Ceo’s Fierce Lady Immortal - Chapter 229

Su Ci Yi thought that Qin Tao would be her last disciple.

However, when she thought of the recent happenings, and Baronette suddenly attacking her out of nowhere, the urge to ally with someone gave birth to this idea.

She was not a hypocritical person who believed that she can be alone in this fight, where in fact the other person was already compiling her own allies.

A battle cannot be fought by one person only, but with the allies and friends.

Mai was still crying on the ground. Like a small kid. Her tear gland seemed to function very well because the liquid in her eyes hadn’t stopped flowing yet.

“Stop crying. I won’t kill you.”

Su Ci Yi come back again and landed on her feet in front of her. She couldn’t help to look at this crybaby.

Mai looked at her in astonishment but retorted, “No, you will definitely kill me! Right now you’re trying to get my guard down and struck me at the right timing! I know how it works, just like in the movies I saw!”

Su Ci Yi signed, then threw the sharp knife from her bosom.

“See, I chunk my metal. I won’t kill you.”

Mai stopped crying and looked at her in a new glint. She stood up. Compose herself and wipe the snot on her nose. “W-what do you want?”

Though she composed herself, Su Ci Yi could still feel her anxiousness. Therefore, she smiled and offered her right hands.

“I like you. Do you want to be with me?”

Mai fell again on the ground. She was dumbfounded that her jaw almost dropped on the floor.

She kneeled on the ground trembling.

“I- I apologize. I don’t swing that way. I am pure straight and even if I consented, this relationship won’t get anywhere. Also, you will be getting married now. Please forget me about and live your life to the fullest.”

Mai was totally surprised that she didn’t have time to sequence her idea. She just blurted whatever she thought at the moment.

Su Ci Yi chortled. It seemed that she praised her words wrongly.

“Pardon me. It’s not what I mean. What I want is for you to come under my wing and become my second disciple.”

“Disciple?”

Mai was dumbfounded even more. Although she knew the person in front of her is not that any average, but she didn’t expect to recruit her. She seemed so strong and dominant. Why does she need to recruit her?

Mai dawdled for a while, thinking over.

Seeing she was still thinking, Su Ci Yi ought to demonstrate her first-hand combat skill.

The night had a full moon. And the forest was especially spooky when dark. Out of the corner, from the bushes, a wild boar of about one meter high showed up. His fur was obsidian black and thick. Its mouth was wild and spittle ran down from it.

The beast came from behind Su Ci Yi and Mai saw it approaching her location. Its claws were like a sharp end of a razor, glinting in danger. Its red eyes sparkled in the dark.

She would have shouted, however, before she could even open her mouth, Su Ci Yi jumped up and stop the beast. Fully immobilizing its attack. A second later, she dumped herself on the body on the animal and swiftly twisted its neck.

Without shedding too much energy and blood.

Su Ci Yi subdues it easily.

Like a knight in shining armor, or maybe she was more than that. Mai had never seen such a display of strength before and her eyes twinkled as she saw how powerful she is.

“Now then, do you want to work under me?”

Mai nodded non-stop. No matter what, she should be a partner of this person.

“Master! Please make this your new disciple!”

“Okay then. Let’s start” She cut off the chase and start immediately.

Su Ci Yi pulled her wrist and studied her hand to find her spiritual vein. If this was her sect, there was an object that could determine a person’s spiritual attributes

but there’s nothing like that here.

If there is no spiritual vein on her body, then her recruitment is a waste. But Su Ci Yi was confident of her intuition. This person of hers, who had the same face as her closest colleague back on her sect… wouldn’t be useless, right?

“What should I do?” Mai inquired.

After examining, it seemed that she has it, so for now, Su Ci Yi wanted to test her strength.

” Can you tell me your expertise? The one skill that you thought you excel better than other people? I need to know where your affinity lies.”

” I grew up on this Island. From birth, I was introduced to strenuous activities. My force is on par with men on this Island but I excel in speed. I ran faster than the others.”

“Got it. Tonight we’ll try your speed. Race up to the entrance of the forest. After this, let’s call it a night. Get back here tomorrow. I’ll test your attribute.”

With that Su Ci Yi ran to the entrance of the forest in her speed. She first arrived at the entrance while Mai arrived, a little late than her.

Mai and Su Ci Yi parted ways and when she came back to the house, she used the window of her room and slid off. The lights were off now from the entire house, indicating that the people inside had gone to sleep.

Su Ci Yi with ease, enter and slid unto her blanket. Oblivious of the presence of a person sitting on the other end. His hands were crossed with each other and the surrounding ambiance is dark. A black mass of cloud hanging above his head.

“Where did you come from?”

Su Ci Yi jolted.

She didn’t feel the presence when she came earlier.

Seeing the dark shadow of the man, she went to open the night lamp on the table beside the bed.

” I can’t sleep so I stroll outside.”

The bend lift and sank again. The man now seated just beside her.

The man crumpled his forehead and spoke in a cold tone, “Haven’t you learn your lesson? You got attacked last day. What if danger strikes you out of my sight? How could we compensate if something happens to you?”

Qin Yu’s voice was a little strict and anger cannot be hidden behind his words. He leaned his body, supported by his hand.

“Nothing happened and I came home safe…”

“Now nothing happened, but what if there is? I can’t be by your side to protect you at that time! Can’t you be a little more empathetic towards a person that worries about you. Ci Yi, can you just be a little mindful of people’s feelings when you left them? Tonight is already dark, it’s not safe for a single lady to stroll around!”

Su Ci Yi saw the man’s complicated look. Sadness, anxiety, worrisome, anger. These emotions were mix interpreted on his face.

“This has nothing to do with you. I will go on my way. You can’t do anything about it. My life is my own.”

Su Ci Yi hard-headedly refuted.

Qin Yu’s shoulder drooped down.

Su Ci Yi felt the drop of the temperature inside.

Qin Yu would have open his mouth but seeing her firm demeanor indicating, ‘I have no need of your protection. I can do it myself.’

He was devastated.

He stormed out of the room and closed the door without bidding goodbye to her. He left, leaving an unfinished conversation. This was the first time that she saw him like that and deep inside, she felt guilty. Guilty of what? It’s as if, it was her fault at all. Now, she couldn’t understand herself as well.

She looked up at the trail of the man and sigh deeply. One thing she was so sure of – he was angry at her…

…and sure enough, the next morning, Qin Yu didn’t talk to her.
