C2 Turning Inside out

After a long while, he mustered the courage to retrieve the copper mirror and looked at it again.

In the blurry copper mirror, a face similar to that of a human beast appeared, with a scar the size of a basin.

The reddish-brown scar ran from the scalp to the neck, spanning most of the face. This was only limited to the visible part, and it was not known whether there was still any part covered by the front and back clothes.

"Let me die!" Guan Xiaoyu's fingers trembled for a long time, but she did not have the courage to touch it.

For such a face, let alone others who wished for her death, even she herself felt that living in this world was truly sinful.

If Guan Xiaoyu hadn't experienced death once, for example, if she had suddenly become like this in her previous life, she might really be courting death. However, she had already experienced death once. No one could understand better than her just how precious life was.

There was no absolute in this world. Only by living could a miracle happen.

However, with such an ugly face and two immobile legs, how could he still be alive? This was truly worrisome!

"Oh right, young lady, I still don't know your name." Guan Xiaoyu continued to get closer. If she wanted to get any more information, she would have to break through from the person in front of her.

"My name is Guan Si, just like you, I'm a girl from the Guan Residence. "Three months ago, Chief Eunuch Zhang looked at me with quite a bit of color. He coaxed me into being his concubine. I thought I could break away from this generation and become a slave, but who would've thought …" At this point, Guan Si paused before smiling bitterly and said, "It's fine if you don't mention it, but from the looks of you, it seems that the ladies have coaxed you to go into the pond to catch fish again. It's rare for you to wake up today."

"Am I bad at times?"

"Yeah, sometimes you're silly, and sometimes you act like a normal person. Every time you act stupid, you forget what happened."

"..." "This …" This body is really tailored for her. No matter what she asks, she won't reveal any flaws, making others suspicious of her.

While the two of them were talking, two figures appeared in front of the door, blocking out the sunlight.

The two attendants who had brought Guan Xiaoyu in earlier returned with a grave expression on their faces.

Guan Xiao Yu could smell a trace of unease in the air.

This feeling of unease was felt even by the overseer on the bed.

"Little Tong and Little Shun, did something happen?" the Secretary asked.

"She's going to suffer." One of them, Little Shun, said, "Previously, the ladies thought she was dead, so they let us feed her to the snow wolves. Who would've thought that a person who was obviously dead would come back to life on the way."

Xiao Tong continued, "When we reported to young miss earlier, the young ladies were furious. "Well, let's throw her out and let her fend for herself."

Guan Xiaoyu still had not reacted to his words as she struggled out of bed. As she walked, she played with the bracelet on her wrist. " What a sin! "She's like this, sometimes silly, sometimes not. Isn't giving it out just waiting for death?!"

"We don't want to do that either, but the ladies have instructed us that even if we can't raise her, and even if we cut out a bite to eat from between our teeth, this brick and tile isn't ours. There's no place for her to stay."

"The steward pushed the bracelet in his hand to the two of them." "How about this, you guys take her to my house. Although she is old and worn out, at least she has a tile to cover her body."

The two of them had already made their move to pull Guan Xiaoyu away, but now they had no choice but to stop. "Guan Si, why are you wading in muddy waters? If Chief Manager Zhang finds out, he'll punish you again!"

Guan Si revealed a pale smile. "Go on, it's already like this. What else can he do? He's still a human life!"

Little Tong shook his head and sighed as he lifted Guan Xiaoyu onto the cart.

Guan Xiaoyu didn't know what to say, but her heart was filled with gratitude towards him.

Before leaving, Guan Si said, "Wait for me at my house first. Don't wander around. I'll come over later."

Just like that, Guan Xiaoyu left the butler she had arrived at.

Previously, when she heard that he wanted to send her home, Guan Xiaoyu had thought that she would meet his family. She didn't expect that at this place, the two houses would be tidily tidied up, but the furniture on the floor was covered in dust, making it seem as if no one had lived there for a long time.

"If the Management Department wants you to stay here, then you should stay. Don't go out and run around. This area is not safe. Don't blame us, we were forced to do it. " Little Tong and Little Shun left after exchanging a few words.

Guan Xiaoyu leaned against the bench as the afternoon sun shone into the room. Small specks of dust fluttered in the light beams as time passed.

Guan Xiaoyu thought over the events that occurred after her death and her heart quieted down.

As expected, in the evening, the wooden door of the small courtyard creaked and the coarse robe of Guan Si returned.

"You're back?" Guan Xiaoyu found it inconvenient to move around and simply leaned back in her chair to greet her.

The steward carried a box of food in her hand, and she took them out one by one.

"I brought some food for you, enough for you to eat for a few days. Come over and eat dinner first."

The so-called dinner was actually just a few thick steamed buns and a bowl of cold water coming from the well.

In his previous life, he cared about Xiaoyu's extravagant lifestyle, and it was a complete waste of his heavenly resources. Yan Baoji almost vomited as he ate. A bottle of red wine was priceless, and not a single bottle was below 100,000 yuan. Now, facing these steamed buns …

Guan Xiaoyu was not a person who had never experienced hardships. In the early days of her career, all sorts of bills were piled up on the table. She was being chased for her salary by her employees, and when her landlord chased for her water and electricity bills, she almost jumped off the viaduct in despair …

It was all in the past, and now this little difficulty was not difficult for her at all.

Guan Xiaoyu ate with relish.

Guan Si who was watching from the side had no doubt that he was the culprit. She gloomily said, "While you're awake, let me say a few words to you. We grew up together, but my ability is also limited, so I can't help you much. "

As the two chatted, Guan Xiaoyu also learned that this bustling continent was divided into five countries. Their country names were very interesting, and they were named according to their natures – Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

The nature of these five elements rightly summed up the characteristics of each country.

For example, the country they lived in was a country with lush vegetation. Almost four fifths of the land was covered in forest, and the capital city, Green City, was built on a mountain range.

The State of Shui was formed of countless small islands scattered throughout the sea. The State of Jin had a plethora of metal mines, the State of Fire had many volcanoes, and the Land of Earth was a desert.

The society here was similar to that of ancient China. It was a feudal society under the tyranny of kings. There was a martial arts world, a imperial government, ordinary people, and even nobles.

What was special was that there was something different about this place! Yes!

According to Guan Xiaoyu's understanding, an Adept was someone who could use his or her surroundings to cast spells. This was similar to magic, something the people here called mystical arts.

There were very few Adepts, and they were the patents of the nobility. If there were any Adepts among the commoners, they would immediately be recruited by either the state or the nobles, becoming a subsidiary force of the nobility.

As for the types of mystical arts, they were roughly compatible with the properties of the five countries. They were divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Some people could learn one type of mystical art while others could learn more than one. However, as long as one knew one, even the lowest level, it was enough to make one laugh arrogantly.

In addition to Adepts, ordinary people could also learn martial arts and swordsmanship to strengthen themselves. This was a world of martial arts and mystical arts.

Guan Xiaoyu's eyes lit up as she listened. She had never seen such a bizarre world unfold before her eyes before – however, thinking about her maimed body, her mood dampened.

The heavens had opened a window for her, but it had only slapped her hard in the face and then closed again.

Sigh!

The steward left that night. The steward had given strict orders that no servant was allowed to spend the night outside. Those who violated this rule were to be sentenced to death by the staff.

Guan Xiaoyu spent the night without washing her hands or brushing her teeth before going to bed. The next day, although she was filled with emotions, she had no choice but to go out.

In Guan Si's words, it was called: In the future, she would have to rely on herself.

Since he was relying on himself, how could he not understand his living environment!

Guan Xiaoyu used a large piece of flowery cloth to wrap around half of her scar-covered face. Only her left eye, which was slightly less ugly, was exposed to prevent herself from being killed like a monster before she could even leave the door.

She put her hands on a skateboard and went out.

This was the first time that Guan Xiaoyu had ever seen this new world through the eyes of a lowly person.

Green City was said to be built in a mountain range, but looking from the inside, apart from the fact that everyone was a fan of green, no one could tell it was any different from the ancient cities inside the movie city.

The bazaar was filled with shops, wine shops, and hawkers. Precious gems were dazzling, and the fragrance of all kinds of snacks assailed the nostrils. The flow of tourists was endless, and it seemed rather lively.

Wherever there were people, there was the martial arts world, consumption, and business opportunities.

Doing business was Guan Xiaoyu's old business, so it should not be a problem for her to find a way out.

Guan Xiaoyu had many ways to make money in her head, but her movements were inconvenient. She was going to ask Guan Si to be her "professional manager" and use the modern knowledge she had learned. Not only would she not starve to death, she might even be able to show off her skills!

He thought happily in his heart, but unexpectedly, with a "Clang Dang" sound, a small coin fell onto the ground beside her. It spun a few rounds before stopping.

Mass A: "Take it to buy some food, it's really pitiful!"

Another small piece of money fell on the skateboard.

Mass B: "How pitiful. You're already so ugly, but you're still a paralytic."

F * ck me! Didn't I bring a big flowery cloth? How do you know I'm ugly! You still treat me like a beggar!

Err, however, Guan Xiaoyu thought about her current appearance in her mind. Wasn't it the standard beggar appearance?

A beggar!

He was penniless. Even if he wanted to do business, he would need capital, no?

Besides, there was only a small bag of fried rice and several scones left behind by the steward. It was enough to eat for a few days, but what was the point of living off of them?

This was true: a dragon swimming in shallow water will be played by shrimp, a tiger falling to the ground will be bullied by a dog, a cat will be more powerful than a tiger, a phoenix will be inferior to a chicken!

Thinking up to here, Guan Xiaoyu thanked him generously and accepted it.

The people of Mu Country can do it, but the people should live a good life, because there are still a lot of people willing to give alms.

Guan Xiaoyu was a reborn person. Being able to survive was already a good thing. In her previous life, she had just suffered from too much face and too much respect for her dignity. Therefore, there was nothing she could not let go of.

She was a cripple herself, and she did not need to deliberately mystify things. She could get half a dime in a day.

Don't look down on this small amount of money, a girl like Guan Si only had two small pieces of money a month!

From the looks of it, begging for food was a good way to earn money.

Guan Xiaoyu had accumulated some initial capital and came up with a good idea. She had wanted to discuss it with the Management Division, but they had yet to arrive.

These days, Guan Xiaoyu was still dressing as she headed out the door. While she was begging for food, she was thinking about how to pass a message to the overseer. Unexpectedly, she ran into an expert.

"Young lady, I see that you have a strange talent in bones and essence. You are a genius in martial arts. I want to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"
