Mad Scientist

" Why do you seem so scared it's just medicine did something bad happen you can tell me," said yi ying. she noticed Alice's strange behavior she seemed very down for her usual behavior.

Alice thought that she would get angry or something. But it was totally unexpected " I am not feeling well after little sister minion died that's all " replied Alice. " don't you also feel sad for her " Alice probed again.

" I feel sad but I couldn't do anything about it I am just a mortal. I can't control everything right but she also saved you " said yi ying. she wanted to comfort Alice. ' I will beat him up once we are done why did he have to pull such a cruel trick on innocent girl '. But she also knew if not for him Alice would have been a goner not only suffering from these wounds.

Alice felt a pang in her heart ' Did I make a mistake she really didn't care much about her. ' thought Alice. Even though she had killed many but she always felt justified by the reason she was doing it for. Sometimes it was ordered while other times she was very convinced that the person deserved to die.

For a cultivator a strong heart is a must there must not be any regrets that hindered their path in life. but she just got one, Alice felt her spirit shaken. Different from bai jie everyone in the cultivation world people was using their strong emotions or bloodline to connect with spirit energy, unlike bai jie they didn't understand the fundamentals that governed the spirit energy.

This was bai jie had first discovered when he first arrived that the spirit energy responded not to his body or emotions but his brain. In this world, people believed that the cultivation technique allows them to cultivate but Bai Jie discovered that it was wrong, cultivation technique was just a medium to stimulate the brain.

People in this world have aligned cultivation with spiritual force while it's just a form of energy that responds to a living life form cells.

Bai jie also knew even if he tried to explain it to others no one would believe him. It's the same how humans have believed the earth had no bounds for thousands of years it became a belief.

Yi ying also felt the pressure of Alice's cultivation. she just lost control of her energy.

" what happened are you alright. " yi ying asked.

There was a trace of blood trailing down from Alice's lips. " No it's nothing my wounds just acting up a little. " while she forcefully suppressed her emotions.

" Come with me I need to meet young miss " said yi ying suddenly.

" What why, " asked Alice with her eyes wide open. ' Is she going to throw me back to young miss no I can't let it happen if Lord ji find out that I couldn't keep an eye on her then it will definitely be over. '

" Big sister did I do something wrong I really didn't intend to abandon her " said Alice.

" No I need her help with something. " said yi ying.

Alice thought in her heart ' what is she trying to do.' she didn't want to be with this lady but she has because she is the only one who can affect lord ji decision of killing her.

" I understand thank you," said Alice.

" No need to thank me " said yi ying. ' It's great if you didn't abandon him how would he able to escape '.

" Let's go " said yi ying while Alice followed.

while Alice was thinking about what reason could she have to go young miss then is it for low tier spirit stone or something else. ' I need to gather information. '

From what Alice knew young miss was always been against her she was the only daughter of ji household so lord ji was also very lenient with her. she even has a quota of low tier spirit stone. but she would just waste it here and there. In barbarian lands even low tier spirit stones are luxuries in itself.

" Big sister can I ask you what do you want to ask young miss," asked Alice.

" It's about the favor she owes me. I want her to do something for me " said yi ying.

" I see " said Alice in realization.

They both went into the young miss courtyard Alice was very familiar with this place. but in the way they bumped into Argeena.

" I know you may miss this place but you can't come whenever you want now," said Argeena when she saw Alice.

" No sister I didn't come here to play but head maid yi ying want to meet young miss," replied Alice ' You think that you are very special don't flatter yourself ' thought Alice.

" hmm, head maid please come this way " Her attitude suddenly changed when she saw yi ying. while Alice frowned.

yi ying nodded and followed Argeena. They entered in young miss's room.

" so what do want " asked ji Julian. Argeena had briefed her about the situation.

" Can we speak alone?" asked yi ying.

Ji Julian nodded and looked towards Argeena.

Argeena bowed and went towards the gate.

while Alice was standing behind.

" I want to speak to her alone," said yi ying again. It was for Alice to move out.

" but Big sister I " Alice wanted to speak then suddenly argeena grabbed her arm and both of them moved out.

" Even though I owe you a favor if it's against ji household I won't help you," said ji Julian. even though she was a kid she understood that if she asked something ridiculous then she will directly reject her.

" don't worry it will be a very easy task for you. I want to go out secretly without anyone knowing from this I mean not even your father. " said yi ying outright. she knew that bai jie already faked his death and she would need to go out too. The best way for it was to ask a professional. yi ying knew ji Julian went out without even anyone knowing if she wants to go out without anyone knowing young miss is the best one to consult.

" Why do you not want anyone else to know " ji Julian said her eyes frowning.

" It's something personal " replied yi ying.

" Is it related to your subordinate dying?" said ji Julian suddenly. she heard the news that some bandits had attacked Alice and minion and minion had sacrificed herself to save Alice. she was just a mortal so no one would complain about her dying. Everyone had the same belief a cultivator's life is far more of values than a mortal.

Yi ying didn't reply she just stayed silent.

" Listen to me on this there is no point on running around you don't even have your cultivation anymore. even if you find those people you can't handle them. "said ji Julian.

while her expression seemed nostalgic.

" can you do it, " yi ying asked straightforwardly. the less she spoke the better.

" I can do it but what's the point even you want to avenge her you can't with as weak as you are now," said ji Julian but she felt annoyed by her tone.

" so young miss is this the value of your favor I had high hopes for you " yi ying shook her head.

" Are you so eager to die I am trying to save you they are at least 5 stage experts " ji Julian was feeling crazed now she had anger in her eyes.

" So what if I have a death wish it's none of your business I asked you a simple task for a favor but what do I get just excuses I will ask you again last time can you do it. " yi ying probed again she didn't have any other idea she needed this young miss help.

" you " ji Julian did know what to say. she felt her mind exploding. " fine then I will make sure I will make arrangements for you but it's all I am going to do I won't help you hunt down those bandits. " ji Julian exploded while she thought ' How can there be such an idiot risking her life for a mortal. '

" Thank you young miss I am very grateful " said yi ying nonchalantly. ' I hope this is the last time I have to cheat you huff ' yi ying sighed it was very important to convince young miss with her plan to go smoothly.

" When do you want to leave it's almost night today " asked ji Julian frowning.

" yes the day after tomorrow in the morning. " replied yi ying.

ji Julian nodded. " I will give you free advice for your courage to take that Alice with you. she is a third stage so if you get into any trouble she can use her identity token to get out of trouble. "

" But I have my own " said yi ying. bai jie had explicitly said not to trust anyone here.

" you can't use it they can track you within 5 km " replied ji Julian while smacking her head. ' What the hell I am getting myself into.' thought ji Julian.
