Chapter 782: Chapter 784: The Useless Squad (Five)
She caught sight of Mu Ruyue standing in the doorway and a sudden rage ignited within her, "You wretch, don’t think that because you took the opportunity to ambush me outside you are truly my match! I simply couldn’t be bothered to bicker with you, but I never expected to share a room with you now! It seems we really need to settle our scores!"
An Lin was filled with rage, as if wishing her glares could kill Mu Ruyue.
Shu Ning frowned slightly with impatience, her calm gaze sweeping toward the furious An Lin. She spoke evenly, "If you find this place unsatisfactory, feel free to live somewhere else. Besides, since the three of us are together, I would rather not have any conflicts arise."
An Lin scoffed coldly, her eyes glancing at the badge on Shu Ning’s chest and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, "Intermediate Innate? So you’re just an Intermediate Innate after all, what’s so great about that? Here, I am an Advanced Innate, and you all must listen to me!"
Intermediate Innate?
Mu Ruyue looked at Shu Ning in surprise and frowned slightly. The aura emanating from this woman was clearly not that of an Intermediate Innate.
Had she hidden her true strength?
Shu Ning, unhurried, wore a serene smile, "Young lady, let me offer you a piece of advice. On East Island, not everything is as it seems on the surface. Sometimes, the people you shouldn’t provoke are mixed in with the most inconspicuous crowds."
Having said that, she glanced meaningfully at Mu Ruyue. Her gaze, seemingly able to penetrate everything, gave Mu Ruyue an odd feeling in the depths of her heart.
Could it be that Shu Ning had also seen through her true strength?
It was known that her strength was always shielded by the Dan Book, so ordinary people were generally unable to see through it...
"Interesting."
Mu Ruyue curved her lips into a smile, it seemed that Shu Ning was not just an ordinary person...
"Someone within the crowd you can’t provoke?" An Lin laughed coldly, her lips curling with ridicule, "Surely you’re not talking about yourself, you presumptuous girl. Don’t be so arrogant when you’re incompetent. The likes of you always meet a bad end!"
Shu Ning smiled faintly, "I’m merely giving you a warning. If you choose not to listen, then don’t blame me for not reminding you."
With that, she picked up the book in her hands once more, never bothering to glance at An Lin again...
"You..."
An Lin stamped her foot in anger and fixated her furious gaze on Mu Ruyue, but after encountering the latter’s icy stare, her heart trembled involuntarily, followed by a frustrated bite of her own lip.
She was merely an Intermediate Innate waste, and earlier had just been lucky to catch her thrown whip; it was not her actual strength, so there was no need to fear her...
Yet An Lin had completely forgotten, if it was just a matter of luck, how could an Intermediate Innate catch the attack of an Advanced Innate?
Of course, if it were not for the badges issued by the First Grand Assembly, An Lin might still have questioned Mu Ruyue’s strength, but now she was completely deceived by that badge...
"Just wait, you two. I won’t make it easy for either of you!"
A ruthless look flashed in An Lin’s eyes and intense anger distorted her features. As long as she, An Lin, was here, she would never let these two women who disregarded her have an easy time.
Shu Ning laughed coldly. She had never cared for such a spoiled young lady like An Lin and certainly wasn’t going to give her another look, instead, quietly continues reading her book...
