Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 343: Have You Gone Mad?

“What is it?” Gu Xiqiao raised her eyebrows and asked upon feeling Cecily’s gaze on her.

Cecily glanced at Narry before replying lazily, “Nothing much, I just felt that you can be quite useful sometimes.”

Gu Xiqiao hummed before looking back towards the zoo, where Jiang Shuxuan had already gotten to the gates and was looking over in their direction.

“Mr. Jiang, what do we need to do now?” The leader of America asked as he walked over to Jiang Shuxuan.

Jiang Shuxuan didn’t reply to this and only started letting out waves of energy that caused the leader to step back and look up at him in shock.

“What’s wrong leader?” Cecily watched as Gu Xiqiao walked over to Jiang Shuxuan and took out a few pieces of jade before walking over to the leader, and was quite taken aback by how absolutely shocked the leader seemed to be.

The leader wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead as he replied, “Since when did Young Master Jiang become this strong?”

She had thought that something went wrong, but upon hearing that it was because of this, Cecily rolled her eyes and replied, “He already could win against the top ten on the Heaven and Earth Rankings years ago, do you think it’s strange that he’s even stronger now?”

Does he think it’s strange? Was it not?! They were all living on the same planet and he had been training for much longer than Jiang Shuxuan had, but he would definitely be defeated in an instant!

“Alright, ” Cecily looked over at the blue barrier that had enclosed the area above the zoo and inhaled deeply. “It’s about to start, let’s go.”

There was a tall building right next to the zoo, and right at that moment, many people from the supernatural world of America had already converged on the roof and were watching things go down in the zoo.

Meanwhile, the jade in Gu Xiqiao’s hands had already floated into position, and in the next moment the zoo was enveloped in a thick, cloudy fog, and it was clear that the zoo had been enveloped with an array.

Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan made their way to the roof too, and Gu Xiqiao squinted slightly as her mental power blanketed the entire zoo.

“She set up an array in such a short time?”

“Oh my God! This is the Microcosmic Array!”

“Sh*t, have I gone crazy?”

“Is she still a human being?!”

“...”

Such exclamations were elicited from the many onlookers as they all looked over at Gu Xiqiao as if she were a rare breed on exhibit in a zoo.

“Shut up.” Jiang Shuxuan turned around and glared at them coldly when he saw Gu Xiqiao’s eyebrows furrow in displeasure.

Those voices immediately disappeared.

Everyone looked over at the leader with questioning gazes: What, was it illegal to be in awe of this girl? Could they not express their amazement? It’s damn difficult to hold it in!

The leader replied with a single gaze that said: Why don’t you people reflect on how weak you are instead of acting like country bumpkins?

Everyone: Well if you’re such a big shot why don’t you go and fight her?

The leader: ...

Just as everyone was having this unspoken conversation, Cecily looked towards the sky where a helicopter flew into range, and a dozen figures jumped down from it.

This scene would have been quite frightening to the regular person—Did these people have a death wish, jumping down from such a height?

That being said, even the people on the roof were surprised by this scene because it was quite extraordinary even for the likes of superhumans, but when they saw that those people were the subordinates of Jiang Shuxuan, they all felt as if it were natural.

Jiang Shuxuan’s team of subordinates were at the top of the entire ancient martial arts world, after all!

Cecily only fixed them all with a pitying stare—Were they so easily surprised? Wait till they saw Qiao Qiao’s Peacekeepers!

“Sis, did I miss anything?” Cecil rushed over and asked upon seeing that the zoo had been enveloped with a thick fog.

“Nope, no worries.” Cecily glanced over at Nozawa who came together with Cecil. “So you went to fetch him, I see?”

Cecil breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that he hadn’t missed anything. “He was nearby, so we came together when we heard that Miss Gu was here.”

Cecily nodded curtly and turned back to look in the direction of the zoo, knowing that he didn’t miss out on any of the action. “He was at the base and he heard that Miss Gu would be here, so he said he wanted to come too.”

Meanwhile, Yi Tong, Yi Bing, and Yi Qiao were standing at another corner of the roof where none of the Americans dared to step close to them, and Yi Tong looked over to see Alang standing next to Jiji. “Is this the newbie that Miss Gu recruited?”

“Yup, it’s him!” Jiji waved its arms around in the air and replied.

Yi Yong nodded and looked towards Alang. “Good luck kid, you’ll get flooded with challengers the moment you step into the ancient martial arts world!”

Alang was still quite taken aback by how these people jumped down from a few hundred meters in the air, so he unconsciously shrank into himself. “Challenge me?”

Yi Tong only glanced at him with raised eyebrows. Back in the ancient martial arts world, there was an uncountable amount of youngsters that wanted to join the Peacekeepers, and this foreigner that popped out of nowhere got to join, so it was only natural that he would be challenged for his position.

He didn’t say this out loud, however, and only fixed him with a stare.

Alang felt a chill run down his spine upon being stared at like this, but before he could say anything, a voice came from behind him, “Is Joyner all better?”

Alang turned around to see that it was Cecil, and now that the topic had been brought up, he replied with a surprised tone, “I don’t know what it was that Miss Gu fed her, but the illness that plagued her for almost ten years was cured halfway just like that!”

Alang had expected the others to be shocked by this news, but he hadn’t expected everyone from Cecily to Yi Tong to nod as if this was a perfectly normal occurrence.

“Miss Gu probably didn’t have most of her tools at hand, or else your sister would have been cured in a single day!” Yi Tong commented.

And so, Alang’s plan to shock them backfired, and he was the one that was shocked once more!

Huh, did no one think that it was an extraordinary feat? What was this reaction?

“Yi Tong, Boss wants to see you.” Yi Bing leaned close to Yi Tong’s ear and whispered.

Yi Tong nodded and walked over to Jiang Shuxuan, and Yi Bing was about to go with him before he saw Nozawa and he smirked. “Other than the four locations in America, there was another location that Miss Gu predicted in your country... Mt. Fuji, I believe? Your leader didn’t believe us when we notified him earlier!”

Nozawa’s expression immediately paled considerably, but Yi Bing didn’t explain any further, leaving right after dropping this news.

Cecily tutted and pat Nozawa’s shoulder sympathetically, but her tone was anything but. “Qiao Qiao said that the calamity would be triggered at the same time at all five locations, poor you!”

Upon hearing what Yi Bing said, Cecil looked towards Nozawa in surprise. “Nozawa, how did you people manage to offend Miss Gu?”

At this point, Nozawa’s expression had turned steely and dark as he took out his phone and walked away to call up the leaders of Japan.

America and Japan were too far away from each other, so he couldn’t get back there in time, but he was thankfully quite well respected and revered back in Japan. Even though he didn’t get first place in the ranking battles this time around, he was still quite idolized—Who would blame him for losing against Gu Xiqiao, after all?

“Sis, what’s going on?” Cecil had been in the legacy base for the past few days, so he didn’t know what was happening.

Cecily scoffed lightly. “Those leaders from Japan wanted to pressure the ancient martial arts world into giving up their resources, that’s what!”

“Pfft, they wanted to do that?!” Cecil didn’t know what to think about the idiots that wanted to harm the ancient martial arts world that had both Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan. “Did they think that Miss Gu wouldn’t find out? Did they have a death wish?”

“You would think so too, wouldn’t you? Our respected leader wanted to take part in those plans too!” Cecily shot a withering glare over at the leader of America.

Cecil looked over at the leader too with a frozen expression, sucking in a cold breath as he processed this news. F*ck, their leader was a part of it too?

He felt as if a cold, icy blade missed his neck by a breadth of a hair.

The leader of America: ‘Don’t look at me like that, I’ve already repented...’

Nozawa had already finished his phone call and was walking back as he rubbed his temples, and upon seeing this Cecil spoke sympathetically, “Are your leaders’ heads made of pig brains?”

Nozawa didn’t know how to reply to this, but if he was quite honest, he was inclined to agree.

Yi Tong had already finished talking with Jiang Shuxuan when Yi Bing walked over there, and upon seeing this Yi Tong raised his eyebrows. “Yi Bing, are you trying to collect good karma? Why did you tell him that?”

“Miss Gu told me to tell him.” Yi Bing had already called the leader of Japan before and had been turned away with a cold shoulder, but he still had to carry out what Gu Xiqiao asked him to do dutifully.

“Miss Gu?” Yi Tong squinted slightly, not thinking that Gu Xiqiao did it purely out of the kindness of her heart, being the sly fox that she was. “What’s she planning?”

Yi Bing shrugged. “Who knows? ...Hey, it’s starting.”

Yi Tong looked over in the direction of the zoo where it had already been covered with a blanket of evil aura so thick it was visible, and from the undulating black mass came the animals that had mutated and grown two times larger than they were initially.

The animals stampeded out of the zoo, and there was no question that even the most well-trained soldier would be torn apart in a heartbeat.

Upon seeing this, the leader knew that if they hadn’t believed in Gu Xiqiao, this entire area would have become hell on Earth!

Even if they knew it was coming, they wouldn’t have been able to build such a large barrier to stop them!

Upon thinking of this, his back was covered with cold sweat in fear of what would have happened. If Cecily hadn’t told him to pull out of the plan and apologize immediately, America would be done for!

“Leader, why aren’t you sending anyone to kill those monstrosities?!” Narry’s legs turned into putty as he looked at this hellish scene.

The others that were on the roof all nodded too, trembling in fear. “Yes, leader! What’s going on?!”

Narry and the others were all scared out of their mind by those mutated animals, but no matter how much they pleaded, the leader of America didn’t react in the slightest as he looked over at Gu Xiqiao.

“Leader, have you gone mad?!” Narry and the other onlookers almost pulled out their hair in frustration, and when they looked towards Cecily and Cecil, they realized that the two youngsters seemed to not be worried in the slightest, not reacting in the slightest other than a slight glint of surprise. “Cecily, Cecil, are you two crazy too?!”

Narry felt so horrified at the scene that was unfurling right in front of him that his blood ran cold, but why did none of these people react in the slightest?? Why weren’t Yi Bing and the others doing anything?!

“Do you think you can kill those monsters?” Cecily asked.

Narry was almost hysteric at this point, and he asked, “No, but are you just going to watch? Are you people just going to wait until they break down the barrier and destroy the entire city?!”

“If I remember correctly, wasn’t a certain someone skeptical of this entire operation?” Cecily glanced over at him, her words making him lower his head in shame. “Relax, they’re on their way.”

They? Who did she mean?
