nWei Xueying nodded at him and walked towards Chu Luo. “Luoluo, Aunt was just confused for a moment. Uncle and the others have already chided her. You’re alone here…”

nWhile speaking, she quickly sized up the courtyard and guessed, “This must be your friend’s place. It’s not good for you to keep disturbing others here. Besides, you won’t feel as at ease at other people’s houses compared to your uncle’s house.

n“Come back with us. Once you go back, we’ll transfer the Gu worm from your body first thing. After that, I’ll take you out to play. We’ll wait for your college entrance examination results.”

n“Xueying is right.” Wei Zihan walked in. “Ever since you left, Uncle has been looking for you…”

nWei Zihan and Wei Xueying took turns to persuade Chu Luo.

nChu Luo kept her eyes lowered as she listened to them finish speaking. Then, she said, “I won’t go back with you.”

n“You…”

n“I feel more at ease staying here than staying at your place. I don’t have to be so worried all the time. Why would I be so stupid as to go back?”

nChu Luo’s lips curled up into a mocking sneer. “Don’t tell me that she won’t do anything to me in the future. I’m not a fool. She can even transfer the Gu poison in Chu Ting’s body to me behind your backs, and she can also chase me away in private. Or do other horrid things to me. I can clearly feel her hostility towards me.”

nAfter saying this, Chu Luo turned to Chu Zhengyang.

n“If you really feel guilty towards me, let me stay outside.”

n“But…” Not only did Chu Zhengyang feel guilty towards Chu Luo, but he was also worried about her. “You’re clearly unfamiliar with the capital. How can you suddenly be acquainted with someone who is willing to let you stay at their home?”

nHe felt that Chu Luo must have been duped.

nChu Luo looked at his expression and the smile on her face deepened. She lowered her eyes and looked up. “Because this is my…”

n“Because this place allows her to be at ease.” The sudden cold voice made everyone look towards the door.

nWhen they turned to look at the masked man who exuded an icy aura, their hearts skipped a beat.

n“Luoluo, who is he?”

nChu Zhengyang subconsciously frowned. The strong sense of danger made him wonder at once how Luoluo knew such a dangerous person.

nAt the thought of this, his expression turned ashen. “When did you meet him? This kind of person…”

n“What?”

nLi Yan walked over.

nHis steps weren’t fast, but it felt like he was stepping on Chu Zhengyang’s heart, making him feel suffocated.

nWei Zihan and Wei Xueying felt an invisible pressure on them.

nWei Xueying’s face turned pale.

nAs the eldest among the Wei family’s younger generation, Wei Zihan had seen a lot of things. He tried his best to suppress his fear and asked politely, “Who might this gentleman be?”

nThe moment Wei Zihan spoke, Chu Zhengyang came back to his senses. His face turned even more ashen. He looked at Chu Luo, clenched his fists, and controlled his trembling body. “Luoluo, is he your boyfriend? I don’t consent…”

n“Do the two of us need your consent?”

nLi Yan walked up to Chu Luo, who was in a daze. The moment he stood next to her, a powerful aura enveloped her.

nHe said, “I’ll take care of her matters from now on. You can leave now.”

n“You…” Chu Zhengyang suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He was no longer afraid as he shouted at him with a red face and thick neck, “I don’t consent. Luoluo is so young. How can she have a boyfriend…? Even if she wants to have a boyfriend, she has to date someone with spotless family background.”

n“Spotless family background,” Li Yan repeated. His lips suddenly curled up into a chilling smile. “Do you think everything about you right now is spotless?”

n“You…” Chu Zhengyang’s pupils shrank when he heard this. He suddenly staggered backward and tried his best to hide his fear. “Who are you?”

n“Someone you can’t afford to offend.”

nAfter Li Yan finished speaking domineeringly, he grabbed Chu Luo’s wrist and pulled her inside. As they walked, he said to the bodyguards beside him in a low voice, “Send the guests out.”

nThe bodyguards immediately blocked the trio’s view.

n“Please.”

n“No…”

n“Uncle.” Wei Zihan quickly pulled Chu Zhengyang and said to him, “Let’s leave for now.”

nThe strong sense of danger made him subconsciously feel that he had to leave this place immediately to be safe. After saying that, he forcefully dragged Chu Zhengyang out.

nAs soon as the dazed Wei Xueying saw the two of them leave, she jogged after them as if someone was chasing her.

nWei Zihan didn’t stop until he’d pulled Chu Zhengyang to the car.

nHe said, “Uncle, that man was very dangerous. I felt a murderous aura from him.”

n“That’s why I want to take Luoluo away even more.” Chu Zhengyang was furious. “That man doesn’t look like someone on a righteous path. I can’t let Luoluo be ruined in his hands.”

n“Uncle!” Wei Zihan frowned and reminded him, “That man didn’t even let us see his face. He must be someone important. I’ve seen only one person with such a strong aura.”

nAt this point, he immediately denied it. “Impossible. That person clearly can’t walk.”

n“Big Brother.” Wei Xueying guessed who he was talking about and suddenly raised her voice. “How could you have thought of that person? How could Luoluo possibly know that person?”

nWei Zihan looked at Wei Xueying, who suddenly became a little agitated, and didn’t answer her. Instead, he continued to talk to Chu Zhengyang. “Uncle, let’s go back and discuss this with Father and the others first.

n“There are still some important figures in the empire that even our Wei family doesn’t dare to offend. If this person really comes from that kind of family, we can’t afford to offend him.”

nChu Zhengyang’s expression turned even uglier, but he didn’t say anything else.

nWei Zihan opened the car door and pushed him in.

nThe car drove away quickly.

nIn the courtyard.

nAfter Li Yan pulled Chu Luo into the inner courtyard, he let go of her hand and removed his mask.

nChu Luo looked up at the tall man standing against the light and subconsciously narrowed her eyes. She asked in a daze, “What did you do just now?”

nLi Yan pursed his lips and looked down at her for a few seconds before turning to walk into the living room. He had no intention of answering her.

n“Hey!” Chu Luo quickly jogged to catch up and asked, unwilling to give up, “You weren’t helping me out, were you?”

nLi Yan glanced at her coldly and quickly replied, “No.”

nChu Luo: “…”

nLi Yan walked to the door and realized that Chu Luo wasn’t following him. He stopped and glanced at her coldly.

nOnly then did Chu Luo catch up to him and asked, “Then why did you come?”

n“To learn acupoints.”

n“Eh? But I haven’t eaten.”

nAs Chu Luo spoke, she really felt the hunger setting in and quickly walked towards the table.

nAs it was summer, the food on the table hadn’t turned cold. She sat down, picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, and ate it. She then looked up at Li Yan. “Do you want to eat with me?”

nLi Yan’s lips remained pursed, but he walked over.

nA bodyguard immediately brought over a set of cutlery.

nLi Yan sat down to eat.

nChu Luo ate for a while before looking at him and asking, “Did you just come back from somewhere else?”

n“Yeah.”

nChu Luo asked further, “Uncle mistook you for my boyfriend just now. Why didn’t you explain?”

nLi Yan didn’t even look up as he said in a cold voice, “This is your business. Why should I explain?”

n“…”

nChu Luo took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to poison him. Her mind raced and she said seriously, “You’re ruining my reputation like this. What if I can’t get married in the future?”

nLi Yan finally looked up at her with his cold but deep gaze. Just as Chu Luo thought that he was going to say something, he continued eating.

nChu Luo: “…”

nAfter the meal, the two of them stood in the courtyard.

nChu Luo said, “That day, when you were fighting with the others, your taps on the acupoints weren’t very accurate. Let’s practice today.”

nLi Yan looked at her and said in a straightforward manner, “You can’t beat me.”

n“…” Chu Luo glared at him with her big eyes and said indignantly, “Who said I couldn’t beat you!”

nLi Yan glanced at her petite body.

nChu Luo snorted at him and continued, “Later, I’ll tell you how to tap the other party’s acupoints quickly and accurately during a fight… I’ll say it only once. If you can’t remember, don’t blame me.”

nWithout giving Li Yan a chance to reply, she launched an attack on him. When she was close enough, she said, “Begin.”

nSeeing that she was about to hit his acupoint, Li Yan shifted his body and quickly reacted.

nChu Luo suddenly revealed a fox-like smile and used Qinggong.

nShe tapped her toes and quickly jumped behind him, wanting to tap his acupoints.

nLi Yan couldn’t move because his acupoint had been sealed. Chu Luo walked up to him and looked at him smugly. “Didn’t you say I couldn’t beat you? Why aren’t you moving?”

nLi Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He didn’t turn cold on her but asked in a low voice, “Tell me how to undo it myself.”

nChu Luo didn’t hide it from him. “You have to use your internal energy to open up your acupoints. But you don’t have any internal energy.”

n“How do I train my internal energy?”

n“This doesn’t seem to be within the scope of what I must teach you.”

n“Teach me how to train internal energy and I’ll tell you about your father’s generation.”

nChu Luo thought for a while and felt that this was a good deal. She nodded and said, “Alright.”

nWith that, she unsealed his acupoints.

n“I’ll teach you an internal energy cultivation technique when the time comes. You can practice by following that first.”

n“Mm… continue.”

nAfter Li Yan finished speaking, he quickly attacked Chu Luo.
