Chapter 666 - Professional Blackie (2/2)

Shu Yuan of the Dan Chen Mountain was a terribly strict person. He expected high standards, be it from his own disciples or from his daughter. What’s more, he was the master of discipline, put in charge of disciplining the entire sect’s disciples. He had always been impartial. One could say that he was overly fair.

It was obvious that Shu Yi had broken the rules by going out of the city at midnight.

This time, Zuo Shuming really struck Shu Yi where it hurt. There was no doubt that the father and daughter would get into an argument soon enough. However, it remained to be seen how Shu Yuan would punish his daughter. After all, she was Tian Ji’s disciple. Since she was already a part of the sect, all her punishments and rewards had to go through Tian Ji. Even though Shu Yuan was her father, he had no say in these matters.

Over the next few days, none of them saw Shu Yi.

Without the threat of the fiendish cultivator, their mission progressed especially quickly. Al the disciples remained in the palace for four more days before the evil aura left those who were infected before. Shu Yuan left behind several pills, but led his disciples to carry the rest back with him.

It was then that Zuo Shuming finally caught sight of Shu Yi. He instinctively greeted her. “Uncle-Master Shu, you-”

“Get lost!” Before he could finish greeting her, Shu Yi shot a death glare in his direction. It was almost like she was shooting daggers at him with her eyes. How she wished she could stab him several times right there and then.

Zuo Shuming halted. His hand remained in mid-wave.

Shu Yi tutted and boarded the spirit boat. Then, she sought out a seat in the far corner and sat down with her back facing Zuo Shuming. It was like she was having difficulty controlling her anger.

Zuo Shuming wanted to ask how her injury was healing. Now, he set down his hand and pouted. He turned and nudged the person beside him. “Brother Lonemoon, what’s wrong with Senior Sister? Why is she so fierce all of a sudden?” She looked like she wanted to kill him.

“You don’t know?” Lonemoon looked at him, at a loss for words. You’ve played her for so long – do you not even realise?

“I don’t know!” Zuo Shuming answered, genuinely confused. “I realized there was something weird about her from the moment we moved out of the main peak.”

Lonemoon cast a sideways glance at him, but did not say anything. It’s time you figured these things out for yourself from her expression.

“Could it be…” He suddenly realized something and looked shocked.

“What?”

Zuo Shuming looked around and lowered his voice nervously. “Do you think.. she knows that I didn’t like the way she looked before? Was that why she changed the way she looked? To try to get my attention?”

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing, who was seated beside him: “…”

-_-|||

That’s unbelievable!

A while later…

“Two Bucks…” Lonemoon sighed and patted his shoulder.

“Huh?”

“I say, you look ugly but your imagination is beautiful!”

“…”

Faintly, Zuo Shuming felt a dagger stab right through his chest. He pondered for a moment and could not help but answer, “But she’s changed so much. She used to be so warm toward us. Now, she can’t even be bothered with Lady Shen.”

“How do you know she can’t be bothered with Shen Ying?” Both of them don’t even know each other.

“I saw it with my own eyes!” Zuo Shuming pointed in front of him.

Lonemoon turned to see that there was someone now seated beside Shu Yi. The lady was resting her chin on one hand, and holding a fruit with the other. As she gnawed on her fruit, she studied Shu Yi closely. She was leaning so close to Shu Yi that their faces were almost touching. Yet, Shu Yi did not seem to realise.

“Holy shit!” Lonemoon jumped to his feet.

When did that thing go over there?!
