Here We Are [Scum Villain's Self Saving System] LiuShen

Chapter 2: Visits

Despite the twins uneasiness towards An YueXi and how they were dragged to Tian Gong Mountain without their consent – both of them were literally carried like a sack of potatoes as if they weight nothing to the Peak Lord – and how much Shen Jiu screamed murder and protested that this was kidnapping instead of an invitation to be a disciple while they flew on her spiritual sword.

Before the two could gather themselves when they landed, she dragged them inside a grand building. The doubts in their mind regarding her identity was immediately wiped clean. There was certainly no denying it that she was a part of the number and by how people act around her it was obvious she held authority.

The people patrolling the area saluted at her upon seeing her and hastily moved away from their path as if they were avoiding something fast even though they were walking down the grand halls briskly on a leisure pace.

"Zhangmen-Xishiong!" An YueXi chirped as she opened the door leading to a bedroom where a lone man stood, still in the process of removing his outer robes.

"An-Shidi" The man huffed indignantly, pulling back his robes properly on. "While this shixiong is happy to see you back way too soon, can't this wait until tomorrow when—" he trailed off when he saw two children behind her.

The twins felt overly conscious of his intimidating gaze, especially since they were quite a sight, both of them had blood stains all over, they unconsciously tried to hide behind An YueXi.

"Explain." Was all he said when he sat next to the low table. An YueXi followed and sat across him with practiced grace leaving the twins awkwardly standing there.

"These two got Wu YanZi before me. I see they have great potential and I want them to be my student which is why I brought them back here."

The man pinched the bridge of his nose looking like he was having a very bad headache. He seemed like he wanted to say a lot of things but only sighed heavily before he turned his attention back to the siblings.

He stared at them for a little longer this time as if searching for answers, making the twins more uncomfortable than they already are. They couldn't help but flinch involuntarily when he finally spoke again. "I can see why you want them though."

The man's brow furrowed upon their reaction. He gave An YueXi another pointed look who in turn smiled serenely back at him like nothing was wrong. He looked up, praying for patience, he was so tired of dealing with her who does whatever she wants yet doesn't want to deal with the consequences and kept pushing the job onto him.

He chose to ignore her.

"I understand that the two of you must be really confused at the moment but there's no need to be afraid." he said in a warm tone that would help to ease the two children's distress. "Forgive my Shidi for being too excitable and failing in doing the proper steps - like a normal person - but allow me to make amends for it."

Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan looked at each other not knowing how to react. As 'former' slaves they were used to people talking to them as if they were dirt, even if someone did talk to them nicely, they would always have ulterior motives. But the man in front of them gave them no since of malice, all his words were genuine, no one had ever spoke to them in such way.

"This Master is called Han YueFeng, I am the Peak Lord of Qiong Ding Peak and Sect Leader of Cang Qiong Sect. May I know your names?"

The two of the immediately paled in learning the identity of the man before them and hastily bowed down.

"This one is called Shen Jiu, Sect Master Han." Shen Jiu answered, hoping his voice sounded relatively composed.

"T-This one is called Shen Yuan, Sect Master Han!" Shen Yuan stammers.
