Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 101 Little Maid Xiao Yue

In one night, Liu Xi visited twelve places in total.

In each place, he left a wooden box containing ten thousand gold coins, plus a note. The contents of the notes varied, but there were four words in common: don't show off your wealth.

For an ordinary family of three, dozens of gold coins are enough to ensure that they will have enough food and clothing throughout the year.

It is very easy to earn tens of thousands of gold coins, stop doing menial labor, and live a comfortable life.

However, precisely because the amount of money was too huge for ordinary people, Liu Xi left a note as a warning and admonition.

Otherwise, if these properties were exposed, a good thing would turn into a bad thing for those families.

As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Money can move people's hearts. If someone has evil intentions, those basically ordinary families will not be able to resist the possible disaster.

In a remote corner of the street, Liu Xi returned to his original appearance, with his hands behind his head, strolling in the hazy morning sky.

After getting rid of a "worry", he felt as if his body had become a lot lighter.

He did spend a lot of yellow and white things, but he felt it was worth it as it could bring him a peaceful state of mind.

……

At dawn, Liu Xi returned to the Xiao family, lit the first cigarette of the day, and started smoking.

After finishing a cigarette, he looked up at the first ray of dawn light that was shining between heaven and earth in this new day. Slightly absent-minded, he gently exhaled a breath, feeling less depressed and his mind more open than ever before.

Suddenly, his mind trembled, and in shock, he felt that his soul perception, that is, soul power, had naturally reached the level of a second-grade alchemist.

Surprised, he returned to the villa. He had not slept all night, but he was in surprisingly good spirits. He just wiped his face, washed up, and then took out the pill recipe that the senior executives of the Xiao family handed to him yesterday and started to read it.

After all, he came to the Xiao family as a specially hired alchemist. Every day he needed to refine three or five bottles of medicine according to the recipe, and then hand them over to the Xiao family.

In fact, the pills he refined were only used as a gimmick in the market under the Xiao family to attract attention.

Although the elixir is only of the first grade, only a few people can afford to buy the elixir produced by the alchemist. More people, such as the mainstream people who buy medicines and wound medicines in the market - mercenaries who live on the edge of a knife, usually buy medicines prepared by doctors.

Compared to pills, potions are obviously more affordable.

However, if one really wants to sell pills, the flow of people in the market is so large that three to five bottles a day is far from meeting the demand.

After reading the pill recipe, I found that it listed the ingredients of two first-grade pills.

They are the "Blood Coagulation Powder" which has healing effects, and the "Rejuvenation Pill" which can restore fighting spirit.

The levels of these two kinds of elixirs are relatively lower than those of first-grade elixirs. They are not difficult to refine. It is obvious that the Xiao family has taken his consideration into consideration.

However, such an action inevitably made Liu Xi feel a little looked down upon.

Of course, Liu Xi didn't care too much about this. He was not the kind of person who cared too much about other people's opinions, and there was nothing wrong with having lower requirements for him. He didn't expect to get any kind of compensation from the Xiao family in a month. Wouldn't it be good to relax a little every day?

This would allow him to have more time to figure out how to better complete the system's main mission and earn enough lifespan before heading to Canaan College, so that he could possess the Pure Lotus Demon Fire within the three-month deadline.

Why not?
After sitting quietly in the house for a while, the little maid who had been there yesterday came in with the breakfast prepared for him by the Xiao family's kitchen.

After finishing breakfast at the stone table in the open courtyard, Liu Xi stood up and looked at the little maid bending over to clean up, and asked casually:
"What's your name?"

Unexpectedly, it would have been fine if he didn't communicate with the maid. As soon as he opened his mouth, the maid trembled and was frightened. She thought that Liu Xi suddenly asked her name and he was "interested in sex".

I heard from the sisters that men have particularly strong "reactions" in the early morning...

Seeing this, Liu Xi was speechless. He had more or less guessed what he was thinking. Seeing that he was standing there stupidly and seemed to have no intention of speaking, he asked again.

Under his gaze, the little maid didn't dare to raise her head, her mouth trembled slightly, and after a while she stammered:

"Master Liu...Master Liu Xi, this servant...this servant's name is Xiao Yue..."

"Oh? Your last name is also Xiao? Then why are you doing this kind of servant job?" Liu Xi said with a little surprise, and he was even arranged to serve him... Of course, Liu Xi did not say the latter part of this sentence.

Hearing this, the maid cautiously stole a glance at Liu Xi. Seeing that he did not make any other moves, she calmed down a little and whispered:
"I was born into a branch of the family, and my status in the family was not high. Later, when I was young, my family moved from the imperial capital to Wutan City. It was said that my father made a big mistake in one matter, which not only caused the family to suffer a lot of losses, but also afterwards... Afterwards, he was afraid of the family's punishment, so he abandoned me and my mother and ran away alone. The family was furious..."

"So you took your anger out on you and your mother?" Liu Xi raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that this little maid was actually a person with a story.

Xiao Yue shook her head and said softly:

"At that time, many people in the family wanted to vent their anger on my mother and me, but they were stopped by the clan leader."

Liu Xi curled his lips and said, "But looking at your current situation, I think your clan leader can only stop you for a while, but not forever. After all, it is impossible for him to ask about everything. So over time, you will inevitably be suppressed and excluded. In the end, you will be 'given a hard time' and arranged to serve me..."

As soon as these words came out.

Xiao Yue raised her head and asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, Liu Xi spread his hands, rolled his eyes and said:

"Isn't that hard to guess?"

After he finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and pursed his lips and said, "But I have a question. Judging from your age, you are not yet sixteen years old, not yet an adult. According to the rules of your Xiao family, before you become an adult, no matter if you are a direct descendant or a side branch, you should be in the cultivation stage at this age. After you become an adult, you will be arranged according to your cultivation level. How come you are arranged to do something at such a young age?"

When Xiao Yue heard this, her eyes became evasive, but she realized that she had said too much to Liu Xi, so when faced with Liu Xi's further questions, she did not answer, but just lowered her head and said:

"Sir, please don't ask. These are all internal affairs of our Xiao family."
