"Yes, Master Lin." Yue Xin said and walked away to sit on her bed.

Yue Jie, who was beside Yue Xin sitting on her own bed, stared at Yue Xin.

"Master Lin has been more than kind to us. You better don't give him any trouble." She said to Yue Xin with a stern tone.

They were daughters of a criminal, punished to be slaves.

And yet, they were now leading a better life than most of the population in Da Qian.

Many had to work hard for scraps while they were able to have three meals per day and a kind master who treated them fairly and well.

There was nothing more she could have asked for from Lin Xuan Qi.

Yue Jie glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi and said, "Thanks for saving our lives, Master Lin."

She took a deep bow at him.

Yue Jie had forgotten that she wasn't done changing and her blouse wasn't tightened up completely.

Lin Xuan Qi nodded but couldn't stop himself from glancing at the deep cleavage she had, exposed by the loose blouse.

Seems like a bucket of well water wasn't enough, he thought as he quickly moved his gaze away.

His eyes stopped at Yue Xin, who was looking down at her chest, and she froze when she saw his eyes on her.

She couldn't understand what he was looking at and so she checked on her own body, and somehow, his eyes were on her the next moment.

He looked away at the door and said, "If both of you are fine, I shall leave for now. Have a good rest for the following few days."

Lin Xuan Qi walked towards the door.

"Yes, Master Lin." Both Yue Jie and Yue Xin said in unison.

After he got out of the room, he ran towards the well again.

Yue Xin glanced at Yue Jie, and she slowly lowered her gaze.

She saw the voluptuous figure of Yue Jie and looked down at her own.

Yue Xin sulked and thought that it was unfair that Yue Jie had such a figure compared to her, when they were sisters.

Something must have gone wrong somewhere, she mumbled to herself.

"Sister, how did you..." She pointed at the breast of Yue Jie and before she could finish her sentence, Yue Jie threw her blanket at her.

...

Nightfall.

Lin Xuan Qi was in his room practicing his Cloud-Stride Steps.

It had proven to be useful in his battle with the assailants in the factory, and he wasn't about to stop doing it.

As he did so, he started to think about the gulf of difference between the martial arts fighters and the cultivators.

Zhu Di was able to hurt Liu Shi Shi so badly, which was a surprise to him.

Lee He Song had said that Liu Shi Shi was one of the most talented martial arts fighters he had known.

And the Restoration Pill from Sima Ye was something else.

It was like magic to him.

He imagined that there would be more powerful pills, artifacts, and techniques in the cultivation world.

If only he could be one of them...

Lin Xuan Qi stood and gave out a long breath.

White mist rose from his warm body after his practice of the Cloud-Stride Steps.

He glanced over and saw that the bathtub was empty.

"Oh right..." He mumbled to himself.

Life was easy for him with Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin serving him.

But it seems like, for the next few days, he will have to revert to his independence mode.

He went to the firewood shed and carried some of the firewood to the kitchen.

And then he fetched the water from the well to the kitchen.

After which he started a fire to boil the water.

When the water boiled, he transferred it to his bathtub in his room.

"Ouch." He gave out a cry after he dipped his finger into the bathtub to test the temperature.

It was too hot.

Now, he had to add more cold water from the well to cool it down.

This made him appreciate the work that Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin had been doing all along.

When he was finally done making the temperature of the water optimal for a bath, he dipped himself into the water.

He used the soap he made to clean his body and the aroma of jasmine from the soap made him feel refreshed.

As he laid his head to the back, he summoned the system's information panel.

Words started appearing in his mind.

[Current Status: 9 personnel in the clan.]

[Daily Rice Delivery: 90KG.]

[Choose person in mansion to see summary of their day:]

[1. Xue Cong.]

[2. Yue Jie.]

[3. Yue Xin.]

[4. Lee He Song.]

[5. Liu Shi Shi.]

[6. Zhi Yong.]

...

Lin Xuan Qi thought about the name 'Zhi Yong' silently in his mind.

More words started appearing.

[Summary of Zhi Yong's day.]

[Zhi Yong thought about how he could help in the mansion every waking hour.]

[He would work for you without resting if you ordered him to do so.]

[Zhi Yong had never been treated like a person by anyone except you, so he had made sure that you will be happy with his work.]

[It would be devastating for him if you drove him out of the mansion due to him being slow.]

[He was sorry that he couldn't stop Zhu Di from hurting the girls and destroying the main hall.]

[He knew that you would be sad if anything happened to the girls and the main hall.]

[Zhi Yong was still saying sorry to you a moment ago.]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Respect: 99]

[Gratitude: 100]

Lin Xuan Qi was glad to see that his loyalty and gratitude were full at a hundred.

He would feel safe to let Zhi Yong handle more secretive stuff when he gets to try out new inventions.

When he was done with his bath, he poured the water away and went to sleep immediately.

It was going to be a long day for him the next day.
