Murim Recurve - Chapter 271
Upon hearing the answer from Re’Kha, Re’Bah nodded, “There you have your answer.”
Nodding in response, Re’Kha looked at her brother, Re’Gra, “Brother, if I were to give you a Water Qi Essence, will you be able to make a Magic Artifact?”
“As long as I have two Water Qi Essences and a couple of supplementary materials, I’ll be able to create the same sword you have lost. I’ve studied its elemental weapon version many times while bored. But,” Re’Gra frowned, “Where will you get a Water Qi Essence from? It’s expensive, and we can’t even purchase them from the market. Only when the Royal Clan sells them through an auction can we obtain one. Even then, do you have that kind of money?”
“I can arrange for it…” Re’Kha trailed off, watching the expression of her family members become shocked.
Re’Rak held her hand, concerned for her, unwilling to see her in hardship. But Re’Kha met his gaze, reassuring him. If it had been before, she couldn’t have arranged for something like that. But at present, she had quite a few lying in her storage ring.
So, Re’Kha could easily give two Water Qi Essences to her brother. Besides, if she was ever running short of them in the future, she could always exchange one of the other Elemental Qi Essences for a Water Qi Essence from the Royal Clan.
Ki’Nha owed her considerably. So, if Re’Kha asked for such a favour, she would definitely see through it. After all, it was just an exchange.
Upon seeing her confidence, Re’Bah subtly frowned as there was a glint in her eyes, recalling the scene in Burfuna City when she visited Mu’Tua. She didn’t say anything though, observing in silence to see the extent of what Re’Kha could come up with.
“If you can arrange for it, then I’m fine by it,” Re’Gra said, “But, I need to experiment and practice first. I’ll need a few months before I can begin working on it.”
“Alright,” Re’Kha nodded, facing her mother next, “Then, I’ll take up a punishment and eventually deal with it.”
“Alright, that’s what we’ll go with then,” Re’Bah looked at Re’Rak, “What do you say, dear?”
Re’Rak looked at Re’Kha in concern, finally sighing as he could see that Re’Kha was confident. Since she said she would deal with it, he wished to respect her decisions. After all, the act of growing up was learning how to deal with one’s mistakes. So, even though she had lost their Clan’s Magic Artifact, he wasn’t angry at her. Rather, he was proud of her decisions.
Moreover, he knew that she hadn’t run away to Burfuna City to hide. Rather, she had gone there to first protect herself before setting off to find clues about the Blinded Ghost, eventually managing to kill it and reclaimed her eyes.
The fact that she managed to reclaim her eyes from a Sha, that too of a calibre like the Blinded Ghost was a resounding feat. Moreover, he was informed that the Blinded Ghost had actually matured in the end, turning into a fearsome foe.
And the fact that she had faced such a foe, survived the battle, reclaimed what was originally hers, and even managed to kill it in the end, if he said he wasn’t grinning from one end to other in pride, he would be lying.
So, if the Central Lake tried to make it difficult for Re’Kha, he was planning to forego all pleasantries and actively give them a taste of hell. Followed by a nod, Re’Rak said, “I’m fine with it. Re’Kha is my child, she can manage herself.”
Saying so, he tightened his grip on her hand. Just his hold was enough for Re’Kha to know that she had the full support of her father.
“Fine then,” Saying so, Re’Bah waved her hand, making the servant bring in a scroll. Taking it from her hand, Re’Bah dismissed the servant, placing the scroll on the table. All along, the servants acted like the pillars or decorations of the room, only moving when they were ordered by her.
And, they were trained to not hear anything the family conversed. This was to prevent any information from leaking. And, it wasn’t a simple training, but something Re’Bah had ingrained in their minds since birth.
It was a form of brainwashing but was done from birth. So, without their realisation, the servants working in their household never leaked any information. After all, that was how they were trained. And, this training was done in the settlement under their control.
The Burkurel Re Clan’s Western Settlement had been under the control of their family from the time the Burkurel Re Clan had been established. And all the servants hailed from a family line of servants who were born just to serve their family.
Having done that for generations, it had become part of their blood instinct. Putting everything else aside, the dining room was just vast and the servants were placed at the far ends. And, the design of the place was made in such a way sound couldn’t travel far. All the objects absorbed the sound.
So, when they spoke normally, the sound wouldn’t even cross half the dining room, not to mention reach the servants that stood at the end. And, it was easy to test, so they knew of its effectiveness. As they always conversed about important affairs, it was always better to have at least two to three layers of safety and precaution.
“This is a Pill Coupon I got from the auction,” Re’Bah said, opening the scroll to reveal its contents, “We can use this in the Water Sect to exchange for 10 Pills of our choice.”
“10?” Re’Rel gazed at the scroll as his eyes widened, “That’s outrageous. Normal Sect members don’t have access to knowledge of a lot of Pills that could be created. But as one of the select few, I know of certain incredible pills. The value of this scroll is at least five times its worth in my hands.”
“Indeed,” Re’Bah nodded, pushing it towards him, “It’s yours. Exchange for good pills for all of us. As for the remainder, they are yours to use.”
