Cordilia sneered in disdain as she left those beaten up Hidden Guards before she was startled when an eunuch stood behind her.

"Your Excellency, his Majesty the Emperor sent this Lowly One to invite you to the Palace" the Eunuch reported

Cordilia paused before she nodded.

"Lead the way" Cordilia said before the Eunuch got on his horse and speed off, leaving Cordilia to follow on foot.

Cordilia glared hatefully. 'Really? You invite someone over but you left them to eat your dust? Let's see if this Miss won't let you eat mud!'

Cordilia speed up and surpassed the horse, startling it and knocking the Eunuch off and into the mud. Cordilia smirked and speed off to the Palace.

[𝙷𝚘𝚜𝚝, 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚊 𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚎𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚍𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚛? 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚊 𝚛𝚘𝚐𝚞𝚎(💢‾ ▵‾)] A' Yuan commented

'Haha*sarcastic*'

Cordilia stood in front of the gate, waiting for the Eunuch to arrive, standing there with her unusual coloring really catches alot of attention. Half an hour later, the Eunuch appeared, already dressed properly, he did not mention the accident earlier.

"Please follow me" The Eunuch said as they began walking, the Eunuch leading the way.

'Yo, this little Eunuch is too arrogant for his own good, openly showing disdain to his superiors' Cordilia thought

A'Yuan calmly reminded his host, [𝙷𝚎 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝙷𝚘𝚜𝚝, 𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕𝚜 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚊 𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚗 𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚊 𝙿𝚑𝚘𝚎𝚗𝚒𝚡. 𝙷𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚐𝚊𝚗𝚝, 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝙴𝚞𝚗𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙴𝚖𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚛]

'I noticed that... Er... So many stairs' Cordilia looked at the stairs and felt like she wanted to lay down and sleep.

'𝙳𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚀𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚐𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚕𝚊𝚣𝚢 𝚎𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚍𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚜?' A'Yuan wondered

"You're not coming?" The Eunuch asked impatiently

Cordilia looked at him before she began climbing up, before she swiftly grabbed a hold on the Eunuch's collar, Cordilia kicked off the ground and she circulate inner energy as she soared until she stood on top of the stairs. She placed the Eunuch who felt gravity just left him for a few seconds.

"This..." the Eunuch looked back and almost had a heart attack, he quickly breath in and out to calm himself.

"This one is afraid you'll break your bones from the stairs, it would be a shame, so I saved us the trouble" Cordilia said carelessly and and looked at the sky

"Y-Yes of course" the Eunuch stuttered fearfully and did not dare show his arrogance anymore.

Earlier, he arrived just after Cordilia beat the shadow guards black and blue so he thought that this girl must be impersonating someone. It's just impossible for a 15 years old to do that and better yet, the girl must have a Shadow Guard with her to do it for her, but now that he experienced it, he felt fearful. He felt afraid that he might have offended this little girl.

"This way your excellency" the Eunuch did a 180 change in his attitude and kept his head down as he lead the way

'This Eunuch sure is bipolar' Cordilia said

'𝚈𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙱𝚒𝚙𝚘𝚕𝚊𝚛 𝚘𝚗𝚎,' A'Yuan scoffed

Cordilia stood in front of the Emperor before she knelt down, Military style. No way she would do something ridiculous as bowing like worshipping the Emperor who thought himself as God. Ridiculous.

"Hm....." the Emperor studied the girl, specially her very catchy red hair.

"Speak. Which Family do you belong to" the Emperor said, strong pressure fell on Cordilia

"This one is called Feng Xian Er. Orphan. Studied under an old Master, Yuan, lives in the woods, My Master likes to travel alot and gamble so this one has to set of on her own journey to seek other martial artist and challange them" Cordilia once again shamelessly used her A+ Bullshit ting skills, this time, she dragged A'Yuan on the pirate ship.

The Old Master, A'Yuan, who is a hermit that likes to travel and gamble: '𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚕𝚒𝚎, 𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚍𝚛𝚊𝚐 𝚖𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚍𝚊𝚖𝚗 𝚜𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜, 𝚘𝚔𝚊𝚢!'  (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

"Peh, just a mere orphan and commoner had eaten the gal of a leopard put on airs and bully the nobles. Does you master teach you etiquette" the Left Prime Minister sneered

"Just a mere Minister eaten the gal of a leapard put on airs and dare speak without the Emperor's permission. Does your mother teach you etiquette?" Cordilia mocked back as she shifted her gaze on the Prime Minister.

Earlier, if she did not notice a slight poke on her, she would not think that the Prime Minister was releasing his pressure on her. Cordilia did not even sweat. She calmly kneeled there but her sharp murderous gaze kept the Prime Minister in his place

"Young Miss Feng, you may rise" the Emperor said, Cordilia stood up straight and kept a straight face

A'Yuan scolded his host, [𝙷𝚘𝚜𝚝, 𝚌𝚞𝚛𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚍𝚎! 𝚈𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙴𝚖𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚛!]

'Haha *sarcastic*' Cordilia scoffed internally from the System's warning.

Cordilia would rather break than bend.

It could be said that Cordilia became more arrogant, well it was her teacher's fault, the one who taught her martial arts.

"𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏, 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒖𝒔 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌," these words stroked Cordilia's growing ego.

"Does Miss Feng have any plans of staying permanently in Long Capital?" the Emperor asked

"I dare not your majesty in fear of being assassinated by Left Prime Minister" Cordilia answered straight forwardly

*cough* *cough* 'Is it really okay for you to say it out loud?! Some thing are meant left unsaid, okay?'

"You! You impudent child! You spout nonsense!" Left Prime Minister almost vomit blood in anger

"What nonsense? Today, I was almost killed by your Hidden Guards. I have evidence!" Cordilia showed a jade pendant with the word "Mu" carved on it.

The jade was exquisite and expensive looking.

Cordilia tossed it to the Prime Minister.

"You! Speaking nonsense!" the Left Prime Minister sneered

"I am not afraid if lightning may struck me from the heaven if I lied. Left Prime Minister, would you not mind also? Do you dare be struck by lighting if you are proven to have lies?" Cordilia smiled mysteriously

"You!"
