Chapter 921 – Rain Will Fall Today, So It Is Forbidden to Be Married Off (2/2)

In this aspect, although Chen Changsheng could not be considered a particularly well-qualified teacher, he also could not be said to have put no thought into it.

As for why he had chosen the Mount Li Sword Style, it was because this was the sword style he knew best, and the manual for this sword style just so happened to be in Luoluo's hands.

Morning wind, speckled with drops of rain, fell on the window. Luoluo shifted her gaze from the sword manual to the window, into the rain-soaked distance.

In the last four years, she had studied very diligently, not letting a single second go to waste.

As long as she could master the Law Sword of the Mount Li Sword Sect, the homework Chen Changsheng had arranged for her would be finished.

She had finished the lesson plan in that letter an entire year in advance.

If I finish learning this, will Teacher come to see me? At the very least… he should write me another, arranging for me a new lesson plan.

Luoluo silently thought, then tidied her thoughts and continued to study the sword manual.

Guardian Li gave her an affectionate gaze, tinged with both pride and heartache.

The raindrops lightly beat against the window, and the sounds of kneeling and footsteps could be heard.

Luoluo froze for a second, glanced up, then let out a happy shout as she ran over.

She hugged Madam Mu's leg, lightly shaking her head and sweetly smiling. It appeared a little like she was whining, but her attitude was more one of yearning and intimacy.

Madam Mu faintly smiled as she caressed her daughter's face and asked if she was doing well.

After some idle chatter, Luoluo began to ask for assistance on a few questions concerning cultivation, which Madam Mu earnestly answered.

Time slowly passed.

Madam Mu left.

Luoluo gazed in the direction she had vanished, her smile slowly fading, supplanted by an inexplicable grief.

”It's truly been confirmed?”

”Yes, the news has already spread through the city… The source should be the Imperial Guard of the Abyssal Pearl Pavilion.”

Luoluo's grief originated from the fact that Madam Mu had said nothing of this.

She looked to Guardian Li and asked in slight anticipation, ”Is there any chance that Father will come out of his seclusion within half a year?”

Guardian Li whispered, ”Probably not.”

In the heaven-shaking battle between the White Emperor and the Demon Lord north of Mount Han, both sides had walked away critically wounded.

The Demon Lord had been forced off the throne by Black Robe and the Demon Commander, struck into the abyss. In the end, his own son killed him in the snowy mountains using the Astral Executioner.

The White Emperor had received similarly serious injuries, and he had also become enlightened by that battle. Upon returning to White Emperor City, he entered seclusion to cultivate, hoping to both heal his injuries and advance another step.

It had now been five years since this most exalted and tyrannical demi-human had appeared.

Luoluo gazed at the bold and forceful strokes of the sword manual in silence, then asked, ”What of Guardian Jin?”

”He's still being heavily guarded. It will be difficult to get in touch with him without being discovered.”

Guardian Li hesitated for a moment, then added, ”Even if we did communicate with Guardian Jin, he wouldn't be able to do anything.”

”Reasonable.”

Luoluo asked, ”Is Xuanyuan Po still in that small tavern?”

Upon hearing Xuanyuan Po's name, Guardian Li couldn't help but show a faint smile. ”And he still goes to the palace every day to look at the food list.”

Luoluo smiled and ordered, ”Send someone to keep an eye on him. If he plans to do anything, knock him out and send him back to the capital.”

Guardian Li assented but couldn't restrain a sigh.

Luoluo had a most revered status, but now, when her mother intended to control her, she could not find a single helper.

The only person that could help her was that bear youth, but she could not stand to see him die because of her.

”Does Madam know what I am most afraid of?” Luoluo said in a soft voice.

Guardian Li appeared slightly startled.

Luoluo fell quiet, then said, ”What I'm most afraid of is that Mother is seemingly not afraid that she will anger Father with her actions.”

This was a question that had also confused Guardian Li.

”If Mother is not worried, there are only two possibilities. One possibility is that their several centuries of love was faked and that Mother means to harm Father. The other, more terrifying, conjecture is that Father also knows of this matter.”

As she said this, Luoluo had a rather perplexed expression, appearing extremely small and helpless.

Guardian Li finally couldn't help but ask, ”Your Highness, why don't we send a letter to the humans?”
