Chapter 266

The Sumeru Seal
Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Ever since he entered the academy, You XiaoMo stole her thunder and grinded her pride beneath his feet time and time again.

If this was not DaoXin Academy, she would have long used the influence of the Teng Family to ensure that You XiaoMo would not be able to continue to live in Yan City. Thus, her only course of action available now was to tolerate these things.

Now that You XiaoMo had once again appeared in front of her, and snatched away the skill training manual that she had been planning to acquire, she could endure it no longer. Thus, she came up with such conditions.

From Teng ZiXin’s perspective, there could be none who would not be tempted by five thousand points.

However, her wishful thinking would ultimately be fruitless, as the person standing in front of her was You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo would just need to work a little harder, and in two to three months, he would be able to earn five thousand points. It could be estimated that within the entire academy, there was no one more awesome than him. This was because not everyone had a dimension which allowed them to cultivate plots of high-grade magic herbs. Thus to him, five thousand points were just like a tenderloin. It was appealing, but was still not enough to make him drool gluttonously.

You XiaoMo did not know how to react to Teng ZiXin’s tone of superiority contained in her words. Did he have ‘I am a greedy villain’ written on his face?

When he thought of this, You XiaoMo cocked his head and gave Teng ZiXin a once-over. Then with a serious face, he asked, “Who are you?”

Teng ZiXin’s face twisted further in anger.

When he saw this, Ling Xiao was delighted. To Teng ZiXin, those three words were the most retaliatory in nature than any other words.

Teng ZiXin wanted You XiaoMo to take this matter seriously. However, to get him to do that, she would have to admit that she knew them. But she would rather slap her own face before admitting this. When this approach came to Teng ZiXin, she was glaring so fiercely, her eyes seemed about to shoot flames.

“You XiaoMo, you better stop your jokes. Are you going to take up my offer or not?”

Teng ZiXin shed all pretense of cordiality and finally admitted that she knew You XiaoMo.

When the beauty beside her heard this name, she finally knew why Teng ZiXin pretended not to know them. As her close friend, You XiaoMo’s name was like thunder piercing the ear. She was quite curious about him, but she would not have expected that ZiXin would be at a disadvantage in front of them.
(t/n: thunder piercing the ear is an idiom that means a well-known reputation)

“Teng ZiXin, I intentionally earned four thousand points to get this high level skill training manual. Do you think I will still go through with your offer? To you tell the truth, even if you gave me ten thousand points, I would not take up your offer.” It wasn’t You XiaoMo’s objective to mock her, but Teng ZiXin’s attitude of looking down upon others rubbed him the wrong way.

The beauty knew that with Teng ZiXin’s arrogance, it was not easy for her to make such an offer. This You XiaoMo was still behaving so self-righteously she could no-longer bear to stand on the sidelines anymore.

“What will it take for you to give up the scroll?”

Hearing the beauty’s words, You XiaoMo shook his head, “I think that I’ve said it very clearly. I will not give up the scroll. You guys should stop wasting your efforts.”
