12 Chapter 12: Exercises

Lin Chenshui got out of the car carrying a small bag containing her most precious belongings because it would take some time to sort all her belongings and clothes. 

Especially after her father spent a lot of time teaching her about reality and what Shi Tu would do if she didn't satisfy him, it was like brainwashing instead of education.

In front of Lin Chenshui's eyes, there was a ten-meter high wall like the prison walls. 

Lin Chenshui felt very nervous because of what she suffered an hour ago and no matter how stupid she is, she never expected a normal easy life inside because it is clear to her that Shi Tu didn't care about her at all and that she was just pawn at least that's the impression she has after her talk with her father.

She couldn't help but think about that time a year ago when Shi Tu confessed to her. 

What if she said yes to him then? Would she have had a good life now? But unfortunately, there's no cure for regret. 

Now even her father abandoned her, and if she wasn't going to meet Shi Tu, she mustn't have even a scratch on her, he'd have whipped her all night. 

Whatever Shi Tu's plans were, none of them would have happened if she hadn't tried to bring a shield with her to get away with it. 

Lin Chenshui advanced towards the gate, but the guards intercepted her in a very cold face. 

"This is Shi Residence, we don't welcome guests, please go back to where you came from" 

Lin Chenshui was afraid of those looks, but her fear of Shi Tu, if she was late, was greater. 

"I'm here at the request of Young Master Shi and I'm going to start living here, so can you confirm? I don't want to make the Young Master wait." 

The guards looked at Lin Chenshui strangely. Did she move here? With Alice here, is there a need for her? 

Despite the many doubts of the guards, they didn't even dare to inaction, even if there's a 1% chance that what she saying is real, they can't take responsibility. 

But before any of the guards tried to call Alice, the guard's phone rang. 

The guard picked up the phone and seemed a little nervous and continued to chant the word 'yes' in horror.

Moments later, the guard hung the line and looked at Lin Chenshui strangely, and said, "Your identity has been confirmed, Miss Lin." 

All the guards were surprised by what they heard, although there were only three other guards in the place, everyone was able to hear what was happening because of the Communication devices and they really wanted to see this woman who had permission to enter. 

Lin Chenshui relaxed a little because it looks like Shi Tu didn't forget to tell the guards, or she was going to have to wait in front of the gate until he came out tomorrow. 

Lin Chenshui followed the guard but didn't lead her outside the guard building and because of her tension she didn't even look through the windows, although it is night, the view was really amazing, unfortunately, she missed it. 

Lin Chenshui thought Shi Tu was waiting for her here, so there's usually a guest room in the guard buildings in places like this, and he probably was there. 

They really got to the guest room, but Shi Tu wasn't there. 

Lin Chenshui looked at the guard strangely and before she asks, the guard said first. 

"According to Young Master Shi's orders, you will live here."

"What? How can he .... " 

Lin Chenshui didn't understand what's going on here. Shouldn't she at least live near Shi Tu?

"These are the orders, Young Master Shi said he would pass on you tomorrow morning to take you to college, so please take it for tonight."

Lin Chenshui's heart was a little relaxed because she thought he had some guests or things he didn't want to see, but it'll be done by tomorrow, and maybe he still cares about her because he said he'd personally deliver her to college, forgetting he was studying also there and that he might not be really serious about leaving college as he said so there's nothing strange about taking her.

Lin Chenshui nodded a little and then the guard leaned over and said, ''If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

The guard suddenly behaves like a servant because a woman who can get Shi Tu's attention can't be normal, and this is a good opportunity to make a good impression on her. 

............................... 

The night was almost over and the morning close, but Shi Tu wasn't asleep. 

Under the moonlight, Shi Tu stood surrounded by nine shades. 

It was not possible to distinguish between the nine shades where they had the same appearance and the black clothes that covered them completely, including their faces and thin bodies, to the point where some wind might be enough to throw them away. 

But there were some minor differences between them. 

The Shadow Shield was unarmed, with three others standing behind him, four of them standing in front of Shi Tu. 

The Shadow Stick holds a three-meter wooden stick and the Shadow Blade carries a sword, while the Shadow Double Blade carries a double sword, the Shadow Whip carries a black whip. 

Behind Shi Tu, there was someone else who seemed unarmed, but he didn't take any position he is the Great Shadow.

On the right of Shi Tu, there was Shadow Spear with a long flexible spear in his hand and he was pointing it towards Shi Tu. 

While the Shadow Dagger, the Shadow Spirit, and the Shadow Bow hid among the small forest trees.

Shi Tu rushed to the right quickly, the spear user poses the greatest risk in close-range mass battles because he can attack from outside his opponent's range. 

Although the whip can do it, it's easy to stop him with his bare hand, unlike the spear.

No one was able to respond quickly to Shi Tu's sudden movement, but Shi Tu stopped his quick dash and slipped a little. 

An arrow crossed where Shi Tu's head was going to be the next moment. 

The Shadow Shield didn't miss this opportunity and he rushed to Shi Tu with all his strength. 

Shi Tu didn't have enough time to retreat, so he took advantage of the power of his sudden stop and jumped back, kicking a kick into the air that repelled the great shadow's fist, which tried to make a surprise attack.

This force threw Shi Tu a few meters into the air because he couldn't rely on anything in the air.

Although Shi Tu's plan failed, He was not affected at all and rushed back towards the shadow shaft and didn't even look in the direction of the shadow blade and the shadow double blade because he was sure that they wouldn't try to stop him. Their work is not straight combat, rather, exploiting the opportunities created by the Shadow Shield and the great shadow, the shadow spear was the bait because it was the most dangerous. 

Both the shadow shield and the great shadow moved to his back, but he suddenly turned around and penetrated the trees. 

This was one fight against nine, as each of them is considered among the strongest, all of them at the same level as Shi Tu, and their bodies have reached the limits of human beings. 

In a world without enough energy, it is impossible to win a straight fight unless he had a gun with him, but he was unarmed.

While running, Shi Tu picked up a small rock and threw it with all his strength on a nearby bee nest before hiding quickly. 

The sound of bees was a cover for not hear his feet. 

After Shi Tu set his heartbeat rate again and had a clear goal because depending on the direction of the arrow, he could guess the location of the shadow bow, of course, it's impossible to stay in the same place, but there was only one good place to hide near him. 

But how don't know what Shi Tu knows? They also save every inch of the Shi residence like their hand. 

As soon as Shi Tu approached the location, he realized, a dagger pointed at his neck. 

The shadow dagger's hide skills are nothing less than a Shi Tu, so even he didn't notice. 

But if they don't trap him, they're not Shadow Guards. 

After it got this far, Shi Tu couldn't avoid this without loss. 

Shi Tu raised his arm to stop the dagger. 

The dagger stabbed Shi Tu's arm and caused a minor injury. 

Shi Tu grabbed the arm of the shadow blade and pulled him towards him strongly, which make him lose control, especially as he was in the air and used his knee to strike a powerful blow to the belly of the shadow dagger. 

But before he was fully conscious, he screamed with everything he had. 

Shi Tu realized what he wanted to do, but he's already late. 

The next moment, an arrow pointed into Shi Tu's chest. 

That wasn't an ordinary arrow it was a poisoned arrow. 

Unfortunately, it didn't affect. 

But he stopped Shi Tu for a moment. 

During this moment, a black whip wrapped around Shi Tu and the shadow dagger. 

Shi Tu had already escaped the shadow dagger, causing him to fall back and break the whip balance.

Shi Tu grabbed the whip quickly before he was pulled, but before he made any effort to pull him out, Shi Tu lost his power.

Shi Tu lost consciousness and fell to the ground due to the obstruction of the arrow, which is still embedded in the chest of Shi Tu, stopping his breathing and blood circulation.
