Chapter 46: 046: Grandpa Long

    Following their lunch, Tai Yang, Yue Xuexia, and Tan Shenyu, along with his two subordinates, went to the Mystic Guardian Security Company building. Tan Shenyu personally escorted the two guests to the CEO office and even gave them coffee, his eyes lingering longer on the attractive young woman, Yue Xuexia, who is now adding a lot of milk and syrup to her coffee—clearly the type of person who could not drink black coffee.

    Tai Yang blocked Tan Shenyu''s line of sight and said through voice transmission, {Keep staring and I will dig your eyes out!}

    Tan Shenyu was once again surprised and immediately stopped staring at Yue Xuexia. He finally brought out the transfer of authority papers for Yue Xuexia to sign.

    "These are the transfers of authority. Please sign them. From today onward, Miss Yue will be the owner of Mystic Guardian Security Company and will follow your commands," Tan Shenyu declared.

    Yue Xuexia didn''t sign the papers right away and asked, "When you first saw me, you obviously had no intention of accepting me as your owner. Is my acupuncture useful for your cultivation?"

    "The Mistress knows... about the existence of cultivators in this world," Tan Shenyu said.

    Yue Xuexia nonchalantly signed the papers and responded, "Because of Yangyang''s existence, since he exists, how can cultivators not exist? Gods need merit and faith, while cultivators need resources. I can give you resources, so you agree to serve me."

    "The Mistress is correct. Cultivators exist all over the world, and beings like werewolves, vampires, and demons also exist the same as gods," Tan Shenyu said. "Your acupuncture is world-class, my lady. If others learned about you, they would be in great danger. We will protect you and everyone important to you. We will also follow all your commands. As for our salary, money is okay but resources like pills are better. My lady, you know how to refine pills, don''t you? You have the scent of herbs on you."

    "Okay. Your salary would be sent monthly together with some pills. As for what kind of pills, it would depend on my mood. Is that okay?" Yue Xuexia said.

    Tan Shenyu was delighted and immediately bowed his head towards Yue Xuexia, extremely thankful for her kindness.

    Yue Xuexia said, "My family are ordinary people. I want some people to protect them secretly. Most people who live in the Central Region of our subdivision are my relatives. I want protection for them too. Also, my grandmother..."

    "You will also protect her every time she comes out of the house, especially when I am not around. If you fail, you know what will happen to you and your people," Tai Yang said. His aura was intimidating as he looked down on Tan Shenyu. This is clearly a warning for him and his people.

    Tan Shenyu said, "I swear to protect my lady with our lives."

    "That''s okay. So... do you need my help?" asked Yue Xuexia. This question started with two men in the room.

    "Xue''er!?"

    For such humans, Tai Yang thought, she was being too generous; they would never even consider the consequences of eliminating others for their own selfish ends; cultivators perish for resources, just as birds perish for food and mortals for wealth.

    Yue Xuexia ignored Tai Yang and said, "I can only heal and make pills. Aside from that, there is nothing I have except for money. Is there someone on your side that needs immediate healing? If you believe in me, I can help."

    This is coming from a Divine Doctor who can clear someone of meridians with a single needle poke. It is more likely that she could heal even a cultivator. Naturally, Tan Shenyu stood up at the sound of her words and instantly bent down to bow before Yue Xuexia.

    Tan Shenyu said, "Mistress! Please save my daughter! She had been in a coma for a very long time and all doctors from our aide said she can''t be saved anymore. Please... Please, my lady."

    "I don''t have any plans today. Shall we go?" Yue Xuexia said.

    The system said, [Protect her no matter what!]

    When the old man dressed in Tang clothes entered and walked toward them, Tai Yang was fully aware of his surroundings and on guard when, all of a sudden, he turned his head and glared towards the nearby building''s roof. All of the snipers on the roof passed out from the pressure of Tai Yang''s glare, as his aura was enough to overwhelm mortals.

    As expected, as soon as the snipers fainted, a soldier whispered to the old man, making him frown for a moment.

    The old man in the Tang suit said, "I don''t know how those subordinates of mine offended you, but I do apologize for it."

    "They fainted for a while. It''s because I felt bloodlust that I had to do it. I won''t forgive anyone or anything that may harm Xue''er," Tai Yang said.

    Most children and ladies would be afraid of his face, but this girl stares at him straight in the eyes, looking innocent, and her hands keep moving to put dessert in her mouth. The old man looked at the young man, then glanced at the fearless lady, who continued to eat even in his presence, and felt amazed and bewildered at the same time.

    "I think your girl is going to finish all your food if this continues."

    When Tai Yang suddenly spun around after hearing the elderly man''s admonition about needing food, he noticed Yue Xuexia staring at him naively while holding an empty box that had formerly held brownies; the other boxes were nearly empty as well.

    Taiyang yells, "AAHHH!!! You didn''t leave some for me!"

    Gulps!! Munches...

    Yue Xuexia shook her head, indicating that what he had said was incorrect, but her mouth was full and she only reached into her bag and took out several more boxes, one of which contained baked macaroni and pesto, which made the young man''s eyes light up.

    Tai Yang''s eyes brightened and he grabbed a box. "Xue''er I know you love me the most!"

    "Yes, I know how big your stomach is," Yue Xuexia said as she wiped her mouth. Her snack time was done after she finished those pastries and desserts.

    Now, as Tai Yang ate his fill of the food she had just taken out of her bag (inventory), she turned to face the stern-looking old guy in front of her.

    Yue Xuexia remained calm and asked, "How may I help you?"

    "Little Lass, you don''t seem to be afraid of this old man?"

    "That''s because, Grandpa, you feel a bit like Grandpa Tian," Yue Xuexia said.

    Although most people only knew Tian Qiuji as the owner of the Autumn International Bank, those in Upper Echelon knew him as a notoriously picky and grumpy old man. The old man in Tang Suit narrowed his eyes at Yue Xuexia and laughed as if he heard something funny once Tian Qiuji''s name was mentioned.

    It is even rarer to find a youngster who can call that old man grandpa despite not being born into the Tian family. He is too wealthy and has an asset that can be compared to the budget of the whole country. Of course, he also has a tight connection with the military, and this old man before Yue Xuexia and Tai Yang is one of them.

    HAHAHAHA~

    "Since Lao Tian allowed you to call him Grandpa, then you can also call this old man Grandpa Long."

    "Okay, Grandpa Long!" Yue Xuexia obediently did as she was told. Who wouldn''t like her? She was such an honest, courageous, and confident child that there was not even any uncertainty in her tone, which made the older people appreciate her even more.
