Ye Qingyun: “…”
Not hitting him, just squeezing his knowledge instead?
Truly, knowledge changes destiny—Gu Shenyuan wouldn’t lay a hand on someone educated!
Ye Qingyun finished his lesson for the day and quickly left. When he opened the door, he saw Pu Tian still lying unconscious on the ground.
Ye Qingyun stepped on Pu Tian’s foot, feeling quite satisfied as he left.
As Ye Qingyun’s figure disappeared from view, Gu Shenyuan lowered his eyelashes and pursed his lips.
He had acted impulsively, which he shouldn’t have done.
Gu Shenyuan didn’t consider himself someone who meddled in other people’s affairs, but seeing Pu Tian trample all over Ye Qingyun’s sincere feelings still made him feel uneasy.
Pu Tian was weak, morally deficient, average-looking, and frivolous in character. He was also fickle in love and overly emotional—he was utterly worthless and had no idea what Ye Qingyun saw in him.
Gu Shenyuan closed the book and frowned.
With Pu Tian around, Ye Qingyun couldn’t focus on his studies. Plus, Pu Tian always liked to sow discord, making Ye Qingyun’s attitude toward him worse.
Staying here wasn’t a good choice; the initiative lay in Pu Tian’s hands. If there came a day when Pu Tian didn’t want Ye Qingyun to continue teaching him, Ye Qingyun would leave, and he might never see Ye Qingyun again.
Gu Shenyuan furrowed his brow even deeper.
Remaining here was not a good choice; he had to find a way to take Ye Qingyun away.
Ye Qingyun closely monitored Pu Tian’s activities after he woke up, fearing that Pu Tian would become furious and secretly target Gu Shenyuan.
However, he seemed to have overestimated Pu Tian’s combat abilities. After being knocked out once, when Pu Tian saw Gu Shenyuan again, he had an expression that was a mix of anger and helplessness, unable to voice his feelings.
Ye Qingyun: “… This trashy attacker was weak; he had no spirit at all, not even half the momentum of Gu Shenyuan.”
When Pu Tian saw Ye Qingyun, he seemed to remember something and angrily said, “You’re not allowed to teach Gu Shenyuan anymore!”
Ye Qingyun easily agreed.
However, just two days later, Pu Tian, with a bruised face, found him and angrily demanded he go teach Gu Shenyuan.
Ye Qingyun: “…This loser must have gotten beaten up again.”
Ye Qingyun felt no sympathy for Pu Tian; he taught his classes as usual, and Gu Shenyuan appeared to be nothing more than a diligent student, showing no signs of violence, which temporarily eased Ye Qingyun’s worries.
Sometime later, after the looted treasures had been counted, Pu Tian decided to land on a certain planet to sell off the remaining items while restocking the supplies on the ship.
Of course, this trip had another purpose.
Gu Shenyuan had angered him, and he needed to teach him a lesson to show that he wasn’t someone to be messed with. Only by obediently listening to him could Gu Shenyuan avoid trouble.
Pu Tian recalled that day when Gu Shenyuan’s dual pressure of abilities and mental power had crushed him, leaving him breathless, as if he would be shattered into pieces at any moment. Even though he was strong enough, he had still been knocked out in an instant.
No one could remain unafraid under such pressure, and he was no exception.
Pu Tian gritted his teeth in frustration, feeling that he had been humiliated by Gu Shenyuan.
Damn it, since Gu Shenyuan valued Ye Qingyun, he would take Ye Qingyun away, making his life miserable. Then he would pin all the blame on Gu Shenyuan, causing Ye Qingyun to hate him to the core, to the point where he would rather die than speak to Gu Shenyuan again, even if forced!
Pu Tian fantasized about that scene and couldn’t help but chuckle with glee.
Moreover, after experiencing such treatment, Ye Qingyun would become distant and aloof, unwilling to let anyone close.
That would be… utterly delightful.
With all the plans proceeding rapidly, Pu Tian finally made all the necessary preparations.
Ye Qingyun heard they would be selling off treasures and also landing to explore the surface, which made him very happy.
He hadn’t gone out to play in a long time and had been busy preparing for the plot, so this time, he wanted to have a blast!
Pu Tian arranged for everyone to disembark in batches, ensuring that someone stayed behind to guard the ship and that Gu Shenyuan and Ye Qingyun wouldn’t appear in the same place at the same time, allowing his scheme to go smoothly.
He planned to use a disguise potion to impersonate Gu Shenyuan, selling Ye Qingyun to a prearranged band of space pirates.
He didn’t believe that this wouldn’t make Ye Qingyun hate Gu Shenyuan!
Ye Qingyun cheerfully followed the crew members who disembarked with him, but once those crew members got off the ship, they all flocked to certain colorful establishments. Ye Qingyun didn’t want to go to those kinds of places and ended up wandering alone.
Fortunately, this planet had a beautiful environment and good public safety, so even though he was strolling alone, he didn’t feel bored or scared.
Ye Qingyun didn’t take any narrow backroads; he stuck to the safer main roads. He bought a bizarre candy from a stall by the roadside and was happily eating it when he heard a familiar voice calling his name from behind.
Ye Qingyun turned around and saw Gu Shenyuan not far behind him.
Ye Qingyun felt a bit confused. He had checked the disembarkation list, and Gu Shenyuan wasn’t on the list of those allowed to leave the ship.
It made sense, too, since Pu Tian was in the midst of a scheme to forcibly take Gu Shenyuan away. How could he possibly arrange for Gu Shenyuan to come out and wander around, especially when he could just leave without coming back?
Although it would only take a moment for someone as strong as Gu Chenyuan to get out, he was currently showing great enthusiasm for attending Ye Qingyun’s lessons, so he probably wouldn’t want to take the opportunity to leave.
Moreover, Gu Shenyuan liked peace and didn’t enjoy wandering around.
“So why was Gu Shenyuan out here?”
Ye Qingyun felt puzzled as he looked at Gu Shenyuan, who spoke up first.
“Want to go play in the east?” Gu Shenyuan asked.
Ye Qingyun: “?”
“Why was Gu Shenyuan speaking like this? Had he taken the wrong medication?”
Seeing that Ye Qingyun didn’t respond, Gu Shenyuan frowned and continued, “I don’t have much money; can you lend me some?”
Ye Qingyun: “??”
Who did he think he was fooling? He had read the original story, and Gu Shenyuan had never been short on money.
Ye Qingyun felt that something was off about Gu Shenyuan, so he replied, “What a coincidence; I don’t have any money either.”
Gu Shenyuan fell silent for a moment before stepping closer to Ye Qingyun. He seemed oddly excited by Ye Qingyun’s refusal, and his gaze was strange.
Ye Qingyun frowned and took a few steps back.
Sometimes, he was afraid of Gu Shenyuan, but he had never thought of him as a bad person. However, this version of Gu Shenyuan made him feel… inexplicably disgusted.
Just then, a few people walked by Ye Qingyun, effectively isolating him from the outside world.
Ye Qingyun looked up at them and saw several tall men, along with a flamboyant young man who seemed quite experienced in certain matters.
They walked past casually, while Gu Shenyuan’s eyes lit up as he spotted the young man. He called out, “Wait a minute!”
The group turned around, and Gu Shenyuan grabbed Ye Qingyun’s arm, saying to them, “I’m interested in your pet. I’ll trade you this one; what do you think?”
Ye Qingyun turned back abruptly.
“No way, this person couldn’t be Gu Shenyuan!”
Inside the pirate ship.
Gu Shenyuan pushed open the slightly ajar door to Ye Qingyun’s room and found it empty.
He frowned.
He had come here wanting to go out with Ye Qingyun to prevent Pu Tian from taking him away and not allowing him to return.
But it wasn’t even time for Ye Qingyun to disembark yet. Where could he have gone?
On the corner desk lay a piece of paper. Gu Shenyuan walked over to pick it up and found that it was the disembarkation schedule.
It stated that Ye Qingyun’s disembarkation and break time had been an hour ago.
Gu Shenyuan’s expression darkened instantly.
The information he had received indicated that Ye Qingyun’s break was supposed to be in two hours.
These people had hidden this from him… and secretly taken Ye Qingyun away.
