Yu Ming inherited part of her seductive allure from her mother but she was nowhere close to her own mother but the woman in front of her gave off the feeling that she could compare to her mother.
"Ara~ why are you backing away? Am I that scary~~ By the way, you can call me Xin Yan. I am not much older than you." Xin Yan placed her hand on her face and suggested with a smile.
Seeing that face, Yu Ming knew that she would not have a good ending if she did not agree with her. She hurriedly Nodded showing her agreement.
"What a cute girl~ Come let me show you the way to the hall."
Xin Yan pulled the young woman inside by her arm gently. She started showing her the area around the house before taking her towards the hall.
"This is the hall, let's wait here for a while. My son should have noticed your arrival and he should be here soon."
Xin Yan suggested pointing her towards a sofa in the middle of the hall.
Yu Ming did not dare show any dissatisfaction and hurriedly sat on the sofa.
Her eyes looked around the hall in curiosity. She wanted to see what kind of work the famous array master did on this house.
"Here, have some tea and snacks while we wait for Long Tian. " Xin Yan smiled and took out some snacks and a tea set from her storage ring.
Yu Ming was not surprised to see the storage ring on her body as she had suspicion that the woman in front of her was either as strong as her or even stronger.
Yet remembering the chilling smile of the woman, she secretly made up her mind not to mind her even if she was a mortal. All she has to do is mind her own business.
Xin Yan smiled a little seeing Yu Ming's wariness. she started talking to her while waiting for Noah.
At first Yu Ming was a little hesitant but after a while she started opening up to Xin Yan.
*Thud*
Before long the doors of the hall opened once again catching the attention of the duo. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they did not notice the passing of time.
"Looks like we have guests."
Noah walked inside the room and looked at the familiar woman with a neutral face. He walked towards them and sat near Xin Yan.
Smiling Xin Yan poured him a cup of tea.
"So can I assume that you have decided to live here with us?"
Seeing the hesitation on her face Noah spoke up first picking the warm cup of tea.
"Indeed, I have decided to live here and instead of staying here for free I will be paying accordingly to the market price."
Taking a deep breath, Yu Ming entered her merchant mode. She took out a small bag of spirit stones and placed them on the table.
A smile appeared on Noah's face seeing her face and expressions full of confidence and determination.
There was not a trace of the previous seduction and alluring aura on her. She looked more like a seasoned merchant than a woman using herself as a way to gather customers.
For Noah, even though the merchants have to use all of the assets they had to their advantage, to him there should be a limit to what a person has decided to lower himself to.
Those who do not have this limit are nothing but slaves to their desires. It is greed or anger that makes people cross their lines.
"Very well, I agree!"
Hearing Noah's agreement she looked at him with a little surprise. She thought he would make things difficult for her rude behavior but seeing him picking up the bag of spirit stones she confirmed that it was reality.
When she saw the look of appreciation in his eyes, Yu Ming could not help but feel a warmth budding inside of her heart.
She realized that it was because she chose a straightforward way of approach that he let her stay.
If she had used similar methods like she did yesterday then she might have been rejected right on the spot.
"Well, you can move to your room whenever you want. The room on the right corner is empty. I will be entering in seclusion for a week, so if you need anything you can directly ask Xi- My mother about it."
Noah had a slip of tongue and he almost called Xin Yan by her name.
Thankfully Yu Ming did not seem to notice that slip as her attention was focused on something.
'He broke through again in a single day!'
She didn't notice it before but as he mentioned entering seclusion, she saw that he was already in the third level of his current realm.
'How old was he again ?'
She could not help but feel tempted in checking his bone age.
"So if there is nothing else, I will take my leave!"
Noah's leaving figure took her by surprise and she came out of her thoughts.
"Should I show you the way to your room?"
Xin Yan offered her to lead her to which Yu Ming readily agreed.
"If you don't mind, please!"
Seeing her polite attitude, Xin Yan smiled and led her towards Elysia's room which she did not even use much.
As for Elysia, she was currently stalkin- Ahem watching over Noah as he entered his room.
While Noah was breaking through, he momentarily connected himself to the nature around him. When he became one with nature momentarily he found out that there was a secret room beneath the courtyard.
Surprisingly the entrance of the room was hidden inside his own room.
Noah cursed himself a little for not using his seals for thoroughly checking the property. If it was an array he would have noticed it without even using his seals.
Yet what the secret passage was concealed with was not an array but a mechanism made with fine quality work and detail.
