Chapter 329 - 329. Very Cruel
"You know where you went wrong?" asked Fu Xie Lan.
"It's your fault for breaking the palace rules. Rules are rules, and there's no reason whatsoever to break them. Not only the rules in Fairy's palace but also the rules wherever you are."
"I know why you did that, I'm even very grateful to you because it was all for me. But I can't justify everything you do."
"Because there's no justifiable reason for breaking the rules."
"And you know where your stupidity lies?"
"That's because of your unilateral decision. I agree with what Mr. Shin said, that you are stupid for not being able to judge the situation. It's just that what I meant was in a different context to what the middle-aged man meant."
"You already know, that obtaining pills from the palace is very unlikely, but you still do it."
"B-but I did all of that for you, Miss. How could you have the heart to speak of me like that," said Jiao feeling weak?
"And you call that a sacrifice? You're wrong, Jiao."
"Come to think of it, if Teacher Liu wasn't around at that time, then what else could you get other than whip wounds?"
"It does not sacrifice, but stupidity that leads to failure."
For the first time, Fu Xie Lan spoke at length. All that she did for the good of both of them in the future.
"In the future, you should be smarter in assessing the situation so as not to take the wrong next step."
"If it will only make you suffer and gain nothing then I suggest not to do it because there is no stupidity worse than that."
"However, if what you are going to do brings something useful to yourself or the person you want to protect, even though it will end up causing you suffering, then that's up to you."
"But, if it's only for me, then don't ever risk your lives like this again," she said again.
Meyleen and Jiao who heard the girl's words froze on the spot. The two of them tried to properly digest Fu Xie Lan's words.
While on Jiao's side, the man slightly confirmed Xie Lan's words. What he calls sacrifice turns out to be sheer stupidity.
He got nothing from the palace but a whip wound.
Even so, he couldn't help when he see the condition of the girl who suddenly fell unconscious.
Until finally, he forced his will without assessing the situation and all the possibilities that would happen, he was desperate to the palace, only armed with the hope of obtaining a healing pill, although in his heart the possibility was very small.
"I'm sorry, Miss," said Jiao finally spoke again after a few seconds of silence, a rough sigh escaped from between his lips.
"No need to apologize. I'm just telling you where you went wrong. It's for your good so you don't act recklessly in the future."
"And also....."
"If I were in your position, I might have killed Master Shin."
"Or I'll be the one killed."
For a moment, Jiao and Meyleen looked at each other, then looked back at Fu Xie Lan. The two rubbed their ears to make sure what they had just heard wasn't a mistake. Because what the girl said just now was the complete opposite of everything she had said before.
If Xie Lan had previously scolded them for breaking the rules, how could that girl come back saying she was going to kill someone?
"What do you mean?" stammered Jiao couldn't digest the girl's words at all.
"You are stupid."
"Do you know? Having a weak strength is not a reason for someone to go easy on you."
"You know that you are weak, and that's why you don't dare to go against Master Shin, right?"
"Where are your dignity and honor?"
"If only I faced him face to face, even though I was weaker than him. I would never accept all the accusations that were pinned on me, especially if I had to accept his arbitrary attitude."
"B-but Miss, what if you..."
"Scared of death?"
"Heh, dying is better than living without dignity."
"Or, maybe I'll give in first and then be able to do it another day when I've become strong." she was completely lost in thought.
The middle-aged man was responsible for the security of the palace, so it was only natural that he would suspect Jiao. However, after hearing all of Jiao's stories, from the time Master Shin was in the Inner Region until at the palace, Fu Xie Lan could judge very well, that the Fryz Leader of the Core Region had slightly abused his position just to vent his frustration.
"The point is, don't ever want to be treated arbitrarily just because you feel weak."
Jiao and Meyleen fell silent for a moment. Feeling slapped by the words of a girl who looked younger than them.
Yes, what the girl said was true. All this time, they continued to live in worry and fear, simply because they had weak powers.
Not only the two of them but all of the Fryz in the inner region.
Continue to submit and accept all the treatment of the Fryz in the core area, just because they feel weak and also afraid.
"When you feel better, you better get up and clean yourself up immediately," said Fu Xie Lan to Jiao.
"I don't like the smell of blood," she added.
The girl then stood up and turned around, stepping towards where Hao was.
"A-alright, Miss. Thank you," said Jiao immediately got up from his position assisted by Meyleen.
"Ah yes, this is clothes for you," said Fu Xie Lan then took out a men's clothes from her cosmic pocket and gave them to Jiao.
"Thank you, Miss," said Jiao when she received the clothes.
Although it looks like ordinary men's clothes, without a special hole in the back for a pair of wings, that's not a problem at all, because he can change it according to his wishes.
Hearing Jiao's words, Fu Xie Lan just nodded then turned back and continued on her way.
Seeing the girl move away from the two of them, Meyleen suddenly sighed.
She didn't realize that she had been holding her breath for a long time.
"Jiao..." Meyleen called in a half-whisper.
"What is it?" replied the man.
"Somehow I find that girl a little scary," whispered Meyleen.
"Who?"
"Miss Xie Lan?"
Meyleen nodded at the man's question.
"I also feel that way," said Jiao then laughed crisply.
"Miss Xie Lan is indeed a little scary and also very kind," continued the man again without taking his eyes off the white-dressed figure who was already far from the two of them.
Meyleen who heard Jiao's words immediately gaped.
"Miss Xie Lan already called you stupid, and you still think it's something good?"
Jiao just smiled at Meyleen's words.
"She's terrible, and she also sounds a little cruel. No, she's mean."
"But beyond that attitude, believe me, Miss Xie Lan said all those cruel things because she doesn't want to see us hurt again in the future."
"I've never met someone like that girl in my life."
"Looks so cruel and kind at the same time."
