Chapter 238 - Abrupt Farewell

"Master, can I come with you? "

When Qin Tao got wind of his master's decision, he immediately jumped out in agitation and clung to her nonstop. His master said she'd go elsewhere and Qin Tao was raring to go with her. 

Su Ci Yi didn't bother to pack her things and since she was staying temporarily at Qin Yu's mansion, she didn't have any single thing with her.

"Master needed to go this time and it will be inconvenient if I will go with a child. Ah Tao will remain here and study the material that I taught him so when I can back he can be strong like me, hmm?"

Qin Tao pouted his little lips and didn't answer her for a second. His master is willing to bring her second disciple but she will leave him? Even so, Qin Tao fully knows that he's still a child so even though he's not willing to do so, but reality strengthens his heart and obeys her request.

Su Ci Yi saw him abide this time without making a fuss and was glad. Things had become a hassle for her lately. She thought she needs to put up a lot of effort just to convince him. But she was glad that he understood her well. Qin Tao was beginning to mature and think rationale these days.

Su Ci Yi was so glad to it.

This decision of her is too abrupt, even to the point where she didn't know where her destination is. The point is that, to find a suitable place for cultivation and enter seclusion for a year or two. Knowing that she will probably be gone for a long time, a slight smile appear on her lips.

She came near the child and rustle his head, assuring him "Don't worry, Master will come back. And by the time, I'll be stronger than me now."

Qin Tao hugged her and spoke in a muffled tone, " Master will see it that she will come back. If master won't, Qin Tao will never speak to her ever again!"

"Yes, Yes I will."

The two were intertwined in a heart-warming posture when Qin Yu enter the room. At first, they didn't notice him so he stood by the door and lean on the wall crossing his arms.

"Must you do it?" Later his voice rang behind Su Ci Yi's back and she breaks away from their posture.

"Can't you reverse your decision anymore?" Qin Yu inquire for the second time. When he learned this person's decision, a headache appeared on his head. Just as he thought, Su Ci Yi is shouldering again her emotions on her own, pulling all the strangeness this whole situation had brought to her.

"I need to find a place where the concentration of spiritual energy is high. Through only that I will become strong. I don't know where the place might be, all I know is that it will be a long journey."

Hearing her openly indulge in some info, Qin Yu scrunch his forehead. This is the first time that he heard of these things although he fully knows what is it.

"I will just let my men find those places and there will be no way that they will fail. Just say here. The mansion is big and Ah Tao will need you."

Su Ci Yi promised Su Ming that she will become strong. By the time she came back, she will claim her. She didn't want anyone to hinder her at this moment. Qin Yu's offer is too good on her part, but she isn't someone who wanted to make trouble for others. She had already received a lot of favor from this man. It was already enough.

"Yi..."

"Mr. Qin, please believe me this time. I will come back as soon as I can. Those people of yours won't know the place I'm looking for. After I level up, I will find you again. You will be the first person that will know my arrival. So, please, while I'm away, I want you to watch over my sister..."

"Yi.. didn't you know that you are too much? Your selfish and arrogant and self-centered. Just stay here and don't go. I'll protect you. I'll not let a single blister touch your skin, I will take care of you and your sister."

"I can't"

"Yi..." Qin Yu's voice was now desperate, imagine someone whom you couldn't let go just for a moment disappeared for a year or two... it's just too stimulating to even think about.

Su Ci Yi saw his reluctance and flashed a step forward. She stopped in front of the man and tiptoed. Qin Yu was almost a head tall and she needed to step on her toes just to reach him. This is the first time that she took this initiative. 

She didn't know what came to her mind, but her body just moved on their own. 

Leaning over the man and planting a simple kiss on his lips.

Qin Yu was stupified for a moment. 

After a simple smack on his lips, Su Ci Yi was about to get away from his clutch, but he pulled her body again, this time, Qin Yu was the one bending to her height.

He trapped her waist within his arms that she won't break away from him and locked his lips against hers.

Su Ci Yi didn't struggle and let him take the lead.

Qin Tao, like a scared ostrich, turned his head away.

After their body separated, Su Ci Yi was still gasping her breath but nevertheless it didn't hinder her to turn her back and move away. Her face was burning red at this moment that she can't let him see her.

"Mai, let's so"

The person she called, popped out behind the door. Her face also showed a suspicious blush.

Her decision was abrupt this time. Like a passing wind that can come and go. Qin Yu remained standing, as if still on the verge of his fantasy land. When he sobered up, Su Ci Yi was walking far away.

"Yi... be sure to come back to me first! I'll wait for you!"

Qin Yu spoke but he didn't know if she heard him well. Because the back of the woman that had just been with him was now gone. Leaving only the traces of her warmth from the very inch of his arm. Hot and throbbing but full of longings. Lonesome and at the same time looking forward to her return.

If only there was a time skip machine, then Qin Yu wouldn't hesitate to acquire one and to skip this time to the future. But these were all delusions to escape this reality.

The reality that pulled her away from him.

So, when she came back next time, there will be no turning back.

He will not hesitate and idle anymore...

He will not stand still and be passive...

He will not wait for her feelings any longer, he'll be the one to take effort on their relationship...

...and this time around, he will surely make her his very own fierce lady.
