Chapter 707 - Untitled
Su Ruyu, who was looking down at her new outfit, did not notice Mo Shitian’s face that changed. “How is your disciple related to Su Man?” Mo Shitian asked.
“They’re good friends I guess. I have a female disciple who was so into Su Man and pursued him for a very long time to no avail and took to liking somebody else. “Su Ruyu was also not too sure of what went on between them.
She only knew that Su Man played a substantial role in helping with Eleven’s virus, so she felt they should be good friends.
“This makes it all the more interesting,” Mo Shitian said. However one went about, they were still family after all. What kind of sorcery was this? He looked at Su Ruyu with droopy eyes as though he did not manage to recall anything. He was hesitating whether to tell her.
All these years, Su Ruhua was looking for her. Chances were she was not at the Su’s mansion. Su Man was very young then and would not know a thing. Chances were he did not know she… But this face that almost resembled Su Ruhua’s would definitely arouse suspicion.
When the Su family was almost exterminated back then, he had an indirect hand in unintentionally causing it. The children created an irreparable rift between Ruyu and himself, and she hated him to the point of not wanting to see him, absolutely unforgiving. To force her to surface, he caused the Su family to be almost wiped out. He almost caused Su Ruyu to perish with him as well. He then thought she was dead…
He had always felt that way all these years.
Ruyu had lost her memory and would not remember all these. She could not remember their sweetest days and hence loved him. What if she remembered everything…
Would history repeat itself?
When the Su family met its demise twenty years ago, she once said that they could never coexist in the world, and she, in her immense hatred, had to kill him. Having lost her memories for so many years, would all these from long ago seem to have happened yesterday should she regain her memories? Ruyu’s hatred for him would remain as strong, and she would certainly kill him, no?
“Ruyu, actually…” Mo Shitian stroked her long hair but stopped in his words. Despite whatever come may, he would never let go of her nor let her leave him. They had just gotten back together. He had never had enough of her and he did not want the tragic past to repeat itself.
Mo Shitian hence chose to remain silent.
“You were about to say…” Su Ruyu asked. “Do you want to go out?”
“No!” Mo Shitian shook his head and smiled, landing a kiss on her cheek. “I just want to spend more time with you. As for what is to come… Let’s put that aside for now and head out, shall we?”
Mo Shitian went upstairs to change into black casual wear and a black windbreaker. In her memory, he often loved to wear black casual wear. The Mo Shitian of before seemed to have returned, like some warm-blooded animal that always wore a windbreaker in summer or winter.
His tall, somewhat cold, and graceful figure perfectly accentuated his domineering and steel-willed streak in him.
The Su’s mansion.
Under the relentless assault from Ye Wei and company, Ping-er gracefully dodged the questions and did not reveal Su Ruyu’s tracks. Su Ruhua was hard-pressed to know where Su Ruyu was and interrogated Ping-er for long. As Ping-er faced off against her who somewhat resembled Old Witch, she was a little jittery but alert enough to throw red-herrings to digress the topic. She did not show any weaknesses along the way.
“Ping-er, please do not blame us if we are not the nicest people in town when we evict you from here.” Jason clenched her fist and threatened her.
Ping-er showed a saddened face and said, “Dear seniors, please show some mercy toward me. I’m just a fourteen-year-old girl who’s the top teenager in the country, adorable, and innocent. You can’t goad me into doing something unwholesome…”
Eleven laughed at how Old Witch managed to nurture another enfant terrible.
Ye Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled sinisterly. Ping-er was so scared she hid behind Bai Ye. “Senior Ye Wei is so terrifying! Senior Bai Ye must protect me!”
Bai Ye was taken aback and asked, “Didn’t your master tell you when she would look for us?”
“No, she only gave me instructions not to tail her secretly.” Ping-er pouted as she hugged the nicest Bai Ye. Love bubbles came out from her eyes. ‘Hehe, it sure feels comfortable to hug the handsome Senior Bai Ye…’
“Ping-er, I realized that you have a tight lip. Are you interested in joining our intelligence department?” Chu Li smiled as he asked. This was a talent that he could easily get his hands on.
“I have yet to complete my evaluation.”
“How stupid of you! You’re fourteen, but you haven’t completed your evaluation? How many more items are you left with?”
Ping-er timidly raised a finger. “Just one more.”
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. “That said, your evaluation should be over by next year.”
“Thereabouts. Wow, senior, don’t you know how incredible that junior you sent over is? Master loves him! He cleared all three IQ evaluations in a month, and I’m so jealous of him. He completed in one month what took me three years. I’m so frustrated. I want to open his brain to see what’s ticking inside!”
Everybody laughed. The IQ evaluations were no mean feat for Ning Ning. If the estimates stood, he should be able to complete all ten evaluations within the year.
“What are you jealous about? The physical combat evaluation is not that easy to pass. Given how squeamish Ning Ning is, he would have quite a learning curve to overcome,” Ye Wei said. “That guy is so tender I couldn’t bear to train him.”
“That chap is smart and has good endurance, but the key is master being too biased.” Ping-er cried in accusation. “When I fell down back then and was half-dead, master did not even check in on me. When junior fell, she patched him up. How unfair!”
Everybody was lost for words.
“Also, junior has charmed all the female seniors on the island to the point they’re losing their bearings and throwing themselves at him. Given how he draws attention to himself, he is nothing short of a womanizer in the future.”
Ye Wei broke into laughter at how kickass her third brother’s DNA was.
“Got it. Little girl, were you also charmed by him?” Eleven smiled and asked.
Ping-er held Bai Ye’s neck and said, “I am not attracted to tykes like him! I only like people like Senior Bai Ye. Senior, can I marry you? We know each other back to back. Could you please take me since I like you?”
Everybody was rendered speechless.
“Ping-er, your Senior Bai Ye already belongs to someone.” Black J could not help but laugh. Bai Ye’s eyes twitched. When did he become such a magnet for young chicks?
Ping-er raised her eyebrows in bewilderment. She put her arms at her waist and stared. “I’m not afraid! If any woman dares to have my Senior Bai Ye, I’ll piss on her ancestors’ grave.”
Everybody was rendered speechless again.
“You’re asking for loads of trouble!” Ye Wei said.
