Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

116-120

Chapter 116: Unusual Cave

As soon as Jiang Shuxuan drove the car to the gates, Xixi flew out of the house.

“Beauty Gu! Beauty Gu!”

“Why didn’t you take Xixi with you today?” Jiang Shuxuan asked with slightly narrowed eyes. The flicker of frost in his eyes startled Xixi, who immediately flew to sit on Gu Xiqiao’s shoulder.

Gu Xiqiao saw it happening, and raised an eyebrow at him, reaching up to touch her nose. “I left Xixi at home to accompany Haha.”

In actuality, she felt that Xixi was a tad noisy, and had too much of a human-like personality. Bringing it out made her feel like there was no privacy, so she was lazy to bring it out with her.

“Remember to bring it along next time, there have been some ninjas coming into N City recently. I’d feel more assured if Xixi was with you.”

As the evaluation for the Ranking List drew closer, many foreigners were coming to inquire about China discreetly. The reason was because China had produced someone like Jiang Shuxuan who had been sitting in the top spot for the past ten years, and thus igniting their competitive spirit.

After observing for a few days to find that they hadn’t managed to cross the boundaries, he relaxed slightly. However, they were still being kept under watch discreetly, since these people were no ordinary people after all. Being the rising new generation from Russia, their skills couldn’t be underestimated. As seeded players, they would definitely have some heavy protections on themselves, and if they were to use it would most likely lead to earth-shattering scenarios. And that was also the reason why Jiang Shuxuan was worried that she would meet these people, she had a lot of secrets after all, and sometimes even he couldn’t measure her true strength.

China had already occupied three spots among the top twenty in the Ranking List, and were already a thorn in the side of the other counties. If they were to add one more this time, they would be under even more scrutiny, and it was possible that the other countries would resort to more underhanded measures.

Hearing the new term, Gu Xiqiao’s interest was piqued. “Ninjas? Do those things really exist?” Thinking about it made her excited, she had never seen one before.

Jiang Shuxuan had wanted to correct her by saying that ninjas were not things, but then he paused. That wasn’t right, if they weren’t ‘things’, then what were they?

He couldn’t think of a more appropriate term, so he skipped that line of thought completely instead. “There should be some in the forum, you can go back and have a look through. Remember to take Xixi out with you next time.”

“I know.” Gu Xiqiao nodded, the shine in her eyes growing brighter as she thought about it. She had been in contact with ancient martial arts for so long, and still rarely encountered any other cultivators. And now finding out the existence of ninjas… she was really looking forward to it.

Seeing the bright sparkles in her eyes, Jiang Shuxuan could faintly make a guess at what she was thinking about. Feeling helpless at the situation, he could only give Xixi a pointed look, emphasizing for it to keep a careful eye on her. And to contact him should anything happen, no matter what the time.

Both of them entered the house together, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the figure of Yin Shaoyuan lazing on the couch. Once the man saw the two of them walk in, he jumped up immediately, suddenly full of life as he exclaimed, “You guys are back. Auntie Zhang, serve the dishes!”
