Chapter 24 – Imperial Capital Secondary School (Part Two)

When the Ye Family belonged to the Imperial Sword, the Helian Family and Ye Family had always maintained good relations. The two had known each other since childhood, and even after the Ye Family was pushed out of the Imperial Sword, this friendship continued.

Ye Yunxi was weak, so Helian Moye did her utmost to protect her, often suffering bullying as a result.

“Ah, it’s Helian Moye!”

“Your family is already at the bottom of the Imperial Sword rankings. If you don’t work harder, you’ll become the second Ye Yunxi!”

“Hahahaha!!”

The mocking voices made Helian Moye tremble all over: “I said no speaking ill of Yunxi!”

She angrily lunged forward, but the boys scattered in laughter. One tugged at her curly hair, another pulled at her backpack. Helian Moye was like a teased pet, at a loss, anxiously turning in circles.

Suddenly, someone yanked Helian Moye’s backpack off and casually tossed it. The backpack hung precariously from the top of a tall pine tree, swaying dangerously.

Helian Moye grew frantic, standing on tiptoe and reaching out, but the tree was too high with no places to climb. She paced around anxiously.

The boys watched the spectacle, laughing uproariously even as Helian Moye was on the verge of tears.

“Do you want our props?”!”

Lu Wenwei pulled out a slingshot, deliberately taunting: “If you’ve got what it takes, shoot it down! Hah!”

Helian Moye was desperate – how could she go to school without her backpack?

She snatched the slingshot, picked up a stone and shot, but unfortunately, she couldn’t hit it down no matter what.

The backpack was hung too high, and students didn’t have much strength. She couldn’t even hit the backpack, let alone knock it down. At best, she could only reach the top branches.

The boys laughed even harder, constantly provoking her: “Shoot! Shoot quickly!”

“If you can’t even hit this down, you’re already as useless as Ye Yunxi!”

“Still a member of the Imperial Sword? Just give up your position to us already!”

“We even gave you the tool, and you still can’t hit it. Useless!”

The mocking voices made Helian Moye’s eyes redden. She bit her lip tightly – Yunxi wasn’t useless, and she wasn’t useless either! It was them who were bullying!

Why bully Yunxi? If you’ve got what it takes, why not bully someone else!

Helian Moye was about to cry when a hand reached over and took the slingshot. Pink fingertips gently rubbed her soft hair as if comforting her, and then she saw Ye Yunxi’s slender figure lightly shift, placing herself protectively in front of her.

“I’ll do it.”

Long hair swept before her eyes with the calm voice, but this time it moved her more than ever before!

Yunxi, protecting her?

So cool!

“Hah, the waste wants to try her skills too?””

“Pfft, can you even shoot properly?”

“Don’t hit yourself, hahaha!”

Everyone burst into laughter, but Ye Yunxi calmly raised the slingshot, aimed, and released.

Everyone waited to see the spectacle, but with a swoosh, the stone seemed to have eyes and directly hit that branch. The backpack swayed and accurately fell into Ye Yunxi’s arms.

Everyone: ….

Holy crap!

Is this cheating? Could an ordinary person hit that?

Lu Wenwei stared dumbfounded at Ye Yunxi. He looked up at the height of the branch, then at the slingshot, suddenly feeling like the world was truly wonderful.

A coincidence?

Fake, right?

“Hey, you all.”

Ye Yunxi coldly looked over, her dark eyes carrying an imposing aura that made the boys’ scalps tingle.

“W-what do you want?””Punishment!”

Ye Yunxi raised her slingshot, smirking coldly.

Naughty children must be punished!
