2320: Training

Training

The young sir did not say anything more. He glanced at Xiao He coldly and departed with a flick of his sleeve, leaving behind Xiao He and the others.1

Xiao He gritted her teeth in indignation. Speaking of which, her looks far surpassed this round-faced young girl next to her, yet she didn't expect for that young sir to not even look at her. He treated her like the dirt beneath his boots and did not care to spare her a glance.

While making her disgruntled, it also caused her to doubt herself.

Did her charms regress?

Otherwise, why did she successively get shamed by two young sirs in such a short period?

Noticing that the round-faced young girl was observing her, Xiao He hastily recollected herself and hung her head submissively, acting frail and helpless.

The round-faced young girl sized her up for a bit before throwing her six yellow talismans.

"You don't have any cultivation nor the slightest bit of mystic energy at all, so you can't activate high-rank talismans."

"Take these three mid-rank defensive talismans, two mid-rank speed talismans, and one mid-rank attack talisman for self-defense. They will save your life if you encounter any danger. You must remember to follow us closely once we enter the Eight Barren Mountains. You must not act on your own and provoke trouble."

Xiao He was stunned, after which she became ecstatic.

Wow! This young girl gave six valuable talismans to a servant she had just taken in less than an hour ago.

Although she was from a border town, she had heard that five-spirit talismans and the like could be sold at astronomical prices on the black market.

This young lady's identity must be very extraordinary!

She had such a good eye of discernment! She just knew she had found a good sponsor this time. As long as she worked hard in the future, she could definitely make it big!

The round-faced young girl caught up to her brother. She saw him lost in thought under an ancient banyan tree, his eyes trained on a certain point in the distance.

The round-faced young girl was somewhat confused.

She had never seen her brother show such an expression in the past.

Her brother always treated everyone and everything with an air of indifference.

Let alone her, who was only his sister by their father's concubine, her brother still treated his own sister, who was the clan's most gifted prodigy, with the same indifference. He was the same way toward his own mother.

Yet now, she glimpsed an unusual brilliance from his eyes!

The round-faced young girl looked curiously in the direction he was looking at. It was where the carriage had headed.

However, mystic horses were rather fast, and they had completely disappeared from sight by now.

"Brother, are you still looking?" The young girl couldn't hide her probing gaze.

The man spoke coolly, "We will rest for several hours and enter the mountains in the afternoon."

***

*Swish, swish. Swish—*

Qiao Mu and Mo Lian were roasting meat under a tree. The eight youths around them were currently hopping all over and activating talismans to attack… the annoying flies and mosquitoes in the forest.

Her Ladyship told them to do this!

In her words, it was to train their speed at activating talismans!

They had spent an entire five to six days drawing these attack talismans, wuwuwu…

Her Ladyship even said, you draw talismans to use them. If you don't use them, why are you drawing them?

However, they felt like the situation right now wasn't quite right.

Were their attack talismans just to be used against these mosquitoes?

Their hearts ached for their talismans!

"My lady! All the bugs within a kilometer radius have been exterminated!" Zou Huan jogged back eagerly to report.
