257. Chapter 257: Do you like Su Chen that much?

Yi Zhuyue felt inexplicably scalded by his gaze, but she quickly looked away.

Although she did not want to admit it, she still nodded quite unnaturally.

This man had begun calling her Zhuyue on his own initiative; having lived for a million years, almost no one had called her that, except for very close family and friends.

Most people, because of her powerful strength, respectfully addressed her as "My Lady," and even her master simply called her by her title, omitting her name entirely.

In her impression, her master had always been dignified and cold, or at best, the type who was a smiling tiger—all very intimidating—rather than someone like Su Chen, who made people feel very gentle.

"Right, Luo Shen said three days ago that you should go find him once you were finished."

Lv Luo slapped her forehead, only then remembering the instructions Luo Shen had given before leaving.

Su Chen nodded, and just as he was about to head over, he saw Yi Zhuyue standing there in a daze.

He was still a bit worried; after all, many people had seen Yi Zhuyue bound at the time, and if she were to walk around so rashly, it would be very easy for her to be mistaken for an enemy and tied up.

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt uneasy and said to Lv Luo, "I'll leave Zhuyue to you; take her around to have a look."

Suddenly being named, Lv Luo looked at the beautiful Yi Zhuyue beside her and felt very afraid; she subconsciously wanted to shrink back, and her whole person began to ramble incoherently.

"I... she... that..."

"I believe you will definitely not let me down, after all, Lv Luo is the best."

Su Chen added immediately, his face smiling like a spring breeze, full of trust in Lv Luo.

Under such sugar-coated bullets, Lv Luo instantly became proud and forgot who she was, her mind filled only with the fact that Su Chen had actually praised her as the best.

She now felt that she was the happiest Tree Spirit in the whole world.

"Master, don't worry! Lv Luo guarantees to complete the mission and will definitely not let you down!"

Lv Luo immediately patted her chest to guarantee it.

"En."

Su Chen nodded and then left.

Lv Luo kept following Su Chen's figure until it was completely out of sight, only then reluctantly withdrawing her gaze.

"Hmph."

Yi Zhuyue could not help but let out a cold snort at her infatuated appearance.

This immediately attracted Lv Luo's attention, and she only then remembered that there was still an ancestor-level figure beside her.

"Do you like Su Chen that much?"

Yi Zhuyue could not help but ask, expressing a completely skeptical attitude.

Upon hearing this, Lv Luo was instantly unhappy and quickly defended herself: "Of course, Master is the best, best, best master in the whole world!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhuyue could not help but twitch the corner of her mouth, feeling as if she were talking to an idiot; this silly Tree Spirit clearly did not have a very bright mind.

"Although you are a Tree Spirit, why must you submit to a man? Clearly, with your own cultivation, you could carve out a piece of the sky for yourself here on the Tianxuan Continent."

Yi Zhuyue did not understand; clearly, she could turn things around and be her own master, so why submit to a man who was only at the Great Saint Initial Stage? If one asked Lv Luo this, Lv Luo actually could not explain it clearly, but everyone had their own pursuits, and her pursuit was her master.

"Although I follow Master, Master has never treated me as a servant. Even before I became his woman, he treated me as a friend. Even when he needed my help, he didn't directly order me around, and he would give me plenty of rewards for my hard work afterward."

Lv Luo touched her own head; she did not feel like she was submitting to someone else, as Yi Zhuyue thought.

Yi Zhuyue did not expect to receive such an answer. Lv Luo was now considered one of Su Chen's women, but she was not like traditional wives and concubines who stayed shut away in the back courtyard. Su Chen did not stifle the possibility for those women to prove themselves; in fact, many major matters were handed over to women to handle. To give the simplest example, this plan to come to the Qingyun Alliance must be very important.

Yet Su Chen did not look for his capable subordinates or the like, but instead found Lv Luo to accompany him.

In the Immortal World, the words she heard most often were: "With such high achievements, she must have used her body to get ahead; how could a woman have such powerful cultivation? She must have used underhanded methods in secret."

Even her own master, when encountering very important matters, would subconsciously look for capable men to do them, rather than women.

At this moment, Yi Zhuyue did not know what to think.

She was silent and did not speak.

Lv Luo naturally would not think so much. Through the contact just now, she was not as afraid of Yi Zhuyue anymore. Moreover, Yi Zhuyue had no Spiritual Power now, so if something really happened, it would still be up to her to protect Yi Zhuyue.

"Since Master asked me to take you around to have a look, let's go together."

Lv Luo grabbed Yi Zhuyue's hand and said excitedly.

Lv Luo's hand was very warm, soft, and carried a very majestic aura of life, completely different from the cold, emotionless people around her.

This feeling made her feel very strange; for a moment, she actually did not break free from Lv Luo's hand, and by the time she reacted, she was already being dragged around by Lv Luo.

On the other side, Su Chen went to find Luo Shen.

"I was delayed by something halfway."

Su Chen gave Luo Shen an apologetic smile.

"It's nothing, you have serious business to attend to as well."

Luo Shen was brewing tea at the moment, and seeing Su Chen arrive, she poured him a cup and handed it over.

Su Chen took it, drank a mouthful, and could not help but sigh: "As expected of your craftsmanship; thinking about it carefully, it's been a long time since I've had it."

"You're just glib."

Luo Shen smiled slightly and continued, "How is the situation over there being handled? What did she say?"

This "she" naturally referred to Yi Zhuyue.

"She hasn't said anything yet, but I think she will be able to tell the whole story very soon."

Su Chen smiled slightly, a look of certainty revealing itself in his eyes.

"That's good."

Luo Shen also knew that this matter was not something to be rushed.

"Right, Luo Shen, when I entered the Qingyun Secret Realm, I went into an Ancient Tomb and saw this Jade Letter. I always felt there was something different about it, so I thought I'd let you take a look."

As Su Chen spoke, he took that Jade Letter out of his Storage Ring and handed it to Luo Shen.

Luo Shen looked at it carefully but did not notice anything different; however, relying on her intuition, she also felt that this Jade Letter was somewhat strange.

"I currently cannot see what is different about this either, but there is certainly more to it than meets the eye. Why don't you leave this item with me first? Let me study it, and I will give you an answer after some time. How about that?"

Luo Shen looked at Su Chen and spoke slowly.

"Since Luo Shen has spoken, how could I possibly disagree?"

Su Chen smiled slightly and immediately handed the Jade Letter to Luo Shen. (End of chapter)
