The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 202: Farewell

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

One could be austere if he had no selfish desires.

Honestly speaking, Bai Qiuxue was an excellent young lady. A mild-mannered good girl, fine match for the gentleman. Still, Lu Li knew who he was. He had no mind of wooing Bai Qiuxue.

First of all, he wouldn’t join the Bai Family. Second, he could not reveal his identity of being a disciple of the Lu Family. Third, Madam Yan had mentioned that Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were to marry warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. Lu Li was not so ambitious that he believed he could reach the Human Sovereign Realm.

He had too many things anyway. He wouldn’t let romantic emotions get in his way before he could save his parents, or get Lu Ling back. Therefore, he had frozen his heart. All he had was pure admiration for Bai Qiuxue.

Since he had no romantic thoughts, he could look at Bai Qiuxue with eyes like limpid pools. He had not lust, no impulse or desire. He only regarded her as a beautiful lady.

“Nothing much. Just here to see how your wounds are now.”

Bai Qiuxue quickly reacted. She said with a sweet smile, “I am relieved now that you can walk. You must have recovered well.”

“Ah, right!”

Before Lu Li responded, Bai Qiuxue suddenly stood up and bowed to him, “I am here today to thank you. Thank you for saving me twice inside the Tomb of Dragon King. I will engrave your kindness to my heart.”

Lu Li didn’t stop Bai Qiuxue since he still had wounds. He said with a smile, “Lady Qiuxue, this is too much. This doesn’t worth mentioning. Of course… to be remembered by Lady Qiuxue is my blessing. Maybe every young master of the Thousand-island Lake now is jealous of me. Ha, ha, ha.”

When she saw how nonchalant Lu Li was, Bai Qiuxue couldn’t help but to say, “Lu Li, you really are special. None of the young masters of the Thousand-island Lake can compare to you.”

“Thank you!”

Lu Li really remained calm, not feeling flattered at all. He answered with a smile, “This is really worth a toast to be praised by Lady Qiuxue like this.”

Bai Qiuxue’s mind was wrestling even more looking at how cool Lu Li was.

Usually, her charisma could impress many young masters and she could act freely. This time, however, she felt she was suppressed by Lu Li and she was the one acting cautiously.

“So he really has no feeling towards me?”

Bai Qiuxue was having doubts. Women’s minds were complicated. Even though she knew nothing would happen between her and Lu Li, she wanted to win Lu Li over with her charm.

Previously, all the young masters were obsessed with her. Now, there was an exception, so she didn’t feel comfortable…

After a moment of absence of mind, Bai Qiuxue asked with seriousness, “Lu Li, can I ask you a question?”

Lu Li nodded and replied, “Lady Qiuxe, ask away. I will tell you everything I can. I will not lie to you at least… if I am not at liberty to say.”

Lu Li seemed to have guessed what Bai Qiuxue wanted to ask so he put his cards on the table. Bai Qiuxue was kind of disappointed but she asked anyway, “I want to ask, that roar, was it a Xuan Skill of the soul category?”

“That…”

Lu Li really didn’t know about that. Everyone could only have one Bloodline Skill, but he had two. He himself was confused. He thought about it and said, “All I can tell you is—I’m not sure. I don’t know myself.”

Seeing the sincerity in Lu Li’s eyes, she nodded. Then she asked, “Then can you tell me if you just learned the Xuan Skill in the Tomb of the Dragon King?”

Bai Qiuxue wanted to ask if Lu Li acquired the Xuan Skill in the Tomb of Dragon King. But she posed another question because she didn’t feel comfortable asking directly.

Lu Li found it easy to answer. He said with certainty, “Yes. I didn’t know it before. I only perceived it in the Tomb of the Dragon King.”

“So it really is…”

Bai Qiuxue misinterpreted Lu Li’s words and thought he had acquired the booklet of Xuan Skill in the Tomb of Dragon King. Her eyes sparkled as she said, “Then can you sell a copy to the Bai Family? A hand-written copy would be fine. You can name your price.”

“Hand-written copy?”

Lu Li broke into laughter. How could he have a hand-written copy? The information just came to his mind. Only he could perceive this and he couldn’t pass this along to anyone. Even if he told people about it, they couldn’t have learned it. Lu Li smiled a forced smile and said, “Lady Qiuxue, I am not hiding it from you. If I could write it down, I would sell it to the Bai Family. I cannot refuse if you ask. But… this really cannot be done. As for the reason, don’t ask.”

Bai Qiuxue felt disappointed again but she could tell Lu Li wasn’t lying to her. She nodded and said, “Okay. I can understand. I have been rude.”

Lu Li smiled but didn’t explain more. Bai Qiuxue asked one last thing, “Lu Li, will you join the Bai Family? I want… to hear your sincere thoughts.”

Lu Li wanted to say that he might consider it, yet seeing into the pearl-like beautiful eyes of Bai Qiuxue, he couldn’t lie. He just smiled without saying anything.

Bai Qiuxue was extremely smart. She knew the answer from Lu Li’s smile. She didn’t try to convince him anymore. Standing up, Bai Qiuxue said, “Lu Li, put your mind at ease. I will not tell another soul. We will be friends forever whatever happens.”

“Oh!”

Bai Qiuxue took a token out from her Interspatial Ring and said, “On the winding mountain road, I once said that we will split whatever treasures we got. I got a Heaven Grade Xuan Skill. I want the Xuan Skill and the Xuan Crystals equal to half of the value are in here. Take good care of yourself. I will leave now.”

Lu Li got up, gazed after Bai Qiuxue as she left. Even though he had answered Bai Qiuxue’s questions, he didn’t worry too much.

He had felt Bai Qiuxue’ sincerity. The lady graceful, gentle, and smart. Since she had given her words, she would deliver. She wouldn’t betray him and she would definitely offer help if Lu Li was in trouble.

“She is really good. Only Human Sovereign warriors will deserve this kind of beautiful lady.”

Lu Li thought to himself. He took the token and went back to his room. As for how many Xuan Crystals were in the token, Lu Li didn’t care. He was not in want of Xuan Crystals now.

He drove everything out of his mind, went directly to his closed-door training and heal his wounds at the same time.

Nobody troubled him for the rest of the time. Neither Madam Yan nor Bai Qiuxue were here. Only Chief Steward Bai would visit him occasionally with utmost respect.

Four days later, Lu Li was almost recovered. He decided to go back to the Blood Evil Island. The other young masters and young ladies had gone back a long time ago so Lu Li felt uncomfortable living here alone.

After he mentioned his intention to Chief Steward Bai, Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxe, Bai Xiashuang and Bai Gu all came to see him off.

Madam Yan valued him very much. She asked Chief Steward Bai to escort Lu Li to the Teleportation Formation in person. Once again, she asked Lu Li to take some serious considerations and reminded him that the gate of the Bai Family would be open for him at all times.

Usually, saying goodbyes at the Teleportation Formation on the Bai Emperor Mountain would suffice. So many people being here was a big gesture enough.

Bai Qiuxue suddenly said unexpectedly, “Lu Li, let’s go. I will go to the Heaven Prison City with you.”

Madam Yan threw Bai Qiuxue a glance which spoke volumes but she didn’t say anything. Bai Xiashuang and Bai Gu were surprised, though. Bai Qiuxue walked into the Teleportation Formation with a gentle smile. Lu Li had to cup his fists in front of his chest to bid farewell to Madam Yan. Bai Xiashuang walked into the Teleportation Formation after some thoughts.

A ray of white light flashed by. Lu Li and the others vanished into the Teleportation Formation. Bai Gu, Bai Ying and others looked at Madam Yan. Bai Gu said, “Madam, will Qiuxue…”

“It’s okay.”

Madam Yan waved her hand and said, “Qiuxue is a clever girl. She knows what she is doing. Go back now and don’t you worry.”

After Lu Li and the others were teleported, they all went onto a luxurious chariot and headed toward the Heaven Prison City.

When they arrived at the Teleportation Formation in the city, Lu Li got up and said, “Thank you very much for seeing me off. I think we can apart here.”

Bai Qiuxue smiled gently. She walked over with Lu Li, and stood outside the Teleportation Formation with him. All the guardsmen there knelt down. Soon, the plaza was swept by a huge sensation.

Lu Li was smiling a bitter smile in his mind looking at all the glares thrown his way.

Bai Qiuxue had chosen to send him here on purpose. This was to demonstrate to all the forces of the Thousand-island Lake how much the Bai Family and she valued Lu Li. From now on, whoever dared to land a hand on Lu Li would have to seriously consider if they were going to anger the Bai Family.

Her mind was good, but Lu Li had a bad feeling. Was he going to be burnt to death by the fire of jealousy from all the young masters of the Thousand-island Lake now that Bai Qiuxue had this attitude?
