Chapter 1073: Chapter 316: This Is a Painful Commission! Farewell, Ninth-Rank Disciple!

Yuchi was stunned.

But at least this matter was resolved somehow. Without even looking at the paper, he handed it to the young girl and cheerfully asked, "I haven’t asked yet, what’s your name, little sister?"

The girl stood there, head lowered, "My name is Li Xiao’an."

Yuchi: "Three characters! A great name! Disciple of the Ascension Gate, no doubt about it!"

Li Xiao’an was startled by Yuchi. What did he mean by a great name with three characters... and then a disciple of the Ascension Gate, what did that mean? It felt like something was off.

Yuchi casually found an inn on the roadside. He brought young Li Xiao’an to sit in a private room at the inn. Without saying much else, he curiously asked, "I’m wrapped in bandages right now, do you not think I’m a bad guy?"

Yuchi was quite curious.

He hadn’t revealed his identity for the time being. Was it because of Li Xiao’an’s good luck that she hadn’t encountered a bad person? Otherwise, if she really had met a bad guy, she’d probably be in a bit of trouble now.

While speaking, he poured a cup of tea for Li Xiao’an.

Li Xiao’an had never drunk such good tea. In her impression, she didn’t even know what was good about this tea. It was just some leaves soaked in water, and the taste was very bitter.

Unless some oil residue was added to make oil residue tea, it was really hard to swallow. She was already not eating well, drinking tea on top of that was just asking for trouble.

"I saw you taking me from the Sea Heaven Sect."

"So you must be someone of the same stature as the Sea Heaven Sect. At this level, what counts is reputation, so you wouldn’t deceive people."

"Besides, my elder, she’s very good at reading people, and can make basic judgments with simple conversations. Not to mention, she must have seen more than I did, otherwise she wouldn’t have agreed if it were just a random person from the street."

Li Xiao’an was too nervous to drink the tea, appearing a bit uneasy.

Yin Shuang: "Wow, smarter than she looks, even smarter than me, Yuchi’s plan to fool people has been foiled."

Li Xiao’an’s heart tightened: "Who’s speaking?"

She immediately looked around, and Yuchi’s fingers were already covering Yin Shuang’s mouth. While enduring the pain in his fingertips, he smiled and said:

"You heard wrong, no one is speaking... So, is there anyone else in your family that needs taking care of? Since you’ll be joining the sect with me to train, you probably won’t be coming back."

Yuchi immediately changed the topic.

"No one."

Li Xiao’an shook her head, "I’ve already proven my value, that’s what they wanted, so I feel I don’t owe them anything."

Of course, she was very curious, what did he mean by going to the sect for training, how could he be sure she had a spirit root, and going to the sect for training... She didn’t have gold or silver, so how could she go to someone else’s sect, was he going to support her?

Then...

Godfather?

Li Xiao’an blushed, she felt this was the only possibility. If she agreed, it would basically mean she consented to his intentions, but this was all very sudden, let alone the fact that she hasn’t even seen what he looks like, she should at least see what he looks like right?

Yin Shuang: "Oh, Yuchi was actually waiting for this."

Yuchi: "..."

He replaced his bloodied, bitten finger with another one, covering Yin Shuang’s mouth again. He patted his head and laughed, "It’s nothing, many things you’ll understand in the future, once you reach the sect, it won’t even be more than a month before you get used to life there, and then you won’t feel this nervous anymore."

Then he stood up supporting himself on the table: "Let’s go, young Xiao’an, Master will take you to the state capital to buy some things, anything you want to eat, you can have!"

Li Xiao’an didn’t know how to respond.

The more she listened to Yuchi, the stranger it seemed. He was going to send her to a sect, and feed her well, but never mentioning what she needed to give in return. The more it was concealed, the more shy it made her, considering her poor background, why would this man spend money on her? She had to give something in return.

Give what?

Even with her eyes closed, she knew what it would be.

"Sir, how should I address you?" Li Xiao’an asked, suppressing her inner shyness.

"Me, huh." Yuchi didn’t notice Li Xiao’an’s feelings, "Call me Sect Leader Senior Brother."

"Sect Leader Senior Brother..."

Li Xiao’an looked at Yuchi with a strange expression, she didn’t expect he had such a fetish. But I’ve heard, these big figures love playing roles, Sect Leader Senior Brother it is, better than calling him something else.

Yin Shuang: What’s this "beep", Xiao’an, you seem to know quite a bit!

Li Xiao’an did know.

Many girls around her ended up like this, how could she not know what path she might take. But now looking at it... hey, it’s actually not bad, at least she doesn’t have to suffer, at least she won’t be beaten again, and he doesn’t seem like he’d hit his wife.

That’s already something.

As Yuchi prepared to take the disciple to get some food in the state capital, the door of the private room was knocked on, and a voice came from outside, "Sir, may I see you?"

Who is it?

Yuchi was confused, he didn’t know anyone in the state capital. Crucially, dressed like ’Zabuza’, who could recognize him? Could these bandages not conceal his glory?

Is it a little fangirl?!

"..."

Ten seconds later, Yuchi looked at the nearly two-meter-tall bearded middle-aged man in front of him, his heart bleeding, who was this person smiling at him? And a bald head at that...

Jet...

Brother Jet?!
