“What about immunity from all poisons?” Jia Zizai asked.

“I haven’t seen that personally, but I’ve heard it from other directors,” the woman replied.

“Didn’t you say that everyone who saw the chairman’s ability died?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“Ha-ha, I was joking,” Jia Zizai said, trying to make things less awkward. “Is Mei an ordinary person?”

“According to what Mei has said, it is hard to kill the boss,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Yes, have you forgotten how old Xu died?” the woman asked.

“I know. I remember,” Jia Zizai said.

“Has anyone in the company ever wanted to kill the chairman?” Zhong Liuchuan poured them another cup of tea.

“Of course, and there was more than one person and more than once,” the woman said. “They failed every time, and those people all died miserably. After several attempts, everyone realized that the boss was difficult to kill, so they gave up.”

Zhong Liuchuan frowned when he heard that. Looking at the situation, he had to change his plans. If things didn’t work out, he would let his sister go to school in town. After all, she would still be close.

“Ah, you’re just thinking too much,” Jia Zizai said. “Just ask your master to attack him. Regardless of how knives and guns do not harm him, and his immunity to all sorts of poisons, just slap him to death!”

“What master?” the woman asked.

“My new master,” Jia Zizai said. “He’s amazingly talented and a land immortal!”

“Really?” The woman was surprised upon hearing that from her lover’s mouth.

It was either that the other party was too shockingly powerful or Jia Zizai had drunk too much and gone crazy. Looking at the situation, the former seemed more likely.

“Of course, it’s true,” Jia Zizai said. “Do you think Liuchuan’s ability is that great? No, he should be called a senior fellow apprentice. He learned it all from a master. If I’m not mistaken, he has only practiced kung fu for 10 days.”

“Stop dreaming. He hasn’t accepted you as an apprentice,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Alright, stop rattling on,” Mei said. “Get rid of that thought and come back with me.”

“I won’t go,” Jia Zizai said. “I’ll stay here and practice.”

“Are you crazy?” Mei reached out and pulled his ear.

“Ouch, that hurts. That hurts,” Jia Zizai said. “Mei, be gentler. I’m a patient now. Can’t you be gentler?”

“Come back with me,” she said.

“I’ve already said that I’m not going back. I’m going to study and practice here,” Jia Zizai said. “Besides, I still have limitations on my body. If I leave now, I’ll be a useless person. I have to wait for Master to come back.”

“I’ll stay here and see what kind of person your so-called Master is,” she said.

“That’s great!” Jia Zizai took the woman in his arms and kissed her vigorously.

Zhong Liuchuan coughed twice. He thought, Is this really one of the company’s directors? No matter how he looked, he didn’t seem reliable.

“How soon will he be back?” the woman asked.

“One week,” Zhong Liuchuan replied.

“Fine, I’ll stay here for a week,” the woman said.

“Does anyone else know that you’re here?” Jia Zizai asked.

“No, I only told Xiaomei about my trip,” the woman said.

“What about the tracking software?” Jia Zizai asked.

“Rest assured, I’ve already checked it all and changed the car,” she replied.

“That’s good,” Jia Zizai said.

Just like that, the woman started living in the mountain village. She Jia Zizai sat in a courtyard and talked.

“I don’t know what Master will think when he comes back,” Jia Zizai said with a sigh.

“Is what you just said true?” the woman asked.

“Of course, it’s true,” Jia Zizai said. “When have I lied?”

The woman’s expression turned frosty as she lifted a foot to kick him to the ground.

“Hehe, my dear, don’t be so angry,” Jia Zizai said. “I really want to learn from Master.”

“Is that fellow Wang Yao really that powerful?” she asked.

“You didn’t see it with your own eyes or feel it for yourself,” Jia Zizai said. “Faced against him, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness. I couldn’t confront him even though he was only several feet away. He would just wave his palm and slap the air, and I would collapse on the ground. That’s how I became what I am now. I am so weak. I don’t even have strength for sh*tting. This feels miserable.”

“Why are you so disgusting?” she asked.

“I’m just describing a fact to let you know how serious my sense of powerlessness is right now,” Jia Zizai said.

“How old is he?” she asked.

“Well, I guess he’s under 30,” he replied.

“Jia Zizai, I’ll give you another chance,” the woman said. “Is what you just said true?”

“Mei, what I said is absolutely the truth, truer than 24K gold,” Jia Zizai replied.

“How powerful can a man under 30 become even if he started practicing kung fu in his mother’s womb?” she asked. “I don’t believe it since I haven’t seen it with my own eyes. Could it be a special ability?”

“It’s unlikely,” Jia Zizai said. “Look at Zhong Liuchuan. He’s also learning from that young man. He improved by a level after only a few weeks. These are some solid skills. I’ve decided to stay here and wait for him to come back and have him as my master!”

“What if he doesn’t accept you?” the woman asked.

“I’ll persevere until he accepts me,” Jia Zizai said.

“Why do you want to learn this from him?” she asked.

“I want to leave the company,” Jia Zizai whispered as he laid down on the Kang.

“What?!” The woman was stunned.

“Mei, don’t you want to leave?” he asked.

The woman sat at the head of the Kang and was silent.

“They said it’s a company, but all they do is murder and smuggle goods,” Jia Zizai said. “All those directors are nothing but higher-level killers. We have this ability, and we could have been unrestrained and free. Once we were in the company, we had to obey the rules and were bound by them. Now, they have materials to blackmail us in their hands. We might get arrested or become wanted at any time. It feels like a sword is hanging above our heads. The sword might drop down and kill us whenever and for some random reason. The key problem is that they have something on us, but we don’t know anything that can be used against them. Isn’t it ridiculous?”

“We can’t help it,” the woman said. “The things we’ve done are enough to have us shot to death several times.”

“There used to be no way out,” Jia Zizai said. “It’s different now. I see hope. I have to try if there’s hope.”

“What about the company?” she asked.

“What about it?” Jia Zizai asked. “We’ll try to think of ways to buy time. It’s not the first time I’ve suddenly disappeared. They’re probably used to it, but you can’t stay here for a long time or they’ll be suspicious.”

“I’ll stay here for a few more days to see if your so-called brilliant young man is skilled,” she replied.

“Sure, you’ll be surprised,” Jia Zizai said.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao had been living leisurely in Jing. During the day, he either accompanied Su Xiaoxue to class or went to the town alone. He was very relaxed. Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

“I should go back,” Wang Yao said to Su Xiaoxue.

“Alright, I’ll see you next week,” Su Xiaoxue replied.

“No, let me know when you’re on vacation,” Wang Yao said. “I’ll come to see you in Jing.”

“Alright, that sounds good too,” she said

That afternoon, Wang Yao boarded the plane to leave Jing. The sky was high, and the clouds were blooming. The plane shot straight toward the sky and disappeared, leaving a lonely beauty standing there looking up at the sky.

He stayed overnight in Dao and returned home the next morning.

As soon as he arrived at the clinic, Zhong Liuchuan found him. “Sir, you’re back.”

“Yes, is there anything, Liuchuan?” Wang Yao asked.

“There is something,” Zhong Liuchuan said. He told Wang Yao what had happened a few days ago.

“Woman killer?” Wang Yao asked. The village was becoming more chaotic, and more extraordinary characters were coming there. “Let’s go and have a look.”

The two men arrived at Jia Zizai’s small courtyard. In the house, the woman was preparing lunch. Jia Zizai was lying on the Kang, humming a tune.

“Oh, Master is back?” he exclaimed in surprise when he saw Wang Yao through the window.

Hearing his voice, the woman put down her work and went to the yard. She saw a young man who had a special characteristic like a Lone Pine crane or powerful hermit. She was surprised that such a characteristic would appear on such a young man.

“Master, you are back,” Jia Zizai said.

“As I’ve said, I will not accept you as an apprentice,” Wang Yao said. “According to Liuchuan, there is a new guest here.”

Wang Yao’s first impression of this woman was that she was a beautiful woman like a rose with thorns.

“I want to try,” the woman suddenly said.

“Try?” Wang Yao was confused.

“Don’t mess around, Mei,” Jia Zizai said.
