My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 21

Ch 21: Have You Thought It Through?

Gu Yang said in a calm tone, “Don’t you understand? In this world, nothing is a given. If you want something, you have to pay the corresponding price.”

Upon hearing his words, Su Qingzhi’s body trembled, and her face turned pale.

She bit her lip hard, and after a while, she straightened her body again, forcefully wiping away the tears on her face, and sneered, “So, you and the likes of Over the Mountain Wind are all the same…”

“Heh!”

Gu Yang chuckled twice, “Although you have some beauty, this self-righteous look, as if the whole world owes you something, is really disgusting. I have no interest in you.”

Su Qingzhi never expected that he would say such words. Her head was buzzing, her eyes became dull, and she almost lost her balance in her despair.

The nearby Zhixing quickly grabbed her to support her. Seeing the two of them arguing so fiercely, she was both anxious and scared, and was about to cry.

On one side was her own young miss.

On the other side was her life-saving benefactor, Brother Gu, who treated her very well.

She really didn’t know what to do.

After Gu Yang finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

Zhang Xiaohai in the corner was still concentrating on practicing his martial arts, completely unaware of the conflict here.

A crackling sound suddenly came from the fire, breaking the silence in the dilapidated temple.

Seeing that Gu Yang no longer spoke, the little maid finally breathed a sigh of relief. She helped her young miss sit down. Seeing her bury her face in her knees, not saying a word, she was very worried.

◈◈◈

The night quietly passed in such silence.

As the sky just turned a fish-belly white, Zhang Xiaohai woke up. Just as he was about to sit up to practice, he saw Su Qingzhi suddenly stand up and walk towards Gu Yang.

“What does she want to do?”

He was very curious.

When he first saw the true face of this Miss Su, Zhang Xiaohai was also stunned. He never imagined that there would be such a beautiful woman in the world, as if a fairy had descended from heaven.

His meager imagination could only use the word fairy to describe her.

He considered this descended fairy to be his future master’s wife, and he was also very respectful to her. However, along the way, she had never looked at him directly.

This was not surprising. These days, she had been having a conflict with Gu Yang, and she was also cold to Gu Yang.

Just as Zhang Xiaohai was thinking, he saw Su Qingzhi walk in front of Gu Yang and suddenly kneel down.

No way?

He thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes to look again. Seeing that she was indeed kneeling, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

After interacting with her these days, Zhang Xiaohai could also tell that this fairy-like young miss must have come from some prominent family. He had seen too many of those arrogant and superior attitudes.

Now, this proud young miss from a prominent family would actually kneel down to Gu Yang.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Xiaohai wouldn’t have dared to believe it.

Then, Gu Yang’s voice sounded, “What are you doing?”

“I want to practice martial arts!”

Su Qingzhi’s voice was very soft, but her tone was unusually firm, “I know you can help me. As long as I can become a martial artist, no matter what conditions, I will… agree to them.”

So it was for learning martial arts!

Zhang Xiaohai suddenly understood. He could understand this point.

If you want to become a disciple, you naturally have to kneel. There is nothing shameful about this. However, it took her so many days to make up her mind. That was too slow.

She wasted so much time.

He only heard Gu Yang say, “Have you thought it through?”

“I’ve thought it through!”

“Okay. I can help you. The condition is, you have to be my maidservant.”

Maidservant?

Zhang Xiaohai was a little surprised when he heard Gu Yang make such a condition.

He originally thought that Gu Yang would ask her to pledge herself to him. But he never expected that it would be to be a maidservant.

Could it be that Master doesn’t even want to give her a title?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohai couldn’t help but gasp.

◈◈◈

Su Qingzhi suddenly raised her head, exclaiming, “What?”

◈◈◈

“You heard right, I want you to be my maidservant.” Gu Yang repeated, “How Zhixing usually serves you, you will serve me the same way. Can you do it?”

Su Qingzhi stared intently at the man in front of her, her heart filled with humiliation, grievance, anger, sadness… all kinds of emotions filled her chest.

She had already gone to this extent, retreating again and again, and he still wanted to humiliate her like this.

Why is he treating me like this?

Her teeth were about to be crushed, and she couldn’t wait to pounce on him and die with him.

“From now on, when I sit, you can only stand. When I eat, you have to pick food for me. When I’m hot, you have to fan me. When I’m cold, you have to help me put on clothes…”

Gu Yang’s voice continued to come over.

“In exchange, I will help you resolve the hidden dangers in your body, and pass on my cultivation techniques to you, without any reservations…”

“…Don’t worry, during this period, I won’t touch you. I said, I have no interest in you.”

“Consider it, when you’ve thought it through, give me an answer.”

“No need to consider it.”

In a daze, Su Qingzhi heard her own voice, her tone devoid of any emotion, “I agree.”

◈◈◈

Gu Yang was stunned when he saw that Su Qingzhi had actually agreed to it so readily.

To be honest, he made such a condition just to make things difficult for her on purpose. He was just waiting for Zhixing to come and beg for mercy, and then he would go along with the flow and change to another condition.

Like taking tens of thousands of taels as tuition fees. If she didn’t have the money now, it was okay, she could write an IOU.

This was called asking for the sky-high price, and then settling for a reasonable one.

But he never expected that she would actually agree. Without even trying to bargain.

This time, Gu Yang was completely stumped.

For a moment, he didn’t know how to react.

◈◈◈

Seeing that Su Qingzhi had actually agreed, Zhang Xiaohai was filled with admiration.

As expected of Master, he was too powerful. With a few tricks, he had this fairy-like young miss completely subdued. She was even willing to be a maidservant.

However, he really couldn’t understand. Yesterday, Su Qingzhi was still so cold. How did she change like this overnight?

What kind of magic did Master cast on her?

“If I could learn Master’s skill, that would be great.”

A trace of anticipation arose in Zhang Xiaohai’s heart.

◈◈◈

After a moment, Gu Yang finally spoke, he couldn’t just keep standing there, he said, “You should get up first.”

Su Qingzhi stood up as instructed, keeping her head down.

Gu Yang looked at her submissive appearance, knowing that what he said last night must have given her a great shock. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have changed so much overnight.

He did feel a little bit of regret. What he said last night seemed a bit excessive.

He said, “I want to wash up.”

Su Qingzhi turned and walked out. After a while, she came back with a basin of water. After wringing out a towel, she handed it to him.

Seeing that her expression was blank, Gu Yang said, “The way you look so unwilling, it doesn’t look like a maidservant.”

Su Qingzhi gripped the towel in her hand tightly, lowering her head even further. Her voice was a little choked, “I’m… sorry.”

She’s not even turning her back on me?

Gu Yang had a bit of a headache. What good was a maidservant to him? This young miss, it was obvious that she didn’t know how to serve people.
