We went to a different room to cook. A big kitchen with different fresh ingredients. The herbs that I also need were placed on the counter.

"Mr. Xiao, I haven't seen anyone use the ingredients that you need for cooking. Can you please tell me the effects of it?"

"Sure. First is the Fire Root, which is used for maintaining the heat of the dish, it is not spicy, it is only used so that the dish will not become cold. It is a herb suitable for winter. I am using this one so that the soup dish that I will create can last long and can be eaten anytime. The effect of the fire root will be effective when you first exposed it to high temperature."

"Oh. That's amazing."

I began cooking the dish. I added a lot of herbs and explained its effect to Mr. Zhao. I am cooking soup that is good for body cleansing. Its effect is like the process of achieving a heavenly body but less painful.

"Ms. Ming, this is the gift for your father. This is the body cleansing soup. Your father needs to drink this once a day for one month. It will have a positive effect on his health."

"I understood Mr. Xiao. We will give it to my father."

After securing the soup. We thanked Zhao.

"Thank you for letting us use your kitchen, Mr. Zhao."

"No. no. no. It is my pleasure. Can I become your disciple Mr. Xiao?"

"I will give you tests to know if you are qualified to be my disciple."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. Please accept this token. You can use it to purchase herbs from my business. All free."

"We will leave now."

Ms. Ming and I went out of the building and drive to a villa.

"I did not believe that you know about herb refining, Mr. Xiao. I am impressed. My father will be glad."

"Well, I am a food addict. I know all kinds of herbs that I can use to cook."

I collected a lot of herbs with great effects but I must be careful when I use them. One herb that I possess can attract a lot of problems.

"We are here Mr. Xiao."

Leaving the car, I suddenly felt an unpleasant aura outside. I immediately ask Ming.

"Ms. Ming, How long have you living here?"

"More than 2 years. Why? Is there a problem Mr. Xiao?"

"Yeah. Can we go to your father now?"

"Yes sir."

We went inside the house and saw Ms. Ming's relatives inside the mansion.

"Who are you bringing into this house now Ming?" Said the aunt of Ming.

"Father invited Mr. Xiao. We need to talk to Father."

"Oh. Can you introduce us to this man?"

"Mr. Xiao this is Aunt Helen. Aunt Helen, this is Mr. Xiao. He is Dad's benefactor."

"Oh. Benefactor. What did you give exactly?"

"I don't think that is your concern"

"Hmm. What is that your holding Ming? Is that a soup?"

"Yes."

"Hahahahaha. I did not know that you have a delivery man as a friend."

She was interrupted by her husband.

"Hey dear, stop that. Ming, Father is inside his room."

"Thank you, uncle."

"Hmp!"

I felt their gazes and insult through their eyes. it seems that Ms. Ming doesn't get along with his family.

"Sorry for that Mr. Xiao."

"It is fine."

We are standing in front of the door.

"Father, I brought Mr. Xiao with me."

"Come in."

The door opened and I saw a frail looking man. Almost a grandfather. I can also feel the unpleasant feeling that I felt a while ago.

"Hello Mr. Xiao. Thank you for the spiritual stones that you sell to my daughter. It really helps me a lot."

"It is alright. I actually came here to ask a favor."

"Anything that you want. We will surely help you."

"Before that, can I please examine your body?"

"Are you a doctor Mr. Xiao?"

" No I am not but I know a lot about medicine and diseases."

"Sure."

Surely enough. I felt the unpleasant aura in his body. I traced it and I saw a figurine on the table with the same aura.

"May I ask what is this and where did you get it?"

"Oh. This one? I got it from an auction two years ago."

I believed that this is the one making you sick.

"How can that be. I don't feel anything malicious."

"It is okay. You definitely can't feel it because it is masked by another aura. Can I take this?"

"Of course. Please take it."

"Thank you. By the way, I have a gift for you Mr...."

"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ling. Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Xiao."

"Nice to meet you too. Here is a medicine that I made for you. It can replenish and cleanse your body. But you are only allowed to take one cup every day for one month."

"Thank you very much!"

I picked up the figurine and examined it. I am right, It has the aura of the man that killed me in my previous life. I need to investigate this.

"Mr. Xiao, what is the request that you need?"

"Ah! I almost forgot. I need you to introduce me to a security agency to protect my family. But I don't want them to know about it."

"That is easy. I will introduce them to you. Ming, call Zack here."

"Yes, Father."

A fit-looking man entered the room.

"This is Zack, he is my main bodyguard. He will introduce you to my guards"

"Follow me, sir."

We went to a different building.

"This is the main security building. You can choose what you need here."

"Alright."

I chose 3 guards. Their physic is good enough and they are 4th rank. They can definitely protect my family in the shadows. I told them about their job and they accepted it.

Now I need to prepare my clothes for the birthday celebration late at night.

"Ms. Ming I have to go shopping."

"Let's go together, Mr. Xiao."
