If thats the case, I would like to make some arrangements for you. Will you be okay with that?

Please do, Old Madam! said Liu Danhang nonchalantly.

You are a good child and I can understand your feelings. You and our Xiao Xiao arent meant to be. Thats fate and nobody can force it. Everyones emotions belong to themselves. You love someone, thats your feelings and nobody can say a word about it. Somebody else doesnt like you, thats their feelings and, again, nobody could force it. Or, I should say, when it came to emotions, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, it belongs to one individual. As everyone has the right to like another or dislike another. Do you understand what I am trying to say?

Yes, Old Madam. I understand. I understand that I cant force it or make it happen. This is my own emotions. I understand.

Liu Danhang was no longer that boy from the village. After maturing in the past year, both his experience and ways of looking at things had changed drastically. He was already a 19-year-old young man. As the first batch of disciples of Sacred Land Zhongyuan, he was every bit as good as a disciple of any other prestigious sect.

Good. I am glad to hear that. Old Madam Cheng nodded. Gazing at him, she said, You want to give everything you can for Xiao Xiao and you have no romantic feelings for Huihui, am I right?

Liu Danhang finally nodded after a long while. As the old madam in front of him had already saw through him, there was no need to deny the truth.

Liu Danhang, this old madam would like to offer you an opportunity to allow you to stay at Sacred Land Zhongyuan forever plus let you spend the rest of your life to pay Sacred Land Zhongyuan back. Are you willing to accept?

Old Madam Cheng looked very solemn and didnt look a bit like she was joking.

Liu Danhang replied with no hesitation. Yes, I am willing. I have never thought about leaving this place. I am willing to stay here for the rest of my life, as that was exactly what I have wanted!

Liu Danhang, your bodys element is fire, right?

Yes, Old Madam! Liu Danhang paused for a little. He was surprised that the old madam knew his body type that well.

You are a cultivator belonging to the fire element. You have a great advantage over others in the area of alchemy and apothecary. Sacred Land Zhongyuan is looking to train up a group of alchemists or apothecaries. Liu Danhang, are you will to become an alchemist or apothecary?

Her eyes locked onto the one standing in front of her. Before he could reply, she went on, You need to really think this through. Once you made this decision, you will really be staying at Sacred Land Zhongyuan for the rest of your life. You will be dedicating your entire life to Sacred Land Zhongyuan. Do you understand?

Yes, Old Madam. I understand and I am willing to take up that responsibility. I hope that Old Madam will allow me to accomplishment my goals. I am willing to become an apothecary or an alchemist!

The big boys awe-inspiring look in front of her reminded Old Madam Cheng of the shy look on Huihui. She thought about it for a little bit and said, Liu Danhang, I can do that but I also have a request for you. What do you think?

Do tell, Old Madam. I will do anything! Liu Danhang agreed to the request before finding out what it was about.

Good then

Old Madam Cheng smiled tenderly and said, I am glad to hear that. My request is that I will need you to take good care of Huihui in the future. And her nephew little Lihui as well. Do you understand?

. Liu Danhang was stunned again.

Old Madam Cheng ended the conversation here and left. That was all she could do for these two kids. The rest would be up to the two of them.
