Chapter 346 Envy, Jealousy and Hate

“…….”

A cacophony of wails and howls erupted on the small mountain, as the men were heartbroken, their hearts pierced as if by a knife!

Xiao Ning was their acknowledged goddess; every one of them pursued her, but none succeeded. They could only admire her from afar, never daring to profane her.

Now, seeing Xiao Ning, for the first time ever, with another man, how could they not feel heartbroken?

And just as they were consumed by grief, beating their chests and stomping their feet,

a few female students also looked at Su Lang with astonished eyes.

“Is his name Su Lang? How can he be with Sister Xiao Ning? What’s so special about him?”

“I think Su Lang is very handsome, exceptionally handsome. Senior Sister Xiao Ning must have fallen in love with him at first sight.”

“Senior Sister Xiao Ning isn’t that shallow! I know this Su Lang; he’s truly remarkable. He’s the most outstanding genius in our Pill Sect, bar none!”

“Ah!? He’s the most outstanding genius in the Pill Sect!? Oh, right, why does the name Su Lang suddenly sound familiar to me?”

“Familiar is right. Last night, Su Lang gave a major alchemy lecture at the Shangyang Mountain Plaza. Almost all the students and mentors from the entire academy went. I went too; it’s just you arrogant ones who didn’t go and missed out on a super important alchemy technique.”

“Ah? So that was Su Lang! He actually succeeded and even entered the Hall of Fame. How amazing! I regret it so much!”

“……”

Everyone was buzzing with discussions, and all eyes were fixed on Su Lang and Xiao Ning.

Curiosity, astonishment, envy, jealousy, hatred…

If it were an ordinary person, they might genuinely collapse on the spot.

But Su Lang had given lectures to the entire academy’s faculty and students with composure; this small scene was nothing to him.

As a great beauty and genius who was the center of attention, Xiao Ning was also accustomed to being watched by others, so she remained very calm.

The two found a flat, large stone and sat on it, continuing to discuss the profound mysteries of alchemy.

One spoke eloquently, continuously explaining, while the other listened intently, her face enraptured. Such a beautiful scene made those male students almost spit blood with jealousy.

And just then, the appearance of one person diverted their attention.

A figure in the distance, like a thunderbolt streaking across the sky, instantly flew into the valley and landed on the small mountain.

“It’s Senior Brother Li Qiming!”

“The top disciple of the Battle Sect! He’s also going to the Azure Continent!”

“Wow, Senior Brother Qiming’s expression is so grim. It’s my first time seeing him this angry.”

“He regards Xiao Ning as his possession, yet now she’s with Su Lang. This is a huge humiliation; how could he not be angry?”

“Then why doesn’t he go chase Su Lang away? Instead, he’s just standing there, not even looking at Xiao Ning?”

“Haven’t you heard? Su Lang spent a night in Xiao Ning’s room! A man and a woman, dry tinder and raging fire—what do you think happened?”

“So, Senior Sister Xiao Ning is no longer pure? Is that why Senior Brother Qiming has given up?”

“Xiao Ning is no longer a virgin, and Senior Brother Qiming is so arrogant? He definitely won’t pursue Xiao Ning anymore, and he will never quietly endure such humiliation; he’ll definitely retaliate!”

“Hiss, Senior Brother Qiming is the top disciple of the Battle Sect! He’s already a Low-tier Martial Venerable, stronger than most Battle Sect mentors. Moreover, he has the hidden ancient Li family backing him. In my opinion, this Su Lang will definitely be finished soon!”

“What do you think Senior Brother Qiming will do to deal with that Su Lang? Will it be very cruel?”

“Shh, is Senior Brother Qiming someone you can casually discuss? Shut up quickly, be careful what you say.”

“……”

The discussions gradually ceased, and numerous gazes constantly shifted back and forth between Li Qiming and Su Lang.

When looking at Li Qiming, everyone’s expressions were complex.

This top disciple of the Battle Sect, almost the top person in Tian Sheng Valley, had kept them suppressed and unable to raise their heads.

Now that Li Qiming had suffered a loss, although they dared not speak, there was certainly schadenfreude.

When looking at Su Lang, everyone’s gazes were more unified: pity, mockery, disdain, and the like.
