why are you back already ???

The next day Lua Shi woke up to someone barging in his room a woman looking around her mid-forty Walk her black hair tied up in a ponytail her purple eyes shimmering yet sharp under her glasses, she wore a purple robe with silver embroidery looking every bit like the head maid of the house

'This must be the head maid Qi Sheng talked about I'm sure her name is Shi mi she wasn't mentioned much just the name and that she was the head maid' Lua Shi thought In a daze

Shi mi: get up lord Lua here for your studies

She said while dragging Lua Shi out of bed to get him dressed

Shi mi: it's time to start we will have a long day today

She said while dressing Lua Shi as soon as she was done dragged him to the study room

Lua Shi: ....

'I have to get this woman on my side so I won't have any trouble with her in the future'

They reach the study room and Lua Shi took a sit and Shi mi talk about the schedule for the day

Shi mi: today we will be talking about politics, management and before the end of the class we will go around the territory

'That's great if I can know the territory well then maybe I could run away on my own if plan A doesn't work' Lua Shi thought joyously

Shi mi: let's begin now do you know what political status does lord Qi Sheng have of course you do your literally his wife

She sighs as if she just said the most unbelievable thing on earth

'Wait yeah I do not know his status I didn't pay attention to political relates in the book just the romance and cultivation'

Seeing Lua Shi conflicted expression Shi mi couldn't help but smile in understanding she to use to forget things even though they were important, so she felt relatable to this forgetful person In front of her

Shi mi: he is the duke of the empire also the illegitimate child of the emperor

She came closer and said in a quiet tone : lord Qi Sheng also has a feud with the second prince Qi lingge

Hearing that name Lua Shi's was a bit surprised 'that was the name of the ml of the story At that moment Lua Shi understood a little bit why the ml and Qi Sheng also fought and tried to kill each other they were fighting for the throne'

Shi mi got back to teaching about other things but Lua Shi wasn't really listen think

'Why didn't I read the book better now I don't know A lot of political thing and that is a bad sign of I have ever seen one'

Shi mi: it's time to go through the territory to get you family with it are you ready lord Lua

Lua was brought back to reality and got up quickly

Lua shi: yes!

They got going walking out of the territory as they walk Shi mi showed him places as they discuss the current situation of the territory

Bang!!

 Someone bumped into the while running away from a group of men as the men ran straight to them Lua Shi quickly understood the situation and quickly covered the person with his clothes and hided him the group of people didn't see him and walk past them

Shi mi quickly dragged Lua Shi and the person away into an alleyway, so they wouldn't be found and took the person put to get a good look at the person

Shi mi: it's a kid?!

The child look like fourteen to fifteen years old boy with long black hair, black eyes and his skin was as pale as a ghost but he was as tiny as a stick looking like he hadn't eaten for over a year

'He has quite the charming appearance if you removed the fact that he is clear malnourished

Lua Shi thought to himself as he dusts the dirt off his face with a Hanky Shi mi quietly watching in approval on the side lines with a smile'

'What are you smiling for it's giving me the creeps' Lua Shi thought to himself before turning back to the boy

Lua Shi: what is your name?

The boy quickly answer : yin fang

Hearing that name Lua Shi almost fainted on the spot again

Why do I keep meeting villains

he cried internally

" yin fang is the minor villain who grew up in the slum and clawed his way up from the bottom only to become obsessive with the MC who was twice his age at the time and die at the hands of Qi Sheng in the middle of the story"

 Lua Shi explained to himself

"It's better if I just leave him in an adoption center.... Wait do they even have any of those here"

Just when he was about to say something Shi mi spoke first

Shi mi: do you have a home or a family

'Girl obv**iously he doesn't if he did then they most have abused him until he needed two years of therapy'

Lua Shi pat yin fang's head and said to Shi mi

Lua Shi: do they have an adoption center here

Shi mi: adoption what I don't think there are any sorts of adoption center in this territory lord Lua

She answered Solemnly

Lua Shi: .....ah.

Lua Shi turn to yin fang with a conflicted expression

'This poor kid I know he will rise to power or whatever in a few years but still… ….'

Lua Shi: mistress Shi can I take this boy as my assistant

Yin fang's eyes shined as if seeing and the little light of an exit in a dark tunnel

Shi mi: okay

Lua Shi: .....

Yin fang: ......

'That is it, okay?'

Lua Shi: okay then we'll be taking him is that fine with you?

Shi mi: it's your choice anyway even if he betrays you in the future it's still your choice.

'Well that's quite the dark thing to say'

As they talk they walked back to the manor as soon as they got there Shi mi quietly disappears leaving Lua Shi and yin fang alone

'Ah I guess she is a cultivator too huh they are so many in this manor, so I shouldn't be surprised'

Yin fang: where did miss go?

'Ah this is a good opportunity to get him interested in cultivation I was planning on making him one anyway'

Lua Shi: miss Shi is a cultivator, cultivators are people with something along the lines of supernatural ability hey are you interested in it

Yin fang's eyes sparkled like a child see ice cream for the first time and say with nervous anticipation

Yin fang: is it possible for me to learn it?

Lua Shi answer quickly: yes!

Yin fang smiled mildly, as they walk they reach Lua Shi's manor and Lua Shi quickly called on his personal maid

Lua Shi: Mao Ming!

As he calls a girl with long brown hair blue eyes pale skin with a smile as sweet as sugar and a plan but slim dress that showed of her figure walked in and bowed solemnly to Lua Shi

Mao Ming: greetings lord lua shi

Lua shi introduction them: this is yin fang he will be my assistant and this is Mao Ming she is my personal maid

Mao Ming smiled at yin fang and reached out her hand to great him, but yin fang said nervously

Yin fang: m-my hands are dirty!

Mao Ming giggled and redraw her hand, as Lua Shi looked down at yin fang he noticed that his ears were bright red

'Ah young love he-he...wait! Isn't he supposed to be in love with the MC... Oh, well I'm actually doing him a favor I mean now she has one obsessive person to not worry about.'

Lua Shi: take him and clean him up

He said while pushing him to her. Mao Ming smiled as he took his hand and then turned to Lua Shi urgently

Mao Ming: lord Lua lord Qi is waiting for you in the garden you need to get ready quickly

Hearing that name it was as if All life was dragged out of him as his said with great pain : okay

Lua Shi went to get ready on his own, and it took 30 minutes

'Damn it's so hard to put these on, and it's super hot too'

 he walk out wearing a long white robe with blue cloud shape embroidery looking like he was just in his room relaxing but although casual it also gave of a cloudy elegance

As he walks towards the garden he could see a handsome figure out in the distance his long brown hair loose his green eyes reflecting the grass his figure bold and elegant wearing a blood-red rob with golden embroidery looking even more elegant

But the was another figure standing next to him his black hair and black eye clashing deathly with the white and flowering surroundings he wore a purple robe with light purple embroidery

It was obviously Qi Sheng a Jain Lao Lua Shi walk up to them and bowed solemnly and the walked to a garden table as the sit face to face

Qi Sheng: I'll get right to the point I'll be leaving for 6 months straight

Lua Shi was taken aback

Lua Shi: huh?

Qi Sheng: there are some bandits coursing trouble near here, and I'll be taking care of them

'Really really really yay all my troubles are gone he-he stay calm calm' Lou shi tried not to grin to the point his teeth hurt but it seems Qi Sheng could tell just from the energy surroundings him

Qi Sheng: is my wife so happy for me to go that you are realising happy energy all around him

Lua Shi shivered at the word my wife and swallowed hard just to keep from crying in cringe

Lua Shi: no I'm just so happy to see your handsome face again

Lua Shi came closer to Qi Sheng and said barely able to vomit at what he is saying

Lua shi: so when are you going to please me huh?

......................

An over whelming silence stretch out as everyone in that place shivered even Jain Lao

Jain Lao: cough cough

'I get it stop coughing already' Lua Shi thought in spit looking at Jain Lao and retreated as he spoke: I'll like some cultivation elixir for my new assistant

Hearing him change the subject Qi Sheng raised an eyebrow as if saying weren't you the one who started the convo, but he didn't stay on it and clapped his hand and in the next second Jain Lao took out a bag and put it on the table as if prepare

Lua Shi: aren't you going to ask me about it

Qi Sheng: not at all

Lua Shi was relieved that he didn't ask questions

Qi Sheng: also when I come back we will be going to the capital

Lua Shi honestly expected this mostly because of all the historical romance he has seen and it also happened in the book but was a bit nervous because this is also the event in the book were Qi sheng met the protagonist and so he nodded and getting up to leave

Qi Sheng: Lua Shi.

Lua shi: yes

Qi Sheng the dress suits you very much

Lua Shi smiled slightly : thank you.

the next day Qi sheng left before dawn and Lua shi heard of this as soon as he woke up but couldn't do anything.
