As they walked along the winding path, Su Yaoyue would occasionally turn her head to introduce the scenery and features along the way to Qin Luo.
As Qin Luo listened, he secretly considered potential territories for Dan Bingli and the others. Too close wouldn't do; excessive closeness would cause too much friction. Too far wouldn't be suitable either; it wouldn't be easy for them to accept...
He carefully considered the layout of the island in his mind, constantly planning and adjusting it, trying to find the most ideal allocation plan.
And so the two of them strolled around the island, each lost in their own thoughts.
As they walked, the two came to a very secluded place.
This place is extremely quiet, surrounded by lush vegetation, subtly exuding a sense of solitude and isolation from the world.
Su Yaoyue paused slightly, her beautiful eyes darting around, and she asked softly with a hint of probing:
"Qin Luo, shall I stay here then? That way, I shouldn't be bothering you, right?"
The word "Qin Luo" was uttered with exceptional gentleness, and the deliberately omitted "junior" added a subtle, almost imperceptible touch of intimacy to the words.
She looked up at the person beside her, and in the depths of her clear eyes, a few strands of different emotions seemed to flicker and sway.
Qin Luo was taken aback at first, then snapped out of his thoughts, looked at the place she had chosen, and pondered to himself:
"This place is indeed too remote, but it is still easy to be detected, so it is not very safe."
After a moment's thought, Qin Luo spoke gently and sincerely:
"Senior Su, this place is too remote. If we encounter an emergency, it might hinder our ability to help each other."
“I see a place over there, filled with spiritual energy and with a serene atmosphere. It’s just the right distance from the cultivation residence I’m looking for. It’s not too close and would deprive each other of our quiet space, but it can also be used when needed. In my opinion, Senior Sister, why don’t you settle there?”
After speaking, Qin Luo raised his arm and pointed to an area not far away that was shrouded in a light mist.
Su Yaoyue looked in the direction he pointed and saw that the area was shrouded in a hazy mist. Although it had a quiet and serene feel, it seemed to be more remote than the place she had chosen.
However, being able to get closer to him is still what I want.
"Since you've gone to so much trouble, junior, I'll do as you say."
Su Yaoyue smiled faintly and responded softly. Her smile was beautiful, bright and captivating.
Seeing that she agreed, Qin Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior, I'll go with you first so that we can deal with any adjustments that need to be made in time."
Qin Luo said politely, and then walked with Su Yaoyue toward the misty place.
Throughout the journey, Su Yaoyue was in an exceptionally pleasant mood, occasionally sharing with Qin Luo some interesting stories about her life on the island and her cultivation insights. Qin Luo listened attentively, responding occasionally, creating an unusually harmonious atmosphere.
Before long, they arrived at their destination.
Su Yaoyue looked around. Although there was a thin mist, many strange and spiritual herbs swayed gracefully in the mist, shimmering with a faint light, creating a serene and unique atmosphere.
Then, with a wave of her hand, a deep blue spiritual energy gracefully spread out, instantly leveling a large area of open space.
Then, with another flick of her wide sleeves, the exquisite residence slowly appeared on the open ground, like a magpie breaking through the clouds.
As a soft light flashed by, the dwelling settled steadily, gradually blending into the surrounding scenery, as if it had always grown here and was an indispensable part of this world.
After doing all this, Su Yaoyue looked at Qin Luo again and said:
"The matter of accommodation has been properly resolved, and the layout of the island has been explained in detail."
At this point, Su Yaoyue pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly:
"Qin Luo, now that you have successfully fulfilled your agreement with that Miss Dan, I wonder if you are still interested in the invitation I extended earlier?"
"The mission I'm considering involves many little-known secrets. Perhaps our collaboration this time could yield considerable gains. What do you think?"
Su Yaoyue's beautiful eyes held a hint of anticipation. It was a two-person mission she had carefully selected. Although it was fraught with danger, as long as Qin Luo was by her side, she would feel a surge of fearless courage.
Moreover, this was also a great opportunity for her to further develop her relationship with Qin Luo and get to know each other better, so she cherished it all the more.
Qin Luo truly hadn't expected Su Yaoyue to be so persistent in her pursuit of that mission. He couldn't help but wonder if she was so strapped for cash that she couldn't make ends meet. Thinking of this, Qin Luo slowly and apologetically said:
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Su. I do have a necessary trip to take place, and it may take quite a long time, so I'm afraid... However, if you still wish to go after I return safely, I, Qin Luo, will definitely accompany you without hesitation."
Qin Luo said sincerely that he really didn't have much time to randomly take on those tasks, and he also needed to deal with the matter of the remnant soul of his pride and set off immediately after resolving his relationship with Dan Bingli and the others. He didn't know how long this trip would take.
Hearing his words, the expectation in Su Yaoyue's eyes dimmed slightly, but she still forced a smile and said:
"I see. Since you have important matters to attend to, I will not insist. I only hope that your journey will be smooth and that you will return soon."
Although she was disappointed, she knew she couldn't force Qin Luo. However, this rare opportunity to get close to him had to be postponed again, which made her feel a little melancholy.
Then, Su Yaoyue chuckled softly at Qin Luo's hesitant expression and said:
"Qin Luo, you don't need to put yourself in such a difficult position. I'm not unreasonable either. It's just that the matter of the ruins is quite attractive to me, and I've been a bit too eager. You should focus on your affairs, and I'll wait for your return on this island. I'll also take this opportunity to cultivate properly and improve my strength."
At this point, Su Yaoyue seemed to have touched a hidden chord deep within her heart. She lowered her head slightly, a subtle blush appearing on her face, and murmured in a voice barely audible:
"Well... since we've been through thick and thin together and have forged a bond through these special business dealings, it seems a bit too distant and formal for you to always address me as 'senior sister.'"
As she spoke, she dared not meet Qin Luo's gaze openly, only stealing glances at him timidly from the corner of her eye.
Her slender fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, her uneasy appearance revealing the girl's girlish heart, tentatively probing her feelings with trepidation.
Qin Luo was taken aback; he hadn't expected Su Yaoyue to suddenly say something like that.
"Something's not right, nine out of ten things are wrong!"
Seeing Su Yaoyue's uneasy expression, he seemed to realize something, but even with nine-tenths certainty, Qin Luo didn't dare to make a decision.
He's not the kind of person who has an inflated sense of self-importance.
