After Her Mother Remarried, The Metaphysical Princess Became Famous in the Capital

After failing her tribulation, the Grand Elder of the Xuan Sect reincarnated as a little village girl in a remote area! Her father was dead, and her mother was remarrying!

Her stepfather was ...

Chapter 8 This girl is acting strangely

She did want to try to calculate it with her fingers, but then she thought that since the two leaders hadn't shown their faces, it would be too much trouble to try and figure it out by force.

She's currently in an ordinary body, so she can't afford to waste her soul power out of curiosity.

She dismissed the idea.

Just then, the five people who had rushed over suddenly tightened the reins and stopped.

Jiang Xianya was climbing down the mountainside when she was almost knocked over by one of the horses. In a moment of panic, she grabbed a vine on the mountainside to avoid it, and all the wild raspberries she was carrying fell to the ground.

These were wild raspberries that she had picked for more than fifteen minutes.

The man who almost bumped into her was dressed in gray and wore a black iron mask. He didn't even look at Jiang Xianya, but took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it at her: "This is for you."

Jiang Xianya did not reach out to take it; the silver ingot fell to the ground and rolled a few times.

They have money but refuse it!

The men's eyes immediately fell on Jiang Xianya.

Although Jiang Xianya was wearing patched coarse cloth clothes, she had cultivated Taoism for many years, and even though she was still a young girl, she still had the aura of a powerful figure in her bones, only that was somewhat diluted by her slightly childish face.

Even so, her calm and unhurried demeanor was something a young girl her age could never possess.

Besides, she resembled her mother, Ye Miaoyun, and was very beautiful; even her coarse clothes couldn't hide it.

Although she grew up in the countryside, often picking tea in the mountains and working every day, she was still a young girl. When she went out, she would almost always wear a straw hat and cover her face with coarse cloth. In addition, she was naturally beautiful, so her skin was still fair. Her beautiful eyes had both the innocence of a young girl and the calmness of a Xuanmen master who knew everything.

"Miss." The man who almost bumped into her suddenly lifted the black iron mask from his face, revealing an extremely handsome face, and smiled at her with exceptional radiance.

"I'm so sorry, I almost bumped into you, young lady. This is my apology." The man dismounted, took out a silver note from his pocket, and presented it with both hands.

Previously it was two taels of silver, but now it's twenty taels of silver notes, more than enough to compensate her with a bag of wild fruits.

The five men on horseback were all taken aback by the man's actions.

Could this lecherous man be plotting against that young girl?

This girl has her hair in a bun and hasn't reached marriageable age yet. Could that brat be such a beast?

"Pei Junqi," the leading man spoke in a low voice, his tone somewhat cold, "Old habits resurfaced?"

"No." Pei Junqi quickly shook his head: "Sir, you misunderstand. I'm just apologizing to this young lady."

Of course, it's truly unexpected to find such a beautiful young woman in such a remote and impoverished place.

He was dressed like that, which was rather pitiful, and he always cherished beautiful women.

They had come all the way from the capital, and Qi Chengshuo, that old man, was urging them on so much that they barely had a rest. He hadn't had a chance to look at a beautiful woman in a long time.

Jiang Xianya originally didn't want the twenty taels of silver, but after seeing the man's face clearly, she changed her mind.

Those who practice divination will not consult the oracle for themselves unless absolutely necessary.

She was on her way to Liuhe Town, but she didn't know what the future held.

Although she can always live well by relying on her own abilities, she looks like a teenage girl, and people may not believe her at first.

She is capable, but it is difficult for her to earn money in a short period of time.

Now that someone has offered it to her, she has no reason to refuse.

Besides, she's not taking it for free.

According to Grandpa He, her maternal grandfather's family also lived a very frugal life.

She accepted the money with a smile.

Judging from this man's appearance, he is destined for great wealth and honor, and is kind-hearted and blessed with good fortune; in other words, he has good character.

Some people are just lustful, and they don't live long.

Of course, he will encounter trouble and get injured today. Although it is only a snake bite, it is still a kind of suffering for these young masters.

"I'll tell your fortune, this is the fee." Jiang Xianya took the twenty taels of silver notes and spoke softly. Although it was still the same tone as in her previous life, it sounded very pleasant and gentle coming from the mouth of a fourteen-year-old girl.

She was also helpless.

"Judging from your appearance, you are destined for great wealth and honor, but you have become addicted to women at a young age, which has depleted your pure yang energy and is detrimental to your health. If you wish to live a long life, you should exercise more restraint. With your constitution, you can drink Four Gods Soup regularly to nourish yourself."

Jiang Xianya paused slightly before speaking amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd: "Also... on your journey to Danhua Mountain, young master, you must be careful and avoid insects and snakes, otherwise you may suffer a bloody disaster. Although it will not be fatal, you will be injured and bleed."

She had already seen the man being bitten by a snake, not a venomous one, but... he was terrified, clinging to the man's trouser leg and wailing, which was quite funny.

This bronze mask...

“Young master,” Jiang Xianya turned to look at Qi Chengshuo, who was riding on horseback, “the bronze mask on your face gives me an ominous feeling. I advise you not to wear it.”

As for what exactly is ominous, Jiang Xianya couldn't say for sure.

Because she encountered obstacles when she tried to use mystical methods to deduce the truth.

This further proves that the mask is something special.

It might be a magical artifact related to Taoism, or it might be an evil object.

She prefers the latter.

If the man gave her the bronze mask, she could find the answer with some time and effort, but she didn't need to.

Because we're not familiar with each other.

She was in a hurry to get to Liuhe Town.

She had already calculated the twenty taels of silver for Pei Junqi. She was just giving the man wearing the bronze mask a heads-up, noting that something seemed off about the mask. It was just a casual remark, nothing more.

After Jiang Xianya finished speaking, she quickly got onto the oxcart.

He Guangcai had already brought back the soybeans, which were full and well-fed, and harnessed them to the oxcart, ready to set off at any time.

"Uncle Guangcai, let's go," Jiang Xianya said with a smile.

He Guangcai had been standing not far away and overheard Jiang Xianya's conversation with them. He also saw how easily she had earned twenty taels of silver, which made him wide-eyed in astonishment.

Perhaps it's true, as this girl said, that she escaped a calamity yesterday and had a miraculous encounter, making her no longer an ordinary person.

He Guangcai suddenly dared not treat her like an ordinary little girl anymore. When he heard Jiang Xianya say that she was about to set off, He Guangcai did not dare to delay and hurriedly urged Huang Dou to hurry on the way.

It wasn't until the oxcart was far away that the men came to their senses.

Qi Chengshuo, who was in the lead, frowned slightly: "How did she know we were going to Danhua Mountain?"

Pei Junqi, who had given Jiang Xianya twenty taels of silver, stared wide-eyed and said, "Why do I feel that this girl is a bit strange and scary? How does she know that I am rich and powerful and that I am fond of women? Only people who know me would know these things. Judging from her appearance, she is just a country girl."
