Psychic Inventor In Cultivation World
229 Chapter 228 : : A New Member Of The Castle
'I was so focused on hiding my lies that I almost forgot that as someone who is used to hear many people lying around will definitely get suspicious if someone starts to speak only truth all of a sudden, how could I make such a silly mistake, I need to be more careful in the future' (Rex)
"Yeah I had the idea, so what do you mean by that?" Rex asked.
"Only A Few People Know About My Ability, As For Why I Mentioned It? It's Because Of This Ability I Can Tell The Difference Between What They Show And What They Are, They All Do Flattery And Talk About Loyalty But What They Want Is My Shadow Law.
Right Now You Don't Need To Think About What Is Shadow Law, What I Want To Say Is, People's Hearts Are Way Darker Than What They Show. Because Of This Ability I Was Never Able To Put My Trust In Anyone, But You Kept Your Word And Completed The Deal Without Any Malicious Intent Towards Me. It Showcases Your Character, And I Don't Even Need To Mention Anything About Your Talent. That's Why I Want You To Be My Disciple.
Listen, Rex, No Matter How Talented You Are, Without A Good Teacher Or Mentor You Will Just Squander All Of It. I Am Also An Array Expert, So I Can Help You In Your Profession Too. I Am Not Saying All This Out Of Nowhere, I Have Observed You For A Long Time, You Are Just Like Uncut-Diamond Who Is Yet To Be Processed" Zakiya said in a serious tone.
Rex was slightly surprised by his words, he didn't think Zakiya had such a high opinion of him.
"I am grateful that you think so highly of me but.. you are not entirely correct. You think of me as a good person right, let me tell you something, I already had a master who is no more, guess how he died? I ordered my men to give him death as painful as possible" Rex said with a sneer then used Instant Transmission and disappeared from his place.
He didn't want to use Instant Transmission but he also didn't want to talk on this topic anymore
Zakiya didn't chase after him either, he just casually looked at the sky and thought.
'This Guy Didn't Even Have The Heart To Use That Beast Cub As A Hostage Against The Drakon And He Says He Is Cruel Enough To Kill His Teacher, What A Joke…. Hmmm But My Ability Says He Didn't Lie Then Maybe He Did It Because He Didn't Have Any Other Choice Or… Maybe His Master Didn't Have Any Good Intention Towards Him.
I Can Convince Him Later Too, For Now, I Should Focus On Overcoming This Poison, I Already Have The Potions I Will Go Into Seclusion For A While. I Hope It Works' Zakiya's body again changed into a shadow, then it merged with the shadow of the tree and disappeared.
When Rex arrived at Frozen Flame, Jiang Shuang wanted to talk to him about something, but Rex was too tired, so he directly went to the second floor to sleep.
He slept for the next 30 hours, his body had recovered in less than 20 hours but he just wanted to rest for a while more.
'This smell… so good, so intoxicating. It's light and it doesn't irritate my nose at all. Did Jiang Shuang bring a new perfume… no, it gives a feminine feeling, he couldn't have possibly picked it' Rex thought as he followed the scent.
As he followed the fragrance, he arrived at the main hall of the ground floor only to get stunned when he saw the source of it.
Rex saw that Jiang Shuang and a woman were standing there, at present Jiang Shuang was getting scolded by her.
"Patriarch Jiang, how many times have I told not to walk inside the house while wearing shoes, you still haven't changed this bad habit," The woman said with a calm face, her words might be harsh but her tone was a melody in itself.
She appeared quite young, but she had a well-developed body, like a mature woman. Her fair skin, golden hair, coupled with her slate-gray eyes and rosy lips, enhanced her charm to another level. Whether it was sizes or curves, she had an explosive figure. Her posture and composed look showcased her firm temperament.
The woman was wearing a blue-white dress, the dress had a matching white pair of gloves and long frock included which covered most of her skin. The only visible parts were her face and the neckline that slightly revealed her cleavage. Her golden hair was tied into a bun behind her head
Her dress was similar to that of a high-rank maid uniform or female steward in noble families, Rex knew it because of the knowledge he gained using Mind Arts on his enemies before.
Whether it was beauty, dress up or temperament Rex liked everything about her, but right now the main thing that caught his attention was not that but the fragrance coming from her.
'Her choice of perfume is praiseworthy' Rex thought.
Because of his strong sense of smell Rex can't stand most of the perfumes they cause irritation in his nose but this one not only felt nice, it also didn't cause any irritation to him.
When Jiang Shuang noticed the Rex entering the hall his eyes shined and he hurriedly interrupted the woman.
"Wait… see, he is here, Master Rex come meet her, she is the one I was talking about the day before yesterday," Jiang Shuang said.
The woman also stopped talking and turned to look at Rex, when their eyes meet she looked at him for a moment before slightly bowing and introducing herself.
"I am Lucia, It's my pleasure to meet Young Master Rex in person, I am the head maid and the caretaker of Patriarch Jiang's mansion I have been called here to take care of Young Master Rex's castle" Lucia bowed and said in a calm tone. She didn't appear surprised when she saw Rex, remaining composed the whole time.
'Young Master Rex…' Rex's heartbeat fastened.
[You can fantasize later as much as you want, it's better to respond to her for now]
"I am Rex Andrews, I am glad Miss Lucia took on the task of taking care of this castle, this way I will be much more at ease, from today onward this castle shall be in your care," Rex said with a smile.
'So he did remember, I thought that he didn't hear anything at that time because he was sleepy' Jiang Shuang thought when he saw Rex's response
{As I thought, you never heard anything at that time, did you? she is Lucia she used to take care of my house, my main base on this continent to be exact. Didn't you ask me to bring a person who can take care of main matters, guide the servants and maids here, who is also a strong and trustworthy person…
Rex's face was dark.
Jiang Shuang immediately shut up, he firmly believed that Rex dares to do that.
Lucia was a little confused that why is Jiang Shuang is addressing such a young person as Master Rex but she had already started to call him Young Master Rex and no one including Rex himself stopped her so she felt that changing the way of addressing in the middle of the conversation wouldn't be a good idea.
"Have you decided on a room to stay?" Rex asked in a polite tone.
"I arrived just a while ago, so I haven't had the time to find one yet" Lucia replied.
"Oh, so that's how it is, if I may recommend then, it's better if Miss Lucia choose a room on the third floor, especially on the left side. The view from the balcony there is pretty good and you can easily see the west side of the garden. It can help you keep an eye on the people working in the garden" Rex said with an honest face.
"I will keep Young Master Rex's advice in mind" Lucia replied politely.
Jiang Shuang's face was stiff as he stared at Rex with an 'I was wronged' look.
When the construction of the third floor was finished, Rex chose a room on the left side of it to live from henceforth. The rooms there were pretty big with a personal bathroom in each. The view from the window and balcony was also pretty good, so Jiang Shuang also chose a room near Rex's, and had fun all day long.
But later Rex scolded him saying that he makes too much noise and made him change to another room in a faraway corner. The whole third floor was only reserved for both of them, the exception was only the baby beast who mostly stayed in Rex's room, but no one was allowed to go there. The cleaning was always done by Working Bots
But now Rex directly told Lucia to pick a room there and a room on the same side as him, Jiang Shuang really felt wronged but Rex ignored his pitiful look directed at him.
[Aren't you the lucky one]
'Yes I am the chosen one but… isn't all this look too good to be true? She is such a beauty and a responsible person on top of that. She was managing his home, so why would he bring her here so easily, unless he is a eunuch or…gay? … cough... I should keep a few meter distance with him from now on…, just in case.
Hmm… but he has a daughter so the chances of something like that is not high and she was actually scolding him when he should have a higher status than her… something smells fishy here,' Rex thought as he suspiciously looked at Jiang Shuang.
"Yeah I had the idea, so what do you mean by that?" Rex asked.
"Only A Few People Know About My Ability, As For Why I Mentioned It? It's Because Of This Ability I Can Tell The Difference Between What They Show And What They Are, They All Do Flattery And Talk About Loyalty But What They Want Is My Shadow Law.
