259 Luo Qinghans Determination (2/2)
To him, these ladies had all been sent with ulterior motives in exchange for his support or favor.
This time, if Luo Qinghan had simply accepted his marriage request at the Luo family and tried to get closer to him because of his status and power, he would have looked down on her to some degree, thinking that Luo Qinghan had simply just been eyeing the benefits that he could offer her and the Luo family.
Now, it was clear that Luo Qinghan was not somebody who would betray herself for any benefits.
Meanwhile…
Luo Wuchen left Zhou Donghuang's house to meet Luo Qinghan. They then left the Lightning Sword Sect together and headed to the nearby galaxy teleporter to send them back to the Tianxuan planet of the Luohe galaxy.
On the way back to the Luo household, Luo Qinghan finally could not help herself from asking, ”Father, what did he tell you just now after I left?”
”Nothing much.”
Luo Wuchen sighed deeply and said, ”He told me not to feel apologetic for the dowry that I accepted... he is such a good man, even though you rejected him, he even wondered if I would feel sorry about what you did to him.
”Tell me... such a good son-in-law, once we miss this chance, how can you find someone else like him?”
As he spoke, Luo Wuchen's face was filled with disappointment.
Of course, he could not say the truth about what Zhou Donghuang had said to him or tell Luo Qinghan about the elixir.
If he did so, based on his daughter's personality, she would definitely not accept Zhou Donghuang's goodwill.
Luo Qinghan was silent for a moment, then said, ”Father, I know that you are feeling disappointed... once we get home, Granny will also be very disappointed when she finds out about this.
”But I have no other choice.”
”I know that he is very outstanding, and if I get closer to him, that will surely be good for my future... but, for me to get together with someone just because of that, I simply cannot do that.”
”I, Luo Qinghan, have my principles.
”Not just me, let's just say Mother... I heard from Granny that among the many young men who chased Mother last time, there were a few who had backgrounds and talents that far surpassed yours. But Mother did not marry the most talented or richest man and chose you in the end because she genuinely loved you.
”Of course, I don't have such good fortune like Mother... because, I will remember that even if I have no fate to be with Zhou Donghuang at the end of the day, because of the Deity-level technique that he gave to you and Granny, I will not do anything that makes him unhappy.”
Luo Qinghan had already decided not to get together with another man in this life.
As for Zhou Donghuang, she may not have anything to do with him at all in the future.
Actually, Luo Qinghan was certain that she had some feelings for Zhou Donghuang. After all, he was the first man that she had gotten linked with and was the only man so far who had treated her well... if Zhou Donghuang was just an ordinary man with no talent, if they had the fate to meet again, she would be willing to give him a chance to see if they were suited for each other.
However, Zhou Donghuang was not an ordinary man with no talent, but someone who appeared to have an alarming background.
He could easily produce a Deity-level technique as a dowry to give to her father.
He was just twenty-four years old, and already a mid Dharma adept whose ability was stronger than her father, Luo Wuchen, a late Dharma stage.
Her father had already converted to the Deity-level technique, so even though he had just reached the late Dharma stage, in the Tianxuan planet, or even the whole Luo He galaxy, there were few late Dharma adepts who were his match... but, he had been defeated by a mid Dharma adept, Zhou Donghuang.
What did this mean?
This meant that although Zhou Donghuang was just a mid Dharma adept, his ability was stronger than most other late Dharma adepts!
Such a presence was rare in not just the Luohe galaxy, but even in the Hengliu galaxy, or even in other broader galaxies.
Although she did not wish to admit it, she knew that she was inferior to him.
The more outstanding Zhou Donghuang was, the more distant he seemed from her, and in this situation, she became even more sensitive.
She had already decided to avoid Zhou Donghuang at all costs in the future, to let time fade all feelings. ”Based on his talent and background... he will definitely meet a better girl in the future, and by then, he will no longer think anything of me.
”Perhaps, I will just become a stray memory that appears in his mind once in a while when he is daydreaming.”
”This time, I will spend some time with Father and Granny, then return to the Jihan sect to train hard... I owe him too much, and all I can repay him with is my loyalty.”
...
Before Luo Qinghan returned to the Jihan sect, Luo Wuchen had not been able to think of any good ideas to trick her into taking the elixir that Zhou Donghuang had given her.
Finally, he ran out of ideas and mixed it within Luo Qinghan's food.
He had spent a lot of effort to mask the taste of the elixir so that Luo Qinghan would not notice it.
Just like that, Luo Qinghan left the Luo family, left the Tianxuan planet, left the Luohe galaxy, and returned to the Ziji Sect of the Ziji planet in the Hengliu galaxy, her body filled with the medicinal effect of the elixir from Zhou Donghuang.
