Sophia moved forward and bowed again: “Greetings, two seniors. Thank you for your help again, and I would like to apologize again if I mistook the little master as your son.”

Upon hearing this, Mike's eyes enlarged, and he looked toward Rod, seeing that Rod was blushing. Now, he understood why the two acted oddly. Elowen was about to reply, but Mike jumped in front of Sophia, looking into her eyes with full amazement: “Sister, you look too beautiful, like stars in the middle of the night.”

When Sophia heard Mike's compliment, she smiled: “Thank you for your kind words, little master.”

Upon hearing Sophia, Mike innocently replied: “You can stop calling me little master; you can call me little brother or soon-to-be baby.”

When Rod heard it, he almost laughed out loud, but he managed to control it, while Elowen was smiling.

Sophia smiled sweetly and touched Mike's small head: “Little brother, you are too adorable, hehe.”

Mike blushed when he heard Sophia and glanced at the smiling Rod: “Right, big sister, you said that you thought I was their child when you met us?”

Upon hearing Mike, Sophia nodded with an embarrassed expression, and Mike noticed. He added while pretending to be sad, with tears in his eyes: “Big sister, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. In fact, I want to become their child too, and I want them to give me a little brother or sister, but they don’t want to do it.”

At Mike's last sentence, he cried, hugging Sophia. Sophia hugged the little Mike, and he buried his face between the two mountains while pretending.

On the other hand, Elowen was embarrassed and shocked because all of Mike's words were a lie, while Rod looked at the crying Mike but happy at the same time, thinking: “Damn! This shameless person. He sold us so that he can throw himself into the lady's arms.”

Rod looked at Sophia and tried to explain: “Lady Sophia, don’t listen to my little brother's nonsense.”

Upon hearing Rod, Mike cried out loud, hugging Sophia tightly, making sure he buried his face well: “Wua hu hu hu! I want a little brother!”

Seeing this, Sophia felt pity, while Rod's face twisted from a mix of embarrassment and anger. Elowen was shocked, embarrassed, and confused. She didn’t understand what's going on, unlike Rod, who knew that they were being sold so that their lord could take advantage of the lady with his innocent face and little body. Rod knew that their lord was a big pervert.

Sophia slowly let go of Mike, and Mike reluctantly let go of his grip. Sophia said: “What, little brother? You can’t just say what you want just because you want it. Maybe the two seniors have a reason why they didn’t give you a younger brother or sister.”

Mike, wiping his fake tears, looked at Sophia with his innocent expression: “You think so?”

Sophia nodded seriously and took a quick glance at Rod and Elowen, noticing that both of them were quite embarrassed: “Hmm.”

Mike spoke in a serious but childish tone: “Big sister, you look too beautiful and kind. If I grow up, I want you to become my wife.”

Upon hearing Mike, Sophia only smiled and didn’t take it seriously because in her eyes, Mike was still a child: “Sorry, little brother, big sister doesn’t mind it, but your big sister already has an arranged marriage.”

Mike looked at Sophia's eyes and asked: “Big sister, do you agree with your arranged marriage?”

When Sophia heard Mike's question, his face changed, and sadness could be seen. Rod noticed this, and his skin crawled because she knew something bad would happen.

Sophia: “No, but I have no choice. My only way out was to successfully enter one of the six sects. If I can’t, I have no choice but to agree.”

Before Mike could respond, Sophia bowed again toward Rod and Elowen: “Two seniors, thank you again for helping us. I need to go now; I still have important matters to attend to at the academy.”

Elowen nodded and replied: “Go on, be safe.”

Sophia nodded her head, looking back at the two old men: “Elder, let's go.”

Mike silently watched Sophia moving away, he wanted to give her some potion, but he knew it was not right to do it in public. Seeing Mike looking toward Sophia like a fool, Rod moved over and spoke: “Ahem, my little brother, you succeeded in selling every inch of my bones.”

When Elowen heard it, she realized what was going on and felt embarrassed and wronged: “My lord!”

Seeing the two reactions, Mike smiled awkwardly: “Come on, don’t be mad; I will compensate you. Let's go inside.”

Elowen and Rod then followed Mike, and they reached Elowen's office. Elowen opened the door, and Mike took out the whole pile of four piles of Heavenly crystals in his storage ring, totaling 2 million heavenly crystals.

When the two saw the pile of heavenly crystals, Rod couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise: “What! My lord, this sum is too much!”

Mike smiled smugly and took out another 2 million heavenly crystals. This time, it was Elowen who was shocked: “My lord, this total of crystals is too insane. Even for an empire or top clans, 4 million high-grade heavenly crystals are comparable to 10 years of resources that our empire mines.”

Upon hearing Elowen, Mike replied nonchalantly: “That was nothing; I still have plenty. You two can take 1 million each for your cultivation, and the 2 million left is to nurture the 20 Elite squad.”

Mike then took out 74 God-rank Qi concentration potions from his storage ring: “You two can have 10 each, and the 54 bottles use them to nurture the elite squad. Remember, don’t solely rely on these heavenly crystals and Qi concentration potions. You two must catch criminals, but before absorbing them, search their souls to see what kind of crime they did and the reason for it. If they take revenge and kill a lot of people, but they didn’t kill innocents, there is no reason to execute them. Try to recruit them instead because those kinds of people are usually loyal.”

Upon hearing Mike, the two nodded their heads, and Mike added: “And also investigate which clan or sect forced Sister Sophia's clan to agree to the marriage.”

When Rod heard it, he smiled: “Yes, my lord; we won’t disappoint you.”

Mike nodded, adding while looking at Elowen: “Right. When will the principal arrive?”

Elowen looked at Mike and replied: “My lord, it should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

When Mike heard it, he replied: “Okay, I want to enter closed-door cultivation. Do you have a room that no one uses?”

Elowen: “Yes, my lord. Follow me.”

Mike then followed Elowen while Rod remained in Elowen's office to organize the stuff that Mike had just taken out. After walking for a while, they arrived in a VIP room.
