After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 45 - People cant, or at least they should not

Chapter 45: People should not, at least they should not

The wind surged in the courtyard under the dim moon and sparse stars, and a faint fragrance wafted around Jiang Huai’s nose.

Luo Yueguan was ultimately too close, so close that Jiang Huai felt he could count each of her eyelashes. He subconsciously wanted to step back but then caught a glimpse of the amusement in Luo Yueguan’s eyes.

Luo Yueguan’s eyes always seemed enchanting and seductive, much like a vixen from the Western Region.

Jiang Huai stepped back slightly.

“Let Qingyu and the sect master of Luo learn to dance properly. That is my condition.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes, just that.”

Jiang Huai finally retreated to a safe distance, but Luo Yueguan moved closer again, so much so that her body seemed to rise a bit, and her hands pressed on the table.

Jiang Huai always felt that at this moment, she was like a hunter closing in, and he had become a panicked deer with nowhere to retreat.

Luo Yueguan caught the panic in Jiang Huai’s eyes, and a sudden inexplicable amusement arose in her heart. It was then she realized that even though Jiang Huai had appeared indifferent and calm in front of her before, he was ultimately still just a child.

“Do you even know what you’ve missed out on?”

Luo Yueguan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

“I don’t want to know.”Jiang Huai shook his head gently.

Luo Yueguan leaned forward slightly, her chest nearly unable to support the weight of her bosom, and her snow-white collarbone seemed to glisten with water droplets, dazzling the eyes.

“What are your plans for your cultivation in the future?”

Luo Yueguan’s eyes stared intently at Jiang Huai, waiting for his answer.

“Granny Jiuyou might be the best healer in the Eastern Region, but in the field of medicine and alchemy, I might not necessarily be inferior to her in the future. Maybe I’ll find a way to resume cultivation. Thank you, sect master Luo, for your concern.”

Jiang Huai’s tone was sincere, without any mockery.

He had no need to mock Luo Yueguan, and he was well aware of what any conditions she mentioned meant, but she was Luo Qingyu’s biological mother.

People can’t, or at least they should not

Luo Yueguan suddenly remembered what Chu Xianning had said to her before, and now she had to believe that Chu Xianning was right.

Perhaps the disciple she had taught was indeed an upright and noble gentleman.

“Qingyu can wait, I can wait, your master can wait, but the situation cannot. Five years, ten years, or twenty years, how long do you need to get back on the path of cultivation?”

This was Luo Yueguan’s concern.

“Give me two or three years. That should be about right.”

“Where does your confidence come from?”

“Time will give the answer.”

Jiang Huai picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip. He suddenly felt a chill, which came from Luo Yueguan, as her Ice Soul Profound Body was tormenting her body.

Her originally rosy lips were now slightly pale. Luo Yueguan finally sat back down, brought the teacup to her lips, and took a sip, looking at the cold tea with ice crystals in it, her eyes showing a sense of powerlessness.

“The Holy Son of the Haori Sect from the Rimian Continent is currently in Qingxuan Sect, and he has come to propose marriage to Qingyu,” Luo Yueguan suddenly said.

Jiang Huai didn’t speak but quietly watched her eyes, waiting for her to continue.

“There’s no need to look at me like that. I will reject him and send him back to where he came from,” Luo Yueguan said indifferently.

Jiang Huai nodded silently and then asked, “Where will I sleep tonight?”

“There are only my room and Qingyu’s in the courtyard. You can sleep with Qingyu.”

“That… wouldn’t be appropriate, would it?”

“Or do you want to sleep with me?”

Luo Yueguan glanced at Jiang Huai, her lips curling into a seductive smile, her toes tipped with the light of fireflies as if shining temptingly.

“How about letting Qingyu sleep with you tonight and free up her room for me?”

Luo Yueguan was taken aback, “Why are you unwilling to sleep with Qingyu?”

Jiang Huai scratched his head.

“… I’m afraid I might not be able to resist doing something to Qingyu.”

He was a bit embarrassed but answered with utmost honesty.

Luo Yueguan suddenly found it amusing.

“Qingyu is nineteen this year. Even if something happened, what of it?”

“The marriage has not yet been settled. It’s still not a good influence.”

“Do you not wish to marry Qingyu in the future?” Luo Yueguan’s eyes showed a hint of suspicion.

“No, it’s not that. It’s just that since we’re not yet married, sharing a bed would be somewhat improper,” Jiang Huai said, just as he was about to add something more, footsteps sounded from the courtyard.

Luo Qingyu, now dressed in a black bathrobe, emerged from the bathhouse.

Her hair was still slightly damp, and the loose bathrobe revealed a large expanse of her fair skin. Droplets of water slowly trickled down her soft chest as she held a towel in her hand, wiping her jet-black hair. Jiang Huai stood up and approached her, taking the towel from her hand and began to dry her hair for her.

“I’ll sleep in Qingyu’s room tonight, and you sleep well with your mother,” Jiang Huai gently told Luo Qingyu.

Just as Luo Qingyu was about to express her grievances, Jiang Huai gently pinched her earlobe. With just a pinch, Luo Qingyu’s body softened, and she could no longer utter any words of resistance.

After drying her hair, Luo Yueguan also stood up and gently took Luo Qingyu’s hand, pointing Jiang Huai in a direction.

“That’s my room. Go to my room. Qingyu’s room has a warming jade array that’s good for her health.”

So, Jiang Huai obediently agreed.

……

Jiang Huai gently pushed the door open.

Compared to the clean simplicity of Chu Xianning’s room, Luo Yueguan’s room was incredibly luxurious. The wardrobe, filled with many extravagant dresses, was excessive. Jiang Huai even saw Luo Yueguan’s intimate garments, all of which were light and soft styles, and he couldn’t help but imagine Luo Yueguan wearing these garments, which was absurd.

He lay down on Luo Yueguan’s bed and pulled the quilt over himself, and a faint fragrance wafted from the bedsheet, seemingly identical to Luo Yueguan’s scent.

The bed was soft, and the quilt was warm. Jiang Huai was about to enjoy a good sleep when he inadvertently noticed a small box by the bed.

Driven by curiosity, he opened the small box to find an oval spirit jade carved with patterns.

With just a slight infusion of spiritual energy, the spirit jade began to vibrate gently.

“…”

It took Jiang Huai three seconds to realize what this object was for. After examining it curiously for a while, he put it back and finally closed his eyes, holding the quilt and quickly falling into a deep sleep.

…….

In Luo Qingyu’s room.

At this moment, Luo Yueguan and Luo Qingyu lay side by side. Luo Qingyu, clutching the quilt, had not yet fallen asleep. Luo Yueguan seemed to want to say something but didn’t know where to start.

“Are you happy at Tianxuan Sect?”

After a long time, Luo Yueguan cautiously asked.

“Yes,” Luo Qingyu softly replied.

“Have you encountered any troubles?”

“A little bit.”

“Would you like to tell mother?”

Luo Yueguan turned to face Luo Qingyu, who hesitated for a moment before muttering softly.

“Brother Jiang Huai is also very nice to other Junior Sisters…”

“Oh? What’s that about?”

Once the conversation started, the mother and daughter began to talk intimately. After chatting for a long time, Luo Qingyu gradually became sleepy. Luo Yueguan carefully embraced her.

Luo Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then snuggled closer into Luo Yueguan’s embrace and closed her eyes, “I’m going to sleep, mother.”

“Yes, mother will hold you,” Luo Yueguan gently patted Luo Qingyu’s back, and her eyes reddened with a mix of emotions.

How long had it been since she had such a conversation with Luo Qingyu?

……

The next day, early morning.

Jiang Huai slept particularly well, perhaps because Luo Yueguan’s bed was too soft or the fragrance on the quilt was too pleasant. He turned over, wanting to sleep a little longer.

Until Luo Qingyu pushed open the door of his room, plopped onto the bed, and gently poked his face.

“It’s time to get up, Brother Jiang Huai.”

Jiang Huai looked at her full chest beneath her dress, sat up quickly, and ruffled Luo Qingyu’s hair, “Did you sleep well last night?”

“Yes, I talked with mother for a long time.”

“That’s good.”

“Am I very good?” Luo Qingyu looked at him with hopeful eyes.

Jiang Huai suddenly paused.

Looking at the expectation in Luo Qingyu’s eyes, he realized there was another meaning in her words.

Her question seemed to imply that being good in front of Luo Yueguan was like completing a task Jiang Huai had given her.

Jiang Huai’s eyes softened, and he gently caressed her cheek.

“Your mother is the person in this world who loves you the most. You don’t need to pretend to be obedient in front of her. Just be yourself.”

Luo Qingyu nodded, somewhat understanding, and then blinked at Jiang Huai.

“Shall we go catch butterflies together?”

“Sure, just let me get up first.”

“I’ll help Brother Jiang Huai get dressed.”

As Luo Qingyu spoke, she picked up Jiang Huai’s clothes from the side. Unable to resist her, he simply let her dress him. Luo Qingyu took the opportunity to touch his chest with her hands, and it took her a while to finish dressing him.

Jiang Huai had been to Qingxuan Sect a few times before, but he was not very good with directions. Luo Qingyu took his hand and, like a little butterfly, led him to the flower-filled mountains of Qingxuan Sect.

The hills were covered with blooming flowers, and countless butterflies danced among them. Jiang Huai spent a long time catching butterflies with Luo Qingyu and even picked many spiritual flowers to weave a flower crown for her.

……

Outside Luo Yueguan’s courtyard.

At this moment, Gu Zhou, the Holy Son of Haori Sect, stood under the locust tree in the courtyard, using spiritual energy to communicate.

“Since Sect Master Luo is in seclusion, I will wait here. I have come to propose marriage to Luo Qingyu, and the betrothal gifts are ready. I hope Sect Master Luo will grant my request.”
