Gazing at the shining names on the leaderboard, Qin Luo was about to move, but suddenly stopped.
"Um, it seems I still don't know where Senior Sister Su lives."
Qin Luo scratched the back of his head, a hint of embarrassment creeping onto his face.
"But we could go and ask..."
After saying that, Qin Luo's figure sped away into the distance, and soon arrived at a quiet island residence.
In fact, he didn't need to travel to such a faraway place.
Simply stop any disciple of the Lingyuan Sect along the way and ask them for directions; you can easily find out where Senior Sister Su lives.
However, the thought of Huang Lu, whom he hadn't visited for months, filled Qin Luo with a pang of guilt. After all, they had been intimate, and he had left her standing there unattended; it was truly inappropriate.
Although Huang Lu had said before that she wouldn't mind, is there really a woman in the world who wouldn't mind?
Huang Lu may have chosen to be understanding because he is reasonable, but he cannot bring himself to pretend not to know with a clear conscience.
As soon as he landed on the island, he encountered a rugged-looking man, and upon seeing this, Qin Luo quickly stepped forward.
"Senior, please wait a moment. I'd like to ask if Senior Sister Huang Lu lives around here?"
Upon hearing this, the man's gaze slowly swept over Qin Luo, scrutinizing him carefully from head to toe. Then, with a hint of pity in his eyes, as if he too were a suitor, he pointed in a certain direction and earnestly advised:
"Judging from your appearance, this junior must be a freshman this year, right?"
"Junior brother, you may not know this, but although Senior Sister Huang Lu is usually gentle and kind, she actually has a lot of admirers following her. But it is a pity that all of these suitors come with high hopes and leave disappointed, and none of them have gotten what they wanted."
"Especially two months ago, after Senior Sister Huang Lu returned from that abyss, she stayed in her boudoir and never came out. Even if those suitors who used to pursue her tried their hardest, they could hardly get a glimpse of her."
"In my opinion, you should give up this idea as soon as possible to avoid being heartbroken in the end."
After the man finished speaking, he gently patted Qin Luo's shoulder, as if to comfort him and tell him not to be too persistent.
Qin Luo thanked the senior, and then, under the senior's persistent shaking of his head, arrived at the door he had pointed to.
"Sigh~ another idiot."
The man sighed softly, not in a hurry to leave, seemingly prepared to comfort Qin Luo again, after all, who hasn't been rejected like this over the years?
Knock knock knock
"Lu'er?"
Huang Lu's room is simply and plainly decorated, exuding an elegant charm.
On the bed, a charming figure sat cross-legged peacefully, her voluptuous body rising and falling gently with her soft breathing, as if she was trying to immerse herself completely in cultivation.
However, after only a short while of cultivation, Qin Luo's image uncontrollably appeared in her mind. This filled her heart with longing, so intense it was almost overwhelming.
"Since we parted, he has vanished as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving me here alone without even coming to visit me."
"Could it be that he has truly forgotten me completely? That's right, I am but a humble willow, how could I dare to hope to keep his heart for long? Perhaps to him, I am just a passerby he happened to meet on his long path of cultivation, and it is only natural that I would be forgotten once the novelty wears off."
Huang Lu looked slightly resentful as she muttered to herself, her pink lips slightly pouting, forming a distinct curve.
Just as she was feeling down and heartbroken, a clear knock came at the door.
In an instant, the affection that had been shimmering like spring water in her eyes vanished, replaced by a look of annoyance.
I planned to make up an excuse and quickly get rid of the uninvited guest outside the door.
Just then, a gentle "Lu'er" reached her ears, causing her voluptuous body to stiffen abruptly.
Then, as if waking from a dream, she hurriedly tidied her clothes and hair, and only after confirming that her appearance was in good condition did she rush forward and open the door.
The door opened, and before Qin Luo could react, he was jolted backward by the force of the impact, barely managing to regain his balance. Huang Lu had already thrown herself into his arms, causing him to instinctively reach out and embrace her.
"Luo Lang... how heartless he is."
"Lu'er knows that she is not worthy of your position and cannot keep you in her thoughts often, but Lu'er really... really hopes that you can come to see me from time to time, even if it is just a short stay and a few words, Lu'er will be satisfied."
After speaking, Huang Lu's body trembled slightly as she tried her best to suppress the grievances in her heart. Her hand, which was lightly resting on Qin Luo's chest, did not dare to overstep any boundaries and just leaned against him weakly.
Hearing these words of uncontrollable, passionate lament, Qin Luo felt a pang of guilt. He tightened his arms around Huang Lu, pulling her closer, and said softly:
"Lu'er, it was my oversight that caused you such injustice. It is truly my fault."
Unexpectedly, Huang Lu interrupted him directly, raised her head, and forced a smile:
"No, it's not your fault. I couldn't control myself and said these nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. I know you're busy with your cultivation and don't have much time for me. I shouldn't have been so willful. I just hope you won't get annoyed with me."
After saying that, she slowly lowered her head and buried her face in Qin Luo's arms, enjoying this hard-won tenderness.
At that moment, the man who had been pointing the way earlier saw this scene and his eyes widened instantly, as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.
He stared blankly as Qin Luo, supported affectionately by Huang Lu, slowly walked into her residence. He was struck dumb, unable to recover for a long time.
After a long while, he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his eyes, trying to confirm whether it was his hallucination or not, and kept repeating to himself that it was impossible.
But reality struck him like a resounding slap across the face, the gentle breeze carrying with it a sharp, clear sound of heartbreak...
Qin Luo stepped into the room, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings. Seeing the extremely simple decorations inside, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
It wasn't that he disliked her; rather, he clearly remembered that he had given Huang Lu two million spirit points when they parted. Logically speaking, with that amount of spirit points, she shouldn't need to live in this dwelling with the lowest concentration of spiritual energy.
Huang Lu, who was always attentive to Qin Luo's changing expressions, noticed the subtle twitch of his eyebrows. Her heart skipped a beat, and she regretted not having moved to a higher-class residence. A look of shame crossed her face, and she quickly said:
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Luo Lang. I'm used to being frugal. I thought that although this place is simple, it can still shelter me from the wind and rain and provide me with a place to live. Besides, the spiritual points that Luo Lang gave me were hard-earned, and every point should be used carefully. I dare not squander them because of my desire for enjoyment."
After speaking, Huang Lu lowered her head slightly, a hint of unease in her eyes, and unconsciously placed her hands behind her back.
