Chapter 685: Traditional Secret Techniques

Who hasn’t seen a fight before?

But to fight with such momentum, and to leave the opponent utterly defenseless, that’s impressive.

Look at Zhang Xiaoman’s face turning green.

Just moments ago, she was so arrogant, and now she’s so pathetic.

Not even a hint of a counterattack.

However, it’s made everyone look at Gu Lingling with new eyes again.

Why is it clearly her who’s hitting, yet she seems so noble and dignified, making people feel this beating was deserved, that she ought to be taught a lesson?

"Let go of me." Zhang Xiaoman blushed crimson, completely limp and unable to exert any strength.

Gu Lingling snorted coldly, disdainfully releasing her arm and pulling out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her hands in disgust.

Zhang Xiaoman, trembling with anger at being looked down upon, took a few steps back to what she thought was a safe area before resentfully pointing at Gu Lingling, "How dare you hit me."

In all her years, it was the first time she’d been slapped in the face in front of so many people.

"Weren’t you just passionately inviting, begging me to hit you?" Gu Lingling said indifferently, rubbing her hand, "You said it twice, how could I refuse you?"

"You... you..." How could there be such a person?

She said to hit her, so she actually hit her? Didn’t she realize that was sarcasm?

The crowd was suddenly enlightened. Just as Gu Lingling arrived, Zhang Xiaoman repeatedly said, come on, hit me, so Gu Lingling did just that.

This... is there really such a way to handle things?

It really left everyone a bit dumbfounded.

"Zhang Xiaoman," Gu Lingling asked, "Are we close?"

"Who wants to be close to someone like you? Don’t change the subject; how dare you hit me, I’m telling you, this isn’t over between us." Zhang Xiaoman said angrily, "Even if you kneel and beg for forgiveness, I won’t forgive you easily."

"That’s just perfect, I’m not planning to ask for your forgiveness," Gu Lingling smirked sarcastically, "Don’t bother thanking me for these couple of slaps."

It’s done, what’s the use of forgiveness?

Thank her for what?!

Zhang Xiaoman felt she was about to explode with anger, but Gu Lingling hadn’t finished speaking, "Now let’s talk about you slandering me."

"I ask myself if we’re even acquainted, and if you insist there’s some connection, it’s just that we both happen to come from Qin City," Gu Lingling said calmly, looking at her, "But before this, I didn’t know you at all, and I’m very sure you didn’t know me either."

"So I’m puzzled, where did you hear that I’m my fiancé’s child bride? Do you really think that just with your mouth alone, you can turn lies into truth?"

"Who gave you the courage to lie with your eyes wide open?"

"Do your family know you do this?"

"Oh, I forgot," Gu Lingling said, knocking her forehead in thought, "There’s a saying isn’t there? Something about the beam not upright..."

"When the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked," a nearby classmate added, and only afterward realized and covered their mouth.

"Right, thank you to this classmate," Gu Lingling clapped her hands, "I forgot, it’s your family’s traditional skill."

"Pfft..."

The nearby Wen Jing couldn’t help but laugh.

Even Meng Qinghao, the substitute counselor who followed them into the classroom, was trying to hold back his laughter, his face reddening from Gu Lingling’s phrase ’traditional skill.’

Is there really such a way to insult someone?

Really learned something new!
