Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 449: Can’t it be during the day?

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Can’t it be during the day?

Seeing that Lu Xiao didn’t speak, Luo Hanyi stopped in her tracks as well.

"We have to check it out at some point," Luo Hanyi also provided an explanation.

With the Mansion Luo being so vast, it was impossible not to investigate people’s backgrounds. Otherwise, the entire place would have been stuffed with people from other houses long ago.

"Oh," Lu Xiao responded indifferently.

"Are you upset?"

Luo Hanyi was surprised at herself when she asked that question.

Was she taking care of someone else’s feelings?

It seemed she hadn’t done that in a very long time.

Ever since her mother had passed away, she had become less talkative and maintained a respectful distance from everything around her.

Like earlier at the Cui Mansion when Cui Huai had shooed her away, she had simply said goodbye and was ready to leave.

"Nope, just that Mo Jiuzhong isn’t reliable, can’t keep his mouth shut," Lu Xiao waved his hand. He also felt warmed that Luo Hanyi cared about his feelings.

Since having some disagreements with Chen Fei, it seemed no one had asked him whether he was happy or sad.

Old man Liuli Hong had been trying to pull him out of what he called ’love sickness’, but his methods were presumptuous, and the old guy hadn’t even bothered to have a proper chat with him, let alone ask him what he truly felt.

Ha, indeed, men are such pigs.

Especially the likes of Liuli Hong who had lived more than a hundred years, an old pig through and through.

"I think so too, so I made him guard the coastline for an extra ten years," Luo Hanyi nodded in agreement.

Lu Xiao immediately gave Luo Hanyi a thumbs up.

Deservedly so, Third Young Miss, that move was quite clever.

"So, shall we continue the topic of meridian expansion?" Luo Hanyi dragged the conversation back, her eyes filled with eagerness to learn.

"This thing, it’s not something I can just teach," Lu Xiao spread his hands.

Luo Hanyi fell silent; after all, Lu Xiao came from the Xuanyuan Tomb, and such knowledge wasn’t for casual sharing.

What a pity.

"Call me Master, and I’ll teach you," Lu Xiao’s lips curved slightly upward.

Yan Yun, that foolish disciple, was unreliable; it was time for a new one.

How great would Luo Hanyi be as a disciple – beautiful and intelligent, occasionally cute, and even caring at times.

Luo Hanyi’s mouth once again opened wide.

Just by calling him Master, would that be enough? Could things really be so casual?

"Is it really okay just to call you Master? Aren’t the rules of the Holy Land very strict? Won’t it cause you trouble?" Luo Hanyi still asked.

If Lu Xiao were to be punished by the Xuanyuan Tomb for teaching her privately, then she would rather not learn.

"Trouble? Would they dare?! Even if I were to give away the entirety of Xuanyuan Tomb, nobody would dare to say anything," Lu Xiao huffed.

Of course, what Lu Xiao was thinking was that since he wasn’t actually from the Xuanyuan Tomb, he could boast however he pleased.

Hearing his words, Lu Xiao’s position in Luo Hanyi’s eyes became even more formidable.

He could be the crown prince of the Xuanyuan Tomb; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to say such things.

"Master," Luo Hanyi called out the next second.

Lu Xiao was utterly content. Indeed, the disciple he had chosen himself was perfect; even the way she called him sounded so sweet.

Not like Yan Yun, that calamitous disciple, who would make suggestive remarks all day and even harbor thoughts about his master’s body.

An utterly unfilial creature. No telling how his cultivation was going now.

"What do you think the meridians are?" Lu Xiao asked Luo Hanyi.

"The container for Qi."

"Right, but not quite," Lu Xiao shook his head, "Meridians, more importantly, are pathways."

Pathways? Luo Hanyi’s eyes sparkled brilliantly.

Just those two words made her feel like she’d had an epiphany.

Truly worthy of being a master, truly from the Holy Land.

"Therefore, what Cui Huai said was completely wrong. Meridians are crucial to a Cultivator, perhaps the most important."

"Only with wider pathways will you be able to absorb and release Qi faster."

"That’s also why I could suppress Cui Huai with my Third Level strength."

"His release volume is too small."

Luo Hanyi nodded vehemently, her eyes filled with even more anticipation.

"Want to know how to improve meridian expansion?" Lu Xiao prodded.

"Yes, yes!" Luo Hanyi’s head bobbed like pounding garlic.

"Just now, I told you, the meridians are like pathways; poking them more will make them wider," Lu Xiao continued.

Luo Hanyi: ???

What kind of scandalous talk is this, Master!

Not just Luo Hanyi, but the two trusted aides behind them started to swallow hard, their minds reeling at the rapid progression of their relationship. In a few days, they might have to start preparing for children!

"Come to my room before nightfall, and I’ll poke you," Lu Xiao added.

Luo Hanyi looked even more baffled.

Even though she knew Lu Xiao didn’t mean it in that way, the words still made her blush.

"Master, isn’t it possible during the daytime?" Luo Hanyi raised the issue, "I can’t leave my room under the Red Eyes, so if my meridians are expanded, won’t I be unable to return?"

"That’s true," Lu Xiao nodded, thoughtful.

"Then I’ll come to your room before nightfall!" Lu Xiao decided, solving the issue neatly.

Luo Hanyi opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything more.

The two trusted aides, listening to a conversation growing ever more inappropriate, were nearly ready to cover their ears.

Is this something we’re not even supposed to hear without paying?

My room, your room, and even in broad daylight... This is way too thrilling!
