Path Of The Lilies 139 Returning Back

Four hours pa.s.sed swiftly. As their time was almost up, both Lu Wan and Ye Jiao walked out of the library. Lin Jie had gone out first because his time was up earlier compared to the other two.

"Did you find what you want to know?" Lu Wan asked as he walked out of the door.

Ye Jiao nodded. "I do. How about you, Senior Brother Yu?"

When they were posing as a.s.sa.s.sins, she always called Lu Wan using his other name: Yu Shui. This was done to make sure that no one would be able to trace them back to their real ident.i.ty.

After all, the Lu Family was quite famous in this Kingdom and using it would give away Lu Wan's ident.i.ty right away.

"I found something interesting. We're going to the right hall for a few minutes."

"Alright."

Lu Wan walked to the counter and approached the shopkeeper. "Excuse me."

"Is there anything I can help?"

"I want a stack of Moon Dew Gra.s.s."

"Alright," the shopkeeper headed to the back and returned with blue gra.s.s on his hand. Lu Wan's eyes sparkled a bit when he saw the Moon Dew Gra.s.s on the shopkeeper's hand. "It's 3 points."

"You can take it from here," Lu Wan pa.s.sed his badge and the shopkeeper worked swiftly to take the necessary point. He returned it soon afterwards and the two of them walked out of the hall as the next people headed to the shopkeeper.

Ye Jiao eyed the gra.s.s curiously. "Why do you want this gra.s.s?"

"There are a few combinations that I want to try. Normally, Moon Dew Gra.s.s is not poisonous, but with a bit tampering, I can change the core essence. This gra.s.s is quite famous for making many kinds of medicine and poison," Lu Wan explained.

"I see."

"Let's return back home. It'll be spring soon."

"Got it."

When it was spring, the spring hunt would start. There was less than a week for the season to change, so they had to hurry. Even though the spring hunt wouldn't start immediately, there were still some preparations they had to do.

One of them was obviously Lu Wan's training in swords. If he showed up with that mediocre skill, there was no doubt that his father would skin him alive. He would become a disgrace of the Lu Family, so it would be better for Lu Wan to learn at least a bit.

When the two of them returned back to the capital city, it was already the beginning of spring season.

"People from the other three kingdoms are going to come here," Lu Wan sighed. "It's going to be busy here."

"The three kingdoms are Cao Kingdom, Chi Kingdom, and Barbarian Kingdom, right?"

"Yes. It seems that you do have some knowledge about them."

Ye Jiao scratched the back of her head. Her mother did teach her a bit of geography, but she didn't know that much about them because there was only a short period of time for her to study back then. Even now, she hadn't had the chance to study them again.

"My brother will surely ask me to learn again. At that time, you should join in."

"Got it."

The two of them strolled on the street as Ye Jiao looked around. Compared to the previous time, there were a lot of people walking around. The temperature was still low with some snow left, but the people already came out of their residences and busy with their activities.

"Xiao'er, let's…."

"You insolent! Do you think that I would want to pay for this trash with 5 gold coins? Are you taking me for an idiot!"

The two of them froze in their place when they heard the sudden yell. Their head turned to the source of the voice as they saw a woman yelled with a young girl by her side, trying to calm her mother down.

"isn't that Su Lian?"

"Yes," Lu Wan nodded his head. "That woman's temper seems to grow worse over the past few years."

Ye Jiao looked at that gorilla like woman with confusion. She knew that Su Lian was short tempered, but it seemed like this woman has fallen even lower with her att.i.tude.

When she was about to walk away, she heard the whispering of people around her.

"That madam of the Wei Family is really too much."

"She's truly a spendthrift and always makes things hard for everyone around her."

"Yeah, even after she fell from grace, she always acts like she's above everyone. If not because there's Wei Family behind her, I doubt that she's going to survive."

"Right! Doesn't she realize that power rule over anything else?"

Ye Jiao blinked her eyes when she heard their conversation. She turned her head to Lu Wan as confusion filled her eyes. "Can you explain to me what they mean by falling from grace?"

"Don't you know that your mother destroyed Su Lian's core when she departed from Wei Family Residence?" Lu Wan asked back.

"What?" Ye Jiao was stunned. She did try to search for a method to recover one's core because she was afraid that it would happen to her. Little did she know that there was truly a case like that near her.

Lu Wan yawned. "Anyway, with her talent, it'll be a miracle for her to become Eon Energy Master again. Recovering one's core takes a long time and her talent is simply too poor for it…Hey, Xiao'er, are you listening?"

Right now, Ye Jiao's mind was thinking of something as her vision was staring blankly. Even though she had never learned how to scheme to other people, her mind worked naturally to think of a method to make use of this information for her advantage.

However, the result from her scheme might even affect everyone in Wei Family, including those innocent ones if there were any.

"Ah, yeah?"

"Why are you suddenly blanked out?" Lu Wan waved his hand in front of Ye Jiao's face. "Are you perhaps thinking of something important."

"I'm just thinking that it's good that Su Lian lost her core," Ye Jiao replied in a low tone. If that woman heard her, she feared that things wouldn't end up too peaceful.

"She deserves it."

"Yes?"

"There are a lot of people who hate Su Lian because of her arrogance, so not many would sympathize with her. Instead, they're glad that the woman experienced this," Lu Wan said calmly as he started to walk again. In truth, even he himself felt glad when he heard what had happened to Su Lian. It was because he also hated her and how that woman treated others were horrible.

"I won't even find it weird if everyone in the Wei Family Residence experiences a disaster. In fact, I'll be glad if that happened. There's not a single one of the people over there who's decent. They would bully the weak and take advantage of those who couldn't fight back."

As Ye Jiao listened to Lu Wan, she recalled how she was also bullied back in Wei Family Residence. The helplessness she experienced as she was too weak was something printed clear in her mind and heart.

Even the servants purposely treated her badly.

They wanted to be the superior one, so they put someone who couldn't fight back to the bottom. And her, without any ounce of strength couldn't possibly fight back. They were Eon Energy Masters, capable of fighting and at that time, she was nothing more than a young girl who had only started her path in martial arts.

"Yeah, you're right. I won't find it weird too."

Lu Wan didn't take the matter to the heart as he continued walking. Little did he know that the conversation he had with his junior sister that day would be the fuse needed to start the girl's revenge.

The type of revenge that would make people shuddered when they heard it in the future. It was the story that they pa.s.sed down to their children and warned them over and over again to never bully the weak.

But now, nothing has happened, yet.
