"Senior sisters and junior brothers love to talk about clothing and jewelry, but senior brothers and junior brothers have never discussed weapons and famous knights?" Luo Jiujiang's expression was full of sighs, as expected, but he still said: "A Su, you are not deliberately favoring one over the other, favoring girls over boys, right?"
The question was asked lightly, but to You Su, who had always been taught to be a gentleman, it was no less than an accusation. His eyes suddenly widened, but he found that he had no evidence to refute it. After a few breaths, he said weakly, "...I never did."
Yet why was this discrepancy so obvious, when he hadn't noticed it before? You Su knelt in the boat, his mind a mess, unable to comprehend anything.
You Su was confused for a moment by Luo Jiujiang's two contrasting examples, but Luo Jiujiang's mind was becoming increasingly clear. He continued to question You Su, "Why do you deliberately memorize things that please girls?"
Yes, how could he only care about the girls' likes and not think that his fellow apprentices also need to avoid dull moments? You Su lowered his head, burying his face in his hands, which was almost completely inconsistent with his usual etiquette.
It seemed that no one taught him this as a course, but the maids around him had grown up with him, and whenever they changed into new clothes or rouge, they would insist on him seeing them and saying a few words. If he refused or said something wrong, they would be very upset. He then understood that he had to be extra gentle and patient when dealing with girls.
Seeing that he was always worried about these little things, the nanny would secretly explain them to him before the maids around him changed into new makeup. Later, seeing that You Su was not disgusted by this, she got a jade slip about these things from somewhere and asked You Su to read it whenever he had time.
Then, he didn't know when it started, but information about the most popular clothes and facial makeup among the girls in the academy would be placed on his desk regularly.
At first, he worried that being so attentive to girls might make them feel uneasy and think he had bad intentions. But for some reason, during that period, the maids around him would cry over such things. The nanny told him that girls were like this, and when they were at their most beautiful, they were the most vulnerable. If he could comfort them, they would stop crying.
The nanny not only took care of his daily life, but also served as his mentor in his cultivation. To him, the nanny was half teacher and half servant, and as a woman, she understood the maids better than he did, so her words were naturally trustworthy.
Seeing that he really did study the information and comforted the crying maids one by one, the nanny smiled happily: "Our young master will definitely be very popular with women in the future."
"It's not because they like me, I just don't want them to be sad."
"It's all the same, all the same." The nanny smiled kindly, "The young master loves the girls, and the girls also like him. This is even better. The young master can marry as many girls as he likes in the future, take good care of them, say what they like, and stop them from crying. Then they can give him many lovely children..."
You Su was entangled in old memories, but Luo Jiujiang had not finished asking questions.
"Your building is called Juxian, so how come almost all the people you recruited are fellow practitioners?"
"I don't know who nicknamed the painting soul I wanted 'Beauty Picture', which made my fellow apprentices shy away from it."
"Well, it's another false rumor. 'Young Master Hong' was also a false rumor, and so was 'Beauty Picture'. Regardless of how the rumor was created and how it spread, it ultimately gathered a group of devoted fans around you."
"...Brother Luo." You Su was awakened by Luo Jiujiang's suppressed angry tone and came back to his senses from his trance, "I seem to have done something wrong, but I don't quite understand..."
"Of course you don't understand. Even I only just understood." Luo Jiujiang smiled coldly, but there was no smile in his eyes. The corners of his lips were as cold as a knife. "You are just fourteen years old, and your primordial energy has not yet been released. Of course, you are not allowed to understand. When you have cultivated enough and are at the age to understand the world, and the daughters who adore you all throw themselves into your arms, are crazy about you, and would rather form a golden elixir than kill the red dragon, just to bear children for you, then maybe you still don't need to understand."
Young Master You even had personal protection when he went to the academy. Now that he'd been dragged to the middle of this secluded lake, the protection would have to be even stricter. If Luo Jiujiang were truly intelligent, he should have feigned ignorance from the beginning, simply making fun of You Su's knowledge of fabric materials. But who made him the biggest fool in the world?
When he was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, he could turn against Luo Cang, the most prestigious guest official in the clan, for Han Qianling. Now, he is not afraid to challenge the You family, which is rich in half of the cultivation world, just for You Su to point out this mess.
Knowing full well that there must be spies of the You family around, and seeing the uncertainty in You Su's eyes, he was just one step away from figuring it out. Luo Jiujiang laughed, splashing the water and saying, "What a famous and wealthy place! What a precious single-line inheritance for thirty-two generations!"
Even though he was wrapped in layers of embroidered brocade with hidden formations that automatically adjusted the temperature to the most suitable level, You Su still shuddered suddenly!
"...but my family really loves me." You Su said in a trembling voice: "They are not..."
"Yes, they love you, that's true." Luo Jiujiang nodded.
The You family really loved You Su and did not just see him as a tool to carry on the family line.
If they only wanted the 33rd generation of the You family, then as long as they could ensure You Su's personal safety, why would they care about his appearance? Although You Su's current "gentleman" appearance couldn't be said to be particularly good, spirit stones were the least valuable thing in the You family. Wouldn't it be much easier to raise him into a playboy who spent money on others and was greedy and lustful?
