Liu Siya lay on the bed, her heart pounding with anxiety.
She only hoped that Chu Fan would be a little quicker, so that perhaps the suffering in her heart would not be so unbearable.
Although Chu Fan’s status was noble, who would be willing to do that sort of thing with an old man?
After a while, Chu Fan finally came out from inside, dressed, and stretched.
After taking a bath, he felt much more comfortable. Aside from feeling very hungry now, there was nothing else to worry about.
But just as he stretched, he discovered that Liu Siya had actually lain on his bed, covered herself with the blanket, and taken off the disciple clothes she had been wearing earlier, tossing them aside.
“What are you doing lying on my bed?”
Chu Fan froze, instantly a little baffled. He thought to himself, didn’t Ye Yanji say that the Joyous Sect had already gotten on the right track and was now a respectable orthodox sect?
Hadn’t that domineering evil technique that used dual cultivation to absorb a man’s cultivation long since disappeared? Hadn’t its inheritance been cut off?
Could it be that some disciples were still secretly cultivating that technique?
Was Liu Siya thinking that he was the Patriarch, with abundant spiritual energy within him, and wanted to dual cultivate with him, taking the chance to absorb his spiritual energy and improve her cultivation?
Thinking of this, Chu Fan became wary. Liu Siya was beautiful indeed, and her figure was excellent. Such a top-tier beauty… if Chu Fan could have her, he would naturally be overjoyed.
But if the other side was cultivating some evil art, and discovered the little bit of spiritual power he had, then they would naturally know that he was not the Patriarch at all, but an impostor. If that were the case, it would be far too risky. If the sect found out, he would most likely lose his life.
Lust is a blade above one’s head. No matter what Chu Fan thought, he still did not dare.
What’s more, for such a top-tier beauty to be so proactive with him only made him more frightened. He felt that she definitely had designs on him; this was far too abnormal.
“Didn’t you say you needed my help? You told me to wait for you!”
Liu Siya blushed, her heartbeat quickening. Seeing Chu Fan’s bewildered expression, could she have really misunderstood him?
Looking at her like that, Chu Fan could not help swallowing. In his previous life, he had never touched a woman, and neither had the original owner. He really wanted to pounce on her right away and do something.
But now that he had just arrived, he still did not know this world very well, and he did not know the Joyous Sect very well either. Staying alive was what mattered most!
He turned around and said, pretending to be calm, “Nonsense! Isn’t this just nonsense?”
Having said that, Chu Fan paused, then said in a righteous tone, “I, Chu Fan, am a man of integrity. How could I tolerate corrupt behavior like yours? Do you think I’m someone like Ye Qiu?”
Liu Siya was dumbfounded. Countless men coveted her looks. Yet this Patriarch could actually hold himself back?
Could it be that she had really misunderstood the Patriarch? Was the Patriarch truly a gentleman?
But hadn’t Liu Qingyue said that the Patriarch was a lecher?
“Patriarch, could it be that I misunderstood you? That’s not what you meant?”
Liu Siya asked tentatively, thinking that perhaps the Patriarch was deliberately teasing her, testing her sincerity.
Thinking of this, Liu Siya immediately said, “Patriarch, I… I am willing. I wanted to thank you for helping me and my little sister, so I came forward of my own accord. You didn’t force me at all! This time, I came willingly, not because the Patriarch forced me. How could you compare yourself to a bastard like Ye Qiu? You’re so much better than him.”
Chu Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly said, “No, no, no, I think you’ve really misunderstood me. It’s just that I haven’t had my hair trimmed or my beard shaved for so long, so I asked you to help me. Can you help me shave my beard and trim my hair?”
“Oh? You… you meant that!”
Liu Siya was instantly extremely embarrassed. So she really had misunderstood him.
“Quickly put your clothes back on. I… I’m a proper person!”
Chu Fan said with a wry smile, turning his back on her.
Liu Siya quickly got up, put her clothes back on, and then said, “Then sit down. I’ll help you!”
“Thank you, Miss Siya.”
Chu Fan said.
After Liu Qingyue bought the food, she also filled a large gourd with water before hurrying back.
Just as she returned to the doorway of Chu Fan’s room, she heard her sister tell Chu Fan to sit down and say that she would help him, leaving Liu Qingyue utterly speechless.
“It’s over? Has it already started? Has my sister already started helping him? Should I rush in and break them up?”
“If I charge in, will the Patriarch be unhappy?”
“But…”
After hesitating for a while, Liu Qingyue gritted her teeth and walked to the doorway.
“Steward Chu, um, I brought the things.”
Liu Qingyue gently knocked on the door. In the end, she still did not dare to barge in directly, but she could not just do nothing either. She could only ask cautiously like this.
“Oh, just leave it at the door. We’re busy right now. Once we’re done, I’ll take it myself.”
Chu Fan said at once, while Liu Siya was using a dagger to shave his beard.
Outside the door, Liu Qingyue could not help biting her red lip. Her mind was filled with shy images. Her sister really was being bullied by that old man now.
Yes, if they were not doing that sort of thing, why would they close the door? Why would they not let her in?
“Okay, okay! Then I’ll go back to my room first. If anything comes up, remember to call me!”
Although Liu Qingyue was very annoyed, she could only respond that way, put the things on the ground, stand up, and prepare to leave.
After all, the other party was the Patriarch. If she rashly barged in and made the Patriarch angry, he might very well take her life, as well as her sister’s.
Besides, there was no telling whether she herself would also be in trouble and be taken by the Patriarch.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyue felt helpless. She could only grit her teeth and turn to leave.
“Ah!”
Inside the room, Chu Fan could not help letting out a small cry.
“I’m sorry, was I too rough? Did I hurt you? This is my first time shaving someone’s beard, so I don’t have any experience. I’m really sorry!”
Liu Siya was startled. She did not know whether the dagger was too dull, but Chu Fan seemed to have felt a bit of pain.
Frightened, she immediately knelt on the ground like a maid who had made a mistake!
“It’s fine, I can bear it. What is this little bit of pain to a dignified sect patriarch like me?”
Chu Fan said solemnly.
Liu Siya stood in front of him, helping him shave. Chu Fan was so close to her, and as he smelled the faint fragrance on her body, his mind grew a little hazy.
This woman was truly tempting.
If he could really be with a woman like this, then this life would be worth it.
After a while, Liu Siya looked at the man in front of her and could not help but brighten.
“Patriarch, I find that after you bathed, shaved your beard, and tidied your hair a little, you look quite spirited! You don’t look like an old man anymore!”
After Liu Siya finished helping Chu Fan, she looked at the man in front of her and realized that his features were sharp and defined, with thick brows and tiger-like eyes. He seemed more than ten years younger than before, and he did not look anything like an old man at all.
What’s more, he was even a little handsome, with a masculine charm!
“I was always a handsome guy. What’s wrong? Are you taking a fancy to me, or what?”
Chu Fan said with a grin. This Liu Siya had probably never shaved a man before.
