Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 929: [Bonus chapter] Not My Day

As Ru turned to leave with his attention on the drone he held, Hyson followed behind instinctively. Not even looking up, Ru knew that he was following behind her maintaining an appropriate distance. With a devilish twinkle in his eyes, he asked, "Do you want me to lead you back to your resting quarters? I assure you, I'm capable of fighting any ghost."         

    

Hyson puffed up his cheek and humphed.     

"By the way, Kiddo, how do you know that the tree spirit is a male? It could be a female as well."     

Hyson lowered his head and didn't say anything. He had been calling Mr. Tree Spirit but Ru was right. It could be a Miss Tree Spirit as well.     

"It could be," mumbled Hyson in a small voice.     

But Ru's sharp senses actually heard it and he abruptly stopped. Turning around, he looked at Hyson, "You actually fell for that?"     

Hyson refused to reply to that and said, "Whether Mr. or Ms. I was still trying to be respectful!"     

"And do you think by doing that, your wish will be granted?" asked Ru in interest.     

Hyson's face fell as he said, "It'd be great if it is granted. Or should I promise to burn incense diligently?"     

"Wow! You must be the first one who is thinking about bribing the spirits now." Ru didn't continue down this line and instead said, "It seems you remember me."     

"My memory is still very good," he replied. "And besides, I don't think you're that easy to forget."     

Ru raised a brow at him and said narcissistically, "Indeed. This Young Master is certainly difficult to forget. People end up remembering me for life." Either as a dream or as a nightmare. Of course, he kept the last sentence to himself. But Hyson could tell there was more to that sentence than what he just heard.     

He turned around and started walking towards his quarters. Hyson was still following without realizing it. Well, in his opinion, they were going to the resting quarters and he'd find Raelle and Shui Xian there. But he didn't know that the young master before him actually had his own separate place to live in this temple.     

It was only after entering the courtyard, did Hyson frown.      

As someone was about to step up from the shadows to stop him, one look from Ru stopped that person and go back into the shadows. Hyson looked around the courtyard and found that Ru entered a room with the drone still in his hands.      

Once he stood at the door of the room, he was shocked to see so many mechanical parts scattered on the table. Two computer screens were also lit up showing a complex algorithm. He didn't understand that at all. He was contemplating whether to enter or not.     

"You can just come inside," said Ru.     

"Shouldn't you be guarded against a stranger who followed you?" asked Hyson.     

"Between the two of us, you should be more careful. I look like the tiger luring the little sheep like you into my den," remarked Ru. "Also, how do you know I'm not guarded? It's just that you seem very harmless."     

"Maybe that's just a facade," Hyson pointed out.     

Ru chuckled, "Sure it is."     

"You don't believe it?"     

"People who wear facades don't talk about it," replied Ru. "But the real question is, why are you following me?"     

"Because I don't want to go back to be the third wheel," he muttered. Even though Ru heard that he didn't pursue that topic at all.      

"Then take a seat," offered Ru as he turned on a lamp and picked up tools to dismantle the drone he had carried in. Seeing how attentively Ru was working, Hyson also paid full attention to what he was doing.     

"I thought there was no electricity here," commented Hyson offhandedly.         

    

"There isn't," answered Ru while working on the parts in his hands nimbly. Before Hyson could ask why his computers and stuff were working, Ru continued, "I have my own solar supplies for electricity."     

"Last time, we met at a bar while you were mixing drinks. And now, we are here at a temple. Don't you think this equation is wrong?"     

"Why? One is a place of indulgence and the other is a place of worship. Both shouldn't even be on the same spectrum and yet you met the same person at both places. Kind of hard to believe, right?"     

Hyson nodded his head, "I really never thought I'd see you here."     

"Life works on uncertainties," said Ru. "You should be used to it by now." Taking a pause, he added, "Also, there is no rule that a person who visits a place of debauchery can't be found at temples. There are always two sides to a person. For instance, a murderer likes to brutally kill his victims but the same murderer has been raising countless orphans all on his own. Now, tell me, is he a bad person or a good person?"     

Hyson was silent for a while before saying, "He is wrong for killing people but he is also good for providing for children. But the law will punish him for murder."     

"Exactly!" said Ru. "Why? Because we as humans like to see the worst of others first. We don't wanna see the goodness. No matter what you do, your focus will always be on the bad aspect of life."     

"I never thought about it this way," said Hyson.     

"Of course, you didn't. You're still young. You'll get there."     

Hyson cupped his face as he stared at Ru working and couldn't help commenting, "I don't think you're an easygoing person. Why have you been so easy to talk to with me?"     

"Should I be offended? I'm certainly the most gentlemanly person you'd find around here," claimed young master Ru shamelessly.     

"Nope," said Hyson. "You're not what you appear to be."     

Ru chuckled, "Today really isn't my day." He even shook his head. He really should have checked the almanac today. Why was he running into so honest people all of a sudden?
