Jin He proceeded to go down the stairs towards the Li mansion's front door because the place where Jin He, Li Bao, and Li Bai were in was elevated.

The guards saw Jin He approaching and drooled at the sight of her beauty, which briefly distracted them from protecting the mansion.

"Excuse me, I have come here to help."

When Jin He's words reached the guards' ears, they thought they heard wrong. What can a measly girl like her do to help? All of the guards were about Third Level Mark, so unless her talent rivalled Li Bao's, she was of absolutely no help, except for maybe eye candy.

Jin He saw some lustful eyes within the guards that were holding the door closed, but also some doubtful eyes. She was annoyed by both and came closer, reached out her hand, and held the door with a finger. Suddenly, it felt like a heavy load was lifted from the guards.

All of the guards stepped back, expecting something only to have nothing happen. It seemed that no matter if they helped or not, Jin He was capable of easily protecting the front door. They underestimated her.

"Another talented beauty..."
"The Li clan really is blessed..."
"Thank the gods!"

The guards were relieved. Although they had a slightly high Level Mark, this was a hard job for them, especially since there were some other people other than the commoners that were pushing the door open.

The nobles were there as well, and they brought their high Level Mark cultivators, just to know who the mysterious cultivator was. Their arrogance knew no limits.

"Faster! I need to recruit that talent, even if I have to level this place."
"This meager Li clan dares to keep talent to themselves? Hehehe..."
"A talented individual will just get held back in this minor clan. He will benefit more in mine."

Jin He got tired of holding up her finger and leaned on the door. This casual move by her had a surprisingly devastating effect on the ones pushing the door, knocking them back about 2 meters!.

The people outside were shocked! These people were all at Third Level Mark, just who is strong enough to knock back over 20 of them? This feat wasn't possible unless one was in the Heavenly Mark realm, and even then, it would be very hard to pull off, draining all the energy of the cultivator.

If they found out that Jin He did it not only with ease, but also unintentionally, they would be baffled as to how strong this woman was. Unfortunately, they didn't know that and instead thought that the ones inside must be struggling after pushing that hard.

"Just a little more, and we'll acquire a great talent!"

Jin He yawned and meditated, sitting on the ground.

The nobles outside organized a synchronized push.

"Go!"
"Ahhh!"

The people screamed with all their might and ran towards the door. When they hit it however, it did not budge, not even slightly. Instead, the impact caused them to be knocked back again!

Li Bai saw the situation and thought that Jin He could handle it herself.

"Jin He, I'll be leaving, please stay there."

"Yes, master."

Not hearing Li Bai, the guards heard Jin He's words and were shocked! Master? Who was her master? They looked at her line of direction. Li Bai had already disappeared.

Li Bai walked away with Li Bao to give her pointers on medicine making. Li Bao was still suspicious of her brother's relationship with the mysteriously pretty woman she saw earlier. Were they not in a relationship, but rather, they're master and servant?!

"Oh, I almost forgot, jie-jie. The woman you saw earlier was Jin He, my disciple."

Li Bai thought that Li Bao's imagination would go to unpredictable routes and cleared up any misunderstandings that Li Bao might have perceived.

Li Bai and Li Bao continued to walk until they reached Li Bao's room.

.....

The nobles were now starting to give up. They called for their strongest forces to just destroy the door. No one in the major clans cared about the minor clans anyway.

"Hey! Destroy the door!"

The ones they called were now in the Fifth Level Mark. When working together, they had the ability to defeat even a First Level Heavenly Mark.

The nobles were confident that this was enough to break in the mansion.

Meanwhile, tension was nonexistent in the mansion. Some guards were sleeping, some were playing cards, and some were trying to talk to Jin He, until a crack appeared on the door.

Jin He sitting in front of the door had no effect if the nobles considered breaking it instead of pushing. The door was destroyed, and Jin He's tranquility was disturbed. She stood up and looked behind her.

"We did it! Get in!"

All of the nobles rushed towards the door. Jin He yawned and slapped the air with her hand, causing a shockwave that knocked back all of the people!

The people in front of the mob saw that Jin He's indifferent attack had overwhelming effect on them, and although she was beautiful, they saw her as more of a monster! The nobles behind were unaware of what happened. The only thing they knew was that there was a monster that was capable of knocking them all back at the same time. They were all afraid of the identity of that monster.

When they saw Jin He, their troubles faded away. Seeing such a beautiful woman made them think that she couldn't possibly be the monster. The serene look in her eyes calmed them down.

One of the nobles ordered a servant.

"Who is that beautiful woman, get her for me!"

The servant was a witness to Jin He's prowess, and was hesitant to follow the noble. Ultimately, he ran away.

"Hey, impudent servant! Come back here!"

All of the other servants of this noble ran away as well, leaving him behind by himself.

"Such impudence will not go unpunished...!"

Jin He yawned yet again.
