Chapter 1084: The Difference

“What do you mean?”

In the subway car, Cheng Sihan looked at Beta’s outstretched hand and asked.

“There are other communication devices on the phone. For now, allow me to take care of it,” Beta said with a smile. “It’s not just you... you should know that teacher has always been very cautious. Many people are looking for him now... not only you and your sister but some other guys, including those guys in Greek and Roman mythology. It’s always good to be careful.”

Cheng Sihan frowned, but she still reached out her hand from her pocket and handed over her phone after a moment. “Don’t lose it. I still have a lot of important things on my phone.”

“Of course,” Beta promised, but after she took the phone, she held it for less than ten seconds before conveniently stuffed it into the backpack of a sneaky-looking man next to her. The man was standing next to an office worker. He sneaked his hand into the office worker’s pocket and took out the latter’s wallet. After he got it, he immediately moved to the car door. It seemed that he was going to get off the car and take another subway.

Cheng Sihan’s eyebrows twitched, and a murderous look flashed in her eyes.

“Do you have another electronic device that can record the location or communicate with the outside world?” Beta asked with a smile.

“No.” Cheng Sihan tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

“What about the game items?”

“No.”

“Do you mind if I search your body?”

“You’d better not be too greedy.” Cheng Sihan’s gaze darkened.

Beta shrugged, looking very innocent.

“It won’t happen again.” Half a minute later, Cheng Sihan still chose to give in. She stood up straight and signaled Beta to start.

In the end, the latter walked up to her but did not immediately put her hand into her pocket and bag. Instead, she circled around her first. At the same time, she clicked her tongue and praised, “Senior sister, your figure is really good. I really envy your boyfriend.”

“Are you testing my limits?”

“No, no, no. I’ll start working now.” As Beta spoke, she finally began to inspect Cheng Sihan’s personal belongings. However, her hands didn’t behave honestly. They randomly move around Cheng Sihan’s body from time to time, groping places that should not be touched.

At first, Cheng Sihan’s eyes looked like they were about to spit fire, but soon, the anger in her eyes disappeared. She regained her calm and allowed Beta to touch her body. She just watched coldly from the side.

Beta also noticed the change in Wu Sihan’s mood. Her eyes showed some appreciation, and her hands finally began to restrain themselves. She took out two magnets from Cheng Sihan’s bag, looked at them, and then took out the silver pocket watch. “Is this the Blood Oath item?” she asked with intrigue. “I’m actually quite curious. If the person who swore the blood oath is already dead, will the blood of the corpse still boil after breaking the oath?”

“If you want to know, you can try taking an oath yourself,” Cheng Sihan said indifferently.

“And then you’ll kill me to verify it?” Beta smiled sweetly, but her smile, coupled with Wang Lirong’s wrinkled face, looked indescribably awkward.

“I don’t mind helping you with this,” Cheng Sihan said.

“Unfortunately, I’m not your sister.”

“...”

Seeing Cheng Sihan remain silent, Beta seemed to be very happy, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought up your sad matter. But on the bright side, at least you’ll be able to see your teacher again. If I Were you, I’d think about how to persuade your teacher to save your foster father, or... you can choose to forget about this matter and ask for some other reward from your teacher.”

“Do you always talk so much?”

“It’s a long journey. I thought you’d like someone to talk with to relieve your boredom or something.”

“I prefer to travel with a mute person.”

“What a strange habit... but I guess you’ll miss me soon.”

The train announced that that they had arrived at Jyu Pond Station. When the doors to the car opened on both sides, the shifty-eyed man got off the subway with the other passengers. Then, a new batch of passengers got on the train.

Cheng Sihan saw an extra seat, so she sat in front of a little ghost. Then, she looked at the depressed little ghost proudly.

“Childish.” Cheng Sihan snorted.

“I’m just used to finding some random entertainment.” Beta made a face at the little ghost. In the end, the little ghost was so angry that he cried and buried his face in his mother’s thigh.

Meanwhile, his mother was still seriously lecturing him that the subway should give priority to the elderly.

But at this time, the culprit had turned his gaze back to Cheng Sihan. “Senior sister, do you know why teacher chose me instead of you?”

“Didn’t you just get second place in the first round of the proxy war? Are you going to keep bragging about it, or are you waiting for me to give you an award?” Cheng Sihan mocked.

“It’s not just because of your strength.” Beta shook her head. “Of course, since you mentioned this, I will reluctantly accept your praise. But then again, do you really not know the reason why your teacher abandoned you?”

“Tell me.”

“You are too obsessed with saving your foster father,” Beta said. “That’s why you accepted the teacher’s invitation and became his agent, right? For so long, you’ve been trying your best to imitate the teacher, learning his ability for disguise and deceit, his brutality and ruthlessness. You’ve tried your best to see and make choices from his point of view in every aspect. You’ve worked together with Seth and caused chaos in the three big guilds. You’ve done an excellent job. However, it’s not because you really want to do it, but because you think that you can win teacher’s favor. However, as far as I know, teacher didn’t praise you in the end. You are like a pug wagging its tail in front of its master, trying everything but getting nothing.”

Cheng Sihan did not speak but clenched her fists.

“So, your problem is that you didn’t really get satisfaction and happiness from the pranks and tricks. It’s just like a top student. Even if he gets first place in an exam, it’s all based on knowledge, and not a bit of his own soul. This is the biggest difference between us. You’re the most stupid and pitiful part in the teacher’s eyes. Of course, at least you’re not as hopeless as your sister. This is also the reason why the teacher sent me to the hospital tonight. If you can give up the idea of saving your foster father and devote yourself to it, enjoying the happiness brought by cheating, you can still become one of us.”
