Chapter 18: Secret Storage Space (Part 2)

  The aquarium screen is just a partition, similar to a screen. Turning around the aquarium, Leixing Peak saw a person sitting on the ground, in front of him was a low table.

  That person wore a big red robe, made of unknown material, the bright color dazzling to the eyes, and on it were densely woven gold threads. Upon closer inspection, one could see that they were various flowers. His head was covered in black hair hanging down, with a face so delicate and beautiful it reached an extreme point. Thin eyebrows, thick eyelashes, his beauty exceeded that of Tang Ya, the master's wife. That face was absolutely that of a young woman, smooth and unblemished, snow-white and tender.

  Lei Xingfeng was shocked again and couldn't speak. Is this person male or female? Could it be that the ancestor is a woman?

  Gu Qi and Tang Ya bowed down together, saying in unison: "Greetings, Master."

  Lei Xingfeng didn't dare stand upright and instead knelt down, saying: "Disciple has seen Master."

  The man slowly opened his eyes, carelessly sweeping the three of them with a glance. Lei Xingfeng suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and in that instant, all the uncomfortable feelings vanished.

  "Alright, get up, is this your new apprentice?"

  The voice was neutral, but it had a magnetic quality that was very pleasant to listen to. However, Lei Xingfeng still couldn't tell whether it was male or female.

  Gucci said respectfully: "Yes, Master, this is a newly accepted apprentice."

  The ancestor said: "Very good qualifications, little guy, what's your name?"

  "My name is Lei Xingfeng."

  "En, this name is also acceptable. Your master's original name was even more unpleasant, it wasn't until he came here that he changed it. Alright, you can go down now. Little guy, if you have time, come visit me, got it?"

  Lei Xingfeng responded with a sound, he had been staring at this strange ancestor, and saw that when he finished speaking, he actually winked at himself, his appearance was absolutely disastrous, just winking like that, making Lei Xingfeng dizzy, he couldn't help but think to himself: "The ancestor is actually flirting with me? I'm going crazy, this ancestor... is it a man or a woman? Could it be an androgynous demon?"

  The three of them withdrew, and Lei Xingfeng's mind was still in a mess.

  Very soon, the three of them arrived in front and immediately a large group of slaves knelt down to greet them. Gu Qi asked: "Where is the steward?"

  Someone immediately came forward and reported: "The steward has gone to another courtyard and will be back soon."

  "Come and go to my place."

  With Lei Xingfeng, Gu Qi and Tang Ya arrived at another large courtyard, this is an extremely simple courtyard, the ground is just a lawn, no flowers or grass, the house is also very simple, all four sides are empty, with four jade stone pillars supporting a rectangular platform, on which there is only a small room, that is the master's bedroom, no stairs to go up, must fly up.

  Lei Xingfeng endured and endured, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't dare ask Gu Qi, so he asked Tang Ya in a low voice: "Master, ancestor... this... that, who is he? Who is she?" He didn't even know how to ask properly.

  Tang Ya smiled and said, "I thought you could hold out for a long time, but it turns out you also have times when you can't bear it!"

  "Stop asking, Ah Feng," Gu Qi said, "whether Master is male or female... I don't know either."

  Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn it! This ancestor is absolutely unique!"

  Tang Ya smiled and said: "We have a saying that describes your ancestor. Once you hear it, you'll know what kind of person your ancestor was."

  "What's up?" asked Leixing Peak curiously.

  Tang Ya said: "Your ancestor was... a man among women, a woman among men..."

  Lei Xingfeng was suddenly speechless, thinking to himself: "This isn't a typical human, is it?! I'm going to be sick, my ancestor is actually a... a... thing that's even more powerful than Dongfang Bubai! Is this guy... bisexual?!" As he thought this, his whole body broke out in goosebumps, and he silently lamented: "What kind of place is this, what kind of people are these?!"

  "Shut up, Master can hear you!"

  Tang Yada said: "Master won't punish me for this, hehe, Master is the most fun."

  Lei Xingfeng decided to stop thinking about these things, who cares if it's a man or a woman, as long as it's human, that's enough. This is coming to pay respects, not to get married, he quickly let go of his concerns. Coming here was to learn from the master, not to entangle with whether the ancestor was a man or a beauty, this has little to do with oneself.

  The master's house was simple, yet extremely large. The floor was also made of white jade and polished to a high gloss, very flat. There were over a hundred servants standing around, among whom many had considerable strength. Even Lei Xingfeng couldn't see through them. He was shocked to discover that there were people who might be above the fourth ring true body, yet they were serving as servants here, which was shocking to hear.

  Someone reported: "The steward is coming!"

  He was a tall and handsome middle-aged man, wearing a sky blue robe, who walked in with his head held high and his chest out. Unlike the slaves, he did not kneel down but instead bowed slightly and said: "Master, I have arrived."

  Gu Qi nodded and said, "Ai Ba, this is my disciple, yes, direct disciple. Lei Xingfeng, you can just call him A Feng." He then turned to Lei Xingfeng and said, "A Feng, this is our household's steward, Ai Ba. He possesses a Nine-Ringed True Body and is known as the Cyan Seal True Man. You can address him as Ai Bo. He is not a servant, but rather a house minister."

  Yi Ba's face broke into a warm smile as he said, "Congratulations, Master, you've taken in another good disciple."

  Gu Qi said: "There are some rules to tell A Feng, and you arrange a courtyard to let A Feng temporarily live in it. Rebuild a residence, ask clearly what A Feng likes, and build according to his instructions."

  "Assign four house officials to Ah Feng, 240 slaves and servants. Also, select ten guards with at least six-ring True Body cultivation or above. Hmm, assign two eight-ring True Body personal guards."

  Tang Yadao said: "Assign a housekeeper to Ah Feng, suddenly so many people, he doesn't know how to manage either."

  "Get a clever butler for him," said Gu Qi, nodding. "A'Feng is still young, don't let him be bullied."

  Lei Xingfeng was stunned, listening to the series of surprises, shocks, and weirdness that had already numbed him. But when he arrived here, he was still shocked beyond measure. He alone was assigned so many slaves, guards, even vassals and stewards. Fortunately, having lived two lifetimes, although his face showed a surprised expression, he controlled himself well, maintaining a calm demeanor. In reality, he had already lost all sense of direction.

  The amount of information is a bit large, and it's all in areas that I'm not familiar with, so I need some time to digest it.

  Ai Ba responded with a "yes" and left with Lei Xingfeng, while Gu Qi called out from behind: "A Feng, settle down first and come over for a visit. If there's anything you need, just instruct your butler!"

  Lei Xingfeng responded with a "yes", at this time, he was still very grateful to this master.

  Yi Ba brought Lei Xingfeng to a courtyard, where the courtyards were connected one after another, and it was unknown how many there were. Lei Xingfeng could confirm that there were at least hundreds of large courtyards here, each one more beautiful than the last, and all far surpassing the villa of his previous life.

  The courtyard was a bit simpler, with just one house, a large area of neatly trimmed trees and flowers. Ai Ba didn't take Lei Xingfeng into the room, but instead came to the lawn, instructing people to lay out a carpet on the lawn, set up a low table, and bring over some fruit platters, all containing fresh fruit.

  Invite Lei Xingfeng to sit down, Ai Ba begins to introduce the specific situation here, such as what is a house minister, what is a guard, what is a slave, and what is a steward. These are not well understood by Lei Xingfeng, and in his two lifetimes, he has never used a single slave, let alone guards, house ministers, and stewards.

  To put it simply, a slave is someone with no status, whose life and death are decided by their master's whim. The steward's position is extremely high, followed by the housekeeper, then the guards. Everything here is decided by Lei Xingfeng, except for having to listen to Gu Qi Shifu and Tang Ya Shifu, no one else needs to be taken into account, not even Da Shixiong can control him, of course, the Patriarch's power is the greatest.

  This made Leixingfeng very happy, he also didn't want too many people to come and restrict himself, being free was the best.

  "This is a secret space created by the old master. It's a very secluded place, but if you want to leave, at least six-ring true body is required."

  Lei Xingfeng was secretly anxious, this place is not suitable for cultivation, he'd better go to the thunderstorm rain to cultivate, in order to grow rapidly.

  He asked: "If I go out, but my cultivation is still not at the Six-Ring True Body level... what should I do?"

  Yi Ba Dao said: "You just need to instruct the housekeeper to arrange it for you."

  Lei Xingfeng suddenly remembered a question and said: "Right, Fourth Sister and Sixth Sister, why didn't you bring your stewards and house ministers?"

  Ai Ba sighed and said, "Those two... like to fight each other, of course they can't bring their family servants and guards to fight... bringing family servants and guards to fight is mutual destruction, they won't choose that."

  Lei Xingfeng was speechless, just liking to fight, at Lüdang, indirectly killing 30,000 people, his own small boat was burned, if not for himself quickly advancing in the thunderstorm, possessing Grandfather Lei's Thunder Seal, I'm afraid he would have been half dead.

  Yi Ba Dao said: "What kind of residence and courtyard do you want? I can arrange for people to build it."

  Lei Xingfeng shook his head, he didn't have that intention at all, as long as he could live there it was fine. In the past on the small boat, he also slept very well and didn't care about the good or bad of the environment. He said: "No need, here is not bad, no need to build a house again."

  Ai Ba Dao said: "A Feng, here, having a place to live is a status. Without status, you won't have choices and will be looked down upon by your subordinates."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Is it really... the more luxurious, the higher the status?"

  "It's not that, but rather the more unique it is, the higher others will look at it."

  Lei Xingfeng muttered to himself, "What's this? Alright, I'm not without ideas either. Maybe I don't know about other things, but when it comes to being unique, I absolutely have more uniqueness than you guys!"
