Chapter 540 - 540 Trust Him
540 Trust Him
Regardless of whether what Zhou Zhi said was true, she hoped it was.
“Okay, one last time.”
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu seriously, his tone unprecedentedly serious.
Su Xiaolu felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She waved her hand and said, “Pack up first. It stinks. I’ll go out first. I’ll tell you something later.”
Zhou Zhi’s body was black now and he smelled very bad.
Su Xiaolu pinched her nose in disdain and went out.
Zhou Zhi’s face was slightly red. He apologized softly, “Sorry, I was rude.”
He still did not know why his body had changed like this. It was indeed too smelly, making him rude in front of Su Xiaolu.
After washing up, Zhou Zhi felt very sleepy. He resisted his sleepiness and saw Su Xiaolu.
“Xiaolu, I don’t stink anymore.”
Zhou Zhi’s tone was soft as he yawned.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “I know. If you’re tired, go to sleep.”
Zhou Zhi shook his head. He looked at Su Xiaolu seriously and said, “Xiaolu, before I fainted, I gave an order. No matter if divine doctor Wu saved me or not, we can’t hurt him at all. Jin Yi and the others won’t go against this order. Their attitude is tough, but they won’t really hurt him. You… trust me.”
Even if he was very sleepy, he had to explain it to Su Xiaolu.
Even if he died, his people would not disobey this order.
He did not want Su Xiaolu to alienate him after calming down and thinking carefully.
He was nervous when he said this. He was afraid that Su Xiaolu would not believe him…
“Alright, I believe you. Go back to sleep.”
From Zhou Zhi’s eyes, Su Xiaolu felt his sincerity. She believed him.
His biological mother, Wei Ling, had done so much to him, but he had never really done anything out of hatred. How could she not believe a person who had suffered so much and still had good intentions?
Zhou Zhi was relieved. He looked at Su Xiaolu deeply. “Xiaolu, see you tomorrow.”
He was very weak and didn’t even have the strength to push the wooden wheelchair back. He waved for Jin Liu to push him back.
Su Xiaolu also went back. Jin Si and the others knew where she lived. They could call her if anything happened.
Su Xiaolu returned to the small courtyard and saw An Lie sitting at the door.
“An Lie, were you waiting for me here?”
Su Xiaolu called An Lie.
An Lie was originally frowning, but his brows relaxed when he heard Su Xiaolu’s voice. He stood up and said, “Su Lu, I’m here to see if you’ve packed up. I’ve already made arrangements at home. I found this place. The person who opened the door is an old man. He said that he doesn’t know Su Lu…”
An Lie felt a little aggrieved. He was not stupid. When he reacted, he knew that Su Xiaolu did not tell him her real name.
“Er… Su Lu is my nickname. Come in first.”
Su Xiaolu opened the door and let An Lie in with her.
Old Wu and Gui You looked over with disdain.
“Master, Master Gui You, this is An Lie. We can use their big ship to go fishing tomorrow.”
Su Xiaolu introduced An Lie’s identity.
An Lie was a little uneasy. These two seniors did not welcome him. He had shouted “Su Lu” loudly outside and was even beaten up by Gui You. It was very painful.
An Lie apologized first. “I’m sorry, seniors. I didn’t mean to disturb your rest just now.”
“Don’t talk so much. Don’t talk so much if you have nothing to say.”
Old Wu said to An Lie. He and Gui You had been sleeping.
An Lie knocked on the door to look for “Su Lu” and refused to leave even though he said he didn’t know her. He even shouted outside and only shut up after being beaten up. Old Wu had a very bad impression of him.
Even though he knew that Su Lu was Su Xiaolu, he still did not have a good impression of An Lie.
Gui You remained silent.
An Lie nodded uneasily.
With just a simple interaction, he knew that these two Seniors had bad tempers.
It was almost dark. Su Xiaolu went to make dinner.
Seeing how clumsy she was, An Lie took the initiative to say, “Su Lu, let me do it.”
Su Xiaolu looked at An Lie. “Then you do it.”
Her culinary skills were really not very good, but she ate fish by the sea. She cooked it and steamed it. Her culinary skills were not good, but she was not picky.
Old Wu was the same as Gui You. They were not picky either.
An Lie was very agile and skillfully stir-fried and added water.
When the food was ready, Su Xiaolu called the two Masters over to eat.
After dinner, Su Xiaolu saw that An Lie had no intention of going home. She couldn’t help but ask, “An Lie, aren’t you going home?”
An Lie looked at Su Xiaolu seriously and said, “Su Lu, I’m here to fulfill my promise. My mother ate the arowana and her eyes have recovered. My sister has also recovered. I remember what I said. I’ll be by your side for the next five years.”
An Lie was very sincere. He was here to fulfill his promise and repay the favor.
Su Xiaolu also said to An Lie seriously, “An Lie, I don’t need you to follow me everywhere. If you want to repay me, just help me when I need it. You don’t have to be where I am. You’re still the same as before. Go home when you need to. If I need you in the future, I’ll look for you.”
Su Xiaolu did not want An Lie to follow her like this, so she made it clear.
An Lie fell silent after hearing this. Then, he looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Alright, I’ll go home first. I’ll be at your disposal for the next five years, but I won’t do evil things like killing or arson. Five years later, I’ll be free. Su Lu, I’m going back.”
He could work for Su Xiaolu, but he had his principles.
As long as it was him, no matter how difficult or dangerous it was, he would do his best to do it. He would use five years to repay this favor. As for whether he could be friends with Su Lu after five years, that would depend on whether Su Lu would treat him as a friend in these five years.
“Okay.”
Su Xiaolu agreed.
She was actually not interested in enslaving An Lie, but An Lie had sincerely come to repay her, so she let him be.
After sending An Lie off, Su Xiaolu went to the main house.
“Master, Master Gui You, do you still want to go out to sea tomorrow? There’s a place where there’s a type of arowana that has a miraculous effect several times that of the white fish. The spiritual liquid I gave you was extracted from arowana meat. I’ve decided to go out to sea to catch this fish.”
Su Xiaolu said to the two Masters.
Old Wu and Gui You pondered.
Su Xiaolu continued, “Masters, do you feel that the air is much fresher when you come in? Isn’t it very comfortable to expirate internal energy? Isn’t it much easier to cultivate internal energy?”
“Masters, this arowana was recorded in the ancient books. It has already disappeared for thousands of years, but it has appeared again. I think this matter is not simple. Perhaps in the future, the species recorded in the ancient books will appear again and increase in numbers. Perhaps the world recorded in the ancient books will revive again. At that time, people might live for hundreds of years, and there might also be fiendish demons in the world.” Su Xiaolu felt that it was time to face this matter seriously.
