Under the night sky.
Su Qingxue sped along the road, driving swiftly through the darkness.
Having left the Pokémon Battle Arena behind, she headed straight toward the Tangcheng Yipin villa district to report the good news to her teacher as quickly as possible.
Yet unbeknownst to Su Qingxue, another car was following closely behind her.
"This direction…seems to be toward the city center?" Leng Yue, seated in the front passenger seat, observed their route carefully before speaking softly.
Bai Cai, in the back seat, also took a quick glance, nodding in agreent. "It is the city center, specifically the Tangcheng Yipin villa district. Looks like Guo Yi's teacher is at his place."
As a resident of Tangcheng Yipin herself, Bai Cai naturally knew these roads far better than the other two.
"Then why are we still trailing behind? Watch my driving skills!"
Now that she knew the destination, Shu Xinni lost patience with trailing behind Su Qingxue. She stomped down on the gas pedal, sending the car hurtling forward.
Whoosh!
Within re minutes, the car overtook Su Qingxue, leaving her far behind in its dust.
"Street racers…" Su Qingxue murmured in annoyance, watching as the car's tail lights quickly vanished from sight.
Inside the speeding car—
Leng Yue grew paler by the mont, glancing nervously at the rapidly rising speedoter.
"Xinni, slow down," she urged. "We're almost downtown—if we're caught speeding, and Guo Yi's teacher leaves before we arrive, you'll lose your chance completely."
Leng Yue knew very well that Shu Xinni was fully in fangirl mode right now, and simply asking her to slow down probably wouldn't work. But ntioning Guo Yi's teacher was guaranteed to snap her back to reality.
"You're right, Xiao Yue!"
Shu Xinni imdiately nodded earnestly, convinced.
She definitely couldn't afford to ss this up. Since she had already overtaken Su Qingxue, driving at a normal speed would suffice.
However—even though she slowed down, Shu Xinni kept her speed precisely at the upper limit allowed by the road regulations.
With her precise control, what should have taken half an hour was covered in just fifteen minutes, arriving quickly at the entrance of Tangcheng Yipin.
At the gate, a security guard promptly stepped forward upon seeing the car approach.
As president of Shanghai Pokémon Technology Corp, Shu Xinni naturally drove a luxury vehicle worth millions.
But every resident of Tangcheng Yipin was either wealthy or influential. Thus, the security here only recognized residents or license plates—not rely expensive cars.
"Good evening, Miss!"
"Who are you here to visit?"
The guard politely asked, ticulously professional. Whether a visitor was a resident or guest, courtesy was paramount. Otherwise, accidentally offending soone influential would spell disaster for the guards.
At this mont, Bai Cai rolled down her window from the backseat and spoke directly to the guard, "Xiao Wang, it's —they're my friends."
Seeing Bai Cai, Xiao Wang imdiately broke into a cheerful smile.
"Ah, it's Teacher Bai! Co on in!"
"Hey buddy, open the gate!"
Having confird their identity, Xiao Wang cheerfully called out to another guard stationed inside the security booth.
One guard inquired, while the other opened the gate.
On either side of the gate sat an Arcanine and a Furfrou. Such strict security required no further elaboration.
After entering Tangcheng Yipin, guided by Bai Cai, the car quickly stopped in front of Guo Yi's villa.
"This is it!"
Shu Xinni gazed eagerly at the brightly lit villa before her, excitent almost bursting from her chest.
"My makeup hasn't smudged or anything, has it?"
Finally eting both her idol and her life-saving benefactor, Shu Xinni beca very conscious about her appearance.
Leng Yue smiled gently, teasing, "Not smudged, you look beautiful. You're just eting your savior, though—why are you acting like you're eting a boyfriend?"
Hearing this—Shu Xinni instantly blushed deeply, sputtering embarrassedly, "Wh…what boyfriend? It's just my first eting with my idol—I have to leave a good impression!"
Normally a strong, assertive woman, Shu Xinni now acted like a shy young girl.
Following Bai Cai, the three approached and rang the doorbell of the villa.
anwhile, inside the villa—
Guo Yi lay shirtless on the sofa, eyes half-closed, thoroughly enjoying Miss Lilligant's skillful massage.
Just as he'd suspected—massages was truly addictive. One taste was enough to leave anyone craving more.
Moreover, Miss Lilligant, having inherited Healing Wish, infused traces of healing energy into her massage. Such a feeling was nothing short of imperial luxury.
Ding-dong!
As the doorbell rang, Guo Yi slowly opened his eyes from his blissful relaxation.
"At this hour, it should be that girl Qingxue returning."
"Froakie, get the door!"
Guo Yi glanced over at the trio of Pokémon deeply imrsed in a ga of Dou Dizhu with poker cards and called out casually.
As for the mother-daughter Ninetales pair—
They were naturally occupied on the sidelines, holding their tablets and binge-watching lodramatic CEO-thed Pokémon soap operas.
"Froak!"
Hearing Guo Yi's command, Froakie imdiately stood up, swiftly placing his cards face-down among the discarded pile.
Truthfully, his hand was terrible this round. He was just beginning to despair at the thought of losing all his snacks when Guo Yi's order beca music to his ears.
However—this sudden interruption greatly annoyed Nidoking and Kubfu, who'd been playing with Froakie.
The two exchanged a aningful glance. Tonight, they vowed not to sleep until they'd won every last snack Froakie possessed!
"Froak!"
As soon as Froakie opened the door, Bai Cai waved to him cheerfully.
"Good evening, Froakie!"
As soone who constantly monitored Guo Yi's activities, Bai Cai was naturally aware of Guo Yi's recently-captured Pokémon.
"Froak!" (Hello!)
Froakie politely returned the greeting, then promptly led the trio into the villa.
While Shu Xinni didn't say a word, her eyes darted around, urgently seeking the figure who haunted her dreams.
Yet—
The mont they reached the living room, her gaze imdiately fell upon Guo Yi, lying shirtless on the sofa, indulging shalessly in Miss Lilligant's massage.
"Ah!"
"Pervert!"
Seeing Guo Yi's bare upper body, Shu Xinni instantly covered her eyes with her hands and cried out sharply.
Guo Yi was instantly speechless.
They'd barged into his own ho and dared to call him a pervert?
Nonetheless—he had no intention of getting up, instead lazily teasing the visitors:
"Leng Yue, Bai Cai, why did you bring a strange woman to my house so late at night?"
"What's this—trying to set up with a girlfriend?"
As soon as his words finished, Shu Xinni imdiately snapped back indignantly, "Who wants to be your girlfriend?"
"I'm here to find your teacher!"
Seeing Guo Yi shalessly enjoying Miss Lilligant's massage, Shu Xinni couldn't hide the disdain in her heart.
"Hmph!"
"He sent his own disciple out to fight, while he stays ho to relax."
"I really can't understand why my idol accepted soone like you as a disciple."
If not for the sake of eting her idol, Shu Xinni would never bother speaking a single word to Guo Yi!
"Teacher?"
Still without any intention of getting up, Guo Yi chuckled softly, "My teacher isn't here, you can leave now."
At this, Shu Xinni crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Impossible! We followed Su Qingxue all the way here. Your teacher is definitely here!"
Hearing this, Guo Yi abruptly opened his eyes, irritation flickering within them.
"You followed my disciple?"
Sensing the hostility in his tone, the Pokémon in the room imdiately put down whatever they were doing, standing up and quietly watching the three won.
Although Guo Yi was friends with Bai Cai and Leng Yue, there were certain bottom lines he absolutely wouldn't tolerate being crossed.
Feeling Guo Yi's displeasure, Bai Cai quickly stepped forward to clarify, "Guo Yi, don't misunderstand! We didn't intentionally follow Qingxue. The truth is, your teacher saved my friend's life. She only wanted to find your teacher and thank him in person!"
As expected, won in love really lose IQ points.
To think Shu Xinni would actually blurt out sothing like following his disciple…
Right now, Bai Cai could only hope Guo Yi would forgive their mistake.
"Saved her life?"
Hearing these words, Guo Yi finally turned his attention fully toward Shu Xinni.
[Shu Xinni]
[Age: 25]
[Background: President of Shanghai Pokémon Technology Corp]
[Ability: None]
[Compatible Template: Lusamine]
[Note: This woman possesses outstanding talent; it is recomnded to take her as a student.]
Shanghai Pokémon Technology Corp… No wonder her na sounded familiar. Guo Yi thought as her background appeared clearly in his mind.
He finally rembered her—this Shu Xinni had once offered a high price on Weibo, hoping for a chance to et him and express her gratitude.
But at the ti, Guo Yi wasn't interested in any of this, so he rely glanced at it and imdiately forgot about it.
Now understanding Shu Xinni's purpose, Guo Yi simply waved his hand dismissively.
"In that case, there's no need for you to stay here."
"My teacher never ca at all."
Guo Yi had already built up a powerful and mysterious background for himself.
As the strongest persona he'd created, the "Bug Master" identity had to remain hidden at all costs.
As long as no one linked the Bug Master to him, neither dostic nor foreign powers would dare make rash moves against him.
After all, none of them could afford the wrath of the "Bug Master."
Yet Shu Xinni didn't believe Guo Yi's explanation at all and imdiately countered:
"How could he not be here? Those Pokémon battling at the arena earlier, Beedrill and Zapdos—they clearly belong to your teacher!"
Guo Yi sneered faintly.
"Do you really think my teacher needs to personally deliver them?"
Even though the Pokémon Transfer system hadn't been invented in this world yet—
Couldn't the Pokémon fly themselves over?
"This…"
Shu Xinni was imdiately left speechless.
Guo Yi's words...actually made sense.
If it was just two Pokémon, his teacher indeed had no reason to co personally.
Still unwilling to give up, Shu Xinni continued pursuing the matter:
"In that case, Teacher Guo, could I trouble you to at least tell where your teacher is?"
"I've always wanted to thank him in person for saving my life."
In order to learn the whereabouts of her idol, Shu Xinni even restrained her pride and pleaded earnestly.
Yet Guo Yi still shook his head firmly.
"Where is he?"
"Even I don't know."
"He only gave a way to contact him, and afterward Beedrill brought Zapdos's Poké Ball over here."
"Is that so…?"
This ti, Shu Xinni visibly deflated, completely downcast.
She had thought she'd finally get to see her idol's true face, but it had all been in vain again.
"Xinni…"
Seeing her friend's disappointed expression, Leng Yue wasn't sure how to comfort her.
Just at that mont—
"Teacher, I'm back!"
Su Qingxue's voice echoed from outside the villa, though there was a strange note of complaint in her tone.
"Teacher, I finally get it now!"
"No wonder you suddenly had stand in for you in that battle—you wanted to hide your beauties at ho, huh!"
Su Qingxue walked into the room with her cheeks puffed up indignantly, looking as if she'd just caught Guo Yi red-handed in so scandalous affair.
