Xue Hui is a very weird boy, many of divine family know him for two things, being a deligent attendant for the little princess of the family, and a creepy emotionless kid.
Few months ago, Chen Zhenlong the Family head of divine family brought with him a little boy from the orphanage, and turned him to be Chen Linlin personal attendant.
At first everyone thought that due to the condition of his only daughter weighting on him, Chen Zhenlong mental state has deteriorated so bad that he finally loses his mind.
Though no one sane willing to openly said it, they definitely thought about it.
The reason of this is the boy he brought home from the orphanage to be his only daughter attendant.
The reason is the boy can be described for lack of a better term, Dead inside.
1....
Xue Hui is 7 years old boy with lilac colored hair with average height for his aged with soft looking feature that he can be mistaken as a girl, everyone wouldl agree to call him good looking.
Though despite his good look, everyone is wary of him, and some if find him creepy.
Because Xue Hui despite being capable kid, he is soulless, not emotionless, soulless.
Because not only was the boy devoid of emotion, he also seemed to have no trace of life in his eyes.
Many people in divine family who would catches his stare will immediately felt uneasy.
The blankness of Xue Hui eyes is just felt so unnatural for some who should be still alive, and right now this same eyes is boring to the eyes of two gold rank expert who's guarding the door of Chen Zhenlong office.
The two gold rank demon spirualist expert, the two guard couldn't help but to shift uncomfortably to their position, while staring at the little boy Infront of them.
The boy had been staring at them for quite sometimes now and hasn't said anything.
Urge by his companion, one of the guard finally asked the boy what's his business here in the office of patriarch.
"I wish to talk with lord patriarch"
Both guard look at each other upon hearing Xue Hui words, the both of them look troubled since the patriarch is in the middle of important meeting and they cannot just to barge in and disturb them.
"Ah little hui, is this emergency?, is the young miss okay?" One of the guard asked, afterall even with his weird state, Xue Hui is a very capable attendant, and if this is about Chen Linlin and its emergency, they will immediately take an action and call for patriarch.
"No, Linlin is sleeping"

Both of the guard sigh in relief, at least its not an emergency.
"Umm, little hui, the patriarch is in the middle of important meeting, you'll have to wait for them to finish before you'll able to talk to lord patriarch" one of the guard said politely.
Although everyone in divine family found Xue Hui really weird, no one dare to be rude with him.
After all Xue Hui is Chen Linlin personal attendant, and she's very fond of this servant of her, despite his creepy disposition, offending Xue Hui, is the same with offending Chen Linlin, and offending Chen Linlin is the same as offending Chen Zhenlong.
And no one in divine family wants to be the receiving end of Chen Zhenlong wrath.
"Ok" Xue Hui nodded and walk to the corner of the hallway, a few steps away from the guard.
both guards let out a shaky breath, after being free from Xue Hui stare.
They didn't really want to be subject of those soulless stare.
Thirty minutes later, the door of Chen Zhenlong office open and 5 people came out to the door.
Three people is familiar Xue Hui, its patriarch of Divine family Chen Zhenlong together with the two elders of Divine family.
The other two is someone Xue Hui never since before. One is an imposing man who's aura is not bit lower than Chen Zhenlong.
It was the patriarch of sacred family, Shen Hong together with him is his daughter a teenager with a firey red haired and a sharp eyes, her name is Shen Xiu.
The party said their goodbye and walk toward the direction where Xue Hui is sitting, still holding the tray of food in his hands.
The five people immediately notice the little boy in the corner, who immediately bow upon seeing them.
The elder of Divine family look awkward, they really didn't want for the people outside their family to know that they have such a kid in their family as a servant.
Xue Hui is too abnormal that people who would see him will starting to think what might happened to him to be in that state, the last thing they want is a humor that the divine family is mistreating their own people.

Chen Zhenlong on the other hand, already trying to figure out why Xue Hui is waiting for him, normally the boy would stay in her daughter side most of the time, seeing the boy here is a bit concerning to him, but it look like it not an emergency since the boy looked calm, well Xue Hui kind of calm.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Shen Hong just quirk his eyebrow while staring at the wierd looking servant and didn't say anything.
Shen Xiu on the other hand,
"Ew what wrong with him, why this boy looks creepy!?"
The people of Divine family winced upon hearing the girl's words, Shen Hong just kept his eyes forward pretending he didn't heard his daughter words.
"Hey! what is your name?, what's wrong with your eyes?, you look wierd, stop staring at me, you hear me!? hello!?, are you dumb or something?"
Sheng Hong cough and look apologetic in Chen Zhenlong direction.
Although he agreed in his daughter assessment about the boy, this is still the divine family Mansion, guess like them can't just start insulting the people of Divine family.
"Shen xui that's enough, leave the boy alone, i apologize for her behavior, brother Chen"
Chen Zhenlong slightly shook his head "no need for apology, brother Shen its just a kid being a kid, little hui is indeed a little wierd. But his a good kid."
Shen Hong nod and about to full his daughter who's face to face with the little boy.
"My name is Xue Hui, my eyes is can see find, I'm a little weird looking, I'm not staring at you, you're staring at me, I can hear you, I'm not dumb and you're smells wierd"

everyone presence heard the Xue Hui answered, Shen Xiu question in monotone voice, but everyone almost choke on their own spit when they heard the last bit of his words.
Shen xui stared blankly for a moment until her entire face went red and furiously point at the boy Infront of her.
"SMELL WEIRD!? WHO SMELL ARE WIERD!? ME!?. SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I'M NEVER SMELLED WIERD, YOU WEIRDO YOU DARED TO PERV ON ME!?, I'M GOING TO BEAT YOUR ASS!?" Shen Xui shierking while being hold in her place by her father to stop her from jumping the boy Infront of them.
Said boy was just continue starting at Chen Zhenlong direction, evidently not a little bit interested to what Shen xui was saying.
Chen Zhenlong sent an apologetic looked to Shen hong, the later just shook his head signaling it was fine and drag the girl with him.
Judging by how Chen Zhenlong apologized for the boy, Shen Hong could tell that the boy was of great importance to him and therefore chose not to pursue the matter.
The two left the mansion while being accompanied by the two elder, Shen Xui continue to shrill in anger.
Shaking his head Chen Zhenlong look at the boy who standing Infront of him still holding the tray in his hands.
"What the matter, Xiao hui, and why are you waiting for me?"
Chen Zhenlong felt a little worried, its unusual for Xue Hui to leave his daughter side.
..5
"Lord patriarch, the meal tasted bad" Chen Zhenlong furrowed his eyebrows, he could tell that the meal is belong to his daughter, meaning that her daughter hasn't had her lunch yet.
"She hasn't eaten her meal yet Xiao hui?" The food on the tray left untouched.
Xue Hui shook his head "I didn't serve it to Linlin, it tastes bad"
Chen Zhenlong stop questioning the boy and instead took one of the meal and tried it.
Immediately he spat the food upon tasting it.
He proceeds to taste everything on the tray, each food taste way too salty.
"Xue Hui, is this the first time this happened?" Its one thing for one dish to be this bad, afterall accident can occured from time to time.
But for every dish on the tray too be this bad, things instantly became suspicious.
"No, I've noticed that every time Linlin eaten her meal, her face looked uncomfortable, so I tried all her meals yesterday and today and everything taste bad" although it was stated in such a monotone voice, Chen Zhenlong could practical hear the concerns in Xue Hui voice.
Although everyone would judge the boy as emotionless, he knew that Xue hui is someone who cared deeply for her daughter well-being, and behind those soulless eyes is a reliable friend of his daughter.
So if Xue Hui found something weird about this situation, then something suspicious is definitely is going on here.
"Xiao Hui follow me" both the guard who's listening to their conversation immediately stood straight hearing the urgent voice of their patriarch and followed the two, they didn't dared to make any noises while tailing their boss.

In the large kitchen of divine family, every staff was busy preparing for the next meal, the Lord patriarch is very strict with everyone's diet and making sure that every member of the divine family is eating well.
Li lukong the head cook of divine family for almost 30years now, is busy delegating the work between his staff, suddenly stopped of in the middle of his talk, when he felt a enormous pressure weighting of him.
Its not that Chen Zhenlong is using his spiritual pressure to intimidate Li lukong afterall li likong is just a normal person, even a tiny bit of spiritual pressure from Chen Zhenlong press on him, its enough to cause damage to him.
Its just that li lukong have been working for the divine family for a long time that he got a feel of the aura of the people around him, and right he can feel the aura of very furious Chen Zhenlong.
-BANG!- everyone in the kitchen jump in surprised when someone Burst the door open.
"Xiao hui hand me the meal!" Xue who's following Chen Zhenlong, immediately pass the meal to his lord.
Upon seeing the boy many looked confused of what going on and why lord patriarch sounds so furious.
"Li lukong, here's my daughter's meal, taste it!"
Being called by Chen Zhenlong, Li lukong didn't hesitate to stepped forward and taste the meal on the tray.
"Li Lukong faces turned pale upon tasting the meal, he was so scared that he swallowed the foul tasting food.
"Taste the rest of it" Li Lukong didn't dare to raised his head, afraid to meet Chen Zhenlong gaze.
Every bite felt like a death sentence for Li lukong, each and every mr
Meal on the tray had been tempered, this is not just an ordinary meal.
This are Chen Linlin's meal, Chen Zhenlong daughter and divine family little princess.
with everything tragedy happened to his daughter this fast year, the last thing Chen Zhenlong wanted to hear, is that someone was tampering his beloved daughter's meal.
While Li Lukong was tasting the damn inedible meal, Chen Zhenlong casted his gaze to the entire staffs and able to caught something with his kin eyes, but remained silent for now.
"Li Lukong!" with a paled face Li Lukong lifted his head and ashamedly meet Chen Zhenlong gaze, if wanted to bang his head to the ground enough to floor to be flooded by his blood.

To actually let this kind of things happened in his own kitchen, its a shame that he would be carrying for the rest of his life, how long or short it might be, it all depends of Chen Zhenlong verdict.
"If this we're to happened to another family, you know you'll never getting in this situation in one piece, you're fully aware of that Li Lukong"
Li lukong nodded, if this we're to happened to other nobility family not only him but his entire family would be executed for this crime wether he did it or not, afterall his the head cook, the meal of the entire family his under his care, and for something as heinous like tempering the young princess meal to happened under his supervision.
Li Lukong could only hope that his family would be spare for this offense.
"In behalf of being my friend since we we're little, and all the contribution you and your mother done to my divine family, I will let you keep your head in your shoulder, but your duty as the head cook of my divine family ends here, want you and your family leave my state as soon I handled this matter" Li Lukong nod in acceptance, the only emotions he's feeling right now is bone penetrating shame, for allowing this thing to happened.
Chen Zhenlong, huffed and turn his gaze to the second in command in the kitchen "Peng yu han, from now you'll be in charge in this kitchen, if something like this we're to happened again, you won't be lucky like Li Lukong here, do you accept the duty?"
although there's a real threat accepting the job, Peng yu han would absolutely accept the promotion, being the head cook of a major family is prestige that only few can achieve.
As long as Peng yu han won't let his guard down and let the same mistake happened again, he'll be safe from the guillotine.
"Yes! lord Patriarch, I will promise you that something like this won't happened ever again, and I will personally make sure that young miss Linlin will be properly serve to her" Chen Zhenlong nod, and his gaze turn to staff.

All the staff felt like their soul just jump out of their bodies when Chen Zhenlong gaze turn to them.
Who is Chen Zhenlong?, in terms of strength his only below to legend rank ye mo.
His gaze is enough to petrified their bodies and make them have a nightmare of this for the next coupyof months.
"Now that's settled, why don't you show yourself and make things easy for your family, because if you kept pretending that you have nothing to do with tempering my daughter's meal, I will definitely beheaded not only you but your entire clan."
"T-the b-boy, the b-boy did it" suddenly a frantic voice spoke from behind, this is the same person Chen Zhenlong eyeing from the start.
The moment he entered the room with the tray in hand, this person already sweating profusely, added the fact that her eyes kept eyeing the door behind her. Chen Zhenlong didn't even have to asked if she guilty or not, her action is enough evidence, but again he still need to asked her for transparency, and yet she actually tried to push the blame to Xue Hui.
"Xiao Xue did you tampered the meal of your master?" Chen Zhenlong asked while keeping his eyes to the shuddering women.
"No" answered by Xue Hui with his usual monotone voice.
"There you have it, you heard him, he didn't do it" Chen Zhenlong replied to the women,
"He defi~ uack!" Before she can continue the two gold rank expert immediately apprehended the women and drag her out the kitchen.
The Divine family is known for their soul technique, this technique allowed them to communicate with each other even in far distance, Chen Zhenlong sent a command to the gold rank expert that following them to apprehend the women.
He doesn't have a time to listen to her alibi, the family can just used their family guarded secret soul search technique to know the reason of why she thinks that tampering with his daughter meals is a good idea.
"Peng yu han, make my Lin'er a food she hasn't had anything since lunch, don't mess this up" Chen Zhenlong ordered.
"Yes Lord patriarch leave everything to me" Peng yu han answered, so much things just happened and they still need to prepare a dinner for everyone, but Peng yu han would handle everything deligently.
"C'mon Xiao hui, let's check on Lin'er she might be awake by now" Chen Zhenlong was about to step out in the kitchen when he noticed that Xue hui still holding the tray in his hands.
...9..
"Xiao Hui, go and discard that tray, you don't have to carry that thing anymore"
just as Chen Zhenlong finished speaking. him, Peng yu han, and the kitchen staff, winced upon hearing the shattering sou
nds of expensive porcelain.
Chen Zhenlong stared at the emotionless boy before scratching the bridge of his nose, he did say to discard it.
"C'mon let's head to Lin'er's room"
The patriarch and servant duo finally left the kitchen.
