Chapter 838 Chapter 838 Midnight Talk

"Young master." Senior Fan called at the strike of midnight. This was the only time of the day he could find in order to have his chance to talk with his young master.

"Come inside, Senior Fan." Our bored gamer humored the old man. He did not need to be a seer in order to predict Senior Fan\'s arrival at this late hour.

"THUD!" The door was closed gently behind the old man in black.

"Forgive me for my intrusion, young master. But i have something to tell you that you should be aware. It\'s about Lady Chu Qingling."

Senior Fan was not one to play with words and so he decided to go straight to the point at once.

"Oh? Go on, Senior Fan. What about her?" Clark asked as he put the book that he was reading on the bedside table.

Looking into the past deeds of legends and heroes of the land was so interesting to know about since its authors were great in exaggerating most of their feats.

This was the only worthy pastime that our good gamer found so far in this world.

"How much do you know Lady Chu Qingling, young master?" Senior Fan hesitated a bit and so he asked this tentative question at first.

"I just met her last night, Senior Fan. So i basically know her as much and well as you do." Clark replied with a smile.

His excuse for meeting his captive slave was that Chu Qingling visited him last night in order to profess her love unto him. It was the old tale of love at first sight in all intents and purposes.

"This..." is absurd! This was what Senior Fan wanted to say but he was smarter than that and so he held the onset of any sharp words that may come out from his aged mouth.

Although his young master was handsome but there were countless men like him and what was more impressive was that those favored sons of the heavens were all top cultivator talents and epic prodigies.

There was really no comparison to be had!

"Forgive my candor, young master. But i believe that Lady Chu Qingling has other ulterior motives in hoping to get into a closer relationship with you."

Senior Fan finally added these words instead.

"How can you say so, Senior Fan?" Clark acted all innocent and composed. Though there was obvious curiosity to be found within his clear blue eyes.

"The greatest evidence i have is that... Lady Chu Qingling has a far more superior cultivation base than i do. And every time i look at her, the stench of blood lust from her could not help but reek out.

It\'s embedded in her nature. Please think twice before engaging further into her traps, young master!" Senior Fan bowed deeply.

It was clear that he has only the well being of our bored gamer in his mind.

"I can see why you believe that to be so, Senior Fan." Clark started before pausing for a breath or two at this junction. He continued by adding,

"Have you ever fallen in love?" Our bored gamer said in a bare whisper. If the old man before him was not a cultivator then he would have found it hard in fishing these words out.

"Young master... I... yes, i did." Senior Fan stuttered in his answer. He definitely has not expected for this line of questioning to come from his young master.

"Has the disparity or closeness in strength, cultivation base, and wealth been a question between you and your beloved? Especially on how you felt towards her?"

Our bored gamer asked some more. Senior Fan went silent for almost a dozen breaths before he found his tongue again in the conversation.

His eyes blurred and became misty as he remembered something that had happened more than 150 years into the past.

"No, it has not." Senior Fan responded softly. He realized then and there where his young master was coming from.

"You are not alone in this feeling, Senior Fan.

I felt this way towards my wife Zi Ling no matter how one sided our love was and this was the reason why i had willingly set her free in order to find her happiness and true quest in life.

I believe that Chu Qingling feels that way towards me.

Although i have no cultivation base to speak of and may be as weak as an ant compared to her in power and prestige but love goes beyond what is fair or logical.

At least this is what i believe and experienced to be true." Clark said in a forlorn manner and his acting was indeed superb. He almost believed in his own words as consequence.

\'You are a romantic fool, young master. Yet i could not help but praise your simplistic and naive point of view.\' Senior Fan concluded in silence.

He almost fell into trusting this fairy tale illusion but the variables were just too big to swallow.

This old man was much too experienced to put his guard down against someone of Chu Qingling\'s questionable origin and character.

Alas, perhaps time can only tell who was right or wrong between this pair of master and servant.

"This old servant\'s doubts has all been answered, young master. I wish you and Lady Chu Qingling only happiness and joy." Senior Fan gave his blessings.

Even if he was still not sold on the real character of Lady Chu Qingling but he did not have the heart to burst his young master\'s bubble.

All he could do at this time was only to do his best in guaranteeing the safety of his young master.

Senior Fan was not confident in his chances against someone who was obviously more powerful than him but he was going to do all that he can or die trying.

The old man exited the room with a greater resolve than before.

* * *

"At least you have courage, old man. I\'ll give you that." Chu Qingling muttered in the privacy of her room. She has heard and seen all that had transpired in our avid gamer\'s chambers.

She replayed all the scenes in her mind over and over again and could not help but notice something about the old monster that had enslaved her so.

Before long, a smile could be seen hanging on her face.
