《Path of the Lilies》57. Wei Family Maliciousness
Advertisement
“What do I want?” Wei Mi arched her eyebrow. “I want to crush you.”
Ye Jiao frowned. What was this girl saying? Her eyes showed trace of confusion as she looked back at Wei Mi. The two of them were of the same age, yet it seemed as if Wei Mi’s mind was filled with malicious thoughts.
“You’re just a trash that should have never been born. If not because of that annoying woman, my mother will never receive ridicule from other people!” Wei Mi yelled angrily.
She found out that some people would look at her mother with disdain and ridicule, which was weird considering Su Lian’s position. As the legal wife of a great general, she should have been respected wherever she went. Even though they didn’t treat her that badly, she hated it when they looked at her with pity because of her mother.
Why?
Wei Mi heard from others that Su Lian confronted Ye Ai Xia numerous times in the past and never won even once. Even in the competition just now, they never considered her mother to win the race. This made her angry and annoyed.
In her mind, if she could get rid of Ye Jiao, she would be able to help her mother regain some face. After all, if Ye Jiao lost face because of her, it would attribute that her mother was greater than Ye Ai Xia.
“What are you talking about?” Ye Jiao didn’t understand at all.
Wei Mi sneered. “You will never understand, you b*tch!”
She stepped forward and swung her arm right to Ye Jiao’s face. Instinctively, Ye Jiao evaded to the side, making Wei Mi’s attack fall short. Even though Wei Mi lost her balance for a moment, Ye Jiao didn’t take the initiative to attack. Her eyes were watching the girl as she calculated her movements in her mind.

If she dared to attack, Wei Shang would surely blame her for misconduct. Harming a general’s daughter would merit a lot of beatings as punishment.
Wei Mi stabilized herself and launched several punches, which came from the basic martial art in the military. As the daughter of the general himself, it was not weird that she came to learn them. After all, Wei Mi’s talent was known to be the best among the five siblings in Wei Family.
Ye Jiao dodged several of them as she stepped back.
“Why are you attacking me?”
“Why? I want to beat you up!” Wei Mi replied angrily. She would not feel calm until she saw Ye Jiao wounded.
Seeing that Wei Mi was about to begin another barrage of attack, Ye Jiao prepared herself. Her keen senses told her that the others were coming in her direction.
Her body moved to the side, evaded the attack in large movements. At the same time, she made sure that there was a large distance between her and Wei Mi. She glanced at the side where Wei Shang had appeared with Wei Cheng and Wei Liao. As for Su Lian, that woman was nowhere to see.
Probably, they were having debate with other women over the competition.
“What’s going on here?” Wei Shang asked with annoyance.
The voice and pressure coming from Wei Shang sent shiver down Ye Jiao’s body. She hurriedly stopped every movements of Eon Energy in her body as her palm was clenched into a fist. Just a gaze from Wei Shang felt like piercing her body, scanning at her directly without any ability to resist.
It was scary. She felt as if she couldn’t hide anything in front of this man.
“Daddy!” Wei Mi wailed. “Dad, she’s cursing me.”

Cursing?
Ye Jiao snapped back to the real world when she heard Wei Mi’s accusation. Where in the world did Wei Mi hear her curse? She barely spoke out any word at all during the time Wei Mi was here. This girl….
“Is that true?” Wei Shang frowned. He disliked Ye Jiao, but he didn’t really want to make any trouble for the girl more than what he had. If anything, he didn’t want to have any interaction with Ye Jiao because she would make him remember Ye Xiao.
“Yes, that’s true! She was cursing Wei Mi even before I went go to call you, Dad!” Wei Liao supported Wei Mi’s words.
Ye Jiao stared at the young man with a frown on her forehead. Just how far did they want to slight her?
“Are you sure you didn’t mishear?” Wei Shang felt rather suspicious. If that was true, the two of them wouldn’t just stay silent and do nothing. They would surely retaliate to Ye Jiao considering how proud they were.
“Yes!”
“Yes, Daddy!” Wei Mi pleaded, using her sweetest voice.
Wei Cheng stepped forward. “Father, she’s an insolent girl that doesn’t know her place. You should give a lesson to her!”
“Yes, Dad! You have to punish her!” Wei Mi asked while crying.
Wei Shang was put in a pinch. He came here because Wei Liao told him that Wei Mi and Ye Jiao were in the middle of a fight. But from what he saw, the two of them didn’t seem to be hurt at all. If it was verbal bullying, he couldn’t confirm the truth as he sent the guards to watch at faraway location.
“Dad, are you siding with this bit… brat?” Wei Mi sobbed.
The girl’s soft tone and pleading voice melted Wei Shang’s heart. He sighed as he waved his hand. “Just do as you wish. Just remember to return in a few minutes. Your mothers will return soon.”
“Thank you, Father,” Wei Cheng bowed politely, but underneath his notion, a wicked smile was formed on his lips.
As Wei Shang moved away, Ye Jiao was considering whether she should run or not. Wei Cheng has reached rank 1. If he wanted to beat her up, it would be extremely easy because their gap in strength was too much.
“Father has left,” Wei Liao informed.
Wei Mi smirked. “I also bring a whip this time around. Now, help me capture her, Cheng Ge, Liao Ge!”
Ye Jiao’s body jerked to the back as Wei Liao sprinted forward suddenly to reach her. She twisted her body to the side, agilely evaded the grip. Afterwards, Ye Jiao jumped back. Wei Cheng was reaching to her side at higher speed, so she moved away once more.
As she had been training with Mu Xin, her reaction speed was rather fast. Even Wei Cheng would be unable to catch her if he was alone.
As the two younger ones blocked her way, Wei Cheng reached to her back. His fist hit her back fiercely and before Ye Jiao could escape, the pain made her fall to the ground. Beads of sweat trailed down on her face as she could faintly see the smirk on Wei Cheng’s smug face.
Before long, all she could see was a barrage of fist and kick plus the whip that Wei Mi used.

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan
