Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System

One more thing elder Dongmei noticed was Han Cai's greed; he would rob his every mission target ruthlessly.

Aside from sucking up as many spirit stone mines as he could find, every time Han Cai killed or did missions, he would also take away the spirit stones or any valuable possessions his targets had. He will send his subordinates with the robbed possessions to his family so they can trade those possessions. Elder Dongmei easily noticed the possessions of targets being traded by Han Family members.

Elder Dongmei thought robbing the targets was not a good idea when the sect was already providing him with so many resources. Thinking about punishing Han Cai, Elder Dongmei decided to increase the levels of his missions; each month, Elder Dongmei would give Han Cai a mission with a little bit more difficulty, which Han Cai would complete without any challenges.

With his cultivation and skills, he was always too powerful for his targets, and before they could realize what was going on, they would be dead.

But when Elder Dongmei gave Han Cai difficult missions, he was also worried that Han Cai would get seriously injured.

Elder Dongmie tried to send core formation level and golden core level protectors to protect Han Cai secretly during the missions, but Han Cai would disappear after taking the missions, and none of the protectors were able to find him. This concerned Elder Dongmei more.

After a similar situation occurred during three missions, he called Han Cai and told him that he wanted to assign him protectors, but Han Cai would disappear when the mission was given, and even the golden core elders were not able to find him. Which was not good because his protectors should always know where he was in case he got into any trouble.

Han Cai only said that he did not need protectors; it was his targets that needed protection.

Elder Dongmei did not believe him. He thought Han Cai was being an overconfident brat who did not know the consequences of his actions and would understand them only when he got attacked or ambushed.

But Elder Dongmei was not ready for such a risk; the sect had invested a lot in this golden goose of theirs.

While Elder was thinking about how to convince Han Cai to keep protectors with him, suddenly, a hand tapped his shoulders. When elder Dongmei turned around, he saw it was Han Cai tapping his shoulder.

Elder Dongmei almost lost it.

He moved his gaze to where Han Cai was standing, but there was no one there.

Elder Dongmei was perplexed because Han Cai was in front of his eyes when his shoulder was tapped. It meant Han Cai was both in front of him and behind him at the same time.

Worse, even his spirit sense couldn't tell when Han Cai vanished from the front and reappeared behind him.

After calming down, Elder realized that what Han Cai said was true and that he did not need protection anymore; it was his targets who needed protection.

Soon the sect master also found out how his disciple was playing with Elder, and he wanted to scold Han Cai for his behavior, but he also felt proud that his disciple was so skilled and powerful that he could outsmart even the most experienced Elder Dongmei.

Han Cai's abode.

After playing the flute, Han Cai entered the garden from the terrace of his cave abode. The flute flew into his body and into his dantian through his fingers. The flute was slowly healing as Han Cai played it every morning. He wanted to recover this incredible treasure that had become a part of him as soon as possible.

Han Cai noticed Yongnian clearing snow in the garden.  Yongnian, who used to be an outer sect poison elder of the sect, was now a proper butler at Han Cai's quarters.

Becoming Han Cai's subordinate did not mean that Yongnian had become a man without thoughts or emotions. In the beginning, even though he was loyal to Han Cai, he complained a lot in his mind, and he especially cursed the day when core disciple Qiang came to him, asking him to make poison to kill Han Cai. After that, his life was turned upside down.

His biggest pet peeve with this situation was that he did not even commit the offense and was serving time for it, as he was still waiting for the poison; it had not arrived, and he had not even started concocting when the elders of the discipline hall apprehended him and his faction disciples.

He and his faction's disciples were interrogated under the influence of some incense, and after that, some black-clothed people, who he later found out belonged to the dark hall, came and branded them with beast slave marks, and the control medallion was given to inner core disciple Han Cai.

Whenever he cleaned the garden with a broom in his hands, he would shake his head in disappointment at how low the mighty poison elder of the outer sect had fallen.

But as he served Han Cai, he realized that his boss was nothing like normal core disciples. Han Cai never called him his slave but his subordinate.

Soon Yongnian realized that becoming subordinate to Han Cai was the best thing that ever happened to him. He found out that Han Cai was very mysterious. The more he came to understand Han Cai, the more unfathomable he felt Han Cai was.

Han Cai even helped him improve his cultivation.

As time passed, Yongnian started to have a deep reverence for his boss. Without even realizing it, the outer sect poison Elder Yongnian had completely transformed into Butler Yongnian. When he cleaned the garden, he did so diligently.

After coming to the garden, Han Cai sat down. A gray-robed maid soon brought tea into the garden for Han Cai. While Han Can sipped his tea, she looked intently at him like she wanted to speak to him. You could see infatuation in her eyes. Han Cai knew how his charm affected the girls, so he ignored her and drank his tea quietly.

The maid was none other than Xiaoyun.

Han Cai had no intention of keeping her. But to the sect master, she was still his disciple. The sect master was worried. If she was left in the outer sect as a grey robe, knowing how rotten the outer sect elders were, if something happened, there would be another scandal.

When Xiaoyun's punishment was decided that she would serve as a gray robe, the sect master found out that he had only two choices: either keep Xiaoyun with him or send her to serve Han Cai. He was worried that if he saw her again, because of his love for his disciple, he might forgive her, which was against sect rules and his morals.

Hence The sect master personally visited Han Cai and asked Han Cai to take Xiaoyun into his abode as a maid for forty years.

Han Cai asked him if he was sure, and He also mentioned that the next time the sect master sees Xioayun, it would be her dead body if Xiaoyun tried anything funny. It was better for the sect master to send her to the outer sect or throw her out of the sect.

The sect master was aware that Han Cai had turned ruthless for some reason, but he felt it was still better to send her to Han Cai's abode instead outer sect. He knew how careful his disciple was and how much Han Cai respected him. Even if Han Cai was saying he would kill Xiaoyun sect master was sure his disciple would not kill her, and most he would do is knock her out before she tried anything funny.  The kind-hearted sect master truly believed that as she was Han Cai's senior sister, there was no way Han Cai would wrong him or her even if she was serving the punishment as maid.

To convince Han Cai, the sect master tried to explain that there was no way she could conspire against him because all the servants in his cave abode had slave marks, and they could not betray him. Even if she did not have the slave mark, she could not leave his cave abode to collude against him; she had to go outside his cave abode to conspire, and her movements and cultivation were restricted. And now that Han Cai was strong, there was no way she could hurt him. She was just a mere mortal right now, while he was one of the strongest cultivators in the whole sect.

Besides, Dark Hall and discipline hall kept watch on the movements of his servants all day, and even the food brought to Han Cai was checked. So there was no way she could do anything to harm him.

Han Cai still rejected the sect master. He was not interested in such drama.

But the sect master kept whining about how he had only two disciples; they were his family, one of whom had gone astray. If they do not help each other, he will feel like a failure as a master. He tried to emotionally blackmail Han Cai into taking care of Xiaoyun. But Han Cai did not budge.

At the end, the sect master actually got up and was planning to bow to Han Cai and beg him, even though he was Han Cai's master.

No matter how cold-hearted Han Cai had become in the last few years, he owed his master a lot, and he could not let him beg his own disciple.

Finally, Han Cai gave in. No matter what the sect master was his master, everything he had now was because of the sect master. So to avoid more drama from his master, he accepted Xiaoyun.

But Han Cai was not planning to entertain the girl; if he sees any signs that she is going astray, he will just end her and move on.

And that is how, besides Yongnian the Butler, tea maid Xiaoyun joined Han's abode.
