Shortly after Cuizhu began to have doubts, in the other courtyard, Tianning, who was still asleep, felt something was wrong with his body.
The spiritual energy flowed into her body on its own, and her cultivation level, which had not been able to break through for a long time, actually broke through from the sixth level of Qi Chain to the seventh level of Qi Chain!
This made Tianning so excited that he immediately jumped out of bed.
Five years!
For five whole years, she was stuck at the sixth level of Qi Chain and couldn't break through. God knows how she spent those five years!
No matter how many rare treasures, elixirs, or even the old man's wondrous ancient artifact—which allowed her to cultivate for ten years within the artifact for one day outside—she couldn't break through. Yet, she broke through on the third day after arriving at the Wen family's residence.
Remembering what the old man had said: "This world has been invaded by a wicked system. These systems, along with the transmigrators, are ruthlessly plundering the fortunes of others and disrupting the order of heaven and earth. The entire world will be destroyed in the future!"
Tian Ning has a special constitution; her strength can only be improved by restoring balance to the world and driving away outsiders.
Tianning had questions about this.
She possesses memories of her previous life in the modern world; strictly speaking, she is also considered an outsider in the old man's eyes.
But at that moment, the usually jovial old man solemnly told her, "No, Ningning, you are not an outsider to this world."
Tianning trusts the old man who raised and accompanied him.
So it seems something's wrong with the Wen family. What did she do yesterday to improve her strength?
Aside from the few people I met during meals, there were only the maids.
Tianning didn't know.
So she pulled out a handful of spirit rice and tempted him: "Chirp chirp, do me a favor."
Before long, a sparrow flew out of Tianning's house. It perched on the roof and chirped a few times, attracting all sorts of birds from the vicinity.
After hearing the sparrows chirp several times, they all scattered and obediently went to the four corners of the Wenren Mansion.
Tian Ning wasn't idle either. She excitedly tried to improve her strength, but no matter how much spiritual energy she absorbed from the surroundings, her cultivation level remained stuck at the seventh level of Qi Chain, and she couldn't move forward...
Tian Ning stared silently at the ceiling, resigned to her fate.
It seems that she can only improve her cultivation level by finding out the outsider and eliminating the system.
Based on her experience reading novels over two lifetimes, she was pretty sure that person was Wenren Xue. After all, the old man had already pointed out the key: 'plundering other people's luck.' As it turned out, outsiders with systems didn't fare too badly in this world.
But Tianning remembered that she hadn't done anything to Wenren Xue yesterday.
So what caused this sudden increase in strength?
It looks like we can only wait for news from Chuchu.
While he was thinking, the white cat on the bed was still lazily lying on the pillow, pretending to be asleep. Outside the courtyard, the five maids from last night had already arrived impatiently.
Although Cuizhu was disappointed because her monthly allowance was deducted, she couldn't resist her restless heart and continued to listen to the storytelling.
Tian Ning was holding a calligraphy brush, with many papers spread on the table, and was drawing some strange symbols.
The maids were completely absorbed in the storybook and didn't want to look at the scribbles that depicted what kind of patterns they were. They eagerly told the sixth young lady to read it to them.
Tianning found it boring to draw alone, so she handed the storybook from last night to her maid. Noticing that there were only a few thin pages left in the rather thick book, Tianning took out the second volume from the box.
The maids' eyes lit up; there was a second volume!
If it weren't for some of the explicit and suggestive language in the book that made their hearts pound with embarrassment, the maids would have loved to read it with even more emotion!
They read until lunchtime. After lunch, they heard that the master of the house was taking Tianning to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to pay respects to Sect Leader Xiao. Only then did the maids reluctantly leave.
"I saw many storybooks on the bookshelf in Miss Six's room!" a maid whispered to Mo Ran.
"Ah! There are so many interesting stories out there!" Mo Ran's thoughts were written all over her face, full of envy.
"That's right! These stories from the mortal realm are so interesting! I used to think the mortal realm was vulgar and despicable, unlike the immortals in the cultivation world who are single-mindedly focused on ascending to immortality. Even ordinary maids like us can live longer and be more beautiful than mortals thanks to the spiritual energy of the cultivation world. I never imagined that the mortal realm would have such interesting things!"
...
Originally, they were extremely reluctant to come to the Sixth Miss's courtyard, but now they are reluctant to leave.
"Sister Cuizhu, what's wrong?" asked a maid who was close to Cuizhu.
Last night, Cuizhu was chatting and laughing with everyone about the storybook plot, but today she seemed a little silent. The maid thought she was in a bad mood because the Fifth Miss had deducted her monthly salary.
"It's nothing, I just..."
Cuizhu felt a tightness in her chest. When she thought about the plot of "The Marquis's Adopted Daughter Runs Away with a Baby: Forced to Escape Their Forced Keeping," she couldn't help but think of the scene of the Fifth Miss and the Fourth Young Master together this morning.
Cuizhu watched as the three maids walked away, and there was no one around.
She pulled aside her close maid and lowered her voice, saying, "Xiao Hua, don't you think there's something strange about the relationship between Fifth Miss and Fourth Young Master?"
——
Tian Ning followed the head of the Wen family on a small spaceship to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Before leaving, Wenren Xue smiled and said, "I specifically communicated with my master. If my sister has the talent, my master said he would try his best to keep her for my sake."
