"It is said that Emperor Taizu was narrow-minded, petty, and selfish. If he knew that the throne he had worked so hard to seize had turned out like this, he would be so angry that his soul would leave his body."
Jian Yin mocked without any politeness.
"Since you've guessed it, there's no need to investigate further. Inform them to return to the capital and await orders. We should head back to the capital."
After concealing the dark glint in his eyes, the man in black gave instructions to Jian Yin.
"Yes! I will arrange it immediately."
After Jian Yin left, the man leaped up and sat on the rubble, looking at the starry sky and laughing mockingly.
...
Cen Xi, accompanied by two little ones, arrived at the Hidden Gate five days later.
Back when she was in the Wang family, she had heard the officials mention the Hidden Sect. She never expected that she would have such a special connection with this sect.
In just one month, she became the disciple of the Hidden Sect leader.
The world is truly full of wonders.
On her first night there, even though Cen Xi was very unwilling to accept her bizarre identity, she had no choice but to accept it.
If what Yu Kuang described to her is true, then once she leaves this mountain gate, those silly people will definitely flock to her like a hornet's nest.
If she still only has this much skill, she'll be dead sooner or later, let alone become the richest person in the future and live a carefree life.
So she has to become strong, stronger than those mentally ill people, in order to live the life she wants.
Thinking of this, Cen Xi couldn't help but feel disgusted. Was she destined to be a hard worker?
Before she time-traveled, Ms. Li often taught her that they only had one daughter and she had no brothers or sisters, so she had to learn everything so that even if they were gone one day, she could take care of herself on her own.
At that time, under Ms. Li's semi-coercion, she learned it thoroughly.
Fortunately, she was very talented and became an all-rounder without much effort.
Before being killed by Buddha's palm, she originally planned to endure those two perverted bosses for another three years before starting her own company.
Unexpectedly, she was born with a bad luck with temples, and she died young the first time she entered one.
So be it if she dies, but she's heartbroken about the money in her bank account—several million! It all suddenly became just numbers in her mind.
Thinking about it, it's really frustrating. Cen Xi thinks that if there were a contest, what would be the most tragic thing in the world?
She would definitely say first that the person died and the money wasn't spent.
"What are you thinking about? Your master sent me to call you."
Jun Jianchou entered her courtyard and found her sitting at the table, lost in thought, even in the dead of winter. He couldn't help but give her a hard slap.
"Don't rush to see your master. Send him a message and tell him to go to sleep first. How can I, a widow, go to see him at night? It would ruin my reputation. Yu Kuang, tell me how you died and how you ended up traveling to this dynasty with me? Did you run out of money before you died?"
Cen Xi glanced at the sleeping little boy on the bed, pulled him aside, and quietly asked him.
"Damn it! You're still the same old you. Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about your money? You're only 18, you'll have plenty of money in the future. Can't you think about romance and pleasure?"
Yu Kuang.
Well!
Yu Kuang really wanted to grab a hammer and pry open her head to see what kind of structure she had.
"Don't start cursing. First, send a message to Master that I can't go tonight. Ms. Li said that women should be chaste and self-respecting, and I can't go to see him like this tonight."
Cen Xi's erratic thinking made Yu feel that they were clearly not on the same wavelength. One moment she was talking about money, and the next she was thinking about her own identity as a woman.
"Tch! I'm still a man, why don't you avoid suspicion?"
"Are you even a man? Have you ever done anything a man should do since you were a child?"
Cen Xi retorted sharply.
"As expected, I shouldn't have come to see you tonight. What was I thinking, going to all this trouble for you? I must be out of my mind to care about you and risk my life to save you."
Jun Jianchou glared fiercely at the damned woman, then turned and left.
"Don't forget to tell Master that I'm going to see him tomorrow."
Seeing that Yu was so crazy that he was walking unsteadily, Cen Xi laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared from his teeth.
As expected, he's still the same madman, just with a different appearance.
After teasing Yu Kuang, Cen Xi's previously sullen mood improved considerably.
I'm in the mood to go to sleep now.
So she quickly went to bed, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
Early the next morning, Cen Xi felt refreshed and went to see the leader of the Hidden Sect.
"You're here?"
"Um!"
During the question-and-answer session, the old man only asked her one question before continuing to tend the charcoal fire.
After a quarter of an hour, he stood up, sat in the main seat, and said:
"Let's offer a cup of tea. After that, our master-disciple relationship will be established. Remember not to tarnish the reputation of our Hidden Sect."
"I heard Jianchou say that the demonic melody that pierced the sky was created by you?"
"I guess so! I was just picking up scraps from others and adding my own creative touches."
Cen Xi replied respectfully.
In front of such a master, she felt she should adopt a proper attitude and put away her frivolous smile.
"You're quite modest. Jianchou said you're a ruthless person who eats people without spitting out the bones, but you seem quite well-behaved to me, unlike what he said."
"You are a master of your school, so naturally I must respect you."
Cen Xi said very seriously.
"Looks like you're pretty savvy. I suppose Jian Chou has already told you your secret!"
"Tell me, what are your plans for the future?"
"I will become your disciple and strive to become stronger."
That's all?
