Chapter 718: Down the Mountain

Hearing this, Su Yun instantly felt relieved. “Let’s go find Master Zhuge together. I don’t know how much she heard from us just now.”

Before they left, he glanced in the direction of the tree, his eyes filled with doubt.

The tree branch that Su Huiqing was lying on was too thin. How did she manage to lie on such a thin tree branch unscathed? Or was she really that light?

He didn’t have enough time to understand because they had already arrived at Old Master Zhuge’s place.

Meanwhile, Su Huiqing was still lying on the tree.

The monkey on top of her head squatted on the branch for a long time before finally finding an opportunity to reach out and take the book away from Su Huiqing’s face.

However, just as it reached out, it was pinched by a slender hand.

Under the sunlight, those fair and clean fingers were sparkling like jade.

Su Huiqing finally took off the book on her face and sat up calmly. She placed the monkey in front of her and smiled. “Why? Are you trying to ambush me?”

Monkey squeaked a few times. If it could speak, Su Huiqing would have been scolded badly by it.

However, it could not.

He could only stare at Su Huiqing.

In the courtyard, Old Master Zhuge called her. Su Huiqing patted its head with a book. “Alright, don’t pretend to be dead. I am almost done. You don’t have to do the experiment anymore.”

With that, she smirked. “You have to remember that your father will always be your father. If you want to ambush me in my next life, hmm?”

Finally, she let the monkey go and walked into the courtyard slowly.

In the courtyard, Su Yun and Chu Yi were both there. When they heard the voice, they turned back at the same time and saw Su Huiqing walking over slowly. No matter how bright the sunlight was, it could not hide the coldness on her body.

Seeing Su Huiqing’s face, Su Yun looked at her with some fear.

“What? Master Zhuge, you want her to go down the mountain with us?” Upon hearing Old Master Zhuge’s words, Su Yun immediately widened her eyes.

However, Old Master Zhuge ignored her and just looked at Su Huiqing. “Almost a year?”

Su Huiqing nodded, her eyes slightly dazed. “Ten days away.”

“Mmm, follow me down the mountain. Just tell me when you leave the island.” Old Master Zhuge waved his hand. “Miss Su has never come down the mountain before. Help me take care of her.”

He glanced at her and frowned. Luckily, she didn’t reject him.

Su Yun didn’t dare to say anything to Old Master Zhuge. She just looked at Su Huiqing with an unfriendly gaze.

Su Huiqing was still missing three books. Before leaving, she brought those three books and a few sets of clothes.

The three of them descended the mountain.

Someone was picking up Chu Yi and Su Yun at the foot of the mountain. Seeing the two of them coming down, the group of guards immediately went forward. However, their faces were not very good. They were about to say something when they were stopped by Su Yun.

Su Yun glanced at Su Huiqing with a guarded expression.

She didn’t stop Su Yun either. Su Yun took a few steps before letting the guard speak.

In the distance, Su Huiqing leaned against a tree, and her eyes squinted slightly. However, her lowered eyes were a little grave. No wonder Old Master Zhuge asked her to follow him down.

“Let’s go.” After hearing the guard’s words, Su Yun’s expression turned even graver. Chu Yi also didn’t look good.

The guard didn’t know Su Huiqing so he arranged for her to be in the car behind.
