Genius Aberrant: Prodigious Miss Overturning The World With Her Aberration 58 The Ruins 3

"Coz' exploring places is fun, if you don't have fun what's the point of life" This struck Zi Hua, she should have more fun, Xue Lian was lucky to be able to have such a light hearted way of thinking when she had the brains, she's actually quite intelligent despite how she acts.

"Nian Gao, do you even know where Emerald Eucommia City is?"

"..." Due to certain circumstances (eating) they had totally thrown that to the back of their minds.

"Umm, let's go ask around" Xue Lian's eyes darted to the side and tried to switch the topic and end the awkward silence caused by their gluttonous foodie selves.

"That won't work, most people know that the ruins have been founded near Emerald Eucommia City recently and due to our 'shopping sprees', we are well known around here, they might get suspicious, I still want to return here" No where else could compare to the variety of food available here.

"True, but what should we do then?" Zi Hua tried to recall the maps she had had burned but they weren't very useful since the city names change over time.

The maps her master made were quite magical, they would change along with the topography change due to erosion and such but it does not do the same with the cities.

"Hmm..."

"Wait, weren't there maps being sold in the market?"

"Oh yeah" Come to think of it, when she was passing by that shop she had a nagging feeling, she should've listened to it but oh well, at least the predicament is solved.

They went back to the market and do not belittle a merchant's passion on making money, it was so early yet they had already set up their stalls.

Zi Hua brought the map along with some desserts that they couldn't resist buying along the way and left the city with Xue Lian.

"Doufu Hua, why are you going to the ruins?" Xue Lian suddenly asked, she had just tagged along on a whim.

"To avenge my master"

"Oh?"

"But would your master like you to live a life of vengeance?"

"..." She hadn't thought about that, now that she thinks about it, her master had only told her to continue her legacy and ascend to godhood, not take revenge...

Zi Hua had suffered a lot of indignation and grievances, after such experiences it would be impossible to retain a mind and heart free of vengeance so it was ingrained into her.

"I - ...I don't know but this is what I deem right, it's the retribution they deserve" She had practically committed her entire previous life for revenge so she only knows that, it was what she deemed right, after all retribution wouldn't come on it's own accord.

"As long as you are content it is fine" Although she was rather whimsical, it also meant that she has a sophisticated understanding of the human nature from idling, what's right and wrong are for you, yourself, to decide, you may be swayed by others to think something else but in the end you had been willingly swayed.

Different people have their own different opinions, but some are just so disagreeable, take Sophist Sage Sect for an example, although they are called hypocrites, which they are, but those that are calling them hypocrites are hypocrites themselves, everyone in this world has done an act of hypocrisy at some point, no matter how big or small yet they condemn Sophist Sage Sect and not themselves.

To others they are the bad guys but to them, everyone who opposes them is bad.

"Mm" Zi Hua gave a placid reply.

The two rode towards Emerald Eucommia City whilst taking stops at a city to rest during the night whilst conveniently trying out some confectioneries, however the cities couldn't compare to the wide variety in Mauve Merchant City.

Zi Hua had told her spirit beasts beforehand that she couldn't bring them out since they would be rushing to their destination, her spirit beasts were very understanding and even Xiao Hong didn't make a fuss.

By the time they had arrived, most inns had been booked full by various sects leaving them no where to stay.
