It took four days to fly from Europa, the capital of the Western Alliance, to Luo.
Su Xiaosu was quiet on the ship, deep in thought. When Lan Jue glanced at her, he could tell she was emotionally unstable. But if he asked, she'd tell him she was fine.
She just needed time to think things through.
Zhou Qianlin didn't discuss the matter of Zeus's Five Amazons with Lan Jue. Instead, she was unusually gentle, as if to make up for her previous doubts.
Although the two of them couldn't meditate together, they were still able to do some simple training on the spaceship with their abilities.
Lan Jue taught Zhou Qianlin a few of her own Lightning Discipline techniques.
At the same time, she reflected on her experiences with Taiji in the Holy City of Lance.
Ever since she met Zhou Qianlin, and especially after Zhou Qianlin saved her with Silkworm Art and Bridal Gown, Lan Jue's cultivation speed had skyrocketed.
In a few short months, she'd improved more than she had in the past three years.
The dispirited days were over. The pain in her heart was still there, but it wasn't like before.
Four days passed in the blink of an eye. The beautiful and fertile planet Luo appeared before their eyes.
The ship slowly descended, heading for the capital of Luo, Luo City!
Luo City was famous throughout the human world. It was the economic hub of the Northern Alliance. It was also home to the Northern Alliance's largest entertainment market, the Northern Alliance's largest research center, and the Major League.
Planet Luo was the jewel of the Northern Alliance, and Luo City was the heart of Luo.
The ship landed smoothly, and Lan Jue led the two beauties out of the cabin.
The flight attendants looked at him with burning eyes.
The value of a first class cabin wasn't worth mentioning.
He was able to bring two stunning beauties with him on a trip.
This was no ordinary man.
Lan Jue changed into a light blue suit and white shirt.
Because it was a two-piece suit, there was no tie.
Zhou Qianlin, on the other hand, was wearing a long white dress. Her long hair was combed into a ponytail, and she was brimming with youth. Her big blue eyes were like clear crystals.
Su Xiaosu was dressed in black trousers, a black blazer, and a white shirt. She looked very capable.
Her wavy black hair hung loosely behind her. Compared to Zhou Qianlin, she looked more professional. Her light red eyes were also very unique. She followed behind Lan Jue and looked like a beautiful secretary.
Both of them had black hair. One was dressed in black while the other was dressed in white. Their eyes were red and blue respectively.
Su Xiaosu was slightly inferior to Zhou Qianlin, but she was older.
In terms of body development, however, they were more voluptuous.
The two girls were about the same height.
It was impossible for such a combination to not attract the attention of others.
Now that they were on Planet Luo, Lan Jue didn't need to worry about the Pontiff's Castle. She wasn't even afraid of running into them.
So what if she brought Su Xiaosu?
The Pontiff's Castle didn't have any evidence to prove it.
Besides, this was Planet Luo. So what if they could prove it?
The Pontiff wouldn't come to the Great Adept Conference in person.
At most Archangel Metatron would come. Who knew how long it would take for the Archangel King to arrive?
"I'm here." Lan Jue opened her communicator and dialed a number.
"Come on out. I'll be waiting for you at the door." A lazy voice answered from the other end.
As soon as she exited the security checkpoint, Lan Jue saw a man in a dark red suit flirting with a beautiful woman carrying a suitcase.
"A-Cheng!" Lan Jue called out.
Chu Cheng turned his head. When he saw Su Xiaosu and Zhou Qianlin at Lan Jue's side, his eyes lit up. He ignored the beautiful women around him and rushed forward to greet them.
"Ah Jue, why are you always like this?
Why are there so many beautiful women around you?
Hello, Zhou Qianlin. And this young lady is? "
His eyes fell on Su Xiaosu. Zhou Qianlin and Hera were identical. He didn't know what their relationship was, but since he'd brought them along, they couldn't be much different.
Su Xiaosu extended her hand to shake his. "Hello, I'm Su Xiaosu.
I'm the boss's secretary. "
Chu Cheng's face went rigid. He turned his head to look at Lan Jue.
Lan Jue turned to the other side with a pout. "Your girl's waiting for you."
Chu Cheng glared at him, then turned and walked away.
That wasn't his girl. After a brief greeting, the woman walked away, clearly dissatisfied.
Chu Cheng returned, his voice a little awkward. "We just met.
Just a few words, that's all.
Let's go.
The car's outside. "He wrapped an arm around Lan Jue's shoulder and led the way.
As he walked, he said fiercely, "Where did you find this female secretary?
Tell me the truth.
She's got the looks, the temperament, the body. Why can't I find one? "
Lan Jue retorted. "You haven't found one?
Do you have a day off?
Don't the Luo bees collect honey? "
Chu Cheng growled. "Cut the crap.
Can those mediocre women compare to you two?
Where am I going to find a ninth level Adept to be my secretary?
Tell me, how many do you have now?
You're replacing the old with the new.
Mika and the others didn't bring any, but they brought a new one.
What's her background? "
Lan Jue turned to him with a warm smile. "I'm not telling you!"
Chu Cheng fumed. "Are we brothers or not?!"
Lan Jue snorted. "Even if we're brothers, we shouldn't push a good girl into a fire pit.
Anyone who falls in love with a horse like you is out of luck.
Guard against fire, theft, and Chu Cheng. That's a well-known fact.
If Huali is interested, I'll introduce her to him. "
Chu Cheng's face was full of grief. "I knew you two weren't normal. Hmph!
I'm going to find a babe to chat with.
If I succeed, don't make trouble for me. "
Lan Jue gestured for him to follow.
Picking up the Moonfiend Empress?
Lan Jue could only mourn for Chu Cheng.
Sure enough, Chu Cheng's attempt to strike up a conversation failed. No matter what he said to Xiaosu, she only nodded or shook her head with a smile. She didn't say a word.
Her eyes were fixed on Lan Jue, never leaving him for a moment.
Under these circumstances, leaving the city was out of options.
He had no choice but to accept the cruel reality.
The luxurious maglev car stopped at the entrance and the four boarded.
Lan Jue and Chu Cheng sat in the front row. The two girls sat in the back.
Lan Jue and Chu Cheng said, "Is Ali here?
Didn't he say that he was also interested in attending the conference? "
Chu Cheng said, "He's been here for a while now. He's been holding a concert on Planet Luo.
He'd offended Mo Xiao so badly that she'd been forced to hold a series of concerts in recent days.
In the match on Planet Luo, I helped him make another cameo appearance.
The Major League's Adept Tournament has invited him to be the opening guest.
That's a pretty hefty price tag. "
Lan Jue asked, "I don't think he'll be able to participate in the tournament."
Chu Cheng said, "Ali wanted to participate.
But Mo Xiao wouldn't let him.
Mo Xiao said he's not allowed to participate unless he's sure he'll win.
It'll affect his popularity. "
Lan Jue couldn't help but chuckle. "Mo Xiao is a professional when it comes to this.
What about you?
Are you participating? "
"Of course I'm participating," Chu Cheng said proudly.
"What do you think?
Scared now? "
Lan Jue nodded. "Scared. I'm scared I'll beat you until you cry!"
Chu Cheng looked at him in surprise. "You're pretty arrogant, aren't you?
But you've been getting better at hiding yourself lately. I can feel your energy levels dropping a lot.
You're a wolf in sheep's clothing! "
Lan Jue chuckled. "Heh heh heh. You saw through my secret.
You'll know when the time comes.
By the way, there's something I need to tell you. Be prepared.
Skyfire Avenue is being led by your uncle. "
"Huh?" Chu Cheng's eyes went wide. "You're saying he's coming back?"
Of course he knew about the Gourmet's ascension to Paragon status. His entire family was shaken.
For the Hades Bloodline, it was an important development.
The existence of a Paragon meant that the Hades Bloodline had a chance to wrestle with Satan's forces.
Lan Jue's voice trailed off. "I want to remind you to tell your family not to place too much hope in the Gourmet.
His Paragon title isn't Hades, it's Infernal Vanguard.
You know what that means.
You're the only person in your family with a chance of becoming a Paragon. He's left that title for you.
But at the same time, he's left you with the responsibility. "
Chu Cheng's face grew serious. "My uncle!
He's shameless! "
Lan Jue chuckled. "Pressure is motivation. Work hard."
Chu Cheng's voice was irritated. "What's the use of hard work at our level?
We need more epiphanies before we can take another step forward.
But if he's willing to come back to Luo, that's a good thing. No matter what, I have to bring him back home.
It's been so many years, it's about time the conflict faded a little.
I asked Grandpa, and he said with certainty that Auntie wasn't harmed by the family. "
Lan Jue's voice trailed off. "That's your family's business. You deal with it.
As an outsider, I can't say much. But don't force yourself.
I'm afraid the Gourmet has no plans to return to the family. He said he likes Skyfire Avenue.
He likes being the Gourmet.
Oh, by the way, this time your new aunt might also come back with you. "
Chu Cheng nodded. "I don't know when they'll arrive."
Lan Jue's voice trailed off. "Should be soon."
Chu Cheng arranged for Lan Jue and the others to stay at the Intercontinental Hotel where Lan Jue had stayed last time.
Now that they were here, Lan Jue would no longer willfully stay with Zhou Qianlin. It was even more impossible for the three of them to live in the same room.
