The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Accidental Intrusion

Wuyan was not reserved and nodded in agreement before he took out a brocade bag and handed it towards Zhong Niangyao, “Esteemed guest, this was left by the Master before his passing and was meant to be gifted to you.”

“After handing over the item to you, this humble monk has fulfilled his own duty.”

Zhong Niangyao took the brocade bag from Wuyan and nodded, “Then thank you, Grandmaster.”

“Please feel free to proceed!”

Wuyan brought his hands together, “This humble monk shall not disturb the esteemed guest any further. If you wish to offer incense in the grand hall ahead, please go this way. If you desire to view the scenery at the back mountain, then that direction is faster.”

After showing Zhong Niangyao the way, Wuyan left directly.

Left alone, Zhong Niangyao picked up the now cold tea and took a sip, her fingers unconsciously caressing the brocade bag in her hand.

Finally, she opened the brocade bag, which contained a note with several written lines.@@novelbin@@

“Soul and Body Reunited, follow your heart, all is predestined.”

These simple lines stirred huge waves in Zhong Niangyao’s heart.

‘Soul and Body Reunited’, wasn’t this referring to her current body being hers? But how could that be possible? Could it be that her rebirth in this body was not a coincidence? But then, if this body was indeed hers, what about the phenomenon where the soul and body did not align?

Everything was shrouded in mist, veiling the truth from Zhong Niangyao, and her attempts at divination yielded no clarity either.

Much later, an exquisite smile formed on Zhong Niangyao’s lips, and the brocade bag and note self-ignited without harming her hand in the slightest.

What’s here is here; let it be.

Although she was still unclear about the details, since she had arrived in this world, she naturally intended to live her life here. As for everything else, as time passed, the truth would surely reveal itself.

However, she was quite intrigued by Wuyan’s Master, who had foreseen her arrival and left a note. He must be no ordinary person. It’s a pity he had already passed away; she would have liked to meet him.

Since she had come to Wuling Mountain, Zhong Niangyao felt she should not waste the opportunity and definitely take a good tour around the place.

With many things still unclear to her, she decided not to dwell on them for now. She stood up and walked towards the back mountain as Wuyan had directed.

The incense-burning and prayers in the front hall didn’t interest her much; she’d rather explore the scenery.

Soon, Zhong Niangyao arrived at the back mountain.

The scenery here was beautiful, and despite it being summer, the densely shaded trees didn’t just eliminate the heat but also brought waves of cool and comfortable breezes.

However, the place was also quite crowded, especially since it was Sunday, with many families coming over for a visit.

Because it was noisy, Zhong Niangyao walked towards a quieter area.

Unconsciously, she found herself moving farther and farther away from the crowd, then she realized something was off—it seemed like she was walking in circles.

A curious smile crept up her lips as she murmured softly, “Interesting! It seems someone has set an Array here.”

Her curiosity piqued, given that Wuling Mountain had always been a tourist attraction of the Imperial Capital, frequented by many during holidays to hike and breathe fresh air. Devotees came on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to offer incense.

It could be said that the place was popular, and while not every inch was trampled, it was surprising to find such a hidden spot here.

Right, a hidden place, concealed by an Array.

Nevertheless, such a small Array really couldn’t confine her.

Closing her eyes, Zhong Niangyao pondered for a while, then opened her eyes again and began to observe her surroundings more meticulously.

Not long after, a brilliant smile appeared on her face, and she started walking in a seemingly casual but irregular pattern.

As she moved randomly, the previously static environment began to subtly change.

In just a brief moment, Zhong Niangyao saw that her surroundings had already completely transformed.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “The Spiritual Energy here is really rich!”

She felt as if she had entered a paradisiacal haven; in front of her was a large estate with flora and trees that were rare on the outside. In the centre of the estate was a villa, designed in a European style.

The scenery was indeed beautiful, but what attracted her most was the dense Spiritual Energy here. It made her wonder how the estate’s owner had managed to gather most of the mountain’s Spiritual Energy to this location.

Standing there, every breath made her feel thoroughly refreshed. She felt all the pores in her body opening up and greedily absorbing the Spiritual Energy.

Just then, a voice interrupted Zhong Niangyao’s thoughts.

“Who’s there?”

An old man walked out from the estate, his face filled with wariness. Even seeing that the visitor was just a young girl, he didn’t lower his guard.

“Who are you really, and how did you arrive here?”

Watching the old man’s guarded demeanor, Zhong Niangyao smiled innocently, her smile tinged with ingenuity, “I was just wandering and somehow ended up here! But I never expected that there would be such a place on Wuling Mountain!”

Despite the old man’s white hair, his agile and light movements, and the faint Evil Qi emanating from him, revealed that he was no ordinary individual.

Such a mysterious estate, and an inscrutable old gatekeeper—just who was the owner of this estate?

It was indeed intriguing!

Despite hearing Zhong Niangyao’s response, the old man’s wariness did not decrease, and his tone remained harsh, “Leave quickly. This is not a place for you.”

He absolutely didn’t believe that the young girl had entered accidentally. An Array set by the master could not possibly malfunction. Therefore, the only problem must lie with the girl herself.
