CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 293: UNRELATED INVOLVEMENT

Chapter 293

After a long moment, the person laughed, the sound chiming like silver bells. Suddenly, the silver threads seemed to come alive as they retracted into his sleeve. With a twirl of his body, the enchanting red garments spread out like blossoming red flowers accompanying his spin. The other glass of water that Sui Yi had previously placed on the table was now in his hand. He raised his hand, tilted his chin, and the water fell from mid-air... into his slightly open mouth.

Sui Yi had never seen anyone with such a carefree and unrestrained demeanor, as if the whole world was but a fleeting cloud of dust beneath his thoughts.

A Yin Yang Spiritual Body attached... Sui Yi suddenly recalled Loulan’s description of this person, and couldn’t help feeling somewhat melancholic. Even such an extraordinary character was used by Loulan as a vessel for a Spiritual Body; what kind of person was the High Priest then?

In the end, he had perished.

After laughing, the woman flicked her fingertip, "This cup is quite interesting, I wonder what material it is... here, it’s yours."

The light plastic cup spun steadily and flew back to Sui Yi, who reached out to catch it. She was just about to set it down when she suddenly noticed another glass on the table that was filled to about seventy percent.

She had poured two glasses earlier, and when she moved, she had also set hers here...

"You used mine."

"Yes, I did. Is that a problem?" The person’s eyes and brows showed no shame in his actions, as if what he did was righteous and he never allowed anyone to object.

Sui Yi pursed her lips, internally remarking that she really felt Jiang Chenyu was an exceptionally good coffin... rice dumpling.

If she were to really deal with someone like the person before her... she was afraid she would never dare to touch a coffin again on future adventures.

Sui Yi was too lazy to speak, so after organizing her belongings, she turned to leave.

It was only then that the person withdrew his gaze, "Are you leaving?"

"Naturally, this place belongs to someone else."

Sui Yi was never much for words. After speaking, she said no more, merely lowering her head to inspect her clothes, her brow furrowing. Whose clothes were these?

Just as she was about to lift the curtain with uncertainty, a gust swept over from behind. She turned around to see the person who had already reached her side.

"What are you doing?"

"I don’t stay where I’m not welcome," he raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so?" Sui Yi’s expression remained stoic.

"Wherever you go, that’s naturally where I’ll go," he declared.

"...."

What was essentially the essence of a kid calling for their dad suddenly took on the guise of an overbearingly cool, aloof demon—unique and unmatched.

Sui Yi gave him a indifferent glance, "We are but strangers meeting by chance, without fate binding us. It is better for each to go our own way."

True to her nature, even when rejecting people, she wouldn’t lose their face too much, but her rejection left no room for argument.

After speaking, she turned to lift the curtain, about to step out...

And then~~

Boom!

The entire tent was sliced to ribbons by countless Inner Strength swords... Instantaneously shredded to bits.

Then, Sui Yi just stood there, with someone standing behind her, so clearly seen by everyone present.

Zuo Wei saw their astonishment, their petrification, their stupefaction...

Not far away, Xiao Yu and Ye Changan wore expressions of shock, who was that person inside?

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon Yaofei silently observed the two people, one in front and one behind.

The one in front was the second Sui Yi—a figure they were wary of—and the one behind... who was that, who!

Sui Yi turned around, saw the other person’s right hand still hanging a strip from the torn tent, and her lips slightly curved up, her eyes glistening.

"How about now? Do we have no fate or entanglements?"

"...."

It must be said that against the backdrop of tent fragments drifting in the air—which to the average person looked spectacularly and utterly destroyed—

A figure in a white robe with a sword-side Sui Yi and the red-clad, stunning woman—or man (?)—exchanging glances...

It felt as if the scene had been Photoshopped numerous times.

It was too beautiful, too dreamlike. For the first time, Jiang Weiye, who was always parsimonious and stringent, didn’t reach for his bald head but clutched at his heart instead.

"I am shocked."

Could there really be such women AND men in the world? Women?

The main point was that both individuals carried an extraordinary natural aura—one subdued and dignifiedly cold, the other bewitchingly frivolous and unruly.

These were temperaments that ordinary people couldn’t even imagine, and they appeared before everyone in such an extraordinary fashion.

After a while, amidst people’s silent confusion, Gong Jiu had already rushed over.

Pausing deeply, she focused on Sui Yi, tentatively asking, "Are you..."

Shouldn’t she be asking who that person was?

Sui Yi knew what Gong Jiu was worried and hesitant about; it seemed her alternate personality had made a deep impression on Gong Jiu and the others... though that personality did not always appear... it had emerged before only because she had been weak.

"Sui Yi," Sui Yi stated her own name.

"Really?" Gong Jiu even questioned.

As the person behind heard this, he just laughed, causing Sui Yi to press her brow, and turn to Gong Jiu, saying faintly, "Do you still remember the ’Aunt’ in the Ancient Tomb down there?"

Aunt? Aunt Flo!

Gong Jiu’s face turned alternating shades of green and white, desperately wanting to gag Sui Yi’s mouth, and hastily replied with an embarrassed smile, "Oh, I knew it was our Sui Yi... But who is this person...?"

The moment had come; Sui Yi didn’t know how to explain this person’s identity to Gong Jiu and the others. Should she say this was a millennia-old rice dumpling from inside the tower? That he followed me all the way here?

Or...

Sui Yi looked toward the person.

She had compromised after all, having no choice but to compromise, because this person, as opposed to the vulnerable Jiang Chenyu, was powerful enough to be likened to an atomic bomb, and currently, he was probably not at his peak yet.

If he were at his peak?

A thought flashed by, and Sui Yi made up her mind. With a decision made, her demeanor became much more carefree. That was her nature after all... decisive!

"Your name," she said.

Sui Yi asked.

The person laughed, "Dongfang Bubai."

Sui Yi directly turned his face away, "Quite a unique taste,"

and walked away.

Gong Jiu gave a very insincere smile toward "Dongfang Bubai," then quickly grabbed Yaofei by the arm and whispered, "If I’m not mistaken, that’s an eunuch, right?"

"Hmm, the best-looking eunuch in the history of China," Yaofei hummed in agreement.

"So that’s why you couldn’t even blink for ten minutes? Have you no shame..."

"You knew I watched for ten minutes, does that mean you watched me for ten minutes, too? Where’s YOUR sense of shame?"

"...Fuck!"

Annoyed, Gong Jiu had no choice but to turn around and catch up with Sui Yi, while Yaofei flew toward Young Master Dongfang like a butterfly.

In fact, almost everyone’s gaze here was split into two directions, one following Sui Yi, the other following that Young Master Dongfang...

Although there was an evil air about him, it seemed... if someone was good-looking, they could be forgiven.

The biggest curiosity among the crowd was not where Sui Yi and Young Master Dongfang came from, but... were they together?

"Sui Yi, I won’t ask about that person’s background anymore, I just want to know he’s not an enemy, right?" Gong Jiu easily caught up with the deliberately waiting Sui Yi.

"He’s an enemy," she confirmed.

"Uh... then why didn’t you kill him?"

"Too strong," Sui Yi replied.

Gong Jiu covered her face. NO! How could another one show up?

"So what now?"

"Keep him," was Sui Yi’s calm and willful answer.

Please accept the kneeling of my heart, goddess.

"... Are you sure? Is he willing?"

"He insists I keep him... there’s no other way."

Why does this sound so weird?

"Such a dangerous person, you want to keep him at your place? What if he harbors ill intentions? I often stay at your place, and I’m so much weaker than him, if he really..."

"Money, I don’t lack, and as for desire... rest assured, he’s not interested," Sui Yi said, looking at Gong Jiu.

She was well aware of how attractive that person was.

".You’re bullying me again!" Gong Jiu glared, hand on her hip, and rolled her eyes, "Be serious, I’m talking about something important... if he really has betrayal on his mind~~~"

If...

Sui Yi looked up at the azure sky, glanced at it, then turned his head and smiled softly, "I’m here."

Fuck!

Gong Jiu was overwhelmed and hugged Sui Yi’s waist, ready to rub against him.

————————

Pu Qinghan did not expect that the young woman who had sparked many discussions and was feared by others would come to see her.

After the woman walked into the cool pavilion, she noticed the nearby director and producers fell silent.

"Miss Pu," she called out very politely.

It was rare these days for anyone to be addressed in such a manner, but with her appearance and demeanor, and dressed in those clothes...

It complemented her well.

Especially with such a clear and refined voice.

"It’s me," Pu Qinghan stood up, smiling politely.

As she stood, Sui Yi finally got a full view of her.

Her figure was elegant like the willow’s, but she had the clear, unadorned beauty of cool jade, somewhat secluded and cold, like a piece of jade soaked in a spring.

She was starkly different from the mundane worldliness that most people around exuded. Although she also had a worldly air about her, it was more detached and ascetic, making her seem intellectual.

Are all stars this dazzling?

"I’m Sui Yi, I appreciate the clothes you lent me before," she said.

"Don’t mention it..." Pu Qinghan glanced at Gong Jiu behind Sui Yi and thought to herself that she hadn’t given them willingly... But Sui Yi? What an odd name.

And to make someone as proud and domineering as her obediently stand by, she must be someone of no ordinary status indeed, yet so courteous in her interaction.

Yet so aloof to the core.

"I’m afraid I will have to wear this outfit back... it seems inappropriate to send it back, so how about I give some compensation?" Sui Yi made known her intention.

She has always disliked owing people favors, even if it was Gong Jiu who intervened.

Pu Qinghan naturally didn’t like wearing clothes that others had worn, but having been an actress for a long time, she wasn’t bothered by such things. Hearing this, she was about to say it was no issue when she saw a glance from Gong Jiu cross her way.

And then she understood.

The focus wasn’t on whether she minded or not, but that someone like Sui Yi wouldn’t casually give away clothes she had worn.

If not driven by circumstances, she likely wouldn’t want to wear clothes others had worn either.

Feeling slightly uncomfortable inside, Pu Qinghan smiled, "No need, Miss Gong has already provided compensation."

"The clothes are on me," Sui Yi simply said, then turned and walked away with Gong Jiu.

Such a person... was about to leave.

Two groups of helicopters departed together, Xiao Yu and others said farewell to Sui Yi.

They didn’t bring up anything else, just said their goodbyes.

As they boarded the helicopter, Ye Changan smiled at Sui Yi, "I think you’re not very old, Sui Yi; I don’t know which university you’re attending, but I’ll choose that school in the future so I can find you."
