After both Father and Mother calmed down they went and prepare tonight's feast. While they're preparing he went and visit his little sister and Xiao Xue.

-----

"So, How is my brother treating you?" Xiao Xue asked with curiosity. She wanted to ask some specific question about her brother but afraid to do it. This is the first time she met him. To be honest, she has no expectations from her brother and she only heard about him from her mother a few times.

"Master is treating me nicely." Without hesitation, she answered the question instantly.

Hearing the immediate answer from Xiao Xue she can clearly see that she is treated well.

"What kind of person is he?" Zhen Le asked.

'Hmm, What to say? Sometimes Master is a bit weird but he's not too weird. He is the only person that I can depend. Everything about him was perfect.' The question was a bit hard she needs to think for a while

"Perfect!" Xiao Xue only said a single word but it summed up everything she felt about Zhen Lun.

"What do you mean by 'Perfect' put more words to it." She wasn't satisfied with that short description. With that, she won't know anything about her brother.

"Absolutely Perfect."

"...Is he kind?"

"Yes."

"Is he strong?"

"Yes."

"Can he do most of the thing that people can't do?"

"Yes."

"Like what?"

"Master can cook. He can also draw and dance. He writes books about combat technique, He is proficient in teaching, He can forge a pretty sword and he can treat illness."

"Umm... I only know that much, there may be other things that I haven't see yet." She mentioned everything she knows.

'He can do so much thing?' Zhen Le was shocked. Her brother who looks very normal was talented in many fields? Since Xiao Xue said so it must be true there's no reason for her to lie.

"Okay, enough about my brother. What about you? What do you like?" Zhen Le asked. She suddenly lost the interest toward her brother.

Hearing that question she was confused about what to answer. She never really thought about what she really likes.

After spending the time at 'that' place, it was really fortunate already that she was alive. The only thing she thought about was surviving the hellish place. She never thought that she could have a chance like this, being happy like a normal girl should be. Being able to meet Zhen Lun was the most fortunate thing that happened to her.

"I don't know." After thinking for a while she still cannot find the answer but if she has to answer she'll say this. "Being near Master is quite relaxing."

At this moment, hearing that her brother was involved even in this question, make her feel annoyed. "What is the food you like? Do you like meat or vegetables?"

"I would eat anything as long as they're delicious." She's not a picky eater.

"Then, What about dresses?"

"As long as they're comfortable to wear." If she could she wouldn't wear a dress.

"...What about toys?"

"I've never touch toys before." She never has the chance to play toys before.

"Where did my brother pick you up?"

"...I cannot say." It's not something that young girl should know.

"Why?"

"You are too young." Even though She has the same age as me.

"What? Both of us has the same age."

"But I'm much more mature than you." She definitely is, she never complained or throw a tantrum, except that time when Zhen Lun forced her to.

"I admit that you are cuter but my chest is still developing, maybe because you are born earlier than I am? On what month you are born?" Zhen Le was offended by that statement. She misunderstood the mature context and looked at her chest and Xiao Xue's. Her is flat as a board and Xiao Xue's has a slight curve.

"I don't know when is my birth date." The memory of her when she was a baby was obviously forgotten, she didn't know who is her parents and she is being raised at that place. When she was two years old she was forced to do house chores and when she was five, she was forced to serve a man.

"Did your parents didn't tell you?" Zhen Le looked at Xiao Xue strangely, she never heard someone that doesn't know their own birth date before. This is because the people around her has been leading a smooth life.

"I don't have parents. I'm an orphan." Xiao Xue answered.

It's the first time Zhen Le heard the word 'orphan'. Now she realizes something about Xiao Xue, her life before meeting her brother must be harsh.

She eats anything that served on the table whether it's edible or not she would eat it.

She wears anything that is wearable as long as they could prevent her from getting cold she would wear them

And...

What about her?

Sometimes, she would not eat even though the food that is served in this house is not something you can get outside. Every food that was being served in the mansion, they're expensive dishes.

Sometimes, she would nag at her servants to get her new dresses as she doesn't want to wear the old one.

All she did was troubling her parents, getting them worried about her over something that they didn't even do.

That's right, she has been quite stubborn. Despite that there's no cure for her, she kept looking for a way to cultivate. There are other things that she could do, other than complaining at her parents.

While she is learning other things maybe her father has found a way to cure her.

Is this what she meant by more mature?

"Xiao Xue... I love you." Zhen Le thanked Xiao Xue for making her realize her mistakes.

"I'm going to be better than him so that I could take you away!" She planned to study everything that Zhen Lun has studied. If her brother could do it, she believed that she could too.

Though she knows that she has no chance at all. She still wanted to try and do something for once.

Cough*

Zhen Lun just arrived and the first thing he saw was her little sister confessing her love. Just how far they advance after such a short time.

"I'm going to beat you and take her with me." Zhen Le smugly tugged Xiao Xue to her side and rubbed her soft cheeks.

"As long as you're happy." Zhen Lun smiled. He can't argue with her if she wanted to

"What? Really? I can take her? Brother, you are the best!" Zhen Le was instantly brightened up.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet. You can't take her away. She will be leaving with me tomorrow." After tonight's family feast, he will be leaving this place and went on a journey to the capital city.

"You can leave but she cannot!" Zhen Le was kind of surprised that her brother was about to leave after he finally came back. Even so, she still reluctant taking Xiao Xue away.

"Mother and Father spoiled you too much." Zhen Lun sighed. "Xiao Xue is not a toy. You'll need to ask her if she wanted to stay."

Back then he was also a spoiled kid, he understands why though. Her mother never scolds anyone and her father would grant her any of her wishes.

Zhen Le was scolded by someone for the first time. Her eyes were teary as she was about to cry.

He immediately felt guilty for scolding her. "Look, I can't stay long. It's related for curing you too." Zhen Lun can't help but shook his head. He also doesn't want to leave this early too but time can't be wasted.

"You know... While talking with Xiao Xue, I have made up my mind, I will just do something else, there are many other things than being a martial artist. More importantly, fighting isn't my thing too." Zhen Le said in a gloomy tone.

"I see why Mother and Father's complexion is not that good lately. It's all because of you." Zhen Lun scolded her again. He has to do it even though he feels bad about it. It's for her sake.

"Don't bottle up your feelings like that anymore. It hurts them when they see you like that okay? They cared about you and really worried about you. Mother and Father are someone who is one of the strongest but that expression of you can hurt them, more than a punch from someone that is stronger than them." Zhen Lun squatted in front of her and petted her head.

"Let me ask you again. Do you want to cured or not?" He asked her with a gentle smile.

...

...

"I don't know! I wanted to but can you cure me?" She shouted out. Zhen Le knocked her brother hands off from her head and glared at him. "You totally ruined the mood! Why would you even here?"

"Good, that's the expression that I wanted you to make from now on. A strong expression with no sign of weakness." Zhen Lun got her yelling again, he was quite shocked by her reaction but he manages to keeps smiling.

"Believe me, even though I may not look like one. I'm quite reliable" Zhen Lun assured her.

Grabbing his sword out. Zhen Lun asked her a weird question. "Do you believe in a miracle?"

His way to convince someone may be too excessive but he believes it will work. Like how he did to Xiao Xue, he was about to do it with his little sister. Using his sword, he cut off his hand.

Xiao Xue reacted quickly, she didn't stay frozen like Zhen Le. "Master!" She was frightened to death.

Zhen Lun's crazy actions clearly shocked both Xiao Xue and her little sister. Who wouldn't be shocked when someone out of nowhere cut off his own hand?

"I'm fine, watch." Zhen Lun said confidently. Xiao Xue can't help but stood at his side watching what her master was about to do.

Without wasting any of his time, the instant his hand was cut, he grabbed the hand of his and break the bottle of health potion that he has prepared beforehand.

Letting the liquid flows down as he holds his hand together. When the liquid touch the injured part, it healed them and glued them back together.

As they're finally glued, he drinks another potion to make sure everything was healed perfectly.

Both of them stared him as though they saw a ghost.

"Do you believe me now?" Zhen Lun asked her again.

-----

In the kitchen of the mansion, The chefs were busy preparing the feast for tonight. Some of them were chopping ingredients, and some of them were stir-frying vegetables.

The scene was amazing as the chefs weren't communicating with each other, they somehow know the next moves the other was going to make as though they were reading each other mind.

The chefs that were preparing the dishes all of them were at the transcendent mortal realm. They're professional chefs that could make a dish that extends someone lifespan or put a smile on someone face.

Zhen Kang was watching them cooks not allowing a single mistake at all. If there was he would be asking them to leave. These grade of chefs were not easy to be hired but he was willing to fire them if they made a mistake.

Knowing the grave situation, the chefs decided to go all out when preparing the dishes for tonight feast.

"I'm back." General Shui came back from his hunting, using his dimensional ring he summoned out the beast that he hunted and put them on the table.

'There's no injury to be seen at all on the beast. It seems the beast was killed without any physical injury.' The chef was shocked when he saw the beautiful carcass. It was yet touched by someone.

Normally, a fight to hunt mythical beast was absolutely dangerous and they dare not to be careless. As a result, the carcass of the mythical beast was destroyed, bones stuck some of the meats or it was beaten into mash, etc.

'It was an honor to make this beast into a dish.' The chef was excited. The beast was at sixth stage transcendent mortal mythical beast, a perfect condition, truly an honor for him.

Not wasting a single second, he started to remove the meat from the bone, using his keen sense he could easily tell what kind of bone structures it has. With it, he can remove the meat from the bones more easily.

In a few minutes, the bones and the meats were separated from each other. The bone will be used in cooking stock and the meat will be prepared accordingly, depending on which meat it was from. The more tender pieces will be seared and the tougher pieces will be cooked as a stew.

'Hm... it seems they will not make any mistake at all.' Zhen Kang then left the kitchen but feeling worried he ordered General Shui to supervise them. 'Watch them.'

'Understood.' General Shui replied.
