《Heavenly Will》Chapter 14 - Subdue Them With Arrogance
Advertisement
Looking at the delighted handsome youth, Qing Su’s slim eyebrows wrinkled. Not paying attention to his call, she turned away.
“Big Brother Yun, Elder Brother Fen, let’s go.”
“Miss Qing Su…” The handsome youth saw that Qing Su intended to leave and immediately beckoned to his men with a calm face.
The three of them were soon surrounded.
“Xiao Zhi, what’s the meaning of this?!” Su Fen roared furiously. His expression became unsightly as he glared at handsome youth.
“Ke ke, Miss Qing Su, please wait,” The youth completely disregarded Su Fen’s existence and moved closer to Qing Su, “I was wandering if you would like to accompany this unworthy one for a walk?”
Qing Su’s pair of long and beautiful eyes were lazily narrowed staring at him. A feint coldness flashed through them, “I’m sorry to disappoint you Xiao Zhi young master, but we still have something to do, please move aside.
Qin Su’s clear voice made Xiao Zhi body tremble slightly. The fire in his eyes seemed to have been ignited as he involuntarily licked his lips. The way he stared at Qing Su’s graceful figure, was like a predator staring at it’s prey. His handsome face contained a friendly smile. This smile along with his status and handsomeness had successfully landed him quite a few girls.
“Hehe, Miss Qing Su, have you come to the market to buy something? I’m quite free right now so why don’t we look around the market together? If you want something I can buy it for you.” Xiao Zhi’s expression didn’t change. It seems he didn’t intend to back down.
Seeing this, Su Fen wanted to intervene but was stopped by Qing Yun. Su Fen glanced at the youth beside him with a puzzled expression. Qing Yun had a calm smile on his face, to others this smile might seem innocent but looking at this seemingly vulnerable youth, Su Fen felt his scalp go nub. Cold sweat poured down his back as his body froze.

“Xiao Zhi young master, I already said that I have something to do! Can you move aside?” Qing Su small mouth curves upward and her voice was smooth without any hint of irritation.
Being rejected by Qing Su, the edges of Xiao Zhi mouth twitched but he kept his smile and pulled out a pendant from his pockets. The chain was a light green color and exuded a cold soothing feeling, it was made from Frosty Sand. From the chain hanged a smoothed golden ball. A soft aura spread from the golden ball and scattered it’s light on the pendant.
“If that’s the case, I won’t bother Miss Qing Su anymore.” Xiao Zhi’s smile accentuate as he took out the pendant. “Please accept this insignificant gift, although it’s nothing impressive it can increase the cultivation speed of those in Qi Refining Realm. It should be quite helpful for Miss Qing Su.”
Qing Su’s eyebrows narrowed when Xiao Zhi took out the pendant, of course it was not because of the piece of jewelry, but because of Xiao Zhi’s following action. He began to move closer to her, it seems he had the shameless intention to put the pendant in her hand personally.
A coldness flashed through Qing Su’s eyes as the Qi inside her dantian started to surge like broken dam. She wasn’t a cold person, although she seemed indifferent towards others she wasn’t a detached person. But towards this man in front of her she couldn’t feel anything but disgust. She knew what kind of person he was and how many women have fallen prey to him.
Xiao Zhi was the second young master of Xiao Clan. In this Tianlong City there weren’t many who would dare to disrespect him. If he had his eye on a woman he would do everything to obtain her. In the past there were several married women that were taken by him with force.

Xiao Zhi reached for Qing Su’ hand. Seeing the lewd expression in his eyes, Qing Su couldn’t take it anymore and was about to blast him off before a warm hand grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back.
Qing Su looked at the youth that had a gentle smile plastered on his handsome face as he glanced at her. “You don’t need to worry yourself with those small matters, let your big brother take care of it.”
Qing Su felt her body shudder under Qing Yun gentle gaze but she was soon overwhelmed with worry.
“Girl, what’s with that look, you don’t trust your big brother? Watch me take care of this guy!” Qing Yun patted Qing Su’s head and said heroically.
Qing Su couldn’t let go of her worry but she still went behind Qing Yun obediently.
Xiao Zhi naturally witnessed this exchange between the two and felt his body convulsing involuntary. This young lady who was usually indifferent towards any man was acting so meek towards this youth who came out of nowhere. Although Qing Yun was quite handsome he didn’t seemed like a martial practioner, anyone who saw him would think that his only saving grace was his face.
Since they were in the middle of the market, the previous events were naturally witnessed by the many people around them. At this moment many were looking at this scene with excitement in their eyes.
“Hehe, it seems young master Xiao Zhi is on it again.”
“Ka, this time it’s Miss Qing Su. This brat Shi never learns.”
“I heard he’s quite infatuated with Miss Qing Su. He even went to propose marriage to her but was politely declined.”
“Ke, politely declined? Brother, you’re new around here right? Every one knows the story from back then. This brat went to Su Clan to propose to the lass but was disrespectful and even dared to insult some seniors from Su Clan. Because of that he was beaten till he was half dead and thrown in front of the Xiao Clan.”
…
Conversations were erupting every were around them but Xiao Zhi didn’t payed any attention to them. At this moment the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a unsightly expression.
“Brat, who the hell are you? You actually dare to interfere in this young master business? It seems you don’t value your life!” Xiao Zhi scowled as he glared at Qing Yun.
Qing Yun glanced at Xiao Zhi with a calm expression, it was like he was looking at a clown, one could see the disdain he felt towards this young master. He was used to these kind of people, they act conceited just because of the power behind them. Without that backing they would be nothing. He had a very straightforward way of dealing with those people,
Subdue them with even more arrogance!

The Legend of Ghost
This is a quick novella origin story to one of fan-favorite characters in the ZERO universe, Sam Dobbs, a.k.a. Slade Gardner, a.k.a. the Ghost. I wrote it for current ZERO series fans, after many insistent, fervent, teary-eyed demands. Still, I think it pretty much works as a stand-alone, so I'll post it here. (He gets the name Ghost later, not as part of this story...this is just the why he decided to do what he did, being slightly insane and all.) Lots of easter eggs for current fans. 15k words total, chapters will be approx. 2.5k each. Oh, and if you get turned off by crazy, hyperintelligent antisocials being crazy, hyperintelligent antisocials, this isn't the story for you. ;)
