Li Tianjue nodded slightly, remaining silent.
Jiang Muxue greeted Chu Tianshu again, then looked at Su Luo, a hint of pleasant surprise in her eyes, "Miss Su, you are also a disciple of Qingxu Heaven? I have always admired Qingxu Heaven, and I never expected to meet a few of you today. It is truly a blessing of three lifetimes."
"We are friends, Young Master Jiang, you are too polite." Su Luo smiled, "Thank you for today. Why don't you come to Qingxu Heaven for a visit? Our place is very beautiful. I'll take you up the mountain..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Tianjue said coldly, "Enough, Su Luo. We still have things to do. Don't always think about playing. Young Master Jiang is also busy and doesn't have time to accompany you all the time."
Bringing someone you just met to Qingxu Heaven, she was truly too naive.
Jiang Muxue understood Li Tianjue's meaning and didn't mind, smiling and bidding farewell to Su Luo.
Su Luo was a little regretful. She asked for Jiang Muxue's temporary residence, saying she would find him to play another day, and only then reluctantly followed Li Tianjue and Chu Tianshu away.
The onlookers dispersed, and the street returned to its original state.
"Junior Sister, who is he?" Chu Tianshu asked as they walked.
"He's a friend I just met today, named Jiang Muxue. He's very generous!"
Mentioning this, Su Luo was particularly appreciative. She beamed and recounted what had happened that day, then whispered, "Second Senior Brother, you won't blame me, will you, for being so harsh on the Third Prince..."
Chu Tianshu quickly replied, "How could I? Junior Sister, don't take today's events to heart. My third brother has always been useless. I apologize to you and Senior Brother on his behalf. I will compensate for any losses!"
Su Luo smiled, "No need, Second Senior Brother. I earned a lot of money today, over thirty million!"
"So amazing? Then Second Senior Brother must reward you!"
"No need..."
"Yes, yes! The first time I saw Junior Sister, Second Senior Brother knew you were extraordinary. As expected, you are worthy of being Chu Tianshu's Junior Sister, hahahaha!"
"Second Senior Brother, don't laugh so loudly, mind your image..."
Listening to their cheerful banter, Li Tianjue's furrowed brow relaxed, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
It seemed she really had some skills, and she was indeed better than him at making money, but she was too prone to causing trouble. Aside from that, he was quite satisfied.
Perhaps the Resource Hall could be handed over to her with peace of mind?
Soon, the three of them returned to Qingxu Heaven by flying carpet.
Back at Feihong Residence, Su Luo sprawled on the couch without any pretense, her eyes beaming as she looked at the storage bags filled with spirit coins on the table. A full thirty-seven million... she had finally saved enough for Qingxu Heaven's expenses for the next three months, and her pressure could be relieved a little.
"You are very happy?"
Suddenly, Li Tianjue entered the room silently.
Just as Su Luo was about to sit up, she saw him and lazily lay back down, smiling lazily and proudly, "Senior Brother, aren't you happy? This is only the first time, and I've earned so much. Am I better than you?"
"A total of fifteen people were injured today, not to mention the things that were smashed. The potential consequences... Su Luo, you are quite good at finding trouble." Li Tianjue said lightly, his hands clasped as he watched her.
Su Luo froze, her smile stiffening on her face.
This man, couldn't he praise her even once? This little matter was nothing.
"You still call me your guard and order me around, Su, Senior, Sister, you are very capable." Li Tianjue looked at her with cold eyes, a faint chill emanating, startling Su Luo into scrambling upright.
"Oh, Senior Brother, don't be upset. I acted according to the circumstances. How could I dare treat you as a guard?"
Su Luo forced a smile and quickly scurried up to Li Tianjue, acting cute, "Today, it was all thanks to Senior Brother's wise and mighty presence that those people were intimidated. Otherwise, my mediocre skills would have been in trouble, and I wouldn't have earned any money..."
"Mediocre skills?"
Li Tianjue stared at her intently, as if scrutinizing her soul, "Su Luo, I've known you for less than two months, and you've cultivated from a seventh-tier Xuan Shi to a second-tier Xuan Tianshi. Others can't even fly as fast as you, so what are you being modest about?"
"Not at all, just average..."
Her heart trembled, and Su Luo felt Li Tianjue's gaze was incredibly sharp.
If he kept looking, would he be able to see clearly that the soul within her was no longer the original one, and that she possessed a divine artifact? Did this man's eyes come with X-ray vision?
"Also, didn't you say you wanted to reward me handsomely? A meal is all there is? And you didn't even pay for it."
Seeing Li Tianjue getting closer and closer, Su Luo felt her little fortune was about to fly away.
"Senior Brother, you must be tired after a day's hard work."
Su Luo quickly pulled Li Tianjue to sit down, then moved behind him and said obediently, "Sit properly, I'll give you a massage. I guarantee it will relieve fatigue and make you feel refreshed, more comfortable than meditating and cultivating."
As she spoke, her small hands began to massage Li Tianjue's shoulders.
Li Tianjue trembled, feeling as if fine currents were falling onto his shoulders, circulating and darting within his body, a strange tingling sensation instantly spreading throughout his entire person.
"What are you doing?"
He was about to stop her, but he didn't know how Su Luo was massaging him. His entire body jolted, and half of his body went numb.
Su Luo, unaware, even infused a wisp of spiritual energy into Li Tianjue's body, massaging him diligently and fawningly, "Senior Brother, don't move, just enjoy it. This is called massage. Is it comfortable?"
She just wanted to divert his attention, so he wouldn't try to find fault and split her earnings, and she didn't care about the effort.
The tingling sensation continued to spread through his body. Li Tianjue, accustomed to the initial strangeness, soon felt comfort.
He couldn't help but relax, allowing those small hands to continue massaging his shoulders, neck, and back. The pressure was neither too light nor too heavy, giving him a feeling of floating in the clouds, and he even didn't want it to stop.
"Not bad, continue." He narrowed his eyes.
"Senior Brother, you like it? Then I'll massage you more..."
Just then, someone in the courtyard called out, "Su girl, Su girl, are you there?"
It was the Sixth Elder!
Before Su Luo could react, Li Tianjue's heart tightened. He stood up quickly, tidied the wrinkles on his clothes, his heart pounding, but his face remained calm, as usual.
"Sixth Grandfather, I'm here!" Su Luo replied.
The Sixth Elder hurried in, his face full of smiles. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the two people in the room, "Oh, Tianjue is here too? You two are... Oh dear, did Sixth Grandfather interrupt you? Then I'll come back later..."
Su Luo quickly grabbed him, "No, Senior Brother and I were just chatting. Sixth Grandfather, don't leave."
The Sixth Elder looked at the well-matched couple and sighed, "Alas, Su girl, you two look so compatible, but you insist on saying it was a misunderstanding..."
Mentioning this matter, he recalled Su Luo's explanation from three days ago.
They both said they had been mistaken and that it was not what it seemed, telling them not to overthink it.
This left the few old fellows disappointed for half the night. They had been preparing for a grand wedding and were expecting to hold their grandson, but it turned out to be nothing. Disappointed, they hadn't slept well for two nights.
"Sixth Elder, if you have something to discuss with Su Luo, then I will leave first."
Li Tianjue calmed himself down, bowed, and was about to leave.
The Sixth Elder came back to his senses and remembered the important matter, "Wait, Tianjue, since you are here, this matter must be told to you too. Qi'er is about to take the third dose of medicine, and the missing ingredient, the Red Flame Jade Bone Flower, has news!"
"Really? Where?" Su Luo's eyes lit up with joy.
