Chapter 346 How Dare You Provoke Me
Xiao Hua said vehemently, "But even if you don’t do well this time and don’t get first place in the whole grade, the worst-case scenario is just that you can’t review by yourself and have to go back to class for review. It’s not a big deal; you can continue your studies and apply to a good university next year.
But what about me? My family can’t afford to send me to school. If I don’t have that US$ 30, I lose the chance to study, can’t apply to university, and then have to go back home to be arranged into marriage.
If you were in my shoes, would you choose to stop someone else from getting first place in the whole grade, or give up your own education? Isn’t the choice obvious? Besides—"
Xiao Hua glanced at Jiang Mengyu, "I couldn’t move during the exam; that was your doing, right? You’ve already taken your revenge on the spot, so why are you coming to find me now?"
Jiang Mengyu felt puzzled, "Why are you so sure that it was me who interfered with your exam?"
Xiao Hua chuckled twice and said, "I’m well aware of what I did, and it’s no surprise you took revenge right then and there since I wronged you.
I hated you very much at that moment because of you, I might have lost the opportunity to study. But—"
She fiddled with her shoulder bag, "I don’t hate you now because I can continue my studies. I set you up, and you have taken your revenge on the spot, so I don’t owe you anything. Please, show me mercy and spare me."
Jiang Mengyu was still curious, "My seat was so far from yours, how could you be so sure it was me who interfered?"
"Because, you know spells!" Xiao Hua said.
Jiang Mengyu was startled, "You—"
"You don’t have to deny it. When I was little, I once saw someone who knew spells just like you. You have the same aura as him."
Jiang Mengyu was still silently astonished, "Where is that person now?"
Xiao Hua spread her hands, "I saw him when I was a kid; I have no idea where he’s gone now."
"Since that’s the case, let’s find a place to talk," Jiang Mengyu suggested.
Xiao Hua didn’t want to go, but Jiang Mengyu had leverage over her, and she feared the school would find out. She wasn’t as capable as Jiang Huaiyu, and if it came to it, she might get expelled. Therefore, prudently, she followed Jiang Mengyu to a small hillside.
Jiang Mengyu found it strange, "Knowing that I understand spells, how can you not be afraid of me?"
Xiao Hua rolled her eyes, "People like you believe in karma. I offended you, you took your revenge, and that settled our karma. You wouldn’t harm me again, so why should I be afraid of you?"
But in truth, her heart was in turmoil, pounding heavily.
Jiang Mengyu didn’t expect Xiao Hua to understand even this.
Indeed, any normal cultivator would be afraid of karma. Even evil cultivators avoid unnecessary karma.
In fact, it’s not just cultivators who face consequences for their actions; even ordinary people do as well, but because cultivators have spiritual sensitivity, they are acutely aware of karma.
Ordinary people live in a muddled state, unaware of their own karma.
Elders often say that the Gods are always overhead, watching - they are the ones who keep track of your karma.
Whatever you do creates a cause, and someday, that cause will bear the fruit of your actions.
Some people may seem to get away with terrible deeds without punishment, but it’s only because the karma they’ve sowed is too great, and the fruits are still ripening, not yet ready to emerge.
Good deeds lead to good results, and evil deeds to bad outcomes; it’s not that they won’t be recompensed, but that the time hasn’t come yet!
For Xiao Hua, she might be slightly afraid of ordinary people because they do not understand karma and are not wary of it, thus acting without restraint.
But cultivators understand karma, and they do not lightly provoke it.
That’s why she wasn’t afraid of Jiang Mengyu, who had already acted against her once, unless she provoked Jiang Mengyu again.
Jiang Mengyu thought it was peculiar, "If you see things so clearly, then you should know that you’ve sown quite a few seeds of karma against me, and as a cultivator, my revenge would not be something a mere ordinary person like you could withstand. How dare you provoke me?"
