Chapter 25 Xi'er Gets Beaten

 　　Yinglin picked up the spoon beside her and handed it to Bingtong, saying, "Bing'er, it's still warm! Eat up!" Bingtong slowly picked up the spoon and began to eat elegantly. Seeing her eat, Yinglin sat down next to Youyun. "Ying'er, what kind of soup is that?" Youyun asked, voicing the question on everyone's mind. "Oh! Actually, I don't know either," Yinglin replied; she truly didn't know. "Why, Bing'er..." Youyun was about to ask further when a sudden 'bang' sound drew everyone's attention. Everyone looked over, and then Yinglin stood up abruptly and ran quickly to Bingtong's side. It turned out that Xi'er had snatched the soup from Bingtong's hand and thrown it on the ground with a loud thud. "Bing'er, are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Yinglin asked Bingtong with concern. Bingtong shook her head. Seeing that Bing Tong was alright, Ying Lin turned her head and said coldly to Xi'er, "What are you doing?" Seeing her murderous gaze, Xi'er instinctively shrank back, then suddenly realized she was right. She straightened her back and looked directly at Ying Lin, saying, "I didn't do anything! Didn't you hear what the teacher said? No eating the food you brought! You brought this, didn't you? I was helping you. What if you get punished?" She said this with a smug air.

　　Ha! Ying Lin sneered, then raised her hand and slapped Xi'er's left cheek with a 'smack,' then her right cheek with another 'smack.' Xi'er stared wide-eyed, utterly unable to believe that Ying Lin dared to hit her. Not only did she not believe it, but You Yun and the others also couldn't believe it. Ying Lin was usually so gentle, how could she... "You...you...you actually dared to hit me?" Xi'er asked incredulously, covering her face. "Ha! I'll hit you, so what? Don't think I won't do anything to you just because you're some young lady from the Mo family. Even if you were Wei Yi's girlfriend now, I'd still beat you without hesitation. I advise you not to try and test my limits, otherwise, I'll make you suffer even more than you are now," Ying Lin said coldly from the side. At this moment, Xi'er had two lines of tears on her face, making her look pitiful, but Ying Lin was never one to pity people. "You wait, I won't let you get away with this," Xi'er said to her through her tears. "Whatever! I'm waiting for you," Ying Lin said indifferently, waving her hand.
　　After dealing with Xi'er, she went to Bing Tong and carefully checked her for injuries. Seeing that she was really alright, she said to her, "Bing'er, go and rest first!" Bing Tong nodded and then went into the tent. At this moment, her expression was icy cold. When Xi'er came to snatch it, it wasn't that she couldn't dodge, but that would have revealed that she knew martial arts, which would have been troublesome. In that instant, she did want to kill her. If it weren't for Ying Lin, Xi'er would have been beheaded long ago.
　　Seeing Bing Tong enter the tent, Ying Lin turned to look at You Yun. She saw You Yun's expression constantly shifting, so she went to his side and said, "Yun, what's wrong? Are you alright?" 'Did I scare him just now?' Ying Lin thought to herself. You Yun, regaining his composure, smiled at her and shook his head. Then he pulled her to continue eating. Halfway through the meal, she suddenly remembered something, abruptly looked up, startling everyone. Then she said to Wei Yi, "Yi, you won't blame me for hitting your girlfriend, will you?"
