YM778.TV Chapter 93: Farewell to Maids
Shen Yuxin and the others also nodded their heads as they felt that they were over-worrying for him.
Shen Yuan soon folded the map and placed it inside his inventory. He smiled warmly towards the three women, "I know you guys are worried but I\'m capable of handling myself now."
Shen Yuxin smiled softly, "We know that Yuan\'er. It\'s just… we can\'t help but worry since you haven\'t left home alone. And the cultivation world is far too dangerous."
Huo Rong and Bing Rong nodded in agreement. They continued chatting as Yue Lan also chimed in from time to time.
…
Shen Yuan stood up as he stretched, "Alright, then it\'s decided. I will leave tomorrow in the morning towards the Aurora Zone and you three will cultivate in the Dual Cultivation Chambers."
Shen Yuxin glanced at him with a gentle smile, "We will prepare some things for your journey. And we still have to settle the mansion and send away the maids."
Shen Yuan nodded in agreement, "Alright, I will leave the mansion\'s preparation to you, Mom. As for the maids, we can give them a good sum of money to settle in somewhere. We won\'t be returning here for a long time and they have served us quite well."
Huo Rong spoke to him, her voice filled with a teasing tone, "You sure you don\'t want to keep a few around, Yuan\'er? All of them seem pretty fond of you." She raised an eyebrow, clearly talking about the earlier discussion between the maids in the morning.
Shen Yuan chuckled slightly, "I think they have had enough excitement for one lifetime."
Bing Rong also spoke up in agreement, "I think it\'s better if we gave them some treasures and spirit stones to settle down. With you traveling around and us in seclusion, it wouldn\'t be safe to keep them around."
Shen Yuxin also nodded in agreement, "I agree. So with that decided, Shen Yuan will be the one to send away the maids. You also have a lot of treasures and spirit stones to spare."
She also had a mischievous spark in her eyes as she joined Huo Rong in teasing him.
Shen Yuan shook his head slightly with a smile, "Alright, I will settle the maids, you don\'t have to worry about them."
Yue Lan\'s voice echoed in Shen Yuan\'s mind,
[You know, I don\'t think some of them would mind joining your harem either.]
Shen Yuan groaned inwardly, \'I can\'t even dual cultivate with two of my harem members right now and you want me to add more?\'
Yue Lan instantly replied,
[Hoh, so if you were able to dual cultivate with them you would have taken them with you?]
Shen Yuan got silent as even he didn\'t know if he would let the chance pass by. After All even the mansion maids were geniuses in the outside world.
[I was just reminding you because more harem members means more Chaos Coins.]
Yue Lan then told him about his intentions. Shen Yuan mentally waved her off and returned his focus to the conversation with his family. ƜᏙᏞƎ*ϺƤҮЯ
"Alright," he clapped his hands lightly, "Let\'s make sure everything is settled by tonight so that I can start fresh in the morning."
Shen Yuxin stood up as she spoke, "I will take care of the mansion. Huo Rong and Bing Rong, you two should prepare for the seclusion, it will take us some time to adjust to the Dual Cultivation Chambers."
Huo Rong and Bing Rong agreed, standing up to get started on their task. As they made their way towards the exit of the garden, Shen Yuan caught Huo Rong\'s hand and pulled her close for a hug.
"It will be a while before we see each other. I will miss you." He said softly, kissing her forehead.
Huo Rong blushed slightly, she smiled as she patted his chest, "Don\'t worry, you can visit me whenever you want inside the Dual Cultivation Chambers." She winked at him at the end of her words.
Shen Yuan chuckled softly as he turned toward Bing Rong, who gave him a soft smile. He hugged her too, whispering softly, "Take care of yourself, Sister Bing."
"I will," Bing Rong blushed slightly as she nodded her head softly.
As the two left to prepare, Shen Yuxin lingered behind, watching them leave with a warm smile. She then turned towards Shen Yuan. "It\'s really hard to let you go alone in the outside world but I know you will do just fine.\'
Shen Yuan smiled, pulling his mother in a gentle hug, "I\'ll be fine, Mom. No need to worry so much."
Shen Yuxin nodded lightly as she rested her head on his chest for a moment.
They stayed like this for a moment, "You should now go and settle things with the maids. I will go and prepare for the rest."
Shen Yuan nodded and gently pulled away, "Then I will do that." He kissed her on the forehead, making her smile happily.
He turned around to leave the room. Shen Yuxin also left the room to make preparations.
…
Shen Yuan made his way back to the manor, preparing to gather all the maids in the main hall and preparing for what would most likely be a farewell.
Despite the light teasing from his family earlier, he knew that these women had been loyal to his family for decades, and it would feel strange to not have them around any longer.
As he entered the main hall, he found Mei Ling, the head maid, already waiting for him with the other maids behind her. It seems someone among his family already told them to gather here for him.
"Young Master Yuan," All the other maids greeted him with a bow as Mei Ling asked with a polite tone, "We have heard that you are preparing to leave the mansion. Is there anything we can do to help with the preparations?"
Shen Yuan smiled warmly at her, "Thank you, Mei Ling and everyone. You all have done amazingly for our family in the past, but it is now time for a farewell.\' he paused slightly,
"I\'m preparing to leave for a long journey, and the rest of the family will be entering in Closed-Door Seclusion for a while. It wouldn\'t be fair to keep you all here locked up when there won\'t even be anyone to serve."
The maids exchanged glances among themselves, clearly saddened with the news but they understood that it was bound to happen someday.
Mei Ling spoke up again, her tone gentle, "We understand, Young Master Yuan. It has been an honor to serve you and your family. But… is there truly no way for us to remain by your side? Or serve your family? We would gladly continue serving you, no matter what that may take from us."
Shen Yuan looked at them, each of them showing their loyalty in their expression. He thought back to Yue Lan\'s teasing earlier and sighed inwardly, he asked Yue Lan, \'Can we keep them inside the Dual Cultivation Chambers?\'
