Capítulo 306: Convincing (Part 1)
"Young Miss, we brought him." The servant said.
Yue Qing was sitting, knitting a cloth. Even though she was knitting a cloth, she wasn't looking down. In fact, she just stared straight.
When she heard the servant's voice, she awoke from her focus. She moved her head to her left a little and asked,
"What did you say…"
"Young Miss, we brought the cultivator you were looking for."
"I see; send him inside, and you can leave."
She placed the cloth to her side on the bed and sat quietly.
Yang Zhai entered the room and looked around.
Now that's unexpected: this came to Yang Zhai's mind.
He saw a room, but unexpectedly, this room was small for the daughter of the clan leader.
It was slightly bigger compared to an ordinary room. Even though it was small, it was quite beautiful. The walls had wooden patterns drawn on them.
"Are you here… I didn't notice. Your footsteps are quiet.*
Yue Qing said this and stood up.
Yang Zhai silently looked at her.
She moved her left hand and touched the left-foot post of the bed.
After that, she slowly walked forward and said,
"Follow me,"
Yang Zhai didn't say anything and followed her.
Just as she was about to exit, she bumped into a small, round wooden stool placed slightly in front of the door. She nearly lost her balance but managed to steady herself by placing her hands on the stool, leaning forward in the process.
"I wonder who placed it here…"
She stood up straight and moved it to the side before she continued walking.
The door they left from was not the same as from where Yang Zhai entered the room. This door led to a garden.
Even though it was a garden, it had only five trees. There was a lake to the right. The left side had nothing except for a beautiful floor made of marble and glass; it was quite smooth. It seemed as though these marbles were shining and the water was running between these small rocks.
Right in the middle was located a gazebo. Behind the gazebo was an empty place and at the end were five trees.
"You see this garden? Well, I heard it's quite beautiful even though it's mostly empty. Let me tell you, I had planted many plants, but don't know why only five grew."
Yue Qing slowly walked forward and stopped in front of the lake. She didn't even go to the gazebo. She turned to her right and faced the lakeside.
"You know why I let you join our qafila back at the region of vulpia." She asked.
"I wanted to know this as well."
I remember that she noticed the Shadow Leopard before allowing me to join, but how did she do that? I am sure she is…: Yang Zhai contemplated and looked at Yue Qing.
"First let me ask you, are you also cultivating your body?"
When Yang Zhai heard this, his eyes narrowed.
How did she know? As I expected, she knew about my body cultivator, that's why she mentioned Dacite and Sap.
"Your silence tells me I am right. You know what, your Shadow Leopard was just one reason. Even if you didn't have that, I would have let you join us. I just acted to make you believe that I let you join because of the Shadow Leopard so that you wouldn't feel uneasy. Don't worry, I didn't have any ulterior motives either…"
She smiled slightly and continued.
"Oh, did I mention? I'm blind. Kind of funny, huh?" She said with a smile.
As I expected: Yang Zhai thought.
He had been suspicious of this ever since they entered Vulpia.
"This is ever since I was born. I never saw this world once. The reason I noticed the Shadow Leopard and your body cultivation is because of an ire my mom gave me when I was just a child. It lets me sense the essence of things."
"So, you see, I can't actually see and must depend on others."
"I see, but why did you call me here?"
Yang Zhai wasn't interested in knowing her story.
"For that, let's talk about the present first. Right now, I have quite an authority in this domain; even though I am mostly used by others for their benefit, I allow them, for if I don't, I will be left alone, and that would be even worse. In the past, my mom and my father fought for power, and that is how I became this powerful in this domain…"
"Fortunately, my father didn't hate me because of my mother; rather, he loves me. Anyway, I still ended up getting trapped in the schemes of my siblings. Even though they can't touch me nor can I, they can still get rid of me in many ways…"
"That's how a competition ended up happening. It's being held for me. In the past…"
Yue Qing became quiet suddenly and didn't say anything for a while.
Yang Zhai stood quietly.
"Wu Zhi tried to… I hope you understand. But Wu Zhu—I heard they look exactly the same—was the one to take the blame. A huge commotion broke out in my family, and my siblings took advantage of it. They managed to convince my father to marry me off to someone... do you know what they used as an argument?"
"As a result, information spread that the Eroh Domain was looking for someone to marry me to. As a result of this information, many high-end places came forward, even the people from the other continents."
"They say that I am quite beautiful. Even though I haven't seen it myself."
Yue Qing gently placed her hand over her mouth and smiled softly.
"My father wanted to choose, but because of the pressure and to not offend the others, a competition was decided. That's why the competition is being held. At first, only I was the price. No matter how good or evil a person is, no woman would want to marry like this. Even though I am blind, I too want to marry like others,"
"That's why, even though I couldn't do anything against my father, I managed to convince him to let me compete as well. But the condition was that I couldn't compete myself and had to follow the rules just like others."
"The rules were: Anyone below rank 6 was allowed. No person who wanted to marry me could compete themselves and must choose someone else to compete for them. Only Mastery Path cultivators were allowed.
"But, after finding you, I managed to convince my father to place two more things as the reward: Brown Dacite and the Sap Water. Both of them are rank 7. What do you think?"
When Yang Zhai heard this, he was silent. This girl was something.
She truly understands the way of making a deal. I can't just agree with her as this involves many high-end places and almost many continents. She knew this and that she would need this much to convince me to help her. I am impressed: Yang Zhai smiled slightly.
"I noticed that your body is giving up on you. Your veins can burst anytime if you keep on using more strength. Even if the muscles burst as it would give you only pain, it doesn't matter as long as the bones and the veins are fine. As for the skin, it is just a defense. So, the two most important things you require are these two, right?"
Yue Qing turned around and walked closer to Yang Zhai.
After that, she moved away.
Yang Zhai didn't do anything. He knew this girl was intelligent and wouldn't do something as hurting him right beside her room.
