Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 620: Xu Lin Tagging Along

As if seeing through her worries, Noah stood up with a smirk and praised her, "I am glad you thought this through. After returning to the sect, you can focus on cultivating and performing the tasks assigned by the sect, and who knows, you might have enough contribution points before you need to claim the pill for your breakthrough."

"Is that true?!" At first, Zhong Hua merely smiled at his words, but hearing the latter half of them, her body froze, and her eyes widened in disbelief and happiness. She could see hope once more. With a pill like that, she might be able to catch up to others her age.

"Indeed, we have a merit system in the sect, and everything can be bought with enough merit. After you have a specific number of credits, you can exchange them for the pill or other treasures available in the sect." Noah confirmed his words and allowed the girl to smile happily once more. His words only fueled her eagerness to leave and hurriedly work on her cultivation once more. "Can we leave right away?"

"What a heartless daughter, leaving your father like this without hesitation." Feeling the hold of his daughter in his hands slipping away, Zhong Ben spoke in a mock bitter tone, but in his heart, he was happy to see his daughter finally flying toward a bright future.

"Can I take my maid along with me?" Glancing at her father, Zhong Hua paused before ignoring him as if he was not even present there.

Seeing the hopeful look in her eyes, Noah and Xin Yan looked at each other as if asking the other what to do.

"Why would you need a maid in the sect? You are not supposed to have a maid in any sect." Xin Yan did not immediately reject or accept her. "We cannot exactly create a new rule for a single disciple."

"No, no, no, you got me wrong! I don't want to take my maid to help with my chores. I want her to cultivate alongside me." Zhong Hua hurriedly shook her head to make sure there were no misunderstandings. "Xu Lan has been my maid since childhood, and I also want her to grow stronger with me."

Her eyes shone with a bit of nostalgia as she continued, "She has a good talent for cultivation. Not as high as mine, but she is certainly not lacking. She is in her twenties and has reached the peak of the foundation establishment realm, and that too while she was taking care of me most of the time."

"Mhm, since it's about making her a disciple in the sect, we can take her as an outdoor disciple, right?" Noah thought for a while before suggesting a solution, his eyes moving towards Xin Yan.

"Once she breaks through to the core formation realm, she can join the Inner Sect and gain more resources." She also nodded in agreement before adding, "We can also use this chance to properly establish a classification for the sect. We need more disciples as well."

"Outer Courtyard? Aren't disciples in the foundation establishment realm usually qualified to enter the Inner Courtyard?" Even though Zhong Hua found it weird, she did not dare to voice her thoughts and simply nodded in agreement. "I will give her the good news!"

With an excited look on her face, Zhong Hua pulled out a talisman from her storage ring and sent a string of messages through it.

"While that is done, do you have anything else to do here?"

"Not really. I have been getting bored staying here in my room all the time." Hearing about leaving, Zhong Hua became oddly cheery, which made Zhong Ben narrow his eyes.

'Did she do something with her brother's room again? Looks like that poor child of mine will suffer again.' Zhong Ben shook his head silently, choosing to allow his son to suffer.

It was at that time, the door of the guest house opened once more, and a young woman in her mid-twenties appeared before everyone, dressed in modest robes. With a quick scan of the room, she entered with her head lowered.

"I have met the family head, young master, Senior. You called for me, young miss." Xu Lan instantly noticed Noah and recognized him. She immediately bowed to greet everyone besides Zhong Hua. Despite how close they appeared with her young miss, she was merely a maid, and she had to greet properly.

When her eyes finally landed on Zhong Hua, they froze for a moment as if she had been struck by lightning. "…Young miss."

Hearing the quiver in her maid's voice, Zhong Hua understood that she must have noticed the oddity of her cultivation. "Everything is fine, Xu Lan. We are leaving for a new sect we have joined. So go prepare the necessary things for the both of us."

"We?" Xu Lan's lips twitched, seeing the nonchalant attitude of her miss before the guests, but she chose not to embarrass the young woman.

"Yes, we! I took the liberty to sign you up. Aren't I the best young miss?" Zhong Hua declared with her head held high. Seeing her acting like this made Xu Lan sigh a bit.

'I don't know what happened, but it looks like she is not sad about it.' Since she had been living with Zhong Hua since she was a child, she knew her very well, maybe only next to her parents. "Very well, young miss. I will take my leave now!"

With a small bow towards everyone, the maid left the room. No one else had spoken up since she arrived, but they had been looking at their interaction with an interested and amused look.

…

At the front gates of the Zhong Family estate, after bidding everyone farewell and packing their stuff, Zhong Hua and Xu Lan stood beside Noah and Xin Yan while the rest of the family stood there to see them off.

With a last glance, Zhong Hua boarded the flying artifact that looked like a carriage, followed by her maid, and then Noah and Xin Yan.

Woosh!

With a sudden push to the ground, the carriage shot up in the sky at an alarming speed, sending gusts of wind all around the area it stood on once. Zhong Ben's warm smile disappeared as he lost sight of the flying artifact. With a serious look on his face, he turned around and entered his house.
