When Zhao Li Xin returns to his small courtyard he crosses path with a man in yellow uniform it's obvious who they are, the man in yellow uniform immediately notices Zhao Li Xin's presence as he shifts his glance toward him "You are Lu Xin?" he asked with snobbish looks.

"I am" Zhao Li Xin replied indifferently. 

"Miss Nan wants to meet you, follow me!" he didn't wait for Zhao Li Xin to answer as he turns around and expecting him to follow.

Zhao Li Xin throws a glance into the courtyard, the array seems unused it means Lory is still safe inside their room. After he feel assured with Lory safety he followed the yellow uniform man.

The yellow uniform man leads him to the Nan Family Manor. Nan family Manor is one of the biggest manors at sacred Mountain Peak, he passes through the second gate into the main garden, inside the pavilion a lady with white robes play Gu Qin the gentle sounds floating on the air, her hair sway by the breeze as her hands move gracefully like a butterfly. Her thick eyelashes fluttering when Zhao Li Xin and her subordinated come.

The yellow uniform man cupped his fist and he bows courteously "Greeting Young Miss Nan, I have brought Mister Lu here"

"You may leave…" she raised her hand to sign her maids and subordinated to give them privacy.

When they left, he signs Zhao Li Xin to sit in front of her. Zhao Li Xin follower her suit without talking. she praised The young man's cold temperament but at the same time, it make her feel worried because she can't read his mind or deduced his real motives, someone like Zhao Li Xin is not easy to control but his astounding power make her eager to gamble her decision.

"Has you decide which Master you will serve?" Na Yu Qi said directly without beat around the bushes.

"As long you fulfilled everything you said at the practice field, I don't mind to serve the fourth master Xie," Zhao Li Xin said calmly. He hinted Nan Yu Qi that his service is not going to be cheap.

The corner of her mouth lifted "Of course…" she replied with assertive smiles "But, before that I want you to do something for me…just to show your sincerity"

"What?" he answers nonchalantly as he already expected it.

Nan Yu Qi face brightened up she feel pleased with his attitude "Bring me the shadow tiger" she stops dwelling with her Gu Qin as she stares at Zhao Li Xin with probing looks.

"The shadow tiger is a Saint-level beast…" Zhao Li Xin said in a low voice as he wants to make sure of her ridiculous request.

"Yes…" Nan Yu Qi smiles sweetly as if she doesn't know how absurd her request is "bring me the shadow tiger cub" she firmly said.

Zhao Li Xin knew the damn woman test him, she wants to know how strong he is. It's been a while since people dare to test him, he doesn't mind playing with these people before he ends all of them "Sure.." he replied casually "Anything else?" 

Nan Yu Qi surprised Zhao Li Xin accept her order without negotiating, the truth is she just wants to make Zhao Li Xin fl.u.s.tered or anxious since his face always remains placid, she wants to tease him and make him begged her for the easier task but who know he would accept her request without a fuss, her interest with Zhao Li Xin just raised another level.

"That's all" she smiles as she continues playing her Gu Qin and ignore Zhao Li Xin's presence.

Zhao Li Xin also turns around and left nan Yu Qi with a calm expression there's no slightest worry in his face, unbeknown from him Nan Yu Qi took a glance at Zhao Li Xin back and soft smiles bloomed on her face 'What an interesting man' she thought to herself.

Meantime, lory pull herself from the bed, she already cleans herself and gets dressed, she even took time to clean the room and changed the sheet and blanket, where she got the sheet? She brought it in her spatial ring for 'Just in case' situation where she will not accommodate to live in a good place, but now she used the new sheet for a different reason and her face blushed heavily, it seems she needs to wash for real this time.

"You clean up the room?" a familiar baritone voice startled him.

"You're home…" Lory surprised and happy at the same time.

Zhao Li Xin c.a.r.e.s.s her cheek "You don't have to clean the room we will move to a better living quarter today"

"Today?" Lory stunned, luckily they don't need to pack anything other than took the new sheet and blanket with her. it would be troublesome if someone found out the sheet and blanket made from high-quality linen, although their background is a rich merchant, but they not supposed to be that rich to afford this kinda luxury.

"Speak of the devil…" Zhao Li Xin mutter.

A young man in a yellow uniform enter their courtyard, Zhao Li Xin greeted the young man with an expressionless face. Zhao Li Xin face paralysis is well known so he doesn't feel offended "I came here to escort you to the new courtyard" 

"Hum" Zhao Li Xin hummed then he turns around "Are you done yet?" he asked Lory with uncaring tones which make his heart sting a little.

"Yes!" Lory comes out from the room in haste.

The young man brows furrow because the rumor is true that Zhao Li Xin treats his wife like a servant.

"Let's go!" Zhao Li Xin cued the young man.

"Oh yes, follows me" 

The young man takes them to a medium courtyard who is bigger than the previous one, the courtyard has a small garden and small pavilion and the room is much nicer than the previous one, at least the bed can accommodate two people now, Lory is quite satisfied but Zhao Li Xin vexed, is sacred Mountain Peak society is poor, why is their living quarter is far from his expectation, are they thinking he is cheap?!

"Is great isn't it, you have to be thankful with miss Nan, she has chosen this place personally for you" the young man face beamed as if he grant Zhao Li Xin with great honor, he misunderstood Zhao Li Xin reaction as a happy surprised, then he opens the inner door and show proudly "You even have adjunction room for your wi….ehm, servant" he corrects himself then he shows the small room with wooden bench to sleep and a small drawer.

'So that's supposed to be my room' Lory lament to herself.

[The only missing is a small electric fan and we're good to go] Lory chuckled as she reminiscing her past while trolling alone with Girsha after she left the 'King city' Herriond.

On the other hand, Zhao Li Xin faces tur as dark as charcoal as he screams inside his head 'They want my princess to leaved in the closet!' Zhao Li Xin is infuriated, he wants to bash the smug face from the young man's face.
