Chapter Forty-two: Bearing a Grudge

  Facing Su Yu Fei's offensive, Zhao Yang dodged lightly, like a fallen leaf in the wind, moving with the wind, no matter how hard Su Yu Fei tried, she couldn't even touch a thread of his clothes.

  After a while, Su Yu Fei was already somewhat panting, staring at Zhao Yang's eyes still filled with resentment and disobedience, but in her heart she also knew that perhaps her wish to hit him once would also be in vain.

  He could only stop dejectedly and shout reluctantly: "Stop fighting, stop fighting! Are you a loach? I've never seen anyone as slippery as you, huffing and puffing, it's infuriating!"

  Seeing Su Yu Fei stop attacking, Zhao Yang also stopped, smiling brightly at her.

  At this moment, Su Yu's crescent-shaped eyes flashed a hint of cunning, and suddenly her figure burst out again, a fierce tiger-shaped fist struck Zhao Yang's chest like a thunderbolt.

  Su Yu Fei's sudden attack was extremely swift and fierce, with a speed that was almost instantaneous, and in the blink of an eye, she had already arrived in front of Zhao Yang.

  However, a hint of mockery flashed in Zhao Yang's eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth grew thicker. Just as Su Yu Fei's fist was about to land on him, and even Su Yu Fei's mouth had already curled up with a triumphant smile, thinking that this time he would definitely hit Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang suddenly shifted his feet, 'whoosh' in an instant, his body dodged away...

  In an instant, Su Yuwei only felt a flash before her eyes, and the target that was originally within arm's reach suddenly disappeared. The self-satisfied smile at the corner of her mouth froze instantly.

  The next moment, Su Yu suddenly realized and hurriedly tried to stop her own movement, because in front of her was the edge of the lake shore, where Zhao Yang had just stood extremely close to the lake. At the moment when Su Yu launched a sneak attack, Zhao Yang suddenly let go, instantly making Su Yu rush directly towards the lake in front of her.

  It was just Su Yuwei who had used all her strength to hit Zhao Yang earlier, and now she suddenly wanted to stop the momentum, how could it be easy?

  Just as she was about to rush into the lake, Su Yuwei subconsciously let out a sharp cry, her eyes couldn't help but close, already waiting for the outcome of becoming a drowned rat.

  Just then, Su Yu suddenly felt her arm tighten, and then her whole body shook. The momentum of the forward charge was abruptly stopped. Subconsciously opening her eyes to take a look, Su Yu only discovered that she had already charged to the edge of the lake shore, and even her entire body had leaned towards the lake, only her arm being pulled back at the last moment, which made her not fall down.

  Wow!

  Su Yuwei let out a sigh. As soon as she turned around, she saw Zhao Yang's smiling face with a hint of teasing.

  "Be careful, even if you want to take a bath in the lake, you should choose a better time. The water is freezing at this early hour!"

  Damn it! Bastard!

  Zhao Yang's teasing made Su Yu Fei suddenly furious, a surge of anger 'whooshed' up. Just as she was about to erupt, her body was pulled back to the shore by Zhao Yang with great force.

  "Alright, next time be more careful, it's not every time that there will be someone as kind-hearted as me to catch you in time." Zhao Yang said with a teasing tone.

  Seeing Zhao Yang's 'small-minded' appearance, Su Yu suddenly became like a furious little lioness, staring at Zhao Yang and huffing: "Who asked you to pull me? Did I ask you to pull me? Don't think that just because I couldn't beat you up, you can act smug in front of me! Humph, I won't fall for this! You'd better not expect me to be grateful to you, no way!"

  Zhao Yang shrugged and said casually, "Okay, it seems I was overthinking. In that case, I think it's better if I just throw you back in again. It'll save you from cursing me for being a busybody who won't even let you swim in this lake."

  "How dare you!"

  Su Yu Fei stared at Zhao Yang.

  "Watch me dare or not!" Zhao Yang said, pulling Su Yu Fei towards the lake shore, pretending to throw her into the lake.

  As soon as Su Yu saw Zhao Yang's momentum, she suddenly panicked and didn't want to become a drowned rat. In shock, she quickly broke free from Zhao Yang's grasp, jumped back, and warily stared at him, as if afraid he would rush over and throw her into the lake again.

  "What? Are you scared now?" Zhao Yang didn't move, just standing by the lake with a smile on his face as he looked at Su Yu Fei.

  Su Yu Fei didn't admit defeat and still spoke tough: "Hmph, who's afraid of you? Me? Afraid of you? What a joke!"

  "Alright, if you're not afraid then don't be afraid, so why are you so tense?" Zhao Yang said with a smirk, his lips curling up slightly.

  "Do I look nervous? You're just overthinking!" Su Yu Fei retorted.

  "I'll just think as much as I want to. After all, heaven knows, earth knows, you know."

  He shrugged, picked up the clothes he had put aside when he got up, wrapped in which was that piece of 'thousand-year-old wood heart'. As for the kitchen knife, it was directly thrown into the trash can by Zhao Yang.

  It's not early anymore, if I carry the kitchen knife and swagger back, who knows what people will think, maybe someone will call the police, it's better to just throw it in the trash can, anyway the blade is already bent after cutting through the tree trunk, it's scrap metal.

  As Zhao Yang seemed to be about to leave, Su Yu Fei suddenly couldn't help but ask: "Hey, what's your name? Which sect's legacy are you from? The fist technique you practiced earlier seems like something I've never seen before. And were you practicing 'inner power' just now when you were sitting there?"

  Upon hearing Su Yu Fei's question, Zhao Yang couldn't help but retort: "Miss, before investigating others' backgrounds, shouldn't you first introduce yourself? Moreover, asking so many questions to get to the bottom of things, are you conducting a household survey or what? I don't have an obligation to answer you."

  "Hmph, if you don't want to say it, then don't. What's the big deal? I'm not even happy about knowing!" Su Yuwei scrunched up her nose and let out a soft hum, turning around to leave. However, her footsteps were very slow, as if she was waiting for Zhao Yang to call out to her, to voluntarily tell her what he had just asked.

  Unfortunately, Zhao Yang didn't make a sound, he just looked at her and also turned around to leave, without even looking back.

  Su Yuwei waited for a long time, but didn't see Zhao Yang open his mouth. She couldn't help but turn her head and take a look. When she saw that Zhao Yang had already walked tens of meters away, she suddenly became angry, her small face flushing red, and she stomped her foot in frustration, saying: "Hmph! I'll remember you, don't give me the chance to catch up with you, or else you'll be sorry!"

  Su Yu clenched her fists and swung them at Zhao Yang's back, before reluctantly leaving...
