Just when Qiu Yan didn't know how to reply to Qiu Shuang, Xiao Nan at the side started assisting again and said, "Brother, I think it's not bad to let Qiu Shuang be your servant. After all, Qiu Shuang knows a lot. You can ask her if you have any questions in the future. And I think Qiu Shuang is very clever and she is probably good at taking care of people. In addition, Qiu Shuang's reward is not high, only one spiritual peach a day. You just need to save the fruit you eat after meals every day for Qiu Shuang. Isn't that great?"

After hearing what Xiaonan said, Qiu Yan glanced at Xiaonan unhappily, and then said, "What do you know, little pumpkin? This is not a question of reward at all!"

"If it's not a question of compensation, then what is the question? Are you afraid that you will develop feelings for Sister Qiu Shuang if you stay with her for a long time?" Xiao Nan said unyieldingly after hearing Qiu Yan's words.

Qiu Yan was speechless about his sister. As a sister, she dared to openly contradict him. Qiu Yan couldn't stand it. He felt that he had to let Xiao Nan know the awareness of being a sister, otherwise there would be trouble in the future! Thinking of this, Qiu Yan said to Xiao Nan, "Little Pumpkin, let me make it clear again. You are the sister and I am the brother. You have to listen to your brother and cannot object to his decision. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Xiaonan nodded seriously after hearing Qiuyan's words, and then continued, "But brother, sister Qiu Shuang and you both have the surname Qiu, you are both from the Qiu family, and she is willing to be your sister and servant in order to get cultivation resources. If you don't agree, wouldn't it be a bit too hurtful? Besides, brother, you have been in the mountains for many years and don't understand the world of the human race at all. Isn't it right to find someone who understands by your side? Why don't you want to?"

After listening to Xiaonan's words, Qiuyan thought for a while, then he looked at Qiushuang. Seeing the expectant and nervous expression on Qiushuang's face, Qiuyan breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, then said, "Okay! Then be a servant! The reward is as you said before, one spiritual peach a day."

Hearing Qiu Yan agree to her proposal to be a servant, Qiu Shuang finally showed a happy expression on her face. She looked at Qiu Yan and bowed deeply to him, then said, "Thank you, Master!" After that, Qiu Shuang turned to look at Xiao Nan, and then said to Xiao Nan, "Thank you, Miss Xiao Nan, too."

After hearing what Qiu Shuang said, Xiao Nan gave her an understanding smile, and then did not say much. Qiu Yan felt something was not right at this time. He looked at Qiu Shuang and said, "Qiu Shuang, although you are my servant now, you should still call me by my name in the future. You don't have to call me master. I feel that calling me master is a bit weird."

After hearing Qiu Yan's words, Qiu Shuang smiled politely, and then said, "Master, I am your servant, and it is my duty to call you Master. Once you get used to it, you won't find it strange anymore."

After Qiu Shuang finished speaking, Xiao Nan added, "Brother, Sister Qiu Shuang doesn't call you master for nothing. I'll give you a spiritual peach a day. Just agree to it!"

Xiaonan looked like she was just looking for fun, and Qiuyan was speechless. He thought about it and decided that it was okay. There was no point in arguing with two women. Let them do whatever they want! Thinking of this, Qiuyan sighed and said, "Okay! Do whatever you want!"

After saying that, Qiu Yan took a look at the spiritual peaches that he had just taken out, then looked at Qiu Shuang and said, "Take these spiritual peaches first, one a day, and tell me when you're gone. However, my spiritual peaches are not unlimited, at most they can only last you a few years, and then you'll have to find a way out for yourself!"

After hearing Qiu Yan's words, Qiu Shuang couldn't help but be shocked again. How many spiritual peaches would be needed to feed two people for several years? However, although she had not known Qiu Yan for a long time, Qiu Yan had given her too many surprises. At this time, she seemed to have gotten used to it. So, after being shocked, Qiu Shuang immediately returned to her previous expression and said to Qiu Yan with a smile, "Yes, Master, a few years is enough!" After that, Qiu Shuang put away the spiritual peaches that Qiu Yan gave her. Qiu Shuang didn't take Qiu Yan's words about letting her find a way out in a few years to heart, because that was a matter of a few years later, and she didn't need to think too much about it now.

After Qiu Shuang put away the spiritual peach, Qiu Yan looked at Qiu Shuang and Xiao Nan again, and then said, "Okay, you two should eat quickly! After you finish eating, we will leave here!"

"Yeah!" Qiu Shuang didn't say much after hearing Qiu Yan's words, but just nodded affirmatively. Although Xiao Nan also nodded, she was still very curious about why Qiu Yan was in such a hurry to leave here, so she asked curiously, "Brother, why do we have to go to Sister Qiu Shuang's courtyard in the middle of the night? Can't we go tomorrow?"

After listening to Xiaonan's questions, Qiuyan briefly explained the reason to Xiaonan. After knowing the reason, Xiaonan seemed a little self-blame, because if it wasn't for her shouting that attracted Hu Shao's attention, Hu Shao would not attack him, and if Hu Shao didn't attack him, then these subsequent things would not have happened.

However, although Xiaonan blamed herself, she did not say anything more at this time, nor did she apologize to Qiu Yan, because she knew that her apology would only make Qiu Yan say she was stupid, so she did not bother to apologize to Qiu Yan, her brother.

Just like that, after Xiaonan and Qiushuang finished eating the spiritual peaches, the three of them left the inn together. Taking advantage of the moonlight, under Qiushuang's lead, the three of them arrived at Qiushuang's courtyard. Just as Qiushuang said, her courtyard was indeed quite remote, with no houses around.

Entering Qiu Shuang's courtyard, Qiu Yan found that it was not big, but a standard quadrangle courtyard, which was very tidy. There was nothing extra in the courtyard, only a set of stone tables and chairs. At this time, Qiu Shuang said to Qiu Yan and Xiao Nan, "Master, Miss Xiao Nan, you will live in the east and west main rooms from now on, and I will live in the side room in the west room. The house is a bit simple, I hope Miss Xiao Nan and the master will not dislike it!"

After Qiu Shuang finished speaking, Qiu Yan looked around and said indifferently, "It's not that simple. As long as it can block the wind and rain, it's fine." After speaking, Qiu Yan glanced at Qiu Shuang and Xiao Nan, and then continued, "From now on, you and Xiao Nan will live in the two main rooms on the east and west sides, and I will live in the side room. After all, you two are girls, and it's more convenient for you to live together."

Hearing Qiu Yan say this, Qiu Shuang wanted to refuse. After all, Qiu Yan was his master, and it didn't make sense for the master to live in the side room and the servants to live in the main room. But before Qiu Shuang opened her mouth to refute, she heard Xiao Nan beside her say, "Yeah! I think this is quite appropriate!"

After Xiaonan finished speaking, Qiuyan nodded. He did not give Qiushuang a chance to speak, and directly said to Xiaonan and Qiuyan, "Then it is settled! Both of you did not get enough rest today, so you should go back and have some rest first!" After speaking, Qiuyan thought for a while and then said to Qiushuang, "By the way, Qiushuang, Xiaonan and I may not be able to go out at this time, so I will trouble you to take care of Xiaonan and I's three meals a day in the future."

After hearing Qiu Yan's words, Qiu Shuang nodded first, then looked at Qiu Yan curiously and said, "Master, what about you?" Qiu Yan just said that she would be responsible for her and Xiao Nan's three meals a day, and did not bring Qiu Yan herself, so Qiu Shuang was curious about what Qiu Yan ate.

"Oh! I'm already level 100, so I don't need to eat in the short term. So I want to take advantage of this time to practice in seclusion. If you don't have anything else, don't come to me."

Qiu Yan said calmly. Qiu Shuang nodded after hearing what Qiu Yan said. She knew that she didn't need to eat after reaching level 100, so she didn't ask any more questions. At this time, Qiu Yan continued, "You should also practice well when I am in seclusion. You should not go out except to buy some necessities." After that, Qiu Yan turned his gaze to Xiao Nan, and then continued, "And Pumpkin, I will give you everything I can give you. You must not let me down. You must practice well, understand?"

"Don't worry, brother! I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely break through to level 50 within a year!" Xiaonan patted his chest and assured Qiu Yan.

After hearing Xiaonan's assurance, Qiuyan nodded. Although reaching level 50 in one year is a very simple thing, Qiuyan did not ask too much of Xiaonan. It was enough to reach level 50 in one year. So after hearing Xiaonan's words, Qiuyan nodded and said, "Okay, then you two can go back and rest. I'm going to practice in seclusion too!"

After saying that, Qiu Yan walked towards the side room by himself. Because the moon was very bright tonight, he could see clearly even without turning on the lights in the room, so Qiu Yan walked directly into his room by the moonlight. After entering the room, Qiu Yan looked around and found that the layout of the room was very simple. There was only a bed and a wardrobe, and there was nothing else. Although there was nothing, it was tidied very neatly. Qiu Yan was a person who didn't care about food and accommodation, so after a simple look, Qiu Yan sat on the bed and started practicing.

Qiu Yan hadn't practiced well in the past few days, so now that he was able to settle down a little, he wanted to make up for the missed practice. In addition, through the previous battle with Hu Shao, Qiu Yan realized that his strength was still too poor. Without the help of the Spirit of Life and the Spirit of Destruction, he and Xiao Nan would probably be in danger today. He also knew that although he had the help of the Spirit of Life and the Spirit of Destruction, which allowed him to increase his strength by about 30 levels, there were too many strong people in this world, and a 30-level increase was nothing in front of a real strong person.

Moreover, Qiu Yan felt that his Spirit of Destruction and Spirit of Life could not be displayed with normalized power. Although the two battles did not expose the existence of the Spirit of Destruction, Qiu Yan still understood that if you walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet. Therefore, Qiu Yan felt that he could not rely too much on the Spirit of Destruction. He had to work hard to improve his own strength and use the Spirit of Destruction as his trump card, rather than as a normalized means of winning. This is why Qiu Yan wanted to practice in seclusion. The root cause was that Qiu Yan wanted to become stronger.

Qiu Shuang and Xiao Nan didn't know that Qiu Yan was going to retreat, but it was common for cultivators to retreat, so they didn't think too much about it. After Qiu Yan left, they went to the main room, but they didn't go back to their rooms to sleep. After discussing, they decided to take a bath before going to bed, and Xiao Nan wanted to try the elixir Qiu Yan gave her. So they started to light a fire in the kitchen to boil the elixir. After the elixir was boiled, Xiao Nan put it into the wooden barrel. After it was ready, Qiu Shuang said to Xiao Nan, "Miss Xiao Nan, you take a bath first. I'll go out first."

Qiu Shuang was preparing a medicinal bath for Xiao Nan, but she hadn't prepared her own bath water yet, so she was going to prepare another bath water for herself. But Xiao Nan stopped Qiu Shuang and said, "Sister Qiu Shuang, this elixir is very helpful for cultivation, and it's so expensive. It would be a waste if I take a bath alone. Let's take a bath together!"
