Chapter 1033: A Seven Day Holiday

There is a saying that says it is easier to dodge a gunshot in the open than an arrow fired from the shadows.
If an enemy was standing across you and stabbed you with a knife, there was still a window of opportunity for you to retaliate. Compare this to an attacker who operated in the dark. You would not even know where an attack would be coming from.
In such a precarious situation whereby they had no clear understanding of who the enemy or what his intentions were, Mu Zi Xian was highly troubled. She was highly distressed that Wang Yu was the target of an unknown enemy.
However, Wang Yu simply shrugged these concerns off with a smile, “It is no big deal. They can just scold me however much they like. I shall just treat these comments as compliments.”
Mu Zixian, “…”
It was expected that we slowly take on the quirks and mannerisms of the people closest to us. After spending so much time with the members of Quan Zhen Sect, Wang Yu gradually learnt to take criticism in his stride, not letting these comments affect his state of mind.
He was basically like one of the other Quan Zhen Sect fellas who loved taking scoldings as compliments.
Seeing the positive transformation in Wang Yu, Mu Zi Xian did not feel any feelings of discomfort but instead felt greater feelings of attraction to the current Wang Yu.
It seemed that it was true that women were attracted to bad boys after all.
As for those female students that happened to consider themselves as good girls, this was an important lesson by teacher Iron Bull.
However, Mu Zi Xian also liked the previous Wang Yu. He was simple-minded but still possessed a handsome figure and was well versed in martial arts.
At this moment, the doorbell rang and interrupted the sweet moment between the couple.
“I’m coming!”
Not waiting for Mu Zi Xian to get up to open the door, the moment Wang Yu opened the door, a voice was heard. “Aiya, Sister Nuonuo, how come you are here so quickly?”
“?? What is she doing here?”
Hearing that the woman at the door was Yang Nuo, Wang Yu was taken aback. Yang Nuo asked, “You dare to open the door in this state? What if it was a courier instead?”
“…” Wang Yu was speechless as he returned to his seat, beckoning Mu Zi Xian to entertain the guest.
This man had a bad habit of running about clad only in his underwear.
Mu Zi Xian quickly interjected, “Little Nuo is way too fast. I haven’t even packed my things after being so preoccupied with browsing the forum.”
“???”
Wang Yu asked, “What are the two of you up to this time?”
Mu Zi Xian pulled open the cupboard and retrieved a few of her clothing as she answered, “It is not just the two of us, you are included!”
“Us? Where are we going?”
“The system is going to take a week to update after all, so we have made plans to go out for a few days.” Mu Zi Xian said as she tossed over a set of new clothing over to Wang Yu. “Quick, go wash up and put these on.”
Wang Yu took the clothes and answered with a face of reluctance, “How come I do not have any recollection about any plans?”
“Do you need to know?” Mu Zi Xian turned towards Wang Yu and demanded.
“No… there is no need to. I am just asking.” Wang Yu hurriedly shook his head and changed into the new clothing as he inquired, “Is Fearless and the rest going?”
It was not that Wang Yu wanted everyone to go out together but it just seemed natural that Wang Yu and Mu Zi Xian went out alone together.
However, Mu Zi Xian had already called Li Xue and Yang Nuo along…
Wang Yu felt feelings of embarrassment at the thought of a grown man going out to play with a group of women. He had always considered himself a righteous gentleman and would not bear to see himself lowering himself to such a level.
Thus, it was imperative that he called a few other companions along.
“They are not going. Why would I ask them along when I am bringing the girls?” Mu Zi Xian said simply.
“I am also not a lady… If you want me to go along with you ladies alone, I shall not go,” Wang Yu steeled himself not to cry as he replied.
“Alright, alright…”
Mu Zi Xian was such an understanding partner and she knew immediately what Wang Yu’s concerns were. She directed him, “Go and inform them to meet at Jiang Bei City tomorrow.”
“Jiang Bei City?” Hearing these three words, Wang Yu was in shock as he head almost exploded, “Who chose this place?”
When one went out to travel, it was mainly to visit places of interest or to visit picturesque landscapes. Jiang Bei City was just a quaint small town with nothing much to do. Wang Yu was worried he might meet members of the Li Family that resided in that city.
The Li Family was extremely high profile in Jiang Bei City and they had an extensive foothold in many of its local industries.
“Little Nuo. She said she wanted to see pear flowers…” Mu Zi Xian retorted.
Wang Yu, “…”
After the Qing Ming dynasty, Jiang Bei grew more famous for their splendid array of pear flowers blooming in season. Wang Yu had this lingering thought that Yang Nuo was trying to find trouble for him.
“What happened to you?” Mu Zi Xian could not help but notice the color drain from Wang Yu’s face.
“It’s… it’s nothing. I shall give Fearless and the others a call.” Wang Yu quickly downplayed the matter.
Other than Ming Du, the rest of Quan Zhen Sect had relatively flexible working hours. They were actually stressing about how they were going to best make use of these seven days. Thus, they were elated when they were invited.
Even Ming Du who was often preoccupied with work replied that he was agreeable to the arrangements.
“Oh? Are you not working?” Wang Yu asked.
“It’s nothing much. I shall give my boss a big red envelope in view of my absence.” Ming Du’s way of doing things was indeed startling.
Seeing that Ming Du was so adept at manipulating his boss, it was probably not the first time that he had done it.
As Wang Yu slowly contacted the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect, Mu Zi Xian tidied her things and did her makeup.
Upon finishing, she left the room.
At this time, the other girls had also finished packing and they were casually sitting in the living room engaging in conversation.
“They are all done. Quick, come out!” Seeing that everyone wore so prim and proper, Mu Zi Xian dashed into the room and shouted. Wang Yu blushed in embarrassment as he shot a look towards Mary, “You better pay attention next time!”
“F*ck!” Mary looked towards Mu Zi Xian and asked, exasperated, “Has this guy never gone to the beach before? Wouldn’t he be even more embarrassed if he saw women clad in bikinis?”
Everyone was flabbergasted.
This lady’s way of thinking was so liberal. There was still a difference in wearing a swimsuit and wearing underwear after all.
