Chapter 35: Exploitation

“Da Ge, could she perhaps be the Ye Siyu you previously mentioned?” Mu Rongyue looked at Ye Siyu who was currently laughing like a lunatic. She cleverly figured out that woman’s identity.

Qin Yu smiled and didn’t say anything.

His heart was currently ice cold as an intense feeling of crisis welled up. He was very clear on what Ye Siyu meant just now. She was an unpredictable lunatic who could do anything. Back then, the only one who could suppress her was him.

But right now he was Qin Yu who had no strength at all. Ten years from now, nobody would have the ability to suppress this madwoman. Furthermore, it was already five years since the ten year ban, meaning he had to restore his previous strength within five years or surpass Ye Siyu’s strength at the very least. Otherwise, she would cause unimaginable havoc.

Ye Siyu stopped her crazy laughter. Her attitude eased up slightly as she answered Mu Rongyue’s question. “Correct, I’m precisely the Ye Siyu that was mentioned.” She slowly began to return to normal, her voice also becoming somewhat softer. The gaze she used to look at Qin Yu was no longer as icy. “Youngster, being chosen by the grand Xie Di is your blessing. Tell me, what is your name?”

Qin Yu spat out two characters: “Qin Yu.”

“En, Qin Yu, Qin Hao, 1 there’s only a one-word difference. Your names must’ve brought the two of you together by fate. But why does your name have to have the ‘Yu’ character?” Ye Siyu’s gaze turned sharp once again. They both had the same “Yu” 2 character in their names and she loathed the fact that someone else shared the same name as her.

Qin Yu laughed bitterly. This woman’s temperament really was getting more and more extreme. What was all the fuss for? It wasn’t like he chose his own name and could use whatever character he wanted, right? Besides, there were many people who used the “Yu” character to name their child.

Mu Rongyue spoke up from behind Qin Yu. She was worried Ye Siyu would make things difficult for Qin Yu because of his name, so she said, “Senior, a name is only a form of address used by the secular world. With Senior’s noble poise, Senior should’ve long since transcended the secular world’s coils and naturally wouldn’t care about these forms of address used by the secular world. Am I right, Senior?”

“Hmph. You’re quite eloquent, little girl.” Ye Siyu couldn’t declare that Mu Rongyue’s words were wrong. Otherwise, it would diminish her demeanor and noble poise.

Mu Rongyue smiled as she half bowed. “I thank Senior for her praise.”

Beautiful, noble, elegant, intelligent, and someone who followed etiquette.

This was Ye Siyu’s first impression of Mu Rongyue. She was very satisfied with this girl. Suddenly, an idea formed in her mind.

“Little girl, you’ve made This Deity very pleased with you. Are you willing to pay respects to me as your Master?” A faint smile appeared on Ye Siyu’s icy face. It had to be said that her smile was stunning enough to cause all the tender and beautiful flowers in the world to lose their luster. She was an extremely attractive woman. It was quite unfortunate that her temperament was simply no good and degenerated to the point that Xie Di had to banish her.

“Pay respects to you as my Master?”

It wasn’t just Mu Rongyue who was shocked, even Qin Yu was a little startled. He also hadn’t expected that Ye Siyu would want to accept Mu Rongyue as her disciple.

Apart from Ye Siyu taking a liking to Mu Rongyue, the most important reason was naturally Qin Yu.

Right now, Ye Siyu was thinking to herself about how Qin Yu and Mu Rongyue looked very much like lovers. Even if they weren’t sweethearts, their relationship was definitely still very intimate.

Since Xie Di fancied Qin Yu, then she might as well accept Mu Rongyue as a disciple. Once Mu Rongyue became her disciple, she would find a way to bring Qin Yu and Mu Rongyue together so he wouldn’t be able to run away. After the two became a couple, she would meet Xie Di again. At that time, she could use the couple to bring herself closer to Xie Di. 3 This was called “before it rains, bind around with silk,” 4 meaning to make early preparations.

But she didn’t know that the Qin Yu standing before her eyes was Xie Di. The thing she had loathed most was other women getting close to Xie Di. But now, not only was she accepting a woman who had gotten close to Xie Di as her disciple, she was even planning on playing matchmaker for them. If she found out the truth someday, perhaps she would’ve gone crazy.

“Senior, thank you for your good intentions but I already have a Master.” Mu Rongyue tactfully declined, causing Ye Siyu to fall into a bad mood. Being able to be her disciple was an extremely honorable thing, yet this girl had actually declined?

“It’s very simple. I’ll just go and kill your Master.” Ye Siyu’s voice once again turned icy. To her, killing a person was like killing an ant; it couldn’t be easier.

Mu Rongyue’s heart shook. “Senior, you can’t! You can’t kill my Master! An old man like him…”

“You don’t have to say it again. In this world, anyone that This Deity fancies can’t be conceded to anyone else! You can choose to not accept the offer, however, if that is so then I’ll kill the both of you together.” It was a threat… a bare and naked threat!

Mu Rongyue’s face turned ugly. She really didn’t expect that a powerful expert like Ye Siyu would be unreasonable to such a degree.

Qin Yu wasn’t the least bit surprised. This was just this woman’s nature.

Qin Yu quietly whispered, “Xiao Yue, I think it’s better for you to acknowledge her as your Master.”

“But…” Mu Rongyue still felt somewhat unwilling. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to have such a powerful teacher to rely on, it was how abnormal Ye Siyu seemed that made her worried about accepting her as her Master.

“Listen to me,” Qin Yu repeated. His tone was more serious than before.
