Murim Recurve Chapter 125
Advertisement
The moment Suu noticed the figure of Re'Kha alight from the cycle rickshaw, she sighed in relief, "I was anxious, lady Re'Luk. If you were late any longer, I would have visited the market myself."
"I had a good company this time, so we didn't see the track of time." Re'Kha apologised. They only stopped their shopping spree when the shops were being closed.
Suu was the granddaughter of the servant Sii. She was the only one who usually attended to the needs of Re'Kha in the house. She helped Re'Kha carry the large shoulder bag Re'Kha had brought with her, taking it to her room.
Contained in the bag were a lot of clothes, accessories, and some items of interest she had grabbed. Re'Kha also bought a lot of fasting pills. They were round balls the size of her thumb. Each ball was enough for one meal. And, they had a shelf life of one year.
So, in the case when she was travelling, they would prove a lot useful. Re'Kha bought 30 of them just in case and stored them in her storage space. Once she had removed the food ration and the spare clothes stuffed in them, there was a lot of free space.
Moreover, she had yet to pay for the armour, the spare elemental sword, and the two Harpen Waves imitations. She planned to use 1 RuQi coins to pay them, thereby reducing the weight in her bag.
She had already given all the medicines she had stolen from the Ju Clan's western settlement to Mu'Tua, saying they were something she had looted from her pursuers. Mu'Tua didn't ask for details, knowing what to do with them.
It was also a mode Re'Kha used to pay Mu'Tua for taking care of her. As she knew she would be imposing on her a lot, she wished to at least repay a small part of it in this manner.

Once she placed the shoulder bag in her room, Suu handed Re'Kha a letter, "This letter arrived in the evening, my lady. It was addressed to you."
"Thank you," Re'Kha nodded.
"It's late, my lady. If you are hungry, shall I make something for you?" Suu asked.
"It's fine. I already ate my fill in the market." Re'Kha waved her hand, motioning for the servant Suu to close the door.
Re'Kha sat on the table, increasing the brightness of the oil lantern by adjusting the position of its wick. She then opened the letter, smiling upon guessing the sender.
"Re'Shi…" Re'Kha read the letter with a smile. She already knew who it would have been from the moment she received the letter. Mu'Tua had informed her that she already relayed the message of her survival to her dad. Moreover, to prevent her mother from sniffing out her position, he was warned by Mu'Tua to not send her a letter.
Therefore, the only person that would still send her a letter would be Burmat Re'Shi. She was surprised he managed to track her whereabouts so soon. It meant he still had some trusted subordinates by his side.
Re'Kha read the letter, seeing how there were no names written in it, "I made it safely to the city. Let's meet during noon in the restaurant with a similar name to the one we first met in."
"Haha," Re'Kha laughed, "It's good that you have managed to get here."
Similar to her, Burmat Re'Shi too was broiled in political schemes. His stepmother wished to give more power to her children and strip power from him, who was next in line to succeed the Burmat Re Clan.
So, she tried many ways to secretly chip away at his health and mental sanity through numerous schemes. If it wasn't for her wishing to destroy him without leaving any pieces of evidence behind, she would have had numerous chances to kill him.

After all, despite his talents, Burmat Re'Shi wasn't as strong as Burmat Re'Kya, who had more time to develop. Moreover, as his father was in the Bura Fort, most of the Clan's power was controlled by her. So, there were a lot of eyes on him, not giving him the freedom to even breathe safely.
The fact that he still managed to weave his way towards Burfuna City displayed his wit.
Re'Kha exited her room, soon finding the servant Suu, "Are there any restaurants named after lakes?"
Suu thought for a moment before replying, "There is the Bright Lake Restaurant, Petal Lake Restaurant, Ripple Lake Restaurant…"
"How many Ripple Lake Restaurants are there?" Re'Kha interjected.
"There's only one, but it is a bit far. You would have to enter the Southern District for that," The servant Suu said.
"I need to meet someone there tomorrow afternoon. At what time should I depart?"
"Sometime late in the morning would be enough. There is a route with fewer turns to it. So, you can reach it quite early."
"Thank you," Re'Kha returned to her room, falling asleep immediately. The next morning, she was woken up early by Suu to receive the delivery.
Re'Kha took the armour, Rigid Water, and the three elemental weapons from the shop's servant. She gave him a bag filled with money, mostly of 1 RuQi coins. The servant quickly counted through the coins in the bag, double-checking to ensure the amount was correct.
Once it was done, he bowed and walked away.
Re'Kha returned to her room, inspecting the items to see they were the same she had chosen in the shop. She then activated the armour, smiling upon sensing the dense amount of Water Qi it emitted.
'The density it emits is almost 1 unit of Water Qi.' Re'Kha smiled, feeling that it was a steal she had obtained the armour. It would improve her defensive aspects a lot when she fights the Blinded Ghost the next time.
She kept all the items in her storage space, seeing how it was almost full once again. The armour was only a piece of cloth, so once folded, Re'Kha could easily store it in the storage space.
She then got ready, wearing one of the dresses she had bought the previous day. As Mu'Tua hadn't returned yet, she informed the servant Suu and hailed a cycle rickshaw, excited at seeing Re'Shi once again.

The Event Master
It is a reincarnation/transmigration story where the MC can only do magic that is socially condemned, but is protected somewhat by his powerful political station. For as long as he can keep it, anyway. With a little luck and some modern world thinking, perhaps he'll come up with something to change people's minds. Not forcefully though, that would be unethical. ** The MC is not a fighter. He's a gamer. He loves rpgs, movies, modern music, and telling stories. I intend to post at least once a week in the range of 2k words. If work eases up I'll increase the amount again. ((Work has instead intensified to the point where I'm struggling to get a chapter every two weeks. I'll pick it back up properly when I can, but for now it is on temporary hiatus while I still might post every once and awhile. This winter, I plan to go back to regular posts until the story finishes.))
