Path Of Sword Master

Chapter 46 - To The Slums

"Rub it properly young master, you are not putting your strength on it, and don't leave the corners unchecked, you have a long way to go young master, at the speed that you are scrubbing, it might take the whole night and you still won't be finished, come on you have to do it with all your passion and scrub it harder and fast, young master we can't waste all of our time on this, come on we also have to do other chores", the maid Xiao Shu was ordering to the small boy in front of her who was feeling that his hands just went numb from all the scrubbing.

"Damn Damn what the heck is this, wasn't it supposed to be easy and I am at the student stage of body refining, then why am I feeling tired and what passion, who shows passion in cleaning, I thought it was just a menial task, but this is so messed up, ugh any task requested by my master is by no means easy, shit how much more do I have to scrub this damn floor", sighed Li Jie in his heart.

"Miss Xiao Shu, can I know, how much more I will have to clean", asked Li Jie with a helpless smile.

"ahh young master, you don't have to worry, only this much area is left to clean", said the maid Daria pointing towards the big space which was behind the training tower, looking at which Li Jie's eyes nearly popped out, "how can this big of an area be called only this much, are these sweet looking maids even human", Li Jie felt that it was useless to overthink, it's not like he can skip it, he will have to complete his task, thought Li Jie.

The maid Xiao Shu was just praying for no one to come here at this time or looking at the young master cleaning, they might misunderstand her for bullying the young master, and she will be blamed for it, although the young master has promised to take responsibility, she still wasn't feeling good about this.

It was then that both Li Jie and the maid Xiao Shu heard someone shouting, and from the direction of the sound they can see a teen boy running towards them shouting young master, looking at the teen boy, the maid Xiao Shu almost had a heart attack.

"Shit, what's the use of praying, if the opposite is gonna happen", cried the maid Xiao Shu in her heart, but Li Jie on the other hand was happy seeing the teenage boy wearing Li family clothes was none other than Dai Chen, who was rushing towards him.

Li Jie wanted to meet Dai Chen to ask him about his life and about his siblings and if he needed something else plus he was tasked by his master to go to his house for sightseeing as it was mentioned by his master, despite that he had also wanted to go somewhere outside of the Li family, he wanted to see how the outside world was, as all the time he had only been in the Li family castle, he wasn't even allowed to go to the family branches under the Li family.

When Dai Chen finally reached Li Jie, he was gasping for breath, looking at him Li Jie noticed that unlike before Dai Chen's eyes weren't sunken and he had a smiling expression unlike the sulky expression of his that he had before.

"Young Master, I was finding for you everywhere, finally someone told me that you will be here at the training tower", said Dai Chen with a joyful expression.

Li Jie was happy seeing Dai Chen, "Brother Dai Chen, how is your work going on in the blacksmith shop and how are your siblings, if you need something you can tell me", said Li Jie.

"Young Master there's nothing more this poor boy needs, I am content with the work that I have, I can earn enough to feed my family properly, I am happy with my life as it is thanks to you young master", said Dai Chen with a fervent expression.

The maid Xiao Shu, who was standing beside them was shocked, and wondered, "just what did this young master of ours do to make this boy praise him like a god".

Li Jie shook his head and just started talking to him about everything that he has to do in the blacksmith shop, to which Dai Chen happily replied his tasks from day to evening, and how his siblings wanted to know more about Li Jie and wondered if they can meet him for which Dai Chen didn't think this young master would come to their home.

When Li Jie heard that Dai Chen's siblings wanted to meet him, he was happy after all he was also a five-year-old kid despite his high intellect, he wanted to meet those who were of the similar age, he would only have his younger twins to play, on the plus side he can even complete the task that his master gave him.

"ummm brother Dai Chen, if you don't mind Can I come to your house tomorrow, I would also like to meet your siblings as well experience the world outside this Li castle", said Li Jie in embarrassment.

Dai Chen was shocked upon hearing this, he didn't know how to react, he would for sure love to bring the young master to his home and introduce him to everyone, but he felt worried and inferior, when he remembered his living conditions, he thought of the young master in front of him who lives in a beautiful castle with large grandiose rooms, this thought made him unsure.

"Young Master, this poor boy would love it, that you grace my house with your presence, but I am not sure if it will suit your tastes", said Dai Chen sheepishly.

At that moment, Li Jie slapped his forehead, to which both Dai Chen as well as the maid were stunned, "what happened young master", asked Dai Chen with worry.

"Brother Dai Chen please stop with the young master, aren't we friends now, so please I hope you call me brother too and what are you worried about, your family is like my family, it's obvious that I will love them, but It's ok if you don't want me to meet any of your siblings", said Li Jie with annoyance.

"No Young Master, that's not the case, I", Right at that moment Dai Chen saw Li Jie glaring at him, his heart was tensed and his throat went dry, "It's not like that Br Bra Broth Brother Li Jie, I would be honored", again he saw Li Jie glaring at him, "I would be happy if you come to my home, Brother Li Jie", said Dai Chen.

"Good, then Tomorrow meet us at daybreak right here, we will go to your house", said Li Jie, and then as if he recalled something, " Don't worry brother Dai Chen, tomorrow all the markets will be closed due to vacation.

Dai Chen sighed a relief as he was worried about his work at the blacksmith shop.

The maid Xiao Shu was stunned, "just what was with this young master, he was too different from the others", thought the maid Xiao Shu.
