Chapter 1892
I Trust Him
A billow of thin sheng DistrictIt slipped through the gaps between the balusters for close to the floor the whole tiht came from inside 19A; the occupants were either out or asleep
Theonly when it was inches away from the balconyIt rose fro its transparency until it formed an opaque clump
Seconds later, the cluure of Su Chan
”Phew…” Su Chan said and leaned herself against the sliding doorThe glass treBe quiet! Master is still upstairs!
Su Chan knew that Master would get here before she didFor one, Master could fly way faster than Su Chan ever couldBesides, Master had left the corn-door building before Su Chan did
Corn-doorWhat a strange na after soain, she didn't understand why Mac Doo Nurls was called Mac Doo Nurls either
Mortals and their strange no around—in her mist forsheng DistrictShe hadn't seen Master leave their apartment—20A—yet, so she knew that Master was still in there, waiting for Su Chan to show up
Speaking of which…
Yippee!!!
Su Chan had !
Su Chan felt like doing cartwheels and soht then and there, but that was probably a bad ideaOh, yesIt would be a terrible idea indeed, considering Master was just one floor up
The plan was pretty straightforward
If Master arrived at the apartment before Su Chan, she would no doubt hide inside the apartment and wait until Su Chan showed up inside the aparth, Master would eventually leave the apartment and look for her elsewhereSu Chan would then sneak in once she was sure that Master had left the building
Of course, Master would search through the whole apart just toanywhere inside the apartment—Master had always been meticulousBut still, Master would eventually be convinced that Su Chan wasn't there, because… well, she really wasn't
Ideally, Master would fly back to Dongwu City after she left the aparth Su Chan doubted Master would do thatMaster was too clever for thatShe would definitely linger in Tiannan City and eventually find a way to track Su Chan downEven e arsenal of spells Master had at her disposal…
Nevertheless, Su Chan was confident that this little scheme of hers could buy her more ti enough until Yundong caainst the glass door until her butt touched the balcony floorThe balcony above was quietThere were no sounds of the sliding door opening, nor did she hear any footsteps
Master was still inside aparted her knees to her chestMaster would be so h Su Chan
Would Master really toss Su Chan aside after this? Su Chan had blatantly defied Master's orders after allSu Chan wondered what kind of punishot backMaybe Master would ground Su Chan for weeks by placing powerful talis
Or maybe Master would unleash her culinary skills on Su Chan…
Su Chan shuddered at the thought
After a while, Su Chan's fear turned into a niggling sensation of guiltMaster had been working so hard to save Yundong's lifeAll those long hours she'd spent inside the study, poring through books and scrolls, drawing talismans…
Su Chan didn't think Master slept or rested at allWell, Master didn't really need sleep or rest, but still…
Su Chan sighed againShe should really stop causing Master so much trouble after thisIt wasn't like she wanted to disobey MasterIt was just that Master had forbidden any forNot even a phone callOr a letter…
Sheso much that her heart achedShe didn't even have a photo or picture of Yundong she could stare at whenever she missed him
A soft thud sounded on the balcony aboveSu Chan rose to her feet and hid herself behind the railingWas Master leaving already?
Su Chan took a peek froht flash, after which a green streak shot into the sky at blinding speedWowMaster's speed was aht and fleards until she reached the balcony aboveHoht when her feet touched the floor
She walked away fro doorMaster had closed it before she left
Standing in front of the glass door, Su Chan peered into the apartreeted her eyes
A wave of disappoint wasn't ho door and stepped into the apart roo looked the same: the couch; the TV box, the shoe rack; her fluffy cartoon slippers; the round table in front of the couch; the rectangular table where they had theirSu Chan's eyesShe thought that being here would make her feel better, but it didn'tIt actually made her feel worse
She was such an idiot
So to stop its flow
It hurt so muchHer chest hurt so muchShe missed hi…”
”Now do you understand why I keep denying your request to coasped and turned aroundDespite the blurriness in her vision, Su Chan could still s moved on their ownSeconds later, Su Chan threw herself into the arht her the first ever spell she knew, the wohter
”I'm s- sorry, Master…” Su Chan cried”I'entle pats on her back
”Shh… It's okay, Chan'er… It's okayJust let it out”
Su Chan kept sobbing into Master's chest, not caring at all that she was ruining the front of Master's dress
”I- I miss him, Master…” said Su Chan after her sobs had turned into snivels
Master sighed”I know you do, Chan'er… I know” Master pulled back so that she could look into Su Chan's eyes”But if you can't even handle a brief separation like this, how are ever you going to survive longer separations in the future?”
The ansas plainShe couldn't
Su Chan sniffed and looked away
”That's why you need to learn how to be self-sufficient,” Master continued”Yes, you love hi like a child”
Su Chan's cheeks heated in shame”I'entle pat on her headThen, she heard Master's chuckle
”It's okayYou're still so young” Master sighed”I guess I should've seen this coaze”Why did you co behind?”
”Cohed loudly”I never left!”
Su Chan gaped”B- But… I saw you fly off— Kyaa!” Su Chan rubbed her head where Master had poked her”O…”
”Oh, Heavens above…” Master said”Your lovesickness must've really messed with your head if you think you can actually fool me, Chan'er”
Su Chan pouted”But I did fool you…” she mumbled”I tricked you the first time back at—”
”Tsk! Such insolence!”
Su Chan made a face at Master, who merely smiled back at her
After a while, Master's expression turned serious”You listen to me well, Chan'er…”
Su Chan stood at attentionMaster's tone wasn't repri, but Su Chan knew that toneWhatever Master's next words were, Su Chan had better give Master her full attention
”Mmm!” Su Chan nodded
”Do you think your beloved has what it takes to becoreat Cultivator?”
”Mmm!” Su Chan bobbed her head up and down”I have faith in him!”
Master arched a brow”In that case, shouldn't you be working hard to grow stronger as well?”
There was a pregnant pause
”Y- Yes…”
Master's brow rose even higher”Surely you want to become a Cultivator worthy of the Heir's affections?”
Su Chan pondered Master's words quietly
”If you truly love hiht to do what's best for him”
Su Chan fiddled with the hem of her dress
”And what do you think is the best for him now, h on right now?”
Su Chan sneaked a glance at Master
Master was clearly waiting for an answer
”S- Surviving his divine punishment?”
There was a snort”Oh, so you do knohat's good for hilance at MasterA pair of stern eyes ht now he needs to focus on strengthening his meridians and his Vital Orb” Master's sharp tone echoed in the room”He can't afford to be distracted, do you understand?”
But wouldn't he be distracted too if he missed her? Su Chan could barely concentrate on her own training because shedidn't miss her at all?
”And you need to focus on your own training so you don't become a burden to him in the future,” Master said sternlyThere was a brief pause, like Master was thinking about soht have powerful enemies in the future?”
Su Chan nodded meeklyHe had powerful enemies even now
”And what do you think would happen if those powerful eneet to him?” Master continued
