Chapter 112: Is She the One You Fear?

Everyone looked at Tianxin Ji, then glanced at the two elders outside who hadn’t even cast a shadow, and for a moment, it all felt like a dream.

The little girl standing in the center of the grand hall, delicate and doll-like, appeared utterly harmless.

Yet those two men were clearly kicked out by her, weren’t they?

Tianxin Ji’s expression was cold and indifferent. “I said, your explanations mean nothing to me. If you want to snatch my things, you’d better have the ability.”

Murong Wuhen’s pupils contracted sharply—she was at the True Return stage!

Sikou Yan knew exactly what the warriors present were thinking. He lowered his gaze slightly, a faint, enigmatic smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

But it wasn’t just the True Return stage alone.

Qifeng Feng wanted to step forward to intervene but was stopped by Murong Wuhen’s folding fan.

“Just now… were you afraid of her?” Murong Wuhen asked softly.

Yan Xu and Ye Ling exchanged glances. Though reluctant to admit it, both nodded solemnly.

Murong Wuhen understood, and his gaze toward Tianxin Ji deepened.

Those present, ordinary people without martial cultivation, had no idea what had transpired or what was truly going on.

But everyone knew the undeniable fact that the Third Miss of the Ji family had kicked the two elders of the Yufeng Academy out.

The scene was strangely surreal, an eerie silence hanging over the hall so complete that even the sound of breathing was distinctly audible.

Yuanruo Ji was equally stunned. Those two were masters at the Perfect Bright Aperture stage!

And Tianxin Ji...

Even their grandfather had only recently broken through to the Bright Aperture stage. No wonder he had treated her that way before.

Yucheng Ji was still utterly confused, not yet understanding what had happened.

The two elders, after being thrown outside the hall and rising from the ground, were flushed with embarrassment and shock.

They had no ability to fight back. No capacity to retaliate!

They were kicked out without any resistance whatsoever!

It was unbelievable—even they were still in a daze.

Tianxin Ji’s voice was soft and calm, yet her words echoed like a great bell throughout every corner of the Taiyang Hall.

“This time, it’s a lesson.”

Everyone expected her to continue.

But she stopped there.

Still, in the minds of all present, they imagined the rest: if this time was a lesson, what would the next time be?

What would the next time mean? Would it be their lives?

At that thought, a chill crept up everyone’s spine.

A child—a seven-year-old girl—whose tender, harmless appearance hid such ferocity.

For a moment, even Emperor Duan Qing’s slightly parted mouth struggled to close.

“Hmph! Such childish arrogance!” Elder Du was hot-tempered. Being so openly provoked by Tianxin Ji, he was instantly enraged. Besides, he simply could not believe a seven-year-old girl could be so powerful—not only had she shamed them, but she even dared to taunt them!

Elder Li tried to restrain him but failed. Like a bolt of lightning, Elder Du surged toward Tianxin Ji!

Tianxin Ji was about to turn around, but a fierce gust of wind swept behind her.

“Miss Ji...” Lin Si stepped forward, concern evident in his voice.

The wine glass in Sikou Yan’s hand shattered explosively! Fragments splattered with wine flew everywhere!

Elder Du, who was already close to Tianxin Ji, was forced back by the flying shards. His eyes widened abruptly, narrowly dodging the attack!

Every shard that landed plunged deep into the ground, striking with a sharp metallic clang!
