Barking Up the Wrong Tree - Looking Down on Junior Martial Sister
Miss Juese wasn't fazed even after learning Lan Kelan was jealous. All women deserve to be forgiven when she starts swinging a weapon out of jealousy…
Bai Yeshuang: "Why did you attack her when you knew that? Apologise to Junior Martial Sister Ming."
Female constables referred to each other as martial sisters and arranged seniority according to the date and time they entered employment. Ming Suwen was older than the two girls; however, she was their junior martial sister. She didn't find it offensive. To the contrary, she was jubilant. She joined Liu Shan Men to overcome the seniority obstacle between her and Ming Feizhen. She was one grade his junior all on her first day already. Why wouldn't she be happy?
Bai Yeshuang: "Junior martial sister Ming is a senior disciple of a reputable sect. She showed lenience, only evading your attacks, yet you continued to viciously attack her."
Before Lan Kelan left, she said, "Humph, the one Vice-Captain wanted to recruit isn't all that impressive. If you ask me, she didn't dare to attack."
Bai Yeshuang wasn't well-versed with articulating her thoughts. She frowned but had no response: "You…"
Ming Suwen suddenly laughed: "Hey, Lanlan."
Lan Kelan stopped in her tracks after her first stride and thundered, "What did you call me?!" You asked for th-"
Right as Lan Kelan reached for her sword, she noticed something whiz toward her, leading to her taking a step back to catch it with her hand. She checked to see it was an ordinary hairpin. Though ordinary, she felt a chill down her spine. Discovering there was a hole in her s.h.i.+rt, she freaked out.
Ming Suwen giggled: "Look after your stuff. Girls shouldn't swing their sword around so carelessly. It's not good for you."
Lan Kelan looked as white as a sheet. She had no verbal counter. She bought the hairpin in her hand yesterday. She knew full well her hairpin didn't grow wings and fly off; she knew Ming Suwen pinched it from her when they pa.s.sed by each other before. The reason her complexion was ghastly pale was because Ming Suwen was able to take an item she kept on her without her even noticing. In other words, Ming Suwen could've taken her head without her even knowing. Lan Kelan finally realised Ming Suwen left her in the dust completely. She snorted and stomped off.
"She's not a bad girl," said Bai Yeshuang, watching Lan Kelan leave. She elaborated, "She is the faster learner among all of those Vice-Captain trained. That is why she is relatively proud. She has always considered herself to be Vice-Captain's left and right arm, so when she sees you… She just doesn't know what to do. Please don't hate her for it."
"I know. I won't," responded Ming Suwen, smiling. "Lanlan is adorable."
"You have to refer to her as 'Senior Martial Sister Lan'."
"Can't I call her Lanlan?" asked Ming Suwen, blinking rapidly. "Young Kelan? Young Lanlan?"
