Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

"Girl, you have a sharp mouth. Haha!" The sect master turned around and let out a laugh. 

Kana grinned and stuck out her tongue. She felt it was a little sad that Mr. Wrinkles was able to get away without being spanked. She never planned to actually kill him. She just wanted to have Ako spank him and embarrass him in front of everyone. While she knew he was there to harm her, he did not actually get to do so, nor did he, himself, move to, so this could be considered lucky for him. Ako already told her through their contract connection that she could easily kill Mr. Wrinkles. In fact, her killing intent was clear as day to Kana. It seemed Mr. Wrinkles' actions had angered her greatly. 

After sticking her tongue out at the old man, she realized she had no idea who this person was. "By the way, who are you?"

"Haha! I am the sect master of  Moon Crest Aca. You can just call me Old Yuan for now. Little Ning has told me much about you. I hope you will not think badly of my Moon Crest Academy. Not everyone is as bad as Elder Ye. His arrogance has gotten the better of him. At any rate, this whole matter has truly caused a stir. Miss Na, please come out here and see this old man." Old Yuan called out, causing Liu Na, who was peeking through the crack in the door, to stumble and fall down, revealing herself. Her cheeks turned bright red as she hurriedly got up. 

Seeing her distressed image caused Old Yuan to let out another laugh. "Haha! It's alright, little one, I will not bite. I only want to let you know that while things are under investigation, you can not leave this courtyard. I would tell you to go back to the sect, but this courtyard is much safer. So until things are settled, stay here and cultivate. Elder Ning will bring you your monthly resources. I am not sure how long things will take, but I swear I will investigate this as fast as I can." 

Old Yuan felt bad. He knew that things were not simple and that this poor girl was dragged into a mess. He had already investigated her a bit before coming here and heard not only was she very low key within the sect, but she always did sect missions with the same group of disciples. He also heard that she got an inheritance while staying in the dreaded grounds for an entire month. She was soon to be a rising star of the sect, so he would not allow any harm to come to her. The same went with Kana, but he was less concerned with her as she had such a powerful contracted beast. 

"Then I will need to thank Sect Master and Elder Ning. If you need me for anything, please ask. I can give you a full account of what happened earlier today. And I am sorry for having to resort to killing fellow disciples." Liu Na bowed her head in apology. She had no reason to lie. She had been protecting herself. Otherwise, she would never wish to harm her own sect mates.

"I will talk to you in a few. First… Kana, I think you should take a trip away from the capital for a while. Maybe find a fortuitous encounter. If you can, you will be able to truly grow stronger quicker. The aura you give off is not that of a true peak body fortification cultivator. I do not know the reason why that is, and I am sure only you do, but I can tell you are at a roadblock in your cultivation. So going out and experiencing the world will be good for you. And do not think that this old man is trying to get rid of you. I am only saying this for your own good. Sometimes when breaking through, you need to find that perfect chance." Old Yuan truly wanted to help Kana. He meant her no ill will by his words. As a peak golden core cultivator and someone who has been stuck at this stage for almost a hundred years, he was one who could sense when someone was stuck in their cultivation. Cultivation was not all about sitting down and drawing in the spiritual qi around you. Sometimes one has to venture out and look for special chances.

Kana smiled. She could tell this old man was different. He was truly advising her from an elder's standpoint on what she needed to do to breakthrough. Since coming to this world, she had met with three old men who were nothing like that damned old man who split her up from her family. But there were many more in this world who were like that old bastard. Kana copied what she had seen others do and cupped her hands and bowed her head as she said: "Thank you for your teachings. I will keep them close to my heart. I will do as you say and venture out into the world."

"Haha! Good! Such humble people are truly rare. If it was not for the sect rules, I would have already asked you to join the sect without being tested. But rules are rules. Just make sure you are back before the time comes to take the test." Old Yuan's approval of Kana was going higher and higher. He could tell this girl, although silly, seemed wise at times.  She just gave off this feeling that drew people to her.

"I will be sure to be here. If you will excuse me, I will go grab a few things and begin my journey." After hearing Old Yuan's words, she truly wished to leave as soon as possible and hoped to find the chance she needed to reach rank eleven body fortification and then work hard to hit qi gathering.

Kana did not stick around before running off, leaving behind two smiling old men and Liu Na, who was waiting to explain her side of the story. Old Yuan stood there with his hands behind his back as he paced back and forth as if he was waiting for something, but in truth, he was actually speaking to someone hiding in the shadows. "Investigate everything that has happened today and do not leave a single stone unturned. Also, send some people to watch Elder Ye's movements. If he tries to exit the city, make up some excuse to delay him for as long as possible."

"Yes, master…"
