nBook 5 Chapter 18: Hidden Space (2)

nThe aquarium acted like a wall, its purpose similar to a screen, walking around the tank, XinFeng noticed a person seated on the floor, before him was a short table.

nWearing a large red robe made of unknown materials, it was a gaudy red color infused with fine gold thread that could be seen after careful observation, in the design of many flowers. Black hair flowed from his head, covering a flirtatious, beautiful face with thin fine brows and long eyelashes, her beauty was at the peak of perfection, definitely surpassing master’s wife Tanya, that face was definitely one of a young woman’s. Tender, yet white as snow.

nXinFeng was once again shocked speechless, was this a man or a woman? Was senior master a woman?

nGuqi and Tanya both kneeled, the two of them speaking in harmony, “We pay our respects to master.”

nXinFeng dared not to just watch, he similarly kneeled in respect, “Disciple pays his respects to senior master.”

nThat person slowly opened his

/her eyes, lazily glancing at the three of them as XinFeng felt a chill, but in an instant, the discomfort suddenly disappeared.

n“Alright, get up. Is this your new disciple?”

nThat voice was very attracting and soothing to the ear, but still the owner’s gender was ambiguous.

nGuqi spoke respectfully, “Yes, master, this is my new disciple.”

nSenior master spoke, “Decent potential, little guy, what’s your name?”

nXinFeng answered, “My name is Lei Xin Feng.”

nSenior master spoke, “En, this name is fine, your master’s original name was so bad I had to change it when he came, alright, you can leave. Little fellow, if you have the time come and visit senior master, okay?”

nXinFeng nodded in agreement, he had been looking at this strange master the entire time, as he had finished speaking, he actually winked at XinFeng. His appearance alone could definitely bring countries to ruin, with just a wink, he made XinFeng dizzy. XinFeng could not help but think to himself, “Senior master actually winked at me? Shit, this senior master……is it a guy, or a girl……could it be a trap who’s neither?”

n(Puttty: At this point the author uses he to refer to him.)

nAs the three of them left, XinFeng’s mind was still in chaos.

nQuickly, the three of them walked forward and immediately a large group of servants kneeled in welcome. Guqi asked, “Where’s the manager?”

nImmediately someone reported, “The manager went to another courtyard, he will return immediately.”

n“When he’s here, bring him to me.” Guqi instructed.

nBringing XinFeng, Guqi came to another large yard, an extremely simple one with only grass decorating it, without a single other plant. The house was also very simple, empty on all sides, with four jade columns holding up a rectangular platform with a single room in it. That was the bedroom of the master and his wife, with no stairs leading up to it, the only method of reaching it was flying.

nXinFeng was finding it hard to contain his curiosity, but he eventually lost and asked Tanya softly, not daring to ask Guqi, “Master, senior master……that……this, he……her……” He didn’t know how to ask.

nTanya laughed, “And here I was estimating how long you could bear it, so even you have times when you act like this!”

nGuqi spoke, “Don’t ask, ah Feng, even I don’t know……master’s gender.”

nXinFeng could not help but cuss, **! This senior master must definitely have a gender.

nTanya smiled, “We have a word to describe your senior master, you’ll understand when you hear it.”

nXinFeng asked curiously, “What?”

nTanya spoke, “Your master……a manly woman, womanly man……”

nXinFeng was speechless, thinking in his heart, “Isn’t this the stereotypical trap! Shit, my senior master is actually a trap, e, isn’t he a character surpassing DongFang Bubai, this fellow….could he be…a player for both sides?” Thinking up to here, goosebumps appeared all over his body as he thought sadly, “What the ** is this place, what he ** is with these people!”

n(Puttty: DongFang Bubai is a famous Chinese character for having a castration and a gender ambiguous face.)

nGuqi scolded, “Don’t speak nonsense, master can hear us!”

nTanya laughed, “Master won’t punish me for this, xixi, master is the best.”

nXinFeng decided to forget this, no matter his gender, he’s still a person. He’s here to pay his respects to his master, not date, he’ll be done with this soon, since he’s here to learn, not figure out genders, this matter doesn’t have to do much with him.”

nMaster’s room was very simple, yet big. Its floor was similarly made of white jade, extremely flat and even with servants surrounding every direction, all of which had decent strength that even XinFeng couldn’t see through. He shockingly noticed that everyone here probably had four true ring bodies and even more shocking, they were actually acting as servants.

nA servant announced, “The manager is here!”

nThe aforementioned person was a tall and extremely handsome man, wearing a sky blue robe. With his head held high he walked over. He was different from the other servants, instead of kneeling, he bowed in respect, “Master, I’m here.”

nGuqi nodded, “Aiba, this is the disciple I’ve taken in, en, direct disciple, Lei Xin Feng, you can call him Ah Feng.” He turned to XinFeng, “Ah Feng, this is the manager here, Aiba, a True Yin Ashen Master, you can call him Aiba, he isn’t a servant, but a retainer.

nAiba revealed a warm smile, “Congratulations master, you’ve taken in a good disciple again.”

nGuqi spoke, “Inform XinFeng of the rules here, also, arrange a yard for him to live temporality, and build a new one to his liking in the meantime.”

n“Give Ah Feng four retainers, two hundred and forty servants, also choose ten guards with at least a true ring body, en, prepare two with eight true ring bodies for around the clock protection.”

nTanya spoke, “Give Ah Feng a manager, with so many people appearing suddenly, he won’t know what to do.”

nGuqi nodded, “Get a smart manager, Ah Feng’s still young, don’t let him suffer.”

nXinFeng looked on blankly, a road full of amazement and shock had made him numb, but here, he was still shocked again. He, one person, had actually been assigned so many servants, guards, and even a manager and retainers. Luckily, he was a man of two worlds, though he had a shocked expression in his face, he still controlled himself well, with a steady outer appearance, but he was actually shocked to no end.

nThe presented information was abundant and out of the range of his knowledge, he needed time to digest it.

nAiba made a sound of agreement and left with XinFeng, but not before Guqi shouted from behind, “Ah Feng, when you’re all settles down, if there’s anything, just ask your manager to do it!”

nXinFeng nodded, he was extremely grateful to this master.”

nAiba brought XinFeng to a courtyard, there were countless courtyards here, which XinFeng estimated to reach numbers of a hundred, each of them were very beautiful, surpassing the villas of his past life.

nThis courtyard was much simpler, just a house and a large neatly cut yard with trees, flowers and grass. Aiba didn’t lead XinFeng to a room, but to the grass, ordering servants to place a rug, a short table and a plate full of fruits.

nInviting XinFeng to sit, Aiba started to introduce the general situation of this place, like what was the position of a manager, a guard, a servant, a retainer, all of which XinFeng was at a loss on. In his two lives, he never had a servant, much less a guard or a retainer.

nSimply said, a servant had no status, their life and death depended on the whim of their owner. A manager had the highest position, followed by the retainers, and lastly the guards. Everything here was under XinFeng’s command, unless they heard from Guqi or Tanya, they would never disobey him, even the senior disciples were ignored, and of course, the senior master had the highest authority.

nThis made XinFeng feel happy, he didn’t wish for too many people to command him, to be able to live freely was the best.

nAiba spoke, “This is a Hidden Space, opened by the old owner, it is extremely safe, but to leave one must achieve cultivating a True body.”

nXinFeng was anxious, this place wasn’t suited for training, he needed lightning storms so he could grow quickly.

nHe asked, “If I want to leave without the reaching the cultivation of True body…….what should I do?”

nAiba spoke, “Just inform your manager to take care of it for you.”

nXinFeng suddenly thought of a question, “Right, forth senior sister and senior sister, why didn’t they bring their retainers and managers?”

nAiba sighed, “The two of them……really like arguing, of course they won’t bring their retainers and guards……if they brought them to fight, then it’s just a waste of lives, of course they would choose to not do so.”

nXinFeng was speechless, they simply liked fighting each other. In the reed marshes, they had easily killed thirty thousand men and burnt his boat, if it weren’t for the lightning storm that helped him power up and the lightning stamp grandpa gave him, then even if he didn’t die, he would have lost half his life.

nAiba asked, “What kind of a house would you like to live in? I can arrange for people to build it.”

nXinFeng shook his head, he didn’t have such a plan, simply having a house was enough, even living on the small boat, he could sleep peacefully, ignoring the state of his surroundings. He spoke, “It’s fine, this is decent, I don’t need a new house.”

nAiba replied, “Ah Feng, here, your housing is a type of status, only those without status would not choose. You’ll be looked down on.”

nXinFeng asked, “If it’s that……the more luxurious, the higher the status?”

nAiba shook his head, “Not that, the more unique, the better.”

nXinFeng thought, “What’s that? Alright, it’s not like I don’t have preferences, I may not know about a lot of things, but when it comes to unique, I’ll definitely be better!”
