Chapter 34: Startled at First Sight, Love at a Thought.
“I’m so sorry. But, Fairy, how did you fly out of the Immaculate Pool?”
Luo Yunxuan’s face flushed, and he quickly changed the subject. Although he was the one who had taken advantage of Su Lingxi, he had been meditating peacefully when she flew out and knocked him over. What was that all about?
“And, this young lady, you look a bit unfamiliar. I wonder which elder’s disciple you are?”
Su Lingxi still hadn’t recovered from her shock and was a bit disoriented by Luo Yunxuan’s barrage of questions.
She answered mechanically, “My name is Su Yuebai. I’m the Fourth Elder’s granddaughter. I came here to get some Immaculate Water to use and happened to encounter Senior Sister Luo’s breakthrough.”
“Senior Sister Luo was afraid that the breakthrough would affect me, so she sent me out. I just didn’t expect her strength to be a bit too great… so I lost my balance…”
Luo Yunxuan had a sudden realization. “So that’s how it is. I’ve been in the sect for three years and have long heard that the Fourth Elder has a granddaughter who has been in the palace all this time, but I’ve never seen her.”
“To see you today, you are truly a national beauty.”
Luo Yunxuan couldn’t help but size up Su Lingxi’s figure. He had to admit that in this Snowfall Sect, besides his sister Luo Chuxue, it was difficult to find a woman who could compare to her.
Now that another such lovable beauty had appeared in the sect, it was hard for him not to be moved.
Su Lingxi didn’t know what Luo Yunxuan was thinking, nor did she want to know who he was or why he was here.
She just wanted to leave this place quickly.
“Wait a minute. You just said that Luo Chuxue broke through?” Luo Yunxuan finally caught the main point of Su Lingxi’s words.
“I haven’t introduced myself yet. I am the Great Elder’s disciple, Luo Yunxuan. Today’s matter was a misunderstanding. I will personally visit you another day to apologize.”
On the surface, Luo Yunxuan wanted to apologize, but in reality, he just wanted to use this opportunity to further his relationship with Su Lingxi.
Only then did Su Lingxi realize that the Luo Yunxuan in front of her was that sister-complex brother.
However, Luo Yunxuan and Luo Chuxue were biological siblings, and there was some resemblance in their features. This resemblance made Luo Yunxuan look quite handsome.
Speaking of which, how could Su Lingxi let him apologize? Not only would her identity be exposed, but he might even investigate her.
“There’s no need to apologize. In the end, today’s matter was caused by me. I should be the one apologizing to you, Young Master.”
Su Lingxi bowed gracefully to Luo Yunxuan. Little did she know that this attitude had made her image in Luo Yunxuan’s heart even more perfect.
Truly a knowledgeable, reasonable, and sensible woman.
“Since Young Master is unharmed, then I should also be leaving. I’m sure that with Senior Brother Luo’s company, Senior Sister Luo’s breakthrough will be extremely smooth.”
After Su Lingxi finished speaking, she left. Luo Yunxuan wanted to say more but couldn’t think of a reason to continue the conversation.
Watching Su Lingxi’s retreating back, Luo Yunxuan was full of longing.
He seemed to have fallen for Su Lingxi.
“Forget it. If two hearts are meant to be together, why should they be together day and night?”
“When my sister comes out, it won’t be too late to ask her in detail.”
Luo Yunxuan reluctantly turned his head and continued to meditate.
As the sky gradually darkened, Luo Chuxue officially stepped into the Nascent Soul realm. She flew out of the pool and straight out of the barrier.
She saw Luo Yunxuan, covered in snow, in a meditative state. Luo Chuxue knew that her brother was worried about her, which was why he was waiting outside.
She reached out and brushed the snow off Luo Yunxuan’s shoulder.
This action also woke Luo Yunxuan up. He opened his eyes and saw that Luo Chuxue’s complexion was full and she no longer had the sickly look from before.
He was so excited that he quickly stepped forward and hugged Luo Chuxue. “Sister, you’re finally awake!”
Luo Chuxue knew that although Luo Yunxuan was a bit controlling, he still cared about her deeply.
She didn’t escape her brother’s embrace, but only comforted him. “Brother, I’m fine now.”
Only then did Luo Yunxuan let go of her and remember to ask about Su Lingxi. “Sister, did you just see Miss Su Yuebai inside?”
Luo Chuxue nodded. “I did. If it weren’t for her this time, I’m afraid it would have taken me a while longer to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.”
“Why, has brother also seen her?”
Hearing this, Luo Yunxuan became a little embarrassed.
It was the first time Luo Chuxue had seen her brother like this. She immediately smiled. “Why, has brother fallen for Miss Yuebai?”
“Mm… I was just stunned at first sight, but now that I think about it… I feel like she’s a bit untouchable…”
Luo Yunxuan couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but he just wanted to see Su Lingxi again.
Luo Chuxue: “Su Yuebai is the Fourth Elder’s granddaughter. If brother likes her, you can visit her another day.”
Luo Yunxuan nodded. It seemed that he would have to visit the Fourth Elder.
“By the way, brother, I haven’t asked you yet. Why were you so strange that day, preparing a whole table of dishes from the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation for me?”
Luo Chuxue had wanted to ask for a long time, and as smart as she was, she had already vaguely guessed something.
“This…” Luo Yunxuan hesitated.
“Brother, you weren’t eavesdropping on my conversation with Su Lingxi, were you?” Luo Chuxue’s willow-like brows furrowed.
“Sister, don’t be angry. I was just afraid that you…”
Seeing Luo Yunxuan admit it, Luo Chuxue was a little angry. “Afraid of what? Afraid that I’ll be deceived by a man? Or afraid that I’ll be hurt by a man?”
Luo Yunxuan said with certainty, “Yes. Father Emperor said…”
“Don’t use Father Emperor to fob me off! I’m grown up now and have my own rights and freedom.” Luo Chuxue turned her back to him and refused to look at him.
Luo Yunxuan also snorted coldly. “Are you going against your brother for that Su Lingxi? To put it bluntly, even if I don’t interfere, do you think the Sect Master will agree to anything happening between you two?”
Hearing the words “Sect Master,” Luo Chuxue’s steps faltered.
Her master was always a great mountain in Luo Chuxue’s heart. Her master had just told her not long ago that she must not fall in love. Had she really not fallen in love now?
She couldn’t be sure herself.
“Nothing will happen between him and me. We’re just getting what we need from each other. I can tell you in advance, brother, that I will go to Su Lingxi’s place one more time. This might be the last time.”
Luo Chuxue’s eyes were downcast, and her expression was dejected. She hadn’t gone to see Su Lingxi for several days, which meant she hadn’t kept her promise.
She didn’t know if he would still be waiting for her in the courtyard.
“Go ahead. I won’t stop you. I hope it’s really the last time.” Luo Yunxuan’s tone softened. Luo Chuxue had almost been in danger because of him. He certainly couldn’t argue with her now.
But was that Su Lingxi really not responsible at all?
If she hadn’t indirectly instigated it, and if she hadn’t used some method to make Luo Chuxue run to her place every day, he would never have done so.
Seeing Luo Yunxuan’s attitude soften, Luo Chuxue let out a sigh of relief and her figure disappeared on the spot.
Her voice came from the flying snow, “I hope brother will keep his word!”
Luo Yunxuan slowly clenched his fists. “Su Lingxi… I was thinking of sending someone to warn you before… I didn’t expect you to push your luck.”
“If this continues, my sister might really be taken away by you!”
Luo Yunxuan turned and left. He seemed to have made some kind of decision.
