After Lin Yu's "beating."
The dining table finally quieted down.
Mainly because Maomao had shut her mouth.
At this moment.
She weakly held her chopsticks, poking at the two shrimp in her plate.
The clean, neatly arranged shrimp had been stirred into several pieces.
Some people might appear to be at the dinner table, but their minds had wandered off long ago...
Lin Yu was eating happily.
Thoroughly enjoying the feast arranged by the three ladies.
His mere presence had already pushed Maomao to her limit.
With these kinds of twisted little problems, he could easily defeat her five more times.
Now that things had turned out this way, Lin Yu thought it wasn't bad at all.
Perhaps he could use Maomao's competitive spirit to find a way to bring her into the "sect"!
However, the fact that he was living with Xia Yiwei.
Would probably be impossible to hide much longer.
He could only trust in Maomao and Big Sister Xia Xiashan's integrity.
If they said they wouldn't investigate him, they wouldn't go back on their word.
Time was running out to recruit Maomao.
If not today, then when?
Lin Yu wasn't the only one who had something to say.
Ever since Maomao had been mercilessly struck down.
The dinner atmosphere had instantly turned cold.
Xia Xiashan, feeling sympathetic, picked up some food for Maomao.
She knew that Maomao's real purpose in inviting ZerO to dinner.
Was simply to win just once.
But there was something that Xia Xiashan noticed, which Maomao hadn't realized...
To truly compete, both parties need to be working on the same thing, seeking answers to the same question.
When one side sets the questions and the other just answers them.
Essentially.
It's more like Maomao was subconsciously challenging from a position of inferiority.
Xia Xiashan realized this point.
But she didn't dare tell Maomao directly.
Their parents had known each other since they were very young.
Emotionally, treating Maomao was no different from treating her own sister.
Raised as a "gifted girl" under the super-talent philosophy.
First place.
Was the most common label in her life.
Until someone branded her with second place...
This action had completely become her mental demon!
Actually.
To teach ZerO a lesson, it didn't need to be limited to "technical" aspects.
It could also be physical!
"ZerO, both you and Yiwei are quite young."
"I suggest you both shouldn't take this master-apprentice game too seriously."
"In our family, taking a master is a very serious matter, not something to joke about."
While Maomao couldn't regain her dignity for now.
Xia Xiashan still had important matters to attend to.
No matter what.
She couldn't just watch her sister recklessly take on a master.
Especially someone even younger than her!
"Hey, big sis, it's very rude to talk to my little master like that!"
"Why is your master-apprentice relationship legitimate."
"While ours is just playing around?"
Xia Yiwei pouted dissatisfied.
Xia Xiashan retorted arrogantly:
"If you're not satisfied with the master our parents chose for you, you can tell mom and dad honestly."
"Is there any need for such lies? Finding a hacker genius to pretend to be a martial arts master."
"I know exactly what you're planning, wanting ZerO to use his technical skills to forge some identity documents to fool everyone, right?"
Xia Yiwei mimicked her sister's crossed-arms pose and said defiantly:
"Big sis, you really don't understand my little master."
"Before coming to the International Hotel, I never knew he was a top hacker."
"Little master hid his identity very well, even though we've lived together for so long, I only recently discovered his secret of being a grand martial arts master."
"So... I quickly became his apprentice, and by the way, let him teach you a lesson!"
Xia Xiashan and Maomao looked at the master-apprentice pair in shock.
The explosive point in Xia Yiwei's words wasn't about being a grand martial arts master or becoming an apprentice.
But rather...
Living together!
And for a long time?
Lin Yu calmly drank his tea.
Well.
It was more natural coming from Xia Yiwei's mouth than if he had revealed it himself.
To achieve the time-limited task of bringing Maomao into the sect.
Their "living together" situation would have come to light sooner or later.
"Crack!"
The emotionally charged Xia Xiashan snapped her chopsticks in one grip.
She furiously asked: "Have you two slept together?"
Lin Yu almost spat out his tea: "Cough cough..."
He hurriedly explained:
"Sister Xiashan, we're just co-tenants."
"We live in the same apartment building, I'm on the third floor, Yiwei's on the first floor."
"Didn't you investigate her?"
"Didn't you know she lives in a shared apartment?"
Hearing this.
Xia Xiashan's expression softened considerably.
Indeed.
When her sister had moved out of home in a fit of anger, she had investigated secretly.
The facts matched exactly with what Lin Yu said.
Xia Yiwei was unimpressed by her sister's reaction.
She even retorted with a defiant tone:
"Xia Xiashan, do you need to control whether I sleep with my little master or not?"
"I'm your sister, not your daughter."
"I can sleep with whoever I want, wherever I want!"
After saying this.
Xia Yiwei felt that just verbal defiance wasn't enough.
She grabbed Lin Yu's hand and placed it on her leather shorts, moving it up and down, left and right.
Lin Yu: "???"
Wasn't there enough hatred already?
Was she determined to make Xia Xiashan want to kill him?
Ah.
What a headache.
Short leather shorts were nice though.
Could feel the thigh immediately.
Like a peeled boiled egg.
"Well well, Xia Yiwei, I know what you're thinking, you naughty girl."
"Master Z, since she asked you to beat me up."
"No time like the present, let's have a match in the parking lot?"
Xia Xiashan interrupted Lin Yu's exploratory mood.
As her sister wished, she challenged him.
Girls' world was truly mysterious.
Inviting someone to dinner, and in the middle of it, suddenly wanting to fight.
And not just any fight, but the "beat you until your mother won't recognize you" kind.
When Xia Yiwei asked for help with the lie.
Lin Yu had been mentally prepared.
Now that it was time for him to put in the work, he couldn't refuse.
Lin Yu: "Well, I..."
Just as he was about to agree.
Xia Yiwei cut in:
"Xia Xiashan, who do you think you're looking down on?"
"Want to deal with my little master in a parking lot?"
"I won't allow it!"
"It must be at the martial arts hall!"
"Let's set a time for tomorrow, bring your lackeys."
"My little master will make all of you lose your teeth!"
"Isn't that right, little master?"
Lin Yu: "..."
A snake's mouth and a wasp's tail are not as poisonous... this little venom woman!
Not satisfied with having him fight one person, she wanted him to challenge an entire martial arts hall?
Most importantly.
Lin Yu couldn't even object.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
