"Young Master..."

The Xiao Yi Xian felt a warmth in her heart.

Ye Lingling had already laid out the scroll, taken out paper and pen, and was about to start copying when she looked up at Xiao Yi Xian and handed her another brush.

"Thank you, Lingling."

"No need to be so polite. Since we're both working for the Young Master, it's only right that we look out for each other."

As Ye Lingling spoke, she picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to copy the text on the scroll.

Xiao Yi Xian also sat to the side, calmed her mind, and copied down the contents of the Cultivation Method together.

Standing to the side, Ya Fei witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

Seeing how generous Lu Chuan was to his subordinates, bestowing upon them Cultivation Method and resources without reservation, and how Xiao Yi Xian, a newcomer, received such preferential treatment, her eyes were filled with envy.

Unable to suppress her thoughts, Ya Fei took half a step forward, looked at Lu Chuan in front of her, and spoke with a hint of probing and initiative.

"Sir, do you need any more men? If so..."

Ya Fei's gaze was serious, her posture slightly bowed, and her attitude was very proper.

"Ya Fei has been running the auction house for many years. She is adept at recognizing people, managing affairs, and handling resource accounts. As long as you are willing to take me in, I will do my best to manage all worldly affairs, gather intelligence, and facilitate the flow of rare and precious materials for you. I will never hold you back."

I don't seek instant success; I only wish to stay by the adults' side, cultivate diligently, and steadily grow stronger.

This was not a thought she acted on impulse.

Ya Fei was just an ordinary person without any talent for cultivation, but she was born with outstanding looks and a superb figure.

Having lived in the Mittel Family for so long, she had long understood that someone like her would most likely end up being used as a bargaining chip by the family, used for marriage alliances, and exchanged for their own interests.

She was unwilling to accept this fate from the bottom of her heart. That's why she took the initiative to come to Wutan City, to gain experience as the manager of the auction house, and to look for opportunities to change her destiny.

Witnessing Lu Chuan's generosity and willingness to spare no expense on Cultivation Method and resources for his subordinates today, the long-suppressed thoughts in my heart finally surfaced.

Looking at Ya Fei's resolute expression, Lu Chuan understood her situation.

Since they've already taken the initiative to speak, why be coy?

I happen to be lacking this kind of talent, so I'll sign Ning Rongrong later.

They will each be responsible for the trading personnel in one world, and they will coordinate with the trading personnel on both sides.

In this way, all sorts of trivial matters, big and small, are handled by others, saving you a lot of energy and allowing you to relax.

Lu Chuan looked at Ya Fei and said:

"Alright, I can accept you. From now on, you will be in charge of resource scheduling and trade here."

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled down, and her face revealed undisguised joy. She quickly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you, sir!"

Ya Fei then signed a lifetime contract.

This type of contract also adds an extra layer of protection.

If Ya Fei suffers a fatal injury, or if she chooses to Teleportation, she can expend a small amount of her level to Teleportation to Lu Chuan's side to save her life.

Lu Chuan also didn't forget Ya Fei's terrible cultivation physique.

However, she was the core person who stayed in the Battle Through the Heavens World, specifically responsible for connecting people, trading resources, and navigating the relationships between various forces.

As her power grows, she will only encounter increasingly stronger individuals.

If one's own strength is too weak, not only will it be difficult to command respect, but one will also lack the ability to protect oneself in times of trouble. One can't always rely on Teleportation to one's side through trade levels to save one's life, can one?

With a thought, Lu Chuan conjured a magnificent Immortal Herb in his hand, its entire body pure white and radiating a gentle spiritual energy.

"This is the Narcissus Jade Muscles and Bones."

He handed the Immortal Herb to Ya Fei, his tone calm and composed.

"This herb is specially designed to nourish the body's Meridians, thoroughly widening your naturally narrow meridians and cleansing away worldly impurities from your body."

"Your talent for cultivation is too poor; this Immortal Herb can completely compensate for your innate deficiency."

Ya Fei bit her lower lip, solemnly extended her hands, and carefully took the Narcissus Jade Muscles and Bones.

Her eyelids drooped slightly, her long eyelashes trembled gently, and when she looked up, her gaze was soft and alluring as she looked straight at Lu Chuan.

Her fingertips didn't rush to withdraw, but gently brushed against Lu Chuan's palm, the smooth fingertips slowly grazing the back of his hand.

Holding the translucent white Immortal Herb in her palm, the gentle medicinal power slowly seeped into her body, but at this moment, most of her thoughts were focused on Lu Chuan.

"Thank you for your generous gift, sir."

Her voice was soft and gentle, and she leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between them to almost the point where their breaths could be heard. A hint of deliberate tenderness lingered in her eyes.

Lu Chuan felt the slightly warm fingertips on his hand and Ya Fei's affectionate gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Who could stand this?!

As expected of a succubus-level character in the early stages of Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens, she had a perfect sense of proportion in every gesture, yet every glance and every touch carried a seductive meaning.

Fortunately, he and Zhu Qing had already broken the virginity cultivation technique from their two lifetimes, giving them some resistance.

"Ahem... You should absorb the Immortal Herb first; we can talk about other things later."

Ya Fei's eyes flashed.

Does the adult mean they didn't refuse? I have a chance!

"Your subordinate understands. I will go into seclusion as soon as possible to refine the immortal Immortal Herb and improve my strength, so as not to disappoint Your Excellency's cultivation."

After saying this, Ya Fei curtsied, revealing the cleavage squeezed out of her cheongsam, which was perfectly displayed to Lu Chuan's eyes. She also secretly gave him a flirtatious wink before going to the side to absorb the Immortal Herb.

Lu Chuan blinked and compared the two in his mind.

Ya Fei's snowflakes seem to be almost identical to Zhu Qing's. It's a pity I can only get a rough idea; I couldn't take a proper measurement.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi Xian, who was copying the Cultivation Method, held a brush in her hand, the tip of which hovered over the paper, secretly watching the commotion that had just occurred.

She turned her head, lowered her voice, and whispered to Ye Lingling beside her, in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Lingling, is that Ya Fei trying to seduce the Young Master?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling paused for a moment, then sighed softly and lowered her head again to continue copying the Wood Attribute Cultivation Method in her hands.

Some things are better left unsaid.

Even if Zhu Qing were to speak, it wouldn't be their place to do so. Subordinates should have the awareness of being subordinates.

She had a good impression of Xiao Yi Xian and really didn't want to see the little girl be punished or even expelled for overstepping her bounds.

Although, given the Young Master's temperament, there's a high chance he wouldn't be so harsh on someone over such trivial matters.

But just because he didn't pursue the matter doesn't mean that we can act as we please.

He then turned his head and whispered his instructions:

"Just focus on your duties and don't meddle in these things. We just need to concentrate on our cultivation and do the tasks assigned by the adults."

Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips, glanced at Lu Chuan's back, and nodded as if she understood.

"Okay, I understand, Lingling."

After saying that, she withdrew her curious gaze, calmed her mind, picked up the brush, and continued to copy the text of the Cultivation Method in front of her.

Although Zhu Zhuqing saw it, she only felt a little jealous and didn't make a scene.

This was also due to the education she received from a young age. The Zhu Family relied on the Imperial Family, so they were very open-minded about men having multiple wives and concubines.

She pulled Lu Chuan to sit on a chair, then went around behind him, placing her soft hands on Lu Chuan shoulders and gently massaging them to relieve his fatigue.
