"Could it be..."
Lian Tianning immediately revealed an expression that looked like he was about to cry——
"Could it be that my future master wants to go back on his word? He suddenly doesn't want to accept me as his disciple, so he's starting to find excuses to brush me off?"
Lian Tianning was probably afraid of embarrassment and tried hard not to cry, but tears kept dripping down his eyes.
"Uh... this... how is this possible?" Chu Shangli laughed bitterly and pressed his shoulder: "Do you really want to be my disciple? You are obviously older than me..."
"But—I'm a loser... I can't change this fact no matter what—I'm a complete loser—so, if I could get close to a genius—even if it was just to become his disciple, it would probably be like a dream..."
"Hey." Lian Shuiyin scolded him half-jokingly: "The way you said it, it's as if you are saying that the master of the family and the young master are not geniuses——"
"Isn't that true? They're only infinitely close to geniuses—to say they're the result of constant effort, they've become paranoid, which means it's mostly acquired effort. If we're talking about true combat prowess, it's people like Master Luo Dongxia who are the most admirable, right?"
"Most admirable—" Chu Shangli laughed dryly, "I'd be proud if you complimented me like that. And is it okay for you to call me Master Luo Dongxia now?"
"It's okay, it's okay... Rather, if I miss this opportunity, I always feel that I'm likely to lose more - so whether you agree to it or not, I must show my sincerity here - that is, no matter what, I have to fight for it, rather than just sit there and wait for death."
"Really? Then I appreciate your sincerity. Since you are so willing to be a character lower than me, it's up to you." Chu Shangli smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
"Really—" His spirit suddenly relaxed, and he clapped his hands together—
"That's good, that's good—"
"So, what were you discussing just now? Can you tell me about this person who has become your master?"
Lian Tianning stood up straight and said in a proper posture: "Master, we hope to pause the next game-"
"pause?"
Actually, this proposal was exactly what Chu Shangli wanted, but unfortunately she didn't know when and how to bring it up...
Now, when I heard someone from the Gongyi family take the initiative to make this suggestion without saying anything, it was definitely a pleasant surprise.
But she has a serious distrust disease——
After she acquired a great deal of knowledge and abilities that she didn't have in her previous life, her sense of trust began to decline significantly.
Whether it was people's kindness or malice, it cast a deep shadow in her heart...
No matter how gentle the words were, she wanted to trace their purpose.
If I think about it this way, I've become the type of person I hated the most in my previous life. Well, it feels a bit like I deserve it.
Furthermore, my trust has been shattered. If I think about it carefully, in a sense, this was all decided in my previous life...
When I was able to swing a knife and kill someone, I had actually already fallen.
Furthermore, the ability to deceive people was inherited into this life. It was ridiculous to say that I hated it only now—not to mention that I actually took advantage of these abilities—
Because of this strong feeling of distrust, she asked this question...
"Why? Actually, I can still compete in the third game."
