Shekki wipes her forehead with her sleeve.

"Got out safely. Safeeeee!" She said heaving and puffing. Stretching her sore waist and shaking her legs one at a time. She looked up and felt something in this place look so holy. Like the light of salvation descends upon her.

"Am I going crazy?" She wonders if it is just her imagination. Closing her eyes while rocking her brain. She felt that this place has more mana than her room or the spirit grass field.

"Ah! So the holiness comes from the abundance of mana!" She says while she finally realized the problem.

Then the bright smile disappears.

"Meaning...This is the Inner Clan?" Not a good news if it could be a place for the Core disciples and even worse is if it is the abode of the Sect Headmaster.

"I...How could the Headmaster's abode don't have a protective barrier? Of course not. Hahahaha…" She says while calming herself.

Gander stares at the girl foolishly patting her chest. His eyes were dark but there's nothing to see in his face but indifference.

His abode has layer and layer of protective barrier. And all of them are still actively protecting his abode as if nothing did come. The girl is looking around like a small thief scared in little movement in the surrounding.

On top of the tree,Gander watches her.

"There is nothing here. There's no one too. Maybe that is better?" Sighing, Shekki saw a teapot and tea cup prepared on the side. It is still hot, meaning the owner of the house just went out.

Scared to be caught, she stood up and left. Again, she unknowingly went past the layer of barrier that the headmaster put.

She went back to her spirit grass. She doesn't feel any sense of joy finding a territory with a large amount of mana yet can't cultivate in fear of death. For her, staying in the field is the best. Though the progress is slow, it is solid.

After she comes back, stretches her arms and looks at the sun. It is sti sunny yet she does feel cooler now.

"Still, this garden is my sweet place. Better cultivate than run around. Also, peace is better than an eventful life. Though there's not much color, living is still the best." She said nodding to herself. If she can become an inner disciple. Her father will be really happy. And to see Angeline's twisted face in agony while going to congratulate her...she felt that this world is really a bliss.

With a hum and a smile, she started cultivating.

Gander jumps to the ground and looks at the barrier. How could it be like this? A person that can ignore barriers? Will she not also be affected by arrays?

That is very strange. He wanted to say impossible but he sees it with his own eyes. He is not a person who denies things just because it is too shocking and peculiar.

"That girl." He says while thinking deeply.

He should make sure first if she is useful. He will decide if he will take her under his wings if she proves her usefulness.

Shekki has no idea that a certain master has taken a liking to her and also a certain pretty boy was desperately searching for her.

Of course if Shekki knew, she would not like it.

I am asking myself... What are you doing? It seems my life is as monotonous as always.
