Elysia opened the drawer and took out the USB stick with the recording copy of Emma. Her mouth corners curled up slightly because she was not sure whether Robert would like the gift of her.

She changed into a light blue dress and walked down the stairs with light steps. Upon seeing her, the driver quickly opened the car door and said, “Ms. Elysia Rosewood, please.”

After Elysia got into the back seat of the car, the driver ran to the front door, opened it, and got in.

The car started and arrived at the entrance of Cheerup Restaurant in about twenty minutes. When Elysia got out of the car, a waiter quickly came out to greet her, “Excuse me, do you make a reservation?”

“I’m Ms. Rosewood,” replied Elysia.

The waiter nodded and made a gesture suggesting Elysia to get in. “Ms. Rosewood, this way, please. Neo is waiting for you.”

After saying this, she led the way to the private room, stretched out her hand, and pushed the door open.

Neo and Robert, who fixed their gaze on the entrance, saw a figure in blue appearing. Compared to Neo who was all smiles, Robert was somewhat astonished.

Robert thought, ‘How could it be her–Elysia? Does she come to the wrong place?‘

Just as he was about to ask, Neo stood up and walked towards her. “Ms. Rosewood, long time no see.”

Neo was about to give Elysia a hug, but she took a step back and raised her hand to stop him. “No.”

Neo found it boring. “You are still the same as before, not liking others to be close to you.”

“Let’s play by the rules,” replied Elysia.

Neo rolled his eyes, looking aggrieved. Then he turned to Robert, who was sitting at the dining table, and said, “Ms. Rosewood, do you still remember him? This is Robert, who could be considered your apprentice to some extent.”

Then he turned to Robert and said, “She is the younger master you have always admired, Elysia. She wore a mask back then, so you might not recognize her.”

Robert was stunned.

Robert thought, ‘Did I hear right? Neo is telling me that Elysia is my younger master?‘

Back then, his father invited Neo, the runner–up of the last World Programming Competition, to tutor him because he was going to participate in the Youth Programming Competition.

A few months before the Competition, his master Neo invited a younger master for him, who was said to be far more skilled than Neo.

That younger master was short in stature and young in age, exuding a cold aura, which did not diminish even when speaking. He had thought that the younger master was an adult, though she is young in age.

Robert looked at Elysia in front of him with a sense of inquiry and investigation in his eyes.

If Elysia was really his younger master, she tutored him who was also sixteen back then two years ago when she was only sixteen years old.

Neo praised her countless times back then, with every word true and free from exaggeration. He also appreciated her real skills so he admired the younger master even more.

He never saw this younger master again after the Competition.

He felt a little comfort at that moment when suddenly received a message from his master after years of separation, though he was still immersed in the pain of Matthew’s death.

Moreover, he had a bit more expectation in his heart as Neo told him that the younger master would also come.

But he had never expected that the younger master he had always admired was Elysia, whom he used to look down upon.

He couldn’t accept this fact for a while.

Seeing him not speak, Neo furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “Why don’t you greet your younger master? Do you need me to teach you the Clusia tradition of respect for teachers?”

Robert finally came to his senses. Just as he was about to speak, Elysia suddenly said, “It’s okay. Robert, I’ve used to it, right?”

Robert was a little embarrassed as Elysia was clearly hinting at him.

But he could understand Elysia. After all, he had done something wrong before.

Thinking back, he felt a little embarrassed. How could he have dared to challenge her at that time? He was really overestimating himself.

“Ms. Rosewood, what do you mean by that?” Neo looked at her suspiciously.

Elysia curled up her beautiful lips slightly. “Robert and I knew each other, and we were schoolmates.”

Hearing this, Neo was so surprised that his eyes widened, “Schoolmates? Ms. Rosewood, are you kidding?”

She had already obtained her double master’s degree from Harfard University in the year when he met her. Robert is still a high school student now. If she and Robert were schoolmates, then... she was also a high school student?

Where did she go wrong to go to high school?”

Seeing Neo’s disbelief, Elysia rolled her eyes at him. “I’m happy to do that.”

Neo thought, ‘Well! What else could I say?‘

Robert didn’t understand their conversation, but he didn’t think much about it. Looking at Elysia, he said with a serious expression as if he had made a major decision, “I’m sorry for what happened before, Ms. Rosewood.”

Hearing what Robert said, Elysia almost spat out the water she had just drank. She was really not used to Robert calling her younger master. It was okay for him to call her that way back then, but now it was different.

Moreover, she was not blessed enough to be called “younger master” by Robert as there were many unpleasant things between them.

She couldn’t change it as she always held a grudge.

“I’m not really your master as I only tutored you for a few months back then. Just call me by my name later,” said Elysia.

“How can that work? A teacher for a day was a father for a lifetime. It would be fine if I didn’t know about it before, but I will follow the rules in the future,” said Robert.

2/3 15:08 Sat, 15 Feb 9 Chapter 170 Elysia kept silent.

She certainly didn’t want Robert to act in line with the so–called rules. The key was that she didn’t want a disciple who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, was narcissistic and arrogant, and... somewhat... foolish.

“I merely tutored you for a few months at Neo’s request. Even if I were your master, it would only be limited to those few months and end naturally after that. If you insist on calling me younger master, I’ll not accept,” said Elysia What Elysia said stabbed directly into Robert’s heart. Robert thought, ‘Is she that eager to distance herself from me?‘

He had previously thought that Elysia had fallen in love with him at first sight. Thinking back, it seemed truly absurd. She must have recognized him the moment she saw him.

Only he had foolishly believed that she liked him. His expression grew increasingly unpleasant. He really wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Neo sensed that the atmosphere between the two was clearly off as if... there was a strong hint of gunpowder in the air.

“Ms. Rosewood, you two...” He had intended to speak to ease the tension, but upon catching Elysia’s icy glare, he immediately shut his mouth.

Neo thought, ‘Forget it, I’d better not to mediate.‘

After all, he was well aware of Elysia’s power. If he angered her, she might just turn on him.

Seeing that Neo stopped talking, Elysia took out the USB stick from her bag and put it before Robert. “For the sake of the fact that I have tutored you for several months, this is the gift for you. I hope you like it.”
