I Have A Sword

Chapter 392: Get Lost

Ye Guan’s Sword Intent was instantly suppressed, astonishing him. His expression changed to that of fury as he exclaimed, "How impudent! Do you not know who I am?!"

Boom!

A mysterious force struck him, causing him to see stars.

"Fuck!" Ye Guan cursed and promptly lost consciousness.

...

There was a man wearing a white shirt and a plain-skirt lady enjoying a movie somewhere. The plain-skirt lady suddenly said, "To not be disheartened in the face of adversity and to have the courage to start anew... How surprising."

"So you think he's pretty great?" asked the man wearing a white shirt.

"Yup!" replied the plain-skirt lady.

"Well, he's my son," the white-shirt man replied with a grin.

The plain-skirt lady grinned as well, and her smile looked so bright in the white-shirt man's eyes that it made the latter's world go dim.

...

A young woman was in the middle of setting up her stall on a pedestrian bridge. She suddenly looked up to stare somewhere.

"Cizhen, what are you looking at?" someone asked.

Cizhen smiled and said, "Someone has created a rather interesting intent..."

"What kind of intent?"

Cizhen merely smiled to herself and continued on setting up her stall.

...

A man was standing at the entrance of a temple somewhere on Mount Fanjing. He looked up at the sky and muttered, "It seems that I've underestimated you."

Then, he looked in another direction and added, "I don’t mind that you’re suppressing me, but can you at least give me something to eat?"

It had been months since he had eaten or had drunk anything.

"Hm?" a voice abruptly echoed outside the temple.

"Fine! I’m not going to eat anything, then!" the man exclaimed and ran away.

...

Someone outside the Blue Planet suddenly looked down at the planet.

...

Ye Guan woke up, looking a bit tired after getting hit by that mysterious force last night.

Just then, Su Zi walked out of her room.

She was dressed a lot more conservatively than yesterday. She wore a white inner T-shirt and a knit cardigan over it. She paired it with light blue jeans, which showcased her excellent figure without showing any skin. She looked less sexy but more casual than yesterday.

"Let’s go!" she said to Ye Guan.

"Alright!" Ye Guan said with a nod and stood up.

The two walked out of the apartment, and they attracted quite a few gazes.

Ye Guan wore his long, black robe, but no one found it strange. Nowadays, many people had gotten into the hobby of cosplaying; in fact, one could even find a few women and men walking down the street in such clothing.

However, the reason they attracted many gazes was their good looks; they seemed like a match made in heaven, but the two didn't say a word to each other as they walked down the streets.

Soon, they arrived at a quite luxurious clothing store.

A woman welcomed them with a smile and said, "It's nice to see you, Sister Su."

Su Zi nodded gently and said, "Pick out three sets of clothing for him."

The woman looked at Ye Guan and was visibly shocked by his looks.

She unconsciously blurted out, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Su Zi frowned, looking deeply upset. "What nonsense are you spouting, Xiao Gu?"

The woman was stunned, and she stared at Ye Guan and Su Zi with surprise.

Ye Guan smiled sheepishly and said, "Miss, you’re mistaken. Miss Su and I aren't friends. I'm a friend of Su Zi’s friend."

Su Zi didn't say anything.

"Ah, I see, I understand." Xiao Gu nodded. She then turned to look at Su Zi and chuckled. "I'm sorry for that, Sister Su."

Su Zi nodded lightly and repeated, "Pick out three sets of clothing for him."

"Right away," Xiao Gu replied. She looked at Ye Guan and said, "This way, sir."

Ye Guan nodded and followed closely behind her.

This clothing store was huge, and it was divided into male and female sections. Xiao Gu brought Ye Guan to the male section. She smiled while examining him from top to bottom. She asked him a few questions and found out what he liked to wear.

Ye Guan fancied long robes. Long robes had gotten quite rare nowadays, but they were not that rare. A few eccentric professors still wore them to their classes. In the end, Xiao Gu picked out two long robes and a set of casual wear.

When Ye Guan tried on the casual outfit, Xiao Gu's eyes immediately lit up. Ye Guan was wearing a plain short-sleeved shirt and a pair of simple, long black pants. He was also wearing a pair of black canvas shoes.

Elegant! Xiao Gu could only think of that word to describe Ye Guan.

In addition to Ye Guan's looks, his posture was excellent as well, which gave people the impression that he was pretty strong and capable. He was also giving off an energetic and debonair air without looking either proud or arrogant.

He actually looked gentle, modest, and cultured.

Even Su Zi was shocked to see Ye Guan. Objectively speaking, Ye Guan was extremely handsome. He would undoubtedly become extremely popular if he were somehow cast in a historical drama.

Unfortunately, there was something wrong with his head!

Su Zi shook her head slightly. She truly found it a shame.

Meanwhile, Xiao Gu’s gaze had never left Ye Guan.

Su Zi handed a card to Xiao Gu.

Xiao Gu smiled before taking away the card to process the payment.

After the bill was settled, Su Zi left the clothing store together with Ye Guan. The two then walked over to the restaurant right next to the clothing store. They took a seat, and Su Zi ordered a few dishes before she started fiddling with her phone.

"Miss Su," Ye Guan suddenly said.

Su Zi looked at him.

Ye Guan asked, "How much money did you spend earlier?"

"It's fine; it wasn't that much money," Su Zi replied calmly.

"How long must I work for to repay you?" asked Ye Guan.

Su Zi merely stared at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan chuckled sheepishly. He wasn't stupid, so he could tell that the outfits they had bought were pretty expensive.

"Wanyu told me about what happened to you, but I don’t feel like there’s anything wrong with your head," Su Zi said.

Ye Guan was silent. contemporary romance

"Do you like Wanyu?" Su Zi asked, "She has many suitors in the Qiannan Academy; are you one of them?"

Su Zi was a powerful businesswoman, which gave her a certain domineering aura.

Unfortunately, Ye Guan was a swordsman, and she could only hope to intimidate Ye Guan.

Ye Guan revealed a light smile and said, "Miss Su, I think you’ve misunderstood something here."

Su Zi’s eyes narrowed. "What did I misunderstand? So, you’re not chasing after Wanyu?"

"So what if I’m chasing Wanyu?" Ye Guan asked back.

Su Zi froze. She didn't expect that Ye Guan would talk back to her.

They both stared at each other without backing down.

Ye Guan eventually smiled and asked, "Am I not allowed to chase after Miss Wanyu?"

"No, you are," Su Zi replied.

Ye Guan nodded slightly at that and said, "Miss Su, I can feel that you're wary of me, but it's completely. I am but a stranger to you, after all. It would have been stranger if you weren't wary of me."

However, don’t worry. I'll move out once I’ve found a job."

Su Zi was about to say something, but their dishes were finally served.

Ye Guan asked, "Miss Su, shall we eat?"

"Sure," Su Zi replied.

Ye Guan immediately started eating. His visit to the Milky Way had made him realize that he was quite fond of eating. Well, it wasn't a bad thing to feel hungry every now and then; it also made him feel more like a normal human being.

Ye Guan even reckoned that perhaps gods sometimes wished they were mortals.

Su Zi was astonished as she watched Ye Guan eat his meal with relish. Men would often cower in front of her; they were always afraid to look her in the eyes, but Ye Guan was different. His gaze was always clean and pure; they carried not even a hint of ulterior motives. Su Zi was starting to wonder if she had become unattractive.

Su Zi shook her head slightly. What am I thinking?

The two finished their meal, and Su Zi said, "I’ll bring you to my company."

Su Zi sat in the driver's seat of her car while Ye Guan sat next to her.

"Put on your seatbelt," she said.

"Seatbelt?" Ye Guan was confused.

"Have you never sat in a car?" she asked.

After a few moments of hesitation, Ye Guan replied, "I don't remember..."

Su Zi pointed at her own seatbelt. Ye Guan fumbled, but he truly had no idea what to do. Ye Guan fumbled with his own seatbelt for quite a while until the cars behind them started honking.

She unfastened her seatbelt and leaned over to help. The fragrant scent of her perfume wafted over to Ye Guan. He hurriedly leaned away to distance himself from her.

Su Zi glanced at Ye Guan without saying anything.

She eventually fastened her own seatbelt, and the car started moving.

Ye Guan looked out of the window and watched the changing scenery outside. A smile eventually hung on his lips. He was starting to like the Milky Way.

The lives of the people here were ephemeral, but it was exactly because they had short lives that they lived far more meaningful and exciting lives than the average cultivator.

A period of closed-door cultivation could easily last for hundreds of years. Cultivators lived much longer, but it came at the cost of missing out on the many joys of life. He started seeing why people like the Boundless Master had settled in the Milky Way.

Su Zi glanced at the grinning Ye Guan, and she couldn't help but feel a bit more curious about him. He seemed happy while staring at the mundane scenery outside, which was a bit strange.

Ye Guan was an intriguing individual. Su Zi shook her head and focused on her driving.

Soon, they arrived at a huge skyscraper. Ye Guan looked up and saw two words emblazoned on the skyscraper: Su Corporation.

"Follow me," said Su Zi.

Ye Guan nodded, and they both walked into the building.

Many people would stop and nod at Su Zi in greeting upon seeing her. They also addressed her as Chairman Su. Many of them also stared at Ye Guan, slightly puzzled and curious about his identity.

Su Zi brought Ye Guan to the highest floor. A female secretary walked in, carrying a huge stack of documents into the office. She looked slightly baffled upon seeing Ye Guan, but she didn't say anything.

"Chairman Su," she greeted.

Su Zi then picked up her pen and started signing the documents one by one.

Ye Guan didn't disturb her. He sat on the side and looked around with curiosity in his eyes. The office was huge, but it felt warm and cozy; there was also a unique aroma in the air.

Eventually, Su Zi put down the pen and said, "Leave us alone."

The secretary nodded and left the office with the remaining documents.

Su Zi asked Ye Guan, "Do you still remember where you live?"

"Yes, I do," Ye Guan replied.

Su Zi frowned and asked, "You don’t have enough money to get back home?"

Ye Guan pondered briefly before nodding. "Yes, you can say that."

Su Zi fell into deep contemplation before saying, "You don’t seem like a bad person, Mr. Ye. I think you're just in a difficult financial situation. I can lend you some money that you can use to go home. You can just return the money to me later."

It hadn't been that long since they met each other, and Su Zi had judged Ye Guan as a pretty good individual. In a nutshell, she was convinced that Ye Guan wasn't a bad person, so she decided to help him.

Ye Guan was delighted, and he immediately said, "That would be great, but I don't want to go home. I want to go somewhere."

"Where?" Su Zi asked, feeling a bit curious.

"The Boundless Club," Ye Guan answered, "Miss Su, you seem extremely knowledgeable; do you know how much money I need to become a member of the Boundless Club? I want to—"

"Shut up!" Su Zi suddenly roared. She glared at him with eyes full of anger and shouted, "Get lost!"

Ye Guan was at a complete loss for words.
