Chapter 216: Chapter 216

"How did you get up here?" Hua Xiaomo looked at him, her gaze flickering. Instinctively, she glanced towards her bedroom door, which was securely shut.

"Through the window!" Zi Yunsui responded nonchalantly, walking closer to her with a cup in hand. "Master asked me to tell you not to look for him for the time being. If you need anything, just find me."

"Find you?" Hua Xiaomo laughed, looking at the seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy. "Are you really Xia Shuangming’s apprentice?"

"Yes! I am his apprentice!" Zi Yunsui said, taking a sip from his cup.

Looking at him, Hua Xiaomo frowned. "If you came specifically to tell me this, then you can leave now."

Zi Yunsui looked at her and said, "Master asked me to ask you, what have you decided about it?"

"..." Hua Xiaomo laughed again, looking at the boy, a thought flickering in her mind. Was it reliable to give him the five million card at this time?

"Where is Xia Shuangming?" Hua Xiaomo asked directly. Never mind, it’s better if I hand it over to him in person.

"I told you, he can’t see you for now. If you need anything, you can come directly to me, or if you have a message, I’ll pass it on to him," Zi Yunsui said.

Hua Xiaomo looked away. "If I have something to say to him, why should I tell you?" With that, Hua Xiaomo quickly took out her phone, but before she could dial, Zi Yunsui spoke.

"He changed his number; you don’t need to call," Zi Yunsui stated. He then paced a few steps in her room, a dark glint in his sidelong glance. "You... you’re pretty skilled. Not even all those Super Marios could take you down. You’re like an unkillable cockroach!"

"You know about that?" Hua Xiaomo looked at him suspiciously, her expression hardened. Damn it, could Xia Shuangming have sent this kid to watch her?

"Master cares about you, so he sent me to look after you," Zi Yunsui said, then picked up the pitcher again to pour himself a full cup of water. He continued drinking as he spoke, "Actually, that day at the Emma Show Field, do you know why you were able to defeat so many skilled Super Marios?"

"What nonsense are you trying to tell me?" Hua Xiaomo’s eyes narrowed.

"Hehe, let me tell you the truth. I injected a hormone into the water they drank. It’s a hormone that only provides an explosive burst of power for five minutes. After those five minutes, their bodies rapidly lose strength. So, to put it bluntly, if you could hold out for five minutes in each match, victory was guaranteed to be yours!"

Zi Yunsui spoke slowly, his dark eyes sparkling in the silent night.

"..." Hua Xiaomo remained silent for a long time. Thinking back, it was true. Every Ma Li seemed to lose steam after five minutes.

After a while, Hua Xiaomo raised her head to look at him. "Why did you do that? Or, to put it differently, what’s in it for you?"

"Don’t you understand?" Zi Yunsui looked at her, his eyes reflecting her silhouette. "Why would I do such a thing? I have absolutely no connection with you, other than through Master. So, you can probably guess, can’t you?"

"It was Xia Shuangming... he asked you to do this, didn’t he?" Hua Xiaomo looked at him, suddenly seeming to comprehend something.

"Of course. Master is always the kindest," Zi Yunsui spoke indifferently, his handsome face showing little emotion.

Dressed in a white Tang suit, he looked exceptionally unconventional. Combined with his purple hair, he couldn’t have been more conspicuous, exactly like a cosplay character from an anime.

Yet, such a person possessed exceptional skills, capable of appearing and disappearing like a ghost in the night.

Hua Xiaomo took a while before speaking. "He wants me to marry him, doesn’t he? So why do this? Isn’t it a contradiction?" Her words carried a hint of barely noticeable sarcasm.

Yes, as long as she defeated one Super Mario after another, she would get those five million, or even more money, and then she could leave him.

"Do you think Master would want you to die in the ring, Hua Xiaomo?" Zi Yunsui looked at her, slowly approaching, and suddenly reached out a hand towards her.

Hua Xiaomo instantly stepped back vigilantly. "What do you want?"

"Don’t be nervous. Master asked me to take good care of you, so naturally, I can’t let any harm come to you. But, before I could take you away, someone beat me to it?" Zi Yunsui said indifferently.

After a pause, he continued, "But it doesn’t matter. As long as you marry Master, the three of us can be together forever, right?"

"Hah... I’m afraid I won’t be doing any more of that sneaky business. And please, go back and tell Xia Shuangming that I have the money ready. He can come and get it from me himself." Hua Xiaomo said and then turned around, her back to him. "Please leave the way you came in. It’s late, and I won’t see you out."

Zi Yunsui looked at her determined demeanor and let out a cold snort. "Fine, I will report your words to Master, word for word."

Soon, Zi Yunsui headed towards the door, just as he was about to open it.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door. "Xiao Mo!!" It was Hua Xiaomo’s mother, Su Ronghua.

Hua Xiaomo was taken aback. Zi Yunsui was also stunned. For a moment, his hand hesitated on the doorknob.

"Hey, why do you insist on leaving through the door?" Hua Xiaomo watched as Zi Yunsui reached for the door. This was terrible!

In the middle of the night, what would it look like for a man to be in her room? Even if she said nothing was going on, who would believe it? This would directly ruin her reputation, wouldn’t it?

But she saw the doorknob was already starting to turn.

Zi Yunsui realized it was too late to go out the window now. His gaze quickly fell on the bed not far away. There was no other option; if he could hide, he had to.

Without waiting for Hua Xiaomo to say more, Zi Yunsui quickly and nimbly slipped under the bed.

Hua Xiaomo, seeing him crawl under her bed, cried out anxiously, "Hey, come out of there! How can you hide here?" For more chapters visıt 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Xiao Mo, you’re not asleep yet?" Her mother, Su Ronghua, called out again from outside.

"I... I was just about to sleep... Mom, what is it?" Hua Xiaomo had to respond.

"I have something to tell you. Why don’t I come in and tell you," Su Ronghua said, already turning the lock.

In that instant, Hua Xiaomo leaped onto the bed with lightning speed, her amber eyes glinting.

Fortunately, the light was dim, and Zi Yunsui, who was quite thin, wasn’t too conspicuous hiding under the covers.

However, he didn’t even dare to let out a loud breath.

I wonder why Mom is outside, and what she’s thinking. If she found out there was a man in my room... what would she think? Goodness, right now, I really don’t want her to know he’s in here. That would be incredibly troublesome. Besides, he wouldn’t be able to explain this to his Master.
