The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

What she witnessed after looking up was Lan with teary eyes, Colinde with impressed eyes and finally Rein with kind eyes. Both Mei and Himiko were expressionless for the most part but still one was able to see a little bit of worry in their eyes. Lu Shi's circumstances were just too bad and the way she was still able to get back up was just amazing.

According to Rein's values Lu Shi's intention for revenge was justified. But still killing off a whole city was way too extreme and Rein wanted to find a different way she would be able to take revenge on the people who were responsible for her hardships.

So Rein spent some alone time with Lu Shi and had a very long conversation with her. He wanted to know more about her and at the same time he wanted her to know more about him, Colinde and Lan too. Rein first calmed her down from her emotional state which was actually a simple thing to do as Lu Shi without a doubt was very nature emotionally.

After that long conversation was over, Rein came out of the room with Lu Shi while holding each other's hands. Both of them had a constructive conversation and now they were best of friends. Lu Shi was going to stop planning the destruction of the city and Rein was going to help her with the process of taking revenge on the other two sects who were now ruling over the city after destroying her life.

...

That day Rein left the city and went back to the Divine Scale Pavillion. Using her intelligence to destroy those sects with scheming was something Lu Shi was fine with. But somewhere in her heart she wanted to become as strong as her father and mother, and wanted to take revenge on those two sects openly while telling the whole world about their wrongdoing.

So Rein gave her the proposal to come with him to the Divine Scale Pavillion and there with Rein's recommendation and her talent Lu Shi would be able to get the full support of the sect. Then she just needed to practice hard on her cultivation and Lu Shi would soon become strong enough to fulfill her dreams with her own hands.

So for the time being she decided to forget about this city and about her revenge. She was going to train very hard in order to become stronger as soon as possible. Then in an opportune time when her strength would be enough, she would strike to fulfill her revenge.

Rein knew this much but he was not aware that after completing her revenge, Lu Shi was planning to devote her life to Rein in every way possible, in order to thank him for the kindness he had shown her.

With that determination in her mind, Lu Shi went to the Divine Scale Pavillion with Rein to start her life anew.

...

Her registration to Divine Scale Pavillion went without any trouble. She was already very talented so the pavilion was happy to accept her as a disciple even without Rein's support. The only thing was that she was a little bit older than the age in which the pavilion normally took their disciples in but that was not really a big deal specially for a talent like Lu Shi.

After that she was given a residence in the inner disciple sector but it was already decided that she was going to live with Rein, so she moved to his spectacular villa which was now getting quite crowded. After her registration was done, Rein and Lu Shi spent the night discussing about various types of cultivation techniques.

It was actually Rein who was trying to inform Lu Shi about some of the interesting ways how skills could be cultivated.

Lu Shi was a very intelligent person and so she was participating in the discussion actively. But on the other hand Colinde was not really good at this kind of thing and everything that Rein and Lu Shi were talking about were going over her head. As for Lan, she was doing her best to keep up with Rein's and Lu Shi's discussion but she was also having a hard time. But at least she was trying.

Just as Rein was explaining to Lu Shi about a new idea he had about cultivation technique, Mei came in the room with an urgent news. An official declaration was just delivered to Rein from the sect and it needed his immediate attention.

Rein was a bit surprised as he had no idea what this declaration was about. So he asked Mei to explain the matter to him. Mei was already given permission to check everything that was delivered to this address, so she had obviously also read this declaration declaration.

Mei then told Rein about the declaration. There was a rule in the sect that once every month one of the low ranking disciples would be able to challenge a higher ranking one. Rein was also no exception to this rule. So it turned out that one of the super confident core disciples had challenged Rein for a duel for his position as a Lead Core disciple.

Rein had to accept this challenge to maintain the prestige of that position.

Rein had not joined the sect for too long so he had not expected that someone would be shameless enough to challenge him, a new disciple. In the eyes of other disciples he was still supposed to be an initial cultivator who had cultivated for just a few months.

Rein then asked Mei more information about the person who was the challenger. Mei was very dedicated to her job so she had definitely gathered some information about this person before coming to inform Rein about this declaration. And Rein's guess was correct and Mei told him all about that core disciple.

That core disciple was named Houski. He was quite talented and was able to reach the Heavenly Platform realm after just three years of cultivation. A high elder of the sect got interested in his talent and took him as his disciple. At that time he also became a core disciple of the sect.

At that time he had thought that he had reached the pinnacle in the sect but then he learnt about the position of lead core disciple. So he immediately tried to take that position. But the position of the Lead Core disciple was too important to the sect and Houski was not qualified to take that position.

After hearing about this Rein understood why he was challenged. This person had thought that Rein would be an easy target and that was the reason why he challenged Rein. Rein then asked when this duel was going to take place and he was told that it would happen in two days. Rein smiled slightly and got ready for this upcoming battle.
