Shen Qui eyed her dress. Then his gaze darted towards her face. Clearly, she was not wearing anything remotely appropriate for a fight. Then why would she challenge him? Was this a test of sorts? Shen Qui frowned at the thought. Was this young lady testing him? "I'm sorry but" he wasn't able to complete his words when Lyca suddenly walked towards one of the walls and pressed sothing, making the flat walls reveal different kinds of weapons.
Daggers, fighting knives, swords, axes, spears. Wait why did she have a peculiar collection of weapons? Was she However, before he could say anything, Huang Sheng Hong's laughter echoed inside.
"Lyca" Her father smiled at her. He eyed the variety of weapons in front of his daughter and imdiately understood what happened. He imdiately approached her. "Let's not do it this ti. Your mother will prepare so pizza for you. How about I talk to him?"
Pizza? Of course, Lyca's attention was completely diverted at the ntion of pizza. She imdiately nodded and said. "I want to live with him." Before leaving the room with no explanation.
"" Shen Qui didn't understand what was going on. Pizza? A pizza was able to change her mind in a matter of seconds? He let out a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Shen." Huang Sheng Hong gave the young man a wry smile. "Please follow to my office."
"Yes sir."
It didn't take too long for the two to reach Huang Sheng Hong's office. "When I received a call that you had co here I had to imdiately leave my job to co here." He gave him a stern look. "My daughter has an extrely peculiar way of dealing with things. I was afraid that she would ask you to fight with her. I guess my suspicions were well founded." For so reason, Lyca hated talking and tried to settle every argunt with her silencing the opponent to prove her point. Of course, the only people that knew of this were the servants, her sparring partner Yi'an and her parents.
Simple yet brutal. That was Lyca Huang. Her father knew that so people might misunderstand this daughter of his in the future. "My daughter is not a simple person. That's all you need to know. However, to her, this challenge that my father gave her is nothing but a simple task. But" Huang Sheng Hong looked at his family portrait that was frad on top of his table. "I am not here to talk to you about that." Sheng Hong had always been confident that Lyca would win this competition. "I am here for a request."
"Request?"
"I want you to teach her social skills instead."
What kind of request was this? Shen Qui imdiately thought about Lyca's actions earlier. "Sir, she wanted to teach her weapons. That"
"Guns." Huang Sheng Hong explained. "My daughter is proficient in using the weapons that you saw earlier. Daggers, swords and spears. She can be considered an expert in all those weapons. However she has always hated guns and thinks they are too loud." Huang Sheng Hong knew that Lyca didn't explain all this to Shen Qui. Therefore, he imdiately decided to clear out all the doubts in the young man's head.
Hearing this, Shen Qui turned silent. The young lady didn't say anything about this at all and just asked him for a fight. How was he supposed to know these things without her father's explanation? Earlier, he was honestly thinking that Lyca wanted him to choose a weapon for the fight. If she had just explained herself better then
"Please don't bla my daughter." Huang Sheng Hong smiled. "I spoiled her too much." His gaze turned gentle. "She always hated talking to people since she was young. She is sowhat lazy and refused to socialize with others. She was very silent and just liked to observe her surroundings. I didn't realise when she started to say less and less but you should begin getting used to it now."
So should he start practicing his skill at guessing the actions of others? Shen Qui frowned inwardly. How was he supposed to train soone who was not even willing to talk to him? His indifference towards this young lady had just been stained with a little dislike. As soone who had worked hard since he was young, how could he tolerate soone who was lazy to the point of cutting off her sentences? He snorted inwardly.
"Do you understand son?" Huang Sheng Hong asked. He let out a sigh inwardly. He completely understood Shen Qui's thoughts right now. Even he, as Lyca's father, understood how difficult it was to communicate with his daughter. However, unlike everyone else, Lyca would actually talk to her parents like a normal human being.
Who knows if Lyca would soon talk to Shen Qui like that too? Maybe they needed to be close for that to happen. "Thus I would like to request that you live with her for the ti being. This challenge is extrely dangerous. So people will begin scheming against her and might even send assassins. I need soone close to her all the ti. Would you be able to do this task for ?"
"So the weapons"
"Naturally, you will help her while living with her. Everything will be provided so you don't have to worry about this matter."
"And the social skills"
"Well according to my calculations. You have about a ten percent chance in succeeding. So I am not very hopeful about this." For the first ti, Hong Sheng Hong, the brute colonel who helped train recruits gave an embarrassed smile. Was his daughter really this peculiar? But most importantly, did he even have a choice to decline? Slowly, his gaze turned serious.
"Yes sir!"
"Good then about the school that you two will enter. Lyca doesn't know this yet but it is not the usual school that people in college will attend."
Shen Qui's faze turned stern as he continued to listen to Huang Sheng Hong's words. Moreover, Sheng Hong also explained to him the changes in the challenge. The old man actually decided to change it into a six month challenge to match the school's special requirent. This challenge was also submitted to the special school of elite and was just waiting for approval.
This Wasn't this just a bit too extravagant for a simple challenge?
