"Serving the master and dedicating my life is my duty; you don’t need to worry about , Master. Focus on improving your health. You don’t eat and sleep properly, don’t cry your hair before sleep, don’t wear warm clothes at night..."
"Wait, wait, wait." Ling Yu surrendered with both hands up, "I didn’t tell you that to start your nagging, stop it."
He was really such a master at nagging, too, seriously!
"Song, you are knowledgeable in so many things. Do you happen to know anything about the underground auction of the Empire’s Black Market?" Ling Yu asked in a relaxed voice as she was kicking her feet in the air.
Butler Song’s hand stopped moving on her head as he stood still behind her for a mont, before he started drying again.
"I have been there before. Why does Master want to know that?"
"Hmm, well. I have sothing I need to get from the black market. And it would be sold off in the upcoming auction. I need an invitation if I want to enter the auction, it’s too complicated!" Ling Yu kicked the air in frustration as she complained and whined like a kid. But in reality, she acted freely in front of Song because she was comfortable around him, and he was also aware of this.
"...Master, you should contact your forr fiancée from the Capital. Being a Young Master from a big family, he might have connections to the Underworld auctions like this."
"...! I did think of that, but I’m not really fond of eting these people again." Ling Yu said as she drooped her head.
"It’s fine, Master. You don’t necessarily need to reach out to them. You’ll et them when you start your classes next week. You all study at the sa University, right?"
"Well, that’s right. I rember that guy is in his senior year at the Computer Science Departnt." Ling Yu mumbled as she calculated things inside her head.
"But Master, you also need to change this habit of spending money recklessly. Even if she is your follower, you can’t spend money behind her like water. Even if you have enough now, there will co a day when you’ll eventually run out of that. What will you do then?"
Even if he nagged so much, Ling Yu understood that he did it for her sake, because he couldn’t understand the reason for her reckless spending and draining her resources that she should be saving for herself on so random girl she t.
"Done. Your hair is all dried up. Master should get so sleep now." Butler took two steps backward as Ling Yu turned around.
"About wasting money recklessly, I can assure you that soon you’ll see so result, Song. Go get so n tomorrow and make them start mining at the back mountain." Ling Yu suggested as she yawned lazily, walking towards her bed with wobbling legs, as she was sleepy.
Ling Yu reached the bed as she flopped down on it, letting her body lose as she slowly fell asleep.
Song walked up to Ling Yu quietly as he pulled up the blankets to cover her properly, as the temperature can drop quite drastically at nightti in this place. If he doesn’t take care of her properly, she might end up with a cold tomorrow.
After that, he left the room quietly, just like that.
***
Two weeks later,
"Master, since I can’t accompany you to the University, you need to be careful and eat on ti, okay? Don’t forget your lunch or supper, rember to put on more clothes when you go to sleep. Though I don’t believe that little girl can take care of you, depend on her if you need anything at all..."
Hearing Butler Song’s nagging like an old lady, Ling Yu was speechless.
’Why do you have so much to say when I’m only going to live in the dorm for a short ti? Are you my Mom or sothing?!’
"Fine, fine, fine. Don’t worry too much, I’ll take care of myself." Ling Yu patted his back with a cheeky grin as she thought to herself.
’Don’t worry about at all. After all, I got an S-class Awakener as my bodyguard! What could even happen!’
Even after assuring him so much, when Song finally left, Ling Yu felt a little empty in her heart.
"Let’s go in and not think about such petty things anymore!" Ling Yu slapped her face lightly as she ca back to her senses. She still had a lot of things to worry about.
Fortunately, Song trusts her words and judgnt. Even though telling him to take Ye QIngxue as his apprentice and train her felt like asking him too much, he didn’t seem to mind at all.
Contrary to her expectation, Song started training Ye Qingxue diligently, using the most basic thods to cover for her lack of training.
He also made sure both of them were well fed, making them eat only the most nutritious and good food. Even Ling Yu could feel that she had gained so weight in the last few months. Though most of that energy and calories from her food were spent on her training.
Ling Yu didn’t just sit back and wait for Ye Qingxue to be trained so that she could rely on her. Rather, she also took ti from her daily schedule to train on a daily basis.
Only she can be her protector, nobody else.
Because Ling Yu was also training separately. Song also took extra care of her al and drinks. Thus, she had no problem steadily building up her power.
"Well, shall we go in?" Ling Yu said to herself as she entered through the Main Gate.
The Nanjing University of Science and Technology is famous within the Empire for its history of three hundred years and is famous for its reputation for creating great minds and people renowned throughout the Empire and outside.
Originally, in a past life, it was a group of researchers staying in the University who were the first ones to detect the abnormality of the flow of natural disasters, as well as the impending apocalypse.
