Chapter 0199 – Do I look like someone who is going to have something taken away from me – Absolute Returns

Takayuki asked without looking up as he sat at his desk, flipping through papers:

“Bishop, is there something on your mind lately?”

Sect Leader Windy Sky stood by the window and looked out.

“What can I have on my mind? Why do you ask all of a sudden?”

The two of them, were running around all over the Central Plains, establishing an intelligence network. Gao Yue was responsible for coordinating the whole situation, while Sect Leader Feng Tian was responsible for protecting his safety as well as dealing with some trivial matters, which was relatively free.

“I look at you, like you have something on your mind.”

“What could be on my mind when I’m so free?”

“The busier you are, the more likely you are to have things on your mind.”

“I really don’t.”

Sect Leader Windy Sky’s tone was firm, and Takayuki put down the paper and looked up at him. How could there not be? Sect Leader Windy Sky looked out the window, his brows furrowed, obviously preoccupied.

“Are you tired?”

“Not tired.”

“I’m tired.”

Gao Yue’s words caused Sect Leader Feng Tian to turn around. Gao Yue said seriously:

“I’m really tired, and if you hadn’t helped me, I wouldn’t have been able to hold out.”

“Who told you to be so desperate? When did you become so loyal?”

“Is it too late for me to start slacking off?”

“Do you give up?”

Sect Leader Windsky turned around once again and looked out the window.

“I should be the one to say that. You today, why don’t you look like you at all?”

“What am I supposed to look like? Forget it, you’re definitely going to be sarcastic again and I don’t want to hear it.”

How could Takayuki let this opportunity pass?

“You’re a person who is petty on the surface, but actually has a big heart; who is hangdog on the surface, but actually has a big heart; who is sarcastic on the surface, but actually has a delicate heart. This, is the real you.”

“Hmph! You’re saying the opposite, aren’t you? You’re calling me petty, lazy, and mean, aren’t you?”

“And, you’re smart!”

Sect Leader Windy Sky blanked him, if it were usual, she would have retorted long ago. But now, she just quietly looked out the window. Gao Yue stood up and walked to her side.

“You’re not homesick, are you?”

“Speaking of homesickness, I realized this time that I don’t like my hometown at all. I don’t feel homesick at all, and I don’t want to go back. Maybe, when I’m dying, I’ll go back and visit, but right now, I definitely won’t go back.”

“You’re not homesick, so what’s wrong with you?”

Sect Master Windsky wanted to speak, as if she had something difficult to say. She digressed and asked:

“Why hasn’t Jian Wuji come yet? Are you sure you informed him?”

“He’s busy.”

“Busy? We were abandoned by him, weren’t we? He thought of us after he was busy with his own business, didn’t he? Hmph, what does he think we are? Tools to be used when called upon?”

“If that’s true, then we’re investing too much in him, aren’t we?”

They have spent a lot of money in order to establish the intelligence network, but the intelligence network, before it is fully established, the funds, are about to run out.

“He’s got a lot of money.”

“Godfather, what’s wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood because you failed to lose weight?”

“Hmph! I can lose weight in a month if I set my mind to it!”

“You said the same thing a month ago.”

“Too old and too skinny to look good.”

“You’re good-looking enough.”

Sect Leader Windy Sky glared at him, and Gao Yue hurriedly compensated with a smile.

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

Sect Leader Windsky hesitated for a moment and said:

“No laughing at me if you say it.”

“Go ahead and tell me.”

“I promise not to laugh at you, it’s impossible.”

Sect Leader Windsky finally spoke, her heart.

“Do you remember that Shi Chong we met, some time ago?”

“Remember.”

In order to establish an intelligence network, they had to come into contact with all sorts of people, which, naturally, included people like Shi Chong.

“That guy, he spoke out against me the other day and was rude.”

Gao Yue nodded. If Shi Chong knew, the true identity and strength of Sect Leader Feng Tian, how would he dare to be so unbridled? He only took Sect Leader Feng Tian, as a rich, wealthy woman, so he dared to show off in front of her, relying on the fact that he knew some martial arts.

“You were, at the time, in a good temper.”

“The more I think about it, the angrier I get… I should have, at that time, taught him a hard lesson. Even if I didn’t teach him a lesson, I should have, well, lectured him. But at that time, I just wanted to put things to rest, so I endured it. But now, the more I think about it, the more I regret it.”

In her heart, Sect Leader Feng Tian had already killed Shi Chong countless times. In fact, Shi Chong hadn’t made any major mistakes, but she just couldn’t help it and wanted to kill him.

“Do you remember, the one we met before, the ugly-looking guy? I, at that time, held back and didn’t get angry. But this time, I just can’t hold it in anymore. I know, I’m very petty, you don’t need to remind me. But I just can’t help it, I want to get back at him, what should I do?”

“I understand.”

“You understand?”

“That guy, he does deserve a beating, and if you had hit him then, I wouldn’t have stopped you.”

“Really?”

Sect Leader Windsky was instantly beaming with joy.

“So I’m supposed to go beat the shit out of him? I’ll go right now and beat the shit out of him?”

Gao Yue quietly looked at her and did not say anything. Sect Leader Windy Sky calmed down and said:

“If you want to say something, just say it.”

“Nothing.”

“You say!”

“Everyone is like that, you used to, be the sect leader, so no one dared to offend you. But now, you’re just an ordinary person, and you have to learn to endure as well. Not everyone, like Sword Wuji, can beat up whoever they want and kill whoever they want.”

“You’re trying to say that only Sword Wuji can live as he pleases, right?”

“You’re the same, you used to be, didn’t you? You’ve only just learned to be patient, you’re not used to it yet, are you?”

Sect Leader Windsky nodded, seeming to realize this as well.

Gao Yue understood her pain, she used to be, well-dressed and calling the shots, but now, she had to be like a maid, serving others and putting up with their rudeness, it was indeed a torture for her. Therefore, he always couldn’t help but think:

“In my past life, I must have owed her.”

He walked over to the Windy Sky Sect Leader and looked out the window with her.

“You’re not being petty, you’re just holding it inside.”

“Holding back?”

“This thing we’re doing now is a whole new challenge for you. You have to come into contact with all sorts of people and deal with all sorts of trivial things, things that, although they may seem insignificant, can cause you, to accumulate a lot of negative emotions. You’ve been putting up with it for me, and I really appreciate it.”

“I’m happy that you understand me. I feel much better after saying it.”

“In the future, don’t hold back, fight if you want to.”

“I don’t want it, I still have to endure it. Since I was born petty, I can only work on it later. I’m going to die anyway, and I don’t want to let myself, live as a wimp.”

Takayuki looked at her, her eyes, full of determination.

“Why don’t you curse Sword Wuji a few times and vent?”

“Is it really okay?”

“Curse, curse hard!”

Sect Leader Windsky instantly came to life and cursed loudly:

“Jian Wuji, you lazy bastard! If I tell you to come, come quickly, what’s the point of dawdling? Have you forgotten us? If you dare forget us, I’ll throw you into the fish pond and feed you to the fish! Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re still the young master of the Heavenly Devil Temple? We’re doing fine now, we don’t need you! You villain! You ugly bastard! You’re a guy who can only cheat people with his light kung fu! Ah, I feel much more comfortable after cursing out. Gao Yue, come and curse too, I guarantee you’ll feel refreshed! Sure enough, it’s still cursing Sword Wuji that’s the most relieving!”

Takayuki suddenly changed his expression to a serious one and said:

“Sect Leader, how can you denigrate the Young Lord in such a manner?”

“Hmm?”

Sect Leader Windy Sky froze, not understanding why Gao Yue, suddenly changed her face. She sensed that there was someone behind her.

She slowly turned around, only to see that Jian Wuji, at some point, was already standing behind her.

“Are you guys badmouthing me again?”

Why is it that every time, he catches you in the act? Last time, it was the same. Sect Leader Windy Sky was a bit embarrassed, but she still said with a stiff upper lip:

“Jian Wu Ji, can you change your godly behavior? Although, even if you were present, I would still say these words ……”
