After traveling through time, my blood became a panacea

"No need to be so polite." Sikong Hongyu put down the book in his hand and looked at Xu Feng and said lightly.

"Thank you, Fourth Miss." Xu Feng stood with his head bowed respectfully.

"I heard that you don't want to work under me?" Sikong Hongyu asked casually.

Hearing this, Xu Feng lowered his head even lower, as if to acquiesce. The study room fell silent for a moment.

"Forget it, since you don't want to, I won't force you." The silent and awkward atmosphere did not last long. Sikong Hongyu sighed with a hint of disappointment in her tone.

Xu Feng felt relieved immediately, and the cold aura around him also disappeared for the most part.

"I didn't have high hopes for this. I can generally tell which people I can conquer and which people are unwilling to be inferior to others."

"Although you and I only had a short trip to the Blood Mist Forest, considering what you did in the Sikong family, you pursued comfort and stability rather than taking risks."

"Let's put aside the matter of taking you as my confidant for now, but your special talent of sensing danger in advance is indeed quite rare and precious. I will need your assistance in something soon. I wonder if you are willing to go with me?" Sikong Hongyu asked.

The cultivation environment of Huanyue Continent is far superior to that of Fenyan Continent, and there are many talented people with special talents. Xu Feng's performance made Sikong Hongyu recognize him as one of those extraordinary people.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Fourth. I am willing to serve you." Xu Feng agreed without hesitation. It was just like a mission.

He had the Sky Thunder Pearl in his hand, so if there was any danger, it would be no problem for him to escape by surprise. He believed that even if Sikong Hongyu wanted to stop him, he couldn't.

"That's the best. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in terms of compensation. By the way, the house and the maid I gave you were originally rewards for your first contribution. Just accept them without any additional conditions. It was also because I didn't explain it clearly before I went into seclusion that caused my subordinates to misunderstand."

"Hmm?" Xu Feng looked up.

"It's nothing strange. Because of you, most people were able to return safely from the Blood Mist Forest. If the Sikong family was the same as the other two families, at most one or two of my men would have survived. Most of them have followed me for a long time and are quite strong and loyal. If all of them were killed, it would be a huge loss that would be irreparable for me.

Not only that, if I didn't quit early, the trump cards that the family had prepared for me would be used up. Originally, after the land reclamation mission was completed, those unused life-saving items needed to be handed over to the family, and then handed over to the leader of the next year's land reclamation mission.

Because of this accident and the family's concealment, in order to compensate me, I only need to hand over half of those things. It is your credit that I can get these benefits, so you don't have to mind it, it is what you deserve. "

Xu Feng was silent for a while, and finally said to Sikong Hongyu gratefully: "In that case, I thank the fourth lady for the reward."

"Well, by the way, I still have quite a few maids in my courtyard. They are all grown up now, and I can't keep them forever. If you are interested, you can pick a few that you like and take them away with you." Sikong Hongyu said slowly to Xu Feng.

"Well, thank you for your kindness, Miss Fourth. However, as practitioners like me, we should not be too obsessed with matters between men and women, so as not to delay our practice." Xu Feng was somewhat shocked by Sikong Hongyu's words, but he immediately declined.

A moment of silence.

"In that case, then it's up to you." Sikong Hongyu said casually. She didn't seem to care when Xu Feng refused.

"Then, I'll take my leave first." Xu Feng bowed.

Sikong Hongyu hummed and waved his hand casually. Xu Feng then left the study room under the guidance of the maid.

……

As he left the Sikong family mansion, Xu Feng felt more and more relaxed and happy. The worries of the past few days were swept away. He no longer had to be Sikong Hongyu's confidant, and he did not lose his freedom. He also had his own house in Chiyun City and did not have to live under someone else's roof. This was simply the best result for him. Xu Feng's steps became lighter.

After returning to the mansion, it was already late. This time, Xu Feng did not stay in the secluded room in the outer courtyard as he did before. He did this to avoid suspicion, thinking that the mansion and the people should be returned. Now that he knew that these were originally gifts from Sikong Hongyu, he naturally did not need to continue to be hypocritical.

Now, he truly regarded himself as the master of this house.

There are three bedrooms in the inner courtyard. The main room is reserved for Huaji, and Xu Feng rests in another one.

The next day, Xu Feng washed up, had breakfast, and then came to visit Hua Ji. In the bedroom, the maid just served Hua Ji who was lying on the bed and had breakfast. Seeing Xu Feng coming to visit her early in the morning, Hua Ji's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Master." The maid bowed quickly.

"Well, you go down first, I'm here." Xu Feng sent the maid away.

"Yes!" The maid packed up the things, bowed and walked out.

"My lord." Hua Ji said softly.

For the first time, Xu Feng's gaze towards her seemed so gentle.

"From now on, you will stay with me." Xu Feng said to her.

From the first time he saw the painter, he was touched, but he suppressed it at that time. Later, when he was a little drunk, he couldn't help but come to the inner courtyard to find her. At that time, he saw her painting seriously, and she painted dozens of portraits, completely restoring his expressions and movements. It was obviously just a very short meeting.

At that time, his liking for Hua Ji increased again. Until yesterday when he applied medicine to her, under the visual impact, he really wanted to keep her and was even ready to ask Sikong Hongyu.

Who could refuse a woman who was full of love for him, and who had both beauty and talent? At least Xu Feng couldn't do it.

"Really? My Lord?" Huaji's eyes revealed great surprise.

"Well, but you have to change this address first. Don't call me Lord in the future. Just call me Brother Xu. It seems more intimate this way." I was too lazy to correct it before because I thought people would leave eventually. Now, of course, I need to change.

"Ah? This..." Huaji was stunned when she heard that.

"You don't want to?" Xu Feng asked back.

"No, no. Xu, Brother Xu." Huaji hesitated, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and said weakly.

"Yes. That's it. By the way, Huaji, this shouldn't be your real name, right? What was your original name? Do you still remember?" Xu Feng asked.

Hua Ji was stunned again, raised her eyes and looked at Xu Feng seriously, and after a moment she said: "Yuehe, my real name is Fu Yuehe."

"Fu Yuehe? What a nice name! I will call you Yuehe from now on. Also, you don't have to call yourself a slave. Just call me Brother Xu. If you are a slave, then what am I? Do you understand?" Xu Feng admonished earnestly, appearing very patient.

Fu Yuehe looked at Xu Feng with an inexplicable look in her eyes. She moved her lips and said, "Yes, Brother Xu."

Xu Feng squatted down beside her bed, gently held the woman's hand, and said seriously: "I, Xu Feng, am not a heartless person. Since I have kept you, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. As long as you don't betray me, I will never let you down. This is my promise to you."
