Chapter 4: Xunr.The Girl That Previous Owner Loved
In the next few days, while Mu Tian was bedridden he didn't forget to sign-in.Now he had three bottle of marrow refining pills,two bottle of body tempering pills and a sword technique called "Dual Blade Sword Diagram".
Although the system had healed his body but to avoid suspicion Mu Tian remain in his room for a week.
In this week,Mother Mu had visited him multiple times and every time she would bring some delicates or some healing medicine. Mu Tian could feel her concern and is very touched.
As he was an orphan on earth,he didn't experienced any kind of familiar affection. When he was sick, he has to rely on his himself to fend of.
Other than Mother Mu coming to see him occasionally ,it is Xunr who accompanied him the most. Every time he saw her, the tinge of regret in his heart rushed out.
Mu Tian doesn't understand.Since the previous owner being already dead,why would his emotion affect him?
Being an earthling and someone who is about to enter the society, Mu Tian definitely isn't someone like the previous owner who can't express his feelings.
So,in the past few days he has been observing the girl.If she is of his liking he definitely wouldn't burry those feelings.
Thus in the past few days he had been teasing her, observing her behavior and her reaction.
After a week,Mu Tian could understand why the previous owner fall for her.She is well mannered ,beautiful and a very considerate girl and every time he tease her,she would become red.
In her shy state, any man would like to take a bite on her let alone Mu Tian.
....
While Mu Tian is living a quite life in Mu Mansion, the whole capital city isn't quit at all.As the matter of Mu Tian offending Crown Prince and being crippled spread over the entire kingdom.
Many people started to discuss it among themselves. Some were gloating on the misfortune of the Mu family while some were sighing with pity.
At this moment ,in a shabby restaurant at the border of the Imperial Capital some people are talking.
"Have you heard Young Master from General Mu mansion has offended crown Prince. His cultivation has been stripped and he has been house arrested by his Majesty the Emperor."
"This Young Master Mu is really unlucky. Originally general Mu can still protect him if he had offended other princes. Why he have to offend crown Prince? "
"Even General Mu and Old Physician Wu have plead for mercy but he still house arrested."
"I heard, he has helped a girl to escape that crown Prince has taken a fancy."
"Who don't know crown Prince's lecherous nature? It's a pity that such a righteous young man like Young Master Mu has been crippled."
While they are talking they didn't noticed that a mysterious person appeared in the dark alley beside the restaurant. Her whole body is wrapped in black cloth. Rivaling only her eyes.
When she heard the discussion around,her eyes flashed with a vicious light.She said in a deep voice filled with hatred,"Qin Ge,the next time I come will be the last day for your Qin Empire."
Then she looked at the Mu Mansion. Her previously hatefull eyes softened,she muttered something before once again disappearing into the dark alley.
....
Mu Tian who is inside the Mu Mansion doesn't know any of these thing.After consuming a marrow refining pills and started thinking what he should do next.
After a week Mu Tian had already consumed seven marrow refining pills and his spirit root has evolved into a high heaven grade spirit root,on the verge of entering the holy grade.
It's a pity that he didn't get any Qi cultivation technique in the past seven days and the Qi cultivation technique that the Previous owner cultivated is only of low rank earth grade.
As a transmigrator with a system Mu Tian definitely isn't interested in it.According to his standard he should at least need to find a heaven grade cultivation technique or just was for the system sign-in to get one.
Also he need to find an aura concealing technique if he didn't want to get exposed.
Thus Mu Tian decided to take strolls in the Martial Hall of the Mu Mansion and see if could find a suitable technique which can suppress aura.He then called Xunr and asked her to bring him there.
In front of the main door of the Martial Hall, there is a blue clothed elder sitting with his eyes closed. Although he looked very old and has disheveled hair Mu Tian could feel an unfathomable aura around him.
The Old man is called Elder Wen, one of the companion of Great General Mu. The previous Mu Tian used to address his as Grandpa Wen and they had a good relation.
Mu Tian looked at the elder and approached him with a smile on his face.
Feeling presence of someone he slowly opened his eyes.
"Little Tian how have you been? Aren't you injured? Why you came to the library so early?"Elder Wen asked with concern and sent his spiritual senses of to see if he is still injured.
Mu Tian didn't resist the old man's probing as he knew the old man's intension is kind.He wore a smile on his face and repiled,"Granpa Wen I'm fine."
Granpa Wen also noticed that there is no abnormality in his body and a smile appeared on his face.He said kindly,
"It's good that you are fine."
"Why did you come to here?Do you need something?"
"Grandpa Wen,I'm feeling boored so I came to the library to do some study." Mu Tian replied as he looked at Elder Wen with a pleading expression.
Looking at his expression Elder Wen nodded before giving him a warning, "You can go.But don't go higher than the second floor. Now that your dantain is broken, you'll hurt yourself if you try to cultivate forecfully ."
"Don't worry grandpa.I won't hurt myself."
Mu Tian agreed quickly as he too can understand their concern. And since he doesn't want other's to know that he can cultivate, he decided to go with the act.
Seeing his serious expression Elder Wen lit up the formation in his hand and the door of the Martial slowly opened.
Mu Tian didn't stand on a ceremony with Elder Wen,he took Xunr hand entered after thanking him.
.....
Once Inside the library,Mu Tian was shocked.Looking at the huge hall which is bigger than the central library of his university,he gasped.
Although he had memories of the previous owner but in those memories he had never seen such big hall.
Curious, he take out a book from the bookshelves and opened it.
Fortunately the book is written in ancient Chinese language and he has the memory of the previous owner of this body. Thus he can understand most of them.
After reading for a while Mu Tian understood that this is a history book of the Great Qin Empire he currently living.
After finishing the book,he put it in the previous place and take out another book and started reading.
After looking at few books Mu Tian understood why he has no memory of this hall.Since this hall only contained the history of Qin Empire and the Eastern Wasteland,young people rarely come here.
Since most of the people come to Martial Hall for cultivation technique they directly go to the second or third level and this first level stays empty most of the time.
But to Mu Tian this place could be said to be a treasure hall since what he needed isn't those cultivation techniques but information about this new world.Thus he happily took out one book after another and started reading them.
...
Mu Tian doesn't know how long he has been reading,at this moment he had read almost five books and has a better understanding of the Qin Empire and it's structure.
Suddenly he noticed the standing figure behind him.He was too engrosed into books that he failed to notice that Xunr is standing beside him from the moment they entered the hall.
"Ummm...Xunr why are you standing? Sit down."Mu Tian asked while scratching his head with a guilty expression.
"No need Young Master.I'm okay."Xunr replied hurriedly as stood in her place without moving.
Mu Tian sighed with a frustrations at her reaction the without giving her any time he pulled her in his lap.
Xunr was so shocked by his sudden action she forgot to react.As if she had become an ice sculpture, Xunr seat in his lap without moving.
Mu Tian is also shocked by his sudden action.But soon he came back to his senses.
Looking at the stunned Xun'r in his lap,Mu Tian understand why the previous owner and she never confessed their feeling even though they are the closest person of each other.
Because both Xunr and the previous owner of this body were extremely shy person and a little spark among them would make them hide from each other for a week let alone confess feelings.
But current Mu Tian is exactly opposite. He looked at the figure in his lap and a smile appeared in his lips.
"Xunr,read the book for me."Mu Tian said in her ear in a authorative voice.
Xunr,who is dazed woke up by his voice.Her ear turned red and she stammered.
"But..Young Master...I.."
Mu Tian didn't let her finish what she is saying,he wrapped his hand around her waist and whispered, "What...Din't I asked you to call me big brother?"
Xunr's face turned crimson red at his teasing .She tried to run away from his embrace but Mu Tian didn't let her.
He held her waist forcefully and patiently coaxed her to read.
Occasionally looking at her shy expression while she is reading the book for him,Mu Tian decided to made the girl easy with him or else he doesn't know how long it will take her to overcome her shyness.
While he is patiently listening to Xunr,he didn't know that Elder Wen had already sent the news of him entering the Martial Hall Xunr to his father.
General Mu,who was in a meeting with his brothers to discuss about the matter of recent war when his communication stone lit up.
When he opened it the voice of Elder Wen came out from the stone.
"Yan, it's uncle Wen."
"Little Tian has came to the library this morning.He has been staying for half of a day and still hasn't came out.I'm afraid that he will to do something wrong and harm his body."
"He is young and just lost his cultivation.Don't let him fall into demonic path out of impulse."
"Recently there are lot of demonic cultivator in this Qin empire. Don't let him fall in the hands of those demonic cultivator."
Mu Yan's heart became cold after hearing this.He tapped the stone and said with a gratified expression, "Thank you uncle Wen.I will definitely talk with Tian about this matter."
After saying this,he looked at the elders and said seriously,"Sorry brothers.I need to do something urgently. Todays meeting ends here."
Then without waiting for their reply,he rushed out.
