Chapter 283: That’s her! Part3
The other participants standing around Tang Yue also looked at her with complete and utter disdain.
Every single one of them had worked and continue to work and train extremely hard in order to stand here and the appearance of the young girl simply ticked them off.
Especially when the girl was obviously not a prodigy and was not in the least talented.
So a couple of dwarves standing next to Tang Yue’s work station also joined Xyla and vented out their frustration of not getting selected by harshly commenting on Tang Yue.
“Youngsters these days just want to take shortcuts.” A middle-aged dwarf grumbled.
“How did you have the face to show up here when you can’t even refine the metal properly?” Another dwarf added.
“You are right Master Xyla, these kinds of brash teenagers are not fit for learning to smith and probably won’t amount to anything in the future.”
“Which idiot even accepted this fool as an apprentice?”
“Our royal city’s smithies need to maintain their standards. Otherwise, everything will go to hell soon.”
Xyla snorted in contempt and pitched in to answer that particular question.
“Apparently, this child registered as a merchant. She hasn’t joined any smithy yet.”
“Ah~ That’s why!” Immediately everyone understood the situation and sneered.
Inwardly, some of them were slightly taken aback by the young girl’s talent to come to this level on her own.
But they didn’t dare speak it out loud since obviously, Master Xyla was against this girl.
The Grandmasters and most of the dwarven royal family members had also left the pavilion, so no one bothered to hold back.
They went all out and started roasting the scapegoat standing by herself.
The crowd was also slightly more boisterous in the evening and this small commotion made things very lively.
Thus, the small matter of a Master critiquing a single contestant blew up disproportionately and garnered quite a lot of attention.
And while this group continued blindly criticizing and ridiculing her, Tang Yue, on the other hand, still had her head bent down.
She didn’t respond to any of the taunts and the harsh comments aimed at her.
In fact, she didn’t even pay attention to anyone, including the pointy-faced woman standing in front of her at close proximity.
Her movements flowed smoothly, her hammer raising, and falling down systematically on the slab of metal in front of her.
Despite the bullies surrounding her, and the insults flying at her, not even a single jerk appeared in her steady and calm actions.
Tang Yue seemed to be entirely in a world of her own. It was as if everything around her didn’t even exist.
She didn’t hear, see or feel anything else. Their words didn’t even register in her brain.
And even though she just happened to be in this trance-like state and did not do anything deliberately, her attitude and behavior extremely angered Xyla and the few dwarves standing near her.
It seemed as if the young girl was insulting them and ignoring them on purpose and they became even more agitated.
Things slowly started to become more and more chaotic and a bigger crowd started gathering.
While this ridiculous scene was unfolding, Layla, standing at a distance, happily grinned and hummed in satisfaction.
“This is what you get for messing with me bitch.”
Despite her failure today, the woman was in a good mood and she skipped and strolled back to the palace.
Surprisingly, apart from Layla, there was one other person who was extremely happy at the moment.
“That’s her.” Tang Xi hissed. “That’s definitely her.”
Gale and Ginko were both confused.
There seemed to be absolutely no rhyme or reason to this claim of hers.
It didn’t even make sense.
Someone trying to blend in and disguise themselves as a dwarf would probably not attract such huge negative attention.
It just was not prudent to do so and from what Gale and Ginko knew about Tang Yue, the woman was extremely shrewd.
“Are you sure, princess?” They asked in unison, refusing to accept Tang Xi’s conjecture.
“My sister always likes to stand out. Without a doubt, that’s her. She is the one disguised as that young dwarven girl.” Tang Xi firmly replied.
She looked at how everyone was criticizing Tang Yue and chuckled.
“Heh. My poor sister. These people are mocking you because they have no idea about your true talents.”
“Let me help you out and show everyone just exactly who you are.”
Tang Xi’s long forked tongue flickered in and out and she started weaving through the crowd, heading towards Tang Yue.
A violent glint shone in her eyes.
Gale and Ginko looked at each other and nodded. They both decided not to follow Tang Xi.
They still couldn’t understand Tang Xi’s actions.
They were very certain that the foolish woman was only going to expose herself and end up in the dwarven prison cellars.
So they didn’t want to unnecessarily give away their identities as well.
After all, the mission came first, and as long as they managed to kill or capture Tang Yue, they couldn’t care less about whatever happens to Tang Xi.
The duo silently stood afar and observed Tang Xi as she quickly waddled through the crowd.
She was now almost less than 10 yards away from Tang Yue when Tang Xi suddenly stopped moving.
She stood tall and steady, took a deep breath of air to compose herself, and activated her cultivation base.
That only took her a moment and then she chuckled coldly, licking her lips with a heinous vile smile.
ENSLAVE. She hissed under her breath.
The very next second, a misty ball of energy coalesced in front of Tang Xi and it carried the weight of the illusionary magic spell Enslave.
The ball of energy floated up and flew towards Tang Yue ignoring all the people standing in between her and Tang Xi.
It swirled mystically and contained within it the overwhelming absolute power of a Demi-God.
And if it reaches Tang Yue at the moment, she would have no means whatsoever to resist the power of that spell.
