Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1321: Chapter 1301: Nine Heavens Pavilion Is Short of Odd Jobs

”Then I’ll trouble Shiqi to take care of us.” Huangfu Yihui didn’t pay much attention to Luo Qianqian’s attitude. After all, they were only here in name and wouldn’t reside long in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, just like Luo Qianqian. They were also here for training.

It’s like this in any sect or family. Even if the sect backing Southern Li is the Fire Cloud Sect, so what? The Fire Cloud Sect is not named Huangfu and wouldn’t offer him support just because he’s a promising talent. They wouldn’t care about his well-being. The Fire Cloud Sect is so big, they naturally wouldn’t care about what happens to Southern Li. Even if Southern Li perished, they’d simply support another Southern Li.

The Nine Heavens Pavilion has their friends, which is much better than other unfamiliar places. After all, the existence of the Forget Worries Tea House makes the Nine Heavens Pavilion renowned, though not as famous as sects like the Fire Cloud Sect or Snow Palace, yet it’s known to everyone. This is because of Luo Shiqi, Luo Shiqi of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, the first on the Star Path.

”Haha, it’s no trouble, no trouble at all. But when the time comes, I’ll have to trouble you two to join the Sect Conference with me.” Luo Qianqian’s expression was full of excitement, her small hands rubbing together in anticipation, her eyes sparkling with undisguised excitement, making her appear straightforwardly adorable to the two.

After all, to them, Luo Qianqian had shown kindness. Even if there were no such matters, as long as Luo Qianqian asked, they would consider it.

There’s a saying, ”Better be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.”

Huangfu Yihui was slightly taken aback but nodded.

Even if the two brothers peacefully entered the Fire Cloud Sect, they wouldn’t have the chance to participate in the Sect Conference. In a place where the strong are respected, no one cares about the so-called prince status.

Moreover, there are so many countries on the continent, and harem palaces in those countries are large, encountering a few princes along the way isn’t surprising.

”By the way, don’t you have any other thoughts?” Luo Qianqian asked with a glint of excitement in her eyes, ”I suddenly realized that what they want might already be in our hands?”

As she spoke, she pulled the Dragon Vein Key out from her bosom, her face showing a seriousness mixed with excitement. ”If the dragon vein can determine the prosperity of a nation, losing it means that even with support, they are doomed to fail. By then, you two could completely take the dragon vein and create your own country!”

”Though it’s said so,” Yan calmly interrupted Luo Qianqian’s fanciful thoughts, ”Have you ever considered what needs possession to exist?”

”A soul without a body... No, the Otherworld!” Luo Qianqian suddenly realized that she seemed to have been oversimplifying things. Although she knew the Otherworld might have invaded the Cultivation World, she just wasn’t willing to accept it.

That’s why she stubbornly thought it needed Huangfu Yihui’s body, assuming it was the soul of someone who had died long ago.

But the fact that no soul possessions were happening here perhaps indicated that souls couldn’t possess bodies. After death, one loses the ability to live with a physical body.

Neither Xuan Ming nor Bai Ze truly exists in reality, whether they are strong or weak...

Looking at Luo Qianqian’s expression, Yan remained calm, but the other two’s faces changed, realizing why they resisted investigating the matter deeply all along.

The Otherworld, which they fundamentally couldn’t contend with, savage and cruel, seemed to bear all the negative connotations.

Staring blankly at Luo Qianqian, a flicker of realization appeared in Huangfu Yihui’s eyes, ”Shiqi, thank you.”

He couldn’t dare imagine if he became such a puppet, how those who cared for him would treat him...

”We are friends.” Luo Qianqian smiled at Huangfu Yihui, though her face was full of seriousness.

Once, she insisted on moving everyone to the Cultivation World, largely because she was frightened by the Otherworld events.

If she hadn’t possessed some cultivation level back then, she might have been...

Shaking her head slightly, she dared not ponder too deeply.

”Let’s go. Since they’ve targeted Southern Li, perhaps other countries have already been targeted too.” Yann Yao said calmly, ”From now on, let’s reduce acting alone. If something happens to one, there’s someone to send for help.”

Though that was said, Luo Qianqian just nodded, a strange expression still visible on her face.

If it wasn’t known that mortal bodies couldn’t withstand an Otherworld invasion, she’d suspect Hua Sicheng wasn’t himself anymore.

It’s very odd. She should have kindness towards the Hua Family. Although they’ve lost rank, the entire family remains unharmed.

Furthermore, Hua Nianyi is with Haan Yun now. Given such circumstances, what reason would Hua Sicheng have to harm her?

”Where to?” Unable to make sense of it, she decided not to dwell on it; answers would reveal themselves in time. Luo Qianqian wasn’t one to obsess over such things.

Surrounded by threats, pursued by enemies, ahead lay unknown dangers. Where to train before the Sect Conference was itself a question.

”Back to the Nine Heavens Pavilion.” Luo Qianqian took a deep breath, a determined look on her face, ”We head northwards. Once out of Southern Li, we’ll catch a Flying Chicken. The Otherworld... There are still some issues on that end of the Nine Heavens Pavilion.”

”Even the Nine Heavens Pavilion has been...” Huangfu Yihui instantly widened his eyes, a hint of unease in his gaze at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian gently shook her head, ”Not yet at the Nine Heavens Pavilion, and it’s not easy to explain briefly.”

How did the Otherworld come into being, evoking fear in everyone?

But why would some still collaborate with the Otherworld? Southern Li is undoubtedly a major power on the continent, yet why hasten its ruin?

What good would come from associations with the Otherworld?

Luo Qianqian always remembered those eyes, memories fresh each time she woke from midnight dreams.

That red-clad figure fell into her arms just like that.

A breeze stirred the hem of the red garment, echoing within her memories.

”Then let’s go. If those behind us catch one, we kill one; if ten, we kill ten!” Yann Yao glared at the wound on Huangfu Yihui’s arm, eyes narrowing slightly, not hiding his anger, the tight line of his mouth conveying his mood.

”Mm.” Huangfu Yihui naturally noticed the scars on Yann Yao’s back. Hearing Yann Yao’s words at this moment, he too displayed a hint of coldness on his face.

Previously, he was a carefree prince. Now, carrying insurmountable hate, he wouldn’t be so gentle anymore.

”You two should take it easy; if we encounter someone, leave it to me. I’ve been meaning to train my skills these days, so just rest and heal up.” Luo Qianqian looked calmly at the two, smiling softly, ”Heal up so you can return with me and work—Nine Heavens Pavilion is very short-staffed.”

Listening to Luo Qianqian’s words, Huangfu Yihui’s expression softened, filled with a touch of helplessness, tucking Luo Qianqian’s concern in his heart, and he turned to look behind him.

From now on, he was no longer that Prince of Southern Li...
