Chapter 955: Chapter 544: Blood Godson_2

“Since Miss is now safe, we should return promptly,” he said. “We have other matters to attend to and must take our leave first.”

Having said that, he clasped his hands together, eyes straight ahead, devoid of any reluctance to leave, and turned to depart.

However, the gentle yet somewhat urgent voice of Jaya Vance quickly followed behind him.

“Please wait a moment, young master.”

Reluctant as he was, he still halted his steps upon hearing her.

“Does Miss have other matters?”

This time, his tone was much colder, clearly intending to put some distance between them.

Unfortunately, the intentions of Miss Jaya Vance before him did not align with his.

“Young master, you seem new to this place, perhaps unfamiliar with the surroundings. I grew up here and know the area very well,” she proposed sweetly. “Allow me, then, to be your guide. You might enjoy the local customs and favors, and I may be able to offer some assistance should you need it.”

Once she finished speaking, Jaya lowered her head shyly, her girlish thoughts seemingly at the brink of overflowing.

Logan shivered.

Her desire to help him was one thing, but he suspected there was an underlying intention to get close to him.

The coy demeanor of the woman before him was something Logan politely declined to entertain.

He had no intention of attracting matrimonial ties, nor did he wish to involve an innocent woman.

“There’s no need. We have no particular destination in mind, just strolling around. Miss Jaya, please feel free to carry on with your business, there’s no need to accompany us.”

After speaking, he exchanged a glance with Little White and his Master.

The two of them nodded in unison, perfectly in sync.

The trio quickly departed, seemingly eager to avoid further entanglement with Jaya.

Jaya’s beautiful eyes followed the retreating figure of Logan, a glint of dissatisfaction flashing through them.

Logan had assumed that after shaking off Jaya, there would be no more troubles.

Yet, no sooner had they chosen to lodge at a local inn.

And as soon as they sat down, Jaya appeared in the inn, though when she arrived was a mystery.

She never approached or drew close to them.

But she chose a spot neither too far nor too close and simply sat there, glancing over at Logan occasionally with eyes that seemed to hook his attention, laced with a seductive intent.

“What a coincidence to meet you here again, young master,” she said.

Logan’s mouth twitched. He certainly didn’t think it was a coincidence.

Thus, he lifted his head to take a sip of tea, deliberately ignoring Jaya.

The neglected beauty felt a tinge of displeasure and even a bit wronged.

“Young master, have I offended you in any way, or is there something about me that displeases your eye that you refuse to even look at me directly? Am I so unsightly as to warrant such aversion?”

These words were quite presumptuous, considering her beauty was clear enough to provoke the advances of dissolute men in the streets, Jaya herself was well aware of her attractiveness.

But Logan, disliking trouble, plus having only helped out of convenience without expectation of repayment,

found repeated encounters with Jaya only heightened his wariness.

Yet with the young lady gazing at him with such beseeching eyes, Logan, not wishing to snub her in front of so many, felt compelled to offer polite platitudes.

“You misunderstand, Miss. I hold no disdain for you. It’s just that our meeting was by chance and I do not intend to seek further acquaintance. Therefore, there’s no need for further interaction; let things take their natural course.”

Jaya, however, stood up and gracefully approached Logan, step by step, until she was before him.

“But I don’t feel the same, young master. I believe that you saving me must be a connection forged from past lives, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that we are fated to meet again?” she implored. “Ever since you rescued me, young master, I’ve been deeply admiring you and have resolved to serve you, whether as a maid or otherwise. As long as I can care for and follow you, I am willing. Why won’t you give me a chance?”

With these words, she had reached Logan, her gaze now filled with eager expectation.

Logan frowned slightly, although it was hardly noticeable, and he quickly composed himself.

This… was it not a bit too abrupt?

“Miss, I had no intention of asking for repayment. What I did was a simple gesture of help, just what should be done. There’s no need for such courtesy, nor is there a reason to dwell on it,” he said.

His words were tactful, but the underlying message was quite clear.

He did not intend to accept the other party’s kind gesture, hoping they would retract it.

The others inhaled sharply upon hearing these words.

“Whoa! Just who is this person? Seems like he’s from abroad. He actually rejected Miss Jaya’s advances. She is none other than the incomparable beauty, Miss Jaya Vance, and yet this outsider man seems too arrogant for his own good.”

“Indeed, if Miss Jaya chose to favor me, I’d be over the moon, but I never expected she would willingly follow a man like this. Such amazing fortune, why would this man refuse?”

“Alas, some people don’t realize the blessings they have. Such a beauty is hard to come by.”

Upon seeing this, Nineteen, after taking a sip of wine, also leaned in and whispered a teasing remark.

“Apprentice, it looks like you’ve been marked. This Jaya seems quite fond of you.”

Logan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Nineteen’s eyes shifted, and he lowered his voice to offer another word of caution.

“However, Apprentice, let me remind you, this Jaya is no ordinary person; you’d best keep your distance.”

Initially, Logan didn’t take his master’s teasing to heart.

But hearing this, he couldn’t help but become genuinely intrigued.

“Oh?”

Knowing his master, a Demon Head who had lived for countless years and always possessed keen insight into people,

commoners would hardly ever catch his interest.

The fact that he used the words “no ordinary person” and even cautioned him to stay away

clearly indicated that this Jaya was not to be trifled with, and perhaps her fondness was not sincere but concealed a greater secret.

It was rare for Logan to hear such a serious warning from his master, and a flash of curiosity crossed his eyes.

“Master, is there something wrong with this Jaya?”

To this, Nineteen did not say much, only offering a smile but no words.

After another sip of wine and a few peanuts, he spoke lightly.

“The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed.”

“In any case, I’ve already warned you, the rest is up to you.”

He briefly adopted a serious air, only to revert to his usual nonchalance the next second.

Logan’s mouth twitched.

Forget it, his master was only occasionally serious.

How could he manage when his master was so typically laid back?

“Understood, Master. Thank you for the warning; I’ll keep it in mind.”

Truth be told, even if his master hadn’t warned him, Logan had no intention of engaging with Jaya.

They were on a journey for cultivation, not to flirt and sow wild oats along the way.

Moreover, he did not consider himself a philanderer, unable to resist throwing himself at any pretty girl he saw.

Furthermore, he had seen his fair share of beautiful women. Jaya was attractive, certainly, but not exceedingly so. If he really desired the company of women, could he not go to a brothel?

Thus, there was no need, no need at all to complicate matters unnecessarily.

For him, one less social tie meant one less source of trouble.

And with his master’s direct assertion, he knew even better how to act.

“Miss Jaya, I must ask that you stop your pursuit. You must see that I truly have no interest in you, and I have no need for a maid or for anyone to serve me. Please, it is best if you leave.”

When he spoke these words, his tone already carried a touch of firmness.

Seeing herself so openly rebuffed, Jaya seemed to have never been subjected to such a great humiliation—or outright rejection—before, and tears promptly welled up in her eyes.

“You, young master, what have I done wrong? Do you despise me that much?”
