On the bumpy carriage ride back, Huang Bei Yue sat inside while holding her hands. She was thinking about the words that Xiao Qi Yuan had said before.
He's right. In the Karta continent, no matter how strong the expert, without a powerful force to rely on, one can't walk horizontally.
In this world, she doesn't intend to be arrogant or oppress others. It's 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 won't be able to handle everything.
If she's not careful and offend a deep-rooted and formidable force, then even her strength will have a limit. Even if it's 'that person' that Yan had talked about, it would be impossible for 'that person' to handle everything alone.
The Bu Ji Er family, Bei Yao country's 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 can't 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, she'll have a strong force that'll support her! Huang Bei Yue always had a unique personality. She doesn't like to rely on other people.
But in this era, it is different. This is an era where people devour raw meat and fowls. It's 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 isn't be blinded by her own arrogance.
But there was a little selfish reason why she wants her own force. In this era, everyone can compete for power. So why can't she? "Princess, we have arrived," 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 Zhang's residence. Only then, had he let out a breath of air. He can't help but wonder how a twelve-year-old girl can have such a fearful imposing manner.
The Xiao family wasn't present in Princess Zhang's residence. They were still at Ling Yang college watching the competitions. Xiao Zhong Qi and Xiao Yun's battle wasn't finished yet so they won't be back for a while.
The news of Huang Bei Yue's extraordinary performance at the testing field where she defeated two of the Government Minister's experts haven't reach Princess Zhang's residence yet. Therefore, the people in the residence still doesn't know anything.
Huang Bei Yue walked through the back garden, ready to return to Flowing Clouds Pavilion. But she unexpectedly heard Concubine Qin's voice from the lotus pond.
"You should work hard, even I'm not angry! Look at your useless appearance! You can't do anything correctly. What difference is there between Huang Bei Yue that trash and you?"
Concubine Qin's voice was very sharp. She's probably thinking that everyone had gone to Ling Yang College today besides a few other concubines and servants. So her words were very unrestrained.
"Concubine Qin, I have always done as you instructed. I'm not born with any talent and my mother isn't a young lady from a prestigious family. How can a noble son from a big family take a liking to me?"
The sobbing and weeping sound belong to Xiao Ling. She was probably scolded by Concubine Qin for quite a long time so she must've felt very wronged.
Originally, Huang Bei Yue didn't want to meddle in other people's business. That Xiao Ling isn't a good thing. She'll happily let those dogs bite each other. But when Concubine Qin had yelled that she's trash, it ignited a fire inside Huang Bei Yue's heart.
