Chapter 121: Jealousy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was 9 p.m.
With the maidservants and guards escorting the carriage, it slowly stopped at the entrance of the Qin residence.
Song Ruyue got out of the carriage first. She glanced coldly at a certain someone behind the carriage before personally helping her daughter out.
“Brother-in-law…”
“Brother-in-law, what? It’s already so late. Why are you still calling for your brother-in-law? Aren’t you ashamed? Don’t call him that anymore!”
“Mother, I just want to tell Brother-in-law to come into the residence together with us…”
Song Ruyue berated, “He doesn’t know how to go in himself? Why do you have to call him? Does he not have legs, so he needs you to support him, or does he not have eyes and need you to guide him as he walks?”
Qin Weimo blushed.
She lowered her head and did not dare to say anything else. Her maidservants helped her up the stairs.
After walking up the steps, she could not help but look back.
“Stop looking!”
Song Ruyue shouted again with a cold face.
Qin Weimo blushed and lowered her head as she entered the residence.
Luo Qingzhou silently followed four to five meters behind.
After entering the residence.
Walking on the limestone path, Qin Weimo suddenly said, “Mother, is Father here? I have a few words to say to him.”
Song Ruyue looked at her and asked, “What do you want to say? You can tell me. He probably hasn’t returned yet.”
Qin Weimo was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll tell him tomorrow then.”
Song Ruyue looked displeased. “Why? You have started keeping secrets from your own mother? If you can tell your father, why can’t you tell me?”
Helpless, Qin Weimo could only say, “It’s about business. I was bored the day before, so I went to the accounting room to take a look and realized that the accounts were a little off. I want to tell Father about this.
Song Ruyue stared at her in shock. “The accounts are wrong? Someone embezzled our money?”
Qin Weimo’s gaze flickered. She looked away and said gently, “I might be wrong. I’ll go and tell Father tomorrow so that he can do a check again.”
Song Ruyue nodded solemnly and said, “I’ll tell him when he comes back tonight.’
Qin Weimo hesitated for a moment before asking softly, “Mother, in the past, you always told me not to get too close to Zixi. I-is there some conflict between our family and the Song family?”
Song Ruyue was silent for a moment before she said with a smile, “What conflict can there be? Even if there is, it has nothing to do with the younger generation… I only told you that because I didn’t want you to be influenced by them. All of them have started expressing interest in boys and filling their heads with nothing but boys.”
As the mother and daughter spoke, they entered the courtyard at the back.
Luo Qingzhou entered through the arched door at the side and passed through the garden corridor. When he passed by the “Ling Chan Moon Palace” where First Young Miss Qin lived, he stopped for a moment. He did not enter and continued forward.
It was already late.
He decided not to pay his respects to Qin Jianjia today.
Anyway, they knew that he was out tonight.
They probably would not care what time he got back.
However, just as he took a few steps forward, he suddenly realized that a cold figure was standing under the tree in front of him.
She held a sword in her arms and gave him a sidelong glance. She stood there unmoving, as cold as ice.
Luo Qingzhou stopped in his tracks and looked at her. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, a clear voice suddenly came from behind him. “In ancient times, there were heartless men who didn’t bother to speak to their wives anymore as they had a new lover. Today, there’s a stinky Sir who passed by but didn’t enter. He’s a fickle man who is never satisfied with what he has!”
Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked at the person who spoke. “How am I a fickle man who’s unsatisfied with what I have?”
Bai Ling held a flower in her hand and leaned against the door frame of the Ling Chan Moon Palace. She threw a glance at him and said, “There are so many beautiful women on the pleasure boat tonight. It’s said that there are even naked courtesans. That’s why you passed by Miss’ place but didn’t enter. Doesn’t that show that you can’t forget about those naked courtesans from before and are still thinking about them? That’s why you’re a fickle man who’s unsatisfied with what you have.”
Luo Qingzhou asked, “Who told you that they are naked?”
Bai Ling sneered. “Women who like to seduce men from respectable families like to be naked, isn’t it?”
Luo Qingzhou ignored her.
However, since he had already been seen and the road ahead was blocked by that person, he definitely had to go in and pay his respects.
He could only turn back.
Bai Ling frowned and did not speak again.
“All right. I’ll be going back now.”
With that, Luo Qingzhou left.
Bai Ling stood quietly in the corner for a while before turning around and entering the garden. She walked to the pavilion and looked at the figure in front of the table with a complicated gaze. She hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “Miss, you can’t possibly really want Sir to… to…”
Qin Jianjia turned her gaze to the pond. She was silent for a moment before saying, “If we do that, we might be able to buy her some time. My current cultivation level is still insufficient.’
Bai Ling fell silent.
Qin Jianjia suddenly looked at her from the side. “You can’t bear to part with him?”
Bai Ling was slightly stunned. Then, she blushed and lowered her head. “No, that is not the case…”
Then, she looked up and said, “But… Miss, there will definitely be someone who can’t bear to part with him.”
Luo Qingzhou left the Ling Chan Moon Palace. After taking a few steps, he realized that the cold figure was still holding her sword and standing under the tree.
After a slight hesitation, he walked over and cupped his hands. “Miss Xia Chan,
I have already gone to pay my respects to First Young Miss.”
He guessed that this girl was standing here in the middle of the night with a sword in her arms, blocking his way, because she wanted him to pay his respects to First Young Miss Qin.
Xia Chan looked at him coldly but she did not reply.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her expression. She did not look unwell like before. She seemed to have recovered. He asked concernedly, “Are you feeling better?”
The girl looked away and raised her chin. “Hmph!” Luo Qingzhou stared at her speechlessly.
“Umm, well, it’s getting late. I’ll go back first.”
Luo Qingzhou could not be bothered to talk to this arrogant girl anymore. He cupped his hands and walked past her.
The girl turned her face away and looked at his back.
It was only when the figure gradually disappeared into the night that she retracted her gaze and walked toward the Ling Chan Moon Palace.
Bai Ling stood at the door with a faint smile on her face. She looked at Xia Chan and said, “Chanchan, I smelled him earlier. Sir only has the smell of Second Young Miss on him. He doesn’t have the smell of other women, nor does he have the smell of those naked courtesans. Sir isn’t unsatisfied with what he has.”
The girl ignored her and prepared to enter the house.
Bai Ling hesitated for a moment before saying, “Wait, Chanchan, I have something to tell you. Second Young Miss…”
The girl stopped in her tracks. She had her back to Bai Ling and stood there, unmoving.
After hearing this, she entered the courtyard and returned to the house. However, she did not go to bed. Instead, she stood silently in the darkness in the corner of the room for a long time.
When Luo Qingzhou returned home, Xiao Die was embroidering flowers in her room. When she heard him, she immediately came out to welcome him.
Luo Qingzhou entered the house and said, “Xiao Die, sleep by yourself tonight. I have something to do, so I might have to study for the entire night. Don’t come in and disturb me.”
Although Xiao Die was puzzled, she did not probe further. She nodded and obediently returned to her room.
Luo Qingzhou closed the door and windows.
Then, he sat on the bed and was about to meditate when a thought came to him. He suddenly took off his clothes and lay under the blanket. He closed his eyes.
Now that his soul was powerful and he had already advanced to the Day Travel stage, he should be able to attain Out of Body no matter what state he was in.
He calmed his mind and focused, trying to get into the Out of Body stage.
As expected, he could easily do it. A black shadow instantly leaped out from the top of his head and landed on the roof.
First, he had to destroy the souls and take a look at the scene of the murder.
Then, he would go to that soul senior.
If he served that senior well, the other party might give him even more cultivation techniques and secret manuals. At that time, the other party might relent and agree to take him in as a disciple.
At that point, he would say, “Master, please accept my bow.”
She would reply, “Good. Today, I’ll teach you my most powerful cultivation technique. ”
“Thank you, Master. I’m willing to lay down my life for you!”
“Very good. Since you’re so loyal, I’ll impart everything I’ve learned in my life to you…
Yes, what he imagined was great and all, but…
Luo Qingzhou fantasized as he floated toward the MO River at lightning speed.
Before he got close, he saw a blood-red light from afar. It dyed a section of the riverside red as if flames were burning.
It was a team of martial artists!
