The meeting happened as planned but its conclusion was not as everyone has expected.
"As you sure that you don\'t want to stay, Master Clark?" The middle aged man asked.
The introduction between them has already happened and it was known that this man was named Shen An. This was of course no one else but Shen Rong\'s father.
"Yes, I am. There is nothing for me here." Our bored gamer replied honestly.
There was no point in wasting his time in this place since it would avail him little especially in what he wanted to do in this world.
Truth be told, he was merely here to help get a ride to some place else with more resources and promise. Majestic Cloud Palace was simply not what Clark had in mind for that.
"I see. Then at least accept a gift from this lowly junior, Master Clark. A man of your stature deserves a dozen maid servants if not more.
Please let me be the one to supply you with this need." Shen An stated wisely. He was not dumb to lose this thick thigh in his midst.
Thus, it was imperative that he cement this bond a little more tougher while he still had the chance right now.
"I guess i could take this boon. But only 1 maidservant. More than that and it will become much too troublesome for me already. I don\'t have the time to bother."
Clark decided after a beat. Simple things like these did not matter much at all.
"This lowly junior is glad, Master Clark. You won\'t regret this decision at all." Shen An bowed slightly to show his respect.
More than anything else, it showed his joy since he had the perfect girl for the job.
Although he could not sense any cultivation base whatsoever from the mysterious young man but he never dared belittle him at all.
Elder Yuan was an accurate example of how doing such a thing was a grave mistake.
"I sure hope so." Our bored gamer said to end this discussion. It would be a lie to say that he was not thrilled to move on to the next place.
This one had been a great stepping stone for him in order to join into a much more larger world than here. This new trip would start tomorrow at the latest.
\'I really did enjoy my stay here.\' Clark could not help but muse inside.
Although the duration of his time in the Majestic Cloud Palace was only 1 day but he was more than satisfied with it already. He knew that there was a whole lot better waiting ahead of him.

"Miss Shen Xiaodie, your father summons you." An old servant called.
"Father? Has he already come out from secluded practice? But why this soon?" A beautiful girl asked. Alas, no one was there to answer her queries.
She had to come see her father to get further details about this one. And that was exactly what she did. The pair of father and daughter met after how many years of separation.
Unfortunately for them, no hugs were shared in the end.
"NO! I won\'t go!" Shen Xiaodie defied stubbornly. She just learned that she would become the maidservant of an unknown expert. This was far from the fate she imagined for herself.
One should know that she was the most talented daughter of the Shen family. A maidservant was definitely not in one of the futures she had seen for herself.
"You need to do this for the family, Xiao\'er. If you cannot give this simple sacrifice after all the clan has offered in your cultivation then i shall forfeit your status as my daughter.
The clan shall take everything away from you. Your money, your servants, your cultivation base amongst all others. You will be an outcast of the family." Shen An explained in fine details.
He did not rage out in anger nor has he used a deafening speech in reply. He was only laying out the options that was now available for his most talented daughter.
"Father! You can\'t do this to me!" Shen Xiaodie could not believe what she heard. There was shock of disbelief at first then came anger next.
These plain expressions showed clearly on her lovely face. Never in her 20 years in this world has she been assailed with these problems. Everyone was usually favoring her always.
Her father amongst them of course.
"..." Alas, Shen An\'s silence confirmed her greatest fears. With these dire consequences before her, her decision was a no brainer indeed.
"Okay."

The night passed without suspense.
"Master Clark, i want you to meet my daughter. This is Shen Xiaodie. She will be your maidservant from now on." Shen An introduced the two first thing in the morning.
"Well met, Master Clark. I will serve you to the best of my ability." Shen Xiaodie said in gritted teeth. Even a blind man could see the untruth in her words.
"Hmmm..." Our bored gamer nodded as she inspected the goods before him. Shen Xiaodie could indeed brag that she was a beauty amongst millions of women.
But Clark had seen better in his long life.
"Are the preparations for the journey ready, Master Shen An?" Our good gamer asked after a few breaths. He did not even put the immature and rebellious attitude of the girl in his eyes.
This has no bearing in what he wanted today.
"They are, Master Clark. Are you sure you\'ll destination will be Coiling Dragon Sect? We have more ancient sects nearby." Shen An asked.
There was indeed more ancient sects nearby that was a whole lot stronger than the Coiling Dragon Sect who has faded rather dramatically over the years.
This sect was once an overlord in Silver Throne Continent. Alas, that magnificent past was no more to be seen today.
"Yes. Any sect will do me. I just picked the Coiling Dragon Sect since it\'s easily accessible from here." Clark smiled widely before he said his next words.
"Thank you for everything, Master Shen An. I won\'t forget this favor."
