Chapter 403 - Don’t Like Me
Chapter 403: Don’t Like Me
Up until they walked out of the Duanmu residence, no one from the Duanmu family appeared.
After getting into the car, Chu Luo asked Li Yan, “Where’s your phone?”
Li Yan took out his phone.
Chu Luo finally understood. “Looks like the Duanmu family blocked your phone at that time. My call was transferred to another phone.”
Li Yan immediately guessed what had happened and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
Chu Luo grabbed his hand and asked, “At that time, when the Duanmu family said that my soul couldn’t merge with this body 100%, did you believe them?”
Li Yan actually responded with an “Mm.”
Then, he pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. In a hoarse voice, he asked, “Is what they said true?”
Chu Luo looked up at him and shook her head. “Definitely not.”
Then, she raised her wrist to show him. “As long as my intrinsic beast is here, this body is mine.”
After saying that, she raised her hand and placed it under his chin. She touched it and asked with a smile, “If what they say is true, what do you plan to do?”
“I’ll immediately go down to the tomb to find the legendary divine medicine for you, as long as it can let you live.”
Chu Luo’s hand stopped on the side of his face. She frowned and said, “There are no divine medicines or divine artifacts in that tomb.”
The most powerful person was the High Priest.
With the High Priest, it was better than any divine medicine or divine artifact.
“I know.” Li Yan grabbed her hand and kissed it. “As long as I can make you stay by my side, I can go anywhere.”
“However… since the Duanmu family wants me to go there so much, I’ll fulfill their wish.”
Today, the Duanmu family and Li Yan had fallen out and Old Master’s actions had disappointed him. In that case, why should he worry about Old Master’s kindness to him?
Speaking of repaying kindness, he had already repaid it the moment he saved Old Master.
One could only blame the Duanmu family for being greedy.
“I’ll go too.” Chu Luo knew why he was going. Without thinking, she said, “I’m going to bring back the person who cast the Gu poison on Teacher Gao. At the same time, I can deal with those experts and mages.”
The corners of Li Yan’s lips curled up.
Since the two of them had decided on this matter, they definitely had to be prepared.
The next morning, Li Yan went out.
Chu Luo went to tell Professor Tang and the others that she might be away for a few days in the morning. Then, she went to the Li residence to see Old Gao.
When Old Gao saw Chu Luo, he was a little surprised. “Little Chu Luo, why are you here at this time?”
Chu Luo smiled and replied, “I miss you and Mrs. Gao.”
“Haha, you came at the right time. Come and see my results for the past few days.”
With that, he led her to the desk.
When he walked to the desk, Old Gao went over to turn on the computer and showed her a document.
After Chu Luo saw this, she gave Old Gao a thumbs up. “Teacher Gao, you’re really amazing. You actually finished the advanced studies class at the Imperial University.”
“Haha, that’s true.” Old Gao raised his chin slightly and said with a proud expression, “Since I can teach such an incredible student like you, I definitely won’t be too bad.”
When Mrs. Gao, who happened to bring tea to Chu Luo, heard this, she deliberately retorted, “Forget it. Little Chu is a Goddess of Studying more incredible than a top student. Out of 24 hours a day, you study for at least 16 hours. What’s there to be proud of?”
Old Gao glared at Mrs. Gao in dissatisfaction. “Mrs. Gao, so what if I study for 16 hours? As long as I can learn it.”
Chu Luo chimed in, “Yes, as long as Teacher Gao can learn it. However… even though learning is important, health is more important. Teacher Gao, don’t force yourself.”
Mrs. Gao agreed. “That’s right. Don’t you know what your current situation is? Why do you keep complaining about me nagging you?”
After saying that, she said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, why don’t you find something else for Old Gao to do? I think he’s just idle.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and suggested, “Teacher Gao, why don’t you plant flowers and raise birds in the courtyard?”
“I’m not interested. This is what rich and idle people do. It’s not good to waste time on such stuff.”
Chu Luo thought for a while. “Teacher Gao, why don’t you give the juniors online lessons? This way, your class won’t be delayed.”
“Ah! That’s a good idea.”
Old Gao suddenly became a little excited. “Then I’ll call the school’s heads and mention it to them.”
After saying that, he took out his phone and called the school’s heads.
Chu Luo and Mrs. Gao stood there and looked at him.
Mrs. Gao laughed and said, “Your Teacher Gao has been teaching for almost twenty years. He has never been idle. Now that he’s so free, it’s like grass has grown on him. If the school’s heads agree to your suggestion, he won’t be so bored.”
Chu Luo smiled and said, “Teacher Gao has the virtue of a teacher. He should teach more students.”
Old Gao finished his call quickly. Looking at the brilliant smile on his face, they knew that the school must have agreed.
He said to the two of them sternly, “The school said that from next week onwards, when I resume my previous classes, I’ll give the students online lessons.”
Chu Luo smiled and said, “Teacher Gao, aren’t you worried that the juniors will be busy during the online class? Can’t you control them?”
“Don’t worry. The school’s head said that ever since you gave everyone a class last time, this year’s students simply feel incredible. They’re all waiting to get into Imperial University three years later to be your junior.”
Old Gao even sighed. “If I had known that I could still teach classes online, I would have applied earlier.”
Chu Luo and Mrs. Gao laughed.
Chu Luo stayed here until the Sun family called her and said that the herbs were ready. She only left after they sent them over.
When she arrived at the old district, the Sun family had already sent the herbs over.
It was sent over personally by Third Master Sun and Sun Tianhao.
Chu Luo had asked the butler to come over in the morning, so the butler was telling them where to move the herbs.
When Chu Luo entered, Sun Tianhao was the first to see Chu Luo. He grinned at her.
“Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo walked over and glanced at the herbs.
Third Master Sun asked, “Little Chu, see if these herbs are enough. If not, we’ll bring more over immediately.”
The herbs they sent were in large wooden boxes. Each wooden box could hold at least 70 to 80 kilograms. She and Professor Tang had prescribed a total of 12 herbs, and there were obviously more than 12 wooden boxes.
Chu Luo nodded. “This is enough.”
“Alright, I’ll get someone to move these herbs in first.”
After Third Master Sun finished speaking, he and the butler instructed the men to carry the wooden box inside.
Sun Tianhao and Chu Luo stood together.
Sun Tianhao sized up the entire villa and praised, “Chu Luo, I didn’t expect you to have such a house here. The environment here looks really good.”
“Of course. Look whose house this is.”
Sun Tianhao was amused by Chu Luo’s words. After laughing, he said, “Chu Luo, you’re just like Bai Ling in the game. You’re especially arrogant, but I like it.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she immediately took a few steps to the side and maintained a distance from him. “Don’t like me.”
Sun Tianhao looked at her behavior and the corners of his lips twitched. He said in dissatisfaction, “It’s in the way that an older brother likes a younger sister. I’m not crazy to be liking you despite knowing that you have a husband!”
“Oh, that’s good.”
“…”
Sun Tianhao was silent for a while before suddenly asking worriedly, “Chu Luo, your mouth is so vicious. How can Li Yan withstand you?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and lifted her chin slightly with a confident expression. “Yan likes everything about me. How can he not be able to stand me?”
Sun Tianhao didn’t believe it at all. He muttered in confusion, “Indeed, some people can only be seen from afar. How did I like your character in the game back then?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and couldn’t be bothered with him. She walked in.
Sun Tianhao quickly followed her and said to her mysteriously, “Chu Luo, I’ve brought the herbs you gave me. They’re still in my car. I’ll move them in after my father leaves.”
Chu Luo looked at him suspiciously.
Sun Tianhao looked at Third Master Sun in the backyard. Seeing that he wasn’t paying attention to this side, he said, “My father keeps saying that we won’t go to the tomb. I secretly prepared this.”
Chu Luo nodded and continued walking in.
There were too many boxes filled with herbs. Some were placed in the living room, and the rest were placed in the courtyard.
After they were done, Third Master Sun came over and asked Chu Luo, “Little Chu, what else do you need me to do? Don’t stand on ceremony and just tell me.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “You can leave a few people behind to help me organize the herbs.”
Sun Tianhao immediately recommended himself. “Dad, I’m staying.”
Third Master Sun still had to go back and prepare to leave, so he agreed. “Alright, I’ll leave a few more people behind.”
After saying that, he even said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, let Tianhao do whatever work you have. This kid is strong.”
“Okay.”
After Third Master Sun left, Sun Tianhao waited for Chu Luo to arrange for the people his father had left behind before going to the car outside to retrieve the herbs he had bought.
The two of them didn’t go to the backyard and stood in the front yard. Sun Tianhao opened the herbs for Chu Luo to take a look.
“How is it? My herbs aren’t bad, right?”
“Not bad. How did you buy it?”
Sun Tianhao said smugly, “I got someone to buy it for me.”
Chu Luo looked at his expression and strode towards the backyard. As she walked, she said, “Your mission today is to grind all the herbs you brought that need to be ground into medicinal powder.”
