"TODAY I DIE AS A LAMB, TO LIVE AGAIN AS A DEMON!"
With the final chant and a dagger on the heart, Yu Yan fell to her knees, staring fixedly at her blue pearl neckless transforming in front of her, once completely scarlet, it fell back to the blue color, and everything used for the spell burned to nothing.
Seeing this, Yu Yan smiled weakly and fell backward.
"Leaving my very own existence to luck, maybe I am already half a devil"
----------------------
"I'm sorry young lady, I tried but elder Huang didn't even bother to come himself. His apprentice came on his behalf with an apology gift. I'm sorry for this servant incapacity."
A middle-aged man bowed while reporting.
"But didn't elder Huang guaranteed? Now he's saying he chosen someone else?! Is a man's word just dog barks now?!" The veiled girl retorted in anger.
Old man Arthur, steward for the military Chang family looked at his young lady and sighed. She's virtuous but too inexperienced. As the master said, her ideal will collide with reality, and she'll be dealt a heavy blow.
"Young Lady is certainly the most virtuous and righteous, and naturally the best choice elder Huang would have for a personal disciple. But Lady Wang Lei gu appeared as a dark horse and as the kingdom's most doted upon young princess she is more appealing to elder Huang and Light Sect's eyes."
Zhi Rui looked at steward dumbfounded.
Lady Wang? Wang Lei gu!? The one who won't stop her scandals from spreading but instead having pride in them?! I never revealed my face in public, not one part of my body touched a man's skin. Eighteen years of devotion to the beliefs of the light sect, to be replaced by material benefit and politics? Didn't the god of light disdained such acts!?
Suddenly the memories of her father's words, the general of the kingdom. Stating she was too naive and that this world is run by men, not gods. appeared in her head.
She suddenly felt lost, all she did was for naught. Just like everything her dad spoke to her, benefits spoke louder than any virtue. It doesn't matter how much you're willing to do, you're only valued by the benefit you offer.
"Uncle Arthur please prepare the carriage we are going back." She said.
The old steward looked at her and sighed profoundly. Having everything she needed since young, suffering this kind of set back at this age will shock more than if she were to be younger.
The old steward delivered the box he got from elder Huang's apprentice as an apology to her and went to prepare the carriage.
She observed the box in her hands, a beautiful delicate blue pearl neckless laid in. She walked to the side where there was an old village well, she extended her hands above it, but couldn't throw it down, eighteen years of faith couldn't be thrown away in a matter of instants. And elder Huang said it belonged to the late tower maiden, who passed a week ago. the second most powerful figure in the entirety of the sect.
"Maybe I could enter as an ordinary disciple and conquer the ranks, it'll take a longer time and more struggle but it'll be more rewarding."
Thinking like this, Zhi Rui smiled with red-rimmed eyes and put the neckless on herself.
---------
Arthur heard a commotion while ordering the soldier to prepare, looking back he saw his Young lady vomiting beside an old well, with both hands on her head kneeling on the ground with a vivid blood red neckless on her neck.
"Young lady, what happened?!"
He rushed through the curious people and reached her side.
He was going to use inner energy to see her state, but he knows she won't even allow her father to check her, so he hesitated.
He didn't know, the second he wasted, took his virtuous young lady away, and gave way to something else to crawl back.
Suddenly Zhi Rui stopped and looked up in a daze, breathing deeply she got up and started to look around as if she was seeing the sky for the first time.
"Ha-haha haHAha HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" She started laughing, laughing uproariously.
Arthur couldn't understand the situation, he could only blame it in the shock she received for being rejected. Yet the sight of her in such wild joy and almost hysterical laugh made the hairs on his body stood up. The chill scared him, and he wanted to stop it.
So he screamed.
"Young lady Zhi Rui!"
At last, the laughter stopped and silence prevailed.
But Arthur didn't feel relief, his lady directed her gaze at him. And while he couldn't see her eyes due to the veil, her mouth and neck were visible and the most stunning unrestrained smile was showing on her face. A chill crawled on his back again, and he got agitated.
"Y-Young lady, I'm sorry this servant was worried and was presumptuous is young lady fine? Do you need a medicinal palet?"
Zhi Rui nodded and added, "Uncle Arthur, let's depart as soon as possible.
I disdain to stay here longer then I need."
She said so while getting into her own carriage.
"Understood Young Lady."
Arthur felt restless towards the Young lady, but he did not know why.
Perhaps it's his age messing with his head.
