Chapter 1041

After leaving Yushu's bedchamber, Su Xuan took Lu Su toward the palace where he resided.

Lu Su was very familiar with this place.

Usually, besides refining elixirs and making medicine here, Su Xuan also taught her medical skills.

Although the time she had spent with Su Xuan was not very long, Lu Su had already regarded Su Xuan as her teacher.

Of course, deep down, she actually had a lot of curiosity about this teacher.

He clearly did not look much older than her, yet he was learned and talented, as if he knew everything; even the legendary, supreme Emperor was incomparably respectful toward Mr. Su.

"Mr. Su, tell me, are all men like this?"

Lu Su asked Su Xuan in a sorrowful tone.

"If he never liked me, why did he have to provoke me?"

It was precisely when her sister had forced Yi Xiaochuan to answer who he liked that Yi Xiaochuan had replied it was her.

That was why she believed Yi Xiaochuan liked her, and subsequently, when Yi Xiaochuan left Peixian, she chose to run away from home to follow in his footsteps.

In the end, she had not expected this.

Everything she had done, in the end, was like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water—just an emptiness, a delusion.

Thinking of the conflict between herself and her sister, and thinking of how her sister had even unpicked the gold thread from her favorite piece of clothing for his sake,

Lu Su suddenly felt a wave of self-reproach.

Had she known that liking Yi Xiaochuan would cause conflict with her sister, she would rather have never met this man and never liked him; if that were the case, the relationship between her and her sister would have remained as good as before.

Su Xuan heard the complexity in Lu Su's words and said indifferently: "I am not clear about other men, but as for Yi Xiaochuan, I know a thing or two; he is an out-and-out scumbag."

"Scumbag?"

Lu Su had never heard this term before and could not help but be stunned. For some reason, when she heard Su Xuan speaking words she did not understand, she thought of Yi Xiaochuan once again.

Yi Xiaochuan was the same, often saying things that people could not understand and using those novel words.

Su Xuan also realized he had used a term from later generations and hurriedly explained to Lu Su: "The so-called scumbag refers to the fact that Yi Xiaochuan is not a good match."

"Admittedly, he is a good person with a kind heart, but his character is weak. When encountering problems, he always likes to escape and is afraid of taking responsibility. Such a character dictates that he is unlikely to achieve great things. Often, many matters will turn into bad things because of this character of his, subsequently implicating those around him."

"Um, sorry, I digressed a bit." As Su Xuan spoke, he felt he had strayed from the topic again, so he returned to the subject: "You should be very familiar with Gao Yao, right!"

He mentioned a person to Lu Su.

Lu Su nodded; naturally, she was very familiar with Gao Yao.

"You probably don't know that Gao Yao's younger sister was Yi Xiaochuan's ex-girlfriend. The so-called girlfriend, in the language of this era, probably means something like a fiancée."

"What?!"

Lu Su was suddenly shocked; she had not expected that the relationship between Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao was actually this.

"Then why didn't Xiaochuan marry Mr. Gao Yao's sister? Could it be that his sister met with some accident?" Lu Su asked the doubt in her heart. In her view, since Yi Xiaochuan had a fiancée, he should have married her.

Back then, when her father asked Yi Xiaochuan if he was married or had a partner, the other party had replied that he was neither married nor betrothed.

This could only mean that perhaps some accident had occurred.

Su Xuan replied: "Gao Yao's sister did not meet with any accident; the ones who truly met with an accident were Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao."

"It was probably because of an accident that they ended up in a foreign land and could not return."

"So that's how it is. Is that why Xiaochuan and Mr. Gao Yao are so anxious to find a way home?"

Lu Su did not know where Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao's home was, but Su Xuan's words explained some of her initial questions.

"That is the case." Su Xuan nodded and continued: "Although Yi Xiaochuan's fiancée was Gao Yao's sister, before coming here, the relationship between the two was actually not good. The reason was that Yi Xiaochuan was used to being a wanderer and was accustomed to flirting outside, while Gao Yao's sister was a woman with an extremely strong desire for control; the two had numerous conflicts because of this."

"As a brother, Gao Yao naturally could not stand his sister being bullied, so he went to settle the score with Yi Xiaochuan. Unexpectedly, due to an accident, the two of them ended up in this world."

"So, from the very beginning, the person you met was not a good man."

"Yi Xiaochuan, heh..."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Su Xuan's mouth, looking dismissive.

Lu Su had originally been sad about Yi Xiaochuan falling for Yushu, but now, knowing some of Yi Xiaochuan's true nature, she suddenly felt it was not that painful anymore.

If Yi Xiaochuan was not a good match to begin with,

it was not too late for her to know the truth and the answer at this moment.

She suddenly had the thought of wanting to return home immediately.

She wanted to see her father and sister, then find her sister, apologize to her in person, and tell her Yi Xiaochuan's true face, so that her sister would not be sad for Yi Xiaochuan and would no longer be obsessed with him.

Her sister deserved to find a better man.

After all, she was so smart and so beautiful.

Putting away the thought of going home, Lu Su looked at Su Xuan in front of her and said: "If only all men were like Mr. Su."
