Chapter 176: Can I Trust Them?

"You should not interact much with the Fourth Head from now on, Aya," the White Family Patriarch warned.

"I know, Father."

Aya bowed down.

From the very beginning, Aya had no intention to interact more with the Fourth Head of the Wansu City. She knew better than anyone that the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was the one scheming everything from the back.

But bringing him down...

Should she?

The political situation of Wansu City was tense and Aya was not completely clear about this. Moreover, she had never been a person who was good at management and other things. What she knew was how to get stronger and train again and again.

This was the only thing that she could do.

So if Aya were to cause chaos in Wansu City, she would have to figure out a way to help them tide over it.

Otherwise, her actions would be ridiculous and have no merit to be done.

"Go back to practice. Tomorrow... you should go and practice with Evan and the others," the White Family Patriarch said and then walked out.

These children were getting restless after being confined at home and not allowed to go out. While the White Family Patriarch and the other patriarchs were worried, but they also knew that hiding the children back any longer would do them no good.

These children’s curiosity alone might bring them into trouble if they were left alone.

It would be better for these children to be allowed to act as if nothing happened and do whatever they wanted to do.

"Yes, Father."

Aya looked at her father’s back and pursed her lips.

If she was an ordinary child, she might be overly curious about what had happened outside to the point that their parents didn’t allow her to get out. But her crystal eyes were able to see through the situation in the city if she wanted to.

Why should she go out?

And the political means and so on were too complicated for her small head. She better focused on learning magic and so on.

’But if it’s really necessary... I’ll take him down.’

Right now, Aya could see that the four families’ patriarchs were trying to keep their balance with each other. They also treated the Fourth Head of the Wansu City and didn’t show any sign of wanting to commit a betrayal or anything like that.

Since they planned to do things this way, Aya would not interfere.

Only when things turned for the worse and threatened her life would she start to take action and possibly kill the Fourth Head of the Wansu City.

Right now, this is her life.

And Aya didn’t want to let anyone destroy her peaceful life.

’But living in hiding like this...’

A magic warrior should carve their own paths and use their magic to make the impossible possible. Learning the mysteries of the world and understand their own power to make a good use of it.

Be it for their own longevity, for battles, and many others, it was all up to them.

But in these cities, Aya knew that her actions were mostly restrained because she didn’t want to show her geniuses.

In her previous life, she had never been afraid.

Because she knew that she had her family backing her.

But here....

’Can I trust them?’

The White Family was pretty good but they were not that powerful. Moreover, Aya could see that the White Family Patriarch did care for her. Otherwise, he would not spare some time to warn her personally and make sure that she was fine.

But his care for her was only a little bit.

In the White Family Patriarch’s eyes, the family was more important.

Her cousin was even more important.

Below that was her brother and at the very bottom was herself.

Aya knew these things very clearly.

It was also because of this that she didn’t try to make trouble to the White Family Patriarch and accepted the status quo. This treatment might also because Aya didn’t want to show her talent while in this world, only the strong would be heard.

Otherwise, they would be ignored.

Aya closed her eyes for a moment.

After she opened it again, the turmoil had disappeared.

No matter what would happen in the future, Aya will tread on it one step at a time. Whatever the White Family Patriarch or the Fourth Head of the Wansu City wanted to do, she will proceed as she had always been in the past.

...

Silas’s side.

After separating from Aya, Silas went to see the Black Family Patriarch and gave a report about what the Fourth Head of the Wansu City asked to Aya. Since he was present in the room, Silas told what he knew to the Black Family Patriarch as much as possible from a bystander point of view.

"I see." The Black Family Patriarch’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He could see that the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was still being careful around the White Family and treated them with respect. Perhaps, it was also the same treatment towards the genius in front of him.

Looking at Silas in front of him, the Black Family Patriarch knew that Silas was known as a genius of the Black Family, having reached rank 4 at the young age of 16 years old, there were not that many people who could reach his height.

The students in the academy would usually only reach rank 3 and stuck there, not able to reach rank 4 even after they graduated.

Only a few of them were able to reach rank 4.

And compared to Silas who had fought on the battlefield and had countless fighting experience, those fresh graduate students were naturally not comparable.

"How long will it take for you to advance to rank 5?"

Hearing this sudden question, Silas was confused. "I don’t know, Patriarch."

Silas definitely couldn’t say that he had already achieved this stage a few years ago and used the technique that his father gave to him to hide his current rank from other people’s eyes.
