"Don't mention it. I'll be on my way then. Elder, junior sister, farewell.

" I said my goodbyes and started moving.

n'Next stop, sword valley. Hopefully.' I muttered to myself.

nThe reason that I am going to go to the sword valley is none other than Yuan Jia, the matriarch.

nWell, If you remember, I was going to report to her about the result of my mission on the ancient sword mark.

nAfter returning to the sect, things kept on happening. Core elder Guo gave me the opportunity of reporting the result of this mission. After that, I found our treasure girl who was about to be 'gifted' to someone who was supposedly my cousin. After that, I tried to reveal the scheme that was on the play and even grandpa Long make an entrance to handle things.

nAs if this many events were not enough for one day, I had to have a training spar with the 'treasure girl'. you might say that this is the normal part of the day and I am on your side on this one, but if it was all that happened, I wouldn't be putting this one on this list.

nAfter the spar, I think I have found the MC. Well, you can never be sure but now that I have marked him as a threat I can be ready for whatever is to come from him.

nNow that I have time, I have to do the first thing that I was about to do when I entered the sect.

nI have to just report this before senior sister Yuan Jia comes to me herself. She coming to fetch me is not as pleasant as you think, she would lecture me to death and to that, I have to say thanks but no thanks.

nDon't get me wrong she is an angel but when she gets in her big sister mode, you are in it for a judgment on your whole life decisions…

nAs I was thinking of the possibility of me getting a lecture, I was closing on the sword valley.

nFor a moment I was intrigued by the idea of using Peeping eye of heaven on the sword valley and check on the swords here but as quickly as it came to me, I throw it out of my mind. Why? Well, for one, I don't have a plan to go blind by the color that this valley would surely emit.

nBut just thinking about it I know with all the treasure swords gathered here, it would be like taking a look at the sun, directly, and when you are on its surface.

nFrom the artifact memories, I know that you can control the level of emitted colors to some extent. If I want to describe it better, it's like when you do a filtered search and set some factors for your desired results. This is a possibility, but for now, I don't have enough control over the artifact to minimize the intensity and the brightness so I have to do a bit of training with it to get the hang of it.

nGetting to the main door of the main hall, I nodded to the guards who cupped their fists to me and entered the building.

nInside the building, I could see the elders going about their meetings and whatnot. Smiling and nodding I greeted the elders who greeted me and moved toward the matriarch chambers. This room is a temporary place for the matriarch to stay in when she is in the main hall and at the end of the day, she would go to her private living place.

nGoing past another level of guards who were most likely for added protection to a young matriarch, I got to her doors.

nKnocking twice I heard Yuan Jia's voice.

n

"Come in.

" She said.

nOpening the door, I got into her room.

n

"You are finally here, Huang.

" She told me with a smile.

n

"Yes, there were some complications when I got in the sect so I couldn't come here sooner…

" I told her with a tired face.

nWhen she heard my words she frowned a little.

n

"I have heard about it. The disturbing point is that we did not get a wind of this operation going on and that means there are some powerful players doing dirty work in this scheme…

" she told me.

n

"I am afraid it is as you think, big sister.

" I nodded at her words.

n

"This was the reason that I used the Mirror of reckoning to get the old man there. With him investigating things, at the very least we can expect that the other party goes to the shadows for a while and there won't be such schemes for a time.

" I told her my estimations.

n

"Well, I too don't think that they would do anything out of desperation now. They must have more cards to play and this was but a childish scheme.

" She acknowledged my words.

n

"That would be a good time for us to prepare for whatever they throw at us.

" I continued

"Although I have no plans at the moment, with more information from the interrogation of elder Zhong, we can come up with something.

"

n

"You are right.

" Yuan Jia nodded to me with a pondering look on her face.

n

"Oh! About the ancient sword mark, I have to say that was a very pleasant experience for me, I have gained more than what I thought I would.

" I told her enthusiastically.

n

"Is that so? I am glad for you.

" She told me with a genuine smile on her face and touched my hand with hers.

nFor now, I would keep the existence of the Peeping eye of heaven a secret. I'm not trying to imitate the MCs who hide their powers and whatnot but this is an artifact that is on the level of seven big artifacts. This is not something that I can show without getting into a war for its ownership.

nIf any of the holy lands hear about its existence, waging a war is the least that could come out of it.

nSo for her sake and mine, I would keep this secret for a while, until I deem it safe to reveal it to big sister.

n

"But alas, now I have to find something really good for you to compensate…

" I faked sadness.

nShe rolled her eyes at my remark.

n

"Anything is fine.

" She told me dismissively.

n

"But let me tell you one thing, you are not allowed to do this kind of stupid thing again. Do you understand?

" she sternly demanded from me.

n

"I promise.

" Well, she is right about my plan to fight an elder being stupid so I have nothing else to say.

n

"Good. For now, go get some rest, tomorrow I will come to see you.

" She nodded.

n

"I understand. Good night.

" I said my goodbyes and walked out of her room.

nGoing back to the sword mountain, I thought about my day.

nWell, for a guy who is transmigrated for only a day I sure had a blast. I got some ** done, beat some **ty character, and have found a possible ally and a possible foe. So yeah, if I have to rate my day it would be 9

/10 and the one point that is missing is just my style. I believe that no matter how good something is, it could be better so there is always room for improvement.

nYou can look at it from the other perspective too. No matter how bad something is, it could be worst.

nIn my past life, when I was at a low point, my dad would always say 'when a pigeon poops on you, thank god that a cow doesn't fly'.

nWith this mentality, you would always think of how to make things better and how they could be worse at the same time. From my point of view, it is a healthy habit for maximizing the results.

nNow let's think about what comes next…
