"Bai Ze suggests that you first cultivate the Knight Breathing Technique. The complete Knight Breathing Technique has been recorded. After analysis, spirit stones can also replace the energy required by the Knight Breathing Technique. By comparison, the Knight Breathing Technique is somewhat similar to the body refining techniques in the cultivation world. Moreover, there are enough samples of breathing techniques. In addition, we have collected enough body refining techniques. With enough time, we should be able to improve a breathing technique that is strong enough."
"Okay, then you can put this task as the top priority. How long do you expect it to take to complete?"
"Three days."
Bai Ze instructed Jiang Yue to familiarize herself with the movements she had practiced before, and then began to move in conjunction with the Knight's Breathing Technique. The training continued until her grandfather returned. After his return, the butler reported on the matter of Jiang Yue being cursed. The investigation had reached a dead end, and all the clues pointed to Jiang Yue's fourth uncle, her grandfather's fourth son.
However, neither Jiang Yue nor her maternal grandfather believed it. Her fourth uncle was not a very bright person. Although he had openly asked for Jiang Yue's money before, he was not smart enough to set up such a big scheme. However, the situation in the empire was not good recently, so Jiang Yue's maternal grandfather took the opportunity to send him to his fiefdom.
The matter has now come to a temporary end, but neither Jiang Yue nor her grandfather Victor have given up their investigation. They have simply moved from the open to the covert. For a period of time afterward, things were relatively peaceful. Apart from socializing with other noble ladies, Jiang Yue devoted all her energy to improving her strength.
Although the wizarding side has stopped, the knights have made great progress, having already broken through to the advanced knight level and not far from becoming a grand knight. Don't be fooled by Jiang Yue's rapid breakthrough; it's all thanks to spending real money. She's consumed a lot of spirit beast meat pills, gene potions, and other resources. With these resources and the new breathing technique, it's estimated that even Grandpa will be able to break through to the extraordinary knight level.
However, Jiang Yue cannot give the breathing technique to her grandfather yet because she doesn't have a suitable reason. Fortunately, Bai Ze's research on bloodline purification is almost complete. Jiang Yue plans to take a risk and try to take advantage of the elves. The potion that Bai Ze is developing can probably purify Jiang Yue's bloodline to the level of a royal branch if the highest bloodline is royal. This level was decided by Bai Ze and Jiang Yue together.
Too low and you won't get much, too high and you'll attract attention. Right now, it's just right, neither too low nor too high. The potion is ready, but Bai Ze is currently researching ways to conceal appearance and strength. Elves are generally very charming, so what if their charm is too high after awakening? You know, a beauty without strength is not a blessing but a curse.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue had researched this kind of cultivation technique in the cultivation world, so now she only needs to make an adaptive change. The main problem is that Bai Ze doesn't dare to use it easily when she goes to other places. Otherwise, Bai Ze would have this function, and so would those magic treasures, which also have similar functions, but Jiang Yue just doesn't dare to use them.
Another month passed, and Jiang Yue broke through to the Great Knight level. Bai Ze's improvements were also nearly complete. Even with Bai Ze's abilities, it took him a month, but the results were excellent. Jiang Yue estimated that a formal wizard would not be able to see through it.
The cultivation method and medicine were ready, but Jiang Yue decided to wait a while. Her coming-of-age ceremony was in a month, and the invitations had already been sent out. If the time required for bloodline awakening was too long, it would be impolite for the host not to be present at the banquet. She decided to wait until after the ceremony.
During the waiting period, Jiang Yue familiarized herself with the power of the Great Knight, then mastered the concealment technique. She also met the protagonist, Moder, because it was her coming-of-age ceremony. Her adoptive father and adoptive brother both came. Although they were all relatives, the original owner had not returned since her father remarried, so they were quite estranged.
After meeting the two men, Victor tested the protagonist's strength and learned that he planned to stay in the capital. He then gave Jiang Yue the Bennet family's castle and half of the wealth. Victor had never intended to embezzle the money. His original plan was to return it to the Bennet family if they produced successful members in the future, otherwise, he would leave it to Jiang Yue.
After all, the Bennet family only had money left; the truly important things had long been taken away. Top noble families like the Ashley family had no shortage of money. They claimed to have given it to Jiang Yue, but secretly they took half from the protagonist. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to keep even half of the wealth, since the protagonist hadn't even fully developed yet.
After seeing them off, Victor, fearing Jiang Yue might overthink things, specifically comforted her: "Isabel, you don't blame Grandpa for giving half of his fortune to your brother, do you? Don't worry, Grandpa has prepared things for you..."
Jiang Yue interrupted her grandfather before he could finish speaking, then stared into his eyes and said, "Grandpa, I know, I understand."
Victor patted Jiang Yue's head with satisfaction: "I knew you would understand. You are as smart as your mother. It's a pity..."
In the following days, Jiang Yue stayed at Bennett Castle for a few days to keep her father and brother company. After all, the two of them had never wronged her. After getting to know each other, Mordel even traded a bloodline wizard meditation method with Jiang Yue for a meditation method. Jiang Yue also had the same idea, and in a good mood, she gave him many unreal breathing techniques. These were not the ones from the Ashley family, but ones that Bai Ze had deduced himself.
Both were satisfied with the transaction. Model even gave Jiang Yue some cosmetics, such as lipstick and perfume. Jiang Yue pretended to be surprised and liked them very much, and agreed to go into business with him and introduce some clients to him. Who would complain about free money? In return, Jiang Yue also introduced him to the situation in the Empire, which would save him a lot of trouble.
After this conversation, the two became much closer. She called him brother and he called her sister, and there was some genuine affection between them. Afterwards, she accompanied her father to pay respects to Jiang Yue's mother. To say that the two had a deep relationship was not really true. If there was no relationship, it was because the original owner's mother had taken a liking to her father. Jiang Yue didn't quite understand it either, as he was still young and didn't remember anything back then.
On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, Jiang Yue was woken up early by her maid. The first thing she did was take a bath. The hot water in the marble bathtub was steaming, and some dried flower petals were placed in the tub, giving it a floral fragrance. After the bath, Jiang Yue put on the prepared underwear, and then, with the help of her maid, put on the prepared dress.
Servants greeted the guests outside the castle gates. These guests were all prominent nobles from the capital, and even the royal family had sent a prince. Some lesser nobles, though unable to enter the castle hall, had sent their gifts early on, hoping to make an appearance before the big shots and perhaps catch their eye.
