Oh no, Senior Brother is angry, I must appease him!
Su Luo smiled, and coquettishly said to Li Tianjue, "Senior Brother~! Don't be fierce with me. I'm so weak, I could be bullied at any moment. Unlike you, Senior Brother, who is so wise and powerful. Once you make a move, those people obediently listen."
"Ah, that's right. Senior Brother worked hard just now. When we get back, you'll have a share of these spirit coins. Won't you not be angry anymore?"
Anyway, this money was going to be used to buy spirit medicine for our Fifth Brother, so giving it to him is the same.
Seeing her soft and adorable appearance, Li Tianjue's heart skipped a beat, and his expression softened a little.
He truly hadn't expected Su Luo to win so much money from a single trip to the Ruyi Pavilion. This girl had quite a knack for making money; she was indeed better at earning than him.
No, how had he been led astray by her?
Li Tianjue realized what he was thinking, and his face darkened again. "Am I talking about money with you? You... forget it, we'll talk about it when we get back."
With outsiders present, he didn't want to say more. With a cold face, he prepared to take Su Luo away.
"Wait, Luo Luo, I'll give you these too."
Seeing the two about to leave, Jiang Muxue took out the more than thirty million she had won and wanted to give it to Su Luo. "I won this just now, but I have no use for it. You seem to be in great need of money, so I'll give it all to you."
"Really?"
Su Luo was delighted but also a little embarrassed. "Forget it, Xiao Xue. You've spent so much time with me today, how can I take your money? Keep it for yourself."
Luo Luo? Xiao Xue?
When had these two become so intimate?
Li Tianjue's dark pupils dimmed. He pulled Su Luo over and said, "No need. Young Master Jiang should keep his money. We don't need it. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave. Farewell."
With that, he pulled Su Luo and left.
Su Luo was caught off guard and almost tripped as Li Tianjue pulled her. She quickly grabbed his arm and shouted, "Senior Brother, don't walk so fast! Don't drag me... Ah, Xiao Xue, I, I have to go back now. I'll come find you again next time..."
Next time?
Li Tianjue dragged Su Luo and flew directly into the clouds.
Finally, they returned to Qingxu Heaven.
Li Tianjue walked ahead with a stern face. Su Luo, rubbing her slightly reddened wrist, followed obediently, like a stern young master and a pitiful little maid.
"Huh? Senior Brother, Junior Sister, you've just returned?"
Chu Tianshu walked over, carrying a long sword inlaid with gems. He laughed heartily, "Perfect timing! Come quickly and take a look. This is an eighth-grade Dharma artifact I just bought, named 'Blazing Sun.' Isn't it nice!"
Su Luo's eyes lit up. "What a beautiful sword, Second Senior Brother. It must have been very expensive, right?"
Chu Tianshu said proudly, "Not expensive, only twenty-eight million."
"Let me see. Huh? Second Senior Brother, the gems inlaid on the sword hilt seem wrong. They look like sixth-grade Fire Essence Jade, but they're actually second-grade Red Spirit Stones. Were you tricked?"
"What, Red Spirit Stones? Damn it! A momentary lapse in judgment. That person actually dared to cheat me! I'm going to find him and settle this!"
"Don't. It's already so late. Let's go tomorrow. Second Senior Brother, I have some good news for you. I earned a lot of money today..."
"Junior Sister is that amazing? Let's go, let's go! Tell me what happened..."
Seeing Su Luo leave with Chu Tianshu, chatting and laughing, completely forgetting about him, Li Tianjue's dark pupils deepened. He rubbed his temples with a headache.
"Su Luo."
Hearing the low voice from behind, Su Luo quickly turned back.
Oh dear, I forgot this man was still here.
Li Tianjue didn't say anything more and turned to leave, but his meaning was clear.
Su Luo had no choice but to follow. She waved goodbye to Chu Tianshu with regret, saying she would tell him next time, and followed Li Tianjue back to his Zizhu Residence.
The two entered the house. Li Tianjue lit a candle. After they both sat down, he looked at Su Luo and said, "Speak. What mistakes did you make today, and how can I remind you so you'll remember?"
"Mistakes? Let me think..."
Su Luo didn't really think she had made any mistakes, but seeing Li Tianjue's cold and stern gaze, she could only offer a perfunctory apology. "Should I not have gone to the Ruyi Pavilion? Or gambled? Senior Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone to such a disreputable place without your permission..."
Li Tianjue said coldly, "Even if I allowed it, it would still be forbidden! I would never allow it!"
"Oh, I see."
Su Luo gave a dry laugh and continued to admit her fault. "Then I'll remember. I'll never go to gambling houses again. I can't win money, even if I win a lot, I can't. Even if I know they're trying to cheat me, I won't expose them. But if I don't go to gambling houses, how will I get money to maintain the Resource Hall? Fifth Brother's medicine money also has no source..."
"That's enough, Su Luo."
Li Tianjue was so angry he didn't know what to say. "I asked you to stay away from danger, and now I'm wrong?"
Su Luo immediately said, "No, no, no. Senior Brother is wise and mighty, how could he be wrong? It's me who is wrong..."
Seeing her cheeky smile, Li Tianjue was furious, but he also knew she was telling the truth.
If it weren't for Qingxu Heaven and their Fifth Brother, she wouldn't have to work so hard. With her honeyed words, she could coax the elders into doting on her, allowing her to live carefree in Qingxu Heaven.
His heart softening, Li Tianjue's tone became much gentler. "Su Luo, I'm not saying you shouldn't earn money, and I know you work hard. But as a disciple of Qingxu Heaven, the first thing is to pay attention to the sect's reputation and not go to those disorderly places. Secondly, you must also pay attention to your own safety..."
This was the first time she had heard him ramble on so much. Su Luo watched him quietly.
Actually, Li Tianjue was quite good too.
Although he was usually serious and often cold and silent, his heart was clear. The other junior brothers, including Xiao Guo, were all very nice people and she liked them, but they all had their own issues. In the entire Qingxu Heaven, Li Tianjue was the most reliable.
Next time she went to earn money, it would be best to bring him along, so she wouldn't have to worry about accidents.
If there's a strong backing, of course, you should hold onto it!
"What are you thinking about, Su Luo? Did you remember what I just said?" Seeing Su Luo lost in thought, Li Tianjue couldn't help but frown again.
Su Luo came back to her senses and quickly smiled, "I remembered, Senior Brother, don't worry."
Seeing her answer so quickly, as if without thinking, Li Tianjue was not reassured at all.
He rubbed his temples again with a headache and said helplessly, "Never mind. Let's talk about business now. Those corpse puppets I saw at the Ruyi Pavilion today... the six in black clothes, they aren't actually people, but corpse puppets refined by the Dark Demon Ridge."
Su Luo already knew this but feigned surprise. "Dark Demon Ridge again? No wonder I felt something was wrong. They didn't bleed even when they were shattered like that."
"The Dark Demon Ridge is the largest and most powerful organization among the demonic sects, with countless sinister methods. Recently, we've discovered three incidents related to them. I will issue some sect missions to have the outer disciples inquire about them as well, hoping to get some information."
Su Luo nodded, feeling a bit troubled. "That spy has been captured for almost a month, and there's still no news. I don't know when the Golden-Eyed Sparrow will arrive. Sigh..."
Li Tianjue said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, what is meant to come will come."
Since he was taking care of it, Su Luo was no longer worried.
She took out everything she had obtained today, several storage bags and a storage ring, and placed them on the table, smiling. "Senior Brother, with so much money and treasures, shall we divide them?"
