Chapter 17: Degradation
"Maybe she knew her true identity long ago, so she practiced physical training in private without telling us. Then she found out that this survival game program group was related to Prince Arthur, and deliberately participated in this survival game, with the purpose of letting Prince Arthur see her." Schiff said with increasing uneasiness as he thought about it.
"Prince Arthur is in the army now, he can't have the time to watch such a boring survival adventure. Prince Arthur has supported more than one survival game program group in recent years. Besides, even if he watched it, what does it matter? Prince Arthur has seen all kinds of women. That girl is so beautiful that it is impossible for a prince to fall in love with her across the screen. As long as there is no intersection in the future, that impression will soon disappear." The Xi family is not in a hurry about this matter.
Everyone knows that the current king is attracted by those with high potential for cultivation and high martial arts skills. Prince Arthur, who has a temperament so similar to the current king, should be like this.
No matter how high Lucy's warrior level is, she is applying for the Department of Art. As long as she is coaxed into studying art at the Imperial University and she is not allowed to appear in public as a warrior, there is no need to worry about her leaving any impression on Prince Arthur.
"Do you have an idea?" Schiff's eyes lit up.
"When she leaves the program team, comfort her and let her study hard at Imperial Capital University. Don't do anything unnecessary. If you hadn't been stingy and deducted her pocket money and used the tuition to embarrass her, she wouldn't have to take risks for credit and cause this trouble." Xi Jia said.
Speaking of this matter, the Xi family was upset for a while. Not to mention the Xi family's shares, he has many industries under his name, and his net worth is not hundreds of billions, but tens of billions.
But this woman even deducted the living expenses that the family gave to the legitimate children. It was really shameless. When the elders scolded him about this matter today, he swore that he wanted to hit this woman for the first time.
"The elders asked us to compensate her for the living expenses of these years." Xi Jiabo said in a deep voice.
Seeing her husband's look, Schiff shrank her neck subconsciously. She regretted this matter very much, regretting not keeping it secret.
But she never thought that the useless boy who had been raised to be very introverted and cowardly would suddenly rebel and run away, leaving everything behind.
Because of this incident, her image as a high and mighty housewife in the Xi family plummeted, and now the women in the family looked at her with sarcasm.
"Humph, those elders of your Xi family are not good people. When that piece of shit left the Xi family before, they didn't say anything. But now that they found out she is capable, every one of them has become a good elder." Schiff sneered.
"She used to be only useful for family marriage, but now she has the ability to become an elite member of the family. Naturally, her status in the hearts of the elders is different. Speaking of this matter, we still have troubles. Even if we don't say anything now, the elders may see that we deliberately want to abandon her and prepare to wait for Lucy to come back to retest her cultivation potential." The Xi family member became angry as he spoke.
"Then what should I do? To be honest, she really doesn't have the potential to practice martial arts. How could she have such a high level of martial arts skills?" Schiff was really confused.
"It is very likely that there was a problem with the test at that time. The elders checked and found that Lucy started practicing Taijutsu on her own when she was 18 years old. You didn't even notice it for such a long time." Xi Jia said unhappily.
Fortunately, what Lucy exposed was her martial arts skills, and he was not the one who tested the family's potential for cultivation, so he was not too far wrong in this matter.
"What should I do?"
"You should transfer the money to her right away, and then use this as an excuse to coax her back." Xi Jiadong said unhappily.
"What if she doesn't listen? She turned against us when she left." Schiff said worriedly.
Speaking of this, the Xi family was not in a good mood. His husband was fine in other matters, but when it came to Lucy, it seemed that his intelligence was reduced to a level that was frighteningly low.
"She has been a well-behaved and obedient child since she was young. She is still our daughter in name. We have known each other for so many years. As long as you persuade her in a kind way, how could she not listen to you?"
Schiff's eyes flickered for a moment, but he finally agreed.
Recently, because of this little girl's popularity, she has washed away the good-for-nothing's reputation, which has put Erica in an awkward situation. She really needs to coax the little girl back, if she wants to have a chance to turn things around.
The Xi family saw her eyes and knew that she was still confused, so they warned her: "I don't know why you seem to hate Lucy. Remember, Lucy is not my daughter, but my niece. She belongs to our Xi family. Don't use those methods to deal with her in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
…
Mai Dongzi guessed yesterday that he was tricked by someone else and accidentally took a drug that enhanced his body's potential. He is no longer anxious about exposing his warrior level.
With such a perfect explanation, she no longer needs to hide her own abilities.
Anyway, if anything happens, she can blame it on the enhancement potion.
As for her skills, she found a reason from her original experience that she could barely cope with.
It turned out that he had registered for an anonymous ring match on StarNet, and not only participated in the ring match, but also bought a close combat teaching course in this StarNet club.
In addition, she originally had permission to read the family's advanced physical training methods and often spent time in the family library, so she practiced physical training in private, so it was completely reasonable for her to learn martial arts.
The elders in the family may not know about this, but the younger generations who are close to Hara know something about it.
These can barely explain why she has such good skills.
It turned out that she had indeed practiced Taijutsu diligently, but because of her training potential, the result of her hard work in Taijutsu was only to become a first-level warrior. This was because she practiced the highest level of Taijutsu, which did not achieve this result.
But don't be too unaware of the inside story.
Although anyone with a discerning eye could see the problems with her skills, none of these explanations could fully account for the skills she displayed.
But at least she wouldn't think it was weird that she had such an ability without any reason, and wouldn't associate it with the fact that her soul had been replaced.
At most, one would think that her skills are a bit mysterious, but more likely one would think that she is a hidden warrior.
The second day of the survival game passed quickly. After Mai Dongzi finished making the other ceramic embryos, he returned to the wooden house and used his wood-related abilities to give birth to the immortal pillars one by one.
After using up all of his wood-related abilities, Mai Dongzi made sure there was no danger around him, and then he meditated to recover his abilities.
