In the night sky, the stars receded, revealing a glimmer of light in the east.
Xia Qi opened his eyes out of habit and came to the Spirit Locust Tree to meditate. This had become a habit for many years, and his biological clock naturally woke up at this time.
Unless he drank too much, Xia Qi would wake up very early.
An outstanding Yin-Yang Master not only needed talent, but also a heart that was trained for a long time. Xia Qi had done this very well.
As Xia Qi cultivated, his Spirit-branded Retainers naturally sat at the side and cultivated together.
Just like how Xia Qi was used to meditating, maintaining their peak state was also their habit.
"Senior, good morning!" Sakura Moon came early today as well, but she didn't seem to have rested well. Her eyes were full of dark circles.
Perhaps he was too excited about obtaining a 4-star top-grade soul, causing him to not sleep well.
"I said that even if you're my cousin, you can't stop me from working at Xia Qi's!”Yun Ji's voice came from outside the door. Behind her was Yuan Se, who had a helpless look on his face.
His cousin had announced that she would become Xia Qi's subordinate during dinner at the Yuan Family. After dinner, Yuan Se was dragged to the side and beaten up by his father. The reason was that he did not take good care of his cousin.
Yuan Se was speechless about the fact that she had been framed. Who did she offend? I was busy collecting information so that I could invite Xia Qi, the big boss.
How could he have the time to care about his younger cousin? Moreover, she was already an adult. She wouldn't listen to him even if he cared about her. He couldn't beat his younger cousin. You can't put all the blame on me.
After explaining, Yuan Se's screams became even louder.
As his father hit him, he said unhappily. How dare he talk back?
Therefore, Yuan Se was afraid. When she heard that she was going to Xia Qi's place, she quickly followed him. She would talk to Xia Qi later and ask him to persuade her cousin.
"Yun Ji, you're early!" Xia Qi said with a smile when he saw Yun Ji and Yuan Se coming to the backyard.
At this moment, Yuan Se was still explaining something to Yun Ji.
"Good morning, Brother Xia!" Yuan Se forced a smile. She had been beaten up and had been in pain for the whole night. She had not rested well. It was really uncomfortable. It was rare for her to smile.
"Yuan Se, what happened to you?" Xia Qi looked at Yuan Se's face in surprise. It was bruised and swollen beyond recognition. It had only been a night, and she was already like this?
"Hey, don't mention it. It's a long story. Brother Xia, I have something to tell you in private!”As she spoke, Yuan Se gave Xia Qi a look and pointed at Yun Ji.
Xia Qi was relieved." Yun Ji, go to the kitchen and see if there's anything that can help Yingyue!”
"Yes, my lord!" Yun Ji nodded and walked to the kitchen.
"Tell me, what is it?" Xia Qi asked.
"Well, Brother Xia, can you persuade my cousin to stop working for you? I don't have any other intentions. It's like this. My uncle is a very, very proud person. If he finds out about this, he'll be furious!”Yuan Se pleaded. It was not that he had any objections, but his uncle from the Cloud Mirror City was too proud.
If he found out that Yun Ji had become someone else's subordinate, he would be beaten up again, and his parents wouldn't say anything.
Yun Ji was his uncle's only daughter, and he treated her like the apple of his eye. In addition, he was famous for his pride in the Cloud Mirror City. He would definitely be skinned alive. Just thinking about it made Yuan Se feel scared and his hair stood on end.
"Yuanse, I can't help you with this!”Xia Qi shook his head.
"Brother Xia, whatever you want, just ask. As long as I can do it, as long as you persuade my cousin to go back!”Yuan Se almost knelt down.
"Uh, that's not what I meant. I can't persuade her either!”Xia Qi spread his hands. He had already persuaded her to go back yesterday.
However, he couldn't persuade her. Her personality was too charming. This was too difficult.
"Why is it like this…No, why, why is it like this…!”Yuan Se was on the verge of tears. He felt a chill down his spine when he thought of his uncle.
"Perhaps, this is because her personality is too strong!”Xia Qi sighed. He was too charming. Sometimes, it wasn't a good thing, especially when he brought trouble to his friends. However, this was natural. Xia Qi felt helpless.
"..." Yuan Se looked at Xia Qi with disdain. Can you be any more shameless?
"Don't be too sad. If your uncle finds out that Yun Ji has become my genius Great Onmyoji and Xia Qi's subordinate, he might not beat you up!”Xia Qi patted Yuan Se's shoulder, indicating that there was no need to worry.
" You... you're simply..." Yuan Se's face turned red. She didn't know how to describe Xia Qi. Xia Qi, I didn't expect you to be like this.
" Alright, Yuan Se. I'll talk to Yun Ji later and ask her to keep this a secret. I'll try my best not to let her call me Lord in front of others. I'll try my best not to let others and your uncle know about our relationship. What do you think?"”Xia Qi said.
"Alright, that's the only way. Thank you, Brother Xia!”Yuan Se was helpless. This was the only way. Xia Qi did not lie to him. He knew his cousin's personality very well. She was very stubborn. Xia Qi could not persuade her. At this point, this was the only way.
"Brother Xia, thank you very much. My cousin Yun Ji is very straightforward, but she is a very good girl. I hope that you can take care of her temper and be more tolerant of her!”Yuan Se pleaded.
"No problem, we're all friends.”Xia Qi nodded.
"Alright, I'll go back first and let my father know. This matter will be left for now. I'm already doing my best to collect information about the ruins. When I get more complete and detailed information, I'll look for Brother Xia!”Yuan Se said.
"Good!" Xia Qi nodded.
