From the mysterious Legitimate Young Lady of Xuan Shi Mansion to the useless person unable to cultivate Mysterious Energy, Ouyang Zixin became the hottest topic in the imperial capital within a single day.
Not to mention that ordinary commoners rarely have the opportunity to witness the excitement of these nobles; even Nan Gong Yao, the Sovereign of the Exiled Nation, expressed deep regret with a remark of "What a pity" after hearing Nangong Tuo's description.
Fortunately, the guards accompanying Nangong Tuo that day were not present; otherwise, they would have looked down upon Nangong Tuo's gossiping behavior with disdain.
"Investigate." In Room One of Fengyuan Tower, a man dressed in dark purple attire stood with his hands clasped behind him at the window, gazing into the distance.
Just two words, and it was unclear to whom he was speaking. There was clearly no one else in the room...
"Master, who should we investigate?" Suddenly, another voice emerged from within the room, seemingly close by yet invisible.
"Ouyang Hao... and Ouyang Zixin." The Purple-Clad Man slightly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over a corner of the wall, seemingly displeased with the questioner.
"Ouyang Zixin?" The mention of this name was unexpected; the Master was actually interested in a little girl?
"What should we investigate?" Although surprised, the decision of the Master was beyond his speculation; he just needed to focus on doing his job well.
"Everything, in detail." The Purple-Clad Man's tone clearly revealed his impatience, exuding an aura of coldness.
"Understood."
After a ripple in the air, calm returned to the room.
The Purple-Clad Man slowly turned around; sunlight streamed in from outside, casting a golden glow around him that was dazzling. This man was suddenly revealed to be one of the guards who had been with Nangong Tuo that day.
After sending someone out, the Purple-Clad Man also left Fengyuan Tower and headed toward the palace...
Outside, the world was bustling and chaotic, but Xuan Shi Mansion was well-protected by Ouyang Hao. There were no malicious gossips circulating, so Ouyang Zixin remained unaware that she had become a topic of discussion in the imperial capital. Each day she still lounged in her Study, appearing carefree; even if she knew about the unpleasant rumors outside, she likely wouldn't care at all.
Did Ouyang Zixin really care?
What was there to care about? She wasn't originally from this world; why should she adhere to its rules? Ouyang Zixin had never taken seriously the notion that being unable to cultivate Mysterious Energy meant living at the bottom of society.
Was being at the so-called bottom truly just because one couldn't cultivate Mysterious Energy? Did those from noble families not have children who also couldn't cultivate Mysterious Energy? Just because they couldn't cultivate Mysterious Energy did it mean those children lived lives of hardship like common folk?
Hehe, impossible!
Even without the protection of the family and unable to enjoy the best resources they provide, at least there will still be enough food, clothing, and even the status one should have.
Looking at Xuan Shi Mansion, there is only Ouyang Zixin as the Legitimate Young Lady. Everything in this mansion will belong to her in the future. Since she has no worries about food and clothing, why should she care about whether she can cultivate Mysterious Energy? Is it necessary for a young lady to expose herself and risk her cultivation for a better life?
Hmph, ridiculous!
Ouyang Zixin accepting the test is merely respecting the rules of this continent, but that does not mean she agrees with such rules.
She has already done what she needed to do; expecting Ouyang Zixin to devote more attention is completely impossible. With that time and energy, it would be better to read a couple more books...
The young lady really knows how to keep her composure. Liu Ying winked at Liu Lvy.
When have you ever seen the young lady lose her composure? Liu Lvy rolled her eyes secretly; you really don't understand the young lady at all.
I care about the young lady, okay? I'm praising her! Liu Ying pouted, directly ignoring Liu Lvy's eye roll.
Are you sure you're not just trying to Gossip? Are you sure you're not about to burst? Liu Lvy nudged Ouyang Zixin with her chin, go ask her yourself.
"If you two keep exchanging glances like that, you might as well wait outside." These two maids are getting bolder; do they really think I can't notice their little actions while reading?
"Please don't blame us, Miss. We know we were wrong." Liu Ying and Liu Lu's speed in admitting their mistakes is unquestionable; it's just uncertain whether their attitude is as convincing as their speed.
Since Ouyang Zixin was two years old, Liu Ying and Liu Lu have been assigned to serve her, making them long-time attendants. Usually, these two maids take great care of her, but their personalities are a bit too lively.
"You two, how long have you been cultivating Mysterious Energy?" Although the two maids usually do not reveal their cultivation levels, Ouyang Zixin still has some sense of it.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu were taken aback by her question, exchanging glances and momentarily forgetting to respond.
"You don't need to be surprised. Have you never seen a pig run after eating pork?" I know you can use Mysterious Energy; it's nothing worth being astonished about.
At this moment, the two maids didn't have time to ponder whether Ouyang Zixin's metaphor was appropriate. When they later recalled being compared to pigs, they felt terrible. However, having missed the best opportunity to defend themselves, it was too late...
It turns out that Liu Ying and Liu Lu were personally selected by Madam Ouyang; one side is to take care of Ouyang Zixin while also providing protection. Liu Ying cultivates Purple Xuan Summoning, while Liu Lvy cultivates Orange Element Body; both are quite skilled in martial arts.
"In terms of cultivation, I've already been sentenced to death. Since you both have some foundation, I will find an opportunity another day for my father to arrange for you to further your studies. Staying by my side will put my parents' minds at ease."
Although she was not quite sure what further studies meant, it did not hinder the two maids from understanding Ouyang Zixin's intentions.
The young lady was going to cultivate them. Excited, the two of them knelt down and expressed their gratitude for Ouyang Zixin's nurturing.
"You don't need to kneel. If you know how to be grateful, there will be opportunities for you to show your worth in the future." After saying this, she waved them away.
Ouyang Zixin was not someone who expected nothing in return for her kindness; nurturing the two maids was also for her own benefit. Especially in a society with clear class distinctions, it was better to let them understand their value rather than engage in heartfelt exchanges with them.
Having utilitarian value is also a form of value, isn't it?
Ouyang Zixin leaned her left hand on the armrest of the couch, her fingers tapping lightly.
"Tap tap tap..."
With the two maids arranged, it was time to think about herself. Since she could not practice Mysterious Energy, she needed to make some plans for her future; she couldn't rely on her parents for her entire life, could she? Sitting on mountains of gold and silver and consuming it all without effort?
Was it really impossible for scholarly pursuits to become a viable option? In terms of martial power, as long as there were suitable people to protect her, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. She wasn't going out into the world; there shouldn't be any danger.
Scholarly pursuits... pathways... future...
Ouyang Zixin fell into deep thought, and by the time she came back to her senses, it was already getting late.
