Lu Shi was taken to the basement of another shop in the city. This place was the location that was created by the Divine Scale Pavillion for their secret maneuvering. No one else knew about the true secret about this place except for the high ranking members of the Divine Scale Pavillion.
Seeing that the secret of this place was revealed to her, Lu Shi's heart sank. It could only mean she would not be given a chance to escape. As now she knew about this place, the Divine Scale Pavillion was definitely not going to leave her alone. She was already sure that only the people from the Divine Scale Pavillion on whom she was keeping an eye on were capable of doing something like this.
After going down to the basement, Lu Shi was taken to a luxurious room. This was very surprising for her as she had not expected the basement area to have this type of well built rooms. Inside the room there were several sofas on which three people were sitting. Another lady wearing the same style of dress as the lady who escorted Lu Shi here was standing behind the sofa like a servant.
Among the people who were sitting on the sofa, there was a cute looking boy and two other cute girls. From how everyone looked, it was kind of obvious that the boy sitting in the middle was most probably the young master she needed to meet.
Lu Shi knew about these people from the reports of her informants but she had never seen them with her own eyes. She knew that going to observe them on her own would be quite risky and that was the reason why she avoided them. But now the fate had bought her to these same people.
Seeing Lu Shi entering the room, Rein gave him a sweet smile and asked her to sit on one of the sofas. There were tea and desserts on the table and Lu Shi was invited to taste them. Lu Shi did not take that offer though and just looked at Rein with a questioning expression.
Seeing that reaction Rein again gave her a reassuring smile and spoke up for the first time -
"Miss do not worry. I do not have any particular hate for you. I'm just a little bit curious about your motive for going to this length in order to destroy this city. I'm actually very impressed by your intellect and that is also one of the reason why I wanted to meet with you."
Again this was something almost impossible for the ever vigilant Lu Shi to do.
...
After she came out of her room, she was soon greeted by Mei who took her to the same room again where she was sitting with Rein and the other girls last night. But at this time there was no one else here. Lu Shi was given a plate full of food and milk as her breakfast.
Seeing the uncertain expression on her face, Mei kindly told her that Rein and the other girls were currently cultivating and they would come out to talk to her again after about an hour. So for the time being Lu Shi was free to take her time in eating her breakfast.
Hearing that Lu Shi brought a little bit of the given food in her mouth. Last night she had not eaten anything so she was extremely hungry at the current moment. She was still a bit worried about poison. But Rein's group was just way too strong. If they wanted, they would have no trouble killing her off in no time. So there was no need for them to poison her at this point.
This was the reason why she was able to eat the food that was given to her. This once again was a very tasty meal which Lu Shi had never eaten before. Specially the sweet treat was just mind-blowing.
Just as Lu Shi was done with her breakfast Rein, Lan and Colinde came to the room. Rein greeted her good morning with a teasing look on his face and then acted surprised and exclaimed that it was already noon. Hearing this teasing Lu Shi's face turned a little red in embarrassed as she was not really used to waking up late and getting teased for that.
Then all six of them talked quite a lot and Rein gifted Lu Shi a cultivation technique that would be very useful for her and for her skill. Lu Shi obviously tried to refuse but Rein insisted for her to take it. Just like this Lu Shi almost felt that she was not alone in this world anymore and tears started to fall from her eyes without she realising it.
Everyone started to comfort her to calm her down and after she stopped crying, Lu Shi started to tell everyone about her history and why she wanted to destroy this city.
