Chapter 6 : Left Alone

It's been a month since I gave them their manuals. They have been cultivating anytime we are done with our work.

I don't know why but it seems like the Head Chief is a lot more scared at us whenever she passes by. Though, our seniors are just acting normally. They are still throwing their jobs at us.

It's fine by me..It. became a routine for me after all. Also, I think I am liking this, just cleaning the courtyard and stables, and taking care of the fishes.

My two friends seems to be more temperamental since then. Anytime someone tries to say something, they just rebuked them and show some their cultivation powers. It's pretty inefficient just releasing it on the air, though it might be some sort of tradition here so I let them be.

There are other people who are now scared of them, though our masters doesn't seem to notice. Maybe because we are stuck on this courtyard?

Anyway, after we are done taking care of the stables, we go to our rooms to rest. For the two of them, they are going to continue cultivating.

I wonder why they like doing it? Is it really amazing breaking through your limits?

I slept while having those thoughts.

(Bai Lingxin's POV)

It is time to leave this place!

I have become strong. My cultivation level is on the Middle Third Mortal Realm. It is thanks to Master Ming that we managed to achieved this much in just a month.

But I think I am becoming stagnant. Staying here won't give me anything beneficial.

If I have to walk this path, I must go out and see the world!

Me and Minmin have prepared for our travels. Food, money, and some change of clothes. Anything else is unnecessary.

Of course, we also took our manuals. Amongst everything we possess, these books are the most precious one!

I dare say it is a lot more powerful than those heaven shaking artifacts!

We won't let anyone see this. It is the greatest thing we possess. No one will be able to take a peek of it. They will have to step over my dead body if they dare to!

The night has come, and anyone are asleep. We made some last minute preparations.

I turned to master who is sleeping peacefully. She looks so carefree, like nothing troubles her.

We will be leaving you, but I hope you understand in your heart that we are doing this to improve. When we are stronger and have made a name on this world, we will come back and repay everything you've done to us.

Even if Ling Minmin didn't come, I will go here and give you a comfortable life. Master Ming, please wait for me. I hope you are in good health when we were gone. I will come back!

I, Bai Lingxin, will definitely return. I swear upon my ancestors, and the heavens shall be my witness!

(MC's POV)

Early in the morning, I look around and see that I am alone in my room now.

It seems like they really left me alone. I wonder why they did so?

I sense them still awake and are doing something in this room. Then they stayed besides me and seems to be muttering something. They are saying their farewells, if I remember it right?

Is it normal? Leaving their friend on this place?

Now I have to take care of all their work. No one seems to be helping me too.

Well, it's fine. Now that I am alone, I can clean this all without using my mortal body.

It's not like it is a hassle. I just have to use my Normal Household Techniques, and everything will be cleaned in a blink of an eye.

Feeding the fishes? I have a lot of taming techniques!

It is a bit dull doing this alone, but at least the fishes and the horses are still here. I can talk to them whenever I want.

Beast Taming Techniques includes understanding animals. I can do it easily.

So Horse 1, you think they will come back?

Huh? You want more carrots? Why do you like carrots so much?

How about you, Horse 2?

You want to leave your pen? But it is still not your schedule to go out!

The horses are not even answering me. Well, that's fine. Animals are whimsical creatures. You can't use human intelligence to understand them.

After taking care of all the horses on the stables, I left the stables. My plan is to go back to my room, seeing that I am done with all my task.

Though, I was suddenly called out by some of the seniors.

"Hey you!" Looking, I saw a beautiful girl. Though her eyes seems a bit too sharp.

I lowered my head. "What can this servant do to you?"

"Hmph! Aren't you with those rude servants?"

Rude servants? Is she talking about my friends?

When I nodded slowly, she snorts. "Where are they? Did they ditch you and go somewhere?" She seems to be probing me.

"Well, they're gone. I'm the only one left here."

"Oh! So those two are finally gone!" I don't know why but she seems to relieved when I said that. She pointed her sharp gaze at me. "You, take care of the laundry and the dishes! We have something important to do!"

With that, she left without giving me time to respond.

Well, that means I have more things to do. That's preferable. I love doing things!~
