Chapter 1892 (2/2)
Su Chan stared quietly at her feetSo room, the clock chimedShe counted twelve times
”If you're so weak that you can't even defend yourself,” Master continued, ”then you'll eventually lead the Heir to his death!”
Su Chan's head snapped up
Master gave her a stern look”Make no ive his life to save you”
So would I, Su Chan wanted to say, but she bit her tongue
”The best way to protect him is to not put him in a position where he has to risk his life for you at all,” Master said”And that ainst his enemies” There was a pause”You don't have to defeat them, of courseBut you need to at least be able to defend yourself when you're up against themOtherwise, you'll just become his Achilles' heel”
The truth of Master's words echoed inside Su Chan's mind
”Do you want that, Chan'er? Do you want to end up beco your beloved's ultimate weakness?”
Su Chan shook her head frantically
Master arched her brow”Do you want to become the reason for his downfall? The source of his dooht her neck muscles were about to tear
”Good” Master nodded”It seee”
Su Chan stared up at Master, waiting for her next words
”NowAre you ready to go back and resu sent a prayer of gratitude to the Heavens the moment she saw Chan'er's nodIf that little speech wouldn't work, she didn't knohat else wouldNot even Ao Wushuang's threats of disownment had worked, for Heavens' sake
”Coan to step away, she felt a tug on her sleeve
Ao Wushuang turned around
There it was again, Chan'er's signature I'm-the-most-pitiful-little-fox-in-the-whole-world eyes
Heavens give hed”Spit it out”
”C- Can I just… u snappedHer tone must have sounded too harsh because Chan'er flinchedShe softened her tone”What is it?”
”Can I check out his bedroo stared at Chan'er in disbelief
”Just for a ! I proether”Please? I…” Chan'er blushed”Istared up at the ceiling and shook her headHeavens save her soulScratch thatNot even the Heavens could save her fro waved her hand tiredly”GoDo whatever you want”
”Yay!!!”
For the following few seconds, the only thing Ao Wushuang heard was the pitter-patter of Chan'er's footsteps
”Silly disciple,” Ao Wushuang grumbled, then walked over to the couch and sat down
Fifteenstood up from the couch in a fit of i?!”
Ao Wushuang had kept Eryue activated, so she knew that Chan'er was still inside the apart stood outside the bedroom whose door was closed and waited for Chan'er to co rapped her knuckles on the door's surface”Hurry up already, geez!”
Seconds passed in silence, which then turned into ahuffed out in frustration, then twisted the door knobShe stor stopped shortChan'er was sitting on the bed with a blank expression, hugging a… hello Kitty piggy bank?
Ao Wushuang approached the bed quietly”What's wrong, Chan'er?”
A grin lit up Chan'er's face, and she raised the piggy bank as if she was trying to show it off to Ao Wushuang”hello Keedee…” The piggy bank clinked noisily when Chan'er shook it a few ti had never felt so confused in her life
”What are you talking about?”
”My hello Keedee…” Chan'er said, again with that silly grin on her face
Maybe a healing spell was required because Chan'er was clearly getting a little loopy here
”TskIt's just a piggy bank,” Ao Wushuang said
Chan'er shook her head”Yundong bought hello Keedee for hed heavilyPerhaps Ao Wushuang was the one ould be needing a healing spell after this
”So?”
That silly grin returned to Chan'er's face again”I found it on the bed, Master! Right beside his pillow!”
You'd think Chan'er had just found out she'd beco by the happy look on her face
”Yeah, yeah, yeahSo he put your piggy bank beside his pillowHoeet of hi said impatiently”Now are you done?”
”It means he did miss me while ere apart…”
”But he wasn't even here,” Ao Wushuang uy was thousands of kilo Tibetan mountains
”He y bank beside his pillow…”
Ao Wushuang wondered if she would be having an aneurysht about now if she weren't a powerful seven-tailed fox spirit”Okay…FineHe ot a lot of work to do—”
”Master, Master! Can I leave a note?” Chan'er bounced on the bed a few ti stared at her through narrowed eyes
Chan'er held three fingers beside her te an oath”Chan'er will be obedient frohed”Fine”
”Hooray!!!”
”But you're not allowed to give hi said sternly
Chan'er bobbed her head up and down, then spent the next fewaround the bedroo for?”
Chan'er closed the wardrobe with a bang”A backpack… His backpack… The one he always brought to school…”
Chan'er began to crawl on the floor to check under the bed
Ao Wushuang sighed”What does it look like?”
Chan'er crawled towards the head of the bed”It looks like a bag”
Ao Wushuang suddenly felt an urge to burn this whole building doith the Five Thunders Spell”Of course it looks like a bag, you silly girlYou—” Ao Wushuang took a deep, cal breath”Tell me its color”
”Black…” Chan'er's voice was muffledNot a surprise since her head was currently buried somewhere under the bed
”Should've said so earlier,” Ao Wushuang mumbled
A simple spell fro closed her eyes and muttered a quick incantationThen, she opened her eyes and held out her palmSeconds later, the water vapor froathered into a ball ofmumbled another incantation
Theout to all corners of the apartainThis simple spell was -range surveillance
Seconds later, Ao Wushuang opened her eyes”It's on the chair beside the dining table”
Chan'er leaped up from the floor and ran out
Moments later, Chan'er returned with a notepad and a pen
Ao Wushuang leaned over Chan'er's shoulder to see what she riting—just in case the girl had other forms of mischief in mind
Chan'er wrote down a line: Beloved! I was home! I missed you so much! Do youand stared off into space
Before Ao Wushuang could say anything, Chan'er tore the page and crue, Chan'er wrote: Congratulations, Yundong! You've passed the Zhuji phaseI miss you… I miss you so, so, so, so… so… much
Chan'er hesitated for ahuffed out in frustration”Oh, for Heavens' sakeIt's just a note! How hard can it be?”
”Sorry! Master! Sorry!” Chan'er looked up at her”I- I don't think I can write it with you looking over ave her a stern look”Remember what I said—”
”I won't reveal our location” Chan'er raised three fingers again”I swear!”
Ao Wushuang sighed and backed away a few stepsThen, she watched from a few feet away as Chan'er wrote down a few lines and folded the paper into a neat squareAfter that, Chan'er brought the note to the bed and placed it under the piggy bank
”You're not worried that he ht miss the note if you put it there?”
Chan'er bea raised a brow”You're that sure?” Ao Wushuang looked around the room”Isn't it better to leave the note at a more conspicuous place?”
Chan'er sy bank, then he'll find the note, Master”
Ao Wushuang snorted”And what if he doesn't care at all? Wouldn't that just break your heart?”
Chan'er leaped off the bed and looped her ar's elbow”He'll find it, MasterI trust him!” Chan'er patted her own chest”I trust hi chuckled and shook her head wryly
Young love indeed
