Silently the door opened again, with the people watching attentively.
Xia Chu walked out with an unresigned frown. While Zhi Rui followed with no expression, but the way she walked exuded coldness. Judging by their behavior no item was found.
Gao Fang frowned slightly.
"Seniors, please." He said lightly.
knowing what he meant, The Dao protectors sighed and went to every Zhi Rui subordinate, and searched their storage purses then, they walked around Zhi Rui's base, turning everything upside down, searching for any clue, Nothing was found.
Ten hours of search, in the whole swamp. and not a clue was found.
Gao Fang's face distorted as the time passed, as the tenth hour passed, He looked at Zhi Rui's subordinates with somber eyes.
Chao Cheng's and An Bai's stare were digging hole son the back of his skull. But since they all agreed with his idea with their own mouth, he didn't need to say anything more.
He snorted.
'Even if you manage to keep it, how can you use t?' He thought and bowed
"Zhi Rui, I Gao Fang apologize for the way I approached this matter. I had nothing but justice in my head and ended up offending you. As per the agreement, there no evidence you did anything and for the next two weeks, every disciple that doubted you will give five percent of their overall haul."
Zhi Rui remained expressionless.
"I'm accepting this apology, because as the weaker side, I know I wouldn't be able to gather more, but know this. I may be weak, but the Lord of light sees all and punishes all."
Gao fang staggered. Zhi Rui seemed like an old commoner lady. But nonetheless, he knew that statement resonated with the people outside. As they were the weakest part of the sect it was difficult to not identify with Zhi Rui.
"I can't accept this! People, we know it's her! we just need to kill her, none will raise problem with us over a dead per-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOUR DUMB MOTHERFUCKER!"
Gao Fang thundered with bloodshot eyes.
He was already seething because of the futility of his actions. Now with Bain Bengwan's mindless statement, Zh Rui's status as the weak and victim will be solidified. And if she dies soon, no matter from what, as long as it happens out of the majority's eyes, it'd be their fault.
'I need to at least clean myself.' He decided inwardly and took action right way.
"EVERY LIFE IS IMPORTANT! DON'T EVEN MENTION SUCH HEINOUS ACTS I FRONT OF ME AGAIN, OR I'LL FOREGONE OUR LINK AS BROTHERS AND WILL CUT ALL RELATIONS WITH YOU!"
Gao Fang stated and stormed out on top of his sword.
Bain Bengwan was frozen with a blank look. with anxiousness he bolted in the direction of Goa Fang, clearly intending on apologizing.
For a second Xia chu looked this figure and wondered if she had ever shown a ridiculous side like him. 'If I did, it's understandable why I'm in the second plane repeatedly.'
She gave Zhi Rui a last look, snorted and followed Bain Bengwan.
Chao Cheng and An Bai stared at her for a good long while. showcasing their animosity. Eventually, they left.
Leaving only Xa Dayu and her disciples. She waved her hand sending them first and walked up to Zhi Rui.
They were alone in front of the swamp. Zhi Rui smiled with some shyness.
"I still don't have the payment, can you wait for a little more?"
"No hurry, there's no hurry at all." Xa Dayu spoke waving her hand. She came to a step away from Zhi Rui and spoke in a small tone.
"Thank you for not taking mine." She giggled. To which Zhi Rui smiled. "I' don't steal from friends."
'Whatever she wants. I should speak her language.' Zhi Rui thought.
They talked trivial matter one after the other for at least twenty minutes, on one pause Zhi Rui spoke.
"It seems you're practicing something with spirits, I'm doing something similar myself. can you give me some tips about remnants spirits?"
Suddenly Xa Dayu froze in place, and she looked at Zhi Rui with intense eyes. then she laughed. As if she finally understood something. Nodding slightly. She gave Zhi Rui a smile and showed her a book. A very simple one.
Without names or anything.
"Touch it," Xa Dayu said after composing herself.
Zhi Rui did without hesitation, from the moment the book appeared it caught her attention, she felt familiar energy, the same kind, she felt with the condensed remnants spirits she gathered to push her cultivation forward.
those were thousands of remnant spirits. but this was a book.
When the tip of her finger touched the underside of the book Zhi Rui's conscience flew from her mind. and entered a wide white room with no walls or limits.
Suddenly it all disappeared, reducing itself in a small ball in front of Zhi Rui's forehead leaving the world dark.
Slowly, it touched her skin, hs felt a light burnt on her skin, but it successfully entered her mind. An astounding amount of knowledge lodged itself in Zhi Rui's mind, it formed a clustered grey ball that was slowly being corroded by Zhi Rui's red energy. small bits of knowledge was being processed in her conscience. she guessed that because her mind wouldn' be able to handle everything the 'book' took this form.
Knowledge about spirits, souls, and remant spirits, and it's part on the ascension to venerable level.
Zhi Rui in the real world as frozen in place. while the book disappeared in white smoke. Xa Dayu looked as it disappeared, and an understanding flash passed by her eyes.
When Zhi Rui regained conscience she hurriedly hid it and smile. "How was it?"
Zhi Rui stood in a daze without words. Suddenly she bowed. "Thank you." She said solemnly. Without hesitation, she took out one of the looted storage pouches and gave XA Dayu.
Zhi Rui did it because, while she didn't know where their relationship was going, she knew it wouldn't be wise to antagonize someone by not giving enough appreciation.
Xa Dayu chukled and took it for herself. Zhi Rui had obviously erased the name of who it belonged to, But Ca Dayu understood where it came from, with a laugh she waved and flew away on top of a pink cloud.
'That woman is too suspicious.' Zhi Rui thought
But the benefit she just won, was no small matter, it was memories of innumerable spirit controllers, and most of them manipulated ethereal energy to boot, it was simply heaven-sent to Zhi Rui. It was too convenient.
Zhi Rui's skin was still startled by the so well-timed gift. She was studying how to manipulate spirits better so hse could make better use of her ability with it, than the next day someone gives her a book with more than a millennium of spiritual experiences.
"...."
Zhi Rui turned to her crew. "Let's go back, there a lot for you people to do tomorrow."
Xia Chu walked out with an unresigned frown. While Zhi Rui followed with no expression, but the way she walked exuded coldness. Judging by their behavior no item was found.
Gao Fang frowned slightly.
