Chapter 64: Chapter 64 - Confronting the Flower Thief!
"That's great!! Fairy!! You must catch the flower thief!!
The moment the waiter heard that Su Yubing was a an immortal fairy, he became extremely excited as being an ordinary mortal he also had a natural sense of awe towards immortals, especially those from the Su family. After all, this town is under the jurisdiction of the Su family, here people already idolize the Su family in their hearts.
Su Yubing was used to hearing the word 'fairy' from a very young age, so she didn't care about it and asked calmly,
"Is there any recent news about the flower thief?"
"Ohh! Now that fairy has asked me, it seems that since the first attempt on Mr.Xin's daughter failed, the flower thief has been a little weirdly silent. Though I don't know why." The waiter thoughtfully said to Su Yubing.
Su Yubing just nodded slightly and after finishing her meal, she paid the bill, took out her sword, mobilized her spiritual power, used the art of secondary flying and rode on her sword towards the Xin Family Mansion.
The arrival of Su Yubing has already reached the ears of Mr.Xin and he immediately hurried out with all the core members of the family to greet her.
After all, it's not just any ordinary elder or disciple of the Su family but actually the only child of the Su Family who is also a heaven defying genius to actually achieve foundation building at the age of only 15!!
The moment, Mr.Xin saw Su Yubing, his gentle face immediately revealed a happy and relieved smile as he walked towards Su Yubing.
Mr. Xin and all the other core members of his family immediately bowed towards Su Yubing and greeted her very enthusiastically,
"Welcome to our humble abode, Young Miss."
Su Yubing was naturally familiar with this way of being greeted and her expression didn't change much from the beginning. She also greeted them back calmly,
"It's been a long time since we met, Uncle Xin. How are you?" Su Yubing asked Mr.Xin as being the only child of the Su family, father Su has already brought her around all the vessel families to introduce her as the future heir to the family.
Mr. Xin has always been a gentle man who dotes on his only wife and daughter, but now he seems visibly exhausted and pale as the matter of the flower thief targetting his daughter has made him unable to sleep for days.
Fortunately Su Yubing came at the right time.
"Haha.. it's the humble servant's honour to be remembered by young miss. And congratulations on your successful breakthrough. Young miss will definitely make the Su family fly higher." Mr.Xin said with a warm smile on his already exhausted face.
"Don't worry, uncle Xin. Now that I've taken this mission, I will definitely not let the flower thief live a day longer." Su Yubing said to uncle Xin and her words made him have a relieved expression.
"Then please save my daughter, I will forever be indebted to you." Uncle Xin bowed and said to Su Yubing.
Su Yubing just used her spiritual power to stop him from bowing and said in a tone which was neither overbearing nor arrogant,
"It's fine, uncle Xin. Protecting the vessel families is my duty as the future heir to Su family."
Hearing her words, uncle Xin marveled at such a young genius woman who holds such wisdom even in her young age.
'Young Lady Su is truly different from others. Maybe she will be the one who will bring the Su family to the whole continent.' Uncle Xin thought in his heart and couldn't help but feel admiration towards this young woman.
Su Yubing followed him inside of the house and listened to uncle Xin's words and learned about the current information.
The flower thief already tried to break into Mr.Xin's daughter's room but was successfully repelled by a formation.
"Young lady Su doesn't know but this formation was left by an immortal when my wife saved her from a life threatening injury and she left us this formation to repay us. It was precisely because of this that the flower thief failed.
I'm really grateful to my wife for her kind heart otherwise, I don't want to think what would've happened if the formation wasn't there." Recalling the event of that night, Uncle Xin still seemed to have some lingering fear.
"Let's go and have a look." Su Yubing said.
Uncle Xin quickly took her to another courtyard and as soon as she stepped inside, she could feel the fluctuations of spiritual power and she knew in an instant that it must belong to the formation.
Su Yubing already has many conjectures in her heart.
Even though she isn't a real formation master but the Su family founder has left a vast variety of cultivation book ranging from alchemy to beast training to formation and even talisman making.
All the heirs of the family must read these books and gain a broad view from these various knowledge to prepare for any event in future.
Those knowledge now came into practice for Su Yubing now.
Su Yubing carefully examined the formation and found that it was an ordinary self protection formation with a fixed usage limit depending on the intruder's cultivation.
She also found that it was made by someone in the perfection foundation building stage and could take on a full power of an initial foundation building cultivator for at least 3 times but because it has been a long time since this formation was formed and it could be seen that it was also made with normal material, it has already lost a lot of its effectiveness.
This, it could only hold the flower thief back one time and now it has already lost most of its power but will still be able to hold him back for some time.
She also found from the residue spiritual power that the flower thief indeed belongs to the initial foundation building stage.
"This formation has already lost its effectiveness. We need to prepare our next course of action, depending on the formation is not a possibility anymore." Su Yubing stated calmly to uncle Xin who nodded solemnly to her.
"How many days has the flower thief been absent for?" Su Yubing asked uncle Xin.
He thought for a moment before replying,
" Counting the days, its been almost a week since the last time flower thief was here."
Su Yubing was again doubtful about the cause of his disappearance.
It stands to reason that the flower thief must've also seen that the formation will not be effective next time so his disappearance begs the question as to whether he gave up or not.
But a flower thief's nature prevents them from giving up on their pray and Su Yubing was sure that he will appear soon.
Su Yubing wasn't afraid of the flower thief after all for a young genius like her, she can already fight someone one level higher than her, let alone someone of the same level.
She also has a strong explosion talisman in her hand which is condensed by a strong perfection foundation building stage cultivator and it can injure even a perfection foundation building cultivator once used.
Su Yubing thought for a moment and decided on her next course of action,
"From this day, I will pretend to be a maid for miss Xin and stay in this courtyard. Let's wait for the flower thief to appear."
Finding out where the flower thief's lair lies is definitely to a practical task, so waiting for him appear again is her best bet.
Uncle Xin immediately made arrangements for her and Su Yubing temporarily stayed in the courtyard.
A few days passed without anything happening.
On this night, the wind was unusually chilly giving people a sense of forboding.
The moon was brightly hung on the clear sky with shining stars twinkling non stop.
Uncle Xin's daughter was sleeping in the room and she was hiding in a special room prepared by uncle Xin which directly connects to this room.
She will be able to feel everything happening in Miss Xin's room.
Suddenly, there was a huge guest of wind which directly opened the door with a loud bang.
Following the sound, Su Yubing clearly felt a huge vibration from the formation outside.
In an instant, the spiritual power fluctuations of the formation was completely gone and Su Yubing was visibly shaken from what she witnessed.
It stands to reason that although the flower thief may be able to break the formation, it would definitely take him quite a few seconds but it happened in an instant.
Su Yubing already started having a bad feeling.
As soon as the formation was broken, the flower thief appeared inside the room.
Su Yubing couldn't see his appearance as it seemed to have been masked by some methods, making him appear to be particularly eerie.
He walked towards miss Xin seemingly having his eyes focused on her and Su Yubing naturally used the opportunity. content-source-MVLeMpYr
She took her sword, injected a huge amount of spiritual power in it and in an instant her spiritual power exploded and she appeared right behind the flower thief aiming to stab his back and straight through his heart.
But! Her attack was actually blocked by a spiritual barrier and the flower thief didn't even turn around!!
