Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Space Upgraded Again (1)_1

After completing these tasks, Situ Xin turned around and walked inside. "Master, what about those two girls?" Liu Yuxiang looked at Situ Xin turning to leave and was somewhat at a loss. Was that it for this matter? "Those two girls?" Situ Xin had acted on impulse when she spoke out to save the girls, and hadn’t thought about what to do with them afterwards. She turned to glance at the two girls who had been brought over by Dragon Society’s minions. After a moment of thought, she said, "You two can leave."

Originally, Situ Xin had simply seen an injustice and decided to intervene. She had no intention of achieving any purpose from the two girls.

The two sisters who were rescued could never have imagined that they would be saved by this girl who was much younger than they were. As Situ Xin turned to leave, the slightly older sister fell to her knees with a "plop." "Miss, please take us in," she said, casting a few glances at their so-called father.

The younger sister, seeing her own sister kneel down, also knelt beside her. "Take you in? Why? Isn’t it better to leave?" Situ Xin halted her departing steps, turned around, and walked over to the two kneeling girls.

"Miss, we know you have a good heart. Since you’ve saved us, please take us sisters in. If we go back now, we’ll just be sold off by our so-called father again. You don’t know, he’s thought about it more than once, and if it weren’t for the two of us being able to earn some money, he would have sold us long ago." The older sister said, with tears finally spilling from her eyes. Those were tears of disappointment in her father; she couldn’t understand how their father could be so heartless—they were his daughters, after all.

"Please take us in, miss. We will try our best to repay the kindness you’ve shown by saving our lives," the younger sister added tearfully.

As Situ Xin listened to their words and glanced at their father, who was standing in a corner, she saw the flicker in his eyes and an idea formed in her mind. Since she’d spoken up to save them, she couldn’t let them fall back into their former suffering. Situ Xin didn’t want her efforts to be in vain.

Even though Situ Xin had already decided to take in the two girls, she still said, "How do you know it’s better to follow me? Aren’t you afraid that, having just escaped a wolf’s den, you might be entering a tiger’s lair?"

"I know, miss is a good person," the younger of the two sisters said solemnly as she spoke.

Upon hearing the girl’s words, Situ Xin found it amusing—someone was actually calling her a good person. She was not one to be a good person in either her past life or her current one. "Enough, enough. From now on, follow me," Situ Xin said, her face breaking into a smile beneath the brim of her hat. "Get up. Remember, once you become my subordinates, you can’t kneel so easily anymore. Men’s knees bear gold; and our women’s knees should at least bear platinum. So from now on, kneel only to heaven, earth, and your parents, and no one else. Of course, now you no longer have parents either." Situ Xin said this while glancing again at their father, who was tremblingthere.

When Situ Xin had stepped forward to rescue the two girls, that middle-aged man now regretted his folly of attempting to sell his daughters for money. Now he was sure that he wouldn’t be getting off lightly.

"Yes, miss," the two girls replied, faces full of gratitude as they stood up.

"Come with me," Situ Xin instructed after making a gesture to Xia Yujie to handle their father. Then she strode into the gambling den.

The two girls Situ Xin had saved were named Sun Xue and Sun Lu. The two girls she had impulsively rescued turned out to have the makings of martial artists upon examination.

Situ Xin, without any hesitation, had Xia Yujie take them to the training base for her personal instruction. During her training of the sisters, she found that Sun Xue was decisive and had strong ideas—material for a powerful woman—while Sun Lu was careful and strategic, fitting to be an advisor.

Upon recognizing the sisters’ characters, Situ Xin asked Xia Yujie to find two management teachers to start teaching them.

"Miss, I have to admire your insight. The teacher came to report on their progress today. He couldn’t stop praising Sun Xue and Sun Lu, saying they were smart and great material. It won’t be long before they graduate," Xia Yujie reported the situation to Situ Xin in detail.

"Oh? Is that so?" Situ Xin listened without a change in expression because all this was within her expectations. She had only asked to confirm.

"Master, what are your plans lately?" Liu Yuxiang looked at Situ Xin expectantly, urging her to share. "Come on, tell me. You know, I’ve been bored to death lately."

"Xiang, you’re bored? Is it because I haven’t assigned you enough tasks lately?" Before Situ Xin could reply, Xia Yujie spoke up with interest, looking at Liu Yuxiang: "Right, don’t forget to take that stack of documents from my desk later. Then report back to me tomorrow."

"Big Brother, that’s not fair. Can’t you see I’m wrong? I’m really busy and not bored at all," Liu Yuxiang quickly pleaded with Xia Yujie upon hearing his words, no longer caring about his own curiosity. He had seen the pile of files on Xia Yujie’s desk, which would take forever to go through. He didn’t want to end up like his brother, working tirelessly as if his life depended on it.

"Yujie, work is important, but your health is more important. Also, for some tasks, you don’t need to do everything yourself; you should delegate certain responsibilities to your subordinates. Keep in mind that Dragon Society is going to grow stronger, and that means there will be more and more issues to deal with in the future. If you continue to tend to everything personally, will you even have a life left?" Situ Xin knew well the extent of Xia Yujie’s work, but she also understood his caution after the incident involving his father, as well as the subsequent theft of all the funds under Dragon Society’s control. He feared history might repeat itself.
