Chapter 242: Chapter 188 New Plan

The room was silent.

Upon hearing the news, Ran Qingmo simply parted her lips and uttered a light "Oh."

Xu Yuan, beside her, couldn’t help but frown subconsciously.

Ran Jianli.

As the leader of the Sword Sect, the State Preceptor of the current dynasty, and the nominal spokesman for the alliance of Sects, for him to ask Ran Qingmo to return to the sect at this point in time, and to have Lou Ji deliver the message, was certainly thought-provoking...

As he pondered this,

Lou Ji’s gentle voice floated over:

"Why, is our Changtian reluctant to part with our Mo Mo?"

Xu Yuan came back to his senses, looked at Lou Ji with a serious expression in his eyes,

"It’s not that."

Seeing the look in his eyes, Lou Ji seemed to understand and spoke with a tinge of teasing in her voice,

"Don’t overthink it."

After a pause,

Lou Ji’s eyes shifted sideways, glancing at the black-clothed girl opposite her and let out a playful smile, "That old man now calling Qingmo back, mostly doesn’t want his precious disciple to be snatched away by you."

Ran Qingmo blinked her beautiful eyes, seemingly comprehending yet not fully understanding.

Xu Yuan was momentarily stunned by her words, then quickly realized that it must have been the matter of an arranged marriage that had reached the old man’s ears.

Thinking of the old man’s muscular stature and rugged beard as depicted in Cang Yuan...

It wasn’t impossible.

Xu Yuan fell silent for a moment, then cleared his throat,

"If that’s the case..."

"It’s already too late."

"...." Xu Yuan.

"...." Lou Ji.

Silence.

Xu Yuan’s eyes twitched, and he turned back to look at Ran Qingmo opposite him.

Ran Qingmo was calm, looking seriously at Lou Ji and said,

"Xu Yuan and I have already done things that only a husband and wife would do."

"...."

Lou Ji’s beautiful face clearly froze for a moment, then she turned to look at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Ran Qingmo’s expression was as usual, her eyes clear as springs, her voice without the slightest fluctuation,

"Xu Yuan, I will explain things clearly to my master when I return this time."

"...."

Lou Ji seemed to understand, her eyes showed a hint of admiration, and she stealthily gave him a thumbs-up.

But then, Lou Ji gracefully stood up, walked over to Ran Qingmo’s side, lifted her chin and said with a grin,

"This, however, can’t be told to your master just yet~"

Ran Qingmo fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

After hearing the question, Lou Ji straightened up, crossed her arms, tapped her chin with her finger, and smiled with narrowed eyes,

"Qingmo, you wouldn’t want our Changtian to be sliced in half by your master’s sword, now would you?"

"...."

Images of Ran Jianli’s two-meter-long heavy sword flashed in Xu Yuan’s mind, sending a shiver down his spine.

Ran Qingmo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she pondered,

"Sister, do you mean my master wants to kill Changtian? Why?"

Lou Ji paused in silence, then rubbed her temples,

"To kill might be too much, but a few beatings are probably inevitable."

Ran Qingmo frowned,

"I will stop my master..."

"Cough."

Xu Yuan coughed lightly, drawing Ran Qingmo’s gaze to him, and said with a faint smile,

"Ran Qingmo, I think it’s something I should explain myself. What do you think?"

"...."

After a moment of thought, Ran Qingmo said softly, "Yeah, I’ll listen to you."

...

...

...

Ran Qingmo left and settled down in the adjoining room next to Xu Yuan’s.

As a parting gift, Lou Ji secretly gave Ran Qingmo a packet of Medicine Powder and two Source Crystals.

She wasn’t as generous as Xu Changge, that brother, though a bit aggressive, was always generous. Unlike this auntie, who was so stingy with her gifts.

Once again, only the two of them remained in the room,

Xu Yuan massaged his temples and looked at Lou Ji who had escorted Ran Qingmo to the door, asking,

"What did you give her?"

"Joyful Powder, the one your other sweetheart sent back a month ago."

"..." Xu Yuan.

Noticing Xu Yuan’s startled gaze, Lou Ji let out a charming laugh and waved her hand,

"Just kidding, if she wanted to force you, you couldn’t resist anyways. And I wouldn’t be so generous."

"Pretty proud of yourself," Xu Yuan gave the stingy aunt a thumbs-up.

Lou Ji snorted lightly,

"Joyful Powder is extinct, the main ingredient, Enchantress Divine Flower, is completely... what is this?"

Her words came to an abrupt stop.

The next moment,

Lou Ji almost teleported from the doorway to in front of Xu Yuan, snatching the Enchantress Divine Flower from his hands and inspecting it closely.

Witnessing Lou Ji’s behavior, Xu Yuan leaned back in his chair, smiling as he said,

"Enchantress Divine Flower, haven’t seen it before? Makes sense, since it’s extinct. It’s normal to have never seen it."

Lou Ji surreptitiously slipped the Enchantress Divine Flower into her Sumeru Ring,

"Changtian..."

As she spoke, Lou Ji sashayed behind Xu Yuan and began gently massaging his shoulders,

"Sister is best at using poison. With this Enchantress Divine Flower, if things go well, I can even eliminate a Mortal Transcendence without a sound... what do you think..."

Xu Yuan tilted his head back, resting it against her soft abdomen, enjoying the massage and replied wearily,

"Sister, you check these official documents first..."

Lou Ji’s eye twitched, her laughter lingering,

"I’ll help you."

"But aren’t you supposed to be an examiner?" Xu Yuan smiled.

Lou Ji applied slightly more pressure,

"It’s okay. If you don’t say and I don’t say, how would that old man Xu Yinhè know?"

Seeing where this was going, Xu Yuan decided to retreat while he was ahead, stood up, stretched lazily, patted the shoulder of the dreaded Blackscale Poison Lady twice,

"Then I’m off to sleep. Sister, you take care of things for me."

Having said that, Xu Yuan dived into the plush couch, waved at Lou Ji who was still standing there,

"Please take care of it, sister~"
