Chapter 200 - 200: 197: Gu Mingyue l s Worries_l
Yang Chen waved his hand and smiled amiably, “Brother Jin, you’re too polite. Let’s not talk about settling accounts. If Jin Cheng needs my help, I can’t refuse.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Cheng shouted excitedly, “Good! As expected of my friend, Yang Chen!”
He was overjoyed because his father had entrusted this matter to him, and he was extremely devoted to it, afraid of causing any trouble. However, Huang Chiyang and the Sun Family had sect forces behind them, so even if he didn’t want to mess things up, he didn’t have much choice.
And then, Yang Chen appeared.
Not only did Yang Chen appear, but he also had the strength of the Second Level of Spirit Martial Realm. This was like a lifesaver in front of him, and how could he not be overjoyed.
“By the way, when is the competition scheduled?” Yang Chen inquired.
“Funny enough, it’s the day after tomorrow. I’ve been worrying about this matter these days. Since you’re here and willing to help, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.” Jin Cheng said with a faint smile. “I’ll pick you up the day after tomorrow.”
“Then I’ll trouble Brother Jin.” Yang Chen bowed slightly.
Seeing Yang Chen agree, Jin Cheng’s heart was filled with delight, “It’s getting late now. Old Six, arrange a good room for my brother to cultivate. Oh, Brother Yang Chen, these dancers are all still virgins. If you find one suitable or take a liking to anyone, feel free to take her with you. From now on, they’ll be yours.”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile, knowing Jin Cheng’s intentions, as he looked at the dancers who were hurriedly bowing in half-kneels.
The dancers looked at him pitifully, evidently begging him to take them in.
Yang Chen shook his head slightly, feeling a little helpless. These dancers were just some women without any background, mostly brought up and trained by the City Lord’s Mansion to entertain people. If they could attract the attention of someone with status, they would have a master and a home.
But if they couldn’t catch anyone’s eye and remained homeless, when would it end? Even if they were bullied, the City Lord’s Mansion wouldn’t help them out. After all, their status was only as dancers, and the City Lord’s Mansion wouldn’t really care.
However, if they were truly chosen by someone, they would become people with a master. At that time, anyone who wanted to bully them would have to think twice.
These dancers were all astute, seeing how Yang Chen and Jin Cheng called each other brothers. How could they not have their own thoughts? With charming eyes and beautiful faces that seemed to drip water, they tried to gain sympathy and make Yang Chen pity them. At least Yang Chen was young and handsome, which made them dream of him as their master.
But Yang Chen had no intention of sheltering them. He didn’t want to bring trouble to himself, “I appreciate Brother Jin’s kind intentions, and having Ming Yue is enough. Ming Yue, let’s bid farewell to Brother Jin.”
Gu Mingyue understood Yang Chen’s intention upon being reminded and quickly curtsied, leaving with Yang Chen.
“Young Master Yang Chen, please!” The bodyguard Old Six spoke.
This made the dancers somewhat resentful.
Looking at Gu Mingyue, they could tell she lacked both manners and poise. How could she be better than them? They had received proper training and naturally were not comparable to Gu Mingyue.
When they saw that Gu Mingyue became Yang Chen’s maid, they couldn’t help but feel jealous. In what way were they inferior to Gu Mingyue, and why couldn’t Yang Chen see it?
After their accommodations were arranged, Yang Chen focused on cultivating while Gu Mingyue served tea and water, and tidied up the room. She tried to mimic the elegance of the dancers, feeling that their movements made them seem more dignified.
Compared with them, she felt like the difference between a common chicken and a golden phoenix. The gap was obvious.
Gu Mingyue felt somewhat lost in her heart.
She originally followed Yang Chen out, feeling overjoyed to be with her young master. But upon thinking about it, wouldn’t she be a burden to Yang Chen with the way she looked? They were out, and her appearance might bring shame to Yang Chen.
With mixed emotions, Gu Mingyue was unaware her tea was overflowing and suddenly felt its heat. She cried out in alarm.
“What’s wrong?” Yang Chen opened his eyes and asked gently.
“No, nothing…” Gu Mingyue hurriedly replied, “I’m sorry for interrupting your cultivation, Young Master.”
“It doesn’t matter because I wasn’t planning on cultivating seriously.” Yang Chen smiled slightly, “Do you have anything on your mind?”
“No!” Gu Mingyue shook her head quickly.
How could Yang Chen not see what Gu Mingyue was thinking as she tried so hard?
He spoke calmly, “Ming Yue, there’s no need to rush. If you truly want to improve, you might not be as good as others now, but one day, you won’t be inferior.”
Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, Gu Mingyue felt warmth in her heart. Sorrowfully she said, “Young Master, is it because I’m clumsy compared to those people? I always feel that I’m doing things that would make me lose face for you.”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “I also came from the Vast Wilderness. Who looked down upon me? Ming Yue, in my heart, you’re always the best. No one can compare to you. If I truly thought they were better than you, I would have agreed to let them be my maids just now. But I didn’t. Do you know why?”
Gu Mingyue was stunned, ‘Young Master, why?”
“Because you are unique to me.” Yang Chen said earnestly.
Gu Mingyue’s eyes moistened, and she couldn’t help but wipe her tears, touched and crying.
Yang Chen said gently, “Alright, don’t cry. If you cry, you won’t be pretty.” Gu Mingyue nodded again and again.
She now understood that as long as Yang Chen didn’t look down on her, it didn’t matter if the world did. However, she still couldn’t disappoint Yang Chen. From now on, she would serve him wholeheartedly, without distractions, and not think about anything else.
With that, on the second day, Yang Chen used his Divine Soul Detection and found that Gu Mingyue had run out early in the morning, not knowing what she was doing.
Surprisingly, when she returned the next day, everything from serving tea to her bearing had improved a level. She even learned how to make tea, which surprised Yang Chen.
Upon asking Jin Cheng, Yang Chen found out that the little girl had asked the City Lord’s Mansion’s Steward early in the morning to teach her..
