Chapter 62: Chapter 61: Heh, Men

Should she let her master accompany her to the Royal City?

It only took her a moment before coming up with the answer.

No! Absolutely not! She can’t let that happen!

In an instant, Lu Yuliu realized that she had to refuse this matter.

That guy is also in the Royal City. If she let him meet her master, who knows what terrifying consequences it might bring?

It’s likely that with just a small mistake, everything would be exposed.

Thinking about the horrifying future possibilities, Lu Yuliu’s mind instantly became extremely calm.

Pressure can stimulate a person’s potential the most, and at that moment, Lu Yuliu’s thoughts seemed to reach their peak speed.

Soon, she had an idea.

“…No, Master, you’ve just made a breakthrough and need to solidify your cultivation.”

Lu Yuliu shook her head and took a sip of tea, forcing herself to maintain a calm expression.

Ling Shuangxue assumed this was her disciple’s concern and said casually, “It’s alright, solidifying my cultivation base can be postponed, I can do it after accompanying you to the Royal City—”

“I apologize, but master, you must focus on solidifying your cultivation base first; that is more important.”

Lu Yuliu’s face remained calm as she interrupted her master with the same words.

Ling Shuangxue raised her gaze and looked at her disciple, who appeared calm at the time.

’Why does Yuliu emphasize that I need to solidify my cultivation base? Could there be some hidden intention?’

After exchanging letters and spending these days together, the current head of Frosty Snow Peak completely believed that her disciple’s sword cultivation had surpassed her own.

In this situation, the suggestion made by Lu Yuliu made her have to think carefully.

It was similar to when she started considering the matter of becoming Dao companions.

Becoming Dao companions shouldn’t be rushed, but solidifying cultivation…

After a long while, she nodded.

“I understand.”

She didn’t doubt her disciple’s judgment.

According to common sense, after a breakthrough, it is indeed appropriate for cultivators to consolidate their cultivation.

Hmm… Just now, after reshaping her sword heart, it does make sense for her to consolidate her cultivation at the Sword Sect instead of traveling outside…

However, she felt a faint sense of regret, as she lost the opportunity to travel with her disciple.

“If you still have the desire to go to the Royal City, you can accompany your disciple next time after she returns from participating in the Human Immortal List. By then, she can also introduce the sights of the Royal City to you, master.”

They would also have time to make discreet preparations.

Lu Yuliu smiled on the surface.

Although she appeared calm, she was extremely nervous inside.

This is the first time she has shown such a stance in front of her master.

It’s a bit exciting.

At the moment when she saw her master nodding, she almost lost her composure due to relaxation.

“Alright, then I will take you to a few places to prepare for your promotion to the Golden Core stage in the Ancient Heavenly Gate.”

If she was able to solidify her cultivation foundation earlier, she would have gone to the Royal City earlier to give a surprise to her own disciple…

Ling Shuangxue thought in her heart, a faint smile appeared on her face.

With the words of the master of Frosty Snow Peak, this matter was settled.

At the moment she walked out of the frosty snow hall, Lu Yuliu even felt a bit unreal.

’To think that it’s really possible to make my master concede like this…’

Lu Yuliu secretly glanced at the frosty snow hall behind her.

Perhaps her master is still paying attention to her, so she must be cautious when leaving.

However, she felt much more relaxed.

Looking at the setting sun gradually descending, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

If that guy sees her arriving at the Royal City so soon, she wonders what expression he will have.

’By the way, he seems to be the head of some Artifact Pavilion now…’

If that annoying bully doesn’t have enough manpower, she could— cough cough, if that annoying bully properly requests her help, she can consider lending a hand.

Consider it as a return gift to her master that guy unknowingly helped with.

However, the way she helps makes her feel that if she doesn’t control herself, even her master will be dragged into it.

“But I have to be careful not to repeat the same situation as before…”

Muttering in a voice that only she could hear, Lu Yuliu quickened her pace.

It’s fine, it hasn’t been a month since the last incident. When the one-month deadline arrives, she will find a place to hide.

In any case, she can’t have another episode in front of that guy.

If it happens again, she will truly die of embarrassment and indignation.

……

— Royal City —

Hidden in the shadows, Luo Wusheng moved forward in the dimly lit alley.

It was his first time sneaking into the Red Blossom Pavilion like this, and his heart was beating faster.

’But I’m just going to listen to the music, not doing anything bad, even though it’s broad daylight, I can’t just announce it to the world…’

Luo Wusheng sighed.

To avoid being discovered by anyone that may know his true identity, he even took a long detour.

But there was no other way, he didn’t want to risk having his image collapsing.

“Forget it, let’s think about something enjoyable.”

And then, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the messages he had been exchanging with Lu Yuliu these past few days.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

He won.

Lu Yuliu, the Aloof Listener? Nonexistent.

After failing to make Lu Yuliu lose her composure on the first day, he pondered over it and made several strategic changes on the second day.

For example, he modified the course of the story and added a sweet and cheesy romantic story.

The effect was quite good.

The person on the other side of the messages couldn’t hold onto their original image anymore.

By the time the story was finished, the final character was completely different from the emotionless listener at the beginning.

“But Lu Yuliu’s chess skills have improved quite a bit.”

Thinking back to the five-in-a-row game they played during the break on the second day of storytelling, Luo Wusheng touched his chin.

If the original Lu Yuliu had a basic level of play, then these past two days she had clearly improved to the bronze level.

She must have practiced hard because she didn’t want to lose to him every day.

Unfortunately, he was at the highest level!

And Little Yuli was clearly not a talented player like his Junior Sister— Well, she was more like a player burdened with bad luck.

Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but chuckle at his own thoughts, almost laughing out loud.

He wondered when he would be able to see that beautiful little girl again.

Shaking his head, he slightly increased his speed and turned a corner.

Before him was a bustling street, and his destination, the Red Blossom Pavilion, was in the diagonally opposite direction.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, Luo Wusheng crossed the street and quietly entered the Red Blossom Pavilion, finding his target.

The maid Xiao Guai, who was waiting to be summoned on the first floor, was now standing in a deserted corner.

She seemed unable to blend into the atmosphere of the Red Blossom Pavilion.

But that was fine, after all, she was only responsible for the courtesan Yao Ji, and the price for listening to Yao Ji’s music was not low. Moreover, she couldn’t engage in certain activities, so the number of wealthy young men who had the money and interest to come and listen to the music on a regular basis was not that high.

As a result, she had fewer opportunities to interact with people throughout the day, but it’s okay, she enjoyed the peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

However, just as she was starting to feel a little bored while twiddling her fingers, she suddenly paused, and her gaze swept around.

After a moment of contemplation, she turned around and hurried upstairs.

She went all the way up to the fourth floor.

In front of the door with a wooden table, a graceful young man in white, carrying a written page, handed it over.

“Long Dahai is grateful for Miss Xiao Guai’s help.”

The handsome young man had a smile on his face.

Taking the handed page and looking at the signed name on it, Xiao Guai, who had been summoned to exchange messages, almost rolled her eyes at the man in front of her.

The identity of this man is almost known throughout the whole Royal City, and he’s still using the fake name “Long Dahai”?

Heh, men.
