Chapter 338: Profligate Son 10
Previously, his ambiguous and misleading words caused a misunderstanding among the Su Residence members, leading everyone to believe that His Highness Prince Jin had feelings for Su Qing, which then triggered a series of subsequent events. In the end, Su Qing, out of shame and anger, even challenged her to a life-and-death battle.
Su Luo smiled faintly, "She herself is narrow-minded; it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to take responsibility for it."
Bei Chenying secretly glanced at Nangong Liuyun, and seeing his stern face, he immediately flinched. He then dumped everything he had on him and gave it to Su Luo: "Oh, Sister-in-law, don't be shy! If you're too polite, someone might not be polite to me."
After forcing the items into Su Luo's hands, he turned and scurried away, running faster than a rabbit.
The Blue-Robed Brocade-Clad Youth looked at Su Luo with a hint of scrutiny, his eyes smiling. He said to Nangong Liuyun, "Last time, Bei Chen was dragged home by his father by the ear to do hard labor. Was that your doing?"
Nangong Liuyun gave him a cool glance, noncommittally, "He was too noisy."
The Brocade-Robed Youth was speechless and spread his hands.
This man was indeed extremely petty, never willing to suffer even the slightest loss. With that thought, the scrutinizing look in his eyes when he gazed at Su Luo lessened, replaced by a touch more friendliness.
As they spoke, the luxurious cruise ship left the coastline and headed towards the vast sea.
Nangong Liuyun and the blue-robed youth walked to the side, seemingly having something to discuss. Su Luo, being perceptive, walked to a row of seats not far away, picked an empty one, sat down, and gazed into the distance, admiring the scenery.
It was almost evening then, and the sea glow filled the sky, like a crimson brocade, as brilliant as fireworks.
As Su Luo sat, someone quickly took the opportunity to sit beside her. Su Luo turned to look, only to see that it was the familiar Bei Chenying.
Su Luo had an excellent impression of this lively and unrestrained Red-Robed Youth who supported her at crucial moments.
"Why aren't you going to play with everyone else?" The Mercenary Guild President, who usually instilled fear in everyone, now smiled, revealing two small canine teeth, looking like a sunny boy next door. Yet, Su Luo knew that when he was fierce, he was also decisive and ruthless.
Su Luo smiled faintly, "I'm not familiar with them, and I'm not used to it."
Bei Chenying watched Su Luo with his arms crossed. Hearing her words, he suddenly chuckled and leaned closer to her, "Sister-in-law doesn't need to get used to it; let them get used to you."
His words were full of confidence and conviction, clearly showing his respect for Nangong Liuyun, which made Su Luo a little curious. So she asked, "Those who can call Nangong brothers, they must not be simple people, right?"
"Eh? Nangong didn't mention it to you on the way here?" A hint of surprise flashed in Bei Chenying's eyes. In his opinion, since Nangong Liuyun cared so much about the Su Family's fourth daughter, they must have talked about everything, right?
Su Luo recalled how Nangong Liuyun had constantly teased and provoked her from behind on their way here. A blush flashed across her face, and she cleared her throat, saying seriously, "Perhaps he forgot? It's the same if you tell me."
Bei Chenying also felt it was necessary to give Su Luo a rundown.
"Sister-in-law, have you heard of One City, Two Halls, Three Palaces, Four Holy Lands?"
"One City, Two Halls, Three Palaces, Four Holy Lands?" Su Luo's eyes flickered, and she looked at Bei Chenying with some surprise, then a hint of understanding flashed in her beautiful eyes.
No wonder these youths could call Nangong brothers; it turned out they all came from extraordinary backgrounds.
One City, Two Halls, Three Palaces, Four Holy Lands represent the ten most powerful forces on the continent, with Purgatory City being the foremost power.
