Chapter 18: The report
"Don't ntion it. I'll be on my way then. Elder, junior sister, farewell." I said my goodbyes and started moving.
'Next stop, sword valley. Hopefully.' I muttered to myself.
The reason that I am going to go to the sword valley is none other than Yuan Jia, the matriarch.
Well, If you rember, I was going to report to her about the result of my mission on the ancient sword mark.
After returning to the sect, things kept on happening. Core elder Guo gave the opportunity of reporting the result of this mission. After that, I found our treasure girl who was about to be 'gifted' to soone who was supposedly my cousin. After that, I tried to reveal the sche that was on the play and even grandpa Long make an entrance to handle things.
As if this many events were not enough for one day, I had to have a training spar with the 'treasure girl'. you might say that this is the normal part of the day and I am on your side on this one, but if it was all that happened, I wouldn't be putting this one on this list.
After the spar, I think I have found the MC. Well, you can never be sure but now that I have marked him as a threat I can be ready for whatever is to co from him.
Now that I have ti, I have to do the first thing that I was about to do when I entered the sect.
I have to just report this before senior sister Yuan Jia cos to herself. She coming to fetch is not as pleasant as you think, she would lecture to death and to that, I have to say thanks but no thanks.
Don't get wrong she is an angel but when she gets in her big sister mode, you are in it for a judgnt on your whole life decisions…
As I was thinking of the possibility of getting a lecture, I was closing on the sword valley.
For a mont I was intrigued by the idea of using [Peeping eye of heaven] on the sword valley and check on the swords here but as quickly as it ca to , I throw it out of my mind. Why? Well, for one, I don't have a plan to go blind by the color that this valley would surely emit.
But just thinking about it I know with all the treasure swords gathered here, it would be like taking a look at the sun, directly, and when you are on its surface.
From the artifact mories, I know that you can control the level of emitted colors to so extent. If I want to describe it better, it's like when you do a filtered search and set so factors for your desired results. This is a possibility, but for now, I don't have enough control over the artifact to minimize the intensity and the brightness so I have to do a bit of training with it to get the hang of it.
Getting to the main door of the main hall, I nodded to the guards who cupped their fists to and entered the building.
Inside the building, I could see the elders going about their etings and whatnot. Smiling and nodding I greeted the elders who greeted and moved toward the matriarch chambers. This room is a temporary place for the matriarch to stay in when she is in the main hall and at the end of the day, she would go to her private living place.
Going past another level of guards who were most likely for added protection to a young matriarch, I got to her doors.
Knocking twice I heard Yuan Jia's voice.
"Co in." She said.
Opening the door, I got into her room.
"You are finally here, Huang." She told with a smile.
"Yes, there were so complications when I got in the sect so I couldn't co here sooner…" I told her with a tired face.
When she heard my words she frowned a little.
"I have heard about it. The disturbing point is that we did not get a wind of this operation going on and that ans there are so powerful players doing dirty work in this sche…" she told .
"I am afraid it is as you think, big sister." I nodded at her words.
"This was the reason that I used the [Mirror of reckoning] to get the old man there. With him investigating things, at the very least we can expect that the other party goes to the shadows for a while and there won't be such sches for a ti." I told her my estimations.
"Well, I too don't think that they would do anything out of desperation now. They must have more cards to play and this was but a childish sche." She acknowledged my words.
"That would be a good ti for us to prepare for whatever they throw at us." I continued "Although I have no plans at the mont, with more information from the interrogation of elder Zhong, we can co up with sothing."
"You are right." Yuan Jia nodded to with a pondering look on her face.
"Oh! About the ancient sword mark, I have to say that was a very pleasant experience for , I have gained more than what I thought I would." I told her enthusiastically.
"Is that so? I am glad for you." She told with a genuine smile on her face and touched my hand with hers.
For now, I would keep the existence of the [Peeping eye of heaven] a secret. I'm not trying to imitate the MCs who hide their powers and whatnot but this is an artifact that is on the level of seven big artifacts. This is not sothing that I can show without getting into a war for its ownership.
If any of the holy lands hear about its existence, waging a war is the least that could co out of it.
So for her sake and mine, I would keep this secret for a while, until I deem it safe to reveal it to big sister.
"But alas, now I have to find sothing really good for you to compensate…" I faked sadness.
She rolled her eyes at my remark.
"Anything is fine." She told dismissively.
"But let tell you one thing, you are not allowed to do this kind of stupid thing again. Do you understand?" she sternly demanded from .
"I promise." Well, she is right about my plan to fight an elder being stupid so I have nothing else to say.
"Good. For now, go get so rest, tomorrow I will co to see you." She nodded.
"I understand. Good night." I said my goodbyes and walked out of her room.
Going back to the sword mountain, I thought about my day.
Well, for a guy who is transmigrated for only a day I sure had a blast. I got so shit done, beat so shitty character, and have found a possible ally and a possible foe. So yeah, if I have to rate my day it would be 9/10 and the one point that is missing is just my style. I believe that no matter how good sothing is, it could be better so there is always room for improvent.
You can look at it from the other perspective too. No matter how bad sothing is, it could be worst.
In my past life, when I was at a low point, my dad would always say 'when a pigeon poops on you, thank god that a cow doesn't fly'.
With this ntality, you would always think of how to make things better and how they could be worse at the sa ti. From my point of view, it is a healthy habit for maximizing the results.
Now let's think about what cos next…
