"Ah, Qin Xiaoya, this Mr. Jiang is indeed quite remarkable, but our Qin family also holds a respectable position. We can befriend Mr. Jiang and even treat him as an esteemed guest, but for you to act as his maid is going too far. Have you not considered that he might use you to control our Qin family?" Qin Baonan said with evident concern.
"Grandfather, you're overthinking it. Our Qin family is not something he would take lightly," Qin Xiaoya replied with a smile.
"Hmm?" Qin Baonan frowned.
"Grandfather, you cannot imagine the depth of his background. Soon enough, you will understand how fortunate I am to be Mr. Jiang's maid," Qin Xiaoya said, feigning profundity.
"Is he really some kind of immortal?" Qin Baonan remarked, somewhat skeptical of his granddaughter's words.
As the leader of a prominent family in the capital, Qin Baonan had seen much more than others. He understood that this world was filled with hidden talents and that powerful individuals could harness Inner Energy to kill from a distance. However, no matter how formidable martial arts might be, they were still bound by the limitations of the human body. This era was not like a century ago when cold weapons ruled; now technology was advanced, and Super Weapons were emerging constantly. Even a martial artist at their peak could not compete with Super Weapons.
Qin Baonan respected Martial Artists and hoped for collaboration but would never submit to anyone. The idea of his granddaughter taking pride in being Jiang Chen's maid left him feeling uneasy.
"Grandfather, you can regard him as an immortal," Qin Xiaoya said earnestly.
"Qin Xiaoya, I see you are infatuated with him. It's one thing to be polite in front of him, but why speak such nonsense behind his back? What era are we in? Humanity has even landed on the moon; how could there be any immortals? You have received a good education; why speak so absurdly?"
"He is just a Martial Arts Expert, stronger than most, but certainly not an immortal," Qin Baonan stated firmly.
He believed he was still clear-headed and thought that flattering Jiang Chen in front of him was a necessary evil; however, there was no need for talk of immortals behind his back.
"Grandfather, you don't understand," Qin Xiaoya replied.
"I don't understand? Then tell me, what kind of immortal is this Mr. Jiang?" Qin Baonan asked with amusement.
"Grandfather, please don’t press me; I cannot speak freely about Mr. Jiang’s matters," Qin Xiaoya said helplessly, feeling hurt by her family's lack of understanding.
"Qin Xiaoya, your grandfather is only looking out for your best interests. Your mother also thinks it's inappropriate for you to be Mr. Jiang's maid. If you were his girlfriend, your mother could accept that; but as a maid, she simply cannot." Lin Cai'e, Qin Xiaoya's mother added.
"Mom, I am content being a maid. As for being Mr. Jiang's girlfriend, that's something I wouldn't even dare to think about," Qin Xiaoya sighed. Though she had feelings for him, she knew she was unworthy of someone like Jiang Chen. Such a person surely deserved someone truly extraordinary; no matter how beautiful or graceful an ordinary woman might be, it would never suffice.
"Qin Xiaoya, ever since you met this Mr. Jiang, you've changed in ways I don't recognize. Are you still my spirited daughter who was as cold as ice? You used to be confident in front of any man; why do you suddenly belittle yourself before this Mr. Jiang? To be honest, aside from his remarkable abilities, I find his looks rather average," Lin Cai'e remarked.
"Mom, there probably isn't a man in this world who looks better than Mr. Jiang," Qin Xiaoya smiled as her eyes sparkled with conviction. Although Jiang Chen appeared quite ordinary at first glance, she firmly believed that his current appearance was not truly representative of who he was.
