Chapter 573 - 572: Who Said You Could Reason With Me?

Chapter 573: Chapter 572: Who Said You Could Reason With Me?

Jiang Zuo sighed internally. ’Isn’t Su Qi supposed to be busy?’

’How does she have time to call?’

The moment the call connected, Jiang Zuo heard Su Qi’s cloyingly sweet laugh.

Well, it was a laugh tinged with a slight coquettishness, the kind others could only dream of hearing.

"I’m calling you in secret again. But I have to keep my voice down, or it’ll be bad if I get caught."

Hearing Su Qi say this, Jiang Zuo grew curious. "Aren’t you busy?"

Su Qi said, displeased, "You don’t sound very happy that I called you."

Jiang Zuo wiped away a cold sweat and quickly asked, "Is this another one-minute call?"

Su Qi whispered, "No. It depends on when my senior sisters wake up, and when my master comes in."

Jiang Zuo was confused. ’What does she mean, wake up?’

Then, Su Qi began to explain. "Something unexpected just happened. We all fell into an epiphany. Do you know what an epiphany is? It’s like everything suddenly makes sense.

"I woke up early, so I was able to call. Your wife is amazing, right?"

Amazing. She was indeed amazing.

Jiang Zuo’s thoughts quickly turned to the Refining Heart Road.

He hadn’t gained anything from entering that subtle emotional state, but others might have received a chance for an epiphany because of him.

He didn’t understand how it led directly to an epiphany, but it was definitely related to the video he had just shared.

’So, they probably don’t know about the Celestial Favor, do they?’

’On second thought, it’s better that Su Qi doesn’t know.’

Because even without him as a point of comparison, they would eventually connect Su Qi with the possibility of being a bearer of Celestial Favor.

After all, her talent for cultivation was monstrous.

She could level up just by getting married and lying around, while Sister Jingyue, who cultivated with great difficulty, could never pull ahead of a Su Qi who didn’t cultivate at all.

If that wasn’t Celestial Favor, what was?

But for now, they didn’t have the concept of Celestial Favor, so they were simply unaware.

"Amazing. If you cultivate properly, you might even surpass Sister Jingyue," Jiang Zuo affirmed.

"But I don’t want to cultivate! I just want to be with you. I haven’t been home for days," Su Qi said, a hint of resentment in her voice.

Jiang Zuo asked curiously, "You were never like this before when you were away on business trips."

Su Qi said, "It’s different. Before, you didn’t know, but now that you do, I can be clingy with you.

"Back then, we were always fighting. I wanted you to call, but I was also afraid you’d call just to argue with me.

"It was awful."

Jiang Zuo fell silent. Finally, he said, "I didn’t know enough back then."

"And now that you know more, you don’t even call. If I don’t call you, would you just forget you have a wife?" Su Qi said, dissatisfied.

Jiang Zuo was taken aback. "Why do you sound like a bitter, nagging wife?"

Well, the moment the words left his mouth, Jiang Zuo regretted them.

The other end of the line went silent for a long time.

’Should I say something?’ Jiang Zuo wondered.

Then, a soft chuckle came from the other end. "Mr. Jiang Zuo, I’ll be back in a little while. You’d better remember to take a few extra days off.

"I haven’t slept in so long here. I’m quite tired."

Jiang Zuo was speechless. "..."

He felt that Su Qi was threatening him.

’She’s really getting more and more outrageous.’

She arranged his schedule, dictated his movements, and now she was even threatening his life.

Finally, Jiang Zuo spoke up. "Can I take that back?"

Su Qi snorted coldly. "So you know you were wrong?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "I don’t think I was wrong. Logically speaking, I just said something you didn’t like."

Su Qi said, "Who asked you to be logical with me? We’re in a relationship, why are you trying to reason with me?"

Jiang Zuo was dumbfounded. "..."

In the end, Jiang Zuo stopped talking. As expected, when she was being unreasonable, it was best not to engage.

’If I just keep quiet, this will all blow over peacefully.’

’Just shut up.’

"Say you miss me." As expected, Su Qi didn’t press the issue further.

After all, she wasn’t at home, and she hadn’t called to pick a fight. If she was going to cause a scene, she’d do it when she got home.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo felt particularly pleased with himself and subconsciously replied, "So I don’t have to say I love you?"

Su Qi was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Jiang Zuo, I think you’re being particularly argumentative today. Just wait until I get back..."

This time, before Su Qi could finish, Jiang Zuo suddenly whispered, his voice laced with a thread of longing, "I’ve been waiting for you to come back."

Hearing this, Su Qi was stunned for a second, then said aggrievedly, "Ah, you made me unhappy. I miss you."

Well, regardless of anything else, Jiang Zuo truly did want Su Qi to come back soon.

He did miss her. It was fine when he didn’t say it, but now that Su Qi had brought it up, he felt a sudden, strong urge to go see her.

’Alright, it’s decided. As soon as this business at the Celestial Book Tomb is over, I’ll go straight to the Holy Land and wait for Su Qi to come out.’

After that, Jiang Zuo and Su Qi talked for a long time, and this time, he didn’t argue.

’Not going along with Su Qi would make her genuinely angry.’

But as time passed, more and more people began to appear by the lake.

All of them were at the Tier Three Cultivation level.

The phone call had lasted for a full hour.

The call was only forced to end when Sister Jingyue’s voice came from Su Qi’s side.

Phew~

Jiang Zuo let out a breath. It was finally over.

Jiang Zuo quickly stopped absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Qi. If he kept absorbing it, it would be bad if Su Qi got out early.

He wanted to go wait for Su Qi to come out, but Su Qi would definitely want to wait for him to get off work.

If Su Qi were the one left waiting, it would be a disaster.

No one had noticed Jiang Zuo’s presence. When he sensed people approaching, he had added a Concealing Array.

But before stepping out of the array, Jiang Zuo asked Duan Qiao, "How do you feel?"

Duan Qiao looked at Jiang Zuo and said, "It’s gone."

"..."

Well, Jiang Zuo discovered that forget video calls, even a phone call could completely dissipate its imposing aura.

’I just wonder how long that’ll last.’

But it wasn’t a big deal. It didn’t matter whether he had it here or not anyway.

Many people here were meditating, including Witch Dan Xue and Blade Master Hai Bian.

After all, they had just come out of the Refining Heart experience, so it was always good to absorb what they had learned.

Others, however, were planning to head upward.

Everyone could see the path, but no one had tried it yet.

"I heard there’s an Exotic Beast in the lake. Its attack methods are extremely bizarre and unpredictable. The slightest mistake could mean death," a Demon Cultivator said.

Jiang Zuo didn’t know if the man’s intentions were good, but he was definitely trying to start a discussion.

In reality, the Exotic Beast in the lake wasn’t that powerful.

Most people could get past it as long as they were cautious.

As for those talented prodigies, as long as they didn’t court death, it shouldn’t be much of a problem.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo walked out.

Seeing someone suddenly appear, many people subconsciously looked over.

Because this person had appeared from a place that wasn’t the entrance.

The moment Blade Master Hai Bian saw Jiang Zuo, he froze.

He never would have thought that Po Xiao was still here.

’By all rights, he should be who knows how far ahead by now.’

Jiang Zuo paid no attention to anyone. He wasn’t about to waste time here with these people.

Then he walked straight to the edge of the lake and, once again, strode forward.

Jiang Zuo made no defensive preparations, simply walking step by step across the surface of the water.

With his abilities, walking on water after reaching Tier Three was not difficult.

Naturally, the others all watched Jiang Zuo. They were more than happy to let someone else be the guinea pig.

Offering a word of warning was out of the question.
