Chapter 1017: Chapter 129 Zhao Linger_4
“I mean, your status is noble, and every time you personally go to the market to sell these items, it’s somewhat inappropriate…”
Zhao Linger said anxiously, “If possible, I could run errands for you, and I can do other miscellaneous tasks as well…”
“Forget it…”
Zhao Yu directly shook his head. He didn’t like unfamiliar people around him.
Especially someone like Zhao Linger, who had once betrayed Zhao Linglong, and had a history of abandoning friends, was even more inappropriate.
Unbeknownst to him, Liu Wenxuan gently nudged him on the side.
Zhao Yu turned his head, and Liu Wenxuan cooed, “Zhao Yu, she does make some sense. I have to personally sell those items every time and have to bear the customers’ attitudes; it’s really tiring…”
“Why don’t we keep her to help me with some of the chores? What do you think?”
Zhao Yu knew the kind of person Liu Wenxuan was and knew she wasn’t someone who feared hardships.
The reason for keeping Zhao Linger was probably motivated by the thought of revenge for him.
After all, there was a time when he was Zhao Linger’s servant, and now, Zhao Linger, in turn, becoming his servant resolved some of his concerns and balanced his mindset.
If it were someone else, this would naturally be possible, but he was not a real fool.
However, since Liu Wenxuan meant well, he could not bear to refuse.
“You decide!” Zhao Yu shrugged.
Liu Wenxuan nodded, turned to Zhao Linger, and said, “You see, Zhao Yu doesn’t want outsiders to disturb him, but I need a maid to run errands here. If you’re willing, I can decide to keep you…”
“I’m willing!”
Before Liu Wenxuan could finish, Zhao Linger eagerly agreed, her face even showing a hint of glee.
Ever since Zhao Yu became famous ten years ago, she had been paying attention to him.
She later discovered that Liu Wenxuan, who followed Zhao Yu, had risen in cultivation level quickly, reaching the later stages of the Foundation Establishment in just ten years.
Moreover, as he often went out to sell alchemy pills and magical artifacts that were second-tier, upper-rank items, this had captured her interest.
Even before coming here, she had thought that if she were willing to become a servant, Zhao Yu would likely agree.
After all, who could refuse the thrill of having someone who was once their master become their servant?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu wasn’t interested in this, but instead, the person by his side was keen on the idea.
In the following days, to Zhao Yu’s surprise, Zhao Linger adapted well to her role, serving tea and water with a submissive demeanor.
This made Zhao Yu realize that she might have thought of these things even before coming to him.
However, having Zhao Linger around or not didn’t matter to him; his daily life continued as usual.
As for Sun Lele, he was even more reclusive than Zhao Yu, only leaving with Liu Wenxuan when he needed materials for alchemy, and spending his other time staring blankly in his room.
A year passed like this, and Zhao Linger gradually adjusted to life here. Compared to when she first arrived, Liu Wenxuan’s attitude toward her had improved a lot, and they often addressed each other as sisters.
Of course, Zhao Linger hadn’t forgotten her tasks; she still went to the market to sell magical artifacts and alchemy pills.
In return, Liu Wenxuan provided her with some alchemy pills to support her cultivation.
In just one year, although Zhao Linger had not reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, her Spiritual Power had increased significantly, which was much better compared to her lack of progress over the previous ten years.
Of course, she still had a long way to go compared to Liu Wenxuan soaking in alchemy products.
In just one year, Liu Wenxuan had progressed from the later stages of Foundation Establishment to the peak, and was now ready to advance to the Golden Core Stage.
She herself didn’t place much importance on this and even thought of letting Zhao Yu advance to the Golden Core Stage before considering her own advancement.
Unbeknownst to her, Zhao Yu had actively prepared various spiritual items and aids for her breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.
Over the past decade, Zhao Yu had earned quite a lot of Spirit Stones as a second-tier, upper-rank Alchemist and Artifact Refiner, plus the resources he could obtain as a top seed of the Foundation Establishment Stage were plentiful.
For Zhao Yu, he could attempt to break through to the Golden Core Stage at any time; after more than a decade of accumulation, his energy was enough to let him advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.
This was still because Liu Wenxuan was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the energy she could provide was limited.
If Liu Wenxuan reached the Golden Core Stage, the energy she could provide would double again.
This was also why Zhao Yu wanted Liu Wenxuan to advance to the Golden Core Stage first.
Especially since advancing to the Golden Core Stage right now wouldn’t benefit him much, but rather, he would lose his seed status and once again be targeted by the Duan Yinghong couple.
Over the years, although he had stayed home, he had been informed about the outside world through his connection with Wu Yong, and he knew the Duan Yinghong couple hadn’t given up.
The main reason being that they had not found the true culprit who killed their son, so they could only vent their anger on Zhao Yu.
After all, among those who had dealings with the Huang couple, except for Zhao Yu, all were dead.
On these grounds, Zhao Yu persuaded Liu Wenxuan to advance to the Golden Core Stage first.
After hearing this, Liu Wenxuan no longer objected and began preparing wholeheartedly for her breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.
Her actions, of course, were clearly seen by Zhao Linger, who felt both envious and jealous.
Zhao Linger even thought that if she had discovered Zhao Yu’s extraordinariness earlier, maybe she would be the one advancing to the Golden Core Stage now.
