Chapter 161: The Peerless Black Widow (3)

At least she was not all-capable. She did not even know he could dual cultivate. Her knowledge of him had stopped more than half a month ago.

"Senior seems very concerned about Yingying." Once his mood loosened, Wang Yue was a good deal more at ease.

"You still haven’t told me what your relationship with Yingying actually is." The woman would not let it go.

"Yingying’s own sister, Li Menglan, is my personal maid." Wang Yue said it as it was. Nothing to hide.

"So there’s this tie." The woman nodded, understanding. "Looks like the Li family’s trouble was also settled by you stepping out."

"Senior knows about that?" Wang Yue asked.

The woman nodded. "Of course. If you had acted one day later, the Crocodile Gang would already have no one alive."

When she said it, her expression was very calm, as if the several hundred people of the Crocodile Gang were only several hundred ants, not worth her eye. Even if she killed them, there would be no ripple of mood.

That made Wang Yue feel this woman was even less simple. He asked, "May I ask Senior’s honorable name? And why so concerned about Yingying?"

"You can call me Yu Yan." The woman said, "As for Yingying, since you have this tie, telling you is fine. I took a liking to this child’s character. I want to take her as a disciple and pass this body of skill down."

"That would be a great fortune for Yingying." Wang Yue smiled.

"Right." Yu Yan was not modest at all. She nodded. "As long as she can learn with me, even if her talent is not yours, I can guarantee she surpasses you within a year. So I hope you don’t face her with a martial artist’s sense of superiority, and don’t harbor improper thoughts. Her future achievement will be far above your Three Great Families of Golden Mountain City."

Wang Yue stalled. This woman’s tone was not ordinarily large!

Tempered by the countless years of his previous life, Wang Yue did not have the pride ordinary youths basically all had. His edge was not lacking at all. He smiled at once. "What Senior says, this junior will remember. Feeling, though, has never been something a person controls. If one day Yingying’s heart moves for me, I have no way either, do I?"

"Don’t worry. That will never happen." Yu Yan waved, very confident. "You can go."

"This junior takes his leave." Wang Yue stood, cupped his hands, and turned toward the outside.

"Remember. Today’s talk must not be known by a third person. Yingying learning martial arts with me must not be told to anyone either. Otherwise it may harm her, and it may very well drag in your Three Great Families of Golden Mountain City." Yu Yan’s voice came from behind.

Wang Yue stopped, nodded, and kept walking out.

He was very curious what identity this Yu Yan actually had. Even if he asked, the other side would not tell him. He did not want to waste the effort.

Back in the restaurant outside, Wang Yue did not leave. He found a place, sat, and started working through martial techniques with his eyes closed.

Pity that with Yu Yan’s appearance, his heart was hard to truly settle. A morning passed, and he still could not enter enlightenment.

...

Li Yingying’s state today was very bad. She tried to focus. Almost nothing from several classes in the morning went in.

She had not slept well all last night.

The moment she closed her eyes, her mind was Wang Yue’s face, almost more handsome than a woman’s, and her body kept tasting those few minutes on the bus.

Desire, for a girl, was a double-edged sword.

If she already had a good feeling for you, and you could stir her desire, even give her satisfaction, her feeling for you would heat at speed.

If she had no good feeling for you, teasing at random only drew dislike, and you lost the chance to win her completely.

Li Yingying was the former. She already had no small good feeling for Wang Yue. After that stretch on the bus yesterday, the little sprout of feeling she had hidden in her heart had grown past control into a tree that filled the sky and occupied her whole heart.

The more it was so, the more she feared gain and loss. She knew how large the gap between her and Wang Yue was. Even wanting to follow him without a name would probably not be easy.

She even envied her sister badly. If she could also become his personal maid, how good that would be!

She was muddled all morning. The moment the noon break started, she still rushed to the restaurant at top speed.

Toward the boss here, Yu Yan, she was grateful from the heart. This elder sister, beautiful enough that a person did not dare look straight, had not only given her a work-study post. She was also very good to her.

Li Yingying was like her mother, someone who knew gratitude. So when she worked at the restaurant she worked hard, and would not delay half a moment.

She was the first to reach the restaurant. The first thing she saw was Wang Yue sitting inside, smiling at her.

In that moment Li Yingying was overjoyed past hope.

Yesterday Wang Yue had said he would come find her again. She had been full of expectation, and had felt she was thinking too much. What status did he have. How could he waste too much time on a little girl like her?

She had not thought he had really come, and from the look of it had already waited here no short time.

In wild joy Li Yingying could not help striding toward Wang Yue. After a few steps she could not help remembering that scene on the bus yesterday.

Strong shame slowed her steps at once. She almost stopped.

Wang Yue stood, walked a few steps to Li Yingying, and said with a smile, "Yingying."

"You... why did you come?" Li Yingying asked, pretty face red.

"I came to find you. Didn’t I say so yesterday?" Wang Yue said.

Hearing him bring up yesterday, Li Yingying’s heart went chaotic to the limit. She blurted, "Don’t bring up yesterday."

"Are you still angry about that? I really didn’t mean to." Wang Yue said, face sincere.

"No... I’m not angry. I just... I just..." Li Yingying "just" for a long while before she finally said, "I just don’t know how to face you. Wang Yue, please give me some time, all right?"

Time?

Wang Yue paused. He knew Li Yingying had probably misunderstood something. Telling her the truth directly might hit her hard.

He also had some good feeling for Li Yingying. Letting this beautiful misunderstanding continue, and finally become fact, was not bad either.

So he did not puncture it. He nodded. "All right. I’ll wait for you."

"Mm. Then go. I have to work." Seeing more students coming in to eat, Li Yingying said it in a fluster.

Wang Yue had meant to eat lunch here. Since Li Yingying wanted to "drive" him off, he could only go along. A shy girl was sometimes very frightening.
