Chapter 100 - The Target Of Gossip

Little Chu was happy that Bai Rouyun had found a friend, but he was still unsure about this woman’s personality, so he decided to keep her under strict observation.

He was unwilling to make Bai Rouyun unhappy, but he was also reluctant to leave any risks by his madam’s side.

But seeing the genuine and sincere smile on Bai Rouyun’s lips, he was quite relaxed. She had been bullied for so many years; it was time for her to find a friend.

As they sat down in the dining room, they saw the table full of food. There were many dishes, both light and heavy, and Qin Huiling, who had been starving, was drooling at the sight.

Bai Rouyun could not help but grin. She too was hungry, the day had been busy, and while she had not participated in the trials, she had been observing everything.

"Please sit," Bai Rouyun gestured for Qin Huiling to sit, and then she sat down herself. She picked up her chopsticks and began eating the delicious dishes, and seeing her eat; Qin Huiling could not hold back either. Her mouth was swimming in saliva, and she tasted the many dishes.

The taste was so heavenly that both Bai Rouyun and Qin Huiling released a sigh of pleasure.

Little Chu smiled when he saw their satisfaction, and he could not help but shake his head. Although he was alert when it came to Qin Huiling, he was not hostile. She had done nothing to harm them, so Little Chu was not against her yet.

After dinner, Little Chu, Bai Rouyun, and Qin Huiling returned to their rooms, and they began cultivating.

While Qin Huiling and Bai Rouyun quickly entered the cultivation state, Little Chu stayed alert and observed Qin Huiling, but she was extremely polite and careful.

Little Chu was impressed by Qin Huiling’s behavior. She was very calm and did not try to integrate herself into Bai Rouyun’s mind; she was polite and friendly, but not over the top.

Bai Rouyun cultivated her Primal Chaos Technique all night. Her cultivation base did not increase by much, but she felt much more refreshed when she woke up the following morning.

The next day, they once more left their rooms and went back to the dining room to eat the breakfast.

Little Chu had ordered the kitchen to prepare a delicious breakfast, and they had many kinds of congee, deep-fried breadsticks, and steamed buns.

Qin Huiling was once again drooling in happiness. She had thought that she would starve and have problems with somewhere to stay, but Bai Rouyun had appeared like a guardian angel to protect her.

Qin Huiling was a very happy young lady, and she had been taught to repay friendliness with gratitude, so since Bai Rouyun was so friendly towards her, Qin Huiling was etching the kindness into her heart.

The two of them went together to the trial grounds again, where they saw that everyone had started to look at Bai Rouyun with curious gazes.

At first, Bai Rouyun and Qin Huiling had not thought that anything was wrong, but after a bit of time, they could not overlook the people who were staring at them without disguising their gloating looks.

"It seems that we have become the main topic of everyone’s gossip," Bai Rouyun said, as a smile hung on her lips. She did not have to overthink to know that the ones who were behind the spreading of gossips had to come from the Richu Empire.

As to what exactly they had said about Bai Rouyun, she did not know yet, but she could guess that someone would come up to her soon and take the time to explain.

Bai Rouyun was not in a hurry. She did not care what the majority of the people thought about her, and she knew that the ones who mattered were not going to believe just anything.

She glanced at Qin Huiling and felt that this gossip had come at the perfect time.

Although she liked Qin Huiling, she was still unsure if she could trust her completely, so she needed to see her reaction when the entire world turned against her.

Qin Huiling was stunned when she saw the many people looking at Bai Rouyun with a lot of suggestive, curious, and disdainful eyes.

Her lips tightened, and her fists balled. She was not happy; she was actually furious.

"Sister Rouyun, are you not mad?" She asked, her voice trembled from anger, but when she looked at the relaxed smile on Bai Rouyun’s face, she was shocked.

How could she be so calm and collected when everyone was gossiping about her.

Bai Rouyun smiled slightly and looked at Qin Huiling. She was curious about her reaction, but all she could see was that she was indignant on behalf of Bai Rouyun.

Bai Rouyun felt her heart soften, and a warm stream of happiness streamed into herself.

It seemed that she had seen the right person; Qin Huiling was truly genuine towards her.

"There is no reason to be angry," Bai Rouyun said with a smile as she looked around. "Don’t you find this interesting?" she asked.

"Interesting?" Qin Huiling was frowning. How could it be interesting to turn into the subject of everyone’s ridicule?

"Don’t you think that it is interesting how human life works?" Bai Rouyun smiled at Qin Huiling, her entire demeanor was calm and collected, but she seemed as if she had a lot of fun with what was happening around her.

Qin Huiling looked at Bai Rouyun exasperated, but then she could not help but snort and laugh. Bai Rouyun was surely different from any other person she had ever encountered. She was like a bright light shining in the darkness.
