After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 58 - The urgency is real

Chapter 58: The urgency is real

“Maybe you can think of it as me suddenly going crazy…?”

“That reason won’t do,” Luo Yueguan gently shook her head.

“Think of it as me suddenly coveting you, wanting to taste what your lips are like…”

“Why should I agree to that?”

“Because you owe me a favor,” Jiang Huai shamelessly began.

“Are you sure you want to use the favor for this?”

“Yes, I really want to kiss you right now.”

“Why?”

“There’s no reason, I just want to.”

But Luo Yueguan just looked at him with a playful gaze.

“If you asked me for dual cultivation, I could agree because it would help restore your cultivation. But if you want to kiss me just for your personal desire, I won’t agree.”

“Is there no room for negotiation?”

“None.”

“Alright.” Jiang Huai nodded lightly, but he didn’t seem too upset.

He just wanted to try and see what a favorability level of 75 meant. He had guessed that Luo Yueguan wouldn’t agree, and he never had any expectations. But now Luo Yueguan was looking at him strangely.

“So what’s gotten into you all of a sudden?”

“Isn’t it normal for a little boy to want a beautiful older sister to kiss him?” Jiang Huai replied confidently.

“Is that so? Then I’ll tell your master later,” Luo Yueguan’s lips curved up.

Jiang Huai’s eyes widened, “Are you serious?!”

“Mm-hmm? You dare to ask me, but you’re afraid to let your master know?”

Jiang Huai was on the verge of tears, “I was just joking, can’t you just take it as a joke?”

“If I had agreed, would your joke have become serious?”

Luo Yueguan extended her hand, gently hooked Jiang Huai’s chin, “I thought your master had taught you to be a gentleman. It seems all men are as lowly as dogs.”

“…” Jiang Huai was completely unable to retort.

“Seriously?” Jiang Huai was about to cry.

“We’ll see how I feel,” Luo Yueguan suddenly stepped forward, inching closer to Jiang Huai.

She tilted her head slightly, her soft red lips almost touching his, causing Jiang Huai to be momentarily stunned. Luo Yueguan seemed to be getting closer until her soft lips brushed lightly against the corner of Jiang Huai’s lips, tickling him slightly.

“This counts as solid evidence,” Luo Yueguan said, looking at Jiang Huai’s dazed expression, and then she burst into light laughter.

Who would scold someone as a dog and then kiss the dog?

“How can this be considered a kiss?” Jiang Huai’s head was spinning.

“Then what more do you want?”

“I want to see the tongue.”

Luo Yueguan’s soft lips parted slightly, and in Jiang Huai’s view, her tongue tip peeked out, gently swaying, the soft little tongue glistening with moisture, tempting him.

Unfortunately, just as Jiang Huai was about to lean in, Luo Yueguan’s fingertip lightly touched his chest, keeping him at bay, not allowing him to advance any further.

Her eyes suddenly turned mocking, “Just looking, you also want to taste?”

“I do.”

“Dream on.”

Luo Yueguan glanced at him sideways, and in an instant, she returned to her dignified and elegant demeanor, the allure in her eyes disappearing without a trace.

“Then, can I have a hug?” Jiang Huai looked at Luo Yueguan in front of him, full of hope.

“Call me ‘Mommy’, and I’ll hold you.”

“…” Jiang Huai’s mouth twitched slightly.

“Do you really have to torment me like this?”

“Is it my fault for tormenting you when it’s your request that’s unreasonable? Should I just obediently listen and let you do as you please?”

“That’s true.” Jiang Huai thought for a moment and shook his head.

“I won’t call you.”

“Then don’t even think about it.”

Luo Yueguan turned around and focused on controlling her sword. Jiang Huai placed his hand on her shoulder, gripping tightly to avoid falling off.

They were not far from Tianxuan Sect now, and he didn’t speak again, still having no concept of what a ‘favorability rating of 75’ meant in his heart.

Luo Yueguan is weird.

No, that’s wrong. Women are all weird creatures to begin with.

……

At Tianxuan Sect.

Luo Yueguan had already arrived at Tianxuan Sect by sword.

Jiang Huai glanced at her, “Are you going back?”

“No, I’m going to complain to your master.”

Jiang Huai gave her a deep look and said nothing more. The spirit sword eventually stopped in Chu Xianning’s courtyard. Chu Xianning was sitting in the pavilion, lost in thought. She hadn’t even brewed a pot of tea, her cool gaze silently watching the distant mountains.

Jiang Huai jumped down from the spirit sword, and Luo Yueguan also put away her sword. She sat down opposite Chu Xianning, who glanced at her.

After a moment, her eyes showed a hint of surprise, “Your cold meridian?”

Every time Luo Yueguan had visited before, Chu Xianning had to use spiritual energy to suppress the cold qi emanating from her body to prevent it from harming Jiang Huai.

But today, Luo Yueguan’s aura was particularly calm, with no trace of coldness flowing out.

“Jiang Huai cured my Ice Soul Profound Body,” Luo Yueguan explained softly with a smile in her eyes.

“Oh,” Chu Xianning nodded lightly.

Luo Yueguan picked up the teapot on the table and began to make tea. Before she could add the tea leaves, Chu Xianning pointed to a tea caddy on the side and said,

“I don’t like your tea.”

“You should change it up once in a while. My tea is just as good as your jasmine tea, and your disciple likes it too.”

“I don’t like it,” Chu Xianning said indifferently.

“Alright, alright, as you wish.”

Luo Yueguan wasn’t annoyed; she just silently took out her tea leaves and brewed them.

Sitting opposite Chu Xianning, she smiled and asked, “How have you been feeling lately?”

“The same as always.”

“I found some medicinal herbs for you and had those old alchemists make a pill. Try it and see.”

Luo Yueguan took out a pill from her storage ring. Chu Xianning glanced at it but didn’t refuse, simply saying softly.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Huai listened to their conversation from the side, feeling a bit sentimental.

Chu Xianning’s willingness to accept something from Luo Yueguan actually showed that she considered Luo Yueguan a very good friend. Otherwise, she would never accept any gifts from others.

While they caught up as old friends, Jiang Huai went to the back mountain to tend to the flowers and plants.

As for whether Luo Yueguan would tattle to Chu Xianning about this matter… Jiang Huai felt that Luo Yueguan probably wouldn’t.

“You really taught a good disciple,” Luo Yueguan suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a playful tone.

“Hm?” Chu Xianning looked up slightly.

“He not only cured my meridians but also opened all my blocked acupoints,” Luo Yueguan said unhurriedly, supporting her cheek with her delicate hand as she spoke to Chu Xianning.

Chu Xianning was momentarily stunned.

She suddenly remembered that Jiang Huai had mentioned to her what needed to be done to open all the acupoints.

But Chu Xianning’s face remained expressionless, only responding lightly.

“That’s good.”

“Why don’t you let him open your acupoints too?” Luo Yueguan blinked her eyelashes slightly.

“No need.”

“Is it really no need, or is it because you’re shy?” Luo Yueguan laughed teasingly.

“At over six hundred years old, are you still shy in front of a young boy?”

Chu Xianning turned her face away, “I just don’t need it.”

“Or is it because you don’t see him as a young boy, so you’re too nervous to dare?” Luo Yueguan teased.

“You’re noisy,” Chu Xianning’s brows showed a hint of displeasure.

Luo Yueguan had known Chu Xianning for many years and knew that if she said a few more words, Chu Xianning would send her away, so she didn’t continue.

“Alright, alright, I was just giving you a heads-up. With all the acupoints open, spiritual energy flows much smoother, and it might even benefit your injury.”

Luo Yueguan’s voice carried a hint of sigh.

“He not only cured Qingyu but also me. By all rights, I owe him a huge favor. If he ever asks me for dual cultivation to heal, I won’t refuse.”

After a moment, Luo Yueguan suddenly laughed.

“But you were right after all. I promised him that as long as he took good care of Qingyu for me, I would agree to any condition he asked for, but he never actually asked for dual cultivation. He just hoped that I would treat Qingyu well in the future.”

“I’ve told you before, don’t think of him as so despicable,” Chu Xianning’s brows relaxed, her voice seemingly carrying a barely noticeable hint of pride.

But Luo Yueguan just laughed, “That’s why I say you don’t understand men. If a man wants more than just your body, it means he also wants your heart. It’s okay to lose your body, but if you lose your heart… that’s dangerous.”

“Why do you always think so poorly of him?”

“Aren’t all men like that? They always want what’s in the pot while eating from the bowl. If you insist on speaking up for him, then how do you explain that even after he got engaged to my Qingyu, he still… harbors improper thoughts towards you?”

“He…”

“He doesn’t harbor improper thoughts towards you? You can lie to me, but don’t deceive yourself,” Luo Yueguan scoffed coldly.

On this matter, Chu Xianning couldn’t argue with Luo Yueguan, so she simply said coldly, “I said there’s nothing.”

“Alright, alright, whatever you say is right,” Luo Yueguan took a sip of tea from the table, the faint scent of jasmine lingering on her lips and teeth.

She winked at Chu Xianning, “Good tea.”

“It’s not yours,” Chu Xianning turned away.

“I don’t have much left for myself.”

“Then have Jiang Huai make more.”

“No.”

The tea Chu Xianning drank was always provided by Jiang Huai on a regular basis. She never actively asked for it.

After all, what kind of master asks their disciple for gifts?

“You’re just too stubborn,” Luo Yueguan looked helplessly at Chu Xianning in front of her.

“So what do you really think?”

“I think it’s good for him to marry Qingyu,” Chu Xianning turned away again, her gaze drifting to the clouds in the distance.

“Then shall we set the wedding date for when they turn twenty? It’s just right at the end of the year, eight months from now.”

Luo Yueguan quietly watched Chu Xianning’s eyes. Chu Xianning didn’t speak, but Luo Yueguan continued.

“After all, they’re not young anymore. Many cultivators get married at fifteen or sixteen. If we delay any longer, it’ll be too late, Chu Xianning.”

“Then let it be at the end of the year,” Chu Xianning answered indifferently.

“That’s what you said, oh. I’ll tell Jiang Huai later, and you better not regret it.”

“What do I have to regret?” Chu Xianning still didn’t look back.

“Then why don’t you dare to look me in the eyes?”

Luo Yueguan watched Chu Xianning’s trembling eyelashes, “You’re not secretly crying in bed at night, are you?”

Chu Xianning turned her head, “You should go back. It’s so noisy here.”

“Getting anxious, I see.” Luo Yueguan laughed, her whole body shaking with mirth.
