Liu Zhengnan turned serious and with solemn eyes he said

"Master Kylo, I will not waste your time. The reason I came here is simple.

I want, me and my clan to follow Master Kylo on his future journey."

The atmosphere became silent. Avery was shocked hearing this.

Even though she knew her master was strong and resourceful, his real prowess should only be known by few in this world.

Then why would someone like Liu Zhengnan want to serve Kylo?

After all if he wanted to latch on a thigh he should have gone for some big powers like an empire or a big guild.

But even if she was shocked she did not show anything on her face.

She remembered Kylo's warning twice, so she tried to keep her face as nonchalant as possible.

Only it was so stiff Kylo had an urge to pinch her cheek.

Kylo's lips twitched when he saw unnatural expression on his maid's face but he ignored it for now.

He asked with a slight smile still hanging on his lips

"There are so many things I want to ask but first of all..... Why me?"

It was not like Kylo did not believe in his own charm.

On the contrary he was sure he was skilled enough to take in most if not all of the people under his banner.

Not only was he good looking, his strength and knowledge was not something that could be ignored.

Many might say handsomeness has nothing to do with it. But they are wrong.

[As long as you are good looking, they would have a good first impression on you.]

Most living beings ignore ugly creatures by instinct.

There is a reason why it is said 'First impression is the last impression.'

But then again for all the reasons he had mentioned before

[They have to meet me before.]

Kylo thought to himself.

And Liu Zhengnan never met him.

Just based on rumours?

Rumours are always exaggerated. And Kylo's was the same. After all it was him who spread those exaggerated rumours.

Liu Zhengnan with a light smile replied with just two words

"My Instinct."

Not to mention Avery, even Kylo was stunned with this reply.

It is not like there are no such unreasonable existences. On the contrary Kylo came into contact with many such living beings.

[But none of them were humans.]

Do not be wrong. Humans are known as the 'closest beings to the universe.' (A/N1).

They are strong and talented but they are not known for their instincts.

Even if they are closest beings to the universe, they are not perfect. After all no one is perfect.

Not even the Gods!

So it was difficult to believe that Liu Zhengnan, a human could have such unbelievable instinct.

He then thought about something and checked his bloodline.

But he found nothing noteworthy. Everything was normal.

But the more normal it seemed on the surface, the more bizzare Kylo felt.

That was what Kylo's experience and intuition said.

Seeing Kylo's unbelievable face....

"Young Master, it's true. There are rumours in the province that Clan Head Liu's sixth sense is not normal."

...Avery quipped.

[Even though Master said it's fine, I already joined the conversation and said Young Master twice.

Now then what reward should I ask...]

She thought happily.

Kylo ignored her and continued to look at Liu Zhengnan.

Seeing this look Liu Zhengnan continued

"There are also other reasons, mainly many major powers and organisations are continuing to enter our province."

Kylo raised his brows.

Seeing this, the long haired man gave all the information he had.

Avery had her eyes wide open. After all there were no such movements before she entered the cave.

[Just what the hell happened!!?]

<Expression>

Kylo immediately reminded Avery who lowered her head immediately but this did not escape from the clan head's eyes.

But he said nothing and continued to look at Kylo.

Kylo asked with a hint of curiosity in his eyes

"Do you know why there are so many cultivators entering Zahrah Province."

Avery behind him was also curious. It is just her curiosity surpassed Kylo by a lot.

The Clan Head just shook his head. He said with a bitter smile

"How could small time cultivators like us know about this."
