Chapter 49: His Purpose

She clearly remembered that the person she chose should be at least in his thirties. However, although the man in front of her was somewhat disabled, he seemed only to be around 20 years old.
Huangfu Ruiling said with a faint smile, “My age? Do I look old?”
“No, no, absolutely not.” She shook her head repeatedly. “You’re so young. Why did I say that? I just wanted to be polite.”
To be honest, when she first saw him, she only felt wary. However, after finding out who he was, she only felt guilty. In the end, she was indeed in the wrong because she added her name to his household register without his consent. Although this had done little harm to him, she felt like she was a thief being caught by the owner.
“Oh, looks like you know you are in the wrong!” Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows.
“This is indeed my fault.” Ye Leng’an took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “It was my fault for making you my guardian without your permission. No matter what the reason was, a mistake was a mistake, and I admit it. Don’t worry, I’ll immediately remove my name from your household register. As for my mistake, whether it caused you any losses or not, you can ask for reasonable compensation. I will consider it.”
That was right, she would only consider it if the compensation was reasonable. She wouldn’t make her remark of absolutes. After all, if he asked for an exorbitant price, she wouldn’t be able to agree.
Huangfu Ruiling didn’t look like a person to be trifled with. She didn’t want to have any contact with him at all. If she had known it earlier, she would not have chosen a guardian randomly or would have investigated the candidates carefully. And nothing like this would have happened today.
However, his murderous aura was powerfully threatening. This kind of killing intent could even devour a powerhouse at the Ascension Stage. However, Huangfu Ruiling acted as if nothing had happened and did not even let it hurt the people around him. If they had stood on the same footing, she would have really wanted to study it carefully.
“I don’t need any compensation from you.” Huangfu Ruiling said, “As for the household registration, you don’t need to change it. I don’t mind having one more person in my household register.”
His answer did not make Ye Leng’an feel relieved. Instead, it made her even more vigilant. “What do you mean?”
She did not believe that he came to her house today just to take a look at the person on his household register. However, no matter what his goal was, she would not sit still and wait for death.
“I mean I don’t need you to give me any compensation.” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an, “And you don’t need to change your household registration. You can’t do anything with it right now either.”
It was easy to add her name, but it was not so easy to remove it.
“What do you want from me?” Ye Leng’an calmed down and looked at Huangfu
Ruiling. “Or should I say, what is your purpose for coming here today?”
He must have a purpose for coming here today. Since things had reached such a pass, there was no need to continue hiding. It was better to get everything out in the open. Moreover, she was not to be trifled with. If he really angered her, she would just fight to the death.
“You don’t have to be so nervous.” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an and said, “You must be a cultivator! ‘
“You…” Ye Leng’an seemed to have suddenly thought of something. “You were at the sales center back then!”
She said that in an affirmative tone, and it was not a question. When she saw Huangfu Ruiling’s murderous aura, she was vigilant and did not remember that. When she was at the sales center, she sensed a very strong murderous aura. When she thought about it now, it must come from him.
“That’s right.” He nodded. “Do you know that all cultivators must register in the
Hidden World? This is also for the convenience of management.”
“The Hidden World?” She frowned slightly. “I don’t know about that.”
Although she had heard of the Hidden World before, she was still unclear about some of the rules and regulations. In her previous life, she had never had the chance to come into contact with these things.
“Cultivators are much more powerful than ordinary people. If there are no restrictions, the world will be in chaos.” He explained, “So all cultivators must accept the rules and regulations set by the Hidden World’s law enforcement team. If you violate them, you will be hunted down by the law enforcement team. ”
“You didn’t come here today just to tell me these things, right?” Her face was still full of vigilance. “Why don’t you just tell me your purpose directly?”
“Very good. Since you’re being honest, I won’t hide it too.” He said directly,
“You are an alchemist, so you are also a doctor. I came here today to ask you to help me save someone..”
