Most of the herbs she needed were very rare and grew in a very dangerous place where most of beasts and monster lived. No one could enter those places unless they were at least level four. This was why the herbs were selling at a very expensive price. One herb could sell for tens of thousands of dollars.
Therefore, her main task now was either to look for money or go and collect the herbs by herself.
Although her talent had not reached level four yet, she had the ability to teleport so she could still escape when it came to critical moments.
When she was thinking of the plan, she heard some noises outside her room so she immediately closed the crystal box and kept it in a safe place. After that, she picked up a book and lied down on her bed to read.
After a while, she noticed that there was some movement outside her room. A gentle voice could be heard saying, "Sixth sister, are you in the room?" It sounded like Gu Tianqing.
The maids outside had been ordered by Gu Xijiu to not let anyone come into the house without her permission.
Therefore, the maids stopped Gu Tianqing and Gu Tianyi from entering the room and told them that their master was not feeling well and was currently resting in the room. The two sisters doubted the maids’ explanations and came to check on her.
They gave a few reasons to enter into the room but were still stopped by the maid. It made them even more suspicious and Gu Tianyi even shouted, "Is your master not in the room?" and insisted to break into the room.
The two sisters were not weak plus the maid did not dare to fight with the two sisters so in just a while they managed to break into the room.
When they entered, they were shocked looking at the scene.
Gu Xijiu was lying on the bed with her pyjamas. Her hair was untied and she was holding a book in her hand. When she saw the two sisters break into the room, she spoke softly but her eyes were as sharp as a knife, "It is already late in the night, what is the purpose of both of you breaking into my room? Are you planning to rob or kill me?"
Gu Tianqing never expected that she was in the room. She was stunned for a moment and replied awkwardly, "Sixth sister, both of us are concerned about you. We are afraid that the servants are bullying you so we broke into the room to check. Why did you not respond?"
Gu Xijiu put down the book and said, "I have been used to the peaceful life and do not want to be disturbed. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Gu Tianqing could not answer anything whilst Gu Tianyi said angrily, "We are so kind to come and visit you…"
"Thank you, but I do not need it." Gu Xijiu talked even more softly, "Servants, please come!"
One of the maids who was standing outside came into the room and waited for an order.
"Who was the one who served outside the room just now? Please ask that person to come!"
The maid quickly went out and brought in two maids. Gu Xijiu stood up and stared at the two maids who kneeled in front of her, "Who is your master?!"
That two maids bowed and answered, "We are the maid of Ms. Xijiu and she is our master."
Gu Xijiu’s voice was even colder, "Since you know that I am your master, why didn’t you block these outsiders?"
That two maids apologized repeatedly, "I am sorry my master. I know that I am wrong."
Gu Xijiu said in a soft tone, "I am a person who values a peaceful life and I don't like to be disturbed. I have told you all before that without my permission, anyone who breaks into my room would be deemed as a thief. This time you failed to block them so it is considered as your mistake. As this is the first time you made a mistake, I will deal with it leniently. Each of you will get 10 beatings and salary reduction for six months. Are you pleased with this decision?"
Apparently, it had already been mentioned by Gu Xijiu before but no one had thought that she was serious about it. Now when Gu Xijiu ordered the punishment they could not complain. They had to accept the punishment.
After this, Gu Xijiu asked the housekeeper to bring the maid who did her best to block the two sisters and rewarded her for her good deed. On top of that, she also promoted this maid from a normal cleaning maid to her personal maid.
The reward and punishment process was simply a slap on the two sisters’ faces. Even before she finished the entire process, the two sisters could no longer stand still anymore.
Gu Tianyi groaned angrily and spoke, "You are so ridiculous. We are your sisters! What’s wrong with entering your house? Can’t we come into this house? This is the house of the Gu family…"
"Do you dare to break into father's study room directly? Do you dare to break into your mother's bed room directly?" Gu Xijiu asked with a cold tone.
Gu Tianyi choked and stuttered as she replied, "This... They are older than us so we definitely cannot simply enter into their rooms…"
"Then, what about your third sister's bedroom? Have you ever entered into her room without her permission?" Gu Xijiu stared at her and continued, "Or can it be said that your bedroom can be freely entered by all other sisters without your permission?"
Gu Tianyi was stuck. Her mouth was slightly ajar but she could not fight back.
Of course, their bedroom could not be freely entered, but all this while they never respected Gu Xijiu thus they were used to breaking into her room freely and sometimes they even beat her.
"Sixth sister, we never want to break into your bedroom but we are worried about you. Alright, since you are fine we can rest assured too. Tianyi, let's go back now." Gu Tianqing interrupted to end the conversation and she dragged Gu Tianyi who was still not too convinced to leave together with her.
"Listen to me. This is my space. Please expel anyone who breaks into my space and I will bear any consequences that results from it." Gu Xijiu gave a strict order to all her maids. Her voice was not loud but it was certainly very powerful.
"Yes, young lady!" The maid answered with an abnormally loud voice. After this incident, the maids could now dare to do anything to prevent a reoccurrence.
The two sisters also heard about her order. They were slightly stunned for a moment but then continued to walk back to their house.
The person who used to be bullied by them had become so strong and powerful. Besides this, she also frequently embarrassed them recently which had frustrated Gu Tianyi. On their way back to their house, she complained, "That b*tch is too arrogant! How dare she do this to us? Third sister, are we going to let her go just like this?"
Gu Tianqing did not answer.
"Third sister, do you think it is possible that she is possessed by some spirit? She has been acting like a different person…"
Gu Tianqing breathed lightly and answered, "If she is possessed by a spirit, her actions will be very slow and the eyes will look dull. It doesn't seem like it…"
