79 The players change but not the game.

Zhin Zhin, Stood in front of her Young miss's room, she stepped from side to side.

Her Young lady had come home from a fight with demonic cultivators, and since then She did jot came out of the bedroom. Today was the first time after ten days that Zhi Rui called a maid for something else than food. Zhin Zhin was worried. she couldn't hold it back and tried to bit her nail. When Zhi Rui's doors opened.

Like a martial artist who just saw achance, Zhin Zhin jumped right inside Zhi Rui's room through the small opening.

Zhi Rui looked dumbfoundedly at the woman. "Zhin Zhin, are you Crazy!? I might be far away these days. but I'm still your master!"]

Zhin ZHin froze, then her eyes shone brightly. "My Young lady's health is my utmost priority!" She said pounding her chest.

Zhi Rui sighed and closed the door.

Zhin ZHin jumped straight at Zhi Rui and examined her completely, every inch of her body, was inspected. Again Zhi Rui stared wide-eyed.

Finally, Zhin Zhin relaxed, she looked at Zhi Rui with a warm smile.

Looking at that face. Zhi Rui could not bring herself to fight it.

She sighed and spoke. "Zhin Zhin, I need to know whathappened while I was gone."

counting the days Zhi Rui was on the expedition. it was almost fifteen days Since she left the country. Zhi Rui thought about Wang Lei gu and frowned. To someone motivated fifteen days is enough to do a lot of damage.

Seeing Zhi Rui's stern attitude, ZhinZhin straightened her back with the chest full of vigor, She spoke. "Miss's name is spreading far and wide in the country, They call miss fearless saint. the fact that miss defeated two demonic cultivators, and managed to save and protect two fellow disciples. Even brought out the emperor's presence."

Zhin Zhin was speaking so passionately. she did not notice the flicker in Zhi Rui's eyes.

"The emperor's presence? What did his Highness say?" Zhi Rui asked.

Zhin Zhin eyes shined "He said that the country needs more courageous people like miss. and that you can focus on purging Evil that He and the princess will do everything to finish building a better place in the slums."

the eye of the maid shined and her chest stuffed with pride.

Not wanting to, Zhi Rui asked."The princess, What she managed to do While I was away?"

"OH! Last week, she finished building another community center, I knew a nephew of mine that lives in that side of the slums, he said the things had never been so good. She hunted some bandits that worked on the venues of commerce between countries.

It's even said that she learned how to make pills that increase the life expectancy of normal people.

Zhin Zhin kept blabbering On while Zhi Rui's eyes turned cold. 'The emperor's presence was merely a way to bit onto the attention I'm gathering.'

Zhi Rui scratched her head strongly. 'not one day, not a single tranquil day...'

Talking a little more with Zhin Zhin, Zhi Rui turned around and headed directly to the brothel.On the way, Zhi Rui heard princess Lei gu's name together with her own. all the way towards the brothel.

after a few minutes, Zhi Rui directly entered into it.She looked up and finally could see theYellow eyes she craved for.Zhi Rui proceeded towards the usual private room.

Zhi Rui entered and stood to wait for a few meters by the door.

The moment the door opened, Zhi Rui reached for the arm on the door handle and pulled Hilda to her embrace. Without another word, Zhi Rui kept petting Hilda on the head.

Zhi Rui's eyes grew round and she started to look around. Zhi Rui smiled."there's no need to run. I saw you and felt nostalgic, blackie the black panther, died. And you look a lot like her."

Hilda frowned, she couldn't understand how the two made a connection.

"You're a cat, and so was blackie" Zhi Rui answered seeing the confusion on the feline.

Hilda frowned, but the genuine affection on Zhi Rui's face, made her feel strange.

"Purrrrr" Hilda made a sound with her throat.

Zhi Rui stopped, she put both her hands on Hilda and distanced herself.

"You're weird."SHe laughed loudly and sat down on the couch.

Hilda stood frozen, her face red. she tried to be generous for once, only for it to backfire.

"How is the situation on your side?" Zhi Rui asked sternly. her expression turned 180 degrees.

Hilda, compelled by her slave markimmediately answered, "Due to the need of being low key, the business is slow but steady."

Zhi Rui nodded. "Make a list of everybody's needs for cultivation for me. I"ll have to take some measures, I'll need a strong and loyal partner, you and the slaves will be perfect.two days from now Zhun Xuyin will come to take it. I'll arrange the items.

While I do that. Take Shizu, and train those slaves in fights. I bring some resources from the sect. Forget about the business for now. focus completely on getting them stronger.

Hilda listened, attentively, and a chill filled her gut. Whatever Zhi Rui's gonna use such amount of force for. won't be for anything safe.

The resigned to fate expression on Hilda amuses Zhi Rui and she smiled. She wanted to tease her, but a sudden gust of wind blasted the door open.

Feeling no hostility Zhi Rui looked at the person at the entrance with cold eyes.

the sun from outside shadowed the person's figure.

But Zhi Rui only needed to be thought to See clearly. She laughed.

"Zhun Xuying, it's been only a few days, and you already miss me this much?"

Zhun Xuying jumped closer. her face stern. malicious intent exuded from her bones.

Frowning Zhi Rui looked questionable.

Zhun Xuying stopped and slowly enunciated. "I got a piece of news from the inner sect. Various disciples are migrating to this branch of theLight sect. A permanent portal is being constructed, To facilitate access to the underworld trial."

Zhi Rui's face crumbled, with that, she already knew where Zhun XUying was getting at.

"They sent another person to assume the sect?" She asked the crux of the matter.

"No, they did not explicitly say anything about it. But Five Genious disciples who managed to reach level four before turning twenty came here with a few dismissable pretenses."

As she explained, ZHun Xuying's voice becomes faint.Zhi Rui was grinning from ear to ear her perfect white teeth were showing.

"W-Why?" Zhun Xuying asked.

"To be the sect leader, the minimum requirement is to be a six-level cultivator. They sent five brats, even if they're genius they cannot advance to level six in less than a few years. in that meantime. I'll evolve and invade their little competition. crush them and take the sect for me."

For the first time, Zhun Xuyin doubted Zhi Rui. She squinted her eyes. "They are backed by absurdly strong families, they cannot be touched." She concluded.

Zhi Rui looked at her with bloodlust in her eyes. "Exactly! they have enormous backing and unlimited resources. HAHA!five fat sheep fell from the skies! Zhi Rui laughed maniacally. the thought of losing to pampered young masters that grew with safety nets never crossed her mind.
