The soup was cold and a little bit smelly, but Robin didn’t care. He no longer felt hungry after eating several meat cubes without any taste.
Zhouille walked in at this time.
“He asked me to tell you that you are only in temporary charge of your life, and he’ll come to take it someday.”
He sat down and said directly.
Robin knew who the “he” referred to, but he didn’t care. In his mind, it was a gain for even just living one more day. He would rather make a plan when Finley came for him again.
Finding the soup was drunk, Zhouille asked Robin whether he needed more.
Robin nodded. Then Zhouille went to get him another bowl of hot soup.
“Does he have a grudge against you?” Zhouille asked when sitting down.
Robin thought for a while. ‘It seems that I’m not relevant with the grudge.’
It was odd enough that the brothers from the Nie family picked on him. It made him more depressed that the master came for him after the brothers died.
He was in a maelstrom even without knowing how he got into it.
“I know someone has set me up from the beginning. But I don’t know who he is yet. I will definitely find him out.” Robin said fiercely.
“You should probably think about how to keep your life first.” Zhouille said.
Robin smiled bitterly. It was hard enough to keep his life in the face of a martial artist.
“It may be easier if I become a martial artist.”
That was just Robin making a joke of himself.
But Zhouille thought about it and said seriously, “That means we have to kill a martial artist, since there are already twelve of martial artists.”
“But becoming a master requires killing a master while killing a master requires becoming a martial artist. It’s a paradox like the question whether it was black holes or galaxy that existed first.” Robin smiled.
Zhouille didn’t respond, probably because he thought so.
Robin had recovered after resting for a period of time.
He couldn’t do much when resting. It was Zhouille who took care of him, so Robin was grateful to him.
That afternoon, someone entered the forest and walked straight to the house where Robin was at.
This man was nearly two meters tall, with a thick beard. He was muscular, which made him look powerful.
He walked in the house and found Robin sitting there, so he asked, “Is there a martial artist?”
Robin saw him in a long distance. He didn’t move after finding that he was not Finley.
He knew the man was looking for Sienna, but she was not here. So, he answered, “No. You’re looking in the wrong place.”
The man didn’t believe and asked again, “But I heard there is a female master in here. Don’t you know it?”
Robin ignored him, thinking that the man might want to learn something from Sienna.
Realizing Robin was ignoring him, the man was ready to look for Sienna in other places.
Zhouille walked out and said, “There was a martial artist. But she hasn’t come back for a long time.”
He must hear the man’s question.
The man looked at Zhouille gratefully.
“So, do you know when she will come back?” he asked again.
Zhouille couldn’t answer him this time. He was also waiting for Sienna.
“I don’t know.” he shook his head and said.
The man left since he couldn’t get anything useful here.
“Why are you waiting for Sienna?” Robin asked after a while.
Zhouille didn’t answer but kept doing his own things.
Robin found he didn’t answer, so he just continued eating the pomegranate in his hand.
Zhouille was waiting for Sienna, but Robin didn’t know what he himself was waiting for. He didn’t dare to come back to the city, afraid that Finley would come for him. However, hiding here meant that he might become a wild man.
‘Maybe I should find the way out.’
Two days after, an unexpected person came.
Robin became scared when he found the beautiful woman in court dress brought a girl and came to the house.
Different from Robin, the girl was happy to see Robin. If the woman wasn’t holding her back, she probably would have rushed to him.
“Why are you still here? I told you to leave.” the woman said indifferently.
“Something happened…” Robin didn’t know how to explain. Fortunately, the woman didn’t really want to know. She interrupted Robin and said,
“Never mind. Fortunately you’re still here. The kid wants to meet you. Have a talk with her.” She let the girl go after saying that.
The girl rushed to Robin like a horse without a rein.
Robin didn’t feel much. There was a blank in the girl’s memory. Actually they just stayed together for a couple of days for the second time. But the girl liked him somehow.
Probably she wanted to get close to him because Robin was the first person that she saw when she woke up.
Robin held the girl in front of him and looked at her carefully.
She was healthier than last time. At least, she was no longer skinny.
The girl was staring at him when Robin was looking at him.
She smiled contently.
“Do you miss me?” Robin asked.
The girl still didn’t talk much. She just nodded.
“How are you doing?” Robin asked again.
But it seemed that this question overwhelmed her. She shook her head after a while.
Hearing the answer, Robin couldn’t do anything.
He became silent. When he was going to comfort the girl, the woman said, “Now that you see him, come back with me!”
She said to the girl. It seemed that she came here just for allowing the girl to see Robin. That was all.
Robin couldn’t stand it. He looked at the woman and complained, “You are not relative to her. She can do whatever she wants.”
He knew his words would rub the woman up the wrong way, but the poor girl gave him the courage.
“How dare you talk to me like that?” The woman glared at Robin.
“You heard me. I won’t let you take her away.” It was probably because the woman was here alone, or because the girl was holding his hand. Anyway, Robin said those words.
Maybe hearing the quarrel outside, Zhouille came out. Usually he would meditate at this time. It was his regular work.
He saw the woman and asked surprisingly, “Ms. Aleena, what are you doing here?”
The woman answered indifferently, “Because of him.”
Zhouille looked at Robin after hearing the woman’s words. But he was still in confusion. He asked, “It was because of Robin?”
