The Adventures Of The Young Master

When Elder Lin explained things, Luyi managed to calmed down a little and asked, "But isn't it the wrong way? I already offended him and if I fail, you will be sacrificing yourself."

Although it was a good thing that her master would stop drinking, she didn't want her to do it if she didn't actually want to.

"Trust me, Luyi. You will earn his grace." Elder Lin smiled, "You are the most qualified to be by his side, as of now. So do your best to entertain him!"

Luyi resigned to her fate. She knew she couldn't escape this and decided to take it as her punishment.

"Oh? The palace is sure generous to even send you as my maid. You can give my thanks to them." Jin Rou smiled and nodded. He showed satisfaction in his expression as he observed Luyi, "Though you barely qualified."

Luyi felt puking blood out of frustration. Was she told to act as a maid of Jin Rou? No! The term was very lowly, and her pride almost couldn't take it if not for the other party's identity. Who would call her, a beautiful maiden, a maid?

Many men were head over heels for her and willing to sacrifice their lives for her. Her worth was beyond means of the ordinary. So what did she do to deserve this?

Nevertheless, she had to keep it in. The other person might be a powerful person the Evermoon Palace couldn't offend. And she couldn't afford to be the reason of offending the guy.

"Why are you standing there? Come and wash my feet." Jin Rou ordered. He was treating Luyi like his personal maid already which made the other party clench her fists.

But her tolerance was a bit high. She took a deep breath and prepared the pale and water for washing his feet.

During the deed, she asked, "Do you want it cold or hot, Young Noble?"

"Hot." Jin Rou answered.

Next, Luyi prepared a boiling water and poured it into the pale with normal one. Jin Rou soaked his feet there and she massaged the feet while being soaked.

The process was smooth and it gave Jin Rou a comfortable feeling. It wasn't the first time Luyi did this as her master always required her of washing her feet.

Though she was washing his feet, the action was graceful that even Meishei was amazed.

"It's done, Young Noble." After taking the pale away, Luyi said, "Do you wish for anything more?"

"Hmm, get me some fruits." Jin Rou pondered, "I want the freshest ones, so pick it in your yard. You have that much, right?"

"Please wait a minute." Luyi nodded and proceeded to get the fruits he wanted.

"She's a smart kid." Meishei was amazed, "She knows how to adapt to the situation very quickly that it's shocking."

A while ago, Luyi was holding her rage in. But now, just after the first order, she managed to calm herself down without showing her expression on her face. Her adapting skills were truly topnotch.

"Because she is taught that way." Jin Rou smirked, "Not everyone can practice controlling their emotions, but everyone can at least try. Furthermore, the dao law they are practicing is something that connects with their emotions. So if you can't at least show this much, you aren't qualified to be here."

Meishei nodded. This point was actually understandable. The Evermoon Palace was known to be a secretive powerhouse that stayed lowkey for many years now. They never intervened with the worldy matters and all.

"She is a bright kid like that Xiaoxi." Jin Rou chuckled, "As long as they are guided well, they can be top era emperors of the next generations."

In fact, being a saint wasn't entirely impossible too.

After a short while, Luyi returned with a plate full of peeled fruits. It seemed she already peeled them when she picked some. Additionally, she picked the best ones of the fruit in the garden under her master's permission so it didn't pose a problem.

Jin Rou smiled and praised her, "You did well."

"Thank you, Young Noble." Luyi accepted the praise and slowly put a piece of fruit inside Jin Rou's mouth. The latter was like a lazy prince being taken care of by her maid.

After all the fruits were consumed, she asked, "Do you want me to get you more?"

The garden of the palace was filled with delicious and sweet fruits. If Jin Rou still wanted more, she didn't mind picking some again.

"No, sit here." Jin Rou tapped the spot of where she should sit.

Luyi sat there and was puzzled. Why did the master tell me to sit here?

"All right, I know that the palace sent you here for a certain reason and you cannot hide it from me." Jin Rou sat down across with a smile on his face, "And since I'm in a good mood of your service, I'll give you a chance to tell me what's going on."

Heading this, Luyi felt happy. Wasn't this too easy? But on the other hand, the other party just said that he'd give her a chance to tell what's going on. His help wasn't yet certain.

"Then I'll brave myself then, Young Noble." Luyi sighed and said, "A few months ago, a messenger from Elemental Wind Ancient Sect came here. It contained an official message coming from the heir of their sect, Windchild Scion."

The Elemental Wind Ancient Sect was a very old lineage of the north which created terrifying three Era Emperors. Of all the three, it was rumored that one was still staying in the sect and overseeing them.

In the Northern Queen Region, lineages with living Era Emperors were considered top lineages that commanded praises of worth.

"Oh? Then?" Jin Rou's eyes had a sparked of interest when this sect name was included. Memories resurfaced after hearing that name. In fact, even a cold glint flashed in his eyes which was caught by Luyi.

Seeing that, it made her shudder.
