Arrogant Young Master Template A Variation 4 4 Not A Dream, Sorry

There was only one thing in the mind of Han De right now.

'FAST! TOO FAST OH G.o.d NO OH G.o.d'

It took him about an hour to reach the ceremony venue from his abode by walking, but now with the power of flight, it took less than 10 seconds to get back. If previous Han De wasn't proficient at sword flight, the girl, Ning Bi, would have already turned into a meat paste from sudden acceleration into Mach 2 speed. Thankfully, she was completely safe!

After his first flight, not even minding the unconscious Ning Bi, Han De hugged the ground. After about a minute, he deeply regretted not trying out flying before. He made a mental note to try out all of his powers and abilities as soon as possible.

'Still, at least I have completed the quest, now I have a disciple, she is still 13 and naive, I'm sure I haven't met her before, so I can easily scam her into accepting me as her master. If I can solve some of her tragic MC background issues, even if I don't gain a support pillar, at least I can guarantee her not developing a grudge on me.'

'Right, I should probably at least handle her with some care and let her rest, she needs clothes and food at minimum, I remember previous Han De had some servants…'

Being a cultivator, previous Han De contacted his servants through spiritual sense. He was a cultivation maniac and a genius! Anything that caused a distraction for him would get punished or destroyed without exception. So servants lived in their own building not daring to make a peep. Thinking it was the right time, current Han De started searching through his memories for spiritual sense etiquette. If he just went to the servant building it would be too out of the norm for normal Han De.

's.h.i.+et, this guy was just insufferable, he didn't have any etiquette at all, he just used his spiritual sense as he pleased without any limits! Consequences?! What are those? My father is the sect master…'

Thankfully Han De's memories still held some information about other people's behavior, so he was able to get a rough idea of what is and what isn't acceptable. Surprisingly it was pretty similar to how people behaved during phone conversations. The way you would talk in a phone would change depending on the status of the person you were talking to. You would talk to your boss differently than you would to your childhood friend. You might call out your spouse many times out of concern if they were not answering, but calling your boss 20 times in half an hour would get you a good scolding.

Spiritual sense worked similarly. An extra addition was, of course, no peeping! Spiritual sense, as it gets stronger could be used for looking and inspecting entire areas. Although dense spiritual power and the presence of many powerful spiritual senses limited the range of one's spiritual sense in the sect, it was still possible to use it in unsavory ways. If caught it would result in severe punishments.

Saving grace of previous Han De was, everyone knew he wouldn't bother at peeping at others. He was a cultivation genius! Why would he waste his time with such ungentlemanly activities? He could easily just choose any female disciple from the sect as he pleased...

Han De quickly instructed his servants to bring clothes, and other necessary living supplies for Ning Bi to his abode, including Qi Condensation cultivation resources and few sets of weapons of each type. Thinking Ning Bi was a genius, Han De didn't want to guide her. He just wanted to let her do as she pleased! Let her select her weapon! 'I haven't even used a sword yet, how could I find what weapon she might find suitable? She is an MC, her bulls.h.i.+t powerup potential will manifest by itself!' Han De was just there along for the ride!

Hearing Han De's instructions, servants were puzzled.

Not expecting a response, Han De was puzzled back.

"..."

"..."

They have been working as a servant for Han De for the last 5 years, and they never had a conversation with him like this. All the servants in the servant quarters started sweating profusely. They looked at each other, but no one was able to find any comfort.

"H-he did ask to bring her things to his abode right? Not the servants quarters, not to one of the side buildings… right?"

"Senior brother, what did elder mean by saying 'keep up the good work'"

All servants flinched as they heard that phrase. Hearing such a thing from any other elder would make their day, but as servants of Han De, they knew better than anyone how he dealt with things. He wouldn't hesitate to kill a guy for blocking his way, he wouldn't hesitate to cripple someone and let them rot if they didn't give him enough respect. Although so far no servant had suffered such a calamity, that was just so far, everyone was adamant about not becoming the first example.

* * *

In less than half an hour everything was a.s.sembled. Ning Bi was a.s.signed to a random room far away from his. If she wanted another one she could move it herself, she was a disciple. Han De didn't care in the least, the house was just too huge. On earth an old-timey mansion would have 10 or so bedrooms, this guy's 'house' actually had more than 50.

'Why would anyone need this many rooms?! This goes past a mansion or even a castle at this point. There are even side houses and servant houses too. This guy cultivated all day, did he have huge harem ambitions or something? Hmm let me see his memories…'

'Zip. Nada. $#&% just go be a hermit in a cave if you wanted to cultivate this much.'

'Let's at least complete the quest and find out what profound points could be used for. Status!'

-

'Sect should already consider her as my disciple, she also meets the requirements, so the only remaining explanation is that she doesn't consider me her master yet. Will the quest stay open if she just pays lip service and doesn't consider me her true master?...'

A long sigh escaped from Han De's lips.

'Last time I tried to bulls.h.i.+t them on the fly, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. I ended up quoting some old video game because my mind was drawing blanks on Xianxia quotes… I need to practice some lines and prepare them in advance! If I hadn't remembered that I could fly away I definitely would've been busted, ugh...'

Remembering the 0 to Mach 2 flight of his, Han De's legs went soft. He needed to find a safe and out of sight place to practice flying… slowly… he needed to practice as slowly as possible.

'Right, there should be some empty mountains or valleys around here, this is a bona fide sect, there has to be like dozens of empty mountains! But first, the gift box.'

This wasn't a moment that Han De was looking forward to. So far his luck was really bad in this world. He was afraid System might actually 'gift' him a bill for the goods and services that it provided so far. Making a decision, Han De kowtowed.

"Oh Almighty System, your humble servant humbly begs for you to open the gift box"

Taking a deep breath Han De stood up and started to think about his options while pacing around his ridiculously large bedroom. He didn't know the size of an Olympic pool, but he was certain his bedroom could fit a few of them easily.

Reading the detailed explanation, Han De just threw himself onto the bed and stubbornly closed his eyes, hoping he would wake up back on Earth and this was all just a bad dream.

* * *

Han De woke up the next day at noon. He didn't know how many hours he slept, but he knew he woke up at noon because of the System clock. He didn't want to think about cultivation methods, or life-threatening dangers, or calamities, none of that stuff. Right now, he just wanted to have some breakfast, so he headed for the nearest of the 6 kitchens.

'Huh, nice, a refrigerator in the form of a spiritual device. I was worried they would use storage bags to store all the food.'

While searching for the kitchen, Han De looked at memories related to kitchens and cooking. At first, he was surprised there were 0 memories of these concepts, but then he figured out the reason.

'This guy never went inside a kitchen in his life. He didn't even cook while he was camping or something. Who the h.e.l.l brings a chef into a spiritual beast hunt? This guy, that's who'

Snickering at the incompetence of the cultivation idiot, he opened up the fridge to look at the ingredients. The fridge itself was the size of a room. At that point, he realized this wasn't a spiritual device, but a room with a formation instead. Formation trapped the spiritual power of the different ingredients and prevented them from mixing with each other. Hundreds of different ingredients and their explanation popped up on his sight.

'I just wanted to make some pancakes, what's with the ridiculous Xianxia ingredients? Are there no normal ingredients? What's this?'

-

[Soy Sauce]

Ordinary Soy Sauce. Produced by fermentation method.

-

'Not Spirit Soy Sauce? Are you saying soy sauce is good by itself and doesn't need improvements?'

Out of frustration Han De started pinching his glabella.

'What do Chinese people eat for breakfast anyway? In j.a.panese animes, they always went crazy for miso soup. What's a miso? Is there a spirit miso? I can't make any baked food with rice. Wait, could there be gluten in spirit rice? Maybe that earth element energy can act sort of like gluten?'

He was an average white guy, so his breakfast was either a bowl of cereal or a baked product like a bagel, or perhaps PB&J. If he went extravagant, he would get himself some pancakes. He stopped eating bacon and eggs years ago to reduce his cholesterol intake.

'Core Formation cultivator can't get high cholesterol right? Maybe that's what the cleansing pills do? Maybe they just remove the cholesterol along with all the other junk. Shame there is no spirit pig bacon or spirit chicken eggs in this fridge/pantry. I'm not going to touch those Virtuous White Spider eggs, no way.'

Although he ordered his servants to stash the kitchens full of food, he only realized now how deep the cultural gap was.

'This must be what dense j.a.panese MCs feel in those isekai novels. Now I get why they look for rice and soy sauce everywhere they go…'

Frustrated, he searched his memories for what previous Han De ate regularly.

'F&$#!! This cultivation moron only ate pills! How could you not eat anything for years? Why is there 6 F&$#!&% kitchens in this house then?!?'

As he was lamenting previous Yan De's life choices, his spiritual sense picked up a movement from Ning Bi's door. His (soon to be) disciple finally had woken up!
