For the sake of his own heart, his uncle kept an eye on Suiyi for over a month, right up until the day before the assessment.
During that month-long period, he suffered a great blow and almost committed seppuku to atone for his sins. The reason was that that brat almost drove him insane, and she was born to be devastating; compared to her, his little achievement was nothing.
I'm ashamed, ashamed. My family gave me the name Thor, which should have made me look majestic, but that brat has completely crushed me.
I regret it so much. I should have known better than to keep an eye on her. It would have been so much better if she had gone out and caused trouble for others. I really regret it now!
Watching someone practice shooting on the side, so casually, firing ten rings every time, that person is definitely not human.
"The assessment competition is tomorrow, are you ready?"
Suiyi stopped shooting, reached out to take off her glasses, turned to look at her uncle, and raised an eyebrow with a smile.
What do you think?
"Don't you feel ashamed to participate in the assessment with your abilities? It's practically bullying kids!" Even he couldn't beat her, let alone those brats in the academy! Thinking back on the past few days, it was truly indescribable. Every time he challenged her to a duel, he was utterly humiliated, questioning his very existence; ambushes were even worse.
Here Suiyi has something to say. What does it mean that a sneak attack is even worse? It's something her uncle did that Suiyi is too embarrassed to even mention.
"Don't say that. If you're going to participate in the assessment, you definitely have to get first place. You can't show off in an assessment if you don't get first place!"
"..." indicates that being with a demon has left one emotionally and physically exhausted.
"I'm not going to worry about you anymore. Just take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he walked away, utterly dejected. He needed to find someone to spar with and regain the confidence that had shattered beyond repair.
After her uncle left, Suiyi sat down in the rest area, her eyes vacant, as if there was no trace of Qi Muzhi in this academy. She wondered if he had followed her here, or if he had encountered something! Perhaps he had lost his memory, or if he was waiting for her to find him somewhere else.
"Sigh!" In other people's families, the men do the physical labor, so why is it the other way around in my family? Is it because I'm too fierce?
Ah Xing: You finally realize how fierce you are. You've become so fierce that you've done all the things men do, leaving no room for others to compete. I think you're not looking for a husband, but a wife.
She rolled her eyes at her. Her love life was so bizarre; she wondered how she'd spoil her husband rotten after marriage! She was so lucky. Ah Xing pouted, quite jealous of Qi Muzhi for having her master so devoted to her.
"Tch! You're right, I'm looking for a wife, all she needs to do is be beautiful!" He glared at Ah Xing, placing one hand on its head and rubbing it vigorously.
"Squeak squeak squeak! Stop messing up my hairstyle!" Ah Xing struggled, trying to escape Sui Yi's clutches.
Suiyi didn't say a word, but kept rubbing Axing's head until the originally smooth hair was rubbed into a bird's nest before she let it go.
Ah Xing was furious, his eyes blazing with anger. "Don't you know that a head can be severed, blood can flow, but a hairstyle cannot be messed up?" He angrily pointed his paw at Sui Yi and jumped around on the side.
"Your dog hair?"
“…, that’s dog hair…” After saying that, he jumped out.
He's a high-class beast; he has to leave before the woman gets angry, otherwise, he'll be in trouble again. A classic case of flirting and running away.
Sui Yi stared at A Xing with a chilling gaze, though the beast remained oblivious. This illustrates how fortunate those unaware of certain events are, even if the consequences will be regrettable.
Sui Yi got up from the sofa, patted the wrinkles on the sofa, then looked up and strolled leisurely outside. Standing at the gate, the entire academy became even more lively, with every student discussing tomorrow's assessment, their faces full of anticipation.
Five or six girls were chatting as they walked over.
"Did you know? I heard that the Imperial Academy will be sending people tomorrow to observe our assessment and then find some promising talents to take as their apprentices. I wonder who will be lucky enough to be chosen." The girl looked expectant, hoping that she would be selected. That way, she would feel proud and let that stinky woman see that she was truly outstanding, and that she didn't have to rely on a man to live a good life.
"You guys don't know, but my brother flew back from the capital yesterday. He told me to be careful during the assessment and perform well, because besides the teachers, there will be some scions of really powerful families coming tomorrow. They can be considered the offspring of phoenixes and dragons. If we are lucky enough to be chosen, we will truly be on the road to a wealthy family."
"Come on, you lot are all ugly, have no figure, no power or status, and no ability. Don't dream about it." A somewhat arrogant female student, dressed in flamboyant clothes, tossed her hair and looked at the people around her with disdain.
"Shh, stop talking, look ahead." A female student stopped the two from bickering and reminded the people around her to look.
"?" The two looked up in confusion and saw Sui Yi slowly walking towards them. When Sui Yi reached their side, she didn't look to the side or glance at the people next to her.
"Tch, what's with the attitude! If it weren't for having an uncle protecting him, he would have been killed long ago." Only after Suiyi had walked away did he dare to speak.
"Give me a break. So what if he has an uncle? That's his resource. If you're so capable, go find an uncle yourself. Oh no, finding a godfather is cheaper than an uncle."
"You want to go against me, don't you, Lanna? We'll see." Upon hearing her words, the female student was furious and pointed at her nose, yelling.
"Alright, alright, what's all the arguing about? If you have the energy to argue, you should go and study tomorrow's match. Maybe your ranking won't be so low." Unable to stand it any longer, the girl said to the people around her, and then left first, leaving the people behind looking at each other in bewilderment.
"I think she's having a nervous breakdown because of the assessment tomorrow. Anyway, we're not at the bottom, so what's an assessment? My goal is to snag a rich husband tomorrow."
...
With such good hearing, how could Suiyi not hear what they were discussing? She just didn't have the time or inclination to pay attention.
Suiyi walked home and found Ah Xing squatting on the sofa watching a movie. Suiyi walked over and sat down lazily.
"Ah Xing, go get a bag of snacks to eat."
"Go get it yourself, I don't have time," Ah Xing said, engrossed in playing with his tablet without looking up.
"Watching a movie...no time? You're not going to watch something inappropriate for children, are you?" Suiyi sat down and glanced at Axing's tablet.
“Biographies of figures from Imperial Capital Academy!” Sui Yi read out each word carefully, looking at A Xing with a puzzled expression.
What do you mean by this? Do you have a crush on her?
Giving her a disapproving look, Ah Xing tapped a few times on the screen and handed the tablet to Sui Yi.
