It was morning time now, and Xiaoyun got out of bed. She mindlessly got out of her room. Now that she was subordinate to Han Cai, she did not need to live in the servant's quarter. She and Yongnian were given rooms in Han Cai's quarter.
While she was mindlessly walking around, wondering when Han Cai would be back, She saw all the other grey robes gathered around. There were six girls who served as maids. They were all from the Yongnian faction and did Yongnian's dirty work in the outer sect in the past. Looking at them Xaioyun felt pleased. None of them were allowed to meet or serve Han Cai; only Xiaoyun was allowed.
But soon, she became gloomy again when she realized Han Cai was not there.
Other maids mostly did the cleaning, taking care of herbs, and other chores. When Xiaoyun came out, girls looked at her hatefully. Xiaoyun might have become a grey robe, but from the very start, she still looked down on other grey robes. She was very proud that only she could serve Han Cai.
On the opposite side, nine grey-robed boys came out; among those boys were the two who served Han Cai from the very start. But because they were manipulated and were planning to poison Han Cai, they received the slave mark too. All the grey-robed boys looked at the maids excitedly, and the maids looked at them excitedly too. But they did not say anything to each other. Looking at them, you would imagine there was romance in the air.
Han Cai was a virgin in this life and in his past life too. A bitter one at that, he was not going to let this bunch who wanted him dead enjoy the pleasures of life when he had given up on all the pleasures of life himself, so he had forbidden boys and girls from having any interaction. He had ordered Yongnian to punish them if he witnessed any type of activity between them.
To maids and servants, the forbidden fruits looked more delicious. But because they had slave brands, they couldn't disobey his orders, even if Yongnian wasn't looking. They had to suffer every day just to look at each other excitedly in the morning.
Yongnian arrived soon after. He had already reached the core formation level. Unlike Han Cai's black hole technique, the trade points required to improve Yongnian's cultivation were far less expensive, despite the fact that what Yongnian was cultivating was the mysterious death Qi.
When Yongnian came, all the servants and maids stood in the queue. Bowed to him, only Xiaoyun did not care. Who will reprimand her? Yongnian couldn't hurt her; they were both Han Cai's subordinates by contract.
Even though they were both loyal to Han Cai, they both hated each other. Yongnian believed he was Han Cai's first subordinate, and that is why it was he who was superior to Xiaoyun.
When Xiaoyun came to Han Cai's quarters, she was very docile and did everything that was asked of her. But ever since she became Han Cai's subordinate, she has stopped listening to Yongnian. She would even look down on him. She would do everything to grab the attention of Han Cai and not do any chores that Yongnian asked her to do. Yongnian wanted to do nothing more than poison her with his death Qi. But he couldn't; just like him, she was subordinate to Han Cai too.
Xiaoyun's logic was simple. Before she got punished, she was an inner-core disciple. She and her boss have the same master. It meant she was closest to Han Cai, which, according to her, made her superior to Yongnian. So instead of taking orders from Yongnian whenever he came, she would order him around, which would make Yongnian furious.
When Han Cai made her his subordinate, he knew Xiaoyun's personality would not change. Take away her beauty from her, and she is a perfect Karen, an insufferable bi**h. But he knew this insufferable bi**h could be very useful to him. As someday, she would be a Karen to his enemies.
Yongnian ignored Xiaoyun when he came to the servants' quarters.
He smiled and spoke to other servants and maids, saying, " Everyone, today is a happy day. Young master has come back from his mission successfully."
When Han Cai left, they were notified by Yongnian that Han Cai was gone on a mission. Since they were marked as slaves, it was very convenient for Han Cai not to have to hide it from them. None could disclose it even if they wanted to.
When Xiaoyun heard this, her face glowed. Yongnian turned to her and spoke rudely, "Young Master will be needing his morning tea." Xiaoyun almost jumped. She immediately hurried towards the kitchen, but Yongnian chided her again. " You should make yourself presentable first." She realized she had just woken up, and her hair was messy. She almost went in front of Han Cai. With this look, she felt embarrassed and ran back to her room hurriedly.
Soon, maid Xiaoyun brought tea for Han Cai.
She came fully prepared, with delicate features and a petite figure. Her long, silky black hair was falling in loose waves down her back, and her almond-shaped eyes were a deep brown that sparkled with a hint of mischief. Her skin was smooth and porcelain-like, with a natural blush that highlighted her high cheekbones. Her lips are full and plump, and she has a small nose and delicate jawline. Her features were classically beautiful, with a hint of Eastern charm. Her delicate curves were accentuated by her traditional maid clothing, which consisted of a long, flowing robe that fell to her ankles.
She gracefully walked towards Han Cai, holding a tray of tea in her hands. Her movements were fluid and elegant; every step was like a dance. She kept the tea set down and poured Han Cai. After serving him tea, she stood a little farther away, waiting for Han Cai to look up.
When the tea arrived, Han Cai looked up at Xiaoyun. He noticed how prepared she was today; She was trying to beat him in his own game of charm. If he did not know her true nature, he might really have fallen for her charms. He clicked on the subordinate tab through the system. It showed in deeply in love with the host.
Han Cai contemplated that he should treasure his subordinates, be they a Karen or a poisoning psychopath; they were his subordinates now.
While contemplating, Han Cai was still looking at Xiaoyun. Her face started to turn red. Han Cai had never looked at her this long. Han Cai suddenly asked, "Xiaoyun, Join me for tea."
Butler Yongnian, who was cleaning a pond a little further away from them, almost fell into it after hearing this.
Han Cai noticed Yonginan's reaction too.
He spoke to Yongnian, "Yongnian, join us for tea."
Yongnian was going to say," How can I, young master.."
But Han Cai stopped him, saying, " Don't start with formal bull-crap; let's enjoy morning tea together."
Yongnian and Xiaoyun came and sat opposite Han Cai and served themselves tea. From time to time, whenever they looked at each other, you could see an electric spark. Xiaoyun was especially angry because she was going to have alone time during tea with Han Cai, which this old man ruined.

After finishing tea with his subordinates, Han Cai got up. Left for the meditation room. He had earned some trade points from a Spirit Embroyo Realm cultivator. He needed to make wise use of that money.
**************************************************
A few weeks after Han Cai returned from his mission in Raven City,
A piece of new news started making rounds throughout the whole Yin country. The ruling elite of Yin was stunned by the news. In any influential group or family in the country, you would hear rumors about it. The news was that one of the main cities of the Yang family, Ravenfall, was attacked.
A mansion on the upper level of the city that was under the control of the Yang family was ravaged. It was not a normal assassination attack, but it was a full-scale war. The battle cries were heard even hundreds of miles away from the city. The Yang family had many enemies, but no one had dared to attack them in such a bold manner before. The family was now in a state of shock and panic as they scrambled to figure out who could have orchestrated such an attack and how they could retaliate.
It all began twenty days ago; one soul formation cultivator, three nascent soul cultivators, thirty golden core, and fifty core formation cultivators attacked the Yang family's stronghold in Raven City. They chose one mansion specifically to ravage.
While attacking, all of them yelled, " Feel our wrath for offending our young master and our Jedi family!"
Before the Yang family could understand what was going on, they were attacked with the full force of the other party. No one knew how the attacking party entered the defenses of the city or mansion. There were two nascent soul cultivators in that mansion who fought back, trying to defend themselves, But they could only occupy three nascent souls who had attacked; the soul formation level cultivator attacked and entered the mansion with ease. The guards of the mansion were occupied by golden core and core formation-level attackers.
When the situation turned dire, one of the esteemed guests from the Yang family, who was at the Spirit Embryo Realm visiting the city, took action. He fought and defeated the cultivator at the level of soul formation. He also helped the nascent souls of the Yang family in defeating the three from the attacker's side.
But before they could capture the attackers, all of the attackers yelled in unison, " Don't offend our young master ever again, or our JEDI FAMILY WILL RETURN," and all of them disappeared. By the time they disappeared, not only the mansion but also the upper level of the city was in ruins.
