Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1033 - 1029: Youth Must Be Wild

The elder always killed his targets, without exception—until today, when there was one.

Standing sideways in a boss-like posture, the elder initially wore a calm expression, as if waiting to admire his handiwork.

But then, he heard Dragon Spirit’s mocking words.

The elder’s placid demeanor immediately cracked, as if he had been slapped hard.

His strike was powerful; anyone with eyes could see that clearly.

Yet the young man before him easily avoided it, without any effort and with not even the slightest embarrassment.

This surprised the elder slightly, and deepened his suspicion about Dragon Spirit.

No one could bear the responsibility for losing the copper mirror, especially not he, the Guardian of the mirror.

Even if he included all the people from the General Association and the local association, the responsibility couldn’t be shirked entirely.

Upon seeing Xuan Chu and Dragon Spirit, he immediately decided to shift all the blame to these two.

Even though he knew they might be innocent, that didn’t matter.

Their timing was too coincidental, and their residence was very close to the place where the mirror went missing.

Most crucially, this man surnamed Dragon had fought that Black Robed Person, and watched as he eventually left.

Based on these facts, he could shift all the responsibility onto them, and even to their families or sect.

In this way, he would, at most, face some punishment as the Guardian.

However, the imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

He had planned everything, just waiting for these two to be executed on site, and everything would settle.

Unfortunately, their strength was higher than he anticipated, making it impossible to fully clean up everything.

The elder’s gaze became somewhat sinister as he looked at Dragon Spirit.

"Young man, being too arrogant isn’t good!"

Dragon Spirit brushed away the nonexistent dust on his shoulder, but the gesture carried a hint of contempt.

"It is said that youth should be wild; my skill and talent are top-notch, and I’m still young.

If I don’t flaunt my pride now, should I wait until I’m an old geezer like you?"

In terms of sharp-tongued exchanges, Dragon Spirit and Yun Ran were indeed quite aligned.

Their sarcastic remarks were considered polite.

They made stabbing comments regularly, and if their opponent wasn’t provoked to the point of coughing blood, they considered themselves restrained.

The elder had always been revered by others; even those from the General Association would step softly around the Guardians of the copper mirror.

Now, some guy who seemed barely mature had the guts to speak this way to him.

Utterly presumptuous!

Dragon Spirit and the elder exchanged words, seeming calm on the surface, yet the atmosphere was swords at the ready.

The local association members initially felt slightly relieved seeing Dragon Spirit unharmed.

However, hearing their conversation, each line pierced the other’s vitals.

With such a stark comparison, they suddenly realized.

Although Mr. Long was somewhat distant before, seemingly hard to approach, he was never this blatantly assertive.

Now witnessing Mr. Long’s attitude towards the Venerable, they finally understood how generous he had previously been.

Although the situation was not quite right now, those from the local Dark Masters felt inexplicably warm inside. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The president saw things spiraling out of control and quickly stepped in to calm the situation.

"Venerable, this is Mr. Long I had mentioned earlier. He’s saved us several times before."

As the president planned to continue introducing the elder’s identity to Dragon Spirit.

Dragon Spirit interrupted him by raising a hand: "I don’t want to know what identity this elder has. I didn’t come here to meet anyone.

If I hadn’t encountered you in life-threatening danger on the road, I wouldn’t have intervened.

Later, you pleaded with me earnestly, and fearing you’d truly face danger, I agreed to stay a bit longer to help.

Now, it seems you are swamped with troubles, and I don’t plan to remain here any longer.

We brothers have our own matters to attend to; today, we’ll take the opportunity to say our farewells."

Saying this, Dragon Spirit turned to leave, clearly not planning to remain any longer.

The president felt anxious upon hearing this.

They were entangled with troubles, needing Dragon Spirit’s help.

Even without troubles, they wouldn’t want to offend someone and let them leave.

"Mr. Long, wait!"

Dragon Spirit ignored him, walking directly away, exhibiting the stance of being uncontainable, regardless of who tried.

At this moment, Xuan Chu seized the opportunity; it was finally his turn.

The persona he and Dragon Spirit had established was now useful.

"Junior!"

Xuan Chu spoke, and Dragon Spirit’s steps immediately halted, turning with an unwilling yet obliged expression, needing to listen.

If Xuan Chu weren’t the reserved type, seeing Dragon Spirit’s resentful face now.

He might have burst out laughing.

Xuan Chu really hadn’t expected Dragon Spirit’s acting to be that good.

If he didn’t know Dragon Spirit’s temperament, which slightly heeded Yun Ran’s words...

Xuan Chu might actually believe Dragon Spirit was forced to obey this fake senior’s commands.

Nonetheless, they had to keep the act going.

"Junior, you are still impatient. Listen to what the president has to say first."

Dragon Spirit showed a very displeased expression but ultimately turned back to look at the president.

Seeming to say ’get on with it’

The impatience on his face was almost palpable.

Xuan Chu didn’t continue looking at Dragon Spirit but focused on the president.

"Though my brother’s temper isn’t great, he never loses his temper randomly.

We two brothers aren’t to be disposed of casually.

If you can’t explain what just happened clearly today, you can’t fault my brother for not giving you face."

After giving them some face, Xuan Chu adeptly lifted himself up again.

With a rapid combination of moves.

He reframed Dragon Spirit’s defense as safeguarding his rights, subtly needling the opposite side once more.
