246 Chapter 246 (2/2)

Fang Meili was astonished that she shared the same genes as this otherworldly beauty. She didn't consider herself that beautiful even though the people around her would tell her otherwise. Her proportions were plainer and she didn't have that jade-like skin as most of those beauties had. Her hair was also blond while most people preferred pure black or pure white hair.

”Your grandfather from my side of the family is also here… but you're probably better off not visiting him…”

Zhang Dong turned his head to the side and coughed into his hand while the woman next to him held her head down. Fang Meili could have sworn that the beauty was blushing as if she was embarrassed about something. Meili on the other hand was a bit interested in this new grandfather, he was more or less responsible for this encounter.

”This isn't the reason I came here though, it's about your other grandfather, Fang Heng.”

Meili tensed up the moment she heard her grandfather being mentioned. She couldn't really read too much into Zhang Dong's facial expression but from his tone, she could feel that something was off.

”I have to regretfully inform you that he hasn't contacted me since we parted at the banquet…”

Zhang Dong informed her about the situation as he didn't want to keep things hidden from the girl.

”I will have my sect members try to contact him and get more information. For the time being, you will have to remain here, I did promise to take care of you in your grandfather's stead and I'm going to stay true to that promise.”

Meili was glad that the man was sharing any type of information with her. It wasn't anything good though. She had no proof if what he was telling was the truth but there wasn't really a reason for him to lie. There wasn't much she could offer him in return and he was already wasting valuable resources on her.

”Xue here will help you around the mansion and sect. You will receive an inner disciple emblem, for now, it will help you to get around the city.”

He explained a few things to her: this so-called emblem was something akin to a master key. She would be able to apparently also buy food and items with it in the city. She would also receive some other things like a communication device and even a personal bodyguard.

”Xue will explain everything to you in detail, I have to tend to some sect business so I will have to excuse myself. If word of your grandfather or sect reaches me I will be sure to send someone over to give you word.”

Meili remained quiet while the United Element Sect Leader continued to talk. It was very rude and unwise to interrupt someone like him. She wouldn't have an option to ask any questions either as he left this Zhang Xue. He made a quick exit after the short explanation.

The door closed behind him and the two girls and two maids were left in the room. She was now left with the unknown beauty, not really sure what to do. She could tell that the other woman outranked her also in cultivation so she had to be respectful.

”Junior greets senior sister…”

She clasped her hands together and did a formal bow once more. The maids mimicked their young missy.

”You don't need to be so formal dear cousin, just as Master said you are part of our family, first you should take this.”

Zhang Xue handed Fang Meili the shield looking emblem that was similar to the one the new disciples had gotten. It was one meant for inner disciples though and was a lot more intricate.

Meili noticed that this cousin of hers also possessed one of those. It was attached as an accessory to her robe. She also remembered seeing ones similar to it mostly worn on the shoulders of the other cultivators.

She also was surprised at how this Zhang Xue was referring to her senior uncle.

”Master?”

Zhang Xue chuckled while covering her face with her long sleeve.

”Yes it's unconventional but my uncle is my Master. He is the most honorable person in this sect!”

The girl looked outside the window as if she was trying to proclaim to the world that Zhang Dong was the greatest master in the whole wide world.

”Master has urged me to give you a tour of this villa, we also need to visit the sect facilities and the city. There so much to see but so little time, we must depart dear cousin!”

Zhang Xue stopped reminiscing about her glorious master and turned to face Fang Meili. The city was huge and so was the entire sect. Giving this girl a tour of all that it could offer would probably take more than a day.

”Ah of course, I will abide by senior uncles and senior cousin's wishes.”

Fang Meili was still feeling a bit stiff, this lady here was acting very welcoming but it wasn't so for everyone else. There could be various reasons for it but the most important thing was for her to watch out.

Even though she had the sect leader's protection she didn't know how far this shield would go. Even this woman here could easily dispatch her for whatever reason. She needed to be careful and respectful.

Soon the two girls left the confines of the large guest room. The two girls set out to tour the sect compound. Their senior uncle on the other hand had a big choice to make.
