Xia Yunzi walked alongside Pei ling down the mountain.
This Pei ling was a beautiful cheerful girl, relatively Xia Yunzi's only true acquittance and friend in the Mystic heaven sect.
Together with her likeness for yellow robes, her tiny voice that sounded like bird chirping though still pleasant and her bubbly personality, she had stuck on Xia Yunzi.
Xia Yunzi led a quiet life in the Mystic heaven sect, in hut, unless when Pei ling came, the whole hut became quite nosy.
To be honest Pei ling liked to talk to much, but Xia Yunzi found her endearing, she had a good heart, always visiting, bringing snacks, goosips and any other interesting things.
Over time Xia Yunzi had gotten used to her presence and enjoyed her visits, she was also a confident for Xia Yunzi.
Pei ling spoke a serious of words, which Xia Yunzi didn't quite hear well before moistinig her lips with clear water from a bottle.
Pei ling felt a bit parched so she drank more, it was really draining talking so much, she also knew she could talk a lot, blushing to herself that it was just sometimes.
But she couldn't help herself, and truly it was sometimes, she didn't have much friends and she had a love for gossip and talks but had social communication issues and anxiety.
And among her friends who could be like Xia Yunzi and indulge her much talk.
After a while, Pei ling asked " Sister Yunzi, you're paying a lot, even going as far as to owe a favour, who do you plan to send a message to hmm, tell your sister "
Xia Yunzi smiled at her question and said, " It's a secret ".
.....
In a large beautiful yard, a young male figure with bare upper body could be seen a holding a long sword swinging it with extreme speed.
Beside him a gorgeous young lady was seating on a reclined couch and leisurely feasting on spirit fruits, watching the figure practicing his combat technique akin to a young lady watching an opera.
Zhan Shenwei was practicing the extreme light sword, ever since he had learnt the combat technique during the sect recruitment three months ago he had persistently practiced it together with the other two.
After another round of practice Zhan Shenwei stopped in fatique, feeling a bit lightedness, his body strength was still strong but his spirit qi, the basis of the combat technique was exhausted.
The laying figure seeing he was finished walked up to him, standing quite close in front she brought out an handkerchief from her bossom and used it to wipe his space.
Zhan Shenwei could smell the hint of lady fragrance on the handkerchief, and it was pleasant.
Shang Jing Mei passed him a crystal cup with spirit wine, a bright smile on her face, " You must be thirsty"
" Thank you ", Zhan Shenwei responded with a smile.
At a far side corner stood Mang Jin and some maids.
Mang Jin had a wry smile on his face.
He could have said he didn't like to see such a scene like this, but he had seen it so many times and he was now desensitized.
If one entered this setting and didn't know better one would this young man and his lady was his servant.
Of course his lady beautiful and far prestigious to be servant.
But she was serving him.
Things like this and more had happened over these few months, as far as she was around matters pertaining to Zhan Shenwei she handled personally, no maids served him.
And if he had free days, his lady worked from home.
This and quite more had led to the staff of the mansion to nickname him " husband of the Master ".
The yard was quiet, it wasn't until a knock sounded at the entrance that Zhan Shenwei's attention shifted from the lady in front of him.
" Young Master! "
Seeing it was Ji Ji, Zhan Shenwei walked out the courtyard and asked, " What's the matter "
There's a big mission, I was asked to summon you.
Ji Ji was sort of Zhan Shenwei's liasion, usually when duties were a bit free or he had no active duties, Zhan Shenwei stayed home to cultivate while he had Ji Ji regularly visit the harbor station to keep him abrest on matters.
Today was a free day for Zhan Shenwei, but he still had to report to the station.
One he had to, two only more or big missions could earn him credtis
Although city guards had active duty and free day, they could be summoned by their superior at anytime.
And credits, in these two months had been relatively boring, apart from usual harbor patrol he had not had any interesting encounter, he was nowhere close in gathering credits.
Not even close, he was nowhere.
Zhan Shenwei needed a 100,000 credits and he only had 200, gathered from his basic salary credits in two months.
At this rate....
Zhan Shenwei was preoccupied with with his thoughts as they rushed to the station.
When suddenly Ji Ji said something out of the blue, but trying to sound a bit casual as he spoke.
" Young Master, lady Jing Mei really likes you "
" No not really, she's just a nice friend, employer, and I'm her dao protector, don't misunderstand "
Ji Ji's face twitched at Zhan Shenwei's response, " don't misunderstand", young master you're the only one not understanding.
" She's just a nice friend ", sure she wasn't an evil person alright, but do you see her being so nice to someone else.
" Employer ", " dao protector", look at me you're my employer and I do tasks for you, but literally requires nothing from you, even doing things for you.
As per dao protector, Ji Ji was not much learned on cultivation matters , but he could grasp the protector part.
" Who was protecting who ", were you just so special to her because of this.
The lady had guards and protectors far powerful than Zhan Shenwei, it wasn't that Ji Ji looked down on his Master, quite contrary he looked up to him.
Zhan Shenwei had been good to him and was a great man, but some of the guards he saw in the mansion were really so strong, the feeling of oppression they gave him was so much.
With all these involved it was so reasonable to say she likes you a lot, look at how you're living in the mansion together...
Ji Ji shook his head, he had subtly revealed it to Zhan Shenwei, but he couldn't say or do to much, one it wasn't his place due to status, two it wasn't his place to also involve himself in the relationship between two people.
But to honest lady Jing Mei was very suitable for his young master, although some gossips were very quick to inform him of how his young master was not worthy of the lady, what did they know.
Ji Ji knew they wanted him to inform his young master, but he wouldn't, the young master didn't like idle gossip neither did he care for it.
Ji Ji wasn't also scared of them, anyone with half a brain could see that lady Jing Mei adored Zhan Shenwei, could they have guys to hurt even his servants.
It was really nice to be so handsome, tall and have a beautiful physique.
Ji Ji thought of how his master could have won the lady's heart.
