chapter 9: journey to the main hall

While pulling the cart Li weiyu looked around at the main manor.

Everything was so different at his young master's chamber. Even the outside floor was covered in marble. Everywhere you look you can see beautiful plants and there's even extravagant statues.

Li weiyu is so busy in looking around that he didn't notice all the eyes that watching them. Because of the unusual look of the carriage it quickly draws attention.

From afar a young man dressed in a hanfu with different shade of blue and a blue jade pendant hanging on his waist. His attention was caught by a unusual carriage painted on a shade of blue he never seen before.

He then walked towards the carriage and smile at the person that was pulling the carriage.

"Brother, I never seen you before. May I ask who you are?" He asked with a kind smile that you rarely seen on a noble towards a servant.

'system#17 who is this?' Li weiyu asked at his mind while smiling politely at the stranger.

The man in front of him has a white with a fading blue in the end of his hair, a light violet eyes and probably almost 6ft. tall.

Anyone who see him would automatically know his a noble. His also wearing a golden crown on his head.

"Ah! I'm Li weiyu. I'm the personal servant of the 6th young master." He said and see what's the reaction of the stranger in front of him.

"6th young master? You mean Zhen huang?" He asked.

"No, my young master is the young master Zhen zoya. He politely said.

'system#17?! Hurry up!' Li weiyu starting to panic because system#17 is nowhere to be seen and not responding either.

"Zhen..zoya? Who is that?" The man was asked with a confused look.

'Do I have a step-brother named 'zoya'? But it's kinda familiar tho?' The young man said trying to recall where he heard the name 'zoya'.

[Host! Be careful! That person is the son of the second wife, the 4th young master Zhen jiang!!] System#17 voice suddenly came that surprised li weiyu but what surprised li weiyu the most is the identity of the person in front of him.

"If you don't have anymore question then I'm going now I hope you have a good day." Li weiyu said with a bright smile trying to hide his nervous.

"Oh! I remember now! Is your master living in that abandoned place? Wait isn't personal servants live with their masters? So you too must be living in that place?" The more words come out of Zhen Jiang's mouth the more humiliated Zhen zoya feel.

'I should have just stayed home and say that I'm sick so I couldn't attend like always.' Zhen zoya thought to himself and try harder to stop his tears on falling.

"What does this brother's words mean? Right now... are you insulting my master?" Li weiyu said and drop his smile.

The atmosphere suddenly went cold. Zhen jiang got surprised of how fast his expression and feels an overwhelming force trying to make him fall to his knee.

Even Zhen zoya inside the carriage feel the threatening force and thought that Li weiyu angered the 4th young master.

"That's enough. Li weiyu when do you plan to continue pulling?" Zhen zoya said without opening the curtains of the window. He's afraid he might not be able to control his expression in front of the 4th young master.

Li weiyu's expression went back to smiling and the overwhelming force disappear.

" I'm sorry, young master." Li weiyu said and look at Zhen jiang one last time. "I will be going now." Li weiyu said smiling but Zhen jiang can feel the threat under his smile.

Li weiyu didn't wait for his response and continue pulling his young master's carriage.

'the carriage seems to get lighter than earlier.' Li weiyu thought and just think that maybe because he got used to it overtime.

Zhen has no choice but to only watch the servant go on his way pulling his master's carriage. He still can't forget the threatening force he felt earlier.

"What an interesting fellow. Li weiyu." He said looking at the back of the unusual carriage.

"I wonder where did they get that paint?" He said and feel disappointed that he didn't have the chance to ask about the paint.

Zhen jiang love the color blue the most so he's immediately captivated by the color of the carriage.

"I want a small blue Carriage too" Zhen jiang said and decide to tell his mother to ask a servant to make him one.

Meanwhile, Li weiyu is currently interrogating system#17 about what happened earlier.

'What happened? Where have you been?' Li weiyu said through his mind.

[I apologize but the main system suddenly summon all the system guide and I didn't have a chance to tell you.] System#17 said.

'Then is the whole system go with you?' He said.

He feels like something is wrong when the character notification didn't popped out. 

[No it wouldn't. The system is still working even without me. But, it will not update automatically. If the system guide wasn't present, all the new information will have to be put by the host personally.] System#17 said.

'I see. Then can you show me all the information about Zhen jiang.' 

[Yest, host.]

'He's level 14? Dang look at those stats.' He said to himself while looking at his stats.

[I suggest you should avoid him for now since Zhen jiang is a little opportunistic.] System#17 said.

After walking 5 kilometers, they finally arrived at their destination. Looking at the huge silver door with 2 lions carve on it, Li weiyu suddenly get nervous. 

[Host, be careful. I can feel lot of strong aura inside.] System#17 said.

'I will even you don't tell me.' He said and swallow his nervousness. He went and open the door of the carriage.

"We have arrived, young master." He said and help Zhen zoya go down.

"Let's go." Zhen zoya said after taking a breath.

They climb the stairs. But before they can even the door, a luxurious carriage arrive. A young boy with a shining red hair went down.

The boy was wearing a white hanfu with a black print of dragons on it. He was wearing a silver crown on his head.
