Chapter 674: At the Moment of Parting 7

Next time? Su Luo glared at him, then pulled him up to sit properly. "I have something to ask you. Please stay serious immediately and swear to answer every question."

Nangong Liuyun rubbed his nose with a bitter smile. "Alright, what do you want to ask?"

Su Luo scanned him carefully, finally looking straight into his eyes with one palm pressed against his chest. Her face was more serious than ever. "Nangong Liuyun, tell the truth. Have you promoted too quickly this past half year, causing your Realm to be unstable?"

Before her voice had even faded, Su Luo could feel his heart suddenly skip a beat, yet his expression remained as usual.

Fortunately, she had placed her palm on his chest early on.

Nangong Liuyun licked his lower lip, wanting to say something, but Su Luo beat him to it. "If it's an excuse you've thought of, then there's no need to say it."

"You girl." Nangong held her hand that was on his chest and helplessly rubbed the top of her head with his other hand. "Who has been talking nonsense in front of you?"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know best in your heart." Su Luo's brows furrowed slightly as she glared at him seriously and earnestly.

Her aggressive attitude finally made Nangong Liuyun raise his hands in surrender.

Because he knew she was serious.

"That quack Leng Yan again!" Nangong Liuyun snorted inwardly, a flash of annoyance crossing his eyes. This annoyance was naturally directed at Pharmacist Leng.

Su Luo wasn't surprised that Nangong Liuyun could guess Pharmacist Leng immediately, because the person she had contacted most these past few days was Pharmacist Leng.

"Whether Pharmacist Leng said it isn't important. What's important is, Nangong Liuyun, you must enter secluded cultivation, and this matter is imminent!" Su Luo looked at him solemnly, allowing no room for argument.

"No rush." A wicked smile curled at the corner of Nangong Liuyun's lips.

"Truly, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are." Su Luo snorted twice. "Can you please care a bit more about your own body?"

Nangong Liuyun only smiled but did not agree to her.

Su Luo sighed helplessly. "I know you're worried about me. You're afraid that after you leave, no one will protect me and the Li Family will secretly try to kill me, right?"

Nangong Liuyun remained silent, his thick black sword-like brows slightly furrowed.

The high and mighty His Highness Prince Jin had surely never been in such a difficult position before?

Su Luo's fair and soft fingers stroked his forehead, smoothing out his slightly furrowed brows. She looked at him and said seriously, "Do you remember the time I bet on crystal stones with Li Aoqiong? He lost back then and promised me that the Li Family wouldn't hunt me down for a year."

"And Pharmacist Leng also promised me that he would introduce me to Great Master Rong Yun. Maybe by the time you return, I'll already be Great Master Rong Yun's last closed-door disciple."

"Pharmacist Leng said that Great Master Rong Yun has a cold and reclusive temperament, making him difficult for ordinary people to approach. Only by becoming his Disciple can one ask him to treat you." Su Luo had always been concerned about the leg ailment that inevitably visited Nangong every night of the full moon.

Nangong Liuyun said sternly, "No, this King's injury must be treated by you."

"How willful." Su Luo pinched his face irritably.

"I just want you to treat it." Nangong Liuyun insisted childishly.

Su Luo gave in. "Fine, I'll treat it then. But if that's the case, I really must become a Disciple under Great Master Rong Yun this time. Besides, once I become his Disciple, the Yaochi Li Family won't be able to threaten me anymore."

"Mm." Nangong Liuyun gave a faint hum. Just thinking that the person protecting her wouldn't be him made his chest feel stuffy, as if a great mountain were pressing down on it.
