Counting Oneâs Chickens Before They Are Hatched [8]
On the bumpy carriage ride back, Huang Bei Yue sat inside while holding her hands. She is thinking about the words that Xiao Qi Yuan had said before.
Heâs right. In the Karte continent, no matter how strong the expert, without a powerful force to rely on, one canât walk horizontally.
In this world, she doesnât intend to be arrogant or oppress others. Itâs just that as her strength gets stronger and stronger, the enemies she will face will also be stronger. She is just one person. There will be times where she wonât be able to handle everything. If sheâs not careful and offend a deep-rooted and formidable force, then even her strength will have a limit. Even if itâs âthat personâ that Yan had talked about, it would be impossible for âthat personâ to handle everything alone.
The Bu Ji Er family, Bei Yao countryâs Yu Wen family, the mysterious Guan Yao Hall that had never shown its face, and Asura city are all powerful forces. With the current strength that she has, she canât afford to even offend one of them. She slowly thought about it. Her mind has gradually formed a plan. She needs to build her own force step-by-step. She would need to recruit experts. In the future, if she offends a powerful force, sheâll have a strong force thatâll support her! Huang Bei Yue always had a unique personality. She doesnât like to rely on other people. But in this era, it is different. This is an era where people devour raw meat and fowls. Itâs an unstable and unpeaceful era because of the power struggle between various countries! This era needs heroes, but not just an individual hero! Her mind is very meticulous and thorough. She isnât be blinded by her own arrogance. But there is a little selfish reason why she wants her own force. In this era, everyone can compete for power. So why canât she? âPrincess, we have arrived,â the horse-keeper said respectfully as the carriage has stopped. Huang Bei Yue withdrew her train of thought. Her elegant and exquisite face gradually has a resolute look. She opened the curtain and stepped down from the carriage. Originally, the horse-keeper standing on the side and swinging the horsewhip. Suddenly, when he saw the noble air around her body as she was coming out, he was scared witless. He straightened his body and looked at her in awe. He watched her until she entered Princess Zhangâs residence. Only then, had he let out a breath of air. He canât help but wonder how a twelve-year-old girl can have such a fearful imposing manner.
The Xiao family wasnât present in Princess Zhangâs residence. They were still at Ling Yang college watching the competitions. Xiao Zhong Qi and Xiao Yunâs battle wasnât finished yet so they wonât be back for a while.
The news of Huang Bei Yueâs extraordinary performance at the testing field where she defeated two of the Government Ministerâs experts havenât reach Princess Zhangâs residence yet. Therefore, the people in the residence still doesnât know anything.
Huang Bei Yue walked through the back garden, ready to return to Flowing Clouds Pavilion. But she unexpectedly heard Concubine Qinâs voice from the lotus pond.
âYou should work hard, even Iâm not angry! Look at your useless appearance! You canât do anything correctly. What difference is there between Huang Bei Yue that trash and you?â
Concubine Qinâs voice was very sharp. Sheâs probably thinking that everyone had gone to Ling Yang College today besides a few other concubines and servants. So her words were very unrestrained.
âAunt Qin, I have always done as you instructed. Iâm not born with any talent and my mother isnât a young lady from a prestigious family. How can a noble son from a big family take a liking to me?â
The sobbing and weeping sound belong to Xiao Ling. She was probably scolded by Concubine Qin for quite a long time so she mustâve felt very wronged.
Originally, Huang Bei Yue didnât want to meddle in other peopleâs business. That Xiao Ling isnât a good thing. Sheâll happily let those dogs bite each other. But when Concubine Qin had yelled that sheâs trash, it ignited a fire inside Huang Bei Yueâs heart.
