Chapter 42 Xiao Lan's decision
Chapter 42 Xiao Lan's decision
Shen Yu stood at the side of window as he looked at the rising sun in the distance. Because of the tall walls, the sun wasn't too clear but the sunlight was very clear.
He sighed as he made a cup of tea appear in front of him and began to drink it. The system's words were still ringing in his head, reminding him that this was his new reality now. He needed to accept it and work on it.
He was awkward. He was an introvert. He didn't know how to behave around people so he always pretended. He was a loser in his previous life and that mentality was hard to erase.
However, he needed to get over it and improve. If he didn't, the people close to him would be affected and that was the last thing he wanted. That's why he needed to get over his past life.
With eyes burning of determination, Shen Yu finished his tea and looked directly at the sun. He clenched his fists as a confident smile appeared on his face.
"Isn't it just depression? I can easily get over it. It's nothing. Heh, since this is my new reality, I'll show the world who Shen Yu is. I won't be passive anymore, I'm tired of that. I will do everything I want and make this world mine if that's need to be done."
Shen Yu uttered those words with a big smile on his face. Although he felt a little embarassed for saying all that, he didn't stop as he was reminding himself of what he had vowed. He had acted as a passive person all his life who just let the things flow as they were, and that habit of his had followed him even to new world. He had been passive even in this world but enough was enough. He wouldn't remain passive anymore.
"Master? Are you awake?"
Shen Yu turned to look at the door, hearing Ying Yue's words and smiled. He replied.
"Yes, I'll be there in a minute."
"Alright, Miss Lan had invited us to her room."
With that, Ying Yue went back to her room to dress up. She had came just to check up on Shen Yu and tell him about Lan Ming's arrangements. Since Shen Yu and others were like the top customer of the Inn, they were given the facility to have everything, including food, in their own room.
Shen Yu sighed and wore his robes. He then looked at himself for a moment and exited the room, heading towards Lan Ming's room. Since there were only four rooms, they were quite big so it took a few seconds for him to reach her room.
He stopped before the gate and thought.
'This is it. This is the day I change.'
Shen Yu took a deep breath and adorned a beautiful smile on his face. He then opened the door and went inside, finding the three ladies already there chatting with each other.
Hearing the clicking sound they turned around and found Shen Yu standing there. Aside from Ying Yue who just had a infatuated look on her face, other two had their jaw dropped on the ground as they looked at Shen Yu. Their face held a strange red colour that spread even to their ears.
Feeling their hot burning gaze on him, as if wanting to devour him, even Shen Yu got awkward and all of his previous confidence flew away.
'Improve my ass!! How can one have straight face under this situation? Still, I need to face it. I need to change.'
Shen Yu though was confused by their reaction and checked himself. He instantly realised the problem and almost facepalmed.
"M-Master Shen, Why do I feel like you've grown too handsome in just one night?" Lan Ming asked, as she looked away however her eyes occasionally drifted towards him.
"Ah! Wait a minute!"
Shen Yu said as he made his magic of illusion around him. The technique he had used on previous day to mask his charming appearance had somehow disappeared.
'However even then it shouldn't be this strong.'
[It's because you imprisoned your charm in a way and because of sudden leak it burst into such deadly waves of charming aura.]
'I see! I didn't know there would be a time limit or something. I really need to see the effects and side effects of things I use.' Shen Yu thought as he again covered himself in a viel of illusion that made his face seem unattractive.
He chuckled at their reaction and took his seat. He raised his head, only to see the trio looking at him. Confused, he asked.
"What?"
"What's that magic? You're so handsome then why are you hiding yourself?"
Lan Ming asked, feeling bitter that she didn't get to see that handsome face for long. Still, she was even more envious of Ying Yue who could see that face whenever she wanted.
"You should know better than anyone the troubles of being charming so yeah, I don't think I need to explain myself."
Shen Yu shrugged and began to eat his breakfast. Lan Ming nodded in understanding and turned silent. Even Xiao Lan understood it. The group of four then silently enjoyed the food and only then their talk began.
Shen Yu looked at Xiao Lan and asked.
"So, what is your plan after now?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Senior Sister Yue has already told me everything and It will be my pleasure to be in your sect. I request you to take me as your Disciple."
Xiao Lan said, as she stood up and bowed in front of Shen Yu, her eyes burning in fiery determination. She had thought a lot on this and had come to this decision.
Not to mention that she had to repay Shen Yu's kindness, she herself had began to like his character and wanted to protect the kindness he had. She was attracted to him and she acknowledged that. As for if she loved him, she didn't know but she didn't have much hopes from the word love.
In her previous life, she had already learned that love meant nothing so she didn't care about all that. She had decided to be Shen Yu's disciple and also...
"And please let me be your wife and serve you till eternity."
