Capítulo 49: Problems

Before anyone could say anything Lyca already patted his shoulders. "Too lazy." These were merely kids in Lyca's eyes. How could she waste her time here when she wanted to have a taste of Shen Qui's tea? That thought sounded weird. Of course, Lyca decided to focus on the current situation in front of her. "Give me your names." She immediately said, shutting everyone up in the process.

Why the hell would they give their name to a lunatic like this? Who knows what kind of poison would this woman give them? Even if it was deemed as safe and non-fatal, they wouldn't be that stupid to try and drink one. Everyone was smart enough. They immediately avoided Lyca's gaze. Some of them regretted being close to Huang Xiaoxuan and immediately decided to stay away from this miss moving forward.

After all, Huang Xiaoxuan and Lyca didn't have a good relationship.

Seeing their ugly expressions, Lyca ignored them and hopped onto Shen Qui's back. She comfortably hugged his neck and rested her head on his back. Under the eyes of the other students Shen Qui left the arena with Lyca on his back. Of course, Lyca didn't care about their weird expressions. She only had enough energy to walk towards the arena and not the way back. She closed her eyes, and stayed quiet until they reached her room.

"This …." Shen Qui was speechless when his gaze landed towards the sea of different flowers that was piled in front of Lyca's door. "Someone sent flowers."

"Throw." Lyca answered and didn't let go of Shen Qui's back. Seeing this, the latter used his feet to move some flowers before opening the door and leaving the flowers outside.

"You don't like flowers?"

"I like you more." Lyca answered. She honestly hated flowers. To her, Shen Qui was more useful than flowers.

"We should maintain our professional relationship Lyca. You should be more careful. I am still a man after all." He said. This woman seemed too bold and unrestrained. It would be good to establish a boundary as early as now.

"No." Lyca answered as she got off his back. She sat on the couch and smiled at him. "I won't."

Shen Qui could only shake his head. What was he expecting? "Your father told me to train you in guns? Here is the list for your schedule tomorrow. At five, the challenge that you issued to Master Ma will still happen in the Arena. After that, would you like to go to the shooting range inside this school? I can start teaching you tomorrow."

"No. Next week." Honestly, she didn't like guns. However, for the sake of not embarrassing her father, she would pretend to put some efforts in learning this time.

"Alright then."

After Lyca made her food, she and Shen Qui silently ate before she told him that to not disturb her as she needed some sleep. When Lyca arrived inside her room, she made sure to lock the doors and started crystallizing her next poison. After she finished her tasks, she laid on her bed, extremely happy with the results that she observed today. It seems that her previous computations were accurate after all. She opened her phone and started reading the news in the forums only to realize that a few people were talking about her.

However, since their opinion did not concern her in any way, Lyca just closed her phone and started reading some messages that she didn't read earlier. Then her face darkened. It was Tang Ruyi. She actually missed a call from Tang Ruyi? Lyca didn't hesitate to call her noisy cousin again.

"Lyca!" On the first ring, Tang Ruyi answered. "I am glad you are still alive you brat!"

"What's wrong?"

"We heard that some people are targeting you at the School? Is this true? Our Tang Family will definitely support you on this! Do you want us to—"

"No. Not true."

"Eh? Are you sure? Our contacts specifically said that—"

"Did you tell mother and father?"

"What? Of course not! I would never want them to worry about this matter! Plus, the Huang Family seems to have encountered a few problems a few days ago. You should definitely visit them."

"Problem?" Lyca frowned. Because of the Tang Family's military background, they couldn't just dabble into others' problems. especially when it came to businesses as this would ruin their reputation.

"Grandfather told me to inform you about this matter. I think your grandfather Huang is still keeping this a secret from everyone else. You really should help that old man to keep the Huang Security safe from the schemes of other families. Oh! I also heard another rumor! This is extremely unreliable but…"

"What?" Honestly Lyca had an ominous feeling about this.

"It seems that the Long Family is pressuring your Old Man Huang for a marriage alliance!"

"With who?"

"Of course you and their Young Master!" Tang Ruyi said before she laughed. "They already heard that you might become the next head! Now they are rushing to make a marriage alliance with the Huang family. Listen to me… that Long Family wanted to unite Long City for a long time now. This must be the only solution that they could think of. Now… I heard Old Man Huang didn't agree. So… they are causing some problems to the old man, pressuring him to agree to this deal."

"That's it?" Lyca said. "Is there anything that you want to tell me?"

"No. That's all. You should take care of yourself and don't fall for that fox Long Yi! Hmph! I heard he was not supposed to be the heir, it was his elder brother! Guess what happened to his elder brother? The man was lying on the bed and will never be able to walk again. Therefore, Long Yi became the heir. What kind of person would attack his elder brother just because of a position? Hmph! An extremely ruthless person!"

"Hmmm. Thank you for the warning. I will pay you soon."

"Hehehe… Cousin Lyca is still the best. I want the bullet that you gave me before the one that will explode when inside a human's body. I love those the most. But you already know this. Hehehe… Don't forget to visit me on your break! Alright! I will leave now. I think I have talked too much." She let out another burst of laughter before ending the call.
