Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Return, The Hall Master Requests Your Presence

An Ran’s explanation had finally given Su Luo a general understanding of the realms of Martial Arts cultivation.

"So, all the powerhouses of the Heaven Ranking are the strongest existences in the Martial Arts of Earth?"

And Grandfather had told him to go to the Capital City only after he had made it onto the Heaven Ranking.

From this perspective, the day he would enter the Capital seems very far away.

"An Ran, is your uncle in the Capital?"

Afterward, Su Luo inquired.

"Yes, he is, but he’s in seclusion, and I haven’t seen him for a long time!" An Ran explained.

However, this answer only served to confuse Su Luo.

He had asked Aunt Shen to investigate Marquis Anyue’s whereabouts, and Aunt Shen ultimately told him that Marquis Anyue had not shown his face for many years, and it seemed that the An Family of the Capital was also looking for him.

But now, An Ran said that Marquis Anyue was indeed in the Capital, in seclusion.

So whose information was accurate?

"How long exactly has it been since you’ve seen your uncle?" Su Luo asked after musing for a moment.

"It seems to be over three years, the last time I saw him was on my sixteenth birthday, when he made an appearance. Since then, my uncle went back into seclusion. But he rarely shows his face, fully devoted to Martial Arts—it’s not strange." An Ran pondered for a bit before saying.

Who knew that Su Luo’s response would be somewhat off-topic, "So, you are over nineteen years old now?"

This was the first time he had accurately learned An Ran’s age. Before that, he had only guessed she was of age but not yet twenty.

Caught off guard by the sudden topic shift, An Ran laughed, "Yes, nineteen and a half."

However, An Ran’s smile grew increasingly bizarre as she spoke with a hint of a mysterious tone, "Don’t worry, I’m of age now, no crimes committed."

Su Luo: "..."

He shifted the topic back on track, "So, in fact, you haven’t seen Marquis Anyue for over three years!"

An Ran nodded and corrected him, "Brother Su Luo, I think you can call him ’uncle’ too. There’s no need to address him by his title."

Although Su Luo didn’t feel like he should call Marquis Anyue ’uncle’, he nodded anyway, considering he was An Ran’s uncle and he indeed could show some respect.

Just as Su Luo was about to further delve into getting information about Marquis Anyue, suddenly, a knock sounded at his room’s door again.

"Miss, Elder Yan is here."

The voice of Li Zong came from outside the door.

Elder Yan?

Both Su Luo and An Ran immediately realized who it must be—certainly Yan Wushuang, who had taken Lin Ruoxi away from Jiangbei!

Su Luo immediately went to open the door.

Li Zong and Zhou Ye stood outside.

At that moment, Li Zong’s gaze happened to catch An Ran putting on her shoes, which caused the corner of his eye to twitch slightly.

The miss had just taken off her shoes and was... What was she doing with Su Luo on the couch?

He felt that the relationship between the miss and Su Luo seemed to be developing in an uncontrollable direction. Shouldn’t he intervene?

While Li Zong internally debated, An Ran had already put on her shoes and arrived at the door, standing next to Su Luo, together they looked towards a middle-aged beautiful woman in the courtyard.

"Elder Yan."

Su Luo and An Ran walked to the forefront, greeting the middle-aged beautiful woman proactively.

Yan Wushuang looked over.

Her gaze instantly fixed on Su Luo, a flicker of surprise passing through her eyes. She had not expected that Su Luo was still alive.

But that flash of surprise was just that, a flash, and she hid it well.

"Are you here looking for Ruoxi?"

Yan Wushuang was the first to ask.

"Yes, we would like to see her," Su Luo immediately replied.

"You can join the Medicine God Temple. In the Temple, you’ll often see her," Yan Wushuang offered, extending an olive branch.

Su Luo was surprised. They hadn’t expected that Yan Wushuang was here for him, not An Ran.

And she had bluntly invited him to join the Medicine God Temple.

But Su Luo already knew that Wei Hongbo had told the Temple about his alchemy skills, so he wasn’t exactly surprised.

"I appreciate Elder Yan’s kindness, but I am already with the Jiangbei Martial Association. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for me to join another organization. I am very sorry."

Su Luo’s tone was quite sincere, but his respect for Yan Wushuang didn’t stem from her power or her position in the Temple, but because of Lin Ruoxi.

"Even if you were to go to the Martial Association Headquarters, it might not be as beneficial as being in the Medicine God Temple," Yan Wushuang said, her dissatisfaction barely concealed.

"One should repay kindness," Su Luo said, half-seriously, effectively declining her offer again.

He was a Cultivator, and naturally, he held many more secrets. Moreover, he had killed two people from the Medicine God Temple, so there was no way Su Luo would join them.

Besides, he didn’t need the Temple’s help with alchemy or medicine.

"Alright, then!" Yan Wushuang shook her head.

If it weren’t for Wei Hongbo’s extravagant praises of Su Luo, she would not have bothered to recruit him personally. She had thought about testing Su Luo if he had decided to join, to see if he truly had the skills; but now, it seemed unnecessary.

She also felt that if Su Luo didn’t join the Medicine God Temple, it would be his loss, not theirs.

Before leaving, Yan Wushuang did exchange a brief greeting with An Ran.

"Brother Su Luo, did you feel that Elder Yan was somewhat surprised and puzzled when she saw you?" After returning to their room, An Ran pondered for a moment before speaking to Su Luo.

Su Luo nodded: "She’s probably wondering why I am still alive."

"Are you saying she knows the elixir that the Medicine God Temple offered to save you wouldn’t have worked?" An Ran raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Exactly," Su Luo said heavily.

"So now that you are alive and well, could the Medicine God Temple deceive Lin Ruoxi by saying it was their elixir that saved you?" An Ran suddenly thought of a possibility. She was getting somewhat indignant, because in her view, it was her theft of the treasured Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng from her family that had saved Su Luo.

"I wouldn’t rule out that possibility."

Su Luo spoke gravely.

Afterward, they weren’t disturbed by anyone else. Chen Yuan did come over a few times, but it was just to courteously check on them, both out of worry that An Ran would cause trouble for him and to curry favor with Miss An of the An Family.

Clearly, Chen Yuan was just making a fool of himself.

Finally.

Noon the next day.

Chen Yuan came hurrying over again: "Miss An, Mr. Su, the Hall Master invites you!"

At his words, Su Luo’s mind stirred. The Hall Master’s invitation meant that Lin Ruoxi was back.

Without delay.

Su Luo, An Ran, Li Zong, and Zhou Ye set out, following Chen Yuan towards the main hall of the Medicine God Temple.

However, a shadow of unease loomed in Su Luo’s heart; he had a feeling that today’s meeting with Lin Ruoxi might not be as smooth as he hoped.
