My chest froze. Why did she need to bathe? Could it be that a personal maid had other uses?
I, the dignified eldest daughter of the Xia family, have actually fallen to such a state? It was better to be killed by someone with a knife back then. It was a thousand times better than being a servant girl for a terrifying person!
Coming out of the bath, Mei Li stood behind the screen and took out a set of pale yellow clothes with black patterns. She helped me put on my undergarments and put on the light yellow clothes. The bronze mirror reflected my face. The clothes were extremely luxurious.
"Miss, follow me." Mei Li pushed the door open. The sky was already filled with sunset, and the entire world was red.
Mei Li led me around the winding path.
"Miss Mei Li, who is your Sect Master? Where is this place?" I had no choice but to ask around.
"Young Lady can just call me Mei Li. This was the Ice Mystic Sect of the Four Seas Town. The Sect Master had been away for a long time, and the Young Sect Master had always been in charge of the entire Ice Mystic Sect.”Mei Li smiled lightly and brought me to a large hall. She smiled lightly and said to me,"The young master is waiting for you." Then, he left.
I looked around. This place was surrounded by water, and there was only a hall in the middle. There was only one path that led to the outside. On the other hand, the lotus flowers were blooming beautifully.
He pushed the door lightly, and the heavy door opened. It was silent inside. I walked inside and found that there was only light on the left side. It turned out to be a side door. The light was coming from inside the corridor.
"I'm here." I stood in the room and sized up the owner of the room.
The man stood barefoot on the carpet, his back facing me as he looked at the lotus flowers outside the window. The room was very simple. There was a bed, a table, and a huge bookcase.
"I haven't asked for your name." The man turned his back to me and never turned back.
I didn't dare to move. I just replied,"My name is Xia Tian."”He looked over and found that the person did not have any reaction. It seemed that the news of the Xia family being raided in the capital had not spread here.
He didn't move and didn't seem to hear me. I gathered my courage and asked,"You still don't know the young sect master's name?”
That person turned around in surprise. When he saw me, he was surprised again and sized me up.
"Young Sect Master?" I called out.
" Hmm..." The man was obviously satisfied." You're the first person who dares to ask my name to my face." I am Shui Xuanyue."
Still expressionless, he walked to the table and sat down. He took out a thick book and began to draw.
I stood there uneasily. Time passed by bit by bit, and the candlelight exploded from time to time. Because he hadn't eaten, he started to feel hungry. I rubbed my stomach as the moonlight shone on the lake.
The candlelight shone on Shui Xuanyue's face, making his already sharp features appear even more mature and charming.
I stared at his side profile in a daze. I didn't know what kind of career such a person would have in the modern world.
"Summer? Summer?" A low voice interrupted my thoughts. I quickly came back to my senses. That deep pair of eyes was looking at me.
"Summer, go out and get someone to get some food. I'm hungry.”Then, he lowered his head to read again.
I responded and walked out.
"Hey, don't wear shoes when you come in later. You will dirty my room.”A voice came from behind.
I lowered my head. My shoes were new. Even though I walked all the way here, I didn't dirty this place. The corridor was getting darker and darker. Without the candlelight, it looked mysterious. Turning to the hall, moonlight poured in, filling the room with silver light. I looked outside and saw two people standing at the end of the long road.
"Hello?" I waved at them.
"What's wrong?" A man ran over.”
"Shui Xuanyue said that she's hungry and wants to eat.”He lowered his head, so I couldn't see his face clearly. However, when I mentioned Shui Xuanyue's name, I could feel his body trembling slightly.
"Got it." He turned around and was about to leave.
" Wait..." She hurriedly stopped him." That... I'm hungry too. Can you find me something to eat?"”
The man was obviously surprised that I asked him this question. He couldn't help but look up at me. There was a long scar on his face that extended from the corner of his left eye to his lips.
" You…" I covered my mouth and pointed at his face.
He scurried away.
Why did this person have such an ugly scar on his face? Could it be that he got injured during a fight?
I pondered as I sat by the door. The other person stood there motionless. If it wasn't for the fact that the corner of his clothes would suddenly be blown up by the wind, I would have suspected that he was a statue.
After a while, the person returned with two bowls of porridge on the tray.
"White fungus lotus seed soup." He left immediately after handing it to me.
I carried the tray back to Shui Xuanyue's room and took off my shoes at the door. I stepped on the carpet barefooted. Heh, it was quite comfortable and fluffy.
"This is White Fungus Lotus Seed Soup." I put a bowl on his table, then sat on his bed and started eating my own.
"You're hungry too?"”
" Mm," I raised my spoon." It's delicious. Try it."”
He was stunned for a moment, then picked up the bowl and scooped a spoonful of it to his mouth.
"Um, Shui Xuanyue, why does that person outside have such a scary scar on his face?”I cleaned up the dishes as I glanced at his handsome face.
"I left it behind when I was practicing." He stood up and walked barefoot to the bed.
" Hey, it's not good for digestion to sleep after eating." I smiled at him and walked to the door to put on my shoes." Why don't you go out for a walk with me?" The night view here is so beautiful."
He was stunned for a moment before following me through the corridor and arriving at the entrance of the hall. The moon had already risen high in the sky.
"Shui Xuanyue, why is this the only way to your palace?”I walked along the side of the long road, and he walked alone in the middle. The black robe looked especially elegant under the moonlight.
" Yes." He stopped halfway." You go quickly, and then we'll go back."”
I responded and ran to the other side of the road to hand the tray to one of them before heading back. Under the moonlight, Shui Xuanyue stood alone. She gave off a feeling of being isolated from the world. Even though she appeared to be unapproachable, there was a sense of loneliness in her.
"Shui Xuanyue, don't you have any siblings?”I looked up at his black eyes, which were so charming. Sigh, if only he didn't treat me as Murong Xi's accomplice, then I would be able to approach him as a friend and not a thief's friend.
Shui Xuanyue pursed her lips and walked into the dark corridor. I followed behind him, but I didn't hear any reply.
"What's wrong? Didn't you?" I looked at him in confusion as his back merged into the darkness.
"I'll make do with it tonight. Tomorrow, go find someone to send a blanket.”Shui Xuanyue took off her coat and lay on the bed before closing her eyes.
I tiptoed to the front of the bed and looked at my future bed…Could this bed be where I will sleep in the future? This was…too hard!
" Shui Xuanyue, you…" I wanted to discuss if I could sleep somewhere else. Even though the scenery here isn't bad and it's cool, sleeping in the same room with a man, and this man even wants me to sleep on the bed, it's really…
He turned over." Don't talk. Go and blow out the lights."”
He could only turn off the lights and lie on the hard bed. It was really uncomfortable without a blanket. And he couldn't even change his clothes.
Listening to the insects outside the window, I gradually fell asleep.
So cold…
Hmm…I slept well tonight, even though the bed was so hard…I opened my eyes in a daze and looked at the roof. Suddenly, he saw a pair of angry eyes! Scared! What was going on?
"You…What are you doing!" I immediately got up and shrank to the side to check my clothes…Phew…Even if they were wrinkled, they were still neat.
That person got up and stepped onto my bed. He looked at me and said,"Did you sleep well?"
What was this! "It's alright…"
"Then can you return the blanket to me?”The man grabbed the thing in my hand and carried it to his bed.
…Did I snatch his blanket in the middle of the night? I got up with an innocent face and nimbly shook his coat for him to wear.
He didn't stand on ceremony either, as if he was used to being served. But I don't see any maids around here. Could it be because I came and sent them away to do other things so that I could do all the labor?
"Are you done?" The voice sounded faintly above his head.
Sigh…I want to fix it too, but…the buttons are too difficult to fit in! "It's almost time. Why are you not in a hurry? Wait a minute!”I tugged at his collar." You lower yourself. It's not easy to put the buttons on anyway. I still have to raise my hand!”
He obediently bent down and let me fiddle with his buttons.
Ah, it's finally done. Look, I'm quite satisfied, haha.
He got up and walked out of the room. Before he left, he said,"Clean up yourself and come with me to eat later.”
I turned around and looked at the messy bed. Sigh, this was the first time I had to make a bed in so many years since I came to ancient times. He had lived a decadent life. In the past ten years, he had not even buttoned his clothes himself. If Shui Xuanyue had not forced her to be her servant, she would not have done it herself.
She folded the blanket, smoothed the bedsheets, and tidied up the things on the desk. She wanted to dress up, but she realized that there was no comb or mirror. Could it be that all men's bedrooms were like this?
I walked out of the main hall and saw Shui Xuanyue standing on the other side of the long road, talking to the two people. I walked over. When the two saw me coming over, they lowered their heads and said nothing. Shui Xuanyue looked at me and gestured for me to follow him.
We passed through a small road and there were already people busy setting things up. Everyone would stop when they saw Shui Xuanyue until he left.
