16: Chapter 15 Then We Are One of Us 16: Chapter 15 Then We Are One of Us The master once said that one must not harm the innocent when descending the mountain, or else she would come down and haul them back up herself.

Originally, Chu Yi had thought that if he really couldn’t adapt, he would just find a deserving commoner to harm and then return to the mountain directly.

But now, he couldn’t bear the thought of hurting any of the beautiful women everywhere!

“Don’t rush things, I’ll wait right here.”

After reassuring the security guard with these words, he sat down next to Wen Ya and asked, “Are you alright?”

“Mhm.”

Wen Ya turned her head away, a bit afraid to look at him.

Remembering the scene where Chu Yi had broken through the door, her heart fluttered slightly.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” Chu Yi asked again.

The flutter in Wen Ya’s heart intensified, and she said in a low voice, “No, I just feel a bit weak, I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

“That’s good then.”

“And you?”

Chu Yi chuckled, “I could still take another fight in the restroom.”

As soon as Wen Ya heard this, she immediately became both embarrassed and angry.

That was a black mark in her life that she could never erase…

“You better stop there!

I am your senior sister after all.”

“What a coincidence, I like senior sisters the most.”

Thump!

Wen Ya’s heartbeat missed a beat.

At that moment, there was a commotion outside.

The police had arrived, but those who handled the situation were not them.

“This is none of your business now, please leave.”

A man and a woman entered, the man in his forties, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, looking every bit the typical intellectual.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, petite in stature, but her face was incomparably pure, somewhat at odds with her stern business suit.

The security guards looked at one another, and after seeing the police wave them off, they finally left.

Afterward, the girls lying on the ground were carried away, leaving only Chu Yi and Wen Ya.

“Hello, let me introduce myself, I am Zhong Hua, and this is Li Xin, from…

a special department.”

Zhong Hua introduced himself politely, while Li Xin couldn’t help but lift her chin arrogantly, almost as if she had the word ‘pride’ written across her face.

“A special department?

How special?”

Chu Yi, unusually, did not focus his attention on the girl, but rather the mysterious dark energy seemed more concerning to him.

“That doesn’t have much to do with you two.

You’d better start explaining what happened here,” Zhong Hua said while closing the restroom door, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit oppressive.

Chu Yi thought it over and decided to tell the truth.

He couldn’t quite get a handle on the origins of the dark energy, so he thought he might as well try to get some information out of these two.

“How should I explain…

Have you ever read a novel?”

“I have.”

“Then it’s easy to explain.

Just now, there was a mass of something like evil energy or a Soul, it took control of a girl’s body, and then manipulated her to attack others.

Those who were touched by it would lose their strength, feeling utterly exhausted…”

“Do you think we’re three years old?”

Chu Yi hadn’t finished his explanation when he was interrupted by Li Xin.

She snorted, “Evil energy, Souls?

Come on, brother, what era do you think this is?”

Chu Yi spread his hands, “Believe it or not.”

“Even if what you said is true, where is that evil energy now?”

“It went down the drain.”

“Ha!” Li Xin rolled her eyes, “Making stuff up on the fly, are we?”

Chu Yi glanced at her, then said to Zhong Hua, “Mr.

Zhong, does your department not consider brains when recruiting?”

Li Xin was stunned for two seconds before she grasped Chu Yi’s meaning, and then she became furious.

“You’re asking for a beating!”

With a delicate shout, she charged forward, her little fists pummeling towards Chu Yi’s chest.

Wen Ya immediately sensed trouble, knowing that with his nature, wasn’t she just serving herself up on a platter!

Sure enough, Chu Yi performed a carp flip to get up, narrowly dodging Li Xin’s punch, and shifted behind her.

Then he raised his hand, and with a crisp smack sound, Li Xin froze completely.

“Naughty children deserve a spanking!”

Chu Yi stated righteously.

Wen Ya’s mouth twitched, this hooligan!

Zhong Hua’s face looked extremely odd, this kid…

isn’t he shameless to the extreme?

At this moment, Li Xin finally realized what had happened, and her eyes reddened as if she was about to burst into tears.

That made Chu Yi stunned as well.

Why did it end up with her crying?

I didn’t use much force.

“You…

you…”

Li Xin glared with her round eyes, but for a good while, she couldn’t come up with an explanation.

She didn’t bother speaking anymore and swung another palm towards Chu Yi.

Zhong Hua was shocked, “Li Xin!

Don’t!”

But it was already too late.

Chu Yi had not taken it seriously at first, but just when that palm was about to strike him, he suddenly felt an alarm go off in his head.

Without hesitation, he immediately raised his hand to deflect it.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Li Xin’s palm was deflected to the side of Chu Yi.

Then an invisible Qi Blade sprung from his palm, cutting into the tiled floor.

Crack!

The tiles cracked with a spider web-like fissure.

Both Chu Yi and Wen Ya were astonished at the sight.

This was a bit beyond their common sense.

Could a person actually shoot air cannons?

Is that even human?

While they were utterly confused, Zhong Hua shouted out loud, “Enough!

Li Xin, come here.”

“But…”

“Come here!”

Seeing that Zhong Hua really seemed angry, Li Xin pouted her mouth, with her eyes still red, and stood behind him, full of resentment and glaring at Chu Yi.

“Young man, your skills are quite impressive, who was your master?”

Zhong Hua asked indifferently.

“Qingcang Mountain.”

Zhong Hua was taken aback, “Lin Qingying is what to you?”

“My master.”

“No wonder!” Zhong Hua was silent for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, “Since you are her disciple, then it’s fine.

You can go.”

“You know my master?”

Chu Yi asked in surprise.

It seemed that the whip-wielding lady from Heavenly Mountain was quite famous?

“I’ve heard a bit about her.”

“Oh, since there’s that connection, then we’re practically family, right, Uncle Zhong?

Could you reveal which department you’re from?

And do you know what that ghostly thing was?”

Chu Yi asked familiarly, his eyes full of curiosity.

But Zhong Hua just chuckled, “We have confidentiality rules, so stop asking.

If you want to know, ask your master.

She knows much more than I do.”

My master?

That master who always held a pile of snacks while binge-watching dramas and variety shows, laughing like a fool, knew any secret information?

Chu Yi found it hard to believe, but Zhong Hua did not wish to discuss further.

After saying goodbye, he led the still resentful Li Xin away.

“Chu Yi, our master…

she seems to be quite a remarkable person, huh?”

Wen Ya muttered questioningly.

It seemed quite possible…

Chu Yi pondered for two seconds, then crouched down in front of Wen Ya.

Just when she thought he was about to reveal some secret, Chu Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, “Can you move?

Do you need me to carry you?”

Wen Ya’s expression stiffened.

What was I expecting just now…

“No need!

I just need to rest a bit and I’ll be able to walk.”

“Oh.” Chu Yi shook his arm that was touched by the black energy, “I just bumped my arm, and it still has no strength; you were touched all over your body, resting a bit might not even be enough for you to walk, right?”

Wen Ya pursed her lips, and after a while, she finally spoke in a voice quiet as a mosquito, “Then…

then carry me.”

“Huh?

What did you say?

I didn’t hear you.”
