Chapter 1132: Accompany


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


Amongst all the young men in Ji Dynasty’s martial arts world, besides Chu Li and Fa Yuan, no one else could really get into Yurong’s eyes. It was extremely difficult to be a fitting match as her other half.


Initially, Lu Guangdi was thought to be pretty good. He did not have a complex background, his abilities were decent, and his looks were decent. Although Lu Guangdi barely made the cut, he could have still matched with Yurong. But now, it seems that he was still not the match.


“Aunt, tell uncle to forget about this!” Lu Yurong said.


Consort Jing sighed, “Your uncle only did this for your own good. After all, you are not a little girl anymore.”


“I don’t need him to be so anxious about it!” Lu Yurong scoffed, “I know what I’m doing!”


“Oh, my dear Yurong…” Consort Jing shook her head and said, “Please don’t say that. It will hurt your uncle’s feelings. He only treats you like a daughter because he doesn’t have one.”


Lu Yurong shook her head and said, “Tell me, why does uncle hold Lu Guangdi in such high regard? Is there something special about his family background?”


She knew that her uncle’s standards were as high as hers, and he wouldn’t take normal young men into consideration.


“This Lu Guangdi does have a special background.” Consort Jing knew that she could not hide it from Lu Yurong anymore, so she said frankly, “He is the illegitimate son of an elder in Green Deer Cliff, and he is this elder’s only son.”


“An elder of Green Deer Cliff?” Lu Yurong frowned. “To have such a young son, this elder must be quite a dirty old man!”


The youngest you could be, to achieve the elder status, was at least a hundred years old. Meanwhile, Lu Guangdi was only twenty years old.


“Men. Am I right?” Consort Jing laughed. “It seems that he was also an elder with great influence, with had thousands of connections within Tide-listening Pavilion and Green Deer Cliff. If we could somehow establish a connection with Tide-listening Pavilion, it will benefit us a lot.”


Lu Yurong furrowed her eyebrows and said, “What does uncle think I am! … I’m going to return to the Public House in two days.”


“Don’t make a fool of yourself!” Consort Jing quickly said, “Why return to the Public House at a time like this?”


Lu Yurong shook her head. “There’s no point to me being here now, so I should take the hint and leave this place, in case uncle is too embarrassed to ask me.”


“Yurong!” Consort Jing frowned. “What nonsense are you speaking.”


Lu Yurong said, “Dear aunt, you don’t have to say good things about me in front of uncle. Uncle is destined to be lonely, so I can’t afford to be his daughter. As long as there is peace within the Public House, I’m already satisfied.”


“Sigh, my dear Yurong …” Consort Jing looked at her helplessly, “If you are not satisfied with Lil Lu, your uncle will not force you.”


Lu Yurong shook her head.


Although she knew that there was malicious intent behind what Chu Li had said, when she thought of his words at this moment in time, it was not unreasonable after all.


Being too close to the Emperor is a dangerous thing. To be in the company of a powerful man is like being around a tiger. No matter how close her relations to her uncle were, he was, after all, the future Emperor, someone who had to be ruthless to rule effectively.


As they were talking, a beautiful girl came toward them gracefully, holding an invitation in her hands. She walked into the gazebo and said, “Consort, Miss, an invitation from Verdant Cloud Brothel.”


“Verdant Cloud Brothel?” Consort Jing frowned upon hearing that.


Lu Yurong reached out one hand and the beautiful girl presented the invitation to her.


Lu Yurong opened it and after a quick glance, she gave her a slight nod. “Alright, I got it.”


“Yurong, you know what kind of place Verdant Cloud Tower is.” Consort Jing’s expressions sank. Dissatisfied, she said, “How can a sweet girl like you step into a place like that?”


Verdant Cloud Brothel was the number one brothel in Fairy’s Capital. It had a great reputation, but it was a place for men to go to. If women were to go there, their reputation would be tarnished.


Lu Yurong said, “I asked Chu Li to invite King Ping over for help.”


Consort Jing was taken aback for a moment. “What are you seeing King Ping for?”


Lu Yurong said, “To tap into King Ping’s mind and see and see what he is thinking.”


Consort Jing looked relieved and sighed, “Silly girl, why burden yourself like this!”


“It was owing to His Royal Highness King Ping, that my uncle is now in line to become the crown prince.” Lu Yurong frowned as she said, “I always thought that His Royal Highness King Ping would not give up so easily. He must have some other plans.”


Consort Jing shook her head and said, “He’s given up all his military power. I think that he has no more interest in all this and no longer wants to take charge of politics. Speaking of which, life is really hard on King Ping. His consort was gone just like that, surely it must have hit him hard.”


“Two possibilities. He may have stopped caring because he suffered too much, or he may be more determined than ever now to take revenge! From my impression of him, I don’t think His Royal Highness King Ping is the type that would be beaten down just like that,” Lu Yurong said.


“…Alright then, it’s good that we have you go looking too. You have a better grasp of other people’s thoughts compared to your uncle. Only you can see through it all.” Consort Jing nodded gently.


She knew that Lu Yurong had the ability to see through people’s minds, so no matter how shrewd King Ping was, he could not hide anything from Lu Yurong. This was a blessing but a curse at the same time. Few would want others to see through their own minds.


“What I can do is merely a little trick, uncle’s skills are beyond me,” Lu Yurong said nonchalantly.


Consort Jing said, “I’ll pass your message about Lil Lu to your uncle, and I’m sure he won’t force you on the matter… Sigh, it’s his problem too, he tends to worry too much.”


“Thank you, aunt,” Lu Yurong said.


“Silly girl, why so courteous with your own aunt?” Consort Jing smiled as she shook her head.


Lu Yurong said, “Tell uncle to drop it, I will not marry anyone in the future!”


“Stop joking around, kiddo!” Consort Jing laughed. “How can a woman not marry!”


“It’s not that I can’t live without men,” Lu Yurong said nonchalantly. “I see men as annoying creatures, marrying one would bring nothing but suffering upon myself!”


“Well, in the future, you will meet your sweetheart, and when that day comes, you would want to get married to him right away.” Consort Jing no longer sounded forcing. She knew that a flame was burning deep inside Lu Yurong’s heart now.


At this moment, Lu Guangdi came into the scene with slow steps.


Lu Yurong frowned as she saw him.


Lu Guangdi was dressed in blue, and his appearance reeked of talent steadiness. He held a fist salute from afar and greeted them personably, “Consort. Miss Lu.”


Consort Jing laughed and said, “I heard that you lost to Head Chief Chu. But as people always say, one should never be conceited by victory, nor disheartened by defeat, and it’s good if you think that way. It doesn’t matter if you’ve lost, you can always take back the victory next time.”


“Yes,” Lu Guang smiled, “I can beat Chu Li in another month.”


“Oh-?” Consort Jing asked curiously. “In just a month?”


Lu Guangdi explained, “I’m currently cultivating a powerful technique. Once I am done, the power of my martial arts will be improved by several folds, and I will definitely beat Chu Li by that time!”


“That’s good,” Consort Jing laughed, “Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you can beat Chu Li or not. After all, he is the best top-notch youth martial arts master in the world, and it would be good enough to be able to tie with him!”


“I will defeat him!” Lu Guangchi said in a deep voice.


Consort Jing shook her head and smiled, glancing at Lu Yurong.


A sneer etched out at the corner of Lu Yurong’s mouth.


Lu Guangdi continued, “I heard that Miss Lu received an invitation from Verdant Cloud Brothel.”


Lu Yurong narrowed her eyes and glanced at him.


Lu Guangdi said, “Verdant Cloud Tower is not a place where women should go, I don’t know who is disrespectful enough to invite her there!”


“It’s none of your business!” Lu Yurong said coldly.


Consort Jing laughed and explained, “It was Head Chief Chu who invited Yurong over.”


“So, it was him!” Lu Guangdi sneered, “What a slick! I think he wants to ruin Miss Lu’s good reputation deliberately.”


Lu Yurong was too lazy to explain further.


His uncle had been too forgiving to this Lu Guangdi, so much so that he would want a mile if he was given an inch.


Although the guests and the guards of the Public House were allowed to enter the backyard for leisure, most of them would rather choose not to come over. After all, there were family members of the Public House here, so they ought to prevent any issues from arising.


Consort Jing said, “To be fair, I personally feel that Head Chief Chu had no such thoughts.”


Lu Guangdi shook his head and said, “Miss Lu, don’t tell me that you’ve agreed to go there?”



“Of course I want to go,” Lu Yurong replied coldly.


Lu Guangdi turned his head and said, “Consort, allow me to accompany Miss Lu. With me by her side, Miss Lu’s reputation will remain intact.”


“Oh, that’s actually quite a good idea.” Consort Jing smiled.
