One could be strong without desire!
It was true that Bai Qiuxue was an excellent girl. A fair and graceful lady was a good match for a gentleman.
However, Lu Li was clear about his own capabilities. He really had no desire to pursue Bai Qiuxue.
First of all, he would not join the Bai Family. Second, he could not expose his identity as a disciple of the Lu Family. Third, Madam Yan said that Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were going to marry a Human Sovereign Realm warrior. He did not have the ambition to reach the Human Sovereign Realm.
He had too many things to do. Before he could save his parents and get Lu Ling back, he would not let his feelings bind him.
Therefore, he had frozen his heart. He only had pure appreciation for Bai Qiuxue.
He had no special thoughts. His eyes were clear when he looked at Bai Qiuxue.
He had no greed, no impulse or possessiveness. He just saw her as an ordinary beautiful girl.
"Nothing. I just came to check on your wounds."
Bai Qiuxue reacted quickly. She smiled sweetly and said, "I can see that you can walk now. You must be recovering well. I am relieved."
"Oh!"
Before Lu Li could say anything, Bai Qiuxue suddenly stood up, bowed and said, "This time, I am here to thank you. Thank you for saving me twice in the Tomb of Dragon King. I will always remember your kindness."
Lu Li didn't help Bai Qiuxue since he was wounded. He said with a smile, "Lady Qiuxue, you are too kind. This is not worth mentioning.
Of course … it is my good fortune to be remembered by you. All the Young Masters of the Thousand-island Lake will be jealous of me. Ha, ha, ha. "
Looking at how calm Lu Li was, Bai Qiuxue couldn't help but say, "Lu Li, you are really special. Even the Young Masters of the Thousand-island Lake are not as good as you."
"Thank you!"
Lu Li was still calm. He didn't feel flattered at all. He said with a smile, "I should be grateful to be praised like this by you, Lady Qiuxue."
Lu Li's indifference made Bai Qiuxue feel even worse.
Usually, it was her aura that could suppress a group of Young Masters. She could do it freely. Now, she felt she was being suppressed by Lu Li. She became cautious.
"Does he really have no feelings for me?"
Bai Qiuxue was surprised. Women's minds were often contradictory.
Even though she knew it was impossible for her to be with Lu Li, she still hoped that her charm could conquer Lu Li.
In the past, all the young masters were infatuated with her. Now that there was an exception, she felt uncomfortable.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, Bai Qiuxue seriously asked, "Lu Li, can I ask you a question?"
Lu Li nodded and said, "Lady Qiuxue, go ahead. I will tell you everything that I can. As for the things that I cannot say … at least, I will not lie to you."
Lu Li seemed to have guessed what Bai Qiuxue was going to ask so he answered her in advance.
Autumn Snow was a little disappointed, but she still asked, "I would like to ask if that roar of yours was a soul related profound skill?"
"This …"
Lu Li really didn't know about this. Everyone could only have one Bloodline Skill, but he had two. He didn't even know.
He thought about it and said, "I can only tell you — I don't know if it's true or not, because I don't know myself."
Seeing the sincerity in Lu Li's eyes, Bai Qiuxue nodded slightly and then asked, "Then can you tell me, did you learn this Xuan Skill in the Tomb of Dragon King?"
Bai Qiuxue wanted to ask if Lu Li got the Xuan Skill from the Tomb of Dragon King, but she didn't know how to answer.
Lu Li found it easy to answer. He said with certainty, "Yes, I didn't know it before. I only learned it at the Mountain of Dragon King."
"Sure enough …"
Bai Qiuxue misunderstood Lu Li. She thought that he got the Xuan Skill from the Tomb of Dragon King. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Then can you sell one to the Bai Family?
A handwritten copy will do. You can name the price. "
"A handwritten copy?"
Lu Li laughed involuntarily. How could there be a handwritten copy?
This was the information that popped up directly in his mind.
Only he could learn it. It could not be passed down in words. Even if he did, others wouldn't be able to learn it. Lu Li forced a smile and said, "I am sorry, Lady Qiuxue. I am not trying to hide it. If I can make a copy, I will definitely sell it to the Bai Family.
Since you have asked, I cannot say no. This … really can't. As for the reason, don't ask. "
Bai Qiuxue was disappointed again. But she felt that Lu Li didn't lie to her. She nodded and said, "Okay, okay. I understand. I am being rude."
Lu Li smiled but didn't explain. Bai Qiuxue asked one last question, "Lu Li, will you join the Bai Family?
I want to … hear your real thoughts. "
Lu Li wanted to say that he would think about it. But looking at Bai Qiuxue's pretty eyes, he didn't have the heart to lie to her. He just smiled and said nothing.
Bai Qiuxue was smart. She knew the answer from Lu Li's smile.
She didn't try to persuade him. She stood up and nodded, "Lu Li, don't worry. I will not say anything. Whatever happens, we will always be friends."
"Oh!"
Bai Qiuxue took out a token from her Interspatial Ring and said, "When we were on the winding mountain road, I said that if we get treasures, we will share them equally.
I got a Heaven Grade Xuan Skill. I will take it. The Xuan Crystals are in here.
Take care of your wounds. I am leaving now. "
Lu Li stood up and watched Bai Qiuxue leave. Even though he had told her the answer, Lu Li wasn't too worried.
He could feel Bai Qiuxue's sincerity. She was a girl with a pure heart, intelligence and beauty.
Since she said so, she would keep her words. She would not betray Lu Li. She would help Lu Li when he was in trouble.
"This girl is nice. Only a Human Sovereign Realm warrior can be a match for such a beauty."
Lu Li exclaimed to himself. He picked up the token and went back to his room. As for how many Xuan Crystals were in the token, Lu Li didn't care anymore. He was not in need of Xuan Crystals now.
He didn't want to think about anything else. He went into closed-door cultivation, cultivating Xuan Energy and healing his wounds at the same time.
For the rest of the time, nobody came to disturb him.
Madam Yan and Bai Qiuxue never came. Only Chief Steward Bai would come to see him once in a while. He was still respectful.
Four days later, Lu Li's wounds were almost healed. He decided to go back to the Blood Evil Island.
The other young masters and young ladies had gone back a long time ago. It was awkward for Lu Li to stay here alone.
He told Chief Steward Bai about it. Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Gu all came to see him off.
Madam Yan thought highly of him. She asked Chief Steward Bai to escort him to the Teleportation Formation in person.
Once again, he told Lu Li to think about it and that the gate of the Bai Family would be open for him at any time.
Normally, they only needed to send Lu Li to the Teleportation Formation at the Bai Emperor Mountain. So many people had come to see Lu Li off.
Bai Qiuxue suddenly said, "Lu Li, let's go. I will send you to the Heaven Prison City."
Madam Yan looked at Bai Qiuxue meaningfully but did not say anything.
Bai Xiashuang and Bai Gu were taken aback. Bai Qiuxue walked into the Teleportation Formation with a smile. Lu Li cupped his fists to Madam Yan. Bai Xiashuang followed after some thoughts.
With a flash of white light, Lu Li and the other three disappeared into the Teleportation Formation. Bai Gu, Bai Ying and the others looked at Madam Yan. Bai Gu said, "Madam, will Qiuxue …"
"It's fine."
Madam Yan waved her hand and said, "Qiuxue is a smart girl. She knows what to do. Go back now. Don't worry."
After Lu Li and the other three teleported down, they boarded a luxurious chariot and went straight to the Heaven Prison City.
They stopped at the Teleportation Formation. Lu Li stood up and said, "Thank you for seeing me off. Shall we call it a day?"
Bai Qiuxue smiled gently and walked out with Lu Li. They stood outside the Teleportation Formation together.
The escorts that were guarding here knelt down one by one. Soon, the plaza was in an uproar.
Lu Li smiled bitterly to himself, looking at the many eyes that were looking at him.
Bai Qiuxue had sent him here on purpose to show all the forces of the Thousand-island Lake how much she and the Bai Family valued Lu Li. In the future, if anyone dared to hurt Lu Li, they would have to consider if the Bai Family would be angry.
