Aura of Pill saint! 2!

"Pray to tell: did your family adopt a new daughter?" Zhao Fan after a moment of thinking asked.

Hearing this, her pupils suddenly enlarged and her mouth hung open.

But she quickly maintained her composure.

"I don't have a family," She responded nonchalantly, while looking at him.

Who said lairs hate eye contact?

A perfect liar never lies.

But her slightest reaction already told that, she wasn't a perfect liar.

And from the looks of it, her background doesn't seem to bring him any threat because he wishes to cultivate this girl to be his alchemist.

"I see, what a pitiful soul you are... Would you like to follow me?" His tone was devoid of any emotions.

Hearing this, she nodded.

"Um! But I won't be doing night duty..." She stated.

"..."

She is merely 14, how can Zhao Fan expect her to do night duty?

He isn't a fan of diddy.

But this is a cultivation world, you can get married as early as 16 and people grow up too fast.

She has solid curves, despite her age, her chest and hip are big, and given time, they will grow even more, biologically speaking.

This is called the growth phase.

...

"Oh? How interesting... What makes you think, I will make you do night duty," Zhao Fan couldn't help but glance at the moon, while asking her.

"That's simple, your aura, power, and clothing seem to be from a powerful ancient noble family, and such families often cultivate few women as maids and concubines.

You must be interested in me due to my beauty or perhaps my aura of a pill saint or maybe, even both, thus, you wish to cultivate me, which will bring gain to you in the long run,

There is no such thing as free gifts in this world, and I am not opposed to your idea, because, ultimately, I have limited options at hand, furthermore, I was already prepared to be sold to some perverted young master or some sect, or at worse be refined by someone.

Nonetheless, The grace of Young Master brought a new light, and you seem noble yet somewhat not.

Just now, you killed that guy with your own energy, you may not know, but the two guys that came to take me fought against themselves, you must be the one controlling them through greed, in the end, human nature bows to wealth.

I can also conclude that the rest of the group was killed by you because the "night tavern" seems eerily quiet, perhaps waiting for you to leave.

Which further symbolizes that you don't have a protective guardian.

And for a noble child to not have a protective guardian, you and the patriarch must not have a good relationship, must be some family blood ties or whatever, pardon me, if I spoke too much,"

Saying that much, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

"Oh! How interesting," Zhao Fan let out a mysterious smile.

"At your age, you should be playing with friends and gossiping the fun and secrets, growing with the flow of time, yet, you seem so invested in the analysis of family matters, perhaps, you are an experienced one.

You are quick-witted, I have to give it to you, but, anyone with a normal mind can deduce that much.

Is this for the vanity of your ego, making you believe that you are dealing with an equal footing with me?

A self-manipulation thinking everything is going in your favor? If so, you are greatly mistaken.

I like to pull the imaginary flying fish back to the reality of water,

Despite all that, you managed to pique my interest, so, stand proud,"

Zhao Fan said standing right in front of her, his eyes icy chill.

He was genuinely surprised and even thought why didn't he have a guardian?

Isn't he a divine son?

Then again, he was always in seclusion so, perhaps the family never allocated a guardian, or perhaps, that cheap father never cared or forgot.

Being thrown into an unknown world without knowing the plot is really hard.

Good thing, that the father will be sent to the mines within a few days, after that, he can slowly corrupt the women of the family starting with concubine Yue or twin concubines.

As for now, let that bastard enjoy his remaining life.

----

At the same time,

Hearing his words, and looking at his cold eyes, Ling'er didn't back off or was scared.

There was a strange silence.

Swoosh~

The howling of wind could be heard, crystal clear.

"Maybe my intention was properly laid out or perhaps, the young master simply misunderstood me, but, I not once thought of dealing on equal footing as you.

I am simply impressed by your talent and ruthlessness, and understand your position including my own, if you think I said something wrong or bad then, should I kotow three times, right now to make amends?"

After what felt like a long time, she opened her mouth.

The biggest thing in life is to never outshine the master.

She wouldn't mind kotowing three times or even ten times.

Unnecessary pride is meaningless.

"Oh!?" Zhao Fan's lips once again curved.

This girl was definitely interesting.

"No need for that..." Zhao Fan waved his hand dismissively about the matter of kotowing.

"I don't mind a bit of honesty. But remember, don't overstep your worth," His eyes narrowed slightly.

Biting more than one can swallow can potentially lead to unwanted demise.

"I understand," Ling'er nodded, understanding the unspoken rules.

It was an awkward way of knowing each other, but it worked out well.

Then, Zhao Fan took her to the Zhao family residence.

Zhao Family was a huge family with a large area and six mountain peaks.

As the divine son, Zhao Fan owns a peak.

Even his house was large with three stories.

So, accompanying a new person wasn't a problem.

Previously, the manor was filled with lots of maids, but, Zhao Fan sent them away, hoping to cultivate in peace.
