Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1273: A Love Letter?

”Hey, isn’t it easier to walk in a place like this?” Qhianqhian looked at the horse carriage with a bit of amusement and shook her head helplessly, but since this was someone else’s family matter, she didn’t care.

Seeing the expressions on Hua Nianyi and Old General Hua’s faces, it was clear they were deeply moved, evidently touched by Hua Sicheng’s attention to detail.

Qhianqhian really didn’t want to say that she also had a bicycle, but considering her cycling skills, she’d better not—afraid of dying.

Breaking an arm or leg in this place isn’t a small matter, okay? Without plaster, would they use wooden boards to keep it fixed?

”Actually, having a carriage is nice too, Yiyi can sleep in it at night.” Qhianqhian walked up and patted Hua Nianyi’s shoulder with a light smile.

Unexpectedly, a guard bowed to Qhianqhian and handed her a parcel: ”This is from the Junior General for Miss Shiqi.”

”For me?” Qhianqhian looked dumbfounded as she received the parcel, patted Hua Nianyi to stop him from crying, and then walked back to the front with the parcel.

After Qhianqhian left, Hua Siye frowned at Old Master Hua, ”Dad, could it be that big brother is interested in Shiqi...”

Hua Nianyi also slightly frowned, ”Big brother knows perfectly well that Shiqi is not someone he can desire; it must be about something else. Second brother, stop overthinking and help drive the carriage.”

Qhianqhian felt a bit uneasy holding the parcel. When she opened it beside Yan and the others, she was surprised to find a box and several sheets of letter paper inside.

Unfolding the letter paper, she appreciated the clean pages. Although the handwriting was neat, there wasn’t much script, which made it soothing to look at.

After quickly skimming through the content, Qhianqhian’s mouth twitched, and she handed the letter to Yan: ”Impressive effect, worth celebrating.”

Since their departure, only three days had passed, and in that time, most of the Flower Sect had lost their combat abilities, barely clinging to life, and had even refused the royal physicians from entering to treat them, leaving them to recover on their own. All those who lost their combat abilities were women, weak as if they had undergone a severe sickness.

”Hehe, afraid it won’t get any better for them,” Yan said coldly. ”A Fire Spiritual Body cultivated afterward will wreak havoc unless suppressed by a Water Spirit Body. They can’t control their behavior due to burning desires, even though they knew the consequences, they still cultivated it.”

”What’s this Fire Spiritual Body? I remember you mentioning something about a Water Spiritual Body before, were you referring to me?” Qhianqhian curiously asked upon hearing Yan’s explanation.

”Yes, you have a Water Spiritual Body. Practicing the water attribute cultivation technique gives you a natural advantage, and single attribute affinity is known as a Spiritual Body,” Yan nodded, handing the letter to Huangfu Yihui. ”Cultivating a Fire Spiritual Body afterward requires an initial Fire Spiritual Body as a catalyst, alongside various fire attribute heavenly materials and elixirs. It’s costly, and after twenty years, you’ll see initial results. But since it wasn’t original, it leads to intense internal fire and desires, hindering normal thoughts and cultivation if not relieved.”

”Wait, using a primary Fire Spiritual Body as a catalyst? Does that mean someone dies?” Qhianqhian asked subconsciously.

”That’s correct, and it might not succeed every time,” Yan spoke in a very calm tone. ”The Fire Spiritual Body is the only spiritual body that can be cultivated afterward, so despite knowing the downsides, people go to great lengths to do it.”

”Can a Spiritual Body be identified at first glance?” Qhianqhian suddenly felt surrounded by danger, her eyes flashing with fear.

”There are specialized detection instruments,” Yan casually took out a crystal stone the size of a fist. ”This is a Water Spirit Crystal, watch closely.”

Yan stood a little further, holding the crystal stone as he walked towards Huangfu Yihui, and there was no reaction. But as Yan gradually approached Qhianqhian,

the crystal stone suddenly lit up, floating from Yan’s hand, and gradually flew towards Qhianqhian, its speed increasing until it stopped in her outstretched hand, glowing brightly.

Even the Hua Family, who were whispering, turned their eyes over.

Yan calmly put away the Water Spirit Crystal: ”With just a small piece, it can detect the presence of a Water Spiritual Body. It’s not that you’re identified, but rather betrayed by the crystal’s affinity for water. Other than a Water Spiritual Body, no matter how pure your water attribute is, it won’t react.”

Qhianqhian wore a wry smile: ”Where can I find this thing? Should I take a stroll and gather Water Spirit Crystals all over me?”

”Don’t worry, you won’t go to that place,” Yan was full of calm assurance. ”Besides, it’s expensive, something not just anyone can afford.”

”You have it, don’t you?”

Qhianqhian glanced at Yan, feeling somewhat relieved that it couldn’t be identified at a glance.

”But... did you two read the entire letter?” Huangfu Yihui asked, his tone quite peculiar as he looked at the two of them.

”Yeah, didn’t it just say something about the Flower Sect? And that father and sons asked us to look after them? Anything else?” Qhianqhian seemed relaxed: ”But he really knew us, understanding our concern with the Flower Sect, hahaha.”

”You should take a look yourself,” Huangfu Yihui directly stuffed the letter into Qhianqhian’s hands and awkwardly walked to the side.

Qhianqhian flipped through the papers and finally saw on the back of the last sheet two lines of words expressing affection, which cast an awkward atmosphere in the present forest scene.

Qhianqhian silently returned the box to Hua Nianyi, placing it on the carriage, without any intention to take it further: ”I can’t accept this, give it back to your brother.”

Hua Nianyi was taken aback before nodding, wearing an apologetic expression: ”Sorry for troubling you, Shiqi, don’t mind it.”

”It’s nothing,” Qhianqhian lightly shook her head and smiled at Hua Nianyi: ”We are friends; this won’t affect us.”

Watching Qhianqhian walk back, Hua Nianyi frowned as he opened the box and sighed heavily. Inside lay a jade green bracelet and a small wooden figure resembling Qhianqhian.

”Really decisive, Shiqi,” Hua Nianyi said with a bitter smile, addressing his father and brother nearby.

”Your brother is truly moved, but alas, the object of his affection is wrong,” Old Master Hua looked at the jade bracelet in the box, filled with mixed emotions. It was something that had belonged to his late wife, so naturally, he recognized it.

”Big brother has good taste, but unfortunately, he’s not good enough himself,” Hua Siye also commented.

Qhianqhian’s strength was evident; she was a member of the Nine Heavens Pavilion and had already gained fame across the continent, far out of reach for a mere General’s Mansion.

”Sigh...” Countless emotions ultimately turned into a sigh.

”What’s up, not interested in someone?” Haan Yun caught up with Qhianqhian, watching her with amusement, ”Beside you, who isn’t remarkable?”

”You’re overthinking, don’t be so nosy,” Qhianqhian rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

Seeing Qhianqhian’s actions, Huangfu Yihui’s expression relaxed slightly.
