"I was thinking of going to meditate to break into the second stage. I hope senior will take care of my disciples until I am gone."
Yantu stopped as he heard what his teacher said to the second leader Wei.
Why she wanted to leave? She was strong and she did not need to prove it to anyone. He was going to learn the cultivation technique from that man and was going to protect her.
"Teacher..." A whisper escaped from his mouth gaining attention from Gege.
She turned and glanced at him. The boy looked sad and gloomy. Was she successful in winning his heart? May be he would not kill her later.
"Ah, Yantu.
Come here." She motioned him to move near her while he walked towards her with slow steps.
"Senior, please take care of him."
She gently patted his head while Yantu bowed his head trying to hide his broken expressions.
"Teacher, don't leave us alone." She heard a cry and wanted to roll her eyes. Chan was the biggest crybaby among her disciples.
"And also him." She flicked on the forehead of the chubby boy who already started crying. Sometimes she thinks Chan was the best match to her. A perfect sidekick to a villain.
After settling everything, she moved to the nearby mountain where everyone used to meditate before they break into new stage. As during this time, a person was at their weakest point and can be harmed easily so the place was needed to be in secure position. No one except people from Hwa sect can go there.
She reached there and as she was entered inside she could feel an energy running wildly in the big cave.
"Was not this...?"
She thought and moved aside quickly as a sword attached her. She looked at the man whose hair were flying in the air and his eyes were red. He looked like a maniac but a handsome maniac.
Gege shook her head as it was not the time to think about the handsomeness of her senior. The man was Sheng who was in the same batch as with Wei. In the original novel, he was killed by Gege at this same time and later on this was also the reason of her bad reputation.
"Senior, it's me. Wake up."
She tried to save herself but the attacks were fierce. He could not recognize anyone right now. Moreover Gege never had any friendly relationship with him as she had with Wei.
She did not attack him but only kept dodging his attacks.
"Senior wake up. Wake up you idiot..." She dodge his attack making him lose his balance. He moved forward while Gege hit her sword on the backside of his head.
The man looked confused and then he fell flat on the ground. Gege carefully moved closer to him and looked at his face which was covered by dust.
"Oh please don't be dead."
She cried and sat down as she touched the neck of the unconscious man. He was breathing and it was enough for her to be relax.
She went through her bag and took out a water bottle and a cloth. She wet the cloth with cold water and put it on the forehead of the man. She then placed her hand over the forehead and closed her eyes while she transferred energy to the man.
The man opened his eyes slowly and groaned feeling a pain from the backside of his neck. He looked up as he felt something over his forehead and his eyes fell on a woman.
He knitted his brows and pushed her hand away from his forehead as he sat up.
"Oh, senior. Finally you woke up."Gege replied and stood up.
"You were gone crazy during your meditation so I helped you a little. Sorry for hitting you a little hard but you are still alive."
Sheng tried to recall the memories as it seemed like she was right. But why would she save him. Doesn't she hate him?
"I will go now. I am trying to break into the second stage of seventh level."
She smiled politely and picked her stuff as she walked further inside to find a better place for her while Sheng was still confused over her behavior.
He thought for a second and stood up.
"Thank you for saving my life. I will not forget about what you did for me." He told her with a straight face.
Gege turned towards him knowing that when protagonist will try to kill her than this man can be of help. She was creating an army of trustworthy people so she could live. The original character had conflicts with everyone but she was trying to be on good terms with everyone.
"Is senior leaving now?"
Sheng gave her a nod as he was successful in entering the third stage of seventh level and now he had to wait for a few years to break into eight level.
"Then senior can buy me some rice cakes once I am back. In this way, we both can be equal." She smiled.
"Ding.
The host should not flirt with others."
"Shut up. Don't you see how handsome he is. Ah I never had anyone on my life."
Gege scolded the system that just spoiled her mood.
"That will be great." She heard a voice and looked at the man who turned and left the cave before Gege could notice his red ears. It was bold of her asking her senior to buy food not knowing what it actually meant.
After Sheng left, Gege also walked inside the cave. She needed to learn more so she could also save herself. The protagonist was obedient to her but still she did not want to take any chance.
