"....." Rui Wei looked at Uncle Xu suspiciously.
'Don't reincarnated people usually have an infatuated demonically beautiful but cold blooded killer on their side?!!? Or an extremely powerful being with an unparalleled looks??!' Rui Wei thought to herself, 'Those Novels sure are misleading!'
"Ahem, as you said, I will be leaving tomorrow." Unlce Xu changed the subject as he saw that justifying himself made him more suspicious.
'I just intended to tease him a bit and it actually backfired!' Uncle Xu felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.
"O-oh... I see, your destination is?" The youth asked.
"Oh, it's the Dragonsvein Kingdom. The Dragonsvein Kingdom is my hometown, I just had a business trip here on Qin Kingdom... But, Qin Kingdom had been quite strict these past few months it actually took me a whole month before I could go out! And I could only export such a little merchandise." Uncle Xu looked at the three carriages outside, normally when he goes on a business trip he would buy atleast 10 carriages worth of merchandise.
"Ahaha... Well, the war between the Qin Kingdom and Lunalodor was quite a brutal afterall. I heard they even manage to kill General Dou's 3rd Wife while his 2nd son is missing."
"I also heard about it, but to think they would go as far as breaking the rules of war. They did nothing but tarnish their reputation." His face darkened as he heard the Lunalodor's shameless act.
"Uncle Xu, may I ask if perhaps you still have some space in your carriage?"
"Hmm? Well there's a lot of space actually but it won't be for free, if you're a martial artist or a mage, I can give you a discount." Uncle Xu's face suddenly changed into one of a business-like face. Rui Wei had no thoughts of free loading on the carriage since she actually has money on her hands.
"Hmm-- how much it is per person?"
The two of them talk back and forth about the price until Uncle Xu came to know that Sona is a peak 3rd class mage, that is when he agreed to let them ride for free. Rui Wei's eyes were opened that 3rd rank mages were actually valued this much, just how powerful was the Dou Manor was? Almost all of the servants inside the Dou Manor were 3rd ranked mages and above!
Rui Wei's brows furrowed, 3rd mages were actually valued this much?

Early in the morning, Merchant Xu's Group was preparing to leave the Smaol Village.
Sona was inside the carriage with Ruzi, while Rui Wei's figure can't be seen.
Sona was fiddling around with the talisman that Rui Wei gave her. This was a sound talisman that Rui Wei created, Sona doesn't know at how Rui Wei got her hands on this valuable talisman, but to give it to a mere servant like her, her Miss is really something.
'Tear this talismam to activate it, that way you can contact me.' That was Rui Wei's instruction before she left. Sona doesn't know where her Miss went but she firmly believes that her Miss would be back before the time.

"Oi, Miss, is your young master not here yet?"
"Pardon us, Uncle Xu, but my young master will be here shortly." Sona said with certainty.
"Oh, it's fine we're not in a rush or something, I was just curious.."Merchant Xu answered with a smile, then left to instruct his servants.
Sona looked at Merchant Xu's figure, and anxiousness spread on her heart.
'Ah, Young Miss, where are you?!'

Inside the Minor Beast forest--
A young man jumped trees after trees, fast and agile. His red hair shined with luster as they danced with the wind---
*Graaaaaa*
'Godfucking damnit! How'd I end up like this?!'
"Oi! You two, get your asses here!" I shouted as I blocked the attack of the Fire Boar which is heading towards them. I call it Fire boar, because it looks like a goddamn boar with it's fur burning, and eyes ferociously glinting with blood.
*psssssss*
Sounds of ice quickly evaporating sounded out.
"T-thanks..." The two's face was deathly pale, as they realized that they just narrowly avoided death.
"Stop dawdling around and run!!!" I once again reminded them, as I cast spells after spells.
The surrounding air was vibrating as Fire and Ice clashed, the Master-Servant pair ran as fast as they could, while I continued to shoot out spells to cover them up.
"Tsk, This is quite tiresome." If these Master and Servant Pair wasn't here, I would have jumped towards the beast and killed it in one stroke.
I pulled out one of the talismans that I prepared before, also making sure that the Master Servant pair didn't see me pulling out the talisman.
*Swiiiiish*
Throwing it towards the beasts, I compressed the water Qi on my hand--
I then dashed towards the beast, slamming my hands on his face.
*Baaaaaaaaam*
The beasts were thrown 7 meters away, breaking several trees on the process, I dashed towards his large build. But before I freeze it completely,
I looked behind me as I could not feel those two's presence anymore, I widened my perception a bit more and...I immediately found them.
"There they are."
I shifted my attention back to the barely breathing beast. Taking a deep breath, I placed my hand on beasts body which is covered with blood. His blood started to crystalized, as I freeze his whole body.
The talisman that I threw to him earlier was simply created by compressing the water Qi inside, once activated the Water Qi would burst out like a bomb, damadging anything within the distance of 5 meters. While the enemy would be physically injured, the water Qi would also linger around their body for a limited time giving me the chance to freeze them in a speed visible to the eyes.
Since the living body has now turned into a carcass, the Spatial ring would not resist it anymore. I waved my hand and the huge carcass disappeared.

"Haa, haa--"
"7th Elder, don't you think that we should call our people to help that red-haired youth?" Cui Leng said between his ragged breath.
"What are you saying young master?! Even if we called for more people right now, we would just be hindering that Master, can't you see his bearings?! he had the air of an expert!! He had probably let us run first as he saw as hindrance!"
"I-is that so?" Cui Leng looked at the 7th Elder with disbelief, but it was so fast that the 7th elder did not notice it.
'That red-haired youth was clearly having a hard time fighting the beast!' Cui Leng said at the back of his mind, but his face showed that he completely believed the 7th elder's words.
"ha... Anyways, young master, it was really dangerous of you to wander around the forest at such time, If that Expert didn't come in time, not only me but also you, Young Master, would have met one's end!"
"Yes, I'll be sure to remember this." Cui Leng cupped his fist together, showing that he took the elder's words to heart. But in an angle that the 7th Elder could not see, Cui Lengs face was full of disappointment and disgust.
"After we get back on the main house, we should persuade the expert to come with us, as to pay his good deed, and while were at it, we should probably invite him to be the guest of our house..." The 7th Elder's head was already turning as how he should persuade the expert to side them. Not only would their Cui Clan get an additional strength, the head might also pardon his lax attitude towards the young master!
