Chapter 172: Ghost in the Magic World - Prelude (6)
Chapter 172: Ghost in the Magic World - Prelude (6)
Xiang Kui mentally reviewed Shang Kui’s memory and mental journey.
To be honest, Xiang Kui felt that Shang Kui was truly a complicated person. On one side, she couldn’t forgive Shang Family Head, Bing Hong Xiang, Shang Xiyue and others who had made arrangement for her life like that.
But on the other hand, Shang Kui had given up on her life and didn’t want to make any changes whatsoever.
It was truly...
Odd.
But Xiang Kui could somewhat understand that Shang Kui truly felt tired and didn’t really want to deal with these people anymore. If it was really possible, Shang Kui wanted to run away from the very beginning.
But the problem is that the Time and Space Administrator told her that it’s impossible to run away.
If she left the city...
Shang Kui would die almost immediately and the world balance would be broken once more.
That’s how the request for taskers to come and complete Shang Kui’s life mission came from.
But that was not something Xiang Kui needed to think about for the time being.
Her attention refocused when she heard Jun Lin’s voice.
"I want to," Jun Lin said firmly. "Can’t I?"
Even though Jun Lin still said this in strong tone and posture, Xiang Kui could see his fingers clenched on the side.
’So cute.’
Xiang Kui’s eyes flickered and then she said, "Alright."
"That’s good." Jun Lin nodded and the two of them walked side by side towards the Shang Family Residence.
"Are you not worried about Bing Hong Xiang?" Xiang Kui suddenly asked.
She didn’t understand where Duan Rong Yu and Jun Lin got the confidence to deal with Bing Hong Xiang.
After all, in her previous life, the two of them did manage to survive.
But it was not without losses.
Xiang Kui was not sure what was loss, though.
"Not really." Jun Lin tilted his head and then said, "Bing Hong Xiang can’t play much trick in the practical exam. We’re about to enter the magic forest and there are a lot of magic beasts there that we have to deal with. Even if Bing Hong Xiang wants to make trouble, he can only let some people track us and possibly try to kill us."
Even though the content of his sentence was terrifying, Jun Lin said everything in a relaxed manner.
It was obvious that Jun Lin simply didn’t care too much about Bing Hong Xiang.
"Kill you?" Xiang Kui was stunned.
So Jun Lin and Duan Rong Yu knew that Bing Hong Xiang had long wanted to kill them. Uh wait, so their hatred towards each other at this period of time was already enough for them to want to kill each other?
If Xiang Kui was not wrong...
They were only 15 years old, right?
Her expression turned a bit strange.
"Yes." Jun Lin nodded. "The Duan Family and the Bing Family have been enemies for generation. It’s not that surprising to see them want to kill each other."
So if Duan Rong Yu or Bing Hong Xiang stated that they wanted to kill the other party when there was a chance, no one would think it’s strange.
The feud between the two families were still very strong.
Not only that, Jun Lin also knew that they secretly encouraged their younger generation to fight against each other. This was something that Duan Rong Yu told him and he even felt that his father was too much.
But since Duan Rong Yu also felt that Bing Hong Xiang was unpleasant to the eyes, he didn’t hesitate to try his best to kill the other party if possible.
That’s why their spar has always been the most talked about in school.
Neither Bing Hong Xiang nor Duan Rong Yu dared to kill each other blatantly, but they tried not to hold back during their battle.
On one side, this made Duan Rong Yu and Bing Hong Xiang much more powerful than other children in the same year. So it seemed that another reason why the Duan and Bing Family allowed this rivalry was to increase their younger generation’s strength as fast as possible.
Without enough motivation, neither Duan Rong Yu nor Bing Hong Xiang would be willing to work so hard.
Peace made people relax.
And perhaps, peace would make them develop in other direction.
It would have been a good thing if they were just ordinary families who didn’t have any magic whatsoever.
But they were top tier magic family.
If the younger generation became weaker, it would be impossible for them to survive in this cruel world.
"I see." Xiang Kui also understood what Jun Lin meant.
This made her wonder how Jun Lin know so much about the Bing Family and the Duan Family.
Jun Lin seemed to see Xiang Kui’s confusion as he continued, "It’s the same in the Jun Family. Everyone is given a kind of motivation to get stronger."
When he talked about this, there was a faint killing intent flashing by Jun Lin’s eyes.
He completely understood that his existence was nothing more than a sharpening knife handed over by the elders to the younger generation in the Jun Family. What he wanted was to let the younger generation bully him and made him hate them.
As long as he had hatred, Jun Lin would definitely work harder to get stronger and in return, the younger generation of the Jun Family would also work harder so that they would not be surpassed by an illegitimate child.
The cycle continued.
And they were basically encouraging each other.
Jun Lin only realized this later on, but even if he knew, what could he do?
Nothing.
Because he knew very well that even if he was being treated as knife by the other people in the Jun Family, he could only accept his role and then continued to work hard to get stronger.
Otherwise, what awaited him would be nothing more than his own miserable death.
