Chapter 235 Human Heart

"It's alright, but I'm a little tired after patrolling all day! Ah Can, pour me a glass of water, I'm so thirsty my throat is practically parched!"

As Bai Ke spoke, he walked into the room and plopped down in a chair. Upon seeing this, A-Can readily agreed and soon brought a teapot to pour water for Bai Ke.

Bai Ke kept saying no, but grabbed the teapot and started chugging the tea. Ah Can couldn't help but be moved; he had never seen his young master in such a disheveled state before.

"Young Master, have you not drunk any water all day? Slow down, be careful not to choke!" Bai Ke felt much better after gulping down a lot of water from the spout.

"It's my first day reporting for duty, and I was so focused on the patrol that I didn't expect these things. I should have just stopped at some random mountain peak to ask for some water during the patrol! I'm so thirsty!"

"Is the young master hungry? Shall I get you some food?" Ah-Can asked tentatively.

"No need, I just drank a lot of water, I can't eat right now."

"Oh, alright! Then you should rest now, young master. I won't disturb you any longer and will take my leave first!" With that, Ah Can was about to leave.

Bai Ke had been silent, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, he exclaimed, "Wait!"

Ah-Can stopped abruptly, looking at Bai Ke with a puzzled expression, "Young Master, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Bai Ke stood up and walked over to A-Can, looking him up and down. "A-Can, I haven't seen you practicing your skills these past few days. Tell me, have you been slacking off?"

Upon hearing this, Ah-Can hurriedly explained, "No, no, young master, Ah-Can really hasn't! Ah-Can hasn't been slacking off lately, it's just that young master has been busy lately, leaving early and returning late every day."

"You weren't there when I was practicing, young master. You have to believe Ah-Can!"

Seeing Ah-Can's anxious expression, Bai Ke suppressed a laugh and said, "Well! I'll trust you for now! I've been quite busy lately."

However, you absolutely mustn't neglect your training. Soon you'll be leading people to that small world.

When the time comes, everyone will follow your orders. Besides having your own opinions, you also need to be exceptionally capable so that people will respect you.

Let me tell you in advance, young master, I recommend you because I believe in your abilities, Ah Can.

If you slack off and don't practice properly, and something goes wrong when you get there, I'll show you my newly developed "sugar-roasted chestnuts!"

As he spoke, Bai Ke pretended to be fierce and was about to raise his hand to hit A-Can on the head. A-Can was so frightened that he quickly covered his head tightly and shouted that he dared not.

Bai Ke knew when to stop, so he gave a satisfied "hmm" and slowly sat back down in his chair, eating the snacks laid out on the table.

Ah Can then stepped forward and chuckled twice, then approached Bai Ke and said to Ah Can, "Hehe, Ah Can knows that Young Master is doing this for Ah Can's own good."

Although the young master is sometimes so fierce to Ah Can..." As he said this, Ah Can suddenly felt the murderous aura coming from the eyes of the person next to him.

He shivered, swallowed hard, and continued, suppressing the urge to run away, "But! Ah-Can has always believed that hitting is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love!"

No matter what the young master does, he won't abandon Ah Can. Hehe, Ah Can is very content and happy. But young master, don't worry! Ah Can will absolutely not let you lose face, I promise!

Feeling Ah-Can's earnest gaze fixed on him, Bai Ke felt a little uncomfortable in this sentimental atmosphere and coughed awkwardly.

"Go away! Stop trying to flatter me! I'm hungry now, go get me something to eat. I don't want to keep eating these snacks, hurry up!"

"Alright! Hehehe, I'm off then, young master, wait a moment." With that, he ran towards the door.

Bai Ke watched Ah Can's departing figure, shaking his head and chuckling.

A moment later, Ah-Can brought in a steaming bowl of clear soup noodles. Bai Ke could smell the aroma of the noodles from a distance.

Bai Ke eagerly took the soup noodles from A-Can's hands, picked up his chopsticks, and began to wolf them down.

I was exhausted after a long day of patrolling, and I was starving. In no time, Bai Ke devoured a large bowl of noodle soup.

"Young master, would you like another bowl?" Ah-Can asked.

Bai Ke smacked his lips contentedly, seemingly still wanting more. "No need, I can't eat too much at once, it's bad for my health. I'm not eating anymore, take these away!"

"Hey! Good!"

As he spoke, he began to clear the table. Seeing Ah Can clearing the table, Bai Ke suddenly remembered the little gatekeeper when he went to Lin Xiu's Lingyue Peak to cause trouble earlier that day.

"Ah Chan, I have a task for you!"

"Huh?" Ah-Can exclaimed in surprise, not quite understanding.

"Starting tomorrow, keep an eye out for some disciples. They need to have decent cultivation levels, clean backgrounds, and not be related to any elders or the Tian Ce Palace's forces."

And you should pay close attention to their character, learn about their conduct from other people, and then come back and tell me!

"Huh? Young Master, Ah Can doesn't understand. Why do you want me to pay attention to these people?"

"Today I visited Lin Xiu at Lingyue Peak and took the opportunity to teach his servant a lesson. Then, I suddenly had an idea."

"No, young master, what are you doing going to Lin Xiu's Lingyue Peak? That's his territory. What if Lin Xiu tries to mess with you if you go there alone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ke flicked his forehead again, and A-Can couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Then Bai Ke said, "When did your young master become so weak, timid and afraid of trouble! Today, I went to Lingyue Peak to set a trap for Lin Xiu, and he indeed fell into it."

When I arrived at the entrance of Lin Xiu's Green Bamboo Garden, the servant who opened the door was very unfriendly to me, so I taught him a lesson and threw him out.

I just had a sudden thought. What do you think about me cultivating my own faction?

Bai Ke didn't intend to hide this from A-Can; firstly, he still trusted A-Can a lot.

Secondly, if I want to develop my own strength, I will definitely need Ah Chan's help, and this cannot be kept secret.

It's better to tell him directly, so he'll be aware of the situation. It will also give him time to be on guard if anyone tries to find out what he's thinking.

"My own power? Is that what you just told me, young master, to keep an eye on those disciples?"

"clever!"

"Young master, that's fine. But should we inform the master about this?"

As the chief disciple of our Tian Ce Palace, and now a deacon of the Enforcement Hall, you're destined for the position of Tian Ce Holy Son.
