Chapter 1146


    As Chongrak was leaving, Sasha looked at Fade in doubt. Something was bothering her but she


    chose to bottle it up as Fade seemed to have no intention of exining further.


    Fade also noticed how puzzled Sasha was. However, it wasn''t something he could exin to her. It


    wouldn''t do her any good.


    In fact, Fade let Chongrak off easy and gave him a set of martial art skills because Fade felt a


    sense of familiarity when observing the style of martial arts that Chongrak and Tiago practiced.


    He sensed the same thing from the two of them with the one in his encounter with the Skull Mob.


    Fade''s most recent battle with a member of the Skull Mob was in Hamlin City. When Shinnie


    returned to Bay City, she was poisoned by the Snow Lotus Seed while Quin was poisoned by the


    Ice Lotus Seed. Fade assumed that it was rted to the Skull Mob. However, he had no direct


    evidence to prove his theory.


    Therefore, when Fade noticed Chongrak''s energy was simr to the member of the Skull Mob, he


    was concerned.


    Fade arranged for Chongrak to return to Tortnd and improved his skills so he could prepare to


    face the Skull Mob in the future.


    However, he could only know how effective his n was when the time came. After all, Fade didn''t


    put in much thought before he gave Chongrakthe notes.


    When Chongrak left, Fade told Sasha while beckoning her, "It''s settled, you don''t have to worry


    anymore. Please send someone to clean this storage room."


    Sasha nodded. Soon, the servants came to clean the storage room.


    Fade was about to leave the Li family as there were no more matters for him to attend to.


    Right then, Sasha held the Double Daggers, went to Fade, and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you want


    to do with these daggers?"


    Fade looked at the daggers and pondered for a while.


    The quality of these two daggers was at the Earth Level. Keeping them as antiques would be a


    waste. However, they were not useful to him either.


    Fade was reminded of Lucas. He decided to give them to Lucas since he just advanced to the Earth


    Level. On top of that, he was new to the position of Martial Soul of Jade City. It would be good as


    these daggers would help him to strengthen his power.


    Hence, Fade took the daggers and said, "I''ll have them since I have a use for them."


    "Of course, one of the daggers belonged to your grandfather. I won''t just take them from you. Tell


    me what you want in return," Fade asked.


    Speaking of which, Sasha''s eyes flickered. She waved her hands again and again while saying, "I


    don''t want anything. If it weren''t for you, I would not be alive. Besides, my family and I are now your


    men, and if you would like to have the daggers, we..."


    Fade raised his hand and said, "You can drop all the formalities with me. You are not a ve, and I


    don''t want to engage in the bullsh*t of these talks of the aristocracy. You just need to mind your


    business, and if you don''t cross the line, I wouldn''t be bothered about you."


    "So, let me take your daggers and pay you the equivalent price," Fade insisted.


    When Sasha heard this, she was touched and a little excited.


    After all, it was a wonderful thing for someone of such caliber in Jade City like Fade to make such a


    promise to her. She was certain that everyone in the entire Jade City would be envious of her.


    Sasha had countless thoughts on her mind at the moment. What should she request?


    Should she ask to be in charge of the Li family? Or, should she request longevity drugs? Or better


    still, should she make Fade give his words to protect the Li family?


    But Sasha quickly shook off all these ideas as they shed through her mind.


    Regardless of whether Fade would agree to these requests, it would ruin Fade''s impression of her.


    In the end, these requests of hers would onlye back and backfire on her.


    Quickly discounting these thoughts, Sasha was tongue-tied for a while.


    Upon seeing this, Fade swung his hand and said, "If you can''t decide what you want right now, you


    can look for me whenever you have an idea."


    With that, Fade was about to leave the Li family.


    Upon seeing this, Sasha''s heart missed several beats at once. All of a sudden, she didn''t want


    Fade to leave.


    Thinking of this, she said immediately, "Mr. Chen, I know what I want."


    Fade stood still, looking at Sasha. "Alright, tell me what your request is. I''ll help you as long as it is


    reasonable."


    Sasha patted her clothes with both her hands before she bowed her head slightly, looking a little


    nervous. She took a deep breath before raising her head. "Mr. Chen, my request is a simple one. I


    hope you can spend the night resting in the vi and leave tomorrow!"


    "Uh, this..." This request was not within Fade''s expectations. He nced at Sasha and asked, "Are


    you serious about this request? I..."


    Sasha nodded firmly and interjected, "Thanks to you, my family and I are still alive. I dare not and


    cannot request anything more from you, Mr. Chen."


    After a pause, she continued, "It''s gettingte now, Mr. Chen, you have gotten your hands full until


    now because of my family. I hope that you rest well tonight."


    Fade didn''t doubt her sincerity, for he realized how genuine Sasha was. He looked at the time


    again, and it was already midnight.


    He nodded and responded, "If this is the case, then I will spend the night here and leave first thing


    tomorrow!"


    "After you, Mr. Chen!" Sasha led Fade into the room enthusiastically.


    As a result, Fade stayed for a night in the Li family''s vi and left the next morning.


    After Sasha sent Fade away respectfully, the rest of the Li family couldn''t help but gather.


    One of them asked, "Sasha, you have lost a golden opportunity! Why didn''t you make a proper


    request from Mr. Chen? Instead of something so trivial!"


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "Yeah, it was indeed a good opportunity, and we could have gotten much more. But all you did was


    ask him to stay..." another remarked.


    "Sasha, I don''t understand. What on earth are you thinking?"


    Sasha looked at the person who questioned her, pursed her lips, and snorted. "You are too


    shortsighted. If we request anything materialistic, no matter what benefits it can bring to us, it will


    She paused for a while and added, "But the request I made is different."


    "What''s the difference? Your request does not bring us any benefit. It is better to have something


    more practical!" someone said, dissatisfied.


    Sasha stared at the other person and replied in a low tone, "Think about it. If news about Master


    Chen sleeping over at our family got out, what do you think will happen?"


    Immediately, a realization dawned on everyone in the Li family. Their expressions changed at once.


    "Master Chen slept over at our vi. How would people connect the dots..." One of them rose to his


    feet and paced around the room.


    "Try adding the narrative of Master Chen saving Sasha. If people put the two and two together...


    surely their imaginations would go wild!"


    He pped his hand and eximed, "If such news went out, the rtionship between Sasha and


    Master Chen will be..."


    In an instance, there was an uproar in the Li family.
