21 Leaving for the Central Continent

One week... That's how long the Yan Clan made their preparations before their most treasured little princess, Rinley, was permitted to go out of the Fire Continent.

The whole entourage included two Immortal King elders, a dozen of Immortal Generals including her first uncle, five of his cousin-brothers with Ryan, the de facto clan head successor as the leader, and her maidservant, Rose.

The Yan Clan head and Grand Elder even joined the other clansmen in sending them off to the gates.

"You shouldn't take off this necklace. It's a gift from the clan Guardian," the Grand Elder said as he fixed a necklace with a small butterfly pendant on Rinley's neck.

Rinley was then hauled off in an extravagant carriage by her Uncle Leo together with Aunt Rose.

Even though Rinley has been cultivating diligently every day, she didn't have much progress in her Golden Fairy Body. This means she has not made much progress in the Ice Secret Arts Manual too. It looks like no matter how much of a genius she is, there are still things she couldn't do well-- like body tempering.

"We have entered the teleportation circle. It's your first time traveling, you might feel uncomfortable," Leo said to the absent-minded Rinley as the carriage jolted to a stop.

Rinley only nodded. In her previous life, her master always took her to look for herbs in some ruins or mountain when he has time so she isn't really new to traveling.

However, Rinley's mind is now only preoccupied with one thing-- how to escape her entourage.

She can't just tell them that she's looking for her master's treasures, can't she? So, her plan is to slip away in the middle of the journey. Rinley was sure she wouldn't get a chance to sneak out after they reach the manor owned by the Yan clan in the central continent.

The past week, aside from cultivating the Golden Fairy Body, she also familiarized herself to the techniques she used in her previous life.

'If you can't confront it head-on, then run,' this was the golden rule her master taught her since she was young.

Being the weakling that she is in her previous life, although she only has a few fighting techniques, she has many life-saving techniques. A few examples are Shadowless Steps, Turtle Breathing and Camouflage.

Shadowless Steps, this ultimate technique created for assassinations became an ultimate fleeing technique in her hands. Turtle Breathing was what she used to hide her breathing and life force while Camouflage was used to mask her presence and aura.

She used these three techniques to swagger around with her pitiful cultivation and flee from under her enemies' noses many times before.

Now is the time to put all these techniques to use. 」(￣▽￣」)
