Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman - Chapter 326

Chapter 326: She’s The Only One Who Can Do Something Crazy Like This

The great elder looked at the giant dragon hovering on top of the cave. He wiped his face, then looked at the youngsters who were standing behind him, dumbfounded looks on their faces. He shook his head helplessly, “Don’t be shocked just by this, there are more shocking things at the back.”

The others didn’t react to his words, staying in the same state. The great elder touched his nose, not knowing what else to say to snap them back to their senses.

Some of the elders had already recovered, only the youths of the group remained in their shocked state. They were even looking at the people from Peace Manor with a dazed look on their faces.

Earlier, they had been envious of the terrifying strength that the people from Peace Manor had. The top hundred ranking in the Trial Tower had mainly been taken over by them, after all.

At this moment, they realized that the people from Peace Manor didn’t suddenly get their terrifying strength from nowhere. They looked at all of them who were training in desperately frightening ways, and they even started training so early in the morning. They didn’t have the look of someone who had just woken up.

Their frightening strength wasn’t without reason.

Gu Xiqiao glanced at the people who were still rooted to the spot, and spoke thoughtfully, “You guys are here a bit earlier, give me two minutes.”

The group of people from the ancient martial arts world merely nodded dumbly at her.

Wu Hongwen came out at this time, a pot of hot water in his hands. He poured the water into where the Peace Squad took their water from, and his actions confused the group from the ancient martial arts world. But what came after made them feel like they were going crazy.

Gu Xiqiao walked over to it, tossing a handful of brown pills into it!

Look at that!

It was a bunch of it!

One single elixir pill that could let an ordinary person enter the Chi Induction stage!

And…

The tired members of Peace Squad walked over and poured themselves a bowl, and drank it down just like that. It was as though it was a normal occurrence for them.

Then, Gu Xiqiao walked to the side of a group of Peacekeepers who were sparring against each other. Raising her hand, the spear that was placed on the weapon rack came to her hand.

Seeing Gu Xiqiao’s actions, Yao Jiamu and everyone else’s eyes lit up, and they all stepped forward as though begging for a beating.

Gu Xiqiao rarely sparred with them, but whenever she did, they felt their strength increase by another level!

“All five of you who are learning to wield the spear, come at me together,” Gu Xiqiao said, standing where she was, pointing her fingers at five people.

The five who had been pointed at walked out slowly, looks of disbelief on their faces. The envious gazes of everyone else followed them as they did.

“No way, how does Miss Gu remember who is learning what?” One of the youths from the ancient martial arts world said in surprise.

“You’re concerned about that? Think about it, there were no fluctuations in the air at all just now, but the long spear just appeared in Miss Gu’s hands when she raised it, how did she do that?”

The bunch of them only spoke a few words before shutting their mouths, because Gu Xiqiao had started to move.

The five Peacekeepers were extremely proficient in their long spear techniques, it definitely exceeded a master’s level! The five spear-users were smooth in their movements, easily working together. The five people seemed to move as one, in a world of their own as they fought. Even the great elder was shocked at how fluid their movements were.

They didn’t expect the Peacekeepers to have such a deep understanding of the long spear to this extent!

Gu Xiqiao raised the long spear in her hands slowly, her wrist snapping slightly, piercing the speak into the five of them.

When Gu Xiqiao swung her spear, everyone present could see the space around it distorting.

The defensive formation that the five had made was broken instantly.

Everyone was jaw-slacked at the impressively impossible shot that Gu Xiqiao made, as though a new perception of space had been revealed to them.

Boom!

Boom!

The crashing sound of the five Peacekeepers falling to the ground seemed to snap everyone from the ancient martial arts world awake, and their eyes turned to the thin, slender figure, a cross of horror and admiration on their faces. None of them had any words, and her face remained the usual indifferent, calm look that she had, as though she had done nothing out of the ordinary.

Everyone present from the ancient martial arts world naturally knew that Gu Xiqiao had not used a single ounce of chi, nor any of her lightning powers when she had made her swing. It was all her insight of the techniques of the long spear that had broken through their offense and defense.

“Miss, I have a hunch that I’ll break through today!” The five of them exclaimed at the same time, their faces flushed red with excitement.

After a wave of her hands, they immediately left for the caves, preparing for their breakthrough.

The group from the ancient martial arts world was looking at the Peacekeepers with jealousy in their eyes. Being able to be under the powerful Gu Xiqiao, and to get such detailed and careful guidance from her, it was just—too enviable, so despicable!

Everyone knows that Gu Xiqiao was not a person who would pick up something like the long spear, because it didn’t help her improve any of her skills at all. So why would she have picked it up, and even take the effort to understand the techniques of the weapon? Obviously, it was because she wanted to be able to guide and teach the members of the Peace Squad properly!

In just three short months, the Peacekeepers, who all started out as ordinary people, could develop this far. The ancient martial arts world suddenly realized at this moment that Gu Xiqiao was a person who didn’t need to rely on anyone else’s power, because she herself was a miraculous existence.

At this moment, countless people in the ancient martial arts world only wanted to ask her one question. My dear, does your Peace Manor lack any manpower right now?

However, with such a cold and chilling look on her face, none of them dared to voice it out. Some of them even thought back to when Peace Manor first came to the ancient martial arts world, they had chosen the fifth ring area which had no spiritual powers in it and had been secretly mocked by many people.

But now that they thought about it, Peace Manor didn’t need any help from the ambient spiritual powers to help them advance their levels, because it was enough that they had Gu Xiqiao!

One month ago, even the outer disciples looked down on the fifth ring area, because there was no spiritual aura in it. But at this moment, all of them were going nuts about wanting to come here and stay!

“Miss Gu.” Baili Wen, who was in the Peace Squad suddenly seemed to think of something as he scratched his head. “There’s one person in the Baili family who’s quite talented. Our eleventh team only has nine people, and we’re missing one. Would it be possible for him to join Peace Manor?”

Baili Bin had stuffed Baili Wen over not long ago, and he had formed a team with Shi Qin and the others. However, the teams in Peace Squads were made up of ten people each, and they only had nine people. They were unable to form the Five Elements Formation with nine people, so every time there was a mission, they weren’t able to participate and stayed behind in Peace Manor, basically just guarding the doors.

So the nine of them had discussed amongst themselves, and decided to find someone to fill the last spot. Baili Wen was the one who thought of one person who had a fairly good relationship with him.

Gu Xiqiao nodded her head. “I wanted to find someone initially, but since you guys have already discussed and thought of someone, that’s even better. But you have to ask them whether they’re willing to join or not first.”

Willing! Of course we’re all willing! They didn’t even need any time to consider this! The current generation of the ancient martial arts world was all at your beck and call, reaching out their hands to you just for a chance to be picked by you! They only had endless regret in their heart, if they knew that this would happen, they would have tried to cultivate a better relationship with the people from the Peace Manor when they were able to last time. Who knows, maybe they would have been able to be selected to join the manor if they did?

When they thought of this, some of their eyes couldn’t help but turn to the Shi family. As expected, the faces of the Shi family elders were full of regret and grief.

The great elder of the Shi family felt as though his heart was being stabbed again and again by sharp knives. Shi Qin was originally a member of the Shi family, and he had been kicked out because he joined Peace Manor. There was so much arrogance in their family at that time when they did that, and now there were only endless regrets!

Looking at all that Peace Manor had now, the powerful exercise drills, heaven-defying elixir pills, and Gu Xiqiao’s personal guidance!

They watched Shi Qin chatting with Gu Xiqiao, if they had treated Shi Qin kindly in the beginning, would they have been under the care of Peace Manor right now?

The saddest thing in the world was the hope that they already had in their hands, had been utterly crushed by their own ignorant hands.

The great elder of the Shi family couldn’t stand the gazes of everyone around him, and he left in embarrassment with his tail tucked between his legs.

The group from the ancient martial arts world watched as the sparring sessions of the Peacekeepers changed formation, breaking into teams of ten. It was now one team against another, and the ten people in each team were unpredictable in their movements, each step and person had unique rhythms, the rumbling sound constantly echoing in their ears. There were also occasional spatial cracks in the air, this degree… this degree of moves had obviously surpassed masters at Xiantian level!

But, weren’t they obviously only at the level of Bone Refinement?!

The great elder looked at the others who were stunned speechless, and he stroked his beard. “I did say that you were shocked much too early. This is the real strength of the Peacekeepers, what you’ve seen before this was just the tip of the iceberg.”

Nobody had the slightest doubt at the great elder’s words at this moment, the fact was right in front of their eyes after all.

Gu Xiqiao waved her hands slightly, looking at the people who were still looking dumbfounded. She flashed them a faint smile. “You guys can also be this strong.”

Her voice usually sounded clear and melodious, like the sound of jade. Now, she deliberately lowered her voice a little, and it was on the deeper side. On the other side, the Peace Squad teams were still ‘booming’ around, but even then, her low voice seemed to echo in the ears of everyone from the ancient martial arts world.

The Peace Squads were in full swing in their spar, roaring and kicking up a racket, while there was only silence from the people from the ancient martial arts world!

What did she say—they… they could also be strong like them?

“Can we really, Miss Gu?” One of them swallowed heavily, his voice weak as he voiced his question.

Gu Xiqiao turned her eyes to the one who spoke, her eyes seemed to sparkle under the lights as she slowly curled her lips. “With me here, there is nothing impossible.”

The words she spoke were loud and clear, and everyone who heard it felt their heartbeat increase rapidly.

If these words had been spoken by anyone else, they definitely would feel that the person was arrogant and bragging. But it had been spoken by Gu Xiqiao, and they could only feel a faint sense of shock coursing through them, and thoughts of ‘of course’, because the proof was right behind her.

“From today onwards, I will create the most suitable training plan for all of you.” Gu Xiqiao raised her hand, a few pieces of paper in them. “These papers will be posted on your training area, I’ll be taking you guys for two days.”

The surprise came quickly, and everyone was looking at Gu Xiqiao. After determining that she wasn’t joking, their hearts beat faster again, their eyes already full of admiration and worship when looking at her.

The great elder looked at all their expressions, and then towards Gu Xiqiao, who had rallied them all with just a few words, and he couldn’t help the feeling of being deeply moved that he felt.

What they didn’t expect was the surprise that Gu Xiqiao gave them didn’t stop here. When the elders of their families received ancient texts that exuded spiritual powers, they felt as though their bodies were no longer their own. It was practically just… unbelievable.

At this moment, the elders would stare at Gu Xiqiao in shock. They would look at the books in their hands, and not be able to speak for a long time.

Initially, when they had first heard that the ancient texts that had been handed down through the generations were fake, they had been at a loss, wondering what direction their families would head towards in the future. But none of them would have imagined, for Gu Xiqiao to hand them new ancient texts!

The entire area was silent, except for the heavy breathing of the people. Even the elders who had always put on a calm face, their fingertips were trembling and their hearts were beating hard.

It was such a heavy gift, and perhaps it was nothing worth meaning in Gu Xiqiao’s view, but to the families, it was an extremely important matter. It was like sending charcoal to them in the heavy snow, and some of them could be seen to have red-rimmed eyes.

This was hope, Gu Xiqiao had given them hope!

Gu Xiqiao led the group of elders into the lobby of Peace Manor. “There are too many people from the ancient martial arts world, so their training location will not be here.”

“We know.” The great elder nodded, acknowledging this fact. Peace Manor belonged to the Peace Squad after all, they didn’t think that the training location would be here. “But where will it be?”

Gu Xiqiao didn’t reply, pulling out a map instead.

If Jiji was here, it would have noticed and pointed out that this was the map of the ancient martial arts world that Gu Xiqiao had taken before they had left for Mingzhou.

Slender, white fingers tapped at a location. “They will go here.”

Everyone followed her finger tapping, and a look of horror and surprise appeared on their faces. One of the elders hurriedly said, “The Mountain Range Of Death? You can’t go there, Miss Gu!”

The Mountain Range of Death was shrouded by malicious and evil spirits all year round. Those who entered would either have their senses confused, or be gnawed down to their bones by the evil spirits there. It wasn’t even a place that the elders would enter lightly, whatmore to say to a group of youngsters from the ancient martial arts world. If they were to enter, there wouldn’t even be bones left to pick up!

“Not only will they enter the Mountain Range of Death, they will also have to beat those murderous creatures there until they doubt their own lives!” Gu Xiqiao reached out to knock on the table, emphasizing her point.

The elders raised their heads to look at Gu Xiqiao, whose face remained indifferent and unmoved by their concern. They suddenly quieted down, and in just that moment, even their old faces were filled with calm and passion.

To have the Mountain Range of Death as their training grounds, and let the youngsters of the ancient martial arts world kill those murderous creatures. Only Gu Xiqiao would be able to do such a crazy thing like this, and it could only be her.
