《I will absolutely cultivate》Chapter 16: Visitors
Advertisement
I'm currently standing at the inn's roof while carrying Ruzi, I activated the mirage spell to hide us from the people's eyes. I looked down at the people below, as they busied themselves at making the Villager look more presentable and all. They have been occupied at making the village look presentable in front of the nobility, today is their deadline, as the Cui Clan's younger generation will arrive.
The Cui Clan is an intermediate Clan from the capital, a completely normal Clan with normal Clan members licking the boots of the higher ups, plotting against each other and with some elders eyeing the position of the head. I remember that one time that they tried to make connections with the people from the Dou Manor but were strictly sent away by Steward Li.
Three days ago, a letter arrived at the village head's house, the letter was from the Cui Clan, informing the whole Smaol village of the arrival of the Cui Clan's younger generation, the letter stated that if the younger generation 'supposed' did have a good stay on this borderline. Then the Cui Clan wouldn't be stingy, and they would reward the whole village with appropriate reward. I doubt they'd do that, though.
--
I've also sent Sona to take a look at the people that the Cui Clan sent to train on the Minor Beast Forest, if they really are just some arrogant midgets and some half-ass escort then, I won't have to do a thing. But if perhaps, some kind of person wanted to really train, then I'll have to avoid them.
From afar I could vaguely make out of Sona's figure, she blended quite well within the busy crowds, she didn't stood out and just walked casually towards the inn.
I made my way down the window, swift and agile, not making a single sound, even closing the window on my back. As soon as I landed, Ruzi immediately jumped down and run towards the bed.
Sona opened the door, seeing me she slightly bowed, she then closed the door.
"Master, the one aboard the carriage are, Cui Miao, Cui Leng, Cui Shi Li, Cui Mi Li, and Cui Zi Zi their guards are the 6th elder and 7th elder."
"Hoo~ Is that so." hearing the names of the members of the Cui Clan, my smile couldn't get any wider, these guys could be said that they are below the average on their clan, with their only backbone are their parents. These kids are narrowminded through and through. In short they won't be a problem, if it was some sort of smart-ass arrogant kid then they would try to get close to me by waving their Family backgrounds.

"Young Miss-- May I ask a question?"
"Hmm? Ah, yeah~"
"Should we not move out as soon as possible as to avoid getting involved with people from the capital?" Sona curiously asked, one had just to know how calculating Steward Li, is. Although Stewad Li was the one who bought Sona in the Dou Manor, Sona was one who distinguish the right from wrong and wasn't easily swayed by money.
"Ah-- you may not know it, but these guys are absolute trash, although the rumors say that they are fair, right, and ally of justice etc. They are scumbags who uses their Clan's name to commit crimes~ But.... I'm quite curious at that kid Cui Leng, he's the current head's favorite grandson, although he have some few screw looses on his head, he's got potential in cultivating, it was quite a sight y'know? Just that.. Why would the headmaster send over his grandson with some half ass guard?" My mouth formed a calculative smile, as I started to calculate the possibilities.
"Eh? Half-ass.... but Young Miss, the 6th and 7th elder of the Cui Clan has reached the peak of 6th level of Mortal realm-- Ah-- Young Miss, this may be rude, but can I ask what rank are you?"
"Oh, me? Well-- We'll have to wait until we get our hands on a Measuring Crystal." I shrugged my shoulders.
Measuring Crystals are the one used in measuring a mage's rank. You'll have to attack the Crystal then the Crystal would show different kinds of color depending on your rank. In short you can totally manipulate it in a test. There are too many loopholes, right?
Measuring Crystals are afterall mainly used by commoners, nobles and royalty's use a Temple to measure their strength, affinity and levels. There are 8 temples within this continent which was built by 3 Emperor Ranked cultivator.
_______
After being deliberately bombarded by the mother and daughter pair, Aunt Eshma and her daughter Wu Lie., and it seems like they even invited some girls from the neighborhood to pester me. Girl's are really scary when they want to get noticed by someone they like, right? I know it myself and experience. So, I've decided to just stay inside the room and accompany Ruzi. Since I've also collected the information about the villagers.
I collected the information on each individual to ensure that none of them are a spy that's currently on search of Ruzi. Well, there are some spies but none of them are targeting Ruzi.

'Uhum.. What bullshit is this?' I can't help but frown at the shitty book that I'm reading, this was one of the popular book on this Village, the story is about a Man's journey as he achieved wealth and fame and earned the heart of 7 beautiful ladies, then they became 3 wives and 4 concubines that lived harmony because they loved the man so deeply and they didn't want to see the man aggrieve, and so they lived happily ever after.
'What are you saying?! There is no woman that is willing to share their hus--' While thinking this, I suddenly remember the article that I've read on internet, a man. husband of 6, or was it 7 wives? He even had 3 child per wife. Where have I read it again?
While I was deep in thought on Polygamy, my ears picked up the noise outside the village.
"Oooh! As expected of the Cui Clan!"
"Awesome!! A 3rd rank Fire Rabbit!"
"Oh, look at their blades! Isn't that an enhanced magic sword?! Awesome!"
People continued to shout excitedly. Ruzi's face frowned deeply and his face distorted, I activated a sound proof spell around the room, Isolating us from the sound outside. Ah, Ruzi is right now having his afternoon-nap he should sleep well so he grows up in a tall handsome young lad!
Ruzi's face relaxed as he continue his sleep.
I opened the window and looked outside, the kids from the Cui Family are around 14-15 years old. So they really enjoy flaunting their mini-wealth, why did I say mini-wealth? Any person from the capital at least own an enhanced weapon, it's really cheap on the capital, since any mage could basically enhance a weapon.
That kid's Enhanced Sword is only at 3rd Mortal realm. Too low! Even if you're a scumbag member of the Cui Clan shouldn't you atleast own a 6th rank Mortal Realm weapon? Since the elder beside you is at the 6th Mortal Realm. After looking at them for a minute I quickly got bored.
I'll just cultivate.
--- Days passed peacefully, no I deliberately made so that it would be peaceful. Until a certain Merchant came.
***
Merchant Xu looked at the arrogant kids and he couldn't help but sigh.
'Aii- Those are kids from an influential family, but look at their attitude.'
Merchant Xu is a travelling merchant who coincidentally stopped at the Smaol Village to restock food, supplies and other resources needed for his travel.
"Uncle Xu, it's your turn" Hearing the voice, uncle Xu looked in front of him, the youngster facing him, carried an scholarly aura, he looked dignified and at the same time unapproachable. But his alluring smile contracted that, it was as if he is a fire leading the mayflies.
'Ah... This is what you call a true noble' Uncle Xu thought, but quickly shifted his gaze down on the chess board.
"Guh--- wha--" Uncle Xu looked at the chessboard with wide eyes, then looked back at the youth in front of him.
"Gah-- I lost, I lost..." Uncle Xu waved his hands, and sighed as he reclined on his sit.
Although he was not an expert in chess, he was still recognized by the mass of people.. And to think this youngster in front of him would finish him in three moves... Really...
'Hai. I must be getting old, huh.' He shook his head as a bitter smile flashed across his face.
"Uhn, Uncle Xu, are you really leaving tomorrow?" The red-haired youth suddenly asked. Uncle Xu looked at the youth with a perplexed expression, but by passed it.
"Yeah.. What? What is it kid, you'll miss this uncle?" Uncle Xu joked the red-haired youth.
"......" The youth's face flashed with an incredible disgust as if he just got a bunch of maggots forced onto his mouth.
"W-what, I was just joking,! I don't swing that way! What part of me looks like I swing that way?! I've got concubines and kids on my own y'know?! And no way in hell will I lay my eyes on kids!" Uncle Xu, realizing what was on the other party's mind quickly tried to explain himself.
