Awaiting a Miracle / I Think Maybe... It'll Work?
Although the Herrscher of Domination hated, they are absolutely flawless in terms of loyalty and convenience. If Liu Bai personally handed over something, those guys would never give it away without Liu Bai's consent, even if they were dead.
Clio thought for a moment, then blushed slightly and took out two more bottles from his pocket and handed them to Liu Bai.
"Um... well, I think you might need these." Clio somewhat awkwardly. "By the way, are you thinking of getting a medical check-up today?"
"Well... not for now, I have an appointment." Liu Bai thought for a moment and declined Clio's invitation.
"It's alright, have fun." Clio concealed the disappointment on his face.
... I never imagined I would talk to someone like this one day.
Indeed, I still can't compare to a young woman like Natasha in terms of feminine charm...
"Are Miss Aili and the others scheduled for today?" Ragna asked in a low voice.
She still vividly remembers how aroused Liu Bai was after watching Elysia's video.
"No, it's Fu Hua ...they." Liu Bai stroked his chin. "They've gone back to London and invited me out...but they'll probably be coming back for the night. I'll ask Otto to help prepare a room...the bigger the better."
To be honest, Liu Bai didn't know exactly how many people were around Fu Hua. Su Mei and the others were certain, but as for the others... there might be Danzhu, Cangxuan, and the like...
Chapter 600 Hoping for a Miracle
"We're here, Nata, get off here." Liu Bai told the driver next to him to slow down. "Actually, I've wanted to complain for a while now. Couldn't I have just teleported away and solved the problem?"
"A girl's date should always have a little bit of a ritual."
Natasha slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Is that Miss Qin Suyi over there?"
Natasha's eyes caught sight of a woman wearing a white baseball cap by the roadside.
To be honest, I didn't see their faces; I judged them entirely by their chest size and height.
"Yes, let's stop here. By the way, don't worry about me today. Spend more time going out and having fun with Xiao Kong."
"Don't you have a driver?"
"Don't be silly, your car isn't big enough for everyone." Liu Bai opened the car door and got out. "Bye, Nata, have a good vacation."
"Yes, yes, yes... Have a nice date, then?"
That's really a strange thing to say.
Natasha tilted her head, as if it were none of her place as a mistress to say such things.
"Grandmaster~! Good morning!" No sooner had Natasha left than Qin Suyi, who had been pointed out by Natasha, spotted Liu Bai.
"Good morning... You're dressed very well, in simple clothes."
Liu Bai complimented Qin Suyi's current outfit.
Well, she's completely integrated into modern society, wearing a cartoon-patterned anime costume and carrying a large bag. She looks like a pretty young tourist, and you'd never guess she's a swordsman from ancient times.
"Have you had a lot of fun these past few days?"
"Well, I toured the whole of Britain with Master and the others... well, it was a pretty casual tour, I guess." Qin Suyi lowered her head shyly. "Um... Grandmaster, may I link arms with you?"
"Come on." Liu Bai stretched out his arm, and Qin Suyi's eyes lit up. She quickly took his arm as well.
"Where are your senior sisters and master?"
Liu Bai gently pushed away Qin Suyi, who was holding him a little too tightly.
"By the way, besides your master and senior sister, who else is here today?"
"At the buffet restaurant where Master and Senior Sister are staying," Qin Suyi pointed to the restaurant a few steps away from the two of them. "We've already made a reservation. As for Master and Senior Sister... of course, it's the four Martial Uncles: Danzhu Cangxuan Ji Lin, Xiao Yun."
"... Why is Xiao Yun getting involved in this?"
"If we don't take Uncle-Master Xiao Yun with us, he will definitely continue to stay in Schicksal."
Qin Suyi gave a slightly helpless smile.
Xiao Yun is the kind of person who does nothing except for work... Well, not entirely idle. When he has nothing to do, he jots down quite a lot of things. No wonder he used to manage the library.
Liu Bai could only pray that this person wasn't writing history...
"Since they're all family, they all brought them... Speaking of which, I suspect that Danzhu Cangxuan have almost forgotten what the Mobius Laboratory is."
Liu Bai's lips twitched as he mentioned this.
These two had no intention of returning to Mobius's side at all, and stayed by Liu Bai's side to assist him—although Liu Bai also needed the capable Danzhu Cangxuan.
What Mobius Lab? These two people are obviously not familiar with each other.
"By the way, are Xiao Yun and Ji Lin able to adapt to modern life?"
"Hmm~ So far, it seems that Uncle Xiao Yun is adapting quite well, while Uncle Ji Lin seems to be at a loss most of the time."
Qin Suyi truthfully expressed her thoughts.
Sometimes I feel that Uncle-Master Ji Lin is a bit dull.
"It feels very accurate. Ji Lin usually looks a bit dull, but in that situation back then, he was a reliable choice to be the commander."
If you think about it carefully, there are many hidden high-level commanders in Schicksal right now.
Qin Suyi gave an awkward but polite smile upon hearing Liu Bai's words, and walked into the restaurant with Liu Bai.
"Room 209 upstairs... Grandmaster, how have you been these past few days?"
"Not bad? Well... I'd say I haven't been idle?"
"Hey~~ that's a really subtle answer." Qin Suyi revealed a slightly sarcastic expression, then hugged her even tighter as if she was jealous.
The pressure on this chest...
Liu Bai gently reached out and tapped Qin Suyi's head.
"That girl Susang didn't cause any trouble, did she?"
"Susang is actually very well-behaved outside, it's only at home that she acts so...recklessly."
Qin Suyi said something nice to Li Sushang.
Li Sushang is well-regarded in Schicksal; she's approachable and doesn't have any strange airs. While her thought process is a bit odd, Schicksal has never lacked problem children—moreover, Li Sushang's thinking isn't actually that problematic among problem children.
To be honest, Qin Suyi felt that her grandmaster should have asked her fifth senior sister if she had gotten into any trouble...
"Fifth brother definitely handles his own troubles." Liu Bai reached out and tapped Qin Suyi, who was trying not to laugh. "You're so old and you still don't know what kind of temper your senior sister has... Speaking of which, it would be great if the eldest, third, fourth, and sixth brothers were all here."
Liu Bai suddenly sighed again.
"... Forget it, Senior Brother, you shouldn't come." Qin Suyi pouted. "Heaven knows what Senior Brother went through. He used to be such a cute Senior Brother, but after a few years he suddenly became so big. Wow... it's enough to give me a psychological trauma."
Although Ma Yanqing is ranked sixth, she is the youngest among the Seven Swords. To strangers, it's usually impossible to tell who is the "junior sister" between her and Qin Suyi.
"He's reached a certain age, his frame has matured, but... well, the sixth brother is indeed quite versatile."
That's something that can't be denied at all...
When reminiscing about the past, one can't avoid the topic of Ma Yanqing, who has undergone a remarkable transformation as he grew up.
"... See, it seems that Sixth Senior Brother returned to Tai Xu Mountain in his later years."
"That's normal. Tai Xu Mountain isn't something that's easy for Lao Liu to give up... Forget it, let's talk about something else."
Talking about this topic always makes me feel a little sad.
"Hmm." Qin Suyi nodded. "By the way, what does Grandmaster think of Second Senior Sister?"
Qin Suyi slowed her pace slightly, and Liu Bai could only follow suit.
"Su Mei... Actually, at first, I didn't like her very much. For various reasons, I saw her as a traitor back then."
"And then? How did it change?"
"Well, it was pretty much a heart-wrenching conversation, and then I suddenly realized that Su Mei could have completely abandoned you all. The situations you couldn't leave behind, Su Mei could have easily left on her own. It's not hard for a wise person to be ruthless, but Su Mei chose friendship."
When Liu Bai mentioned this, his expression turned rather unpleasant.
"Su Mei is truly exceptional to you."
"Yes, Senior Sister, there's no other way." Qin Suyi also sighed, "We... let's forget about it."
To be honest, the logic behind the Seven Swords falling apart so quickly is very clear, but Qin Suyi really couldn't accept that they had fallen apart so fast.
Would it kill you to slow down a little?
Is it going to kill you to dawdle a little?
Senior Sister, would it kill you to try some underhanded tricks to delay Master?
If you keep dragging it out for a few months, Grandmaster will come eventually, won't he? Or even if you delay for ten days or half a month, Second Senior Sister and I will go back!
And what about the third and fourth sisters? They should have run away when they were discovered! Why did they have to stubbornly resist when there were nowhere else to go?
Alright! They're all dead now!
Qin Suyi really didn't know how to talk about what happened back then.
"It's still possible to hope for a miracle once in a while," Liu Bai said, remaining relatively optimistic. "For example, hoping that I, your grandmaster, can create a miracle? Or pull some strings?"
Liu Bai felt that if he couldn't figure something out, he might ask the Awakened One or something. In these few interactions, the Awakened One had left a pretty good impression on him—whether it was because he was genuinely easy to get along with or because he was wary of the Awakener's higher-dimensional nature was not important at all.
"Then Su Yi can look forward to it." Qin Suyi's expression softened considerably upon hearing Liu Bai's words.
Grandmaster... maybe a miracle really will happen, and when you're on a date, don't dwell on the things that happened back then.
Once they reached the second floor, there were only a few steps left to walk, so Qin Suyi quickened her pace.
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster~ Over here~"
As soon as I got to the second floor, I saw Li Sushang's little head.
"Don't shout in the hallway."
Liu Bai patted Li Sushang on the head.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, Grandmaster, you've come at just the right time."
Despite being the apprentice, Su Mei's aura now overwhelms her master Fu Hua.
"Grandmaster, please see what you would like to eat and place your order."
"Hmm, let me see..." Liu Bai took the menu. "Waiter, some ribs, please... Um, buddy, have we met before?"
Chapter 601 I think it's probably... okay?
"Sir? What are you saying?"
"... The Awakened One?"
"..."
Okay, we can't talk about this anymore.
How come I didn't know you were a stickler for intuition?
"I knew it, didn't I?" Liu Bai looked at the unremarkable waiter in front of him, the kind you could easily miss in a crowd, and became even more certain.
He always felt that there was something strange about this person.
"So, what's your current situation?"
"... In human terms, it should be called experiencing life?"
"Experience... well, I won't say much more about that."
Although Liu Bai felt that the matter was somewhat coincidental, he didn't intend to pursue it too much—after all, he needed someone's help in some way.
"Mr. The Awakened One, would you mind if we went to the corridor for a few words?"
"I don't mind."
Although this is a coincidence, it's not really the problem of the Awakened One. Humans also need to integrate into society. Simply creating relationships and backgrounds out of thin air can pose significant risks.
The Awakened One thought that he had not offended Liu Bai, so he could say whatever he wanted when he went out. In any case, people of their rank did not need to play any tricks.
