The next morning, a gentle knocking sound woke Tang Tian from his sleep.

"Who is it?"

Yawning, Tang Tian got up and opened the door.

A petite girl, who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, stood awkwardly outside the door.

"Hmm?"

"Who are you looking for?"

Tang Tian asked.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Excuse me, are you... Young Master Tang Tian?"

"I was sent by Elder Zhongyang, I am your bodyguard..."

After speaking, a blush appeared on the girl's face.

Tang Tian was taken aback, then looked at her attire. The cuffs of her white robe were embroidered with three golden borders, shining brightly.

She really is a core disciple!

Is she the bodyguard chosen by Zhongyang for me?

Looking at the girl's slightly blushing cheeks and shy appearance, Tang Tian seriously doubted that Zhongyang had misunderstood something.

This obedientness that I wanted, she's really not like that at all!

"What is your name?"

Tang Tian asked.

The girl nodded and quickly said, "My name is Gu Xiaoxue."

"I will definitely protect you well, please take care, Young Master!"

Tang Tian was speechless. This girl seemed like a novice and not very clever, like the kind of simple-minded person who would count money for others even after being sold.

"Call me Young Tang."

"Come in and have a seat."

Well, since she's here, I might as well accept it. Regardless, those three golden borders on her cuffs can't be faked.

Her strength should be fine.

If it really doesn't work out, I can always ask Zhongyang to find someone else.

The two entered the small stone house, and Gu Xiaoxue stood in the middle, looking curiously at everything inside, seemingly very surprised.

Tang Tian returned to the bed, tidying up the bedding while asking, "Is this your first time being someone's bodyguard?"

Gu Xiaoxue was surprised, "How did you know?"

"I need a lot of spirit jade for my cultivation now, and the money provided by the sect is not enough."

"Then Elder Zhongyang said that being a bodyguard can earn a lot of spirit jade, so I signed up."

"You can even guess that?"

Tang Tian shrugged. It was obvious.

I can tell at a glance.

After tidying up the bed, Tang Tian walked to the window and prepared to clean up the wooden table that he had broken last night.

It was his habit. Even though he was about to leave, he still had to clean up the place where he had been.

"Do you know what bodyguards have to do?"

Tang Tian asked again.

"I know!"

Gu Xiaoxue said, "I have memorized all the rules for being a bodyguard, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my duties!"

After speaking, she saw Tang Tian tidying up the table and chairs, and quickly ran over to help.

Tang Tian chuckled, "I don't think that's in the rules for being a bodyguard, right?"

Gu Xiaoxue looked a little embarrassed and said, "It's a habit."

"When I used to live at home, I used to do these things."

Tang Tian fell silent.

It seems that she is definitely not the kind of pampered little princess from a big family.

Well, most little princesses wouldn't become someone's bodyguard for spirit jade.

Putting the table and chairs in the corner, Tang Tian stood up straight and found that Gu Xiaoxue was staring at the cracked table, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Tian asked.

Gu Xiaoxue reached out and touched the broken part of the wooden table, then turned her head and said, "What a powerful sword technique."

"Did you do this?"

Tang Tian paused for a moment, feeling that there was no need to hide it, so he nodded, "Yes, I cut the table."

"Would you like to spar with me another day?"

Gu Xiaoxue immediately became excited, "Sure!"

"I haven't practiced this basic sword technique for a long time, and I really miss the time when I used to play!"

Tang Tian: ???

Basic sword technique?

Playing?

I thought that with this perfected Gale Sword Technique, it would make the little girl admire me a bit.

But it turns out she just sees it as a game?

How strong are you?

Tang Tian felt a little dissatisfied and asked, "What is your cultivation level?"

Gu Xiaoxue blinked her eyes and said, "Gold Core later stage."

Tang Tian: ...

"How old are you?"

Gu Xiaoxue pouted, "I'm already fifteen."

"I started late and missed the best cultivation time, otherwise I would definitely have made further progress."

Tang Tian's eye twitched.

Fifteen years old, Gold Core later stage, and still very dissatisfied with herself.

Is there really someone so narcissistic?

Looking at Gu Xiaoxue's clear eyes, Tang Tian suddenly understood that she wasn't really being narcissistic, but her understanding of certain things was just greatly distorted.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Tian continued to ask, "How many talent rings do you have?"

He wanted to know what kind of talent could produce such a little monster.

A look of confusion appeared on Gu Xiaoxue's face, "What are talent rings?"

"I don't have any talent rings."

Tang Tian was speechless once again.

No talent rings, doesn't that mean she's just an ordinary person? How could an ordinary person achieve the Gold Core later stage at fifteen?

How is that possible?

Suddenly, Tang Tian thought of another possibility.

Talent rings are indeed the standard for evaluating a cultivator's talent, with nine rings being the highest.

But above the nine rings, there are even more extraordinary existences.

And those existences would not reveal their talent rings!

Tang Tian looked at the system and focused his gaze on the list of talents.

Innate Child: 10 billion consumption points.

That's ten trillion spirit jade!

Starting with a lead of ten trillion, how can others play?

Is this the world of geniuses?

Tang Tian rubbed his temples hard. The gap between people was really too big. Some people spend their whole lives and still can't reach the starting point of someone like Gu Xiaoxue.

"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Xiaoxue asked.

Tang Tian waved his hand, "It's nothing, I just need to take a break."

"You can help me tidy up the rest of the room."

Gu Xiaoxue nodded, "Okay."

Then she started to busy herself.

Watching someone who is at least an Innate Child cleaning the room for him, Tang Tian felt a surreal feeling.

The power of money is really something.

Just as he was feeling emotional, the door was suddenly knocked again.

"Knock knock knock!"

The people outside the door seemed to want to break the room.

Who is it?

Tang Tian furrowed his brows slightly and got up to open the door.

Four or five disciples in short shirts were standing lazily outside the door.

When they saw Tang Tian open the door, they immediately put on a smirk.

"Heh heh, I thought you were going to hide forever!"

"You dared to skip work yesterday, causing me to be punished by the elders. Do you want to die?"

The leader sneered.

Tang Tian furrowed his brows and quickly found him in his memory.

Jia Meng, the bully among the disciples, was the one who often bullied and robbed Tang Tian.

Actually, Tang Tian didn't want to get involved with this kind of person, after all, that was something from his previous life and had nothing to do with him. In the future, they wouldn't even be in the same world.

But unexpectedly, this guy came early in the morning.

"You better not be here to cause trouble."

Tang Tian said in a deep voice.

Jia Meng raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Hey, I'm giving you face, right?"

"You didn't get enough beating the day before yesterday? Do you want to taste my iron fist again?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his fist and made a gesture as if he was going to punch.

Tang Tian's face gradually darkened, a sharp aura condensed at his fingertips. As long as Jia Meng dared to throw a punch, he wouldn't be able to take it back.

However, just as the two were on the verge of a confrontation, a shout came from behind Tang Tian.

"Outrageous!"

Gu Xiaoxue's figure instantly appeared in front of Lin Tian.

"What kind of...thing are you, to dare to confront my Tang Tian?"

"You...are you tired of living?"

"Get out of here!"

Tang Tian: ...

Looking at Gu Xiaoxue, who blushed and deliberately lowered her voice, forcefully saying something that sounded completely like a "lackey", Tang Tian was speechless.

Where did you learn these words, little girl?
