Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

An Ruowang had some doubts:

"She didn't tell you about me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly sensed something.

That's the feeling of being watched.

He glanced to his left, following his instincts, and found that Sharon had somehow appeared in the glass of the waiting room.

Because the yard at home is quite large, most of the combat training is conducted in the yard.

To make it easier for Sharon to rest and recuperate after training, An Ruowang had her servants prepare a guest room for her to stay in.

Now that her rest was over, she had changed back into a black court dress and was sitting on an illusory high-backed chair, her right hand supporting her cheek as she stared intently at him and listened to his conversation with Earl Hall.

They've also become acquainted with my gossip.

An Ruowang withdrew her gaze and looked back at Earl Hall.

Earl Hall, oblivious to his fleeting glance, watched his reaction intently and probed:

"She certainly doesn't, but that doesn't mean your methods are clever."

It turned out to be the case.

An Ruowang thought for a moment and quickly understood everything.

The cause of this incident was probably that Audrey did not tell her father, Earl Hall, that he was an extraordinary being and that he had made a deal with her.

Therefore, in the eyes of Earl Hall, who had an information gap, it became:

Audrey was interested in Aleister, but fearing that Earl Hall would disapprove, she deliberately bypassed Earl Hall and "voluntarily" helped him solve his tax problems to win the heart of her beloved.

Therefore, Earl Hall, who dotes on his daughter, visited him today specifically to see what exactly happened.

If he is a frivolous dissolute who wants to curry favor with the Hall family, then Earl Hall has come today to warn him.

If he is truly innocent, and it's just Audrey's one-sided thinking, then today is to remind him not to have any undue thoughts about Audrey.

If he is someone worth trying to win over—

But judging from Earl Hall's "polite" expression and suppressed emotional reaction, An Ruowang knew that, in Earl Hall's eyes, this option probably did not exist.

As for why Earl Hall didn't ask his own daughter what was going on first, but instead came to him first?

Perhaps they were afraid of escalating the conflict between father and daughter, leading to a melodramatic storyline involving a young noblewoman obsessed with love?

The idea that Wang Baochuan defied her father's orders to marry the poor Xue Pinggui and severed their father-daughter relationship with three slaps, in the context of Lu En, is more like Romeo and Juliet. Those who know, know.

So why didn't Audrey want to tell her father the truth?

If that's the case, the tax issue is just something she mentions to her father.

An Ruowang thought that Audrey probably didn't want her parents to know that she wanted to become an extraordinary person, just like some teenagers would secretly buy swords to play with without telling their disapproving parents.

In Earl Hall's eyes, a terrifying extraordinary being or a secret, powerful organization was often synonymous with danger, no different from the swords and spears that parents saw.

The end result was that Audrey, who was currently just a novice, was discovered by her father, which led to Earl Hall approaching him and causing him some minor trouble.

So, what should we do?

Exposing her in front of Audrey's father?

She'd probably hate him to death.

He also disliked doing things like tattling to the teacher and organizing his friends, finding it too shady and sordid.

Hey, I've got it!

He sighed dramatically at Holber:

"Count, I think you've misunderstood."

Earl Hall raised an eyebrow, seemingly puzzled:

"Oh?"

I'd like to see how you explain this.

An Ruowang's tone was tinged with helplessness and a hint of annoyance:

"I have no interest in your daughter; I only asked her for help casually."

He paused, then continued:

"You can simply go back and tell Miss Audrey to 'be careful' and not 'overthink things' and cause me trouble."

Miss Audrey, you should take responsibility for your own small mistakes.

"What?!"

Earl Hall's previously barely "polite" expression suddenly turned somewhat red.

He had originally thought he was there to warn a young man who might be after his daughter, someone who would weakly defend himself, fawn over him, or try to prove he was worthy of Audrey. But now—

What kind of attitude is that?

Who do you think you are, daring to look down on my daughter?!

He also told me to go back and tell Audrey not to flatter him, and that she had caused him trouble?

Don't want to live?!

His eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets, and his hands were trembling with anger.

"you--!"

Seeing Earl Hall's appearance, An Ruowang shook her head inwardly.

You get angry if you like your daughter, and you get angry if you don't like your daughter. What do you want?

Before Count Hall could finish speaking, he took out a dark gold brooch shaped like a sunbird from his pocket and skillfully infused it with spiritual energy according to a certain pattern.

The next moment, a warm light gently spread from the brooch, neither dazzling nor intense, like the afternoon sun in spring, making people feel lazy.

Before Earl Hall could finish speaking, he froze completely.

He felt a warm current flowing into his body from all directions, passing through his skin and seeping into his blood, washing away and purifying his previously intense liver fire and all the impurities in his body.

He even felt that the long-accumulated fatigue in his body, as well as the minor injuries and illnesses caused by overwork, were gently soothed by some force at this moment, making him feel much more relaxed and comfortable.

Earl Hall stood there, stunned.

He looked at An Ruowang, at the sun brooch that was still faintly glowing, at that face that remained calm and even faintly proud and sacred in the backlight, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

An Ruowang's calm gaze fell on Earl Hall's face, and she spoke slowly and calmly, without any sign of joy or anger:

"I am an extraordinary being, I have no interest in ordinary people, and I mean you no harm. I only wish to live a peaceful life—does saying this make you feel better, Count?"

Earl Hall shuddered, a tingling sensation running down his spine from his back to the back of his head.

His face showed surprise and fear, and his attitude finally became respectful. His lips parted slightly, then closed, then parted again, clearly calling out:

"...Mr. Aleister, I understand. Please forgive my rudeness earlier..."

If what happened just now had been an attack instead of a purification, he would probably be dead by now...

The corpse is talking.

"It's okay."

An Ruowang put the sun brooch back into her bosom: "I can understand that you just want to protect your daughter."

I still prefer your attitude from earlier; please change it.
