Murim Recurve Chapter 173
Advertisement
Re'Kha purposely wore the dress of the Ju Clan, covering herself from head to toe. She wore a light hood, covering her Tikka jewellery using it. Over that, she sported a hat, one that prevented others from seeing her eyes directly.
It was to prevent the annoying matter where she had to adjust her Tikka jewellery every time she was in the presence of a guard or someone from one of the Elemental Clans. It was all to prevent herself from getting suspected as a foreign race spy.
Though, in times of necessity, she just planned to condense the blue radiance on her hands, for that was the fastest way to prove her identity. Even though the Gaiko, the race that bordered them on their northeast too were able to wield Water Qi, their body statures were massive, even for children.
So, there was absolutely zero chance anyone would even suspect she might be a Gaiko. So, just showing her ability to wield Water Qi was enough. And, that was what Re'Kha planned to roll by in tough situations.
Though, if it seemed like a tricky situation, it hardly took her any time to remove her hat and show her Tikka jewellery. It was only because she wanted to hide it while using her Wind Qi perception did Re'Kha don the current getup.
Her Ju Clan's dress was just an exterior coverup of the armour, Rigid Water she wore underneath. This way, her defence against Elemental Qi attacks had risen up by a notch. If someone slammed a Palm Projection at her, then she could simply tank it by suffering hardly any damage.
After all, the Water Qi output of the armour equalled one unit, which was the same as a Palm Projection. To fully cover it was the reason Re'Kha wore the Ju Clan's dress. It was also to not make others witness the armour. For, she probably was the only one who was wearing it for the time being.

So, in any place she appeared with it, her identity could be linked and all her past actions could be easily traced. As she was planning to investigate her enemies, she wished to give them as little or no clues, if possible, hence, her preparations.
Once she was ready, Re'Kha informed the servant Sii, "I'll be heading out. I'll probably return late during the night."
"Shall I reserve an extra portion for you at dinner, my lady?" Sii said with a mild bow.
"Hmm," After a moment of thought, Re'Kha nodded, "Please do."
Mu'Tua hadn't returned home yet. It seemed she had been busy discussing the details about her with the Clan Head. They were formulating a plan to ensure the Ghost Qi in her eyes wouldn't affect her or make it easy for the Blinded Ghost to possess her.
Re'Kha was grateful to Mu'Tua for all the help she provided. She had first planned to give the Prana Stones as a show of her gratitude. But after Mu'Tua had rejected it, Re'Kha didn't know what to give her.
'I'll think about it later.' Re'Kha mentally sighed as she waved her hands towards the servant Sii, exiting the house as she boarded the cycle rickshaw always stationed in the Clan, "Please drop me at the nearest cycle rickshaw stand."
"That should be easy, my lady." The cycle rickshaw driver nodded with great enthusiasm as he drove the rickshaw and swiftly exited the Mu Clan's residence. He was given a monthly income for his services, one that was greater than his fellow cycle rickshaw driver peers.
Moreover, when he or his family fell sick, they weren't charged by the Mu Clan and were given medicine free of cost. So, he was happy with his job. That's why he was enthusiastic in his greeting and was chirpy throughout the day.

And, his happy state was also something that brought a smile to the Mu Clansmen, alleviating their moods that had become dull thanks to the grimness in the hospital where a lot of patients suffered from a lot of ailments daily.
It was a situation that was preferrable to both of them. The cycle rickshaw soon arrived at the nearest cycle rickshaw stand as the driver got down, motioning for Re'Kha to remain seated. He then ran into the rickshaw stand and hailed one himself, bringing it to the road and positioning it in such a way Re'Kha didn't even have to touch the road with her feet. She climbed from one rickshaw to another.
The new cycle rickshaw driver turned around and asked with a respectable bow, "Where should I head towards, my lady?"
"Head towards the market." Re'Kha nodded with a gentle smile. It was around there that she had planned to start her investigation. After all, the hotel she stayed at first was situated closer to the market.
As the three Sha released by that group of individuals roamed in that area and at how she had zoomed in on their location using her Wind Qi perception, Re'Kha planned to directly head there and locate the people. And, if presented with a choice, interrogate them.
Re'Kha gently nudged the ring, Budding Dew worn on her left. Everything she needed was packed in it, including the elemental darts, and other elemental weapons she had bought back then. The bow and arrows were with Burfuna Ki'Nua, so she couldn't use them.
Moreover, she had zero intentions of using a bow in the city. Darts were sufficient for any ranged attacks. Besides, she could easily track her targets using her Wind Qi perception. After all, she wasn't hindered by the environment like when it rained. Her Wind Qi perception wouldn't be interrupted now.
"It's time I actively confronted the lot of you," Re'Kha muttered as her expression turned serious. Even her posture and breathing turned steady, ready to erupt with her strongest attack instantly.
After travelling for a long time, the cycle rickshaw alighted at the eastern entrance of the market, for that was the closest. She paid him and sent him off, gazing around to look at the flowing crowd of people.
Taking in a deep breath, Re'Kha activated her Wind Qi perception, rapidly increasing its range.
