Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Yin and Yang
Chapter 208

‘Oi.’ Wei Jun said as he opened his eyes after two weeks of constant meditation. Of course, he kept half of his attention on Liu Yu to make sure she didn’t kill him while he was busy while he did so, he also found something else.

[Yes, host]

‘That thing about the Qi energy being dense here was bulls*t wasn’t it?’ Wei Jun asked.

[…]

There was no reply from the system before the system finally said as if he had been caught trying to hide something from his best friend.

[That’s why I told you should just jump her]

[Angry wrestle and all that]

‘Why?’ Wei Jun asked.

During his meditation, as long as he kept his eye on Liu Yu, his progress was great but somewhere between his meditation, he thought of focusing on it and when he did, his speed slowed down instead of going up.

He thought it was a coincidence but after a few times, he was able to make the connection.

[Because you’re made for each other]

‘Yes. But I would like an explanation other than the Romeo and Juliet reference.’ Wei Jun said.

[Yin and Yang]

[The beginning of the cultivation world]

[Just like many other things such as life and death, good or bad, dark and light]

[Life cannot exist without death and so in the vice versa]

[However, they would never fit either]

[Ever]

[Same goes for Yin and Yang]

[They complete a cycle of completion but they tend to remain on their sides]

[In other words, when they’re together]

[They complement each other]

[But they can never mingle]

[If you get what I mean]

‘No, I don’t.’ Wei Jun straightforwardly said.

[Haaa…]

[Keep hating each other but also live your life together]

[Like an unsatisfactory marriage]

‘And what would happen if hate no longer existed?’ Wei Jun asked.

[Well, hate, or in simpler terms, not mingling is a prerequisite]

[The moment hate goes; the spark is gone]

‘So be together but hate each other as well. That’s a messed up logic.’ Wei Jun said.

[It is]

[And that also makes it rare]

[Almost impossible even]

[In my tim—-]

‘Let me guess, you had a partner as that as well?’ Wei Jun completed the sentence because the system always had done something for example.

[No the process was never made for me]

[I mean, it could have if I wasn’t born with holy Qi and would have converted to it like others]

[But I was born with it]

[I never had Yang Qi]

[Ever]

[So as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted]

[Even throughout my whole life, I had never seen such a case]

[Yours sound like it was planned]

‘Planned?’ Wei Jun suspiciously asked.

[I mean, look at her]

[All the requirements were there from the beginning]

[It was as if it wasn’t just meant to be]

‘It was made to be.’ Wei Jun said.

[Of course, that’s only my theory]

[It could have been a coincidence]

[A very, very well thought out coincidence]

Wei Jun also wasn’t going for a coincidence. And since the beginning, no matter what he did, he couldn’t just get rid of Liu Yu. Almost as if someone powerful was covering up for her.

At first, it was her butler who Wei Jun couldn’t pass. And when he went for the public approach, all his attempts were scrubbed as if Liu Yu had never been a part of any of that.

‘Someone strong seems to be covering for her.’ Wei Jun said.

[Someone connected too]

Not anyone could just scrub entire cases clean of her name. Her name wasn’t even mentioned in the media when her involvement was clearly admitted by Yao Tian and their accomplices.

[Want my guess?]

‘Right there with you.’ Wei Jun said as he realized who it was.

And just in time as well because one month was up and the door to the confined room opened from the outside.

The one to enter was none other than the sect master who entered with a smile on his face. Wei Jun remained in his spot and Liu Yu was already busy with her cultivation.

The sect master gauged both of them before he smiled and said, “I hope you two came to terms with your… feud.”

Wei Jun remained quiet and just looked at him.

The sect master smiled and said, “You’re free to go, Disciple Ruan.” The sect master turned and left.

Wei Jun only stood up and left once he was gone for good. As Wei Jun came out, he saw Lin Ruan standing out the door with a worried expression on her face.

“What is it?” Wei Jun asked.

“There’s been a problem.” Lin Ruan said and as she explained the issue, Wei Jun didn’t remain in his spot for a second and bolted for the place where the helicopter was already running.

‘Fu*k!’ He cursed inwardly but he wasn’t cursing anyone else. He was cursing himself.

*******************

“You don’t want to do this.” Xia Lu said as she sat in a seat, appearing to be calm as her captor paced around the room.

“Ha! What would you know.” Shao Chen said. There was a gun in his hand which was all he needed to kill Liu Yu.

There were police, SCF, and more agencies on the outside, trying to diffuse the situation. But to them, it only looked like a hostage situation.

But Xia Lu it wasn’t a hostage situation. He had specifically targeted her. Now if she had been targeted a few months ago, she would have believed it was for money but now, everything she owned belonged to Wei Jun on paper.

There was only one thing that could be taken from her and that was her acting and she was pretty sure Shao Chen wasn’t looking for that.

That only left one thing she was good for. To get to someone through her. And the only person who cared about her enough to almost die was Wei Jun.

And she didn’t want him to come.

“If he isn’t here after all this time, it obviously means I don’t matter much to him.” Xia Lu said, trying to talk things over. She didn’t want to die but she also didn’t want to be the reason Wei Jun died.

“He will be here.” Shao Chen said.

“How do you know for so sure?” Xia Lu argued.

“Because he said so!” Shao Chen shot at her before he pointed his gun at her and said, “Now keep that mouth of yours shut. Just because I can’t kill you, doesn’t mean I can’t hurt you.”

“What do you mean you can’t kill me?” Xia Lu asked.

“Haha.” Shao Chen chuckled as grabbed Xia Lu’s hand and said, “What part of shut up do you now understand? Huh?!”

Shao Chen grabbed her hand roughly and turned it at an odd angle…

Or at least he tried to but as soon as he was about to hurt her, he was blasted away by something white and slammed into a corner of the room.

As he slowly stood up, his own hand suddenly crackled and he screamed in pain.

“I’m sorry!”

“Forgive me!”

“It was a mistake!”

He yelled over and over again and finally after a few minutes the pain stopped. He panted on the floor as pain washed over him before a screeching sound was heard and his hand returned to normal.

“Haa… Haa…” Xia Lu looked at the panting man in front of her and one thing was for sure. Whatever was happening, she couldn’t make any sense of it.

However, one thing was for sure, he couldn’t hurt her for some reason. Shao Chen also knew that and when he looked at Xia Lu, he knew she was thinking the same.

So he stood up, took a piece of the cloth, and gagged her mouth. He knew he would lose if she were to just simply yell she couldn’t be harmed by Shao Chen so he made sure she wouldn’t be able to warn anyone. Especially, not Wei Jun who would be dealing with the stress that Xia Lu was in the hands of danger.

Once he was done, he simply waited. He could tell he wouldn’t have to wait for long either because the voice just told him that Wei Jun arrived outside the building.

“So what do I do then?” Shao Chen asked. He didn’t who the voice belonged to because all he could hear was a screech but whenever he heard it, it was as if he knew what it meant and what he would have to do.

And after hearing another such sound, he smiled and said, “So I just have to kill him and you will bring them back. All of them, right?”

Another screech was heard and Shao Chen stood up, determined than ever to kill Wei Jun. He looked down the window and after waiting for just two minutes, he was Wei Jun making his way to the building.
