Chapter 861 - Yu Shi
After Crystal walked out of the bathroom, a voice suddenly rang out. "Where were you yesterday?"
Crystal was startled and immediately made a fighting stance. At that time, she instantly forgot that she was only wearing a towel.
??
However, when she saw the person who had just spoken, Crystal let out a sigh of relief.
'Sigh. She always appears out of nowhere.'
Crystal's expression instantly turned normal.
In front of her, an old woman about sixty years old was sitting on the couch. She was sipping her tea and behaving as if it was her apartment.
That old woman was Yu Shi, Crystal's martial arts teacher.
After Crystal sat next to her, she inquired, "Master, when did you arrive? And what are you doing in my apartment? Can you stop appearing out of nowhere like this? You can give me a heart attack, you know?"
Crystal instantly threw out many questions at once. Even though she always told her master to stop appearing out of nowhere, but her master kept doing it.
"It seems like your instinct is getting worse nowadays." Like before, Yu Shi was sipping her tea. "If I were your enemy, you would have been death by now. A martial artist should always pay attention to their surroundings, especially an assassin like us. When I was young, my master always tra-"
Crystal instantly interrupted her master's words. "Master, disciple understands it. Can you tell me the reason why you are here?"
'If I don't stop her, she will keep talking about her past for more than thirty minutes like usual.'
Crystal had heard her master's story countless times. That was why she instantly interrupted Yu Shi's words because she didn't want to listen to it again.
In the past, every time she made a mistake or let her guard down, Yu Shi would tell her how hard she practiced martial arts.
At first, Crystal listened to her master's story with shining eyes. However, she soon grew tired of her master's story because Yu Shi kept telling the same story over and over again.
Due to how often Yu Shi told her about it, she even knew every single word Yu Shi was about to say.
"You, ungrateful disciple! How could you stop your Master when she was about to tell you something important?" even though Yu Shi raised her voice a little, she was not angry at Crystal.
Crystal was her favorite disciple, and Yu Shi had a high hope in Crystal. Not only was Crystal young and talented, but she could even learn everything from Yu Shi quickly. That was why Crystal was special to her.
"Where were you yesterday?" Yu Shi repeated her previous question.
"I was at Xiao Tian's apartment." Crystal decided to give an honest answer because she was afraid of the consequences if she lied to her master.
The expression of deep shock blossomed on Yu Shi's face.
'Xiao Tian?'
Of course, Yu Shi knew who Xiao Tian was because he was pretty famous now.
"What were you doing in his apartment?" Yu Shi remembered that her disciple had no relationship with Xiao Tian, so she wanted to know the reason why Crystal was at Xiao Tian's apartment.
At this moment, Crystal wavered whether she should tell Yu Shi the truth or not.
'What should I do?'

Crystal was afraid that her master would do something bad to Xiao Tian if Yu Shi knew the truth. Xiao Tian was now her friend, so she didn't want something bad to happen to him.
Because Crystal didn't say anything, Yu Shi asked again, "Why didn't you say anything?"
"Master, actually…." Crystal didn't know how to explain everything.
For this reason, she could not finish her words. She was afraid that she would say the wrong words, which could harm Xiao Tian.
"Actually, what?! Then let me change my question. Does he know who you are?" Yu Shi inquired,
They were assassins, so they had to keep hiding their true identities because the consequences would be fatal if anyone found out who they were.
Like before, Crystal didn't know what to say. She wanted to lie to her master, but she knew that her master would know about it later.
Yu Shi was good at gathering information, so Crystal decided not to say anything.
'What should I do? Xiao Tian already knows who I am, and I even told him my real name.'
At this moment, Crystal suddenly regretted telling Xiao Tian her real name because her actions would put him in danger.
"Since you didn't say anything, then I assume he already knows who you are." Yu Shi spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "Do you know that you just made a big mistake? We are assassins so we have to hide our real identity."
Like before, Crystal didn't say anything. She kept her head down because she knew that she had made a big mistake.
However, she really wanted to be friends with Xiao Tian. The beautiful memories they had when they lived in the forest made her unable to kill Xiao Tian and want to be friends with him even more.
"Now I will give you two choices. First, you kill him yourself, or secondly, I will kill him." Since Xiao Tian knew who Crystal was, Yu Shi had no choice but to kill him.
It was dangerous if Xiao Tian told everyone who they were. They were assassins and had made many enemies, so if everyone found out who they were, there was a high possibility that they would die later.
Upon hearing Yu Shi's words, Crystal instantly held Yu Shi's hands. "Master, can we let him go? He is my first friend. I don't want him to get hurt."
Since she was little, Crystal always practiced martial arts. She had no time for something like friends. Because of that, she was always envious whenever she saw people talking happily or hanging out with their friends.
Deep inside her, she always desired a friend. That was why she was pleased when she befriended Xiao Tian.
However, she could not blame Yu Shi because she thought of Yu Shi as her mother. When she was little, her parents passed away, and Yu Shi was the one who took care of her.
Yes. Yu Shi had been taking care of her since she was little, so there was no way she would blame Yu Shi for everything.
If it were not for Yu Shi, she would have been dead on the road. "Please."
Yu Shi's expression turned soft when she saw Crystal's face. "Crystal, I can allow you to befriend other people but they should not know about your real identity because it could be fatal for you. You must understand that I am doing this for you, for us."
"Can you make an exception?" of course, Crystal didn't give up because she didn't want Xiao Tian to die. "If it were not for him, I would have been death yesterday."
"No!" Yu Shi answered instantly. "If you don't want to do it, I'll be the one to kill him."
Crystal gritted her teeth. She then took the daggers that were hidden under the sofa table. "No! I won't let you hurt him!"
Because she didn't want anything bad to happen to Xiao Tian, Crystal decided to fight her Master.
"Do you really want to fight your master?" Yu Shi inquired.
