Chapter 69 Patriarchs Mansion

"This…. fuck!"

Jeane said as she entered her room. After the small chat with her father he had send her into her room to prepare for this expert to come. At that time she had smiled sweetly and took her leave. But now there was nothing of the sweet smile left. In it's stead discontent and a bit of rage dominated her facial expression. She loved her father and she would always do her best to please him and help him when ever she could, but that was only towards her father.

Towards other people it was as if she was a completely different person. While she was obeying every word her father said to others she would always be a bit rebellious and always show a bit of her unyielding temperament. So now that she was away from her father her other part of personality came out and Jeane couldn't help but feel irritated.

She would be gifted to some guy that she never met only to get his favour? Who does that guy he is? She was the daughter of a soul heaven expert, a entity not many could every hope to match against! Even without taking her father into regard, she herself was also quite talented in terms of cultivation. Currently with her 17 years she already was soul sea stage and was sure to reach soul world stage in one or two years.

This talent…. in the whole sect there was likely no one that could measure up to her in this aspect.

But even though she was a rare genius and her father was a peak expert in this realm, she would be given to some guy to play with?How could Jeane not feel that she was played with?

Angered she took a wonderful silken dress that was lying on a chair and with one move she ripped it into small pieces.

"Ahhhhhhh, how can he…"

But even if she was behaving like this right now, she knew that if her father really had to gift her to this expert to save the sect she would follow his decision. Not that it really mattered, no matter if it was her father or this mysterious expert that both could easily force her to do so.

Slowly her rage calmed down a bit and Jeane sat down onto a chair. There was still irritation and anger in her beautiful features, but now it was calmer. Not giving the feeling of jumping at the others throat at any moment. Jeane pondered a bit.

"I have to seduce him right? Hm, not sure if it will work, but I can also try."

As Jeane calmed down a dangerous though appeared inside of her mind. A evil smile appeared at her delicate mouth and strangely even it was extremely alarming it also had an incredible charm.

Now that Jeane seemed to have found a way for herself she quickly took herself together and started to really prepare for the exhaled visitor. She quickly searched in his shelf and found a short green dress and a stylish white top. After this she went into the bath and took of her clothes.

A beautiful body emerged under the layers of clothes. Pure white skin shimmered as she let herself slide into a pool of water in the middle of the bath. The warm water quickly made Jeane relax and the tension in her muscles lessened. Despite her strong outer appearance she was still quite shaken by the news her father presented her and it was putting her under strong pressure. After all this wasn't her life that was decided by this meeting. It would also deciede the fate of all the disciples and families living in the sect. This expert, if he was really as powerful as her father said, was completely cable of ruling over their live and death.

Faced with facts like this, how could Jeane not feel pressured?

Enjoying the warm feeling, Jeane sighted and let herself slide even further into the water until there was only her nostrils staying over water. He breathing slowed down and all the thoughts inside her head cleared up.

After an unknown amount of time passed she finally stood up out of the water. Water ran down her white skin and two peaks wobbled a bit until they stood still. With quick steps Jeane went to the mirror and quickly applied a bit of makeup on her face. After this she calmly went to the chair with the clothes she picked out earlier and wore them.

"Ok, lets do this."

She encouraged herself. Then she exited the room and headed towards the garden.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Zes was following the elder that was guiding him through the Patriarchs mansion. In contrast to Zes small house this one was composed out of multiple buildings and was surrounded by a big garden filled with exotic flowers. Of course this flowers could really compare to Zes cultivation treasures he grew in the garden, but in therms of rarity they where even more rare.

Left to the small path the elder had guided Zes on was a small pond with fishes inside of them. Tall grasses surrounded the pond and every time a fish swam near to the path Zes could observe the beautiful white and red scales on them. But what zes found interesting in this fishes was not their appearance. It was their origin. Every single of this fishes was giving of a demonic aura meaning they were all demons!

A small smile grew across Zes face.

"Interesting …"

The elder that noticed that Zes seemed to be interested in the pond immediately explained.

"This pond has been personally made by the patriarch, I do not know what fishes are swimming in it, but as for the grasses surrounding them, they are all very rare and seldom found in this realm."

Zes politely nodded and as the elder saw that he did not seem to be interested any further into the pond he quickly continued his steps.

Along the way Zes noticed multiple rare plants he had searched for to plant in his garden and even some animals whom he though to be extinct. Smiling he said to the elder.

"It's seems that the patriarch has the hobby of collecting rare plants and animals. Am I right?

"You have observed correctly, the patriarch is always searching for rare plants and animal to ad to this garden. Until now he has amassed about 1600 rare plants and a few hundred even more rare animals. He likes to observe the nature, so he had built this garden to have the possibility to do so without neglecting his duties as patriarch."

"Oh, I understand."

Seeing that Zes did not want to continue the elder dropped the theme and walked down the path. But in his heart he could help but feel that there was something amis with this young disciple. His questions were to irregular to be considered as mere interests and something in the way he asked woke distrust in the elder. But he had his orders and unless he was sure that Zes had malicious thoughts he couldn't act careless.

Zes knew that the elder had noticed that something was strange, but he did not bothered about it. Rather he was laughing inside of him.

Nature, hm? I see what a interesting guy.

Along the way Zes had noticed many things and out of them he managed to get a general understanding of the patriarch. After all there it is known that the environment of a person can tell a lot about him. This also applied to the patriarch and the things Zes had deduced were more then satisfying to him.

Following the elder they finally reached a small hill in the garden. Atop of this hill a beautiful old cheery was blooming in white. Countless petals were lying beneath it and it's beauty was to much to describe with words. Underneath the breathtaking tree was a small table with two chairs. On the table was a small tea pod together with two small cups.

Other then this there were also two people up there. One young man clad in a azure robe and a young woman in a green dress and a pure white top. Naturally the man was the patriarch, while the young woman next to him was his daughter Jeane. They both stood as they waited for Zes to come up the hill.

The elder guiding Zes quickly left as he saw this scene. There were somethings on earth one should not mingle in and he saw that this was one of them.

Zes just continued his way alone going up to the top of the hill. As he finally reached the table he made a light bow.

"I greet you patriarch."

The patriarch could only smile wryly.

"I would rather stop this act, if it is ok with you."

Zes raised his eyebrow. He was aware that patriarch knew his real identity and he did not mind it as long as he did not interfere with his leisure and quite live. The only reason why he put on his usual act was because of the woman next to him and the convince in it.

"Ok, ok. No problem with me. So what do you old man need?"

"So informal? If you speak like this you give me no chance of being formal to you."

"NOT. MY. PROBLEM. It's not like you have to do so either way. So just tell me what do you want?"

Jeane was surprised looking at the two young looking man that were chatting like some teenies. She had expected some old ugly and pervy guy. But now she had a young man, a disciple of the sect standing before her.

"Ähm…?"

"Ah, yes. She is the reason I wanted you to come here today. May I introduce my daughter Jeane. Jeane, this is Zes Bloed, the most powerful person in this realm."
