Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 407: Trouble Caused by Perspective (1)_1

Her brows furrowed slightly, wondering whether she would be able to see that man today. Perhaps finding him, finding Li Wanying, would unravel the mysteries one by one. But why did they build the rockery here? Could there be a secret within it?"Isn’t this just an ordinary rockery? Aside from rocks, what else could be there?" Shangguan You tilted her head and looked at Zhuge Yue with a teasing smile.

"Wrong. This is not an ordinary rockery. Stand on top of it and try; then you’ll know," Zhuge Yue said proudly. As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei both leaped to the top of the rockery. Although they had heard about it, they had never personally verified it. Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, they naturally wanted to see if it was as good as the legends suggested.

"This is a Spirit Gathering Stone!" The two of them looked surprised as they stood upon it, feeling wisps of dense Spiritual Energy coursing into their bodies. The Spiritual Energy within the rockery was also gradually diffusing into the surroundings. It seemed the legend was true; there really was a Spirit Gathering Stone inside this rockery.

"Correct. The Family Head placed the rockery here because the Spiritual Energy above it is even more abundant. We have invited countless Superpower Users, hoping they could see through the rockery and determine why it has such dense Spiritual Energy, but even the most accomplished Clairvoyants could not see through its contents," Zhuge Yue added confidently.

Zhuge Peng then nodded and said proudly, "This rockery has indeed made the Zhuge Family famous for a long time. Yes, this is our Zhuge Family’s Spirit Gathering Stone. Moreover, to allow everyone in Hidden World Village to better absorb Spiritual Energy, the previous Family Head invited the most authoritative person from the Qi Family to place the rockery here. The human and material resources spent on this rockery are truly countless."

"Since Clairvoyants can’t see what’s inside," Zhuge Peng continued, "the Family Head decided, for safety’s sake, not to dismantle the rockery but to keep it intact here at Du Street. This allows more people, even everyone in Hidden World Village, to absorb Spiritual Power more effectively. This way, everyone can benefit. But as for what’s actually inside, no one knows to this day."

An elderly voice rang out. Then, Elder Shi and Zhuge Yang walked over, followed by two other white-bearded old men. They nodded and smiled at everyone as a greeting.

"Elder Shi, Elder Yang, Elder De, Elder Wu," Zhuge Yue and Zhuge Peng greeted the four men respectfully.

"Mm," Elder Shi responded, a hint of indulgence in his eyes as he looked at Zhuge Yue.

"Young Master Bai, Young Master Fang, you are rare visitors indeed. I never expected to see such honored guests today," Zhuge Yang said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. When his eyes landed on Young Master Ye and Shangguan You, a mocking expression flickered across his face. This place was not accessible to just anyone, and yet they had brought so many people with them.

"Elder Yang, we came for the excitement. You may not be aware, but this young lady claims to possess clairvoyant abilities, so I brought her here to see if she can see through what’s inside the rockery," Li Zhaohong said sarcastically, her gaze occasionally falling on Shangguan You.

At Li Zhaohong’s words, everyone’s gazes turned sharply to Shangguan You, filled with disdain, mockery, contempt, and schadenfreude.

The man who had won a piece of Spirit Jade on Du Street earlier was now looking at Shangguan You with interest. It’s unexpected to encounter someone with similar abilities. In the mortal world, such abilities would make one the center of attention, but here, they only invite scorn.

"Little girl, don’t be afraid. Even though you have clairvoyance, it doesn’t matter if you can’t see through this large rockery; no one will blame you," the Clairvoyant man who had spoken earlier said softly, comforting Shangguan You. Although his sincerity was uncertain, Youyou was still somewhat grateful. "Thank you, uncle. Can you see through what’s inside?" Shangguan You asked the Clairvoyant man beside her, her tone neutral.

"My abilities don’t reach that far," the Clairvoyant Superpower User shook his head. All he could see was a white expanse of rock layers, with no discernible contents within.

"Little girl, in that case, take a look and see if you can tell us what’s inside here. If you really can see something, our Zhuge Family will surely reward you generously," Zhuge Yang nodded at Shangguan You, his expression kind and benevolent. If one didn’t know his true nature, they would surely be deceived by his appearance.

Shangguan You smiled softly at Zhuge Yang, then stepped before the crowd and looked toward the rockery. Young Master Ye stood closely behind her.

"If you can’t see through it, just say so directly. Although you need Spirit Jade, it also depends on whether you have the ability to take it," Young Master Ye whispered beside her, not bothering with sound transmission.

"Mm, I know," Shangguan You nodded. She could clearly see the Spirit Jade near Zhuge Yang.

"Youyou, it doesn’t matter if you can’t see through it," Bai Muxue said softly, smiling gently at Shangguan You as his white figure stood protectively before her. No matter what, he didn’t want to see her bullied.

"That’s right. You’re so young; nobody will laugh at you even if your skills aren’t yet finely honed," Fang Jianfei said, looking at her with a curious expression.

"Indeed, little sister, if you can’t see through it, that’s okay too," Fang Jianyu added with a kind smile.

"Hmph, how laughable! If you can’t see what’s inside, what use are your eyes? Claiming to have clairvoyant eyes, you’re nothing but a charlatan," Zhuge Yue scoffed coldly. Now that the Elders were present, she felt even more confident.

The corners of Shangguan You’s mouth twitched. What did it matter to Zhuge Yue whether I’m a charlatan or not? The fact that I passed the assessment to get in here is proof enough of my ability. Otherwise, I would’ve been thrown out long ago. That Zhuge Yue is an idiot.

Ignoring Zhuge Yue, Shangguan You’s hands, hidden by her sleeves, swiftly formed a hand seal, casting the Clairvoyance Spell. I can see through even the earth’s strata; surely this rockery won’t defeat my vision! Even if I can’t see through it now, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just pay it a visit tonight. A treasure like this Spirit Gathering Stone... although the purple Spiritual Energy in my space is better, if I could steal this and give it to Shangguan Hao for his cultivation, his progress would improve by leaps and bounds!
