Chapter 266: You Successfully Attracted Their Attention

Actually, Yu Xian was just joking. Hua Wuchang’s affairs naturally needed Hua Wuchang to handle them himself; if the elders truly needed to step in, they would address it then.

Now that Yao Yue followed him, she naturally would no longer restrict Hua Wuchang from marrying and having children.

“Return to Yihua Palace. Manage Yihua Palace well. Next time your two Masters return, absolutely do not let any mishaps occur,” Yu Xian said to Hua Wuchang again.

“Mm, I was already planning to return after this matter concludes.” Hua Wuchang nodded.

“Young Master, Young Master, you were so cool just now!” Little Fish hopped over to Yu Xian, his eyes shining with stars as he looked up at him.

When Yu Xian crushed all the mechanisms inside the Death Tower with a single stomp, Little Fish already admired him greatly. After what just happened—slitting everyone’s throats in the blink of an eye—Little Fish had already regarded Yu Xian as his lifelong idol.

“Little Fish, what are your plans next?” Yu Xian asked Little Fish.

“Me? Naturally, I’ll stay by the Young Master’s side and await his command. Didn’t I say it? As long as the Young Master helps save people, I will obey the Young Master’s orders from now on.” Little Fish patted his chest, indicating he was a very trustworthy person who took his promises seriously!

“Bringing you along would be a burden to me,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

“Ah?” Little Fish considered himself quite smart, but his Martial Arts skills couldn’t even compare to the tip of Yu Xian’s toes.

Little Fish was struck by this realization.

“Your Martial Arts are too poor. Go to Manduo Manor. Go find Elder Xiao to learn Martial Arts and obey Elder Xiao’s instructions. Here is a Great Returning Pill; consider it your initiation gift.” Yu Xian still took out a Great Returning Pill and handed it to Little Fish.

Little Fish’s eyes instantly lit up again. “Then am I considered your Disciple too?”

“Depends on your performance. Right now, you are only a Named Disciple.”

“A Named Disciple is still a Disciple!”

“If you say so.”

“Then, Master, I can’t stay by your side?” Little Fish, having witnessed Yu Xian’s Martial Arts, wished to learn Yu Xian’s Lightness Skill.

“Go to Manduo Manor, and then choose the Martial Arts you like there. The next time I return, if you have made progress, I can agree to accept you as an official Disciple, and you can learn whatever Martial Arts you wish.” Yu Xian saw through Little Fish’s thoughts.

Since Yu Xian had said so, Little Fish knew he couldn’t force the issue. Listening to Yu Xian, it seemed Manduo Manor had many Martial Arts for him to choose from? This piqued Little Fish’s interest.

When he left Eren Valley, his initial goal was to find his origins and his relatives. Now, not only had he found them, but he had also taken revenge and helped Tie Xinlan rescue her father. Currently, there was nothing else pressing, so it was indeed time to improve his cultivation!

“Alright, I will wait for Master at Manduo Manor!” Once Little Fish made up his mind, he bowed respectfully to Yu Xian.

Thus, Yu Xian did not linger any longer but turned and headed toward Mount Tian. However, the moment he vanished from everyone’s sight, he returned directly to the Small World.

Although he planned to go to Lingjiu Palace, there was no need to rush. He intended to return to the Small World to spend a few days with The Women before setting off.

This time, Yu Xian brought A Bi along. Since A Bi had followed him, she had always considered herself a subordinate, serving everyone in the Small World. Yu Xian felt quite sorry for her.

Fortunately, most things in the Small World were done by The Women themselves, so there wasn’t much for her to serve.

However, this time, Yu Xian decided to reward A Bi properly, so he took her out alone.

“Young Master, just… just taking A Bi out, won’t the Ladies be unhappy? Actually, Young Master, there’s no need for this. A Bi is happy every day.” A Bi knew the meaning behind Yu Xian taking her out separately.

To be honest, she was delighted, but she couldn’t help but worry a little. Although she was a maid in the Small World, she was happy every day. She had everything The Ladies had, and The Ladies never forgot her. The Young Master also never neglected her; she was already quite content.

Now that Yu Xian was taking her out, it made her feel a bit uneasy.

“The Young Master knows. The Young Master just wants to take A Bi out for a trip. Is A Bi unwilling to accompany the Young Master?” Yu Xian asked with a feigned look of distress.

“No, no, A Bi is very happy.” A Bi shyly lowered her head, a blush rising on her face.

“As long as you’re happy. On this journey, A Bi must accompany the Young Master well,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

A Zhu and A Bi were both raised as maids from childhood, instilling a sense of inferiority deep in their bones. Therefore, for Yu Xian to make them fully accept his affection for them, he still needed to maintain the posture of a Master.

“Mm-hmm.” A Bi quickly nodded; she was an obedient maid.

For the journey ahead, A Bi served outside during the day and returned to the Small World to rest with him at night. A Bi was very happy; along the way, Yu Xian took her sight-seeing, enjoying themselves immensely.

One day, Yu Xian and A Bi were meandering along the official road on a single horse, still quite a distance from Lingjiu Palace. Suddenly, a group of people rushed out from both sides ahead. They were clearly Mountain Bandits. Yu Xian felt speechless—why were there Mountain Bandits everywhere he went? He felt an itch to raid a bandit lair again.

However, those Mountain Bandits didn’t seem to be targeting them.

Could it be they looked down on him? They weren’t even coming to rob him! He was very wealthy!

As it turned out, the Mountain Bandits didn’t even glance at them but instead intercepted a carriage approaching them.

The driver of the carriage was a tall man with a rugged face. Upon seeing the interception ahead, he stopped the carriage, but there wasn’t a trace of fear on his face, clearly feeling secure.

Yu Xian and A Bi watched the scene with interest.

“Young Master, I thought they were going to rob us, but they aren’t. But that carriage ahead looks very plain. I feel like we are richer than the people inside the carriage, so why aren’t they robbing us?” A Bi asked Yu Xian curiously.

Yu Xian shrugged. “The Young Master also wants to know. Do they look down on us?”

“Pfft,” A Bi couldn’t help but laugh. “Young Master, you sure know how to joke.”

With this laugh, before the men blocking the road could confront the people in the carriage, their gazes all snapped to Yu Xian and A Bi.

“Congratulations, A Bi, you successfully attracted their attention!” Yu Xian said with a smile.

A Bi only then reacted. She playfully stuck her tongue out at Yu Xian; she hadn’t done it on purpose, but she just couldn’t help herself.

However, attracting attention was fine; she wasn’t afraid. She knew clearly that Yu Xian would not let her suffer any harm. Moreover, these Mountain Bandits didn’t even take her into account.

Although her Martial Arts were the lowest among those in the Small World, that was only in comparison to the others in the Small World. Outside in the larger world, she already possessed First-Class skill level, while these Mountain Bandits looked like they were only Second or Third-Class at best.
