Chapter 121 Women Are Not Simple

Hearing Xiao Yue's words, the constipated look on Liu Xi's face became even more serious.

"Well... it's nothing. You can choose the room on the east or west side. I'm going to rest now. Don't bother me if you don't have anything else."

Just say it.

He took a few big steps, came to the door, and pushed it open.

At the back, in the open-air courtyard, Xiao Yue pursed her delicate lips, stood still, looking at the house where Liu Xi was, and after a few breaths, she walked straight towards a house on the east side of the courtyard.

……

Silent all night.

-

The next day.

Liu Xi climbed up from the couch in a not very good mood.

He yawned and finished washing up in a depressed mood. Just as he was about to walk out of the house, someone knocked on the door from outside.

Hearing the sound, Liu Xi smacked his lips and thought, the door opened at the perfect time.

It’s dawn...

Of course, as a gentleman, he had no other intentions, he just simply meant that the door rang at the perfect time.

In fact, he calmed down and thought for a long time last night. After he came out of the state of "boiling blood", he felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Yue, the little girl, did not really come to offer herself to him. Otherwise, if he could not help himself last night, how could he pretend to be a role model and accept her as his student later?
Compared with temporary pleasure, he personally values ​​the increase of his own lifespan more.

The initial completion reward for "Side Mission 3" is: "He will recruit those who have changed their state of mind due to his words and deeds. For each person he recruits, his life span will be extended by one year."

And after you take this person under your wing, he will start from being a fighter, and every time he advances to a higher realm, he will receive an unknown random reward!

Without even thinking about the random rewards that might come later, the life span that could be extended by one year after taking the person under his wing was enough for him to suppress some of the restless thoughts and desires in his mind.

dong dong dong...

The girl knocked gently a few more times on the door.

inside the house.

Liu Xi hesitated for a while before walking forward to open the door. He did this to create a sense of... ceremony, to set the stage for completing the side quest and bringing Xiao Yue under his wing.

Facts have proved that things that make people wait always make them feel important and solemn in spirit.

However, as soon as the door opened, the girl outside said something that shattered his plan.

"Lord Liu Xi, I may need to go back now. My mother is not in good health, and I have to go back to prepare dinner." Xiao Yue stood outside the house, blinking her big eyes.

"..."

In response, Liu Xi remained silent.

What could he say?
Tell him not to rush back and to become his disciple first?

Becoming a disciple requires an atmosphere.

This is definitely not the right time...

It's impossible to achieve it naturally, but you can't force people to become your disciples, right?
Well, speaking of forcing others to become your apprentice... does the system allow tasks to be completed in this way?

If you admit it...

"Ahem, okay, you can go back. No need to rush. I should be able to make medicine in the morning, so I don't need your service." Liu Xi said with a light cough.

"Yes, thank you Master Liu Xi!"

Xiao Yue thanked her sweetly in the youthful voice of a girl of her age.

When Liu Xi heard the voice, his eyelids twitched, then drooped. He no longer looked at the girl. After waving his hand, he turned back into the house.

……

An hour later, Liu Xi finished his breakfast and burped.

Xiao Yue finally came back quickly and brought him breakfast from the kitchen.

This touched Liu Xi and his impression of her changed. This girl... her emotional intelligence isn't that low?
Of course, what he didn't know was that after Xiao Yue returned home, she found that her mother had calmed down. She originally wanted to stay at home for a while longer, but she was afraid that her mother would become suspicious and ask her questions after seeing her stay at home for a long time, so she chose to come back as soon as the meal was ready.

Because she didn't dare tell her mother that she stayed at Liu Xi's place last night, she only said that she was freezing outside all night.

Therefore, if she stayed at home and did not go out to work, her mother would definitely ask why. She couldn't tell her mother that the alchemist told her not to go out in the morning, right?

By then, her lies will be exposed.

If Liu Xi knew these "details" of her "quickly going and returning", he would definitely sigh: "Sure enough...no woman is simple."

For women, the ability to lie seems to be innate.

As for what level you can reach in the later stage, it depends on your "luck" and "experience" during your growth.

Today's breakfast was served late, and after a while, the Xiao family's top management sent someone to deliver today's share of medicinal herbs.

After getting the herbs, Liu Xi glanced at Xiao Yue, and then told her that if she felt she had nothing to do while he was refining the herbs, she could close the gate and practice breathing and fighting spirit in the yard.

And Xiao Yue also listened to his suggestion. Not long after he went into the house to refine the medicine, she closed the gate, sat cross-legged under the shade of a tree in the middle of the open yard, with her five hearts facing the sky, and began to practice.

After she figured out some things yesterday, she decided to resume her practice which she had neglected for a while.

In fact, she was quite talented. As a member of a side branch of the family with few resources, she had reached the sixth level of fighting spirit at the age of fifteen. However, due to her mother's worsening condition and some other factors, she had to apply to her family for early work before she reached the age of sixteen to supplement the family income.

But later on, as Liu Xi had guessed, because her father was Xiao Qi, some middle-level leaders in the family gave her a lot of trouble at work, and people around her also excluded her.

In the end, she was actually assigned a job that was almost only assigned to the servants of the Xiao family, which was to serve others.

And the person he serves is the rumored scumbag alchemist, Liu Xi!
Fortunately, after she came into contact and communicated with Liu Xi, she found that this person was not as bad as the rumors said.

Her life, which might have been destined, was deviating in trajectory because of this person.

-

Xiao family.

Xiao Mei got up very early today.

She was dressed in a gorgeous red dress and walked with lotus steps through the scattered courtyards and roads of the family's core building complex. Her destination was the family's fighting hall. She planned to stay in the training ground of the fighting hall for some time today to consolidate the fighting skills she had just mastered a few days ago.

However, when she passed by a courtyard next to the core building complex.

But she saw a girl two years younger than her walking out of the courtyard.

She had some impression of this girl. Although she had a good talent, she gave up cultivation and applied to her family for an early job. This was no secret among the younger generation of cultivators in the Xiao family.

She recognized Xiao Yue, but she was standing not far away and did not go forward to greet her. Firstly, there was no intersection between them, and secondly, she thought it was a bit strange that Xiao Yue came out of that villa so early.

She knew that the residences of the collateral descendants were not located in the core area of ​​the building complex.

"I heard that he was assigned a job as a waiter. Could it be here? But isn't this too early?"
