Murim Recurve - Chapter 293

Re’Rel was just about to reply to Re’Dha when he noticed Re’Kha continue to stare at the painting with a frown. Smiling, he asked her, “Well, what do you think about her?”

“She’s…” Re’Kha didn’t focus on her face, attracted by the poses the lady had done, as depicted by Re’Rel. And, the poses reminded her of a Punou for some reason, making her feel like Mokshu Pe’Cha was someone that grew up with the beasts and had learned the art of fighting from them, “…Wild.”

“Wild…?” Re’Rel smirked, “Now, that’s a different description. Everyone only commented that she was plain-looking. I think she’s charming though. But, why do you think she’s wild?”

“Big brother,” Re’Kha pointed at a pose the lady in the painting had done where she posed as a feral beast, “Why is she posing in this way?”

“Her Pranic Art creates a Kite that she can rotate around her body. And, this pose allows her to balance her body better.” Re’Rel said when he noticed the frown on her sister deepen.

Re’Kha looked at the figure of Re’Dha, motioning for him to sit next to his sister for a moment. In the carriage, Re’Rel and Re’Fua were sitting on one side while the remaining three sat on the other side.

Re’Dha sat next to Re’Fua when Re’Kha stood up and climbed above the seat.

She spread her right hand forward, crouching her legs a bit forward, placing her left hand before her legs. She remained in the pose for some time, taking in a deep breath as she circulated her Water Qi, opening her mouth once as it gently shone with a blue radiance before vanishing.

Re’Kha returned to her seat as she heaved an exhausted sigh, “Was it something like this?”

Re’Rel stared at her in shock, “She had done an almost similar pose. How did you know this?”

“Mother made me do it as punishment every time I mess up something. Though, I have no idea why, but it is severely painful. Every time I do this, my body hurts and my throat feels like it would be ripped off.” Re’Kha said as she shuddered, recalling some of her training experiences.

When she had been punished, she had cried in pain a lot. And most of the time, she was punished only after her father left to go to the Bura Fort. It was one of the reasons she never liked her mother. In her memory, all she had ever received from her mother were schemes and punishments.

‘A punishment?’ Re’Rel thought of something, not intending to relay his thoughts as he rolled up his scroll, placing it within his sleeve as he looked at Re’Dha, “She’s the prettiest when she’s fighting or busy in work. In the future, if you find a woman, don’t judge her by appearance alone, judge her talent and character. Only they are important.”

“Why do I feel like she is better suited to Fire Qi and Metal Qi?” Re’Fua spoke, “Her demeanour wise, she would look perfectly normal while using fire or metal.”

“I thought of that before too, but when I asked her, she said she didn’t have much affinity to Metal Qi. It seemed her affinity towards Fire Qi had been the highest. But she failed to get into the Fire Sect or the other Sects. And her last attempt was the Water Sect and she managed to get through. After that, she obtained a fortuitous encounter and even received a title as the Maiden of the Kite. In the end, she is content with wielding Water Qi.” Re’Rel seemed like he had a lot to say when speaking about her.

Even though he had made it obvious, judging based on how he spoke, it was apparent to everyone that Re’Rel indeed had fallen for Mokshu Pe’Cha.

As it had been a long time since all of them had met up, they continued to speak, sharing some of their experiences.

After some time, Re’Fua looked at Re’Kha, “Did you receive any reward for killing the matured Blinded Ghost?”

“Reward…?” Re’Kha muttered when her eyes widened in shock, facepalming, “Oh my, I completely forgot about that. Burfuna City Lord had invited me to attend a party. But once mother visited, I completely forgot about that. Her visit time was almost at the same time as the party, and she brought me with her. I forgot about that. Dammit!”

‘If they had planned to give me any rewards, I missed my chance.’ She smacked her head for completely forgetting about it. And, she was invited by the Burfuna City Lord personally. Failing to comply might even offend him.

Though, she couldn’t help it. The moment Mu’Tua informed her about her mother, she was all Re’Kha could think about. Because of that, she had completely forgotten about it. And, her mother’s visit was timed perfectly to prevent her from visiting the party, as if she had aimed for that.

After mulling over it, she shook her head. Re’Fua and Re’Gra grumbled about the wasted opportunity while Re’Dha mocked her carelessness for some reason. As for Re’Rel, he was deep in thought.

His eyes glinted as he had thought of something, “Tell me in advance if you can reveal information related to it. But, did you use an alias while you were there?”

“Yes,” Re’Kha nodded, inquiring, “Why?”

“Nothing, just curious.” Re’Rel smiled as he took out his scroll and looked at the painting of Mokshu Pe’Cha, admiring her as he chuckled from time to time. And, just when he planned to make another painting, their carriage stopped as they had reached their destination.

They got down one after another, assembling as a group. The Clan Head and Central Lake Head stood at the front, followed by the other Four Lakes. Following behind them were the rest of the Re Clan.

They were currently standing outside Burkurel City, facing their backs towards the western gate. The Ka Clan too arrived at the same time as the Re Clan, since they were positioned at the north and south of the city respectively.

The Ki (Royal) Clan arrived with the Vi Clan and everyone awaited in five respective groups. The new City Lord stood at the front and patiently waited as he could see a group approach them from the northwest.
