Chapter 26 : Head Maid Chen Mengue

Slash !!!

Thud !!!!

The second Elder's head rolled on the ground just after Lin Xiaoxiao's sword fell on the back of his neck.

It's not that he is weak but has never thought of resisting her attack and face that was full of coldness.

To know, he is the second person beside Lin Xiaoting who has supported Lin Xiaoxiao unconditionally, at least on the surface and spending so much time together he has at least a good feeling for her, as much as his own grandchild.

So, the head that was left fallen on the floor still has emotions of regret, uncomfortableness, pain and sadness even after his death but there were no signs of fear because of meeting his end rather he was feeling sorry for his family members.

Maybe, it was also because he felt guilty for hiding such a 'secret' from his family and has already given up on his life.

" Master, I have dealt with the traitor. "

Lin Xiaoxiao said with a bow , an indifferent face, not showing any remorse for the fallen Elder's death.

It's not that she is not having any emotional fluctuations but she can't show it on the surface.

Even if the second Elder's confession was only accepting his 'mistake' that he doesn't speak about himself, she was still willing to do it only because if he doesn't die then the people who die would be she and her father and the rest of the family.

After all, it took them a lot of time to come with the plan to indirectly fall into slavery under Su Yang's command and now an Idiot will do something to enrage their master, isn't this killing the whole clan for a single person?

To be precise, there should be over a million members both inside and outside the dawn City of Lin Clan, and it is not a difficult decision for her to choose whose life she wants to save.

For her family's good intentions, she can hide her love for Lin Tian, for their survival she can sacrifice her own happiness and directly come to Su Yang with no further questions and now when a white eyes wolf will endanger her plans and hard work what she is expected to do ? Of course, she will strike in one go and end his life.

" Very well, Since the traitor has been dealt with. You may also leave. " Su Yang said flatly.

The other didn't expect him to be so generous and sparing them despite the fact that the people who wanted to harm him were one of their relatives.

" What happened ? Why are you guys not leaving? "

Seeing the people not moving from their places even an inch, he asked despite knowing the cause.

" Prince Su, we really didn't know that.... that Second Elder intended to harm you. If we were to know this we might have dealt with him before coming here... We are sorry..... "

" That's right , we really don't intend to harm you in any way possible "

" We are innocent.. Please spare us my Lord. "

Since Su Yang has given the order to leave them, the guards on the side have already loosened their restraint.

And as soon as they felt the shackles holding them disappearing, The whole of Lin family that came to make amends with him directly prostrated on the ground, pleading guilt and asking for mercy.

" First of all, you guys stand up quickly.. I am not an unreasonable person and will only pass my judgement to the person wrong but not indiscriminately slaughter everyone related to him. So, I am really not angry with you but rather feel sorry for being in the dark for so long. "

Seeing everyone kneeling in front of him with such fear and tension boosting his cultivation slightly, a faint smile appeared in his face.

But still pretending to be a generous person , he let go of them. After all, the value of a Protagonist's related person lies in squeezing their resourcefulness in the long run, not in an immediate response and slaughter unless they are really useless or interfering with his work.

Though it would have been a different matter if his mother were to be here. At least, everyone standing in front of him might have ended up as blood mist and meat paste even before he could blink his eyes.

Standing back Everyone has an unbelievable written on their face as they didn't expect that woman's child could ever forgive someone but thinking his upbringing has been so good since childhood with no case of harming or bullying somebody in any manner possible , it shouldn't be that unexpected.

Anyways thinking if they have been saved from a big problem they left in a hurry as Su Yang himself has hinted at them a few times to leave and they aren't fools to ignore his words again and again.

And there is still a lot of things to deal within the Lin family such as charging that old idiot Great Elder with treason for instigating an assassination attempt against Su Yang, the worst is he will be left to fend off in the mortal world with his cultivation abolished and memories sealed but if they were to give him an immediate relief, the sunlight after today might only shine on his corpse.

Lin Xiaoting might have not realised till now but their family's horoscope is really too bad from unfortunate things to happen one by one to abandon thier own family's tombstone and now even killing their own family members is not something a clan do generally in the cultivation world but who asked them to be a weaker party and who asked them to offend Su Yang and his sister, Su Ling. Also, the current suffering is not anything but a great decline in their luck after a son of luck was born in their family, sucking most of what could be used for his own use.

To put in a sum-up everything they have become children abandoned by the luck and destiny ever since Lin Tian was born in the family.

" As for you, You may go to Maid's courtyard and find Chen Mengue. She will teach you the basic things that you can do within my palace,

the rules and laws that you must never break when following me and lastly, your room and accommodation to live permanently. Uncle Wang you notify her of Lin Xiaoxiao's arrival. "

"Also , don't chop someone's head next time in the hall, it looks a bit... Well, forget it "

After Everyone else left, Su Yang said to Lin Xiaoxiao standing alone in the centre of the hall, who didn't see off her family but is waiting for his orders on what to do next.

And ordering someone to take care of the corpse, he also left the hall.

***

A moment later

Lin Xiaoxiao finally let out a deep sigh after everyone emptied the hall along with the second Elder's corpse.

She didn't notice it before but the place she is currently standing in is extremely luxurious and full of rare treasure.

It also stands to the reason, that previously she was unable to look here and there because of countless eyes locking on her and the sudden appearance of a traitor overwhelmed her mind and spirit.

" *Sigh I am all alone now, what to do next ?" Finding everyone seems to have left her on purpose and no one else is here to help in adjusting in the environment, she breathes out another deep sigh.

But remembering that Su Yang seems to have asked her to report to the maid named, 'Chen Mengue', she also left to look for the 'Maid courtyard' without any hesitation.

Since the Maid's courtyard was not far away from the main hall, It didn't take long for her to find it but the courtyard was of the size of half a mile in diameter. The Term, 'Maid courtyard' is written on a giant plaque with highlighted words.

Though it is collectively called the 'Maid courtyard' , this place is still in the scope of Su Yang's palace implying that the maids living here are all the ones that are specifically serving Su Yang alone.

" Is this still a place for the maid to live ? "

When looking at the beautiful decoration and rare spiritual trees and abundant energy & Qi, only at the door of her new residence she couldn't help but feel doubtful of life.

To know , she has also visited the joint maid Residence in her own home but that place wasn't necessary as exerted as this one , even her father's place to live looks pale when compared with it.

This background is so powerful to the extent that the status of the head of Several clans doesn't add up to the status of maid and servants in Su Yang's palace.

To think that once Lin Tian was given a chance to marry, the only daughter of Su Hao is also a miracle. After all, her status is several times higher than any guardian or low level elder let alone a servant of this level.

Thinking of this, she also felt ridiculous. After all if that guy doesn't possess the sword heart that appeared once in several hundred thousand years in a random sword cultivation based family ( **Lin also means Sword ), he might not be allowed to lick Su Ling's shoes, whereas marriage is a matter that might not be possible in his imagination.

In this short incident surprise and shock on her face disappeared slightly and hatred towards Lin Tian again increased by a lot.

But when entering the courtyard, the scene inside made her unable to be at peace. The pathway made of rare divine stones and the magical grass with strange lights on both the side of it, the towering buildings that are higher than another, a lot of females with pure face and holy white robes are sitting in the centre pavilion mediating and consolidating their cultivation base, there are even a few small 'animals' that are running here and there.

This courtyard turned out to be more luxurious than it looks from outside, full of rare sights and beauties that are only slightly worse than her in appearance.

" There must be eight or nine hundred of them if not thousands, right ?"

Lin Xiaoxiao mumbled inwardly not knowing how to express her current mood after finding that all the people serving her 'master' are almost as beautiful as she is.

After all, where is a family in the world that have so many young and beautiful women as the maid for their young prince. Even in her family, she is only one of two or three most beautiful person and that is still counting a Married Elder along with it and here is a whole of horde of it, each with different kind of aura and charm. If Heaven exists then Su Yang is definitely living in the corner which every man in the world can only dream of.

There is another thing that she already figured out at this point that her allure as a beautiful woman might not work on Su Yang even in the slightest. If she previously thought Su Yang will be visiting her as his bed warmer or something then, now she can only fight desperately for his favour. Her family's fate still lies in the fact how Su Yang actually treats her.

It seems every step she takes bring both hope and despair. The earlier is short lived but the latter pierced her heart and brought a headache that doesn't seem to be relieving at any moment.

At this moment, a dozen or so women who looks like a fairy opened their eyes as noticing an unfamiliar person's gaze was wandering in their place for too long. They felt the aura is of a female but the exact identity is currently unknown.

Just as others can notice her arrival, similarly Lin Xiaoxiao also noticed a few female cultivators looking at her with curiosity,

the ones that in the surrounding seems to be the prettiest, almost catching upto her looks and beauty.

" Hello... Ummm... Elder Sisters.."

As she thinks that she should be the first to greet others to cast a favourable impression as she also needs a group of helpers and allies to survive in this new place but still because of some uncomfortableness Lin Xiaoxiao only waves her hand awkwardly.

"Hello... But who are you ? "

Instantly arriving in front of her, The female leading other maids asked in a general tone but silently she was on guard.

The leading female is named Jin Xiao and she is one of the maids with most influence in the 'Maid courtyard' almost ranking in top five. Naturally, she is better than other maids in terms of appearance, talent and her cultivation also don't lose to some well known geniuses in the dawn City. It is just after following Su Yang she has never been shown to the outside world.

Seeing the other party being so direct in asking her origin, Lin Xiaoxiao instantly have a good impression of them. This is how an attentive maid usually behaves, cautious of every potential danger that may harm their master and other servants.

" Me..? I am the new maid that is appointed to serve Prince Su. "

Lin Xiaoxiao said with her head a little bowed down, her face was a little flushed. Only she knew what kind of weird thoughts came in her mind when she said the word, 'Serve'.

The surrounding people looked at her stupified, there was confusion in their eyes not believing what their ears might have heard.

" Are you sure, you are appointed to serve Young master Su ? Because the general maid in our Courtyard has been living here since childhood whether she belongs to a big clan or not and till date I can't think of any 'grown' person being added in this place. "

Originally, Jin Xiao wanted to ask what kind of business a lady might have in their courtyard but when Lin Xiaoxiao tells her intentions she changed her words pondering something and finally explained a few points.

" Did you suspect that I am a fake ? This must be your disillusion. First of all , I really can't break into a place like this with 'weak' cultivation of mine and secondly, Prince Su himself has asked me to report to a sister named Chen Mengue who is said to have a residence in 'Maid Courtyard'. "

Lin Xiaoxiao is usually very smart and in an instant she knows that the other party is doubtful of her identity and immediately told the other truth that might make them believe in her.

" Sister Mengue ? She is there.."

Pointing to a female still sitting in the mediation, Jin Xiao's face was full of awe and respect. She has already believed the other as not many people in the Su family know that the head maid of Courtyard is not the most talented or strongest one but the one with the weakest cultivation base.

Looking at the person Jin Xiao pointed to Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, just because she is several times weaker than any other maid in the courtyard but all others are sitting at a distance from her, as fearing they might disturb her precious cultivation time or suckaway the qi that can be used by her.

Despite having the cultivation at the bottom of the courtyard, Chen Mengue's beauty can be said to be the topmost among them. With nothing but allure to man engraved in every part of her body from head to toe, the part that should be thinner is thin and the part that should be thicker is perfectly thick.

" I know what are you thinking, She is weak, right ? But consider it as our first time meeting I will give you an advice, never ever mess with this person unless you wanted to make an enemy of entire 'Maid courtyard'. The only people 'Maid courtyard' listen to are Young master Su and then, Empress Long, Even if we are free to neglect current Emperor's order but we still have to maintain a good relationship with her, from this you can imagine how important she is within the courtyard. "

" Huh ?? Is she really that important? Her status is higher than Emperor? "

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at others with sneers, thinking they were trying to fool her but from their facials expression she can't find any abnormality as this was truth.

" Idiot, it's not that her status is higher than the Emperor but because our courtyard was established by the Empress herself, she had restrained the former from meddling in our affairs and Young master Su is the only man who can enter here or use us in any way at will even to the point even Empress can't control him. As for Sister Mengue's popularity you may know the reason after seeing it with your own eyes.. "

Jin Xiao didn't look at Lin Xiaoxiao with the expected contempt but explained in a slow voice, after all there are still a lot of sisters sitting in meditation poses and a louder voice might disturb their practice.

Just as the voice fell, Chen Mengue who was mediating slowly opened her eyes and as soon as her eyes opened a shocking change made Lin Xiaoxiao standing faraway dumbfounded.
