Chapter 63: Leaving
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The man in black came to the roof of Song Yiren’s room and gently lifted a tile to peer inside. Seeing that there was no one in the room, the man in black frowned and gently placed the tile back to its original position. Then, he turned around and jumped off the roof to run away.
The wilderness was silent except for the rustling of leaves and the soft chirping of a few unknown insects.
The man in black suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Su Jinyue, who was blocking his way, with a vigilant expression. “Who are you?” The other party was able to follow him without being discovered by him, which showed that her ability was not weaker than his, How can there be such a
powerful person in a small mountain village?
“What’s your relationship with Song Yiren?” Su Jinyue looked at the man in black coldly. This man in black is dressed like the man in black who died last time. They should be from the same organization. What kind of organization is Song Yiren from?
“What does this have to do with you?” The man in black smiled coldly. With a wave of his hand, a silver light flashed and a dart shot towards Su Jinyue at lightning speed. His ability to shoot darts was one of the best in the sect. He believed that the other party would not be able to dodge it.
Su Jinyue had already noticed the dart hidden in the man’s hand. She turned slightly and shot the silver needle in her hand at the man.
“You…” The man in black was pierced by the silver needle. He looked at the dart nailed to the tree behind Su Jinyue in disbelief. She actually dodged his dart. The other party was so young, yet her ability was so impressive. Could the disappearance of his companion be related to her?
Su Jinyue took two steps forward and looked at the man in black coldly. “If you don’t tell me, you’ll have cramps all over your body every five minutes, and it’ll hurt more each time.” She wouldn’t kill him, but she could use what she had learned to make his life a living hell.
“Don’t even think about it!” A look of determination flashed across the man in black’s eyes. He gritted his teeth hard, and the poison hidden in his teeth immediately poured out in his mouth. A trickle of black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and he died instantly. He had been ordered to
search news of his companions, but he didn’t expect that he would lose his life along with his companions.
Su Jinyue knocked her head in frustration. How could I have forgotten that the man in black has poison in his mouth? Yihan had told her before that the man in black had bitten the poison in his mouth and consumed it. She had actually forgotten about it.
Looking at the corpse of the man in black, Su Jinyue frowned with a conflicted expression. She had to get rid of this corpse. Otherwise, if the villagers saw it tomorrow, they would definitely be frightened. However, she really had no experience in doing such things. Moreover, she was a woman after all, so
she was still a little afraid of corpses.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jinyue stepped forward and gritted her teeth. She reached out to pick up the corpse of the man in black and ran up the mountain. With her current strength, it did not take much effort to pick up a person.
By the time Su Jinyue retuned home, it was almost daybreak.
After changing into a fresh set of clothes, she washed up briefly and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After leaving today, she didn’t know when would be the next time that she could cook for her Teacher again in the future. Also, she had to get Yihan to move Song Yiren away as soon as possible.
Since that organization had come to find her, they might be able to rescue her.
“Jinyue.”
“Huh?” Su Jinyue snapped out of her faze and turned around. She saw Xu Tiansheng standing behind her. “Teacher.”
“What are you thinking about? Why are you lost in thought?” Xu Tiansheng asked. He had called her several times before she heard him.
Su Jinyue smiled, “Teacher, go sit in the main room. Breakfast will be ready soon.” Although her Teacher didn’t mention Song Yiren, she knew that her Teacher cared a lot about her. Otherwise, her Teacher wouldn’t often sigh at night.
“Okay!” Xu Tiansheng nodded and walked out.
$u Jinyue opened the lid and looked at the porridge in the pot. She heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it’s not burnt, She did not know how long she had been in a daze. If not for her Teacher coming in, breakfast would have been ruined.
She scooped the breakfast and placed it on the table. She saw Xu Tiansheng looking outside with a gloomy expression. “Teacher, it’s time for breakfast.” She knew that her Teacher must be feeling terrible right now.
Xu Tiansheng sniffed and turned around with a smile. “Okay.” He still couldn’t bear to part with her.
Seeing Xu Tiansheng like this, Su Jinyue felt her heart ache. She held back the tears that were about to fall. “Teacher, this is your favorite stir-fried pickled vegetables. I added some shredded meat. It’s delicious. Try it.”
“Okay!” Xu Tiansheng nodded and picked up a piece of pickled vegetables with his chopsticks. “Delicious! Delicious!”
Su Jinyue turned around and wiped away her tears. She put a bright smile on her face and looked at Xu Tiansheng, “Teacher, eat more if you like it.”
“Jinyue.” Fang Zhihong walked in and handed a small bag of things to Su Jinyue. “I don’t have anything good to give you. Take these two books with you. You can read them when you’re bored on the road. I’ve bought the train ticket for you and placed it in the book.”
“Thank you!” Su Jinyue took the books from Fang Zhihong’s hands. “Zhihong, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Teacher in the future.” She was still very assured about Fang Zhihong.
Fang Zhihong smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Uncle Xu. Isn’t the phone going to be installed soon? If anything happens, I’l call you immediately.”
Su Jinyue smiled gratefully. “Quick, sit down and eat breakfast. I cooked your favorite hard-boiled egg today.”
“That’s great. In that case, I have to eat more.” Fang Zhihong smiled and sat down.
Although they really wanted time to pass more slowly, the time to part still arrived very quickly.
People came and went in the train station. It was very noisy. Most of them were carrying many big and small bags. Some were in a hurry, while others were sitting on chairs waiting for the train to arrive.
When he heard the announcement that the train was about to leave, Xu Tiansheng urged Su Jinyue, “Hurry up and leave. The train is about to move off.” Even if he couldn’t bear to let her leave, he had to. His child had grown up and would eventually have her own life.
Su Jinyue nodded and hugged Xu Tiansheng, “Teacher, I’m leaving, Take care of yourself. Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay!” Xu Tiansheng pursed his lips tightly and held back his tears.
Su Jinyue let go of Xu Tiansheng and tured around to walk towards her carriage. The moment she turned around, the tears that she had held back for a long time finally fell uncontrollably. She did not dare to turn back as she was afraid that if she did, she would not be able to bear to leave her Teacher.
After entering the carriage, Su Jinyue stopped in her tracks. When she heard the sound of the train door closing behind her, Su Jinyue finally couldn’t help but tum around and look at Xu Tiansheng, who was still standing there. “Teacher!” She cried as she looked at Xu Tiansheng outside the carriage.
Xu Tiansheng’s eyes were red as he waved at Su Jinyue.
The whistle sounded and the train started moving.
Su Jinyue leaned against the window and looked at Xu Tiansheng who was getting further and further away. She could not control her tears.. Teacher, take care!
