Liu Siya’s pretty face immediately flushed red. She had not expected the Patriarch to be so humorous.
“Patriarch, you’re joking. How could a disciple like me ever be worthy of you, Patriarch?”
Liu Siya said awkwardly, not daring to look at Chu Fan anymore.
Maybe it was because the Patriarch’s cultivation was so high, but being stared at by him made her feel extremely nervous.
Seeing her lower her head and slightly clench her fists, Chu Fan knew she must have said that out of fear.
It seemed that in this world, once you were powerful and held a noble status, these female disciples with lower cultivation really could be taken advantage of.
“Haha, all right. Thank you for today. I’m hungry too, so go back first. If you ever need my help with anything, you can come find me.”
A wave of hunger hit Chu Fan, so he immediately sent Liu Siya off, opened the door, and escorted her to the entrance.
After she left, Chu Fan quickly carried in the food and the gourd of water from the floor. After closing the door, he started eating heartily.
“Mmm, this is really delicious. The flavor is good. What kind of meat is this? It should be spirit beast meat. Luckily, the level isn’t high, or else my body probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
Chu Fan ate bite after bite. After a few mouthfuls, he drank a few big gulps of water, and only then did he feel much more comfortable.
With such low cultivation, he could not afford to go without food in the future. If he lived here, these female disciples would not dare say much to him; at most, they would call him greedy.
Besides, he could secretly buy some food later, put it in the Storage Ring, and bring it back to eat. No one would notice.
But if he lived in the palace where Ye Yanji and the others stayed, they would definitely become suspicious.
Right now, Chu Fan’s cultivation was not high. The One-Punch Instant-Kill Gloves were limited in number, and unless absolutely necessary, he naturally could not use them.
It would be best not to expose his Tier 1 Qi Practitioner cultivation.
After he finished eating, Chu Fan lay down and slept comfortably. When he woke up, his complexion looked much rosier, and he seemed far more energetic than before.
Now he no longer looked like a miserable old man, but more like a handsome middle-aged man, with a heroic air between his brows.
“Little sister, have you been crying?”
Liu Siya came to Liu Qingyue’s room and saw that Liu Qingyue’s eyes were red. She could not help but ask in surprise.
“Big sister, I thought you were trying to find us sisters a backer in the future, so you went to please that old man and even gave him your precious first time. I just feel that you’ve suffered too much.”
Liu Qingyue looked at Liu Siya. Their parents had died early, and the two sisters had depended on each other since childhood. They had finally managed to embark on the path of cultivation and come to the Joyous Sect.
They had originally thought that joining a sect would mean no more bullying, but unexpectedly, it was the same in the Joyous Sect. As long as one was not strong enough, there would still be people bullying them.
Liu Siya was both amused and exasperated. “You silly girl, what are you thinking? I didn’t give up my first time at all! I actually think this Patriarch is quite interesting and also a pretty good person. He’s a decent man!”
“Sis, don’t lie to comfort me. I heard everything outside the door just now. You and that old man were alone in the room, and the Patriarch even cried out.”
Liu Qingyue thought Liu Siya was saying this just so she would not worry, and she felt even more that her sister must have been terribly wronged.
If one of them had to suffer in the end, she would rather it be herself.
“What did you hear? You definitely misunderstood. The Patriarch is actually very easy to talk to. But at the beginning, I misunderstood him too.”
Thinking about how she had misunderstood Chu Fan earlier and even taken off her clothes to lie on the bed, Liu Siya could not help but smile a little. She felt rather embarrassed.
“You, didn’t you make the Patriarch hurt? Sis, don’t lie to me.”
Liu Qingyue looked at Liu Siya with a pained expression. In her eyes, her sister was surely forcing a smile, but the acting was indeed very good, as if nothing had happened at all.
After hearing this, Liu Siya became even more amused and exasperated. “You little troublemaker, what are you thinking about? The Patriarch just asked me to help him shave his beard and fix his hair. His beard was so long and he had not shaved it in a long time. It was my first time doing that for a man, so I accidentally hurt him a little.”
“Ah, so that’s how it was. I, I thought the two of you… I thought he was a lecher and had you help him with that kind of thing.”
Liu Qingyue was stunned. So this old man had not made a move on her sister?
“Qingyue, actually, when he first came into the room, he told me to wait for him because he was going to bathe first. I misunderstood too. I even took off my clothes and lay on the bed. But when he came out, he actually just asked me to shave his beard and fix his hair…”
As Liu Siya spoke, she could not help but laugh. “It seems this Patriarch really is different from other men. He is not the kind of man who bullies others by relying on power.”
Liu Qingyue was amused as well, and then she said in disbelief, “No way. That old man could resist a temptation like my sister? If it were any other man, he would have bullied you badly.”
“Now I think the Patriarch is a gentleman. Besides, he does not seem old at all. Before, he had not washed his face, he was dirty all over, his beard was very long, and his hair was messy, so he looked older. The way he looked just now, he was basically just a middle-aged man, and quite handsome at that.”
As Liu Siya thought of Chu Fan’s appearance, a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Ever since they came to the Joyous Sect, those male disciples had always wanted to get ideas about them, and some even tried to take advantage of them. That Ye Qiu had even threatened her several times with his authority.
But Chu Fan was the first person to care about them and bring them warmth.
Seeing the sweet smile on Liu Siya’s face, Liu Qingyue deliberately teased her, “Sis, I haven’t seen you smile like that in a long time, and you’re smiling so happily. You’re not falling for him, are you? After he cleaned himself up, did he really become handsome?”
Liu Siya could not help but roll her eyes at Liu Qingyue. “Why would I lie to you? Anyway, we all live in the same courtyard. You can see him anytime.”
“All right, I believe you. But even if he cleaned himself up and looks less old, he still can’t be as handsome as you say.”
Liu Qingyue could not help laughing.
At that moment, Ye Yanji had also found Grand Elder Shi Henshuang and asked her, “Henshuang, how is it? Where has the Patriarch’s residence been arranged?”
As soon as Shi Henshuang heard this, her expression became a little strange. “Sect Master, I think our Patriarch really likes women!”
