Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

71-75

Chapter 71: Emerging Company

“Mrs. Zhang’s family had some issues, so she has gone back temporarily. If you need anything, you can just give me a call. That’s all, go on ahead.” Jiang Shuxuan said, letting her go while looking at her pale smooth face. The torn expression on her face made him unable to resist the urge to rub her head.

By the sofa, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask Yin Shaoyuan, “Boy, who’s the pretty girl?”

Yin Shaoyuan had been talking to Wu Hongwen, getting an update on what had transpired when he was interrupted. He didn’t dare say anything about it though, and just explained with a disgruntled expression, “Dad, are you getting demented in your old age? Didn’t you send someone to inquire about the Gu family’s second daughter because you sympathized previously, now that you’re seeing her in person, you don’t recognize her?”

“Oh, so that’s her.” Yin Jinian said, then he glanced at Jiang Shuxuan, “Well, if you have the time, tell Shuxuan that the kid from Gu family is not easy, and she’s just not worth your time. Not up to either of your standards, not even for fooling around.”

‘Are you really my birth father! Do you not know that Jiang Shuxuan has such sharp hearing, he can even hear the sound of feathers falling to the ground ten meters away?’

Yin Shaoyuan’s face held a dumbfounded expression, risking a glance at Jiang Shuxuan’s direction. Sure enough, his black eyes were sharp, cold and as hard as a rock. His face was also tensed, his body rigid.

The sins of the father fall to the son and both are guilty—he was a goner…

Once Gu Xiqiao returned to her room, she looked at the drawing board, trying to calm the shock in her heart for a long while. She had the advantage of a cheating artifact system, which she could have the time of a year in a day. Even with that, she had been able to level up by chance. Jiang Shuxuan was not the same—he was a real cultivator who trained himself, and he was already at Xiantian level. How much talent did this genius have?

Even the system was surprised at the revelation as it had never seen such a talented person before.

[Wait a minute, Beauty Qiao! The profound chi in your body that was out of control has been stabilized!] The system suddenly exclaimed.

She didn’t notice just now, but once Gu Xiqiao heard the words from the system, she immediately concentrated her mind on the flow through the meridians. She then realized that the turbulent energy caused by the upgrades previously had disappeared. If the flow in her meridians was described as a raging river previously, it had now settled down into a gentle stream.

[I thought that you would need to spend at least a month in virtual space to sort out all that turbulent chi, but it looks like it’s not needed now. Beauty Qiao, I have a suspicion that Big Jiang assisted you just now! But for someone to be able to help sort out another’s chi flow, that’s just incredible and impossible!] The system said, rubbing its chin in puzzlement and confusion.

Everyone’s profound energy was not the same, because everyone walks different paths, so for Jiang Shuxuan… was another level of impossible that Gu Xiqiao and the system were unable to describe using words.

“Is this the strength of a descendent from an ancient martial arts family…” Gu Xiqiao muttered as she pressed two pale fingers to her temple, her thin peach-colored lips pursing slightly. Smoothing out her delicate face into a serious expression, she said, “Help me set up, I’ll do the daily missions first.”

Standing in the virtual space, she willed for a table to appear in front of her, together with pens, ink, inkstones, and paper on it. Practice was the best way to hone a person’s mind, and the system watched as Gu Xiqiao wrote on the first piece of paper, her calligraphy bold and flamboyant to the point it was almost haphazard, which was not her usual style. It was not until the second piece of paper that her calligraphy returned to normal.
