How you deal with them.

I churned my thoughts as I lay on my bed; I thought of how to develop myself and understand the mystery of everything. After a while, I sighed. In any case, I am nobody, and no one should give me any significant evaluation except being a miscreant. This result should give me enough cover to act freely. As a miscreant, what I enjoyed the most was people's misery—it gladdened my heart to no end. However, I had no tolerance for feckless ants that assume themselves to be invisible. It was much to my annoyance. A country with no administrative power: everything that vixen told me till now was a dent. An invisible hand controlling the nation? What a pathetic excuse for someone uninterested in giving me any detail. I had concluded she gave me an appetizer to keep me around. Damn that Li Min. The more I yearned for more information, the better for her. In any case, she was digging her own grave to taunt me.

As I lay on my bed with all these trivial thoughts, my mind reflected on Changming Quan. "Bullies, huh?" I sighed deeply. A child wanted to become the king of bullies. What an irony. I've understood that the asshole, gods-mind had drained all my previous godlike bully aura. I dared anyone to move in the street when I took a leisure walk in my prime. In any case, I need to see his act tomorrow. "How would Li Min react to that confession. It would be incredible to see." I muttered with anticipation.

"However, let me think of other matters first," I whispered as I sat upright and exhaled deeply. In my mind stood the extraordinary golden steel monument. The overbearing ancient auras imbued it with pressure and dignity—it was an unreachable existence. The golden steel monument was glistening. I could tell that my massive influx of energy had made the golden stele become alive. The Buddha behind the relic was glorious as an otherworldly existence. The carved Phoenix and dragon had already transformed—they exuded supreme auras.

I peeked at the highlighted topic: alchemy. This topic should be interesting. The golden stele began to teach me different forms of ancient plants—they were all spiritual plants. The monument abruptly brought me into an unknown world. The heaven and earth auras that filled this world were supreme. The plants in this world danced like Phoenix and dragon—the aura they exuded was fantastic. The monument began to name the plants and their functions in the body. In a few hours, I leaned over hundreds of kinds of plants. After a while, the monument brought me to an ancient alchemy room. Inside, I saw the tools used for alchemy from ancient times to the current time. Meticulously, the relic began to teach me how to create pills from the spiritual plants. However, while these things were happening, I was only in front of the golden monument in a genuine sense. The golden light glistened so brightly that I lost my figure in the dazzling light. Regardless, my body in my room had only meditated for half an hour. After a while, I opened my eyes; a heaven aura had filled my body with a unique temperament. "So this enlightenment is the way of life," I calmly muttered as I saw another interesting thing.

….

The next day.

I sat in my usual position in the class when I suddenly felt a strange movement. Changming Quan stood up from his chair; he headed towards Li Min. Getting there, he bowed. "Xiaomin, I will like to have words with you. Are you free?" He said with a slight trembling.

Li Min appeared slightly surprised as she heard someone pretending to be familiar with her; she peered another deep glance at Changming Quan. However, he nervously avoided her gaze. Anyone could see his unwillingness—it was as though someone had forced him into action. I watched the scene with great enthusiasm. But just as he avoided Li Min's gaze, he instinctively turned to me. What ghost was he planning? Who allowed him to involve me in this game? If he wasn't up for it, why did he approach me, telling me how I should stay a hundred million miles away from Li Min when he couldn't amount to anything. In any case, he just lost it and had unintentionally confused himself. With that little shift in attention, Li Min caught the ghost clue. She smiled devilishly. No, to be precise, she sneered.

From her reaction, I knew things had gone out of hand. It was far from ordinary. Anyway, my hypothesis worked just fine. Using Changmimg Quan to check it was worth it.

"Don't you want to say something? Just go on already." Li Min decided to torment the hell out of the poor soul. "Do you need a secret room to convey your message? What an immortal emperor. Then again, it won't be surprising if you said nothing when left alone with me because you are extremely nervous." Li Min could not hold back. Anyone could hardly believe she was Li Min because she was always silent. In fact, she would always use silent pressure to communicate. Being quiet was her key to controlling her environment. So for a moment, she sounded different. Of course, her beauty remained the same. She continued to watch Changming Quan with silent indifference.

"I want to go out with you." Changming Quan exploded with sudden courage; he finally blew the word out. In fact, anyone could see his tightened muscle—he was really anxious. Even if he was courageous, he could not precisely hide his fear.

"Er!?"

Li Min looked stuck for a moment, but I doubted it was because she had nothing to say. Perhaps, she just wanted to intensify the pressure on Changming Quan. Maybe, the virago wanted to verify what the Gremmie said. She already had a hint: someone forced him to say this word. However, she knew that Changming Quan could also hide seriousness in the veneer of being threatened. What a silent shrewd? She couldn't expect a person to be so bold to confess to her—she was bemused for a moment. It could be possible she had miscalculated the powerful person behind the scene.

I stood in apparent dismay; I already knew the outcome. I lazily pocketed my hands and decided to leave the class. Even at this point, Changming Quan was still trembling. He couldn't hide his vibrating hands at all. Li Min watched him indifferently—no one knew her thoughts. Even though what to say was never an issue, she remained quiet. After all, she could reply to him at any moment without having to think anything.

After a while, she began her lecture: "First, I don't understand how you gathered this courage to make a scene. At the same time, who gave you the courage to call me Xiaomin. Am I familiar with you? Cease this nonsense immediately; I have more important things to do than waste my time with you." Li Min chided.

'Of course, I knew the outcome. Who could have given Changming Quan the courage except me.' I sneered outside as I lazily listened to their nonsense.

When the class ended, I stood about to head to my dormitory, but someone abruptly stopped me. It was the devil, Li Min. It looked as though she wanted to confirm something.

"What's the matter?" I asked curtly. I had a hunch this thing was going to be a hassle. In any case, I had no time to haggle with this person.

"You awfully resent and repel me, you know?" she said with a light smile. I knew this smile demonstrated the power of the small witch. In fact, I knew she was up to no good. What game was she playing?

"Get to the point. What do you want?"

"You set him up, right? Anyway, I don't care how you did it, but your intention behind it worries me. You are very calculating, and it is scary. However, some students had hidden perfectly well in the shadow. They are in class A and class C. Shortly, the real reason for the uniqueness of this academy would begin. You have a role to play."

"Don't lump me in your ludicrous games; I'm not your shield or pet. In fact, if you must ask for my help, you have to use the proper channel. Furthermore, It was obvious that Changming Quan could not control his fear. Who said you made it happen. In any case, you might as well accept his good gesture because he really loves you." I smirked. 'Of course, I have accomplished the reason for my test. Now I know Li Min had some untold power. More like the power of silence. She only needs that silent momentum to extract information secretly. It looks like the people of the prince's families all have different kinds of powers. It will be fun.'

Li Min was pensive; only the lord of the heavens knew what she was thinking. I didn't care, and they were not important to me. She stood still for a while as her cold gaze darted at me. Then she smiled as she drew closer to me like she was pinning me to the wall. "Don't you want to learn how I do it?"

" You mean how you use silence to control others? Haha, I couldn't care less about it. Honestly, it is a mere trick, after all." Of course, I had seen all those abilities in "the way of life" in the golden monument. I pushed her out gently and walked out. I saw other things (in the way of life) when I concentrated on acquiring momentous knowledge about alchemy. The golden stele showed me another set of skills. However, those skills were innate. But this skill that Li Min had been using seemed to be taught—it was just a mere trick.

Li Min stood expressionless as she watched me leave; she stood there. "Who are you, Guang Fang?" she muttered to herself. "Nothing affects you, and you were ready to stay in the shadow even if it meant being despised by everyone. Are you doing all these things only because you want to hide your true ability? Anyway, I look forward to how you will deal with those guys in A and C classes. I hope you will prepare yourself well." Li Min closed her remark with that and left the class.
