91: The misunderstanding is even bigger
In order to receive focused cultivation from the Zhou Family, Zhou Luo had gone to great lengths to build up a favorable impression with Lin Zhishou, which led to the latter's current high regard for him.
Now, if Lin Xin were to report what he had just said back to the Zhou Family.
Although it wouldn't cause the Zhou Family's immense fury, it would definitely create a rift.
After all, an outsider who never considered himself a Lin Family member, no matter how high his talent, isn't worth the Zhou Family continuing to cultivate.
Previously, whether it was the Great Elder or the Main Family, they all wanted to win him over, and it was based on his loyalty to the Lin Family.
When the Zhou Family determines he is disloyal to the Zhou Family, they will naturally take back everything.
While eating, the more Zhou Luo thought about it, the more serious the matter seemed.
So, after returning his bowl and chopsticks, and having prepared his explanations, he knocked on Lin Xin's door.
The soundproofing talisman could only block sounds within the room, so his knocking would definitely be heard by Lin Xin.
But after waiting for a while, the other party did not open the door.
Is she really angry?
Zhou Luo thought inwardly that the situation was bad and that he must explain this properly, otherwise his future in the Zhou Family would be completely ruined.
So he could only knock again.
Bang bang bang—
A muffled sound continued to emanate, and Zhou Luo said, "Third Miss, what happened just now was a misunderstanding, I can explain."
But for some reason, the other party still didn't open the door.
Zhou Luo had no choice but to continue thick-skinned, "What I said at the time was just to avoid trouble, it wasn't sincere."
"If it weren't for the Zhou Family's cultivation, how could I have reached this point today? I have always been extremely grateful to the Zhou Family, so I never felt like I wasn't a Lin Family member."
"The Zhou Family is so good to me, how could I not consider myself a disciple of the Zhou Family?"
...
Before he could finish, the door was suddenly pulled open.
Lin Xin glared at him, "Are you done yet?"
Before Zhou Luo even saw the person, he smelled a faint fragrance, and when he saw Lin Xin herself.
He was surprised to find that she seemed to have just finished bathing; her dark, beautiful hair was still damp, and she was only wearing a single magic robe, which couldn't conceal her proud figure, especially the scene of her upright chest, which made it impossible to look away.
Could it be that she...
Zhou Luo now knew why the other party hadn't opened the door all this time.
He quickly lowered his head but accidentally caught sight of her fair, slender jade legs, with a few drops of water still on her smooth calves, a sight that made one's blood surge.
He could only turn around and say apologetically, "Third Miss, I didn't know you were..."
Bang—
The door was slammed shut again.
Zhou Luo had a face full of despair.
It seems the situation is getting worse and worse.
Inside the room, Lin Xin sat on a chair, her slender jade legs extremely alluring under the magic robe, her flushed face showing a livid expression.
She had always had the habit of bathing at home, so naturally, she continued it after coming here.
She just didn't expect Zhou Luo to show up at this critical moment.
Crucially, because of the soundproofing talisman, she couldn't transmit sound from inside.
She originally thought he would knock for a while and then leave tactfully.
But she didn't expect this guy to get worse and worse, even starting to explain loudly outside the door.
Isn't this clearly making a spectacle for everyone?
So Lin Xin didn't care about any embarrassment, put on a magic robe, opened the door, scolded him, and then closed the door again.
Her beautiful eyes stared at the wooden tub, and Lin Xin immediately lost the desire to continue soaking and began to get dressed.
Outside the door, Zhou Luo was stuck in place, unsure whether to leave or stay.
Fortunately, at this moment, Wang Yuwei opened her door.
"It was just a few words, is there a need to be so nervous?" Wang Yuwei smiled as she looked at him, then said meaningfully, "Or are you doing this on purpose?"
Zhou Luo gave a bitter laugh.
He thought, I'm more wronged than Dou E.
Who knew this Third Miss wouldn't use the cleansing talisman provided by the Immortal Sect and insisted on choosing to bathe?
Just now, he was too eager to explain, which led to such an awkward situation.
Facing Wang Yuwei's teasing now, he said helplessly, "If I say this was an accident, do you believe me?"
"Believe, of course I believe."
As she spoke, Wang Yuwei walked out of the room and said thoughtfully, "She's already engaged, you'd better not do this in the future, it's a bad influence."
"I..." Zhou Luo was momentarily speechless.
I didn't want this to happen either.
"Alright, I was just teasing you."
Just as the two were chatting, the door was opened again.
Having changed back into a simple white knee-length skirt, she looked at the two with an icy face.
"If you did that on purpose, I'll dig out your eyeballs."
She stared at Zhou Luo, her voice cold.
"Third Miss, it was truly an accident," Zhou Luo said quite helplessly.
"What exactly did you want to say just now?" Lin Xin ignored the matter and asked instead.
"I wanted to explain what I said just now to that guy surnamed Lu," Zhou Luo straightened up, his face sincere.
"Oh, I know, you don't need to explain," Lin Xin responded coldly.
"That..." Zhou Luo still wanted to say something.
Lin Xin directly interrupted him, "Don't worry, I'm not so idle as to use this kind of thing to secretly slander you."
Hearing this, Zhou Luo felt a sense of relief, and he quickly praised, "Third Miss is indeed broad-minded and upright..."
"Stop, flattery is unnecessary," Lin Xin stopped him, then looked at Wang Yuwei, "And why are you standing here?"
"I came to find Zhou Luo about something," Wang Yuwei said as she pushed Zhou Luo to the side.
Lin Xin looked at the two with suspicion.
At this moment, Zhou Luo had already been pushed aside, and he called out loudly, "Third Miss, my loyalty to the Lin Family is witnessed by heaven..."
Bang—
His only response was the sound of a door closing.
"I didn't realize you were so thick-skinned too," Wang Yuwei covered her mouth and chuckled when she saw this scene.
"You don't understand, this is called the Law of survival," Zhou Luo said proudly.
"Alright, alright, then shouldn't you come into the room and teach me?" Wang Yuwei said as she pushed him into the room.
Inside the room, Wang Yuwei closed the door, the smile on her face undiminished.
Zhou Luo sat on the chair, the stone that had been hanging in his heart had finally fallen after hearing Lin Xin's words.
He looked at Wang Yuwei by the door and said, "Tell me, what information do you have about this place?"
Ever since he learned that he could only get some rewards from this Immortal Sect study trip at most, Zhou Luo had been extremely eager to know what information Wang Yuwei was talking about, to see if he could get a little comfort.
A subtle, almost imperceptible look flashed in Wang Yuwei's eyes.
Her expression, however, bloomed into a smile, and she sat across from him, placing her right hand on the table and saying, "Then where is your sincerity?"
Zhou Luo didn't waste words, directly taking out a jade bottle from his Pregnant and placing it on the table.
Wang Yuwei's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and after taking it, she carefully examined it.
After confirming they were all Azure Water Pills, the smile on her face became even wider.
But before she could put them away, Zhou Luo suddenly acted, snatching them back.
"Then where is your sincerity?" Zhou Luo returned the original words.
