"What?!"
Hua's father was shocked.
"Are you sure? He has no experience in this work. Isn't it careless to make him the guard of the head's daughter?"
Hua's father said in worry.
"What are you worrying about? It isn't like he is the only guard, there are others too."
"But still..."
His worry was understandable.
If just in case something happens to the head's daughter, the responsibility will lie with the bodyguards and they might even get executed for it.
"But of course..."
Mister Yang said
"Since this is such an important job the pay will be good as well."
He extended his finger upwards.
"You will get one siemen stone per month."
On hearing his words Hua's father was baffled.
In this world half a siemen stone could last a family of four non-siemen masters for a month without a problem.
Getting one siemen stone per month as a bodyguard was a very good offer.
Han Yu thought about it for sometime and finally came to a decision
"I accept."
He said with resolve.
Though this was a risky job the gain was also worth the risk.
Han Yu wanted to be as strong as he could possibly be in a short time, so that he could leave the village and begin his journey of a siemen master.
"Well, then..."
Mister Yang said
"Let's go to my room. I'll give you details of your job."
...
"So you got the job huh?"
Hua said with disdain in her voice.
"Yeah."
Han Yu answered without minding the disdain in her voice.
He was kind of used to this by now.
"I just can't wait until you earn enough and get out of this house."
"Or have you decided to stay here all your life?"
"Of course not"
Han Yu replied.
"I will leave when I feel like I have earned enough."
"And when will that time come?"
Hua asked, there was a hint of anger in her voice.
"I have no idea myself. But it shouldn't be more than five years."
Hua almost choked on hearing his response.
'five years?!'
'who does he think he is? living in my house like that?'
Hua wanted nothing more than to kick him out right this moment but she was helpless as she could not go against her father.
...
"So you are my new bodyguard."
There was a young girl standing in front of him.
She was the head's daughter.
She had a fair skin, a round face and curled hair.
She had a perfect figure and her crimson eyes made her even more charming.
'She is still not an equal to Hua though.'
Han Yu was confident about it.
The woman in front of her was undoubtedly beautiful but Hua was even more beautiful.
'It's pretty ironic, I am meeting beauties when I have lost everything.'
Han Yu had never seen such beautiful girls in his village.
It was actually very ironic that he was discovering beauties after losing everything.
Sha Xin was the name of the lady in front of him.
"Hmph! My father's overprotective nature is becoming a headache now. Seriously, wasn't one guard enough that he appointed two more?!"
It was very clear to see that she was tired of her father's overprotective nature.
But it was understandable, after all she was the head's daughter and hence was target to many people with ill intentions.
As her bodyguard Han Yu had the job to protect her.
But all day he did nothing but follow her around like a dog.
This went on for some moths but nothing changed.
He began to wonder if anyone even had ill intentions towards her.
'Why is there no one attacking or trying to kidnap her or something? I am tired of following her around like I am her servant.'
Han Yu's wish soon came true but not in a positive way.
Han Yu was sleeping soundly in the nighttime.
But suddenly he woke up and opened the door of Sha Xin's room.
Han Yu was terrified by what he saw.
The room in which Sha Xin is supposed to be sleeping was now completely empty.
Han Yu had woken up because he sensed an unfamiliar presence of someone around him and thought that someone was here to target Sha Xin but he would've never thought that someone would be faster than him.
It has been months since he began to cultivate using whatever siemen stones he used to get as his salary and whatever he had left after paying his rent to Hua's father.
Although he was only rank one he was still a siemen master no normal human should be his match.
Right when Han Yu was thinking who could have done it, he sensed traces of unfamiliar siemen energy in the room.
Sweat trickled down his head.
"Shit"
"Exactly what I was afraid of."
The traces were enough for Han Yu to understand that a siemen master was involved in it.
"If that's the case..."
If that's the case Han Yu was in a very troublesome situation.
Although he was a siemen master himself he wasn't confident in fighting against a siemen master.
That was because first, he only trained for some months and second he had very little siemen stones to cultivate and finally he had literally no artifact, the only thing he had as a weapon was his ordinary sword.
If he fought against a siemen master, he would probably stand no chance.
But...
"I have no other option damn it!!"
