Corrupt Creations

The carriage finally stopped, but it wasn't because they had arrived at their destination, but because there were two carriages blocking the path in front of them.

Inside their carriage, Seth, Rina and Chun Meihui were able to hear the loud discussion happening on the outside.

"You fool! I don't believe you've let the horses pulling your carriage bump so hard against my carriage. That must have been on purpose!"

"On purpose?! It was your fault! You must have ordered to your carriage driver to stop it abruptly, causing all of this!"

"To stop it abruptly? We were not moving at all, from the very beginning! You're a donkey. I don't know how a person like you was even able to learn anything on this life."

"You! I will beat you up!"

The commotion continued, but even though the people outside seemed to be very agitated, there weren't sounds of physical conflicts. However, they kept insulting the other one, making Seth lose his patience and open the door of his carriage to stop whatever was happening outside.

He left his carriage and saw two young men cursing at each other, while there were many more people beside them just watching the whole thing. Those people were the ones riding the carriage together with them. Some were members of their families, some were servants.

Seth was about to step forwards and ask for them to open up a path, allowing him to proceed, when suddenly he heard the sound of another carriage stopping behind his.

That carriage was entirely blue and there seemed to be many wood carvings done by a manual work, full of rich details. When Seth looked towards it, he had the perception that only someone very rich would have something like that.

There was a servant driving the carriage on the outside, but Seth was surprised to see that he was a Qi Transformation late-stage cultivator. That level of cultivation was something really incredible in this country, something not easily achieved. The strongest practitioner living here was a Mana Perception initial-stage cultivator and that driver was not so far from that.

There was a great disparity between citizens from a country and practitioners from a Higher Ground. Not only practitioners from a Higher Ground had a lot more resources for cultivation, but the main cause of that disparity were the inheritances those places had. The techniques or bloodline they had in possession, were something even a big number of resources couldn't cover.

The driver suddenly heard a voice coming from inside the carriage. Very quickly, he descended and went forward to resolve the situation.

Seth was able to hear that voice, noticing it was a female voice. However, it was full of authority, with an ordering and discontent tone.

The driver passed by Seth and walked towards the scene where there was a huge commotion happening. Instead of politely asking them to stop, he released hi Qi, making everyone feel the pressure he was emitting.

He approached slowly while saying: "Young Master Chen, Young Master Huang, I would like that both of you to end this meaningless conflict and stop obstructing the road. The Young Lady is in a very bad mood today and if I were you, I wouldn't like to become her target on such occasions."

Both young masters looked towards him and were about to curse him as well, when they suddenly recognized that old man.

"Old man Zhao? What are you doing here?" One of them asked with a mild voice.

Old man Zhao was none other than the butler responsible for the needs of the members of the noble Blue Breeze Jiang Family. He was an important character that must be respected.

"I'm accompanying the Young Lady back from her special entrance exam, but both of you are bothering her smooth journey, obstructing the road like that."

"The Young Lady?!"

"Oh my god! Quickly, bring the carriage off the road! Take those things away!"

Very quickly, both of them ordered their servants to clean up the path, opening enough space for a carriage to pass through.

Seth was observing everything; however, he wasn't able to figure out if their reaction was because of that Young Lady or because they feared her status.

In the end, he would be benefited by that, so he didn't bother trying to discover. He was uninterested on all that and just wanted to reach the city, where he would be able to acquire some information.

Butler Zhao went back to his driver seat and started to drive the blue carriage away, passing by Seth and his carriage.

When her carriage was passing by Seth, the Young Lady inside looked towards him through a small side window.

In a single second, her world seemed to be turning upside down after she saw him. Her mood was really not that good, since her entrance exam didn't go how she expected, but after seeing his face, it was like she had changed.

He was the perfect toy for her to vent some of her frustrations.

Seth didn't have his Soul Sense active, so he wasn't able to see her or her reaction, but if he saw it, he would have felt he was being eyed by a predator right now.

"Butler Zhao, I want you to invite that young man to the banquet. Quick, go and invite him!"

Old Man Zhao heard her words and looked towards Seth, that had just entered his carriage. He couldn't understand why the young lady wanted to invite a person like him for her noble party, but he knew her mood was a bit sour and decided to do what she wanted.

He stopped the carriage once again, alerting everyone on the surrounding.

Old Man Zhao descended once again, and walked towards Seth's carriage. Young Master Chen and Young Master Huang observed that with a curious expression.

They had just learnt that the Young Lady form the Blue Breeze Hiang Family was not content with the results of her evaluation, so whatever happened, would be something incredible to witness.
