CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 294: AMNESIA OR NOT?

Chapter 294

Her straightforwardness brought a smile to Sui Yi’s face, "Aren’t you afraid that the school I choose won’t be good?"

"Would you choose a bad one?" Ye Changan countered.

"What if I haven’t chosen yet?" The words of Sui Yi took Xiao Yu and Professor Ye by surprise.

All eyes turned to her in unison.

Sui Yi smiled, "Senior year... there are still a few months left until college entrance exams."

The farewell ended amidst Xiao Yu’s speechless expression and Professor Ye’s hearty laughter.

Sui Yi and the others boarded the helicopter.

But the problem was...

Sui Yi and Gong Jiu were on one helicopter—originally there should have been Flower Demon as well... of course, the pilot was just for show.

But they ended up taking Young Master Dongfang with them.

"I seem to be a bit worried for Young Master Dongfang’s safety now..." Gong Jiu felt a bit guilty about his previous concerns.

"As long as our own people are not at a loss, it’s fine," Sui Yi said calmly, suggesting that Miss Hua had actually made a profit?

As for Young Master Dongfang’s amnesia, Gong Jiu was very composed—no problem, there had been a Jiang Chenyu before, and having a Dongfang Bubai now was not too much trouble.

It was just as Sui Yi said... This person’s taste was quite unique, of all the possible pseudonyms, he had to choose Dongfang Bubai...

Ximen Chuixue wouldn’t do?

While Gong Jiu was grumbling and calculating how his group had emerged completely victorious without a single loss...

Sui Yi suddenly said, "Gong Jiu, after you return to the Provincial City, help me extend my leave from school... if Lin Yun does it, I’m afraid he might not carry enough weight."

The leave she had taken was only for a few days, and now with the Public Trading Conference taking up four to five days, plus the three to four days in the desert, it was almost ten days in total. She had already exceeded the leave period from school, not to mention she had to extend it.

Although Lin Yun had the capital of Sui Tang Square under his control, after all, it was not enough to negotiate with the financial tycoons gathered at Yunfeng High School.

They lacked the background.

"Alright... it’s good to rest a bit after returning, this was filled with danger and I feel quite tired," Gong Jiu mainly felt this way because he felt his own strength was inadequate, and for someone as competitive as him, being consistently suppressed by Wei Feng and others was really frustrating.

"No, I’ll be staying in Urumqi for a while," Sui Yi added.

"Eh?" Gong Jiu was surprised.

But then he saw Sui Yi take four notebooks out of her backpack.

"These four secret manuals are what I’ve acquired, you and Flower Demon can study them together," Sui Yi suggested.

The fifth one... Sui Yi figured Gong Jiu and Flower Demon would definitely not be interested.

Secret manuals, the word alone made Gong Jiu’s eyes light up. He took them with shining eyes, his expression overflowing with joy, "This..."

He could hardly believe it.

He had thought those five boxes were the biggest haul, but now it seemed... they were nothing compared to these four secret manuals.

However...

"If you’re going straight to Urumqi, you haven’t studied them yet. After you return, you can give them to us," Gong Jiu promptly offered the secret manuals back.

"How long does it take to fly from here to Urumqi?" Sui Yi asked instead.

"About half an hour," (Not sure, so let’s go with that).

"That’s enough," Sui Yi said.

Did she mean that half an hour in-flight would be enough to memorize all the secret manuals?

Gong Jiu understood in a second, then silently scratched at the window, whining.

The gap was too big; he felt he wasn’t even qualified to be a lackey.

————————

In Urumqi, Sui Yi was left behind—as were Mr. Dongfang and Zhang Wei. The former was too lethal and had to stay with Sui Yi to ensure safety, while the latter was purely technical talent who could also get things done. Gong Jiu had specifically asked him to stay and help Sui Yi.

In her words, it was—Why should our Sui Yi, such a person, run errands for minor things... Zhang Wei, I give you a sacred mission, to protect Athena. Will you go or not?

Zhang Wei’s answer was very simple—Yeah.

And then... the three of them were left in Urumqi.

Although Dongfang Bubai and Jiang Chenyu were utterly different people, they still had one thing in common—that was an absolute sense of superiority.

Regarding the modernized technological society of today, Sui Yi thought that any person from ancient times should be shocked and in disbelief, but Jiang Chenyu was indifferent and simply adapted, while Dongfang Bubai...

"That strange bird in the sky is indeed interesting, a bit more impressive than levitating and leaping, but after all, it’s just an external object... People, however, are becoming weaker," Dongfang Bubai spoke with a flash of reflection in Zhang Wei’s eyes, while Sui Yi looked at him, "It seems your memory loss isn’t severe."

He obviously remembered some things from the past, otherwise, he wouldn’t exhibit such strong superiority.

Sui Yi suddenly remembered the ancient and incredibly powerful world.

Leaping into the air... it seemed this person was not entirely unfamiliar with it.

The strength of a person is what is truly powerful.

The world nowadays... indeed, has its priorities backwards.

"I tell the truth, yet you choose not to believe. Let’s just assume I have amnesia..." Dongfang Bubai gave Sui Yi a glance, then turned, "You mentioned Loulan before, so I do remember someone by that name who has spoken to me."

"As time flows, the heavens and earth decline, when the degeneration reaches its limit... the original state will return."

This was the most valuable thing Dongfang Bubai had said to Sui Yi so far.

Upon hearing this, Sui Yi raised an eyebrow and flicked his sleeve, "Let’s go."

————————

Sui Yi didn’t mention why she wanted to stay in Urumqi, and since Gong Jiu and the others had always known her to have her own ideas, they didn’t ask any further, especially since they indeed had many matters to attend to.

The items in those five boxes needed to be dealt with, their own accumulated affairs required resolution, and the raw materials under Miss Sui’s command at Sui Tang Square were still with them, which also needed to be handled together with Lin Yun... in short, they were swamped with various matters, not to mention the four secret manuals given by Miss Sui made them stretched too thin to be concerned about her.

And that very day, Sui Yi purchased a serene property in Urumqi; compared to the gold-priced estates in Provincial City, houses here were ridiculously cheap. A villa on the outskirts of the city zone cost merely around thirty million, and that too fully furnished. Sui Yi’s requirements weren’t high, as long as the place was liveable and quiet.

So Sui Yi bought it on the spot.

After entering, Sui Yi said to Zhang Wei and the others, "We need to stay here for a while. Zhang Wei, our luggage has been moved here, and as for Dongfang..."

Sui Yi looked at Dongfang Bubai’s attire, "Dressing this way is somewhat inappropriate; I will help you acquire some clothes, how about that?"

Dongfang Bubai, who was already lounging lazily on the sofa, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Excellent."

Zhang Wei couldn’t help but glance at him again, not knowing whether he found the man’s looks too good or found his conversation with Sui Yi rather unusual.

But soon, he withdrew his gaze and looked towards Sui Yi.

As their eyes met, Sui Yi felt a skip in his heart.

"Come with me."

————————

Inside the study, Zhang Wei stood there, listening to Sui Yi speak.

"Zhang Wei, do you know the origin of this person?"

Zhang Wei looked up at Sui Yi who was leaning against the desk.

"Miss Sui is very perceptive."

"It’s because you didn’t hide it."

Zhang Wei slightly curled his lips and said, "At that time I was ambushing another side but was threatened by Anayi with venomous snakes, so I had to leave my position and hide."

He paused, then added, "I hid inside the tower."

"Inside the tower?" Sui Yi was surprised.

"Yes, I saw Anayi enter the tower from a distance and followed her in. It just happened that you were fighting with that giant serpent at the time, so you didn’t see me."

"After entering the tower, I was no match for Anayi, so I just hid on the first floor of the tower. I’m not very clear about what happened outside afterward; I only know the tower submerged under water, and I ran upwards... Upon reaching below the top floor, though, I couldn’t find the mechanism to go up."

"The first floor and the top floor were sealed?" Sui Yi was surprised.

"Yes, Anayi could go up, so she must have activated some mechanism. I couldn’t find it at the time, couldn’t get to the top floor, and had to leave the tower to avoid drowning... However, after leaving the tower, I didn’t follow Gong Jiu and others to that sinkhole."

"Why not?"

Zhang Wei’s fingers touched his gun, and he glanced at Sui Yi, "Through the opening of the top floor, I saw you and also the monster with the coffin. I wasn’t powerful enough to confront them and was afraid that any sudden moves might provoke it to attack you, so I hid without making a sound. Fortunately, it left the tower on its own and went into the cave... but you seemed in a strange state and I didn’t dare to disturb you, so I hid in one of the sinkholes. Later, after you left... I thought of following..."

Zhang Wei’s face grew a bit odd, as if recalling that scene.

Sui Yi finished for him, "And then you saw the coffin open by itself, and a person emerge..." "Yes."

That person was now sitting in the living room.

Ordinary people would find such an event truly astonishing, while Sui Yi suspected Zhang Wei must have been extremely shocked when he saw Dongfang Bubai on the film set.

"This person is too dangerous. I followed him all the way and quickly lost track of him, so I could only search through the caves... later, I met up with you." Zhang Wei was quite independent, different from Han Gao and Feng Sha and the others.

After perceiving threats like Dongfang Bubai and that monster, his first reaction wasn’t to flee, but to tail them and keep this unpredictable danger within a certain limit, so at least when they encountered Gong Jiu and others, he could warn them.

After hearing this, Sui Yi looked over Zhang Wei, "Are you a retired soldier?"

"Yes," replied Zhang Wei, showing no surprise at Sui Yi’s deduction.

"You’re very skilled. No wonder Gong Jiu trusts you so much." Zhang Wei was the one most frequently assigned for independent missions by Gong Jiu, more trusted than Brother Ma and the others, yet he was the most low-profile and unnoticeable one amongst them.

In fact, Sui Yi was initially surprised to meet Zhang Wei in the tunnels after the water rush, but now it all made sense, however...

"You don’t need to concern yourself with this man for now... but in the meantime, I will need your help," Sui Yi said slowly.

"I understand."

While they spoke, the doorbell rang outside; their luggage had arrived.

In the desert, they were all quite dishevelled; comparatively, Mr. Dongfang was the cleanest.

After receiving the luggage, Sui Yi immediately contacted a brand store staff with his phone and ordered several sets of clothes...

The customer is king, and the valuable clothes were soon delivered. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
