《The Villain's Redemption》Chapter 44 - Upcoming Scheme

"What's wrong?" Mo Li asked.
"Do you know how to swim?"
Mo Li immediately raised an eyebrow. "Why do you ask?"
"I— I was just wondering if you're going to swim … you know… at the waterfall."
"Oh! You want to see my body?"
Such shamelessness! Li Yue turned her head away.
"Nope, I won't let you." Mo Li chuckled, obviously amused at his own words. After a few more minutes of walking, everyone finally arrived at the first stop.
The roaring waters of Woying Falls welcomed them. To Li Yue's surprise, the waterfall towered over them while the current dropped aggressively and yet gracefully as it tumbled down the rocks, emitting thundering cries and creating creamy foams . The waters flowed nonchalantly through a series of rocky outcrops before finally landing into a basin of beautiful, crystal-clear water and then into a calmly flowing stream. Alongside the slight salinity of freshwater in the air, it was a magnificent sight to behold.
Li Yue heard the people around her shouting just so they could hear their voices as they took their phones and started taking pictures. A small nudge on her arm woke her up from her stupor. She immediately turned towards Mo Li who signaled her to follow him away from the waterfall.
'Too noisy,' he mouthed before turning his back and walking towards a boulder underneath the shade of a tree. Li Yue silently followed him. She let out a sigh, relief flowed through her. At least Mo Li didn't say anything about swimming. "Isn't that your ex boyfriend?" She heard Mo Li utter.
"What boyfriend?" Then, she saw Xia Jin with Li Weiwei resting a few trees away from them. "Oh."
"Are you going to cry?"
"You're talking too much." Li Yue said.

"Oh! Are you going to cry now?"
She glared at him. "Can you stop that?"
Of course, Mo Li chuckled and said, "No."
Li Yue closed her eyes before turning towards Xia Jin and Li Weiwei. Aside from the scheme that she is expecting from Mo Li's step mother, she is also expecting to see some drama soon. The leads are the type of people who always attracts trouble wherever they go. It is only normal for them to encounter something that would try and break them apart. "Hey, Mo Li."
"Hmmm?"
"Do you think Li Weiwei is pretty?"
"She looks like a woman."
"What kind of answer is that?" Li Yue looked at him. "Are you saying that I don't look like a woman?"
"You look like a girl. There's a difference."
Again, Li Yue made the resolution not to talk to this man unless necessary.
Time passed.
Surprisingly, not one person said they wanted to swim in the shining water of the basin. Instead, everyone seriously took their time to rest. Be that as it may, the excitement in the air is apparent. After a few more minutes, they started hiking again. Then, on their second spot the group decided to have lunch in a little steppe which was located next to a river. The facilitator said that it was another camping spot for beginners like them. However, the view of the sunset from there was not very good so they were told to move to the next spot which is about an hour from there.
"For lunch, we'll teach you how to fish!"
Gasps and excited whispers followed the facilitator's words. "Of course, we we'll make it a contest. The people with the highest points will receive a plaque from the school on your graduation!" This time, the students started to cheer. An award sounds exciting especially to those who seemed to measure intelligence from the amount of awards a person receives.

"Alright! This is a surprise test for everyone. You can use whatever method you know to catch a fish! I want everyone to find a pair! The two will help each other catch, clean and cook their lunch." As expected, some of the students started complaining when they heard the facilitator's words. However, he quickly reminded them that they had already signed the agreement which states that they will participate in the organized activities to broaden their knowledge of the world."
"What kind of activity is this?" Li Yue mumbled. She was one of the people who immediately complained simply because… she has absolutely no idea on how to catch a fish.
[Bee has the ability to attract any animal is smaller than a foot to the host's body]
Li Yue's eyes immediately turned wide. 'Attract? Like bait?'
[As long as the host works hard, small animals will naturally get attracted to the host's body.]
As usual, the answer she received was nowhere near clear. But, what did she expect? Even so, Li Yue is ecstatic. She does not understand the other conditions for the ability's activation set by the crazy system and yet she is quite confident that she could be hardworking enough to figure it out in the end.
"Alright… Mr. Tang will show everyone how he catches a fish." A bulky middle aged man who is about Mo Li's size walked out the back and got out his knife. He then started walking towards the river and turned to face everyone.
"This is not a very deep river. You may use whatever means you have to catch a fish. You can use a sling, you can find some bait, or maybe make a bow and arrow, if you can that is. As for me…" He snorted and showed his hands. "I use my hands." Without pause, he started looking for a fish to catch.
"Is that even possible?" Li Yue almost flinched when she heard a woman's voice next to her. "Hey, Li Yue…" The woman stood next to her. She eyed Mo Li before smiling at Li Yue. "I heard that you and Mo Li are lovers. Is that true?"
"Not true." Li Yue answered as she recalled this woman's name.
"Good." The woman beamed. "I also heard… you're no longer the heir of the Li Clan, is that true as well?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-redemption_17733026705591705/upcoming-scheme_48587874718762489 for visiting.
"Yes." Li Yue nodded. This woman… is one of Lu Xinyi's underlings. No… the exact term is cousin. This is Lizzy Lu, a foreigner who likes to tag along with Lu Xinyi and her friends. Li Yue shifted her gaze back to the man who was showing everyone how to catch a fish as she recalled whether she had interacted with this Lizzy Lu before.
Nothing came up. However, Li Yue does not believe in coincidences. Something was off. Why would Lizzy Lu stand next to her right after she ruined Lu Xinyi? Slowly, Li Yue moved her body towards Mo Li. She needed to get away from the upcoming scheme!
