"What do you think, Mia?" Theo asked.

"Exploring a tomb, huh?" She thought for a moment, trying to recall all kinds of tropes that could be used in a place like this. "Sounds good. It seems that we’ll be having a lot of fun here."

"As for the mountain range, we’ll go together, but this place is quite dangerous."

"Don’t worry. I feel like I will have my fill of fun during the exploration, so I won’t do anything dangerous on those mountains." Mia nodded with a smug grin as though she were excited about exploiting all the troops to cause some trouble.

"Alright. That’s settled then. The exploration shouldn’t last long, right?"

"Yes." Yue Yi nodded with a sad expression. "The trip from here will only require about a week. I have gone to a ruin exploration in the past, and it only takes about three days before coming out. This tomb is quite powerful. While I am also participating, I have to remain by the Snow Blossom Sect’s side. Unfortunately, I’m unable to help you."

"That’s fine."

"We’ll go two days later. So…" Yue Yi looked at Theo with some expectations.

Unfortunately for her, Theo shook his head. "No. We’ll be leaving tonight. Since this is an important exploration, I’m planning to learn about the area and everything related to it first."

Yue Yi looked disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. She knew that Theo was disappointed because their elders had rejected the request of the sect master to show their martial arts.

If only the elders knew better, the Snow Blossom Sect would see a new era.

"Either way, we’ll be leaving the sect tonight. Do you have the direction or map to go to this ruin?" Theo asked.

"Yes." Yue Yi took out a huge scroll and laid it down on the table. The map was quite basic. It consisted of a few small building symbols that indicated cities, sects, and other places that had human civilization.

"Hmm…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the tomb?"

"The Fist Emperor Tomb is here." Yue Yi pointed at the top right area.

"So, it’s not that far from this… Flowing Water City?"

"Yes. In fact, most people will rest here while waiting for the tomb to show a sign of its opening."

"Interesting." Theo traced the path to see whether he would find trouble or not. "I don’t think there is a problem with the path. Is there anything I should worry about?"

"No. This path is usually safe. There are some bandits or evil cultivators appearing once in a while, but they aren’t very high level in most cases."

When they heard Yue Yi’s reply, Mia couldn’t help but roll her eyes, thinking, ’There it is. She has jinxed it. The flag has been planted deeply and we’ll face bandits or evil cultivators on our way.’

Theo looked at his daughter. Despite his reaction, he knew perfectly well that his daughter was excited about this.

"Either way, that’s the current plan. I will just go to this Flowing Water City to enter the tomb. But considering the people who enter this tomb are mostly youngsters, I will disguise myself as one, I guess." Theo contemplated.

"Really? Are you going to disguise yourself as your young self, Dad?"

"What? You don’t like my current appearance?"

"It’s nothing like that." Mia pouted. "Your current self is mature and gentle, making one feel secure. But the portrait of your young self suggests an adventurous and fearless man."

It seemed that Mia liked his young self for a different reason, specifically that last part. Theo had been more careful and conservative after having her because he didn’t want anything to happen to Mia. On the other hand, when he was younger, he could be as bold as he wanted since he had nothing to lose.

Mia wanted the fearless dad because she wanted to stir up a lot of trouble.

Theo shook his head helplessly. "Look at you. Do you want to watch the world burn?"

"Of course not. But some people indeed need to burn." Mia smirked.

Theo drew the lines on the map with his illusion, showing the path he would take from here until eventually returning to the Modern Realm. "This should be it, I guess?"

"Are we not going to meet Li Wei?" Mia looked at the path, feeling a bit disappointed that they wouldn’t visit Li Wei while they were here.

"Nope. We can meet him at the school later. Besides, it will be unfair to other students if we meet them here."

"Fair enough. I will focus on completing my energy ball then." Mia didn’t seem to like to say Dantian since they were vastly different.

"Sure. We’ll be leaving tonight, so don’t sleep. I’ll carry you during the night."

"Mhmm!"

Now that Mia had returned to the room, Theo asked, "Yue Yi. There are two things I want to know. First of all, are there any people that I should watch out for?"

Yue Yi was confused by the question, but she soon thought that Theo wanted to know people like her before undergoing change.

"Ehm. Most of them are spoiled brats like me, so I think you should avoid them. Without any background, you’re going to be bullied."

"While I don’t mind killing people, I don’t want to do it unless it’s necessary. It will be different if they aim for Mia though… I might erase their entire influence."

"In that case, you can use the Myriad River Inn and the Treasure Pavilion. The inn is owned by a powerful figure, so no one really dares to cause trouble inside. On the other hand, the Treasure Pavilion is a perfect place if you want to find something whether it’s weapons, pills, or unique items. If you have any excess items, you can even sell them here."

"Those places are quite good." Theo nodded in agreement. He had bought a Space Ring with him, so it shouldn’t be a problem to get some items and sell them here. While he might not need a lot of things from here, he might be able to find something unique that would help him in the future.

"Is there anything else you want to know?" Yue Yi asked. She didn’t say anything about her master’s order about getting a lot of Martial Arts for Theo, since this was a private gift.

Unlike Theo, who would go to the mountain, Yue Yi planned to depart for the surrounding area to acquire as many books as possible and give them to Theo before leaving this world.

"No. That’s all for now. I’ll take care of the rest."

"In that case, please take your time." Yue Yi cupped her hands.

"Mhmm."

Theo retired to his room to pack his luggage. But before that, he made some time to check the comments again.

"Well, I have to be ruthless to my enemy and kind to my people. While I do let people drag me around, I will say no when it’s necessary. In the end, I have my own rules and integrity. And yes, I’m not sure what the author thinks about the comments, but it’s kind of getting out of hand."

Theo chuckled while looking at the next comment. "A pleasant guy, huh? I feel happy… No, I’m happier than I’d think after knowing that."

And finally, he got to the second section, which proved the first comment. "I don’t care if you are being mean just for the sake of being mean. Just make sure that you don’t get comfortable being mean, because it will be too late at that time. Besides, don’t forget that the author is the last person to choose whether your comments enter the story or not. If you break the rule, the author might not put your comments there like in the last part. The others have more words than you, but your last part is censored behind the ’read more.’"

…

Twelve hours later.

Theo and Mia were standing at the foot of the mountain where they originally held the admissions test. Standing before them were Li Shuye and Yue Yi.

"Are you really leaving? Why don’t you stay for a few more days and go with the disciples of the Snow Blossom Sect?" Li Shuye made an apologetic look, panicking because she thought Theo left because of the treatment of the sect.

"It’s fine. In the end, we come here for a vacation, so we’ll just adventure together." Theo shook his head.

Li Shuye fully understood that she had failed to take advantage of this chance. She truly wanted to beat the elders who refuted her during the meeting, but in the end, the majority of the elders chose to reject her proposal. Only some elders, like the First Elder, who knew Theo was crafty, actually supported her.

Li Shuye sighed. In the future, those elders might regret it and realize how they had become a laughing stock because of their own choices. At the very least, she had to maintain a good relationship with Theo.

"I heard that you are going to stay in the Myriad River Inn."

"Since safety is guaranteed, yes."

"In that case, please take this. There should be enough money for you to enjoy your stay there. This is the least I can do for my guest." Li Shuye handed him a space ring.

Theo thought for a moment. Li Shuye wanted to use this to maintain their relationship. If he rejected it, she would be disappointed. At the same time, he might be able to use this relationship in the future when he returns to this world in the future.

"Alright. Thank you." Theo smiled as he took a step back, indicating that he was about to leave.

Mia had a big smile on her face while waving at them. "Bye bye!"

Li Shuye and Yue Yi watched them until they disappeared into the horizon.

Both of them couldn’t help but sigh out of disappointment.

"What do you think of him, Yue Yi?" Li Shuye asked.

"He is a very powerful and kind gentleman. I don’t mind…" Yue Yi abruptly stopped as she almost said she didn’t mind being his slave just to follow him around. "…I don’t mind being his guide."

"Is that so?" Li Shuye felt that her disciple had changed slightly. But considering she had gained enlightenment, it should be quite normal. She even heard that someone had a complete change of personality once they gained enlightenment.

So, she didn’t think much about it, thinking this was a normal occurrence. At the very least, it didn’t seem that her daughter would be Theo’s enemy.

Li Shuye didn’t realize at that time that her disciple had become much more insane than she could imagine.

In Yue Yi’s mind, she kept thinking about the same thing, ’When can I meet him again? If those disciples are late, I’m going to break their bones. That’s right. We’ll leave two days from now, so if they dare to be late, I’m not going to forgive them.

’After this, I will help his lordship during the tomb exploration. Even if they’re scions of other influential sects or families, I will definitely not forgive them. After that, I will bring all the books I can find to him and we’ll meet again at the gate. He will thank me and… and…’

Yue Yi’s imagination became wild as she even imagined what would happen a few steps further.
