Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

At this point, their strength was simply incomprehensible for these onlooking teenagers!

It wasn’t just these snot-nosed kids who were shocked beyond words by their performance. Even the great elders stared at the scoreboard with their jaws wide open.

“Darn, as expected of the Peacekeepers! We meet once more and once again, they have taken my breath away!”

“Level 100? Looks like I have to step up my game now!”

“How the hell did these people manage to reach such a level!?”

“It’s understandable for Mister Yao to be capable of this, but Miss Xiao too?! Isn’t she a movie star? How on earth is she so strong as well!?”

“Those who followed Miss Gu’s direction have all reached level 100 now!”

“…”

“Dad, how did these guys do it? Weren’t they really slow in the beginning? As if they were on the brink of failure? How the heck did they manage to climb over level 100 again?!” asked one of the teenagers.

His father shook his head. “We will never know what the Peacekeepers are actually up to. Look, Mister Yao has left the Trial Tower already. I’m gonna go ask him.”

Xiao Yun trailed behind Yao Jiamu who had emerged from the Trial Tower. “Thank god I still have my game,” he turned towards her and said with a cheeky smile.

Xiao Yun responded with a similar smile. “The same goes for me too.”

Yao Jiamu overheard the questions being thrown around about their initial progress in the Trial Tower. He smiled at them. “You’re referring to the beginning? That was when we were using our brute strength to force our way up the levels. We only switched to using our chi when our bodies could take it no longer.”

Thud!

Thud!

It was the dull sound of the kids falling over from shock. Although they were already told beforehand of how terrifyingly powerful the Peacekeepers were, this level of power was simply unacceptable!

It would be weird if the Peacekeepers did not create such feelings of inferiority and pure, unfiltered shock among these people!

At this point, there were only a handful of people left who had yet to breach level 100.

“Alang, I have made a mistake. I should not have followed you guys here! You’re all weirdo monsters I swear!” Cecily had once worked alongside the Peacekeepers but this sort of disparity was far bigger than she had anticipated. It was practically a stab to her own ego!

It’s been twenty years since they last met and they weren’t under Gu Xiqiao’s leadership anymore! How on earth were they able to progress so quickly?!

Alang scratched his head. “Stop brooding, it’s time for us to pay Miss Gu a visit at the Jiang family.”

“Hey, wait up, I wanna go too!” Cecily had come here primarily to see Gu Xiqiao, not to witness the Peacekeepers demolish the Trial Tower.

These people left as quickly as they came. What’s left was a crowd of onlookers who slowly returned to their senses.

The older ones patted the youngsters on the shoulder and flashed them a warm, gentle smile. “See that? They are the Peacekeepers we keep talking about. Didn’t you kids say that you could surge ahead of them? Why don’t you go ahead and try your luck up there?”

Some offered words of reassurance. “Hey, it’s alright dear. Keep calm.”

‘Yeah it’s easy for you to say that. But how the hell are we supposed to stay calm? How?!’

The reactions of these teenagers did not really matter in the grander scheme of things. The Peacekeepers’ achievements in the Trial Tower however, spread across the supernatural world at lightning speed. Of course, most of the people reacted in surprise to this news.

The Peacekeepers were surprisingly unfazed by the fact that they had just made history. Cautiously, they made their way towards the Jiang family from every direction.

At the Jiang family.

Shu Chen was busy memorizing the formula for winning a game of cards that Gu Xiqiao had taught her. She emerged from her room upon hearing the butler’s call. “Qiao Qiao has gone out.”

“Out? Where?” asked Xiao Yun.

“To a small place. But still, she told me to relay this message to you guys. ‘Stay calm and think’, she said. You’ll get your answer once she returns.” Despite the fact that Shu Chen was still holding onto a card when she spoke, her face was dead serious.

The Peacekeepers quelled their excitement and gradually started thinking. They left the Jiang family after bidding Shu Chen farewell.

“Grandma.” A clear voice called out.

A 15 or 16-year-old girl slowly descended the stairs. In her hand was a phone from a particular fruit-based brand. She let out a lazy yawn.
