388: Chapter 388 Ying Huanhuan: Could it be love at first sight?

Under the watchful eyes of Gu Han and the other two, two young women walked in from outside the main hall.

The young woman on the left wore a cyan long dress and appeared to be in her early twenties. Her three thousand strands of dark hair hung down naturally, resting smoothly against her slender waist. She possessed the composure of a young lady from a noble family, yet carried an air of natural spontaneity. Her legs were long, her posture upright, and her face was delicate and beautiful. Though she wore no makeup, she possessed a unique charm.

The young woman on the right looked to be in her early teens, dressed in a blue robe. She gave off an aura of youthful exuberance, her face brimming with a smile. Her dark, bright eyes occasionally flashed with a cunning glint. Her features were extremely exquisite, and although young, she already showed signs of a peerless beauty.

There was a slight resemblance between the two women's brows and eyes, indicating they were related. The former was calm, while the latter was lively.

They were none other than Ying Xuanzi's two daughters: the eldest, Ying Xiaoxiao, and the second, Ying Huanhuan.

The former shouldered the responsibilities of the Senior Sister in Dao Sect, while the latter was like a little princess.

"If you keep spouting nonsense, I will ground you," Ying Xiaoxiao said in a stern tone.

"Wuwu." Ying Huanhuan pouted and turned her eyes forward: "Father, look at Sister, she… uh."

Just as Ying Huanhuan was about to put on an act, her gaze was drawn to Gu Han, who was sitting in the seat below Ying Xuanzi.

His temperament was otherworldly, his appearance handsome, giving people a sense of returning to simplicity and truth. But these were not the main points.

For some reason, this young man gave her an extremely intimate feeling, making her want to get close to him, to snuggle up to him.

Thinking of some of the storybooks she had read, a flush of crimson appeared on Ying Huanhuan's cheeks: "Could it be… love at first sight?"

The young girl couldn't hide her thoughts, and she blurted the words out.

Although it was very soft, given the cultivation levels of Gu Han and the other two, they naturally heard it clearly.

Gu Han: "Could it possibly be because of the Ancestral Symbol of Ice?"

"Huanhuan, do not be rude," Ying Xuanzi said with a hint of helplessness.

Seeing Ying Huanhuan's behavior, he feared that if she heard Gu Han wanted her to be his personal maid, she would nod and agree immediately.

This daughter was truly raised for someone else's family.

"Sister, do not be rude," Ying Huanhuan glared at Ying Xiaoxiao.

"I'll settle accounts with you later." Ying Xiaoxiao snorted inwardly, but still let go of the hand pinching Ying Huanhuan's ear, and bowed respectfully: "Father, Grandpa Lin."

"Father, Grandpa Lin." Ying Huanhuan was not as disciplined, but her voice was exceptionally sweet.

"Mm." Ying Xuanzi nodded slightly and said directly: "I called you here because of this Hall Master of Xuanwu Hall."

"I only learned today that the Great Desolate Tablet is actually one of the nine great divine objects from the ancient era, and it is suppressing a Devil."

"A Devil?" Ying Huanhuan asked instinctively, a chill rising from the depths of her Soul.

"Devils are foreign destroyers who invaded this world in the ancient era. They are terrifying and detestable, full of aggression and a desire for destruction." Ying Xuanzi explained briefly, then added: "The Devil suppressed under the Great Desolate Tablet is equivalent to a powerhouse at the first stage of the Samsara Realm."

"If he breaks free, destroying Dao Sect would be effortless."

This information made Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan turn pale.

Thinking of the monstrous demonic flames, the entire Dao Sect turning into ruins, and the scenes of countless familiar faces dying tragically, they felt a wave of fear.

No wonder Ying Xuanzi was treating Gu Han with such solemnity.

"Thank you, Hall Master," Ying Xiaoxiao bowed to Gu Han, and Ying Huanhuan's eyes were also filled with gratitude.

"No need for courtesy," Gu Han smiled lightly. "Slaying Devils is the responsibility of every living being."

"Besides, I will be taking the Great Desolate Tablet, which can be considered a form of compensation."

"Taking the Great Desolate Tablet?" Ying Huanhuan's expression tightened, and she asked anxiously: "Then what about the Great Desolate Scripture?"

"Huanhuan!" Ying Xuanzi reprimanded, feeling that Ying Huanhuan was being too rude.

"Father, I have no objection to this Hall Master of Xuanwu Hall taking the Great Desolate Tablet," Ying Huanhuan explained anxiously. "After all, we haven't succeeded in subduing the Great Desolate Tablet either."

"But the Great Desolate Scripture is one of the four great famous Heaven-class martial arts of our Dao Sect. No one has learned it since Senior Brother Zhou Tong."

"If Hall Master Gu takes the Great Desolate Tablet away, won't we lose the opportunity to learn the Great Desolate Scripture forever?"

"I still want to learn the Great Desolate Scripture and go settle scores with those guys from Yuan Sect."

Ying Huanhuan was not greedy for the Great Desolate Tablet. Even though she originally thought the tablet should belong to Dao Sect, since Gu Han had done a favor for the sect, she wouldn't want to keep it.

She just wanted to learn the Great Desolate Scripture. She had a premonition that she would definitely be able to learn it; it was just that her cultivation was lacking a bit now, which was why she hadn't gained the recognition of the Great Desolate Tablet's spirit.

"Hall Master Gu has already resolved this matter," Ying Xuanzi's eyes softened as he said, "Hall Master Gu possesses immense strength. Refining the Great Desolate Tablet and suppressing the Devil King is effortless for him, and learning the Great Desolate Scripture is equally easy."

"He has promised to leave this martial art in Dao Sect. From now on, this Heaven-class martial art will be like the town-hall martial arts of the other three halls. As long as one is a Personal Disciple and has sufficient merit, they can attempt to practice it."

Upon hearing this, a light burst forth from the depths of Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Zhou Tong was Ying Xuanzi's only Personal Disciple. In her heart, he was no different from her own brother, having often taken care of her when she was young.

When Zhou Tong fought his way to Yuan Sect and was suppressed, she was about the same age as Ying Huanhuan is now.

If she could learn the Great Desolate Scripture, she would also go and avenge Zhou Tong.

"So that's how it is." Ying Huanhuan blushed with embarrassment, formed her hand into a fist, and coughed lightly in front of her small mouth: "Then just pretend I said nothing, nothing at all."

Ying Xuanzi sighed softly. With Ying Huanhuan like this, could she really be a good personal maid for Gu Han?

"Hall Master Gu, look at Huanhuan…" Ying Xuanzi hinted for Gu Han to reconsider.

Gu Han released a trace of pressure, and the heaven and earth were instantly solidified: "I am an ice-attribute Cultivator, and your daughter is as well. She is a rare Prodigy in this world, but no one on the entire continent can teach her properly."

Ying Xuanzi's heart skipped a beat, and at the same time, he felt a sudden realization. He immediately stopped hesitating and said to Ying Huanhuan: "Huanhuan, Hall Master Gu wants to take you as his personal maid. I wonder if you are interested? You must decide this for yourself."

Ying Xuanzi did not mention what benefits he would receive if Ying Huanhuan agreed.

He genuinely felt that Ying Huanhuan following Gu Han was a very good thing for Ying Huanhuan herself.

If he mentioned the benefits he would gain to influence Ying Huanhuan's decision, then this matter would be like a transaction.

As a father, he only hoped for his daughter's well-being and would not use his daughter for a transaction.

"Personal maid? Me?" Ying Huanhuan pointed at her own nose.

"Mm." Gu Han nodded slightly: "I currently have three personal maids. One has strength comparable to the Peak of the first stage of the Samsara Realm, and the other two are comparable to powerhouses in the Wheel Turning Stage."

Gu Han was referring to Qing Lin, Huo Zhi, and Ling Qingxuan.

The three women were indeed his personal maids, but they were also his concubines.

Huo Zhi and Ling Qingxuan were women gifted to him by the Yan Clan and the Spirit Clan.

Yao Ling was not considered a personal maid, but a medicinal maid, just like Cao Ying.

Ying Xuanzi and the others: "…"
