nChu Luo closed the courtyard door after entering and walked towards the small building without looking back.

nChu Zhengyang watched her enter the building. A while after the door closed, he sighed and said, “Luoluo, Uncle is doing this for your own good.”

nAfter saying that, he slipped the thermos and the bank card in his hands into the gap between the iron gate in the courtyard. After placing them somewhere that no one could see, he left.

nChu Luo took a shower and fell asleep.

nWhen she woke up, it was already midnight.

nShe subconsciously reached out and realized that the other side was empty. Chu Luo then remembered that she had said that she would stay at the old district tonight.

nShe was about to take her phone when the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.

nLi Yan walked in with a bowl of fragrant supper.

nChu Luo looked at him with those sparkling eyes.

nLi Yan walked to the bed and placed the bowl beside it. He pinched her rosy cheeks and said, “Little baddie, you said you were going back to the old city district. Why did you fall asleep here?”

nChu Luo smiled at him and said, “I didn’t want to move after I showered and saw the bed.”

nA trace of heartache appeared in Li Yan’s eyes as he asked her, “Are you hungry?”

n“Hungry~”

nAs Chu Luo spoke, she propped herself up on both sides of the bed and stared at the bowl of sweet soup.

n“What is that?”

n“Velvet egg drop soup.”

nHe then handed the soup to her.

nChu Luo took it and scooped a spoonful to eat. After eating, she narrowed her eyes and said with enjoyment, “It’s the taste our chef made. Delicious.”

nLi Yan rubbed her head. “There’s also pastry. Do you want to eat it?”

n“Yes.” Chu Luo nodded and craned her neck to look. “Where is it?”

n“It’s downstairs. Eat first. I’ll go get it for you.”

nLi Yan was about to stand up when Chu Luo grabbed his clothes. “Go take a shower and change your clothes first. I’ll go down and retrieve it myself after I finish the sweet soup.”

nLi Yan thought for a moment and nodded. He took his pajamas and walked to the bathroom.

nChu Luo glanced at the time as she drank the sweet soup. It was half-past midnight.

nChu Luo quickly drank the sweet soup, put on her slippers, and walked downstairs.

nThe pastry was placed on the dining table. Chu Luo walked over and sat down, looking at her phone as she ate the pastry.

nOn the Internet, news about the Empire Team was trending third.

nThe comments below were dazzling.

nChu Luo glanced at them. This hot news was posted on the Empire’s official website, and the words were filled with praise for them.

nEven the commenters below were saying, “If the young are strong, the empire is strong.” Many people were also discussing the Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Net that Chu Luo had established.

nChu Luo left after reading a little and went to look at the popular posts.

nThere was a particularly popular post about Chu Luo chasing the hackers back to their lair.

n“I heard that during the hacker invasion, three professors from the Imperial University’s Computer Science Department went. Do you think the three professors dealt with the hackers?”

n“I think so. Someone said that it was Chu Luo from Imperial University. I don’t believe that. Although Chu Luo’s results are good, it’s impossible for her to be so heaven-defying as to have such impressive abilities.”

n“Exactly. When the Imperial University official announced this matter this afternoon, I felt that Imperial University must have deliberately used Chu Luo to promote it.”

n“The Empire Team hasn’t won the International Cybersecurity Competition for four consecutive years. Winning this time is a joyous matter to begin with. Coupled with Chu Luo’s participation, Imperial University might be doing this to make the teams of other countries jealous.”

n“Although this kind of momentum is good, have they ever thought that by using up Chu Luo’s reputation so much, there could be a rebound? Will Chu Luo be the next Shang Zhongyong1?”

n“I don’t believe that Imperial University didn’t consider this matter. Maybe they have other plans.”

n“But it’s a pity for such an elfin and beautiful young lady. With this momentum, Chu Luo’s studies will definitely not be peaceful in the future.”

n“It might also affect her life. Didn’t you see how many large corporations have publicly expressed their willingness to recruit Chu Luo into management as soon as she graduates?”

n…

nWhen Chu Luo finished half of the pastry in the lunchbox, footsteps came from the stairs.

nLi Yan walked over and sat beside her.

nChu Luo fed him a piece of pastry.

nLi Yan subconsciously shut his mouth.

nChu Luo blinked her big eyes and looked at him. “It’s delicious. Try it if you don’t believe me.”

nLi Yan still didn’t open his mouth.

nChu Luo snorted at him. “It’s fine if you don’t want to eat. I can finish everything anyway. If I can’t sleep after eating, you can sleep first. I’ll read.”

nWith that, she was about to bring the pastry to her mouth when a large hand grabbed her wrist.

nChu Luo looked at him.

nHe took her hand and took the pastry from it.

nIt wasn’t until he swallowed the pastry that he said, “You’re not allowed to read later. Sleep.”

nChu Luo smiled at him smugly.

n“Ooh…”

nIn the next second, her lips were sealed and she couldn’t smile anymore.

n…

nThe next day, Chu Luo and Li Yan woke up at dawn.

nAfter the two of them washed up, Chu Luo packed some things and went downstairs to walk out of the building.

nLi Yan said as he walked, “A housekeeper will come today to pack all your things. You can stay in the villa outside the school.”

nChu Luo nodded.

nWhen the two of them were about to reach the courtyard door, Chu Luo saw the thermal container leaning against the wall and the bank card on it.

nChu Luo stopped when she got there.

nLi Yan followed her gaze.

nChu Luo pointed at the two items and told him, “Chu Zhengyang brought these yesterday after I came back.”

nLi Yan pursed his lips and looked at the two items. After a few seconds, he said, “You can donate the money on the card. Your father used his life in exchange for this money.”

nChu Luo nodded.

nLi Yan added, “I’ll get someone to handle the money.”

nChu Luo responded with an “Mm” and asked him, “He said that he was going to the ancient tomb to find a medicine that could treat Wei Wei and Chu Ting’s poison. Did you spread the news about that ancient tomb again?”

n“No.” Li Yan frowned. “This news was only released recently.”

n“Who released it?” Chu Luo frowned.

n“Many people.”

n“Mm? What do you mean?”

n“Not only are there people from the empire, but there are also people from other sects. Recently, there has been a rumor that not only is there medicine in the imperial tomb that can revive people from the dead, but there are also many secret books. Most importantly, there are secrets to ascending to the heavens.”

n“…”

nWhen Chu Luo heard this, a trace of anger flashed across her eyes.

n“There are actually people who believe these rumors.”

nLi Yan watched her reaction and touched her face.

n“These were all caused by what happened 18 years ago. There were too many people paying attention at that time. In addition, the things that Chu Zhengyang and another person had brought out from the tomb were indeed extraordinary. This coupled with the rumors that have been spreading for so many years made the claims about that imperial tomb become even more magical.”

nChu Luo stared into his eyes and asked, “Do you want to obtain what’s inside that tomb too?”

nLi Yan looked back into her eyes, and something fluttered in his heart. He said, “I’m already wealthy enough to rival a country. I have everything I want. That tomb isn’t very attractive to me.”

n“Then why did you participate in it before?”

n“To deal with those who don’t have eyes.”

nChu Luo stopped talking when she heard this, but Li Yan looked at her with his deep eyes.

n“Luoluo, is that tomb related to you?”

n“Uh…” Chu Luo was stunned for a moment, but she still nodded. “Yes, it’s related to me.”

nLi Yan’s eyes darkened and his voice suddenly became a little tense. “You’re from that dynasty.”

nChu Luo tilted her head to look at him. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, “So I’m your ancestor?”

nLi Yan: “…”

nChu Luo looked at the suddenly silent Li Yan and laughed out loud.

nLi Yan extended his arm and wrapped it around her waist before sealing her lips.

n“Ooh…”

nWorried that a cleaner would come at this time, Chu Luo quickly pushed him with both hands.

nLi Yan waited until her lips were unusually red before letting go of her. He asked sternly, “Are you still my ancestor?”

nChu Luo opened her mouth and shook her head tactfully. “No.”

nLi Yan narrowed his eyes, which were filled with threat. His voice was extremely low and hoarse. “Then what are you to me?”

nChu Luo rolled her eyes. “Younger sister.”

nLi Yan assumed a posture of kissing her again.

nChu Luo quickly covered her mouth and quickly took two big steps back. She then let go and glared at him. “Big baddie, stop kissing me!”

nLi Yan walked towards her and pinched her chin. He looked into her eyes and said sternly, “Remember, I’m your husband.”

nChu Luo looked into his deep eyes and felt a little embarrassed. Her eyes darted around, and she didn’t look at him.

nLi Yan assumed a posture of kissing her again.

nChu Luo quickly covered his mouth and nodded. “Got it.”

nLi Yan watched her reaction and smiled. “Even if you’re really from that dynasty, you must be very young.”

nHis voice was slightly hoarse. “Luoluo, were you an adult there?”
