectionately, but Little White who was perched on Ling Chuxi's shoulder, flicked her hand possessively. Second Elder Ling's mouth twitched but he smiled as he withdrew his hand.

Qin Xiruo's face was deathly pale and his body was limp like a lump of mud. He lay still while the Qin clan tied him up tightly.

"Take him away!" First Elder Qin's command while sighing as he waved his hand. His people began to move Qin Xiruo.

Before he left, Qin Xiruo turned to look at Ling Chuxi with extremely spiteful eyes. From beginning to end, he was unable to understand how things had become like this.

Ling Chuxi met his ferocious gaze without any trepidation and smiled indifferently. He knew that right now, Qin Xiruo hated him so much. But, so what? If he has the ability to bite her, let him! If he dared, even his teeth would be crushed.

Everything that happened today was in accordance with the plan set in motion by Ling Chuxi. He maintained communication with the Ling Elders and instructed them to lure the Qin Elders to the designated meeting location by informing them that there would be a show to see. Then, as soon as he met Qin Xiruo, he secretly sprinkled the Ghost Mushroom powder for him to inhale. This caused Qin Xiruo to look at the illusion of an empty alley and think there was no one else around. The only unexpected factor in today's events was Ling Xiaoting. Ling Chuxi did not plan to meet him and for Qin Xiruo to see them speak. However, it works for the best. This coincidental factor became the trigger for Qin Xiruo's angry outburst. Ling Xiaoting's arrogance finally helped his plan.

“Do not worry, Chuxi. We will definitely ask the Qin clan to give us an explanation on the matter. Go and participate in the entrance examination of White Stone Academy peacefully. Don't be bothered by this.” After all the Qin clan left, First Elder Ling brought Ling Chuxi aside to advise him. He was worried that Ling Chuxi would be affected by this matter with the Qin clan and would not be able to shine during the entrance examination, thus jeopardizing his chance to attend the White Stone Academy. And how embarrassing it is.

“I know this well. Rest assured, First Elder,” Ling Chuxi said with a firm nod. He was going to leave for White Stone City tomorrow and would not be able to watch Qin Xiruo accept his punishment. First Elder Ling eased his worries first.

As far as Ling Chuxi was concerned, Qin Xiruo had received the greatest possible punishment. The kind and gentle image he had created so meticulously was completely shattered. From now on, wherever he went, Qin Xiruo would be the object of contempt and rejection. The contrast will make him feel dead better than alive. To take revenge against another is not to kill in one blow. No. gabe. Revenge takes away what a person cares about most. Now, that's really revenge. It should make those charged feel that dying is better than living.

Ling Chuxi slept well that night. But not Little White. The little white fox lying on his pillow suddenly stood up and looked out the window, then jumped off the bed with a light leap and disappeared.

The night air is cool and calm. The tall and upright figure disappeared in an instant piercing through the darkness. Only a mane of long silvered hair that swept across the starry sky in a dazzling manner remained visible for a moment longer.

...🌮🌮🌮...

The next morning, Ling Chuxi extended her hand to hug Little White as usual. He pulled the fox from the side of his pillow into his arms. Just as he was about to go back to sleep for a while longer, he heard Aunt Wang knock on his door loudly.

“Nona, wake! Mr Yichen is already here waiting for you!” Aunt Wang knocked on the door hard once again. She knew her Miss had a habit of lazing around in bed in the morning and was afraid she would go back to sleep if she didn't make a fuss. It will be fine on another day, but today is a very important day. Ling Chuxi had to rush to White Stone City to take the entrance examination of White Stone Academy!
