Chapter 23


    : A Different Weapon


    After Sima You Yue closed the door, she heard Little Roar yelling at her from within the Spirit Pearl,


    mouring toe out. With a thought, Little Roar appeared in front of her.


    "What''s the matter?" She hugged him and ruffled his furry his long ears and asked gently.


    "Yue Yue, you really want to challenge that white lotus?" Little Roar asked.


    "Yes, why not? Since people specially came to provoke me, tell me, can I retreat?"


    Sima You Yue threw Little Roar into the air as he leaped in a beautiful crescent arc and when he


    saw he was going to hit the wall, he swiftly twisted his body and flew back to see her searching for


    something within her interspatial ring. "What are you looking for?"


    "Weapons! I need to find a weapon for this challenge. In the ring that cheap dad left me had only a


    pathetic selection of weapons.


    "You want weapons? I saw a lot over at Little Spirits'' ce!" Little Roar reported.


    "Oh really? Let''s go have a look then!" With a thought, they both entered the Spirit Pearl once


    again.


    As soon as they entered, Little Spirit appeared before them. "Come with me" he calmly said as he


    turned and led the way. It seems he knew the reason for her arrival.


    "This is the former former''s Master''s weapon refinement collection. Little Spirit brought them to a


    room filled with a wide variety of weapons.


    "How many former masters did you have?" After listening to Little Spirit''s words, she could not hold


    back her curiosity and asked.


    "There''s only those few." Little Spirit disappeared right after.


    Sima You Yue had a good look at the weapons and found that the majorityprised of Holy


    armaments. Sprawled across the wall were all grand and majestic weapons, however looking for an


    inconspicuous low profile weapon was rather hard.


    After going through almost all the weapons, she finally found a little dagger at the far corner of the


    room. She picked it up and flipped it about on her hand and felt the weight and finally said: "It''s


    settled, this would be it."


    After Sima You Yue left the room, Little Spirit appeared and took a nce and when he saw the


    empty spot at the far corner of the room where the dagger used to be, he was surprised. "She


    actually chose that weapon and it did not resist. To think that all the former Masters did not manage


    to gain it''s acknowledgment, yet , a girl who has just embarked on the path to cultivation had


    managed gain it''s approval


    Or could it be that her future would be a long and arduous path threaded with obstacles?


    When Sima You Yue took the dagger out and removed it from the sheath, she was dumbfounded.


    "Hahaha"


    Little Roar wasughing hysterically sprawled on the ground, holding his stomach and wiping a tear


    off.


    "Yue Yue, you chose for such a long time and in the end, out of all the fine weapons in there, you


    actually picked out a rusty dagger?!"


    Sima You Yue stared helplessly at the dagger in her hands. Although it felt alright in her hands but


    when she unsheathed it, other than the handle being wrapped by leather, the entire de was


    covered in ayer of rust. How was she going to use this for the challenge?


    At this time, a male student had ran to their courtyard and hollered out: "Sima You Yue! Miss Meng


    has asked me to remind you that the challenge is starting soon, if you are not going for it, its best to


    start packing your things and scram!"

    After saying what he needed to, he turned and left. Although Meng Ting was not afraid of her


    Grandfather, that didnt mean the others felt the same, if they were caught by Sima You Yue, their


    future would be bleak.


    When Sima You Yue heard the message, she sighed and said: "Now I dont even have time to polish


    it, we''ll just use what we have then. Although it doesnt look nice, it still fits well in my hands."


    Little Roar threw her a look of contempt: "Any other weapon would be better than that?"


    "What do you know. A weapon and a person must resonate, if I simply pick any weapon, at a critical


    juncture, it might just drag me down." She mumbled and sheathed the dagger and continued to


    argue in defence: "Also, for some weapons, in the hands of different people, a different power may


    be unleashed."


    She blinked for a moment as she stared at the dagger. For a moment there, she thought it moved


    on its own. Hmm, it must have been an illusion.


    "Well, thats what you said thest time as well. But since then, youve still not found a weapon that


    you''re happy with." Little Roarined.


    He looked at the dagger with disdain. In her past life, she had never found a suitable weapon and


    she was always searching for that one weapon. Now, in her present life, how did she end up with


    such a dpidated weapon?


    Looking at the reality before him, his heart felt cold.


    Sima You Yue saw the expression on Little Roar and felt three ck lines at the back of her head.


    What was this expression? Did he despise her weapon, or her? And whats with the sullen


    expression and the feeling of sadness that was welling up within her?


    "Do you want to go back?" She asked.


    "No! I want to stay outside and see you trash that white lotus with my own eyes! Ive not seen you


    for such a long time! I dont wanna go back!" He shook his head vehemently.


    "Alright then, lets go." She tucked the dagger safely on her waist belt and carried Little Roar out.


    As the whole world knows, she couldnt cultivate. She couldnt put the dagger in the interspatial ring


    now. Not yet.


    When she heard the neighbouring door open, Bei Gong Tang nced out her window and shook


    her head before she continued reading the book in her hand.


    "You Yue."


    Sima You Yue stopped in her tracks, she had just stepped out of the courtyard and she heard Wei


    Zi Qi call out from behind.


    "Zi Qi, something?"


    "Nothing." He shook his head. "Ill apany you to the stage, no matter what the results are, its


    better you have someone apany you there."


    As they walked towards the stage, it attracted the attention of many as people started pointing at


    them and talking in hushed tones.


    "I thought he had already been expelled, didnt think that he was hiding amongst the freshmen."


    "Who do you think his Grandfather is? If he wants to stay in the Academy, all they need is a word


    from him."


    "Really shameless, this kind of person can only rely on their background, its too unfair!"


    "I heard that Meng Ting challenged him to a fight, if he loses, he will leave the Academy and never


    take a step back!"


    "They should quickly let him go, if such people stay on, wouldnt it just tarnish the reputation of our


    esteemed Imperial Academy?"


    "I also heard that if he won, he wanted Meng Ting to avoid him and make a detour if she ever ran


    into him."


    "He really knows how to dream. I heard Miss Meng''s temper isnt very good, this time he provoked


    her, I wonder how miserable would he be on stageter?"


    "That Meng Ting has already achieved reaching the level of a fifth gradeSpirit Warrior at a young


    age, although the level isnt very high, its enough to deal with a waste."


    "Yeah! Cant wait to see him get thrown out of the Academy gates!"


    ".."


    Sima You Yue and Wei Zi Qi were walking past and these careless whispers and insults were just


    thoughtlessly being thrown out, thinking that they couldnt hear them well.


    However, each word was heard clearly and Wei Zi Qi flushed red with anger. But when he saw that


    Sima You Yue walked on leisurely as if he heard nothing, Wei Zi Qi could only hold it in and walked


    alongside.


    "Arent you angry?" Wei Zi Qi asked through his gritted teeth.


    "Whats there to be angry about? Those dogs that bite are the quiet ones. These barking dogs only


    know how to make noise. The best way to shut them up is using strength to speak!"


    "Challenge stage? This should be it." Sima You Yue read out loud in the words that were hung on


    the signboard above.


    Before she had even stepped inside, she could already hear the noise spilling out here from inside.


    Seems like Meng Ting had gathered quite a number of people to watch the battle!


    ps: white lotus in this instance means more like a derogatory term, something along the lines of a


    flower vase.
