HITA Chapter 19

The next day, Shi Shuiyue had already left the Tang Estate. 

Tang Xing sat on the bed that Shi Shuiyue had slept on and didn’t say anything. 

“Master.” Wu quietly appeared, “It’s time to take action.”

Tang Xing came back to his senses and faintly voiced an agreement, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving. 

At this time, the Hundred Poison Sect was in high spirits. Shi Shuiyue, who was dressed in the demon sect’s attire, sat on the highest position and watched indifferently as the followers below toasted in celebration.

“You seem to have something on your mind, Sect Master.” Someone handed a cup of fruit wine to Shi Shuiyue. She took a sip of the wine, and then asked, “Why aren’t you playing with them?”

Yu Ruiran looked at the others, who were already drunk, and helplessly said, “Sect Master, you know that I’m not quite used to these kind of events.”

Shi Shuiyue muttered a reply and didn’t say anything else. 

“Sect Master, why don’t you go take a rest first. I reckon you look kind of tired…” Yu Ruiran put his hand on Shi Shuiyue’s forehead. Shi Shuiyue reflexively rubbed her forehead against his hand, but then froze. 

Yu Ruiran, on the other hand, laughed unreservedly. 

Shi Shuiyue pouted and looked at him in discontent as she said, “Uncle Yu, you’re bullying me again.”

Yu Ruiran laughed, and then raised his hands, pretending to be scared, “What should I do? I won’t be beheaded, right?~”

Shi Shuiyue laughed out loud, “Uncle Yu, that’s enough.”

Seeing that Shi Shuiyue finally smiled, Yu Ruiran relaxed and asked, “Lass Yu, is there something bothering you? Tell Uncle Yu.”

Shi Shuiyue glanced at him, “Flaunting your seniority—aren’t you just 21 years older than me?”

“Ok–ok–ok, Sect Master is always right~”

Shi Shuiyue took a sip of fruit wine. She opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

Seeing her expression, Yu Ruiran had roughly guessed it, and teased, “Does our Sect Master have someone you like?”

“I…” Shi Shuiyue was taken aback when someone suddenly asked her this. She wanted to explain, but was defeated by Yu Ruiran’s gaze. 

Sigh—Shi Shuiyue felt aggrieved and looked at Yu Ruiran pitifully, “Uncle Yu, I fell in love with someone I can’t love. Although he loves me, I don’t want to implicate him. After all, I’m a member of the demon sect…”

Yu Ruiran looked at Shi Shuiyue, who looked as if she was about to cry, and immediately felt angry, “Who’s that bastard? It’s his honor to be liked by our Sect Master! Does he dislike you because you’re a member of the demon sect? Who needs men like him!”

“I would rather he dislike me…” Shi Shuiyue muttered, “He clearly knows that I’m a member of the demon sects, yet he still likes me and said that he doesn’t care about my identity.”

Yu Ruiran was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, “Then what are you worried about? Why can’t you two be together?”

Shi Shuiyue sighed, “Uncle Yu, you don’t understand. We’re people from two different worlds. I don’t want to cause trouble for him.”

Yu Ruiran could roughly guess the identity of that man. He looked at Shi Shuiyue and said, “I really don’t understand people like you, Luo Xiaomo or you…anyways, if it were me, I would give up everything to be with the person I love. Why can’t two people who are in love be together? I don’t get the mindset of doing what you think is good for the other person. Do you guys really think what you’re doing is good for the other party? If the person I love leaves me, I will definitely go crazy…”

“You don’t understand.” Shi Shuiyue suddenly stood up and looked up at the sky, “Sooner or later…” He would kill me with his own hands. 

Yu Ruiran pursed his lips as he watched Shi Shuiyue’s figure disappear into the night. He took another look at the others, who were still partying, and then drank his cup of wine in one gulp. 

He didn’t understand. He really didn’t understand why she left so heartlessly, yet he still couldn’t forget her.

‘Lass, don’t miss the chance like I did.’
