My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 76: Incite Disharmony

Early the next morning, Lou Mu Yan and the others left the cave dwelling and hurried towards the periphery of the Glacial Mountain Range.

Along the way, they saw a vast expanse of white surrounding them. The entire forest was dressed in white, and so quiet that there werent even any sounds of birds.

After half a day, the snowflakes gradually fell from the sky and when it touched ones body or face, it was so cold that it made one shudder. It even hurt.

Everyone, use an Elemental Energy shield. Lan Si stopped in his steps and a light green circle of light encased his entire body. The falling snowflakes slipped from the circle of light and could no longer get close.

When other people saw this, they quickly mobilised the Elemental Energy within them, then five or six different coloured Elemental Energy light circles lit up, forming a scenic view within the vast snowy land.

What Lou Mu Yan mobilised was the fire attribute Elemental Energy light circle. She could comprehend all the elements of this land, but the one she was most adept in and had the deepest comprehension of was the Fire Elemental Energy.

Flakes of snow drifted down petal by petal, and before it could near her, the shield of light would melt it into droplets of water that fell to the ground. This scene also fell into the eyes of many attentive people.

There were three instructors from the Imperial Family that lead the team with Lan Si, with the main lead being a person named Yun Ji. He scrutinised the mountain not far away, This snow really came at the wrong time. Lets go to that mountain and find a place to rest first.

Lan Si and the rest nodded in agreement. Snowflakes such as these that were corrosive shouldnt be allowed to make contact with the skin for long periods of time, otherwise one would be inflicted with the Cold Poison. If one wanted to resist, one needed to use their Elemental Energy light circle shield to protect their body.

But in such a dangerous place, continuously using their Elemental Energy not only meant that it would be quickly exhausted, but if one encountered a Demonic Beast attack, they would all be in danger.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the energy used to maintain the Elemental Energy light circle that everyone used to resist the corrosion was constantly being strengthened. Gradually, everyones strength could barely match their desire to protect themselves. Luckily after two hours, they finally found a big cave on a hillside.

Lan Si and Yun Ji went in first to investigate, and after they came out, they called everyone in.

This cave is very deep. We went in for a long time, but we still havent reached the end. Well rest here for now and wait for the heavy snow to recede then continue on our way. All of you, quickly replenish your Elemental Energy. Lan Sis eyes were deep, without his usual clear, gentle smile, and a rare look of gravity surfaced on his face.

Yes! After walking with the Elemental Energy shield for so long, whether it was the students physical strength or Elemental Energy, they were all depleted by a lot. Everyone sat down and began to absorb the Spiritual Force of Heaven and earth to replenish themselves.

Lan Si and the six other instructors decided to designate two of them to guard against emergencies at the front and the back and recovered their Elemental Energy in rotation.

After sitting down, Lou Mu Yan raised her head and looked deeply at the cave that she could see no end to, and an ominous feeling rose in her heart without warning.

She didnt sit cross-legged like the rest to enter a state and absorb Spiritual Force to replenish her Elemental Energy, but instead directly took out the candy from Lan Si and threw them into her mouth in one breath. Then she telepathically told Lou Mu Bai to also eat the candy first to replenish his Elemental Energy.

When the sweet scent of the candy spread, the others noticed the actions of the brother and sister. Even Lan Si couldnt help but twitch the corner of his lipsdid this brother and sister pair seriously take what he gave them as candy!

The Empire Academy students all knew what the candy was, and they looked at them with eyes that expressed my flesh hurt¹, what prodigals!

Forget about Lou Mu Yan the prodigal girl acting crazy, why was Lou Mu Bai also following in the nonsense? These things should naturally be used during a critical time. It was just a waste to eat it now.

Of course, in a while, they wouldnt think this way, and they would all regret how they didnt imitate the brother and sister pair.

The members of the Imperial Family also noticed the actions of the brother and sister pair. Although they didnt understand, but they didnt think about it so as not to be distracted, and soon entered the cultivation recovery mode.

After Lou Mu Yan finished eating the candy, the Elemental Energy in her body was quickly replenished. There wasnt any need to recover using meditation, so she stood up and walked to the edge of the cave, grabbed a handful of dirt, and smelled it.

This behaviour made Lan Si very curious. While he meditated, he split his attention and looked at Lou Mu Yan, asking: Lou Mu Yan, whatre you smelling? You cant eat this kind of dirt.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at Lan Si. With which eye did he see her wanting to eat this dirt. But since they were all locusts connected by one thread², she still reminded them as if intentionally, yet also unintentionally: Teacher, you didnt notice any peculiar smell in this cave?

Peculiar smell? Lan Si was surprised, then sniffed around everywhere, and gradually also felt that something was wrong.

Lou Mu Yan, just whats the matter with you? Not only are you not having a good rest and instead wasted all the candy used to replenish Elemental Energy that Teacher Lan gave, but you go and sniff some dirt as well? Wheres the peculiar smell in here? I think youre just bored and looking for trouble.

You dont need to rest, but dont affect other people recovering their Elemental Energy. Hu Fei, who was also an instructor from the Empire Academy, looked at Lou Mu Yan unhappily. There was nothing but provocation in his words.

The moment his voice fell, a few students that were meditating and recovering opened their eyes and looked at Lou Mu Yan in disgust. They really questioned just how this trash was chosen to participate in the Trial.

They really wanted to throw her out, but considering Lou Mu Bais face, they were just barely able to resist cursing at her.

Am I affecting others? All I was doing was smelling some dirt, what did it have to do with you? Instead, Instructor must be deliberately trying to affect the Imperial teams recovery by reprimanding so loudly.

Lou Mu Yan leaned against the wall of the cave, raised an eyebrow, and continued: After all, if we met danger, our students all have the candy that Teacher Lan distributed earlier to replenish our Elemental Energy, while the members of the Imperial Family She only spoke half the sentence, but her meaning was evident.

You can incite disharmony, this old mother³ of yours, can too. Lou Mu Yan sneered in her heart. She could now dare conclude that this man surnamed Hu was just purely against her. The hostility was just too obvious.

You Hu Fei didnt expect Lou Mu Yan to counterattack him, and his face was black with anger. Then he finally raised his hand and pointed at Lou Mu Yan, saying: So this is your attitude towards a teacher?

Lou Mu Yan looked at his outstretched finger coldly. She hated others pointing at her the most. The corners of her lips rose into a careless and casual smile that carried with it a sense of ridicule: Is there any problem with my attitude towards a teacher? A teacher worthy of my respect, I naturally will respect. As for those like Teacher Hu who have bad intentions, forgive me for I dont dare to flatter. Even if Im a student of the Empire Academy, I really cant stand it anymore. After all, right now we still have to participate in the first segment of the examination with the members of the Imperial Family, no?

You

Hu Fei really didnt expect Lou Mu Yan to argue so tediously and vexatiously. Seeing one of the instructors from the Imperial Family cast a suspicious and unhappy gaze on him, he almost collapsed from anger. To explain wasnt a good idea, yet not to explain was also not a good idea.

Enough! Is it time for a quarrel right now? Yun Ji was the eldest and he immediately scolded them upon seeing their quarrel intensify.

Then he looked at Hu Fei with a faint dislike in his eyes, Hu Fei, why are you, as an instructor, seizing onto a little girl and not letting go. She only smelled the dirt, how could it affect the recovery of the others? In fact you being so loud just now was as if it were on purpose.

Yun Ji didnt like Hu Fei from their first encounter. This person harboured evil intentionsthat was his judgement of Hu Fei. As for his feelings towards Lou Mu Yan, he wasnt like the rest that looked at her with coloured eyes⁴. Not to mention the order that the Imperial Teacher gave him before coming, so he naturally was partial to Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at Yun Ji in surprise, a little curious as to why this person didnt blame her, but instead helped her.

Hu Fei was almost angered until his nose became crooked⁵. Yun Ji actually humiliated him like this, taking advantage of his identity as one of the leaders of this team. He noted down this grudge.
