Murim Recurve

All along, using every gap to extend her Wind Qi perception, Re'Kha kept an eye on Ki'Nua. Until now, she didn't sense anything weird on her, feeling confused at this fact.

After all, she had assumed the Sha from Withered Courtyard or the very Withered Courtyard itself had formed a connection with Ki'Nua for a reason. And, the best chance would have been right when she matured, for that was when she obtained all qualifications to become a Harmoniser but hadn't become one yet.

As she was reeling in her confusion, Ki'Nha and Ki'Nua returned. Re'Kha and Ki'Nha made eye contact with each other, heaving a collective sigh of relief.

"Have the items been disposed of by now?" After a moment, Re'Kha spoke, darting a glance at Ki'Nua to see she was in high spirits.

"My husband is looking for some clues in them with his peers." Ki'Nha looked at Ki'Nua, "They hope to find a lead through them that might explain the reason Ki'Nua has been experiencing the same dream."

Ki'Nha then thought about something as she clapped her hand once, "Lady Re'Luk, I have a couple of tickets to the auction that happens tomorrow. Why don't you visit it with Ki'Nua for a change of pace? You haven't explored Burfuna City much right? You can also stay here tonight."

"I don't mean to impose on you that far," Re'Kha waved her hand, unwilling to participate in the auction. For, every ticket cost 250 RuQi, a fortune for most, including the Harmonisers. So, she didn't wish to use something like that.

"Please, I insist. Using what you have pointed out, we plan to make a general sweep of the place," Ki'Nha then whispered towards Re'Kha, "And, I would feel relaxed if Ki'Nua is far away from here during that time. I don't wish for something unexpected to happen while we destroy all objects containing Fear Qi and Ghost Qi. I don't want those two Qi to use her connection to the Withered Courtyard as a catalyst to burrow into her. So, her being as far away from here is for the best."

"Alright, I'll accompany her to the auction tomorrow." Re'Kha nodded, mentally sighing at the fact Ki'Nha was solidly persuasive.

There was a reason she had planned all that; it was to keep Re'Kha close to Ki'Nua. After all, among everyone Ki'Nha knew, only the two of them shared a connection to the Withered Courtyard.

Ki'Nua had been having frequent dreams of the place while Re'Kha had physically visited the place once.

So, in the case something happened to Ki'Nua, Re'Kha too would be involved. And, thanks to her experience, she would be able to help save Ki'Nua in such situations. That was what Ki'Nha was banking upon.

Hence, she proposed Re'Kha stay the night in their house, using the auction as a pretext. This way, Re'Kha would be able to protect Ki'Nua whenever something happens. After all, even though Ki'Nua had matured, it hadn't even been a day since then. So, she wasn't assured something unfortunate wouldn't happen.

"That's great," Ki'Nha cupped her fists at Re'Kha, "Lady Re'Luk, my family will be grateful to you for all the help you've provided us."

"It's fine, we are just helping each other out in times of need," Re'Kha smiled as she waved her hands, making it seem as if she didn't put much weight on the matter. Her focus was to ensure she didn't stir up Ki'Nua too much and frighten her.

After all, Ki'Nua had just become a Harmoniser. There was a lot she had to learn before she developed the mentality necessary to be one.

"Let's see your Palm Projection now." After some time passed, Ki'Nha smiled, lighting up the environment.

"Alright!" Ki'Nua laughed as she entered a position, about to unleash her Palm Projection when Ki'Nha smacked her head, pointing at the outside of the house, motioning for her to launch it there at the designated place.

Apologising once with a wry smile, Ki'Nua exited the house and took up position, taking in a deep breath. Ki'Nha and Re'Kha stood aside, watching Ki'Nua stand before a rock pillar that was situated at a position within the range of twice her height.

That was the range of her Palm Projection. Upon seeing how Ki'Nua was able to adjust it correctly so that the target of her attack was only a finger's width in her attacking range, Ki'Nha smiled, feeling that her daughter had developed the correct battle sense.

After all, the Palm Projection possessed the greatest power at the end of its path. It was the most destructive right before it vanished. Hence, attacking in such a way the targets were barely within the end of their attacking range was the best move a Harmoniser could make to erupt with the greatest force.

Upon seeing how Ki'Nua had positioned herself accordingly on her first try, Ki'Nha felt a bit proud.

Ki'Nua took in a deep breath, focused as she craned her hand backward, faced the palm forward before slamming it forward with all the strength and speed she could muster. All the Water Qi in her body flowed into her hand, exiting through the desired nodes as they were moulded into a shape, exiting rapidly from the pores in her palm.

The blue radiance condensed into the shape of her palm, making an exact replica, including her fingerprint. The condensed blue radiance was shaped into her palm as Ki'Nua slammed it forward.

With the time it took for her hand to move from her body to its maximum stretched position, the palm projection traversed the distance equal to twice her height in the same time, slamming into the rock pillar with force beyond what she could physically erupt with.

An impression of her palm formed on the rock pillar as the material seemed to have been compressed a little. The palm projection was fine, precisely inscribed on the rock pillar as the blue radiance vanished.

Taking in a deep breath, Ki'Nua heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat on her forehead, watching her palm imprint positioned right next to similar-looking palm imprints.
