Chapter 513 - 512: Luo Ying: I Dare Not, I Dare Not

Chapter 513: Chapter 512: Luo Ying: I Dare Not, I Dare Not

He wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t looked, but one glance nearly scared the piss out of him.

This was a perfect description of Luo Ying’s current state.

At first, he hadn’t really paid close attention to the two of them.

He had assumed they were just ordinary Holy Land Disciples who needed a bit of help.

He was already quite surprised that Jiu Xi had been able to see him.

But when he saw Jiu Xi’s Daoist partner, he realized her ability was nothing special by comparison.

Jiang Zuo never once looked at Luo Ying, but Luo Ying’s back was already drenched in sweat.

Staring at this person from such a close distance, he felt like he could barely breathe.

It was as if the man was an endless mountain pressing down on him.

Forcing him to bow his head in submission.

Only Luo Ying could feel it.

Seeing Luo Ying remain silent, Su Qi grew a little worried. She asked cautiously, "Senior?"

Luo Ying finally snapped out of it. Flustered, he immediately said, "No, no, you two Sen—you two Dao—you two young friends jest. It was I who disturbed you. I hope you won’t take offense.

I still have business in the Holy Land, so I won’t disturb you two any longer."

With that, Luo Ying tried to leave.

Just then, Su Qi said, "Why don’t I take Senior Luo Ying there? I know the way."

Luo Ying nearly stumbled. "No, it’s fine! I’ll be faster on my own," he said hastily.

Luo Ying then flew away quickly. He hadn’t gone far when he overheard Jiu Xi say to the person beside her, "Senior Luo Ying is surprisingly easy to talk to. Oh, right, he’s a grand senior from the Celestial Secret Lineage. Don’t make me remind you next time.

He’s not like my martial uncles; it’s not a good idea to offend people like him.

But we don’t come back often, so we probably won’t run into him much.

Just bear with it, okay?"

Su Qi was worried about putting too much pressure on Jiang Zuo.

But Jiang Zuo just said casually, "Got it."

Luo Ying sighed. ’Occasionally?’

’No, I don’t ever want to see him a second time.’

He finally understood, however, why everything had been pointing to the Holy Land.

’This man is actually the Holy Land’s son-in-law.’

’And this Jiu Xi is no ordinary person, either.’

Luo Ying didn’t know if meeting Jiang Zuo this time was a blessing or a curse.

Because as he was leaving, he thought he saw the man glance at him with a cryptic, half-smiling expression.

’I have absolutely no idea what he’s thinking, and I don’t dare try to divine it... Sigh.’

Jiang Zuo watched Luo Ying fly away but said nothing.

He was actually quite impressed with Luo Ying for being so terrified.

’Even though he saw with his own eyes that I’m only Tier Three, he could still faintly sense the danger I pose?’

’He really is something else.’

’It’s no wonder he became a guiding beacon in my past life. It was well-deserved.’

Then, Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi. How should he put it? He felt quite happy.

Having Su Qi by his side was countless times better than his previous life.

It would be even better if she could just treat him like a normal person day-to-day.

’I really do want to get Su Qi pregnant.’

’But it’ll be fine once this period is over.’

"Come on, I’m taking you for a bath. I guarantee it will leave your skin fair and beautiful. We’re going to the pool specially for the Candidacy Saintesses," Su Qi said with a smile, pulling Jiang Zuo along.

Jiang Zuo was dumbfounded. ’I can go too?’

’There are several Saintesses... That doesn’t seem right, does it?’

Su Qi suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Zuo. "Are you imagining something indecent?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head and said with a straight face, "I wasn’t thinking about anything but you. At most, I was imagining what you look like when you bathe. It must be a stunning sight."

Su Qi didn’t believe him for a second.

Still, she was delighted. She pulled Jiang Zuo up into the sky. "But don’t get any funny ideas. There’s no way anyone else would be there.

We’re not going to the real Saintess Pool, just an auxiliary one. There are private pools there that we can use.

My injuries will be fully healed by the time we get out."

Jiang Zuo nodded. "Mm."

Su Qi turned to look at him again. "A little disappointed?"

Jiang Zuo turned her head back forward. "Disappointed? That there won’t be anyone else there?"

Su Qi’s Flying Sword came to an abrupt halt. She gave Jiang Zuo’s waist a hard pinch before saying, "I meant, are you disappointed that your wife’s injuries will be gone? Will you lose interest once I’m not hurt anymore?"

Jiang Zuo said with a deadpan expression, "Do I look like a pervert to you?"

He rubbed his waist. It really hurt; Su Qi’s pinches were getting stronger.

’I was just asking. It’s not like I actually wanted that.’

’Even if Su Qi agreed, I wouldn’t.’

They were just Pink Skulls.

The person before him was his one true love; all others were nothing more than Pink Skulls.

Jiang Zuo subconsciously reached out and stroked Su Qi’s head. "You’re the only one I want to see."

"Pervert," Su Qi said.

Jiang Zuo: "???"

’How am I a pervert?’

---

Jian Shisan emerged from the Holy Land. He was there to meet Luo Ying.

He was, of course, familiar with Luo Ying’s name.

Luo Ying’s Cultivation wasn’t necessarily the strongest, but he was skilled in divination.

A reading from Luo Ying could very well help one avoid a fatal crisis or solve some intractable problem.

Swordsman Beitian was a prime example.

If Luo Ying hadn’t told him to raise the Sure-Hit Egg, how could he have ever learned the Northern Celestial Seven Swords?

So, while Luo Ying’s Cultivation might not match Jian Shisan’s, he was a man who deserved respect.

Jian Shisan had only been outside for a short while when he saw Luo Ying hurrying toward him in a panic.

’Given Luo Ying’s Cultivation, isn’t it a bit much for him to be panicking?’

In the next moment, Jian Shisan appeared before Luo Ying. Luo Ying was startled for a second, then instantly regained his composure.

"Fellow Daoist Jian, I have long heard of your great name," Luo Ying said cordially.

Jian Shisan studied Luo Ying, then asked, "Did you run into some trouble in the Holy Land, Fellow Daoist?"

Luo Ying shook his head. "It was just a personal matter, unrelated to the Holy Land."

Jian Shisan nodded. "If you need anything, Fellow Daoist, please say so. I can offer what little help I can."

Luo Ying simply thanked him. He most certainly did not need any help.

’That would be a death wish.’

However, Luo Ying had no intention of saying anything about Jiang Zuo.

’Interfering in that man’s life is something I absolutely cannot do.’

’The moment I do, death will come easily.’

This was the downside of knowing too much. Normally, he wouldn’t have to worry about such things.

The ignorant are fearless.

The more one knew, the more insignificant one felt.

Jian Shisan looked at Luo Ying and finally said, "Have you seen my Martial Niece Jiu Xi, Fellow Daoist?"

Luo Ying froze for a moment, then looked at Jian Shisan in surprise. He didn’t understand. ’How does Jian Shisan know?’

Jian Shisan didn’t explain, only saying, "You know a great deal, Fellow Daoist, and you are skilled in divination. I imagine you are aware of many things others are not.

I have faith in how you handle matters. However, as long as you don’t provoke certain people, there usually won’t be any trouble.

You need not be so concerned, Fellow Daoist.

The more you worry about certain things, the more obvious it becomes."

Luo Ying was surprised, even a little shocked.

But he quickly understood the underlying meaning.

Jian Shisan was reminding him. ’Yes, I’m being too concerned, and it’s causing me to lose my composure.’

’And I obviously can’t speak of this. If I act too abnormally, I’ll easily arouse suspicion.’

’If that ends up affecting *that person*, then I will have done a terrible thing.’

’That was a close call.’

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Jian. I am eternally grateful," Luo Ying said sincerely, cupping his fists.
