The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 217 Space Ingredients (1)_1

Situ Xin listened to Baibai’s words before releasing Baibai, and she herself picked up her noodles and continued eating.

After finishing her noodles and pastries, Situ Xin wanted to go soak in the hot springs, but then she thought that it probably wasn’t good for her body to go to the hot springs right after eating. Instead, she decided to cultivate, to digest the food in her stomach. However, before she went to cultivate, she reminded Baibai, "Baibai, while I’m cultivating, keep an eye out for any disturbances outside."

Although Situ Xin was quite confident in the Formation she had set up, she still thought it best to be cautious, just in case.

"Master, I understand. Rest assured and go cultivate," Baibai completely supported Situ Xin’s decision to cultivate. Having been lonely for a thousand years, Baibai now finally had a master and someone to accompany it. Deep down, Baibai was keenly hoping for Situ Xin to succeed in her cultivation and to achieve immortality.

After Situ Xin went to cultivate, Baibai didn’t dare to be negligent at all and kept a vigilant watch for any signs of trouble outside. It didn’t want to mess up the task its master had given it.

In the first half of the night, there was not the slightest disturbance outside. But after midnight, around one o’clock, Baibai sensed that the Formation laid out by Situ Xin had been triggered. To be precise, the Formation had been activated.

This Formation only activated when someone entered it, which meant that, in the dead of night, someone had come.

Because Situ Xin had only instructed Baibai to watch for disturbances outside and hadn’t told it what to do about the person causing the disturbances, Baibai immediately teleported to where Situ Xin was cultivating upon discovering the activation of the Formation.

As soon as Baibai drew near, Situ Xin detected its presence. "Baibai, do we have a visitor?" In her voice was an undertone of excitement.

Situ Xin was indeed excited; she had only tested the Formation with Liu Yuxiang before and hadn’t found a suitable person to test it on since. Now that someone had stumbled in to become a test subject, how could she not be happy?

"Let’s go see who has the guts to break into my Formation," Situ Xin said as she teleported out of the space with Baibai.

The Formation that Situ Xin had laid out this time was more complicated than the one she had placed at Liu Yuxiang’s doorway last time. In this maze of a Formation, she had added elements of an illusionary Formation. So, when Situ Xin appeared in front of the living room’s large glass window holding Baibai, the intruder was curled up on the ground, holding his head in agony.

He was constantly shouting, "No, no, I don’t want it." Then he would cry out, "Xiao Sixth, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to."

It was a good thing that Situ Xin had added a Soundproof Talisman in advance; otherwise, the noise in the living room would have woken up everyone else in the house a long time ago.

Standing to one side with Baibai in arms, Situ Xin watched as the intruder was tormented by his own pain. After hearing his words, she realized what kind of anguish was tormenting him.

The training and selection process of this underground organization was even stricter and more terrifying than the one where Situ Xin had been in her previous life. They generally abided by the principle of survival of the fittest, as well as the belief that only the strong survive. That meant, only two or three people left standing at the end out of a group would be allowed to survive and join the organization.

Although Situ Xin was cold-blooded, she still felt a twinge of pity for such people in her heart. The intruder before her even more so evoked that slight sense of pity. Seeing the man before her tormented by his past to the point of a living death, Situ Xin thought to herself that this man’s conscience was not yet extinguished. Therefore, she sighed and decided to give the man a hand.

Situ Xin took out the Silver Needles she always carried with her and targeted the man’s acupoints, shooting them out. Once the needles pierced the man’s body, the intruder, who had been in agony and curled up, relaxed and lay limply on the floor.

Because the man had been holding his head in pain, Situ Xin hadn’t been able to get a clear look at the intruder’s face. Now that the man lay on his side on the floor, she got a good look at him.

The intruder was a handsome young man in his twenties with the looks of a classic pretty boy. Looking at the man’s face, Situ Xin thought to herself, "In twenty years or so, this would surely incite screams from countless women." She wondered whether it was because they were in Xiangjiang, an area with many Chinese residents, or because the target this time was a Chinese person, that those sent were all Chinese.

After seeing that the young man had lost consciousness, Situ Xin closed the Formation and then, still holding Baibai, approached the young man. Crouching down a step away from him, she reached out to take his wrist, channeling a bit of her Spiritual Energy into the young man’s body to slowly check his condition.

When the Spiritual Energy reached the young man’s brain, Situ Xin frowned. "Hmm, how come this is here already?" To her surprise, she found a chip-like object in the man’s brain. She added a bit more Spiritual Energy to meticulously examine the chip.

This chip was much more primitive than those from Situ Xin’s previous life, but what puzzled her was that according to the data she had seen in her previous life, those underground organizations controlled their underlings with specific types of poison. It required taking an antidote before each monthly bout to avoid suffering.

The chip, however, had become prevalent only after technology had advanced. "Hmm, could it be that the information from my previous life was incomplete?" Situ Xin murmured softly to herself. But this tiny chip had caught Situ Xin’s attention; she thought, "If the underground organizations at this time are all using this to control their subordinates, that’s one thing. But if it’s just this one organization, then their strength shouldn’t be underestimated. This definitely requires attention."

With this in mind, Situ Xin had more or less formulated a plan in her heart. Now what she needed to do was to remove the chip from the young man’s brain.

Removing the chip from the young man’s brain would’ve been difficult, or even impossible, for the Situ Xin of her previous life, or for the brain specialists of that time. But for the current Situ Xin, it was a simple task. She first took out an elixir from her space and fed it to the young man; this elixir had the effect of protecting the brain.
