141: Escaped

“Finally, I’ve escaped a calamity!”

Thankfully, he had brilliant methods, astonishing techniques, and rich experience.

Su Xuan never dreamed that, in the end, what saved his life would actually be this!

Su Xuan reminisced for a moment, then, taking advantage of no one being around, he immediately ran out.

And just at this moment, the maid named Xiaochun also walked in.

“Old Ancestor… Old Ancestor?”

Xiaochun nudged Liu Ruoli.

She had just heard that the Saint Lord had brought Su Xuan, so she went to greet them.

But she didn’t expect that after searching for a long time, she couldn’t find any trace of Su Xuan or the Saint Lord.

Helpless, Xiaochun had no choice but to return here.

“Mmm… Mmm… So comfortable… How did I just fall asleep?”

Liu Ruoli stretched, rubbing her eyes.

It was really too comfortable just now; Liu Ruoli couldn’t resist and simply fell asleep.

“Xiaochun, you did well!”

Liu Ruoli looked at Xiaochun with a hint of appreciation.

“What’s wrong, Old Ancestor?”

Xiaochun’s expression subtly changed; Liu Ruoli wouldn’t be speaking in Yin and Yang tones to her, would she? She hadn’t brought Su Xuan…

Thinking of this, Xiaochun’s heart immediately pounded with fear.

“Still pretending? When did you learn such amazing massage techniques? You didn’t even tell me!”

“You massaged so comfortably that I just fell straight to sleep; you’re really good at hiding it!”

Seeing Xiaochun still pretending, Liu Ruoli also teased her, thinking Xiaochun was playing hard to get with her!

“Old Ancestor, I was outside just now; I didn’t massage you, did I?”

Xiaochun was a bit puzzled.

“What? Is that true or false?”

Liu Ruoli was a bit confused, she touched her head, wondering if she had just been muddled from sleep?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, she was a dignified Great Emperor, how could she be muddled from sleep!

No matter how comfortable it was, it wouldn’t be like this!

“What Xiaochun said is true. Xiaochun just went to greet the guest and only came back to see you, Old Ancestor, asleep…”

Xiaochun explained nervously.

“That’s strange… How could this be? I clearly… And your voice too, didn’t you say your throat was uncomfortable? How come your voice is no different?”

Liu Ruoli was getting dizzy, where was this leading her? Could everything just now have been a dream?

“What’s wrong, Old Ancestor…”

Xiaochun was a little worried; she thought Liu Ruoli had gone crazy.

“Nothing… Maybe I was just muddled from sleep?”

Liu Ruoli said.

Liu Ruoli looked down and found that there was still a faint red mark, indicating that what happened just now shouldn’t have been a dream.

But, if it wasn’t Xiaochun? Then who was it? Could some outsider have come here?

Liu Ruoli was a bit annoyed; if it was really like that, and this person impersonated Xiaochun to do such a thing to her, she would definitely not let him off!

“By the way, Old Ancestor, the person has been brought and is waiting in the main hall now…”

Xiaochun received a sound transmission from a Disciple outside.

“Oh? That fast? Quickly help me change, I’ll go see right away!”

Liu Ruoli put aside the matter here for a moment and calmed her mood.

Liu Ruoli quickly changed her clothes.

Stepping into the main hall, when she saw Su Xuan, he had already found a place to sit down.

The moment Liu Ruoli appeared, Su Xuan felt a little guilty, but he still pretended to be calm.

“This Su Xuan, the moment he saw me, his heartbeat quickened a bit, could it be him?”

Liu Ruoli frowned slightly.

But on second thought, this didn't seem quite right; in her memory, every man she met reacted this way the moment they saw her.

Plus, it was Su Xuan’s first time here, how could he so easily find her bathroom and be so audacious?

So, Liu Ruoli dismissed her suspicion of Su Xuan.

“Junior Su Xuan respectfully greets Old Ancestor!”

Su Xuan bowed slightly with great politeness.

“Dispense with the formalities, Su Xuan, I apologize for making you wait!”

Liu Ruoli said with a hint of apology.

“Not at all, not at all, Old Ancestor arrived just in time!”

Su Xuan replied courteously.

The two sat down, their eyes meeting.

Liu Ruoli wore a simple white long dress, her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, casually draped over her shoulders, her skin as white as snow, breathtakingly beautiful.

She exuded an ethereal aura, like a Fairy descended from the Nine Heavens.

At this moment, Su Xuan finally understood what it meant to be a person who stepped out of a painting; Liu Ruoli was such a person.

“Am I very beautiful?”

Liu Ruoli felt like playing a trick.

“Beautiful!”

Su Xuan said without hesitation.

“Beautiful where?”

Liu Ruoli pressed on.

“Everywhere is beautiful, everywhere is beautiful!”

Su Xuan was like a fawning dog.

Seeing this, Liu Ruoli was very satisfied; this also matched her impression of how ordinary men reacted when they saw her.

“You, kid, your mouth is quite sweet, so good at talking, why didn’t you become my Disciple back then?”

“If you had become my Disciple, you wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of your life!”

Liu Ruoli laughed.

“Well, that’s a long story, Junior has his own plans!”

Su Xuan laughed awkwardly.

He didn’t expect Liu Ruoli to still remember that incident; she seemed a bit resentful!

But, at that time, he had his eyes on Tang Mei, and most importantly, whether he became a Disciple or not wasn't important; he had a System, so having a master or not was fine.

The most crucial thing was that Tang Mei wouldn’t be so strict with him.

He didn’t understand Liu Ruoli; although following her would mean no worries for life, what if the price was freedom?

“It’s alright, I can understand! If you have any Cultivation problems in the future, you can also come to me!”

Liu Ruoli laughed.

However, just at this moment, Liu Ruoli suddenly noticed something amiss.

That was, there was a watermark under Su Xuan’s feet, and his hands were also a bit wrinkled, as if they had been soaked in water.

“What’s going on with your feet?”

Liu Ruoli frowned, involuntarily connecting Su Xuan with the thief from earlier.

“Replying to Old Ancestor, when the Saint Lord notified Junior, Junior was taking a bath, so, a little water is normal, right?”

Su Xuan quickly came up with an excuse.

“So that’s how it is!”

Liu Ruoli nodded thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Su Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief; he almost thought Liu Ruoli had discovered something!

Thankfully, his acting was indeed up to par, and his excuse was also well-found.

“Hehehe! With my acting skills now, maybe I could even win an Oscar!”

Su Xuan thought.

Just as Su Xuan was feeling smug, Liu Ruoli suddenly spoke.

“Xiaochun!”

“Eh…”

Su Xuan subconsciously cleared his throat and replied.

“Damn it!”
