46: Chapter 45 Do you know my master?

Yue Yao slowly brought the car to a stop on the side of the road and looked around.

“Where is anyone?”

“They’re hiding, I will go find them, you should go back first,”

Chu Yi got out of the car and strode towards the nearby walking park.

The landscape lights were surrounded by swarms of flying insects, causing the light to appear somewhat patchy.

Next to that yellow glow, a woman in a T-shirt and jeans, with shoulder-length hair, was watching Chu Yi, wearing a fox mask on her face.

Chu Yi looked her up and down and asked, “Did the Zheng Family send you?”

The woman didn’t speak.

“Never mind then.”

Chu Yi smirked and casually walked towards her.

If she wasn’t talking, then she was of no value—just get rid of her directly.

If she chose to speak, then after she finished, she would still be of no value—just wait a bit longer before disposing of her.

That was the logic, but just as Chu Yi was about to grip his long knife and prepare for a quick fight, the woman suddenly spoke.

“Why does the Zheng Family want to kill you?

And with no limit on the price, they must be quite determined.”

It was indeed those guys.

Chu Yi shook his head, knowing they wouldn’t be that honest.

“Took something of theirs, didn’t they tell you when you took the job?”

The woman’s eyes showed a flash of realization, no wonder.

“Alright, come on!”

She uttered softly and charged at Chu Yi.

Her palm flipped over, and two oddly-shaped weapons appeared.

Like the character ‘山’ [Mountain] with half removed, they gleamed coldly.

These weapons looked somewhat familiar.

Chu Yi raised an eyebrow, feeling he had seen these weapons somewhere but couldn’t remember for the moment.

While he racked his brain trying to recall, the woman closed in and launched a fierce assault, dense like sudden rainfall.

Chu Yi blocked with his left hand shield and knife in his right, effortlessly warding off the attacks.

But the question in his mind grew stronger.

Not only were the weapons familiar, but the attack patterns also felt like déjà vu.

Where had he seen them before?

“You’re getting distracted at a time like this?”

The woman opposite him attacked with focused intensity, but found that her strikes were always precisely blocked, which irritated her.

It was during this frustration that she realized her opponent was getting distracted!

Do you look down on me?!

The woman’s brows knotted tightly, a sense of being slighted surged in her heart.

Chu Yi snapped back to reality, “Sorry, I was thinking about something just now.”

As he spoke, he trapped the woman’s weapons with his knife and flung them, nailing them into the trunk of a tree ten meters away.

Before the woman could react, Chu Yi stepped on her foot to prevent her from dodging, and then moved in close, thrusting his long knife from below upwards towards her neck.

A strong sense of danger instantly filled the woman’s mind.

When she tried to dodge, she saw her foot was firmly pinned down; even if she could break free, it was too late.

It’s over!

Despair flickered in her eyes involuntarily.

But just as she braced for the killing blow, the tip of the knife only pierced her skin and then stopped.

After a few seconds, when the anticipated pain did not come, she cautiously opened her eyes, only to find Chu Yi staring at her neck.

With a flick of his knife, he lifted her collar and a tattoo of a bird spreading its wings amid flames came into view.

“Damn it!”

Chu Yi finally remembered why the weapons and the attack patterns seemed so familiar.

In his childhood, there was a senior sister on the mountain who always loved to tease him.

Later, she went down the mountain to gain experience and rarely came back to Qingcang Mountain, though she would send some money every month.

That senior sister’s weapon was this Mountain Thrust, and her attacks were mainly thrusts.

This couldn’t be a disciple of that senior sister, could it?

While Chu Yi was caught in his surmise, the woman bit her silver teeth and spat out fiercely, “Kill or slash me as you please, but dream on about doing anything beastly to me!”

Uh…

She wouldn’t think I was going to do something to her, would she?

It was only then that Chu Yi realized the long knife was so sharp it had cut open her collar, exposing most of her snow-white shoulder, along with a strap.

“So, who is Yu Yan to you?”

Chu Yi asked, staring into her eyes.

Her pupils noticeably shrank, and she insincerely said, “Who is Yu Yan?

I don’t know her.”

“Heh, your lying skills need work.”

Chu Yi laughed, then to her astonished gaze, he actually sheathed the knife, “You can go.

Tell your master when you get back that Chu Yi is at Binhai University.

Ask her to visit when she’s free.”

The woman hesitated for a few seconds, confusion escaping her lips, “You…

You know my master?”

“Of course, I do.

She’s my senior sister.”

“What?!”

The woman’s eyes widened dramatically, “You’re from Qingcang Mountain too?”

Chu Yi nodded, then waved his hand dismissively, “Alright, go back.

Try to take less of this dirty work in the future.”

After speaking, Chu Yi turned and walked away.

However, after walking a considerable distance, he suddenly turned around, resignedly saying, “I say, why are you following me?”

“Um…”

The woman stood there, hesitating for a moment, before admitting, “My master went on a trip and didn’t leave me the keys…”

“Then go to a hotel.”

“All my money and cards were left at home.”

“Use your phone to pay.”

“I lost my phone…”

Chu Yi’s mouth twitched, “You aren’t penniless now, are you?”

She nodded her head and awkwardly said, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the Zheng Family’s job.

I can’t even afford food.”

For a person who studied martial arts to fall to a state where they couldn’t afford food was an utter disgrace…

“Forget it, I’ll give you money, you…”

Chu Yi reached for his pocket but stopped speaking.

He’d forgotten that he had come out to do business and hadn’t brought any money.

“Forget it, just come with me.”

“Mm-hmm!”

Chu Yi led her home, glancing behind him, “Take off the mask.

Where did you get such a toy-like mask?”

“I swiped it from a street stall in front of an elementary school.”

The woman…

no, the girl said as she took off her mask.

In her twenties, a face of delicate features and tanned skin appeared, especially her charming foxy eyes which were particularly noticeable.

Even with a simple expression, they seemed to be electrifying.

She seemed aware of the allure of her eyes as she pulled out a pair of glasses from her pocket and put them on.

However, after putting them on, she somehow looked like ‘female boss.MP4’.

Chu Yi involuntarily looked down, but alas, if only her figure had been a bit more curvaceous.

“What’s your name?”

“Just call me Wu Xue, Uncle-Master.”

Uncle-Master?

Chu Yi couldn’t help but crack a smile at that address.

Looks like I’ve moved up a generation.

“Just for that Uncle-Master, you can hang with me.

I can’t let you go hungry before your master returns.”

At those words, Wu Xue’s face lit up, “Thank you, Uncle-Master!”

After more than an hour’s walk, they finally made it home.

It was almost ten o’clock, but the living room’s light was still on.

Chu Yi was thinking that Feng Qian had left the light on for him, but then he saw her sitting on the floor next to the coffee table, surrounded by spicy crawfish, grilled squid, beef skewers…

and there was even a case of beer beside her.

Hearing the noise, Feng Qian looked over instinctively, her eyes blurry for a few seconds, before she suddenly cried out loud.

“Chu Yi!

Who said you could bring a woman home to stay the night!”
