Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Calm Before The Storm?

Gu Jin glanced at Lu Siyao’s forehead but didn’t see anything.

She thought about Ying Yue’s different cultivation methods and suddenly intervened,

"Okay Yue, it is time to deliver your pick-up line."

Ying Yue looked at Gu Jin with a confused expression.

What pickup line?

Gu Jin motioned her with her eyes and Ying Yue finally understood. Gu Jin was telling her that whatever she(Ying Yue) was seeing couldn’t be seen from a mage’s perspective, so she should hide the fact that she was seeing something extraordinary.

Ying Yue suddenly hugged Lu Siyao, which stunned Lu Siyao, then she heard Ying Yue say in a cute voice,

"Sister Lu, as long as you hug me, your forehead will turn bright again, you just have to hug me~"

Gu Jin: "..." Why do I think that Ying Yue is very similar to Lu Siyao?

Ying Yue blinked at Gu Jin as if asking, is it okay? Gu Jin blinked back.

Lu Siyao’s eyes widened in surprise.

She pulled Ying Yue and asked curiously,

"How could you flirt better than me?"

Ying Yue scratched her cheeks and said,

"As long as I see a beautiful sister, I can’t control myself!"

Gu Jin: "..." She is too smooth.

Lu Siyao was surprised again. Usually, she doesn’t like any children and tries to avoid them as much as possible but Ying Yue’s words attracted her attention and she asked,

"Kid, do you want to become my disciple?"

Maybe because Ying Yue took the initiative to hug her or maybe because Ying Yue was too much like her, Lu Siyao couldn’t control herself and asked that question.

"What does disciple mean?" Ying Yue asked curiously.

Lu Siyao smiled and explained,

"It means I’ll teach you everything I know, and you can call me master. We’ll be like... a team. How about that?"

Ying Yue’s eyes sparkled before it dimmed,

"But won’t that place you in a disadvantageous position?"

Lu Siyao was amused by her words and she asked,

"How so?"

"You will teach me everything but I will only call you master after learning everything, pat my butt and leave."

"Hm... that indeed seems to be the case, then tell me, what should I ask for in return?" Lu Siyao asked with a chuckle.

Before Ying Yue could give an answer Gu Jin who was shocked, sobered up and said,

"We are getting late, let’s go!"

Ying Yue understood Gu Jin’s hint and shut her mouth.

Lu Siyao was a bit disappointed when she saw Ying Yue turning silent. She glared at Gu Jin,

"You are truly something! Why are you scaring a little girl?"

Gu Jin wanted to roll her eyes.

Lu Siyao was reacting as if she had never scared anyone.

She kindly reminded her,

"Did you forget how you once scared the son of vice principal?"

Lu Siyao’s face turned red and she shouted,

"Jin! Don’t go too far!"

Ying Yue was confused and asked curiously,

"Oh, did Master scare someone earlier?"

Gu Jin nodded while Lu Siyao’s face turned red. For the first time, she was embarrassed by her past deeds.

How could Gu Jin let this opportunity go? These were the few rare times when Lu Siyao was embarrassed.

"Yes. The son of the vice principal was very notorious. One day the vice principal was inspecting the classes along with his son.

The son kept on passing snide remarks about everyone’s looks. Your master was angry and sneaked out of the classroom.

When the son of the vice principal was all alone, she dragged him to a corner, by then she was already in a ghost costume.

She scared the poor kid to the point that he refused to enter the magic academy. Surprisingly, the vice principal too didn’t find anything and truly thought that a ghost had attacked his son!"

Even though Gu Jin was trying to expose Lu Siyao’s black material, she agreed with her approach.

The son of the vice principal was too rude. He dared to insult an honest teacher for being dark and called many girls fat and ugly.

He even went as far as commenting that only boys could be powerful mages while women could only stay at home.

To say he was unlikable was not an exaggeration. Even Gu Jin couldn’t bring herself to like him.

She even missed the two cuties she was raising privately.

Lu Siyao’s face turned red. Adhering to the principal, if you are not embarrassed the other person will be embarrassed, Lu Siyao raised her head proudly and asked,

"See how cool your master is! Now tell me do you want to be my disciple?"

Ying Yue’s eyes brightened,

"Yes!"

Gu Jin opposed,

"No! I don’t allow it."

Just from Lu Siayo’s tone, Gu Jin could imagine how she would lead Ying Yue’s ashtray!

A mature version of Ying Yue appeared in Gu Jin’s mind. She was leaning on a boy and caressed his cheeks with her finger.

At the same time, she used her sweet voice to say,

"Dear~ Why are you looking so gloomy? Looks like you are in need of a hug ~"

Gu Jin’s forehead turned black and she instantly shook her head.

"No!"

"What happened?" By now the master and disciple ceremony was over and Lu Siyao and Ying Yue had already completed their master and disciple ceremony.

Gu Jin held her forehead,

"Let’s leave."

If she looked at them for one more minute she might vomit blood.

"Miss Gu, won’t you stay?" God knows how long the head butler was hearing their conversation and only let his presence know when he saw that they were about to leave.

Gu Jin wasn’t surprised and nodded.

"I only want to accompany my friend, so I will leave temporarily. Once I treat her completely I will leave permanently."

The head butler’s face showed no emotion as he nodded. He only reminded her,

"If you need any help, feel free to ask."

"Sure." Gu Jin nodded.

After they left, the head butler glanced at the mansion. Just a few months before, the mansion looked so beautiful but now...

It looked empty and cold, just like before.

.......

Gu Jin’s home.

Lu Siyao, Gu Jin, and Ying Yue soon arrived at the home.

Having completed all the tasks, Gu Jin slumped on the couch and asked Lu Siyao,

"Have you informed your sponsor that you will live with me?"

Lu Siyao waved her hand,

"No need to worry about him."

Even if she died now, he wouldn’t care anyway.

Though curious, Gu Jin didn’t continue with the topic and made dinner.

After having dinner, Gu Jin asked Lu Siyao and Ying Yue to remain together with her.

Lu Siyao raised her eyebrow and ordered Ying Yue,

"Yue’s can you bring a glass of water for me?"

Ying Yue nodded and left.

Lu Siyao smirked and asked in a flirtatious tone,

"Beauty do you want me to warm your bed?"

Gu Jin: "..." This girl.

"Stop joking around." Gu Jin stood up, however, Lu Siyao suddenly held Gu Jin’s hand and asked,

"Jin’er why this request? Did you receive any news or info?"

Lu Siyao guessed.

Gu Jin hesitated, before warning,

"Something like that. You believe me, right?"

"Hmm." Lu Siyao nodded.

"That’s enough."

At night, Gu Jin didn’t sleep and started to cultivate.

However, even when the sun rose, no one came to attack.

Was she thinking too much?

The next few days passed by peacefully.

Gu Jin was dragged by Liang Bao and she asked,

"Jin’er did someone attack?"

"No." Gu Jin shakes her head.

"Um...maybe, you have guessed it wrong?" Liang Bao said with uncertainty.

Gu Jin was still feeling uneasy. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was amiss. The peaceful days felt like the calm before the storm.

"Jin’er..."

"Please believe me this once." Gu Jin requested.

In her heart, she knew, something was about to happen to Lu Siyao and she wanted to protect her. She has lost too many people. She doesn’t want to lose anyone else...

Liang Bao sighed and decided to believe Gu Jin again.

When Gu Jin returned to the classroom, she was back to her normal self.

That evening when they were returning, Gu Jin felt a stare at her back. Coincidently Lu Siyao too turned back.

Gu Jin noticed her action and asked,

"What happened?"

"Nothing...I...I think I am tired!" Lu Siyao shook her head.

"Hm? Let’s go home quickly then." Gu Jin said.

Lu Siyao nodded.

Surprisingly Gu Jin felt that stare continue to follow her till she entered the home.

Lu Siyao held her forehead as she sat on the couch.

"Siyao? Are you suffering from a headache?"

"Uh? Yes, I am feeling a bit dizzy." Lu Siyao told the truth.

"Wait! I will get medicine for you."

"Hm."

After eating dinner and taking medicine, Lu Siyao lay on the bed and fell asleep. Gu Jin felt as if something was amiss.

Just then, the doorbell rang.
