Chapter 21: 021, have you thought it through?

Gu Yang said with indifference, “Don’t you understand? In this world, nothing is a given. Whatever you want, you must be willing to pay the cost.”

Upon hearing his words, Su Qingzhen shivered, her face turned paler than ever.

Biting her lip tightly, she straightened up, vigorously wiped away her tears, and sneered bitterly, “So you’re no different from those bandits…”

“Haha!”

A light chuckle escaped from Gu Yang, “Although you are moderately pleasing to the eye, your self-righteousness and sense of entitlement, assuming that the world owes you, is nauseating. I don’t find you appealing.”

Never had Su Qingzhen thought he would speak like this. She felt a buzzing in her head, her gaze empty, her soul almost flew away from her, struggling to stand in her stupor.

Zhi Xing, who was standing nearby, quickly supported her. The sight of two people arguing made her extremely anxious and scared, and she almost broke down into tears.

On one side was her mistress,

And on other, Brother Gu whom she owed her life to and who had been very kind to her.

She had no idea what to do in this situation.

Gu Yang closed his eyes having finished his sentence.

In a corner of the ruins, Zhang Xiao Hai continued to practice without getting affected by the altercation.

Suddenly, a loud crackle broke the silence of the temple from the firepit.

The junior maid, seeing Gu Yang no longer speaking, heaved a sigh of relief, and helped her mistress Su Qingzhen to sit down. Seeing her bury her face on her knees in silence brought worry to her heart.

The night, then, quietly passed in such silence.

The light of dawn had barely risen when Zhang Xiao Hai woke up, intending to practice. However, he saw Su Qingzhen abruptly stand up and walk towards Gu

Yang.

“What is she trying to do?”

Curiosity arose in his heart.

When he first saw Miss Su’s real face, he was stunned. He never imagined there could be a woman of such beauty in the world, as if a fairy had descended from the heavens.

His limited imagination could only use the word ‘fairy’ to describe it.

He believed that this earthly fairy is his future martial aunt and he was respectful towards her. However, all along the way, she had never looked at him squarely.

It was not surprising, for these past few days she had given Gu Yang the same cold shoulder.

Zhang Xiao Hai was musing when he saw Su Qingzhen kneel down in front of

Gu Yang.

Was he seeing it wrong?

After rubbing his eyes for a clear view and confirming she was indeed kneeling, he was taken aback.

Hanging out with them these days, he figured out that this fairy-like young lady probably came from an affluent family. He had seen plenty with that kind of superior and condescending attitude.

Now, this lofty maiden, was kneeling before Gu Yang.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Xiao Hai wouldn’t have believed it. Subsequently, Gu Yang’s voice rang out, “What do you think you’re doing?”

“I want to learn martial arts!”

Although Su Qingzhen spoke softly, her tone held an unusual determination, “I know that you can help me. As long as I can become a martial artist, no matter what the conditions, I will… agree to them.”

Oh, it’s about martial arts!

Zhang Xiao Hai finally understood. Kneeling to beg for discipleship was not disgraceful. But having taken this many days to make up her mind, she really had lagged.

Wasting so much time.

Gu Yang asked her, “Are you sure?”

“I am!”

“All right. I can help you, on one condition—you have to be my servant.”
