Chapter 282: Scandal
Luo Lei incredulously stared at Xiang Ning. You dont recognize me?!
Wait, let me think. You look familiar, but I really cant remember who you are. Xiang Ning tried to recall, but saw that Luo Lei had already moved his chopstick away. He seized the chance and took the tier five bovine tenderloin onto his plate.
Luo Lei was enraged when he saw Xiang Ning mumble and sneak food onto his plate. If it werent for the other people there, he would have fought with him right then and there. Unfortunately, he couldnt do so because the honor of his school and city rode on his shoulders.
Youre too arrogant! Luo Lei finally snapped.
Uh Im really sorry that I cant remember who you are. Xiang Ning saw that Luo Lei was getting angry and felt ashamed. While he had remembered him as the competitor who tried to bribe him, he had truly forgotten what his name was. Hmm, maybe I could think about who he is later, he thought to himself as he saw his Fury Points increasing.
You! Fine! Just you wait! Luo Lei swung his arm in an attempt to knock Xiang Nings plate away.
Hey now, thats a bit rude dont you think? Xiang Nings eyes were cold. He didnt have a good impression of Luo Lei and his provocations. If it was before, he would have knocked him cold with a hoe when someone tried to steal his spirit stones. But for now, he just grabbed Luo Leis hand.
Luo Lei felt like his hand was stuck in a vice grip. Let go! Luo Lei took his plate and smashed it toward Xiang Nings face.
Fury Points +155
Xiang Ning didnt move. He was a tier four, two star spiritual cultivator with an enormous amount of Mental Power. The dinner plate was easily controlled by him. In the eyes of the public, the dinner plate was stuck to Luo Leis hand, unable to move even a centimeter.
Shit! Luo Lei was fuming. He felt like he had been shamed in public as he looked at the gathering crowd.
Hmph. Xiang Ning scoffed and released his control on the dinner plate, then turned and left as the food fell to the ground. He didnt care how embarrassed Luo Lei was. There was no reason to even take notice of people like him who instigate every single thing. He felt like he was wasting precious time that could have been spent having dinner with his little sister.
Luo Lei was truly mad, his eyes red with fury as he trembled. He was the star student in his school and the role model for everyone in his city.
Fury Points +444
To think that he would be disgraced here! How could someone of his status tolerate it? His eyes were venomous as he stared at Xiang Ning leaving the place.
Xiang Ning suddenly stopped and turned back, then took a plate and placed another piece of meat on it. The onlookers were confused.
He went over and placed it in front of Luo Lei. You couldve told me if you wanted it. I still have a lot of food, whyd you need to say those weird things? He shook his head and went past Luo Lei. He had seen a chef bringing out five plates of tier five prawns and took one of the plates without hesitation. The prawns were twice as large as the tenderloins. Xiang Ning knew that it would be worth at least a few hundred experience points.
He urgently needed them, because it was too hard to increase his strength nowadays. He needed stronger foes as he grew, if he wanted to improve his cultivation. Still, even if he had found one, there was no way he could run and provoke them into hitting him like an idiot.
There were too many restrictions in reality. Xiang Ning wanted to sneak out and fight some beasts, but he thought it would be too dangerous. He recalled the last time he had done that and decided to get stronger before he attempted it again. As for the qualifiers, he had wanted to use the chance to collect experience points, but the current competitors were too weak. Still, there was a chance his cultivation would explode in growth in the next city.
Xiang Ning was looking for his sister as he thought of methods to increase his cultivation. He completely ignored Luo Lei, who was trying his best not to attack Xiang Ning. He stared at the tenderloin on his plate and the prawn that had been taken by the bumpkin.
This is outrageous! Unacceptable!
Fury Points +999
Luckily, the buffet wasnt crowded and only a few people were eating. Still, the qualifiers were an important event, so there were reporters in the hall. One of them, Ou Feng, had already recorded the incident. He was excited to publish it!
To be able to cross cities as a reporter still required a sizable amount of resources and experience. Compared to the other reporters, he was still slightly inexperienced, but if he could uncover some incredible news and increase the popularity of his region, he would be able to obtain the resources needed to cross over to the next city.
He had felt that the teams around his region were lackluster, even if they were quite strong. Still, the teams in the northern region were in an entirely different league of their own, especially North Star City.
But now a chance had fallen right into his lap!
That was why when everyone had woken up on the second day, not only had they obtained the lineup for the qualifiers, but they had also received a strange piece of news. Lei Zhongyuan chuckled as he read the news. Damn, who wrote this shit? Since when was my student in the wrong?
Look at this! To think that punk told the reporters that he was innocent and my student was the perpetrator! If Xiang Ning really did that, Ill personally bow and apologize to that brat! Lei Zhongyuans fists were feeling itchy as he wanted to punch Luo Lei.
Calm down! You should know how devious reporters are! A simple opening statement and a picture are all it takes for a reporter to spin a tale. Theyre even smarter than Edison! Mu Ronghua patted Lei Zhongyuans shoulder.
Shit. This is an important tournament! Everyones watching our every move. How can I withstand such slander towards Marsh City?! Lei Zhongyuan was furious.
Xiang Ning was also mad.
......
Hello, are you Luo Lei?
Yes.
You were bickering with someone in the buffet hall earlier. Was he a competitor too?
Yes, thats right.
Why were you guys fighting?
Luo Lei proceeded to talk about the incident and painted himself as the victim. He also took the chance to slander Xiang Ning and lied about how devious he was. He even went as far as to wonder what kind of city or school taught a villain like him!
Everyone that saw the news was debating it on the internet.
Xiang Ning, dont be angry. Relax, well personally send him home. Li Zimo patted Xiang Nings shoulder.
Doge & Chacha's Thoughts
Lmao time to send Luo Lei home in a bed
