Chapter 239.2 - Towards Me….. She Has Always Been Very Passionate
The quaint little courtyard was actually an exact replica of the Tranquil Abode he had lived in back at the Eternal Peace Dukes’ Manor. Even the foliage around the courtyard were very much like the plants Qing Yu had planted in leisure back in the past.
It had almost been a year since they had left to go to the Faint Mist Sect and they had not gone back since. Upon seeing the place now, Qing Bei realized that he actually missed the place quite a bit.
“This is…..” Qing Bei looked at the man beside him in surprise.
[Why would he build a place that was exactly the same as the Tranquil Abode here?]
Lou Jun Yao laughed and said: “You will be staying here from now on.”
“Why?” Qing Bei did not feel any delight in his heart but went on to knit his brows together to say. “You got your people to bring me all the way here to Cloud Heaven just to tell me this? I just want to know where Qing Yu is.”
“Of course I did not bring you here just to tell you this.” Lou Jun Yao lowered his gaze to look at the youth. “You do not have to worry about Qing Yu. I will naturally protect my people and you will just have to ensure your own wellbeing.”
He had just heard what he did not like to hear again.
Qing Bei’s face darkened for a moment before he said slowly: “When did Qing Yu become one of your people….. Aren’t you just helping us to find our mother? Aren’t you just one of mother’s friends?”
“Does that really matter?” Lou Jun Yao raised an eyebrow, feeling rather amused.
[This kid seems to have some veiled meaning behind his words!]
“Since you’re a friend of our mother’s, that means that you should be quite advanced in age already, and basing on the lifespans of people in Cloud Heaven, you would be a few hundred years old at least.”
Qing Bei said all that without any expression on his face, except for a slight gritting of his teeth right at the very end. “You’re making a move on your friend’s daughter….. And being so much older than her….. Don’t you feel guilty about it at all?”
Hearing those words, Lou Jun Yao was highly tickled.
It was a while before he laughed softly and spoke. “Who said that one cannot fall for a friend’s daughter? Moreover, you know that the lifespans of people in Cloud Heaven are very long, where some even live thousands of years. People my age here are no different from men in their twenties where you are from, so there is no problem with our ages here.”
Qing Bei was not prepared to accept that. To think that the future brother-in-law he had imagined many times before might turn out to be this man.
“Even if that is the case, that does not mean that Qing Yu would like you in return!” Qing Bei said angrily. “She is strong headed and stubborn, and if you try to force her to be with you, she will never ever submit.”
That was how he comforted himself in his heart, thinking that it was all just the man’s one-sided wishful thinking. But the action the man took in the next moment made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning.
Upon hearing his words, Lou Jun Yao first smiled through stiff lips pressed tightly together, before he innocuously tugged at the collar of his clothes to reveal his neck a little bit more.
