Hovering in the air, completely invisible to other, Shen Yu looked at the carriage entering the deepest part of the manor where it finally stopped.
He smiled as he guessed that this was the home of Qing Zhiyan. He wanted to visit her, especially since he also needed to talk to her mother. But he restrained himself.
After all, Qing Zhiyan also needed some time to talk to her mother and tell her everything.
[Master, you're just hoping that she says some good things about you to her mother, right?]
'Well, yeah. She is the empress, after all so gaining her trust would be quite tough otherwise. I just hope Zhiyan manages to lower her guard. I'll see the things after that.'

[Master really is a pervert. You want a oyakadon, right?]
Shen Yu shrugged, "Well, yeah. That's literally the dream of so many man. Beside, you know my policy. I'm mainly doing this for her safety too. If she says no, then I'll give her safety anyways."
[I really don't know what to say. Anyways, ignoring that, why don't you explore the city? You haven't really had a proper rest and chance to explore the world, have you?]
With narrowed eyes, Shen Yu asked, as he could sense something amiss in the system's voice, "Why are suggesting me out of nowhere?"
[*Cough* I just detected a plot opportunity.]
Shen Yu rolled his eyes but still considered the suggestion. It was a good idea as he never really explored the world properly. The world of Xianxia was so beautiful and exploring it was one of his wishes.
But from the time he transmigrated, he didn't get the time to take proper rest and explore the world. Most of the time, he was busy with his wives and although he enjoyed their company a lot, he also felt that he should explore the world.
After all, with his powers he might as well become God one day and he certainly didn't want to loose humanity.
Thinking of all this, he decided to have a stroll in the capital.
But there was nothing he could do. He was just a kid and what could a small boy do after thrown away to face the cruel world.
So, he just let the boy go. Atleast, he would eat a few days with that amount. But then he thought of something and sighed.
'Keep it safe, boy. Although it wasn't a huge amount, if your peers got to know about it, you'll die.'
This was his sincere advice and he made sure to transfer it to the boy.
The black headed boy stopped in his tracks and turned around. His eyes shone with a strange light that made Shen Yu shudder from inside.
He clutched his chest and gulped.
'Ah! Those eyes are dangerous.'
"Did that boy steal your pocket, young man?"
A hoarse voice sounded beside him, waking him up from his thoughts.
He turned around to look at the old man, sitting on the corner of the road. He had a table placed in front of him and many accessories were on it for sell. His clothes matched the slums, making his old body seemed even more old.
But there was a wise aura around him, speaking of his harsh life.
Shen Yu smiled and crouched near his empty stall.
"Yes. Why do you ask, old man?"
The old man shook his head and fiddled around his shirt's pocket. As if finally finding something, he took it out and streched his wrinkled, thin arm that trembled with each movement.
He took Shen Yu's hand and placed the item he has taken out previously on his palm. He patted his hand and said.
"I ask you to not go after him. You can consider it as this old man's last request."
