Chapter 812: People are Worth Less than Clothes

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

The Wan Jian House, to Ling Xian, was the same as his home. Though he didn’t spend much time here, he still felt like he belonged here.

Yet right before his eyes, a scumbag was roaming inside his home. Why wouldn’t he be furious?

To minimize the problem, the examiner was painting the Wan Jian House a bad picture. But to speak bluntly, he was stopping the Wan Jian House’s growth.

Not only was this girl a genius, even if she was just an ordinary mortal, but she also cannot be treated that way.

Therefore, Ling Xian decided to show his face in order to find justice for the girl and to get rid of the scum inside the Wan Jian House.

After feeling her body lifting off the ground, the young girl’s face turned white. She felt somewhat shocked and somewhat fearsome.

Luckily, this fear didn’t last long before she arrived at her destination.

Then, she heard a warm statement that made her feel safe.

“You don’t need to say anything. Just leave it to me.”

Ling Xian smiled warmly. Then, his smile turned emotionless. He shifted his gaze towards the empty field before him and saw several long lines. All of the cultivators were not old in age and they all appeared anxious.

It was obvious that these were the cultivators who were attending the test.

Before them, two men in black were in charge of the signup. Their faces carried much impatience.

Other than these people, the one who stood out the most was a middle-aged man who was wearing an expensive-looking gown.

His expression was unfocused and he squinted his eyes as he laid on top of a rocking chair. His casual posture made it look like he was in charge of this place and he wasn’t here for the test.

This made Ling Xian squint. He didn’t like this person. As someone with a role in the Wan Jian House, not only was he not doing what he was supposed to for the tests, he was here to relax and chill. Who would like this?

“He was the one who hit you?”

Ling Xian softly asked. After the girl gently nodded, Ling Xian marched forward in giant steps towards the man.

Then, he wasted no words and got straight to the point, “You are the one in charge of the tests this year?”

Hearing this, the man didn’t even lift his eyelids and he pointed to the long queue. “If you want to attend the exam, go over there. Don’t bug me.”

“As the one leading the tests, you are not taking care of your responsibilities at all. Do you just see the Wan Jian House as your feeding bowl?”

Ling Xian’s expression darkened. His impression of this man turned for the worst. Now that this man was acting so careless, naturally he wasn’t going to be kind with him

After hearing what Ling Xian said, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and sneered, “Fella, go to the side. I, Xia Hou Lin, is not someone you can order around.”

“Okay, then let’s drop that for now.”

Ling Xian pointed to the young girl beside him, “Let me ask you. Did you call her waste and said she has no right to cultivate?”

Xia Hou Lin glanced at her and chuckled, “So you are here on her behalf.”

“That’s none of your business. You just need to answer me if you said that or not.” Ling Xian said.

“That’s right. I said it.”

Xia Hou Lin didn’t take him seriously, “Was I wrong?”

“Very well. Then let me ask you again, were you the one who hurt her?” Ling Xian glared at him, his anger was fueling.

“That’s right. I hit her.”

Xia Hou Lin was looking proud. “She is just a piece of trash and she dared to grab onto my sleeve. Do you know how much this gown costs? Even if you sell yourselves, you still cannot afford it!”

“Well, very well.”

Ling Xian’s expression turned cold, “So in your eyes, she’s worth less than a gown.”

“Of course!”

Xia Hou Lin sneered, “My gown is not something this kind of trash can touch. Luckily her hand was clean and didn’t make it dirty. Or else I would’ve beat her to death.”

“Beat her to death?”

Ling Xian was so angry he laughed. He can’t believe this man whipped her because she touched his sleeve.

He really didn’t think that to this man, a life is worth less than a gown!

Just how evil was this man’s heart?

“Well, very well.”

Ling Xian’s eyes were sparkling with coldness, “You were responsible for her test results. Were you blind? A genius that is one out of 10,000 was called ‘trash’ by you. Xia Hou Lin, you sure are great.”

Hearing this, Xia Hou Lin smiled and then laughed out loud.

“She is a genius? And one out of 10,000?”

Xia Hou Lin pointed to the girl and continued to guffaw, “Haha, a piece of waste who has no right to cultivate is a genius to you? You are the one who is blind!”

Hearing this, the young girl’s face turned white then got paler and paler. She bit her lip and her body began quivering.

To a 13-to-14-year-old woman, the words ‘piece of waste’ was too harsh for her self esteem.

“Don’t worry. You are not associated with those words at all. It is more appropriate to describe you as a genius.”

Feeling the young girl quivering, Ling Xian comforted her with gentle words and held onto her cold hand.

This made her heart feel warm. However, she croaked a fake smile and said in a low voice, “You don’t need to make me feel better. I truly have no natural talent.”

“Haha, are you hearing this!”

Xia Hou Lin laughed and taunted, “She even admits it herself. What more do you have to say?”

“Shut your trap!”

Ling Xian screamed and shifted his gaze onto the girl. In a low voice, he asked, “Tell me, do you really think you are useless?”

Am I… useless?

The girl lowered her head and continued to bite down on her lower lip. She didn’t speak.

Ling Xian was a little disappointed at this. If a person believes oneself to be useless, then that person is truly useless.

However, just as he was about to give up on her, the young girl abruptly lifted her head and using the loudest volume she could muster, she shouted towards Xia Hou Lin.

“I am not a piece of trash! I am not!”

Her voice was steady, powerful, and immediately made Ling Xian smile. It also garnered everyone’s attention.

“Very good.”

Ling Xian smiled and patted her little head, “You are worth me standing up for you.”

Then, he glared at Xia Hou Lin and her stare turned cold. “You called her useless right?”

“Hmm, isn’t that the truth though.”

Xia Hou Lin was very sarcastic and he looked very certain about it as he continued to mock, “So she says she is not useless, then she is useful? Even if she repeats what she said 1,000 times or 10,000 times, it will not cover up the fact that she is a piece of trash!”

“Very well. Widen your dog eyes and look at her! Is she really worthless?”

Ling Xian coldly snickered and began to infuse his own energy from his enlivener into the girl’s two eyes.

“AH!”

Immediately, the young girl shrieked in pain and her eyes began to bleed.

Ling Xian’s expression changed. He was a little shocked but was also happy, “This moment decides your success or failure. Hold on!”

Just then, he crazily called out to his soul and instantly broke the barrier that was inside the girl’s body. The strange and mysterious force transformed into the Inner Eyes!

HOMMM!

An infinite amount of heavenly light shot through the cloud. The girl’s eyes transformed and they shone like stars in the sky that can brighten the entire night. Whomever took a peek at her shuddered from fright.

The was the ninth-ranked Inner Eyes!

The Eyes of Falling Stars!

Immediately, the entire place silenced. All nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell became quiet as well!
