Yang Ping’er was so angry that her chest hurt. She raised her hand to rub it but felt that it was inappropriate in front of Luo Qingzhou. She immediately put her hand down and asked, “Qingzhou, why did you come out alone?”

Luo Qingzhou said, “I was intending to go to the bookstore.”

Luo Xiaolou’s eyes lit up. She hurriedly hugged his arm and said, “Brother Qingzhou, can you bring me along? I want to go too.”

Luo Qingzhou frowned slightly.

Yang Ping’er hesitated for a moment. She glanced at her daughter and then said, “Qingzhou, why don’t you take Xiaolou with you? Take her to the Qin residence to play today. I’ll pick her up tonight.”

After a pause, a trace of bitterness appeared on her face. She said, “She’s just a child. It should be fine… This girl is also pitiful. She stays at home all day and no one plays with her. She keeps thinking of coming out to play with you.

Sigh…”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and met those big, moving eyes. His heart softened. Just as he was about to give in, he suddenly thought of his recent assassination attempt. He was silent for a moment before rejecting her. “Second Madam, I still have to study and can’t accompany her. You should bring her back.”

“Brother Qingzhou!”

Luo Xiaolou’s eyes turned red and she started crying pitifully.

Yang Ping’er sighed and did not say anything else. She took her daughter’s hand and said with a bitter smile, “Qingzhou, you’re probably afraid that the Qin residence will blame you, right? Indeed, they probably hate us to death. How can they welcome us? Are you… really doing well there?”

After saying that, she laughed self-deprecatingly and shook her head. “All right, I won’t ask anymore. I’m sure you don’t want to say anything too. As a matrilocal son-in-law, how good can your life be? All that matters is that you have food to eat and can survive.

“Xiaolou, let’s go. Mother will bring you to buy candy.”

Luo Xiaolou still held Luo Qingzhou’s arm tightly and refused to let go. She cried and said, “Brother Qingzhou, I won’t go to the Qin residence. That way, you won’t be implicated and won’t be punished because of me! I will just go shopping with you, okay?”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before he pushed her hand away. “Hurry up and go back. Study well at home. Don’t come out again. It’s dangerous outside, ” he remarked.

With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Luo Xiaolou stood on the spot and looked at him with tears in her eyes. She cried silently, but she did not make things difficult for Luo Qingzhou.

Yang Ping’er sighed again and hugged her tightly.

After taking a few steps, Luo Qingzhou suddenly turned around and looked at the mother and daughter. “It’s almost the new year. Wait for a while longer.”

After a pause, he added, “It won’t take long.”

After saying this, he quickly left.

Yang Ping’er was stunned. She looked at his back as he disappeared around the corner and asked in puzzlement, “What does he mean?”

Luo Xiaolou wiped her tears and said, “Mother, Brother Qingzhou said that it’s almost the new year. During the new year, he will bring his bride back to the Chengguo Residence. At that time, I can play with Brother Qingzhou and see his bride.”

Yang Ping’er stroked her head with a gentle gaze and muttered with a bitter smile, “I hope so.”

Luo Qingzhou walked on the street and looked back.

The streets were bustling with people. It was unknown if anyone had been sent by the Chengguo Residence.

Since First Madam wanted to kill him, she would get someone to tail him and wait for an opportunity to attack.

The other party was ruthless and would do anything.

If he showed Xiaolou concern, he was afraid that if the other party could not find a way to attack, he would find a way through Xiaolou. That would only harm that innocent and kind girl.

Therefore, he had to be ruthless.

“It’ll be the new year soon.”

There was still a month before the new year.

After the new year, time passed even faster.

The first floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion sold books. There were all kinds of books, and there were even some forbidden books.

The Great Yan Empire had a mandatory rule. As long as it was a shop selling martial arts supplies, there had to be scholarly books.

This was because martial artists also had to be literate and understand laws, etiquette, and morals. Only then would the phenomenon of martial artists breaking the laws and being uncouth lessen.

Therefore, becoming a qualified martial artist was even harder than becoming a scholar.

After Luo Qingzhou entered, he walked around the bookshelves on the first floor for a while. Seeing that there was no one at the door, he went upstairs and went straight to the counter that sold Flesh Refining Potions. He spent 600 gold coins to buy three bottles of potions.

The price of the potion had increased again.

The shop assistant explained helplessly that the price of materials had been rising recently, and so had the price set by the alchemists’. There was nothing he could do.

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything.

Although it was expensive and there were only three drops of potion in the bottle, the effect was obvious. It was worth it.

After he succeeded in refining his flesh, he could go out and hunt demon beasts to earn money. At the same time, he could train his combat techniques.

He believed that when the time came, his strength would increase even faster.

The Treasure Gathering Pavilion also provided a service. It could introduce rouge martial artists to join a certain team and they could leave the city to hunt demon beasts together.

Regardless of whether such a team left or entered the city, there was no need for any formalities or for them to go through any checks. No one would ask about them. In addition, the members inside might not know each other.

After Luo Qingzhou bought the potion and chatted with the shop assistant for a while, he went downstairs.

He did not immediately leave the store. Instead, he strolled around the first floor for a while and bought two books.

Just as he was about to leave, two girls suddenly walked in.

One of them was shorter and had a well-proportioned figure. She was wearing a long green dress that accentuated her curves and had dolled herself up with just a bit of carefully applied make-up. She was beautiful.

Luo Qingzhou had seen her before.

She was Song Zixi, the daughter of the Song family, one of the four major families in MO City.

When she was touring the lake and admiring the moon with Second Young

Miss Qin in Moonlight Rain Court previously, she had even tested Luo

Qingzhou on poetry..
