After feeding Yuan, ixiu went to do her own things until she went to sleep.
anwhile, Yuan stayed up all night to cultivate like usual.
’I don’t even rember when was the last ti I got two nights of sleep in a row...’ Yuan thought to himself, but oddly enough, he didn’t feel any different despite lacking sleep. In fact, he felt more refreshed and energetic than ever.
The following morning, after feeding Yuan breakfast, ixiu returned to the main house to et with Yu Rou.
"Hey, ixiu. Even though we saw each other at school yesterday, it feels longer than that." Yu Rou said to her.
However, ixiu didn’t imdiately respond, and she looked around the room with raised eyebrows.
After a mont of silence, she spoke, "Young Lady, when was the last ti you cleaned your room? It’s a ss in here."
"You’re exaggerating, ixiu." Yu Rou casually said.
ixiu turned to look at the clothes laying on the floor as well as the dirty desk in the distance.
Normally, ixiu would be the one who cleans Yu Rou’s room daily, but since she no longer lives here and spends most of her ti with Yuan, that has beco impossible.

"Young Lady... did you even find soone to replace ?" ixiu suspected that nobody was taking care of Yu Rou in her place because no servant would dare to allow such an unkempt appearance in her room.
"..."
After a mont of silence, Yu Rou spoke, "I didn’t find a replacent for you."
"What? Why?" ixiu asked her in a genuinely surprised voice.
"Think about it, ixiu. If I replaced you, my parents would know that you’re currently taking care of Brother Tian, and there’s a good chance that they’ll tell you not to help him. Therefore, I cannot replace you no matter what." Yu Rou gave ixiu an explanation on why she didn’t find another servant.
"Oh..." Upon realizing the situation, ixiu nodded her head.
"However, that doesn’t excuse your ssy room, Young Lady. I am going to clean up now." ixiu said, and she imdiately went to tidy up the room.
Seeing this, Yu Rou said with a smile on her face, "I didn’t want to take any more of your job away from you, so I purposefully refused to clean my room so you can do it."
"..." ixiu was speechless. Does Yu Rou intend on leaving her room dirty for an entire week just so she could clean it for her? That’s unbefitting of her image.

"What about the other things? Who will take care of you?" ixiu then asked her.
"I don’t need anybody to take care of . I have been taking care of brother Tian while taking care of myself for many years now— as if I need soone to do everything for . And I don’t trust anybody else to be so close in my life. They’ll definitely tell my parents about everything I do."
"By the way, speaking of Brother Tian, how’s he doing recently? Did anything significant happen?"
"Not that I know of." ixiu shook her head as she folded Yu Rou’s clothes.
"Oh, I see. Oh, when you go back, can you tell Brother Tian that players who have been approaching the Dragon Essence Temple are being beaten by the disciples of that sect so they cannot approach the place? Though, I think he should still try to hide his identity since we can never be too careful."
ixiu looked at her with a still face before speaking, "Young Lady... Wouldn’t it be better if you spoke to him yourself?"
Yu Rou imdiately frowned and said, "And how am I supposed to do that, ixiu? I cannot even et with Brother Tian! While I can sneak a eting with him, I shouldn’t do sothing so risky when everything is still heated regarding Brother Tian’s situation."
"But you don’t need to see the Young Master to speak with him, Young Lady. You can always call him. There’s no way the Masters would find out that way." ixiu said.
"Eh?"
Yu Rou imdiately turned dead silent, and she stared at ixiu with a shocked expression on her face, looking like she’d just realized sothing.
"W-Why didn’t I think of that before?! My brain must have stopped working after being told that I could no longer et with Brother Tian! I totally forgot about this thod!" Yu Rou exclaid a mont later.
"Thank you for reminding ! Ah! But Brother Tian doesn’t have a phone. ixiu, since you’ll be with Brother Tian whenever I can call him, I’ll just call your phone and speak with Brother Tian that way!" Yu Rou then said.
ixiu nodded, "I understand."
"I’ll call you later tonight after dinner, so make sure you’re free by then!"
After cleaning Yu Rou’s room, ixiu went to work outside a little just so the other servants won’t be suspicious of her disappearance.
"Isn’t that ixiu? Hey, ixiu! Where have you been lately? It feels like forever since I last saw you!" One of the other servants called her out after noticing her.
ixiu stopped sweeping the floor and turned to look at the middle-aged woman that was approaching her, and she spoke with a nonchalant look on her face, "The Young Lady has assigned with a project so I spend most of my ti outside now."
The middle-aged lady nodded and said, "It must be hard being the only person working for the Young Lady. However, it’s definitely much better than working for that crippled thing. I cannot imagine being near him, much less taking care of him every day. I’m glad the Masters finally got rid of him; it was long overdue. The Young Lady can also finally focus on her school and music without wasting her ti on that thing."
"..."
ixiu’s grip on the broom subtly tightened when she heard the other servant’s words, but she didn’t say anything and remained silent. Hell, even her nonchalant expression remained still, acting like she wasn’t affected by the other servant’s clear disdain for Yuan.
