Chapter 14: The Roommate's Surprise

When Lingyun returned to the hotel with Luo Yexi, Huang Luo and the others had just woken up.

"Hey, I say, Old Fourth, how come you went out so early in the morning? Today is the first day of the October holiday, even if you wanted to watch the sunrise, you didn't have to go on the very first day," Han Yu said as he walked out of the room, rubbing his eyes and stretching his back.

"It's my first time at Mount Tai, so it's hard not to be a little excited; it's understandable to wake up early, right!" Lingyun smiled to cover it up. Would he tell them that he went out so early just to bring Luo Yexi out from the Cloud Realm?

"Hmm? No, wait, Old Fourth, who is this beauty behind you?" Han Yu suddenly widened his eyes, his gaze landing on Luo Yexi.

"Hello, I am Master's disciple, my name is Luo Yexi," Luo Yexi, who was following behind Lingyun, greeted Han Yu very politely. After concluding the Eternal Contract with Lingyun, Luo Yexi had been infused with a great deal of information regarding Earth, so she was not very unfamiliar with this world.

"H-hello," Han Yu responded somewhat sluggishly, while simultaneously turning his head to check his appearance in the mirror. When he saw his own disheveled look from just having woken up, he couldn't help but let out a miserable shriek, then dove straight back into his room and shut the door tightly.

"Heeheeheehee, Master, this roommate of yours is really interesting!" Luo Yexi looked at the closed door and said to Lingyun with a smile.

"That's just because he saw a beauty like you and was afraid of making a fool of himself in front of you!" Lingyun replied. "Alright, let's head to where we're eating first. I estimate they will be here very soon."

After waiting at the dining table for a while, Huang Luo and the other two appeared before them. However, looking at them, they had all clearly dressed up carefully, appearing before Lingyun and the other with their best image.

After the three sat down, their gazes couldn't help but keep drifting toward Luo Yexi. After all, there were very few girls in the Computer Science department, and even fewer who could be ranked at the Goddess level. And Luo Yexi, who appeared before them, although she still looked very young, already possessed a hint of a Goddess's demeanor.

"Cough, cough, Old Fourth, you got up so early today, surely it wasn't to pick up this great beauty? Aren't you going to introduce her to us brothers?" Huang Luo said with a straight face.

"Do you really want me to introduce her? Aren't you afraid your fragile little hearts will be dealt a blow?" Lingyun revealed a half-smiling expression.

Liu Feng patted his chest hard and said loudly, "Don't worry, you have to know, my heart is very strong, I'm not afraid of any blows!"

As for Han Yu, from the very beginning, he didn't dare look directly at Luo Yexi, seemingly still in a state of shyness because his embarrassing moment had been seen by her.

"Alright, let me introduce her. This is my disciple, Luo Yexi!" Lingyun smiled.

"Dis, disciple?" Huang Luo almost spat out the soy milk he was halfway through drinking. "I say, Old Fourth, you aren't joking, are you? Such a beautiful girl is your disciple?"

"That's right, she is indeed my disciple. Isn't that so, Ye Xi?" Lingyun glanced at Luo Yexi.

"Yes, I am indeed Master's disciple," Luo Yexi nodded.

"No way!" Liu Feng's eyeballs were almost flying out of their sockets. When he first saw Luo Yexi, he thought she was some relative of Lingyun's, but it turned out she was actually Lingyun's disciple; it was truly beyond his expectations.

"Cough, cough, well, Old Fourth, how did such a beautiful girl become your disciple?" Huang Luo asked with a gossipy face.

"Master is my guqin teacher," before Lingyun could speak, Luo Yexi spoke up a step ahead.

"Guqin?" Huang Luo and the other two looked at Lingyun with blank expressions. "Old Fourth, since when did you know the guqin?"

"You didn't ask, so naturally I didn't say," Lingyun lightly brushed the matter aside.

At the same time, in another hotel on Mount Tai.

After Su Wanyue was brought back to the hotel by the middle-aged man and his group, she woke up not long after. Seeing Su Wanyue wake up, the middle-aged man and his group also breathed a sigh of relief. This young lady's status was not ordinary; if anything happened to her, none of them could bear the consequences.

Just as they wanted to say something, the room door was suddenly pushed open, and a girl rushed in quickly and hugged Su Wanyue. Seeing this scene, the people present all walked out quietly.

"Thank goodness, Wanyue, you're alright. If something had really happened to you, I truly wouldn't know how to answer to your father," the girl's voice was filled with self-reproach, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Alright, alright, Chen Jing, I'm already fine. This matter isn't entirely your fault; I also have a certain responsibility," Su Wanyue gently patted the girl's back.

Chen Jing let go of her hands, her expression turning stern: "Wanyue, why did that group of bastards know your itinerary this time, and even managed to avoid the security personnel? You know, your itinerary has always been confidential."

Su Wanyue sighed: "To be able to seize this timing to make a move on me, and also be able to know my itinerary, why do you think that is? This matter, you and I should both know clearly."

"Those damn bastards, if it weren't for the lack of sufficient evidence, I would have thrown them all into the Tiger Prison!" Cold light shot from Chen Jing's eyes.

"Since they chose to make a move, they certainly wouldn't leave behind any traces. I think those little bastards must have come prepared this time. They were able to arrange everything in such a short time; the matter is likely not that simple!" Su Wanyue said in a low voice.

"You don't need to worry about this. I heard from Captain Yan that the Dragon Group has already intervened in the investigation. Those little bastards won't be able to stir up any more trouble. By the way, who exactly was the person who saved you this time? I heard their strength reached the Mysterious Tier Peak. Who could they be?" Chen Jing asked.

"I don't know either. I had already fainted at the time, but one thing is certain: the person who saved me was female, and she wasn't old, at most no more than thirty years old!" Su Wanyue said.

"Female, and no more than thirty?" Chen Jing frowned slightly. "In today's Dark World, are there still such young experts? Also, why did the other party save you?"

"This, I don't know either," Su Wanyue shook her head.

"Forget it, let the Dragon Group handle the investigation of this matter. The most important thing now is to return to Beijing first; it's no longer safe here. I've already prepared the plane," Chen Jing said.

"Mm, let's go," the two left together.

In a civilian house at the foot of Mount Tai, a young man was flying into a rage at the person in front of him: "Didn't you say everything had been arranged? How could such a big slip-up occur? I waited so long, finally waiting for the moment when the power in her body began to transform and her strength was completely gone. I thought I could eliminate this stumbling block in one fell swoop, but what happened? She still escaped! Now that we try to move against her again, she must already be on guard. We've wasted such a great opportunity just like that! Tell me, what use are you to me?"

"Young Master, this matter is not our fault! I have already received news that an unknown expert made a move this time. That person's strength reached the Mysterious Tier Peak directly; those men had no power to resist and were wiped out instantly!" the person standing in front of the man said.

"Mysterious Tier Peak? What a grand gesture. Do you know the background of this Mysterious Tier Peak person?" the man asked with a frown.

"I don't know. Our informants haven't received any news, as if that person saving Su Wanyue was just a coincidence."

"A coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences? The old man hides deep enough; no wonder he was so at ease letting Su Wanyue go out alone! By the way, you didn't leave behind any handles, did you?" the man asked.

"Young Master, don't worry. I have cleared away all evidence and traces completely; no clues were left behind."

"Is that so? You go down first. This opportunity has been missed, and those people will definitely tighten their defenses. We have no more chances! Let's leave this place first!"

"Yes!"
