Chapter 292 – Toothed Bur Clover with Garlic (i)

It was unclear whether Shiyu managed to say the right words this time but [1] from the way Ding Qi kept howling and sniffing…
[1] It was a long time before he finally stopped crying. [1] He was still sniffling when Shiyu pressed his sleep point and put him into a forced sleep. She reasoned that Ding Qi had not been resting well anyway and it was probably for the best.It’s not good to be too sad.
For the next few days, she stayed at the inn and did not go out. Since she had not hidden her movements, it was easy for the others to figure out where she was staying.
She stayed at the inn for three days before Lin Fan and the others came to visit her.
Shiyu happily greeted everyone. Aside from Qing Chen, everyone else had smoothly broken through to Divine Transformation realm. She could not help but rejoice for them.
After casting a subtle glance at Qing Chen, Shiyu decided not to inquire after that matter just then and said instead, “Why are you all here?”
She had not gone out these past few days and did not know what was happening within the College. She had no idea what kind of decision the Dean made. Anyway, by not entering the College, she made her stand very clear.
She did not want to pull the College down with her.
“If you don’t come back and we don’t visit, won’t you be all alone?” Lin Fan and the rest came into her little room, filling it up with their presence.
It was not only their physical presence that was impressive. All of them were very young but most were close to their maximum height. Xuan Yin and Qi Chuyun too were tall with long legs. They stood with the tall young men and gave off a very oppressive feeling.
At the remark, Shiyu gave a bitter smile. She knew that they would not sit on folded hands and abandon her. Looks like she has a very good eye and ended up with a group of reliable friends.
“Well, since you’re all here, come. Sit down!” it was a little awkward to have them all towering over her and blocking her vision.
None of them bother with propriety and sat where there was space. After they all sat down, Shiyu felt the room looked much brighter. The sun could now stream into the room properly.
“I’ve actually been expecting everyone,” said Shiyu frankly. “Anyway, if you haven’t reached Divine Transformation stage, I can’t let you in on the next stage of the plan.”
“… …” Qing Chen coughed and said, “Let’s hear this plan first.”
He had always believed that Shiyu was not the type to be impulsive or reckless. Since she chose not to endure, she must have some kind of plan.
“Wait,” said Shiyu calmly.
“Wait?”
“Yes, it’s been five days since, it should be happening soon.”
When they heard Shiyu’s remark, some of them scratched their heads, not comprehending what she was saying.
“Has the murderer been identified?”
“En,” Shiyu updated her friends with everything she knew about the matter. “Tan-Tai Chu’s goal has not been achieved yet. According to her personality, she would almost certainly return with help from the Eight Realm.”
“Tan-Tai Chu? That Ah Chu person?”
When Tan-Tai Chu entered the College, she wore a human skin mask and passed herself off as ‘Ah Chu’. However, Shiyu had long warned her companions about this person and none of them took ‘Ah Chu’ lightly.
“En, she’s the one who wanted to take me away from the College back then,” said Shiyu.
“So, [2] in short… the so-called Supervisor came to the Ninth Realm to pick up Tan-Tai Chu. For some reason, he decided to make a stop at Dawn City before coming here, and under the pretext of catching Spiritual Beasts killed all the people there,” said Feng Luo.
He tapped his feet for a moment before bursting out, “[2] Something doesn’t add up, if the Supervisor is such a powerful person, why hasn’t he dealt with you yet?”
[3] “He will, however, he has to do it secretly,” said Shiyu. [3] “But why secretly? That’s the part I don’t understand,”Shiyu smiled, “That’s because their movements are restrained. Unfortunately for them, I recently recognised a new master…”
[Gumihou: … why is this so short? Barely 800 words?!]
We now have Glossaries for Character, Cultivation Terms, Clan Names, Restaurants & Places
[1] Adjusted Detail for Dramatic Purpose: Crying scene needs to be well written to appear natural and not overly dramatic [2] SPOOCS – Feng Luo: Reduce Usagi moment, increase a bit of class. Also, the reasoning is faulty somewhere. [3] Added Details for Logistic Purpose: Feng Luo’s conclusion made no sense, add more detail.
