Chapter 28 Different Gazes
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Su Rong knocked on the door several times before entering.
"And where is she?" When she entered the room she saw no one in it, the room was empty and the woman Victor had told her about was not in it at all.
Victor's room was, as before, completely clean, except that the linens were missing for some reason.
'What is that smell?' For some reason she thought there was a rather peculiar smell in the room that she thought was strange.
"Can you feel it?" - She asked the shadow that was next to her.
The Shadow noticed it, as did Su Rong, but remained silent because she was shocked by her own thoughts.
'That's the scent of Yang Qi... He's been with the girl he saved for a while, if I guessed right, he must have done it with her…' the Shadow pinched their hand vigorously, shook their head several times and realized that this was not a dream.
The asumed thought of Victor having sex with a girl here made the Shadow shudder with imminent danger.
'I have to hide it!' thought the Shadow as they knew what could happen if Su Rong found out that Victor had fucked some strange girl...
Su Rong looked at the Shadow that stood like a stone, stunned by their conclusions and completely lost in its thoughts that it did not notice the gaze of Su Rong.
Only after a few breaths did they come to their senses and pretend to sniff as if to say so.
"Master, you must be imagining things. I don't feel anything." - The Shadow shook their head.
Su Rong checked the room for some time for the source of the odor, but in the end she found nothing. Giving up, she left the room thinking that this was the first time that Victor had tricked her, because the girl was not in the room.
Meanwhile the Shadow felt as if they had dodged a bullet, for if Su Rong had come to the same conclusion, their life might as well be in jeopardy. For just a simple reason like not stopping the girl in time a life might have been lost, sighed the Shadow from relief and soon after followed their master.
**********
Victor did not know that while he was searching for the treasury of the Yang Clan, his room had been searched from top to bottom and the Shadow had already guessed what event took place in said room.
It was now morning and the entire clan was already going about their daily work. As he walked past one crowd of students he happened to overhear a conversation between them.
"Did you hear what Victor was doing last night?" - Someone asked.
"You mean the murders? Everybody knows about that." - The student grinned.
When Victor overheard their conversation he became interested, but when he realized they were talking about yesterday's murders, he quickly lost interest and moved on but stopped abruptly after taking only a few steps.
"No, I mean the girl who moaned all night in his room shouting - "More..." or "Go on..." and the like "- The student laughed while trying to imitate the words, which made the whole crowd laugh.
"Fuck," cursed Victor. He only now remembered that the rooms were close together and the walls quite thin so it was quite easy to hear the loud moans, it would be a miracle if no one had heard Mikena's moaning.
Feeling a headache coming, he groaned. Mikena moaned loudly all night, so now he was sure that practically the entire Yang clan knew that he was having sex with someone, because such moans would have been impossible to make from practice.
At that moment the image of a woman with snow-white hair and violet eyes appeared in his mind, which made him realize that he now had a huge headache.
"If I said it was just practice or I was treating her injuries... Yes, she had bruises all over her body and I tried to relieve her pain by applying various medical herbs to her injuries..." Victor immediately made up an excuse, but after repeating it several times he found it absurd, for only a child would believe such a blatant lie.
With a heavy sigh he didn't dare return to the room instead he continued to look for the treasury. On his way to it, he noticed many of the clan members looking at him in a strange way, many of them having a respectful, jealous, and approving look on their faces. From the look on their faces, Victor realized that they clearly knew what was going on in his room tonight.
Having ignored everyone, after an hour of wandering all over the clan's territory Victor found the clan's treasury, it was a huge, majestic building with several guards standing near the entrance.
It was clear that it would be difficult to get in, at least in normal cases, but Victor could enter with ease because he was the young master of the Yang Clan and it would be ridiculous if he was not let in. It was quite unusual that no one stopped Victor and he entered the treasury quietly without anyone even trying to bother him.
But as soon as he passed through the entrance, one of the guards, bewildered, asked the other:
"Did the young master just enter the treasury?"
"I thought I was the only one who saw it… I even thought I was hallucinating." - The other guard answered.
They had guarded the entrance to the treasury for over a decade, standing in one place for such a long period of time and seeing Victor go in for the first time was too shocking.
"Inform the patriarch!" - The first guard pushed the other guard, as he did not know what to do in such a situation because usually it was forbidden to enter for any member of the clan except the patriarch, and regarding the young master there was no instructions at all. Most likely no one could assume that he would visit it on his own without any coercion.
Upon entering the treasury Victor's eyes immediately glittered, the building was much smaller than it looked from the outside but the view was beautiful. There were several sections that were divided into certain types of items.
For example, the room with weapons was the largest and most spacious while the cultivation techniques were the smallest, medical herbs, various skills and more were of the standard type, i.e. all the rooms were about the same size.
After glancing through all the rooms, Victor found a tag on the door with the name "Cultivation Techniques" on it and went in looking for the right one for himself.
The room as he had already found out was small and its contents were even smaller, in the center of the room there was a small shelf with various scrolls and in total there were less than 10, which slightly dulled Victor's eyes as he did not expect that even in such a large clan as Yang Clan there will be so few to choose from. But he hoped that at least one of these scrolls would be suitable for him, approaching them he unfolded the first and began to study.
