Upon seeing their savior arrive, Qin Luo naturally understood the importance of timing. Before anyone could ask, he quickly said to Su Yaoyue:
"Senior Su, are you here to discuss matters concerning the island? Please wait a moment, I..."
As Qin Luo spoke, he kept giving Su Yaoyue meaningful glances, his eyes filled with urgency and pleading.
Su Yaoyue was incredibly intelligent and saw through Qin Luo's intentions at a glance. Although she was somewhat displeased, she couldn't bear to look at his eyes and ultimately said:
"Junior Brother Qin Luo, this matter is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed. I hope you can resolve it as soon as possible."
After saying that, Su Yaoyue gave Qin Luo a meaningful look before leaving the pavilion.
"Phew! Luckily, I managed to take advantage of Senior Su's move without making a mistake. It seems that the Origin Spirit Liquid I gave away earlier wasn't a waste."
Qin Luo felt secretly relieved, but also a little guilty. He quickly composed himself and looked at the three women with an undisguised sense of apology.
After briefly describing the transfer of Su Yaoyue's island, a light suddenly appeared in his hand, and three door tokens emitting a faint glow slowly emerged in front of Murong Liyue and the others.
"This is the accommodation I carefully arranged for you on the island. It's late now, and the wind and dew are heavy here. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold. Besides, Senior Su must have come so late to discuss some urgent matters concerning the island. I'm afraid she won't be back for a while. There are many complicated matters, so let's discuss them in detail tomorrow."
Before the three women could respond, he suspended the three gate tokens in the air, then flashed away hastily, his retreating figure suggesting a hasty escape. The three women remained in place, some frowning, some lost in thought, and some gazing sadly in the direction he had gone.
Qin Luo finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he arrived at a quiet valley not far away.
Looking at Su Yaoyue with gratitude:
"Senior Su, I really owe you a lot today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to deal with that situation."
Su Yaoyue crossed her arms in front of her chest, further highlighting her alluring curves. She raised her chin and said with a hint of jealousy:
"Senior?"
Qin Luo was taken aback, looking at Su Yaoyue's elegant face, where there was a faint, almost imperceptible, dissatisfaction.
This made him realize what was happening immediately, and with a hint of embarrassment, he quickly tried to salvage the situation:
"Um... Senior Su has helped me so much today. If you don't mind, how about I call you Yaoyue from now on?"
Su Yaoyue tilted her head slightly, as if deep in thought. After a moment, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Hmph, that's more like it. But you do surprise me. I never expected that you, who usually seem so well-behaved, would have so many romantic entanglements."
Qin Luo could only give a helpless wry smile and didn't offer any further explanation.
Then he asked:
"Yaoyue, what brings you here so late? It can't really be about the island, can it?"
Hearing this, Su Yaoyue rolled her eyes at him, handed the twenty drops of primordial spirit liquid to Qin Luo, and said somewhat awkwardly:
"I, I'm not that bored. I've thought about this Origin Elixir for a long time, and finally decided to return it to you. I have done nothing wrong, and I really don't deserve such a generous reward."
“When you asked me to handle the island's affairs before, I accepted that portion of the primordial spirit liquid, and I already felt quite guilty, as I took a huge advantage of you. If I were to accept these extra spirit liquids, it would truly be overstepping my bounds, and it would be unreasonable and unacceptable.”
Qin Luo did not accept the Origin Spirit Liquid. Instead, he looked at the somewhat uneasy Su Yaoyue and hesitated for a moment before making his decision.
Previously, he had avoided expressing his suppressed feelings for Su Yaoyue in order to prevent the situation from becoming more chaotic. However, the situation has now become clear. Moreover, after today, even if he tries his best to explain, in the minds of Murong Liyue and others, it will be difficult to clear his mind of the ambiguous relationship between him and Su Yaoyue.
Since we've already taken the blame anyway, wouldn't it be incredibly foolish and a waste of the situation that's already been created if we didn't accept the "gains" that come with it?
Then, Qin Luo's lips curled into a smile of interest as he gazed at Su Yaoyue, and said teasingly:
"I suspect Yaoyue's visit wasn't simply to return the spiritual liquid. Who would believe that she would come all this way so late at night just to return something?"
Caught off guard by her bluntness, Su Yaoyue's cheeks flushed instantly, and her eyes flickered uncertainly, as if she were both shy and trying to hide something. She hurriedly explained:
"Don't make wild guesses. I really just feel that this spiritual liquid is too precious to me, and I feel unworthy to accept it, so I have come to return it to you."
Seeing this, Qin Luo's smile deepened, and he took a step forward, instantly closing the distance between them.
He leaned slightly forward, his gaze fixed on Su Yaoyue, and said softly with a half-smile:
"Oh? Is it really that simple? But why do I see you so uneasy and apprehensive? Are you worried that I will refuse your kindness? There is no need to worry. You can accept this spiritual liquid without hesitation. When I gave it to you, I was sincere and without any pretense."
Seeing Qin Luo suddenly approach, Su Yaoyue instinctively wanted to back away.
However, the chaotic scene in the courtyard flashed through his mind, and a thought suddenly occurred to him:
"He's already entangled in so many emotional problems, is he really that bad? Inferior to them?"
Thinking this, Su Yaoyue abruptly stopped her retreating steps. Not only that, she raised her chin, straightening her already proud figure even more, making her magnificent chest less than an inch away from Qin Luo.
