Shi Yang stiffened feeling the hot and cold air mixed in. It's very uncomfortable. His body was even hard to move due to the intense pressure when such a cold voice came out from within the residence.
It was definitely Xie Ruo, but he never thought it would be that strong. His judgment was not wrong, the woman indeed hid her aura very well. Who the hell is he?
On the other hand, Shi Muyue was so depressed that he felt like running away. He painstakingly maintained his position with a trembling body. How could that blind Shi Yang hide someone so powerful?
"Honored Miss, this is the matter of the Shi Family and is educating the daughter of the dissident. If the esteemed Miss is willing to cooperate, the Shi Family will welcome Miss very well compared to this filthy house."
"Disputed princess? How dare I say my cute student is a dissident." The cold voice made them even more surprised.
"Muride ...." Shi Muyue nearly lost his mind in disbelief. How could Shi Yang have a teacher? Which madman wants to make a blind girl and pesky student carrier?
Glancing towards Shi Yang who was still motionless from his spot, his gaze was filled with hatred. If only Shi Wei or Shi Yi had gotten the protection of the strong man behind him, he would not have been so furious. What is the right of the blind?
"You Shi Family, don't seem to know how to treat guests. I'm the one who came uninvited, grateful not to have to see someone's thick face."
Shi Muyue nearly vomited blood due to the humiliation of a certain woman. He was eager to fight the woman, but his courage shrieked feeling the cold hot air that was still whack.
In the end, Shi Muyue could only stomp his hands away. Lu Xijue followed with annoyance after seeing Shi Yang cynically. Just watch out later, he would make things bigger and drive the unlucky bearer away from the Shi Family.
After their departure, the unstable pressure and temperature simply disappeared. There were only a few servants sprawled out, some of them covered in blood
Shi Yang regained his senses from the musings and stood up. The atmosphere around was very quiet, he could feel that there were many servants lying down. Even when stepping foot, he can feel his footwear stepping on something wet with a thick fishy smell. There's no mistaking it, something terrible has happened here.
The door of the residence opened, revealing Xie Ruo standing quietly emotionlessly. He looked at the silent Shi Yang, then said, "Don't get me wrong, that remark was just to repel annoying insects, I don't like to be noisy. The servants also did not die, they would wake up by themselves and leave."
"Miss Xie ...." Shi Yang wanted to say something, yet directly swallowed back all the sentences he wanted to convey.
Xie Ruo pulled his brows. "I've finished my research, just looking for a solution. Mother poisoned someone intentionally, I'll find the culprit. For the Shi Family, you better take care of it yourself. Since you let me stay here, as agreed, I'll help you with your training a little. From now on, you'll be training under my supervision."
Xie Ruo went back inside after saying those words. It took a while for Shi Yang to digest, then walked into the residence after coming to his senses.
Xie Ruo had just said that Shi Yang was too weak, Shi Yang knew that. Therefore, he will really practice. No matter what he is blind or not, as long as it can give justice to his mother and to himself, he will be satisfied.
Xie Ruo went to the room and sighed. What does he think about giving sympathy to others? Was it because Shi Yang's condition was similar to his that he could sense the condition directly and fight against those fools?
It seemed, until this moment Xie Ruo still could not leave all the past behind. Ever since all the memories came back, he had become very aware of what he had gone through more clearly than a few years ago. He could not leave Isabella's identity easily.
It was hard for one to abandon his old identity.
For several days, the Shi Family did not disturb the tranquility of the residence. Shi Yang trained quietly, guided by Xie Ruo. Although his guidance only consisted of a few words, Shi Yang easily understood and did well.
Until finally in just a few days, Shi Yang's strength increased drastically. Previously he had only been at the initial professional level for a long time, now he had risen to the intermediate professional thanks to Xie Ruo's insane training.
Although it was a bit crazy, Shi Yang did not complain. Shi Yang's confidence during this time towards Xie Ruo slowly increased. Although Xie Ruo was cold, they were quite close like real teachers and disciples.
If it is like this, it would not be wrong to call them teachers and students. After all, although Xie Ruo did not acknowledge, Shi Yang was the only person he personally taught. Inevitably Shi Yang was his disciple.
That was what came to Xie Ruo's mind, but he didn't care. This situation is forced. If Shi Yang volunteered to become his disciple, he would train him even harder. He did not want to have disciples with abal-abal abilities.
Just thinking about it, Shi Yang had already come before Xie Ruo who was enjoying wine casually while straightening his legs in the long chair. By the way, he is already an expert in drinking alcoholic beverages without fear of being drunk.
"Miss Xie." Shi Yang called out. He put his wand in front, then kneeled in front of Xie Ruo. "I Shi Yang would like to acknowledge you as a Teacher. What can?"
Xie Ruo felt his neck reject the wine he had been downing to the point of spitting it out. He held back the spray, causing his neck to tumble and cough. What did this Shi clan just say? A teacher?
"If not, Shi Yang would not force it." Shi Yang lowered his head. It seemed like he was asking too much to make Miss Xie surprised.
Xie Ruo neutralized his experiment, feeling lucky that Shi Yang could not see. Or he will be very ashamed of his crazy behavior.
He cleared his throat, then spoke in a relaxed tone, "You .. seriously? You're afraid you'll regret it."
"Life, Shi Yang would have no regrets. Previously Shi Yang was being disrespectful for having to be vigilant and not trusting anyone."
"Then you changed your mind," Xie Ruo murmured, then sighed. "Why should I accept you?"
"Shi who can do anything. If Shi Yang could follow Master, it was an honor compared to returning to the Shi Family. Shi Yang ... could also cook despite not being able to see. It sounded absurd, but Shi Yang's perception could figure out the picture of the surroundings in detail without having to look."
Hearing about food, Xie Ruo suddenly felt hungry. He had not eaten since morning because he was too lazy to go outside. He had just found out, it turned out that Shi Yang could cook.
Of course, who would be willing to come and feed this place while Shi Yang could not go outside? Shi Yang had to cook himself and grow his own vegetables. Everything has to be done on its own to survive. Xie Ruo was curious, how did the cooking taste of someone who could not see. Even though he doubted himself.
"Then, I'll give you a test. Being my disciple should certainly have benefits for me, it can't be just one-sided."
"Then Master can tell me." Shi Yang had already steadied his heart. Whatever the difficulty, he will.
"Shi who will do well." Shi Yang immediately stood up aided by his staff, then went into the kitchen smoothly.
Xie Ruo only hoped that his request would not cause this house to burn down. Or at least, he was not forced to eat charcoal. That'sthat's all.
It took a while to let Shi Yang cook for himself. Xie Ruo simply stayed in place, thinking about how it would turn out. He prayed in his heart that his life would not be lost due to unconscious food poisoning.
After the time of one stick of incense, Shi Yang came out carrying a plate of food and placed it onto the table. He returned to the kitchen to pick up the other dishes one by one while carrying a stick in his hand.
Really, this is clearly his name complicates himself. Xie Ruo could only pretend not to see.
"Teacher, please try." Shi Yang smiled extremely widely, appearing extremely confident with the results.
Xie Ruo smiled awkwardly, then sat down on the chair. As there was no doubt on Shi Yang's face, ja could smoothly pick up the food and eat it. Take it easy, even if it is food poisoning, it will not be so affected. Although it will be 'a little' dying.
Eating Shi Yang's cooked vegetables, he fell silent for a moment as soon as the vegetable seasoning touched his tongue.
It made Shi Yang uneasy. "Teacher?" Why is there no sound at all? He clearly knew Xie Ruo was sitting on the dining table chair. Did something happen?
Things Shi Yang did not know, as well as behind the silence of the room. Xie Ruo was smiling to himself while refraining from making a fuss. He has to take care of the face. Once again, he was lucky Shi Yang could not see.
The thing is, the food is great! Not inferior to Qu Xuanzi, Shi Yang's cooking could fall into the category of the most delicious cuisine even though the one he cooked was just a simple meal. Where did Shi Yang learn from?
As Shi Yang was agitated as no sound could be heard, Xie Ruo ate as much food as possible. He hid his eating voice so that Shi Yang would not notice. This was done to keep the face in front of his special disciple.
"Teacher, did something happen?" Shi Yang was getting more and more anxious. Why is there no sound at all?
Xie Ruo finally finished eating until he had a hiccup. He ate too fast, his stomach was full even though he still wanted to chew again.
Out of pity for the waiting Shi Yang, Xie Ruo finally gave a response. "Lumayan, since you've put in a lot of effort, I'll pass."
Shi Yang smiled in relief. Finally he graduated and can follow Xie Ruo tanoa should feel awkward. "Thank you, Teacher."
"Hmm, but you have to cook me food every day, three times a day." Xie Ruo replied lightly. To him, Shi Yang was not just a disciple, but a personal chef.
Shi Yang chuckled. Apparently Xie Ruo liked the food, but still had the prestige of saying it directly. But that's enough.
"Since you've become my disciple, I'll give you a task." Xie Ruo took out a book from the space ring, then passed it to Shi Yang. "It was an emperor level magic to increase your senses sharper and give a psychic attack to the enemy. It doesn't require one to exercise physical strength, but your mental strength should be strong when using it. After you finish, I'll find a heavenly-level magic that matches your abilities and constitution."
Shi Yang's constitution is special and can be drawn by the Holy Tower at any time. But since Shi Yang was already a chef as well as Xie Ruo's disciple, it wouldn't be that easy to enter the Sacred Tower. Unless there was a special condition, he would not allow it.
"Good, Teacher." Shi Yang bowed, then went to practice new magic. Previously, he only had the lowest warrior-level magic. Getting emperor level magic made him very excited.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Three days had already passed, Xie Ruo trained Shi Yang hard. Like training physically and mentally, then help him learn psychic magic in order to solve it quickly. Moreover, he also had to go out to monitor the state of the city and the Shi Family. These three days were a hard day for Xie Ruo.
In Canghai City, there were a few words of the Night Shadow Sect that often gave the information they got to Xie Ruo. That made Xie Ruo finally get a clue.
The poison was obtained all of a sudden, starting from the Shi Family. The maid there said that a mysterious woman had come to visit Lu Xijue. But the woman disappeared suddenly and there was no news. The next day, Lan Xuanyi's health began to deteriorate.
It was very useful information stating that the poison was given deliberately by the mysterious woman who offered to cooperate with Lu Xijue. It could be, the reason for the cooperation is a common thing for a concubine to get a legal wife position.
It was risky to have multiple wives, that was why Xie Ruo was so against polygamy. Fortunately, that won't happen to him. If so, she will kill any woman who seizes her husband and will kill the man who betrays her. Whoever it is and whatever the reason, he doesn't care.
Tonight, he returned to the residence through the window. But as soon as he got to the window, he was surprised to see the open window of his room. The window of the room was closed tightly. Is there an intruder?
It is natural for an intruder. He also had a conflict with the Shi Family, it only made sense that they would send a hitman to finish off Shi Yang and himself.
Why does it have to be his room? How did the Shi Family know that he was in one of the rooms? Are they just the origin of guess or the killer who entered originally so as not to be known? In essence, both guesses have many gaps that may or may not occur.
But the thing that made him even more wary, he did not take another breath other than Shi Yang inside the residence. Did that person hide his breath? Wouldn't his abilities be above Xie Ruo's if Xie Ruo couldn't find his whereabouts?
That's impossible! There was no strong person willing to work with the Shi Family, let alone to simply kill someone as easy to handle as Shi Yang. Except for someone he knew, or 'her' subordinates, no one could hide themselves from him.
Xie Ruo put on an alert stance, then entered the room through the window. He circulated his gaze, trying to find traces of the intruder.
He doesn't keep valuables in the room and doesn't smell new blood, it means everything should be fine. Only, he could not lower his vigilance. However, Shi Yang's safety was also important.
He looked at the window and then closed it. It seemed like he was just misunderstanding and thinking too much about bad things. It could be that the window is open because of the wind, considering that the window is not always tightly closed because of the foundation of the house. Or maybe he forgot to close the window.
After Xie Ruo's mind calmed down, he would go to meet his chef to ask to cook some food. But as soon as he turned around, suddenly a burly hand wrapped around his waist tightly until his back was perfectly attached to one's body. He could feel the man's breath blowing his neck, as well as the whispers he was very familiar with.
"I miss you."
