The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

Xiang Yang had just finished speaking when the other members of The Dark Division also called out in unison, "Leader, thank you."

Situ Xin could hear the deep sentiment within that "thank you." She nodded slightly, acknowledging their gratitude. At this time, Situ Xin also realized that everyone had heard their conversation. In fact, she had not intended to keep it a secret from the others; if she had wanted to keep it from being heard, then no one would have heard even a single word. "Later, Xiang Yang will distribute the Marrow Cleansing Pills to you, one for each person. Uhm," Situ Xin paused before adding, "Although the reaction to the pill is quite strong, often sending you to the bathroom, its effects are excellent. It will greatly benefit your future practice of Ancient Martial Arts." Situ Xin still explained the side effects of taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, so as to prevent them from mistakenly thinking they had eaten something that upset their stomachs.

Once Xiang Yang and Situ Muli had distributed the Marrow Cleansing Pills, Situ Xin began assigning members of The Dark Division to different types of Ancient Martial Arts based on the information she had obtained using her Divine Sense, and what suited each individual best.

After she had categorized everyone, Situ Xin took out the transcripts of Ancient Martial Arts cultivation techniques from her bag—in reality, from her spatial storage—which she had copied from the jade token in her mind previously. Worried about potential special circumstances, she had deliberately transcribed several different kinds. Fortunately, there were no bizarrely unique types among The Dark Division’s members.

The members of The Dark Division, each holding a Marrow Cleansing Pill and a technique appropriate to them, were visibly excited and eager, almost desperate to start practicing and see the results.

Situ Xin watched the expressions on their faces, taking it all in. Her purpose for this visit to The Dark Division was now fulfilled. With a grand wave of her hand, she announced their dismissal. However, before disbanding, she reminded them, "Before practicing martial arts, you must take the Marrow Cleansing Pill first. Also, when cultivating, let it happen naturally and don’t rush things, or you risk deviation."

After sorting out these matters, Situ Xin prepared to head home, holding Baibai. When she left, she did not take Situ Muli with her; instead, she left him behind.

While Situ Xin had yet to ask Situ Muli about his former organization, she knew that the training he had undergone there was certainly more advanced and extensive than what The Dark Division currently offered. Hence, Situ Xin left Situ Muli to discuss and bond with Xiang Yang.

The training of The Dark Division was handed over to Xiang Yang and Situ Muli by Situ Xin. She only intervened when someone encountered a problem during their practice, to provide proper guidance.

Every morning, Situ Muli would take Situ Xin’s private car to The Dark Division, and he would return in the evening. Sometimes, seeing him get up early to rush there, Situ Xin considered whether to let Situ Muli move to The Dark Division permanently to avoid the daily commute.

But later, after carefully observing Situ Muli’s mood whenever he returned, and sensing no sign of unwillingness but rather a lift in spirits when greeted by the family as if welcoming a family member, "Mu Li is back," she decided against suggesting the move. If he didn’t mind the daily back and forth, then she had no objections.
