Chapter 57 Guilt
"What do you mean by 'everything that should have been done has been done'? What do you mean by 'everything except the last layer has been given'?"
Upon seeing this, Luo Le'er felt a chill run down her spine and was completely stunned.
Am I really that bad?
Oh my god.
She couldn't believe it; if it really came to that, it would be worse than death.
impossible.
How could I possibly do such a thing?
Luo Le'er gritted her teeth and thought carefully. It seemed that her hidden illness would flare up in the next few days.
She has suffered from a cold-related illness since childhood. Whenever it flares up, her whole body feels incredibly cold, as if she has fallen into an ice cellar.
It occurs once every six months.
Each time it gets worse than the last.
For so many years, I have sought out renowned doctors all over the world, but none have been able to cure me.
She had never told anyone about this except Luo Zhantian, and she never expected that Zhou Xianzong would find out.
Damn it.
Just how many of my secrets does this guy know?
For a moment, Luo Le'er felt burning hot all over. She felt that she had nowhere to hide in front of Zhou Xianzong, as if he had seen through her.
“How could I possibly encounter bandits while I’m within the sect? If my hidden ailment flares up, I’ll immediately seek my father’s help. That should prevent Xiao Potian from succeeding.”
Luo Le'er thought to herself.
"I'll be in seclusion for the next couple of days, so you don't need to come."
Luo Le'er said calmly.
As Luo Zhantian's only beloved daughter, she receives many new clothes from him every month.
There are also quite a few cosmetics and face powders.
So she basically wears them once and then throws them away, unless she really likes them and will keep them.
"Oh, yes, miss."
Xiaolian nodded, and after taking the clothes and cosmetics, she couldn't bear to throw them away.
Instead, he secretly put it back in his own place.
After all, she wasn't some rich young lady or a chosen one.
Her meager income was barely enough for her spiritual practice.
Clothes made from the finest fabrics or rare and precious materials are simply unaffordable.
Of course, Luo Le'er would also give her some things from time to time, which she would then keep.
"Since Miss is in seclusion these two days, I'd like to try on this gauze skirt and this rouge. It's said to be made from the honey of Jade Sunflower and the King Bee, which not only beautifies the skin but also helps one's cultivation improve faster."
Xiaolian happily dressed herself up.
There isn't a single girl in the world who doesn't like beauty.
"Luo Le'er, Luo Le'er, if we're talking about being secretly passionate, you're the one."
Xingyueyue looked at the diary and smiled broadly.
She even wanted to see it for herself.
Unfortunately, she didn't know where Luo Le'er was.
All I know is that the diary says Luo Le'er disappeared after the engagement party.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully writing a diary and obtaining the Fire Control Technique."
"Fire control technique? What is that?"
Zhou Xianzong quickly put on his gear.
Suddenly, all the records about fire control techniques entered his mind.
It turns out that this so-called fire control technique is simply the ability to conjure flames out of thin air.
To be honest, it's pretty useless.
Anyway, it was of no use to Zhou Xianzong.
He now possesses an invulnerable body, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the ability to shrink the distance between people, and the skill to strike an ox across a mountain.
Their strength is already very high.
There is no shortage of these cultivation techniques and secret manuals.
It would be better to give more RMB.
After all, he can go back after he finishes the story.
How wonderful it would be to be a leisurely rich person then.
"Sigh, let's wait and see how Luo Le'er's show begins."
Zhou Xianzong sighed.
Little did he know that Luo Le'er, who knew the plot in advance, was not running away from home and traveling as written in the plot.
Instead, he remained within the Qingyang Sect.
"If we're talking about playing fancy games, the main character has to be the one. He just finished being all lovey-dovey with Xing Yueyue, and now he's about to be all lovey-dovey with Luo Le'er, and both of them are top-notch beauties."
Zhou Xianzong lay on the armchair, eating the fruit that Yingxi had prepared for him.
I don't know where Qingfa has gone.
I haven't seen him for several days.
That woman was pretty, and she knew how to have fun.
Zhou Xianzong thought about it and decided to go and take a look.
After all, relationships need to be maintained through frequent contact.
He dressed casually and then prepared to leave under the cover of night.
But before he could even leave, the gate of the elegant garden was knocked on.
Oh shit.
People are still coming so late at night.
Could it be Qingfa, or Feifei?
I guess she misses me.
Zhou Xianzong was overjoyed and quickly ran over to open the door.
"Qingfa, you've finally..."
Zhou Xianzong opened the door while speaking.
Before he could finish speaking, the woman who appeared before him made him tremble uncontrollably.
The smile that had been on his face vanished completely.
"You, you, you, you..."
Zhou Xianzong looked at her, his words becoming somewhat incoherent.
Why are you here?
The person who came was none other than Luo Le'er.
"What, can't I even come to see you?"
Luo Le'er raised her eyebrows slightly and glared at Zhou Xianzong.
Regardless of whether he agreed or not, she strode inside with her slender legs.
"Of course I can come, Le'er. You have no idea how heartbroken I was after you rejected me last time. I longed for you so much. Are you coming this time to say yes?"
Zhou Xianzong instantly transformed into a sycophant, displaying a deeply affectionate demeanor.
But inside, he was screaming wildly.
Oh shit.
Are you sick?
Didn't you run away from home?
Why are you back so soon?
Also, why did you come back? How are the bandits going to rob and rape you if you act like this?
How should Xiao Potian make his entrance?
That's not the point.
The problem is that you came here late at night wearing a skirt, what the hell are you doing?
"Really? When you opened the door just now, you called out another woman's name."
Luo Le'er listened to Zhou Xianzong's ramblings, but she was too lazy to expose him.
Anyway, this guy is just putting on an act.
"Le'er, you must have misheard. You're the only one in my heart. How could I possibly mention other women?"
Zhou Xianzong said somewhat awkwardly.
His eyes darted around, and he was thinking about how to get Luo Le'er away.
"I've thought about it carefully and I feel quite guilty towards you last time, so I've come here today specifically to apologize to you."
Luo Le'er said softly.
Apologizing was one thing, but another was to avoid Xiao Potian.
She was genuinely afraid that something unexpected might happen tonight.
If the bandits really did come to Qingyang Sect, she would happen to run into them again, and in the end, she would be saved by Xiao Potian.
That would be a situation where even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear my name.
So Luo Le'er decided to go all the way and came directly to Zhou Xianzong.
This time, we shouldn't run into each other, right?
"Feeling guilty?"
This was the first time Zhou Xianzong had heard this word from Luo Le'er.
He was not moved at all; on the contrary, he was somewhat embarrassed and angry.
What are you feeling guilty about?
Do I fucking expect you to feel guilty?
ah?
Do I need it?
I want you to look down on me and think I'm a despicable person.
If you feel guilty, go and feel guilty towards Xiao Potian.
Are you out of your mind?
I'm a perfectly innocent villain, and you're telling me you feel guilty?
Are you going to let me act or not?
This isn't an apology, it's practically an attempt to kill me.
