Chapter 44: He's a Troublemaker
When Li Ming appeared inside the mansion with the silver hair guy, the pixies and Snowy were already standing in the front garden, waiting for her.
"You are back! But why you bring him here?" Snowy asked as he looked suspiciously at the man.
Li Ming ignored him and looked at the fairies who were looking very excited.
"What you guys want to tell me?"
The man noticed the little things with the wings and the strange language of their conversation but decided to keep quiet at the moment.
"Ming, we have finished our work. Will you please come with us to take a look?" Clank asked excitedly.
Li Ming nodded her head with a smile and followed the pixies to her back garden.
The view that greeted her was like something out of a fairy tale.
She couldn't believe that this place was her normal and boring back yard just two days ago.
"Wow guys, it looks so beautiful." Li Ming finally said. She was really impressed.
"Thank You so much Ming!" All the fairies said happily.
"Ming, who's your friend?" Alvina asked her as she pointed towards the man who was looking at the pixies house with puzzled expression.
Li Ming went towards the man and asked, "Will you tell me your name, so I can introduce you?"
The man smiled and looked at the girl, "What about calling me my lord? But you can also call me Lord Ruoshan if you want."
Li Ming had a strong desire to punch the idiot right on his face and remove that smirk. But somehow she controlled herself.
She turned back to look at the pixies and said in English, "He's going to stay here for some time but he's a troublemaker, remember to avoid him as much as you can."
The pixies nodded their heads in understanding.
Li Ming gave a last look to Ruoshan and left the back yard.
That evening Li Ming prepared dinner for everyone, including the new headache whom she had invited, and everyone enjoyed their time while eating the delicious dinner.
After dinner everyone went to sleep. Li Ming took Ruoshan to a spare bedroom beside her own. She made sure to take away all the important items out of the room. By the end she finished, there was only a bed, a table and a closet remained in the room.
"Remember to not set your foot out of this room before morning." Li Ming said and left the room.
**********************************
Next morning, Li Ming didn't go out to search for the herbs. She knew that there were people in the area of last peak of Thundering Ranges.
"Who were those people yesterday?" Li Ming asked Ruoshan who was reading a potion book.
He closed the book and put it on the table, "What kind of elixirs are these?"
Li Ming shook her head as she said, "I already told you that you won't understand it. So, answer my question."
Ruoshan sighed as he relaxed on the sofa. He liked the comfy seats and beds in this place, they were way more comfortable.
"They were the disciples from Guixian land." Ruoshan finally answered.
"Guixian Land?" Li Ming asked confusingly. She had never heard of it before and moreover it's only been less than five months since she had transmigrated.
Ruoshan looked at the confused expression on her face and said mockingly, "Looked like you are not properly educated about the mainland. The five empires are surrounded by large water bodies. In the middle of that vast ocean is the forbidden land of Guixian. It was currently occupied by the five sects - Medical Sect, Sword Art Sect, Spirit Beast Sect, Array formation Sect and Armament Sect. All of these sects are under the Supreme Immortal. Only the disciples and masters are allowed to set foot in the Guixian Land other than a special few. The disciples from yesterday were from the Medical Sect."
Li Ming took all the information and got lost in her thoughts. After a few minutes, she finally looked at Ruoshan as she thought, 'This man can be useful for her in the form of a living and walking encyclopedia of this world.'
Just these thoughts brought a large evil smile on her face but of course Ruoshan had no idea what she was thinking.
"Do you want to go to take a look at what they are doing here?" Li Ming asked him after thinking about something.
"No, I will rather stay here with you." Ruoshan smiled with that evil glint in his eyes.
"Fine. Then we are returning back to the Capital City. I'm not interested in getting involved in a situation from where I can't get myself out."
After having their lunch, Li Ming dragged Ruoshan into the spell room. She had thought for a very long time and she finally came to the conclusion that she didn't trust this man enough to leave him alone in the mansion while she would be busy working in the outside world.
So, after roaming around her entire one floor library, she finally found something which would help her with the problem.
"Why do you bring me here? I thought that I will never see this room again in my lifetime." The smirk on his face was enough to rile up Li Ming but she somehow controlled herself. AGAIN!!
"After thinking about this matter, I finally realized that I'm unable to let you stay in my house all alone in my absence. So, you will come with me in the outer world whenever I will leave the mansion." Li Ming said as she brought out a very thick and old book from a corner table.
"But you know..."
"That you are not safe from your enemies in the outer world. I know." Li Ming said as she cut him off.
"There is an ancient spell.....well at least it was ancient before I...Never mind,....that can help to hide your location even when you are out of the mansion, as long as you stay in 100 meters radar of me." Li Ming told him excitedly.
"And you are sure that it will work?" Ruoshan asked as he raised one of those dark eyebrows at her in question.
Li Ming looked at him and for some reason decided to tell him the truth.
"Well.....umm...This....It is one of the most powerful spells and my current level of powers is not enough to perform it on my own. So, if I'm not wrong then you are perfect to help me but since this will...be...my first time doing this spell, so there...are a little bit chances of it backfiring." She finally finished and looked away from the cold gaze of Ruoshan.
"How much is that little bit?" He asked in a deep voice.
"Just this much." Li Ming quickly held her thumb and index finger at barely a single centimeter apart.
But Ruoshan was not an idiot to believe her. "And what are the consequences?"
Li Ming looked at him and after a few seconds finally shrugged her shoulders. "How am I supposed to know, it's my first...aah!"
Before she could complete her sentence, she was held captive in a very tight embrace and a very cold pair of eyes were looking at her.
