After meeting Zi Che Shaohao, Lin Yan's living conditions improved significantly.
She not only received many healing pills but also had spirit food and spirit tea provided daily.
However, Zi Che Shaohao's guards looked at Lin Yan with surprise. They had never seen their young master value an outsider so much.
Zi Che Shaohao had a mutated ice spiritual root. Since childhood, his relationships had been very weak, and his thoughts were solely focused on cultivation, which was how he reached his current realm at such a young age.
These guards had been by his side since his Qi Refining stage, but the young master had never cared about them. If they hadn't been familiar with him and he didn't want to find replacements, they probably wouldn't have stayed.
Yet, now, after seeing this female cultivator by the window, their young master had directly asked her to come up and treated her differently from others.
This unusual attention made the guard who had previously told Lin Yan to leave feel very uneasy. If he had known his young master would care so much about this female cultivator, he would never have treated her that way.
Now, he could only hope that his young master would not blame him for his earlier negligence.
Lin Yan's injuries, which had recovered seventy percent, were now completely healed under the effect of Zi Che Shaohao's pills. As soon as Lin Yan's injuries healed, he invited her to leave with him.
Lin Yan had already sent a message to her sect, so she had nothing pressing to do and could accompany him to see this central continent.
Seeing Lin Yan agree to go with him, Zi Che Shaohao's face showed a smile for the first time. However, the smile was very faint and fleeting.
Lin Yan rode in a carriage for the first time, a carriage whose exterior she had only seen before. The carriage was equipped with spatial arrays, and its interior space was much larger than she had imagined.
The entire carriage could be considered a magical artifact. Zi Che Shaohao helped Lin Yan onto the carriage, and she then sat down at a table. As soon as she sat down, a maid came over to serve her spirit fruits and spirit tea.
Lin Yan had never seen this maid before. Although she had been interacting with Zi Che Shaohao for many days, she had never seen this maid.
After carefully observing the maid before her, she realized that the maid's eyes were not right.
"This is a puppet. It comes with the carriage itself, but this puppet is of a lower grade and can only operate within this carriage," Zi Che Shaohao explained when he saw Lin Yan's curiosity.
"A puppet?" Lin Yan had not encountered anything like this in this world, but she had seen robots in modern times and could understand the construction of such a puppet.
Once she understood it was a puppet, Lin Yan shifted her attention to other things.
"Would you like a tour?" Zi Che Shaohao asked.
"There's plenty of time, I can look slowly." Lin Yan wasn't ready to tour immediately and began to look at the scenery outside.
The carriage windows were made of polished crystals, allowing her to see the outside scenery, but from the outside, one could not see inside.
"I come from the Southeast Region and am very curious about the Central Continent. Can you tell me about it, Shaohao?"
"Then I'll have them slow down so you can get a good look around here."
"Will it delay your business?" Lin Yan inquired.
"I don't have any pressing business. I'm just out this time to help inspect the family's industries," Zi Che Shaohao was very agreeable when facing Lin Yan.
He didn't know why himself, but from the first moment he saw this female cultivator, he felt a strong desire to be kind to her.
Although he felt something was not quite right, he chose to follow his heart and approach her, then strive to keep her by his side forever.
However, it seemed she didn't reject him either. She hadn't refused or distanced herself from anything he provided.
Now that she was returning with him, it made his journey feel interesting.
He usually didn't talk much, but facing her curiosity, Zi Che Shaohao couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he began to describe the scenery outside.
In fact, he could have delegated this task to the people around him, but he didn't want anyone else to be involved between them.
