Naked Sword Art-Chapter 268 - Li ChangYing's Grievances
[ Li Family Guild House ]
News of Xiao Fang learning the [ Misdirection ] technique had quickly spread amongst the Li family clansmen. No one knew who he was, but it wasn't the first time they were hearing his name.
Back when Li Xiang passed the Inner Court Exam, the first thing she did when she arrived at the Li Family guild was tell them to go find a man by the name of Long Wang. For that reason alone, many of them began to suspect that Li Xiang was the one that gave Xiao Fang the [ Misdirection ] technique.
The news eventually reached the ears of the only Li family clansmen in the Dragon-Class. She was none other than Li Xiang's half-sister, Li ChangYing.
"What!?" Li ChangYing raged as she slammed her desk.
"We don't know who taught it to him, we don't even know if the rumors are true, but we wanted to immediately inform you just in case it was," the disciple reported to her.
Li ChangYing was worried because she believed it to be true. She knew Li Xiang's character well, so she was convinced that this was something she would certainly do.
"Everything is just a game to her, but this time she's gone too far," Li ChangYing said to herself.
"Where is he now?" Li ChangYing asked the disciple in front of her.
"He might still be in the Martial Arts club room," the disciple replied.
Upon hearing that, Li ChangYing immediately got up from her chair then quickly rushed out the door. When she arrived at the Martial Arts club, she discovered that Xiao Fang wasn't there.
'Damn it,' she cursed inwardly.
Xiao Fang had left early because he knew many of the disciples were bothering him about where he learned the [ Misdirection ] technique from. He didn't want to give Li Xiang up, so he decided to leave instead.
...
Although Xiao Fang wasn't there, Li ChangYing didn't return back to the guild house because she eventually saw Li Xiang practicing with Xiao Hei.
"You!" Li ChangYing angrily said as she pulled her away by the arm.
"Ahh let go of me," Li Xiang whined.
After taking her to a private room Li ChangYing finally let go of her arm.
"Tell me you didn't give Long Wang our [ Misdirection ] technique."
Seeing the look in her elder sister's eyes, Li Xiang could tell that she really messed up this time. Hesitant to answer, Li Xiang wanted to prepare for the worst, but it was too late.
Pa!
Li ChangYing slapped Li Xiang much harder than she ever did before, making her fall to the ground as blood began to trickle down from the corner of her lips.
Despite being beneath her half-sister in terms of authority, she still viciously punished Li Xiang since no one else would.
Li Xiang had no time to even apologize, but the truth was that she didn't even want to. Since Li Lian was his fiancée, he had every right to that technique than anyone else in the Li Family guild. However, since she promised not to tell anyone about his relationship with Li Lian, she kept it inside as her older sister continued to beat her.
"Do you realize your mistake now, little sister?"
"..."
Li Xiang didn't reply.
Li ChangYing wanted to continue hitting her, not just because she broke the guild's sacred rule, but also for all the grievances she kept building up inside of her all these years.
Despite having the same father, no one treated Li ChangYing the same way as her younger sister because her mother was a whore. Even though Li ChangYing was a Dragon-Class disciple, everyone still placed Li Xiang above her in terms of authority.
Li ChangYing cared for her little sister, and wanted to see her succeed, but she couldn't help having these inner grievances whenever she saw Li Xiang breaking the family rules and acting like a child. Li Xiang didn't deserve the respect she was given, not like Li ChangYing did who had to work hard for everything she had.
Li Xiang was weak and bruised as she coughed up blood, but she still refused to admit her wrong doings.
Li ChangYing knew she should've kept hitting her, but she was unable to make herself do it. For the crime Li Xiang committed, she deserved a punishment that was 100 times worse than this, but she was her beloved older sister, so she was unable to continue.
"Where is he?" Li ChangYing finally asked in a stern tone.

Meanwhile at the Cultivation Room Rental building, Xiao Fang was speaking to the sexy Elder at the front desk as he ordered to rent out a 1,000 merit points room for 1 hour.
"That will be 1,000 merit points," the Elder said.
Xiao Fang paid her up front then bribed her with a valuable beauty product, requesting that she make a specific person guard his room. The Elder accepted his bribe and agreed with a beautiful smile.
She then gave Xiao Fang an armband and the keys to room 69. She hoped that he would catch the hint this time, but he accepted it as if he didn't.
"Thank you," he said with a handsome smile.
The beautiful Elder nodded, before he started to walk away.
Ever since Xiao Fang walked into the building, the Elder had been smiling at him as if she knew something he didn't. This wasn't the second time they were meeting, they had actually met a few times in the bedroom in the Outer Court, but she assumed he wouldn't recognize her since he was blindfolded. She even shamelessly stared at his nether region a few times thinking he wouldn't notice.
Xiao Fang noticed everything. He even knew who the Elder was, but didn't say anything because Su Yun made his clients believe that he couldn't see who he was sleeping with to keep their identities safe.
Thinking about the intention behind his request, the elder could only imagine that his intention was anything but innocent. She suddenly leaned over the counter to watch him leave, then bit her lower lip sexily as she thought about what she would do with him the next time they were alone together.
Once he was gone, the Elder quickly rushed into the back room to get the girl Xiao Fang asked for.
"Peng Ting, room 69."
