"Although it might not look pretty or even much like a sword, the fact that it was given by that mysterious senior and crowned with the name ’Great Luo Immortal Gold’ suggests it’s anything but ordinary."
Su Luo muttered to himself.
Then, he tried to control the sword with his True Qi. With a gentle wave, he slashed out a Sword Qi. Had Su Luo not retracted it in time, it might have easily cut through a wall of the Su Family Ancestral House.
This made Su Luo even more ecstatic.
With the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo in hand, his combat power had increased significantly.
"With this Storage Ring, I can carry a lot of stuff with me from now on." Su Luo placed the ring his grandfather had left him onto his finger.
As with the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo that the mysterious senior had given him, Su Luo wouldn’t always hold it in his hand when not in use. Storing it in the Storage Ring was the best choice, taking it out only when needed.
These gains somewhat offset the disappointment of the precious materials and Spirit Stones left by his grandfather being absorbed by the mysterious senior.
"Grandfather, rest assured, I will uncover the truth and avenge you."
Su Luo didn’t wallow in grief over his grandfather’s death. Instead, he placed a photo of them together into the Storage Ring and silently vowed.
He would go to the Capital City to reclaim his grandfather’s belongings and search for news about his parents.
But at the same time, he would certainly avenge his grandfather.
Therefore.
Su Luo went straight back to the Qing Zhi Bar.
He found Rose.
"Rose, I’d like to see Aunt Shen," Su Luo stated his purpose directly.
"Now?" Rose frowned.
"If it’s possible now, then that would be for the best. But I don’t want to cause any trouble for Aunt Shen. When it’s convenient for her, that’s when we can meet," Su Luo explained. He couldn’t contact Shen Qingzhi directly, fearing it might bring her danger. So, he wanted to let Shen Qingzhi know through Rose.
That way, they could meet whenever it was convenient for her.
"Are you here on serious business, or are your thoughts wandering to more carnal desires?" Rose asked with a laugh.
Su Luo gave a wry smile and said, "Do you really see me that way, Rose?"
Rose looked at him with a smile, not saying a word, but her eyes confirmed her thoughts.
"I am here on serious business," Su Luo stated earnestly.
"Okay, I will talk to Shen Jie. Once she replies, I’ll let you know," seeing that Su Luo had serious business, Rose stopped joking and assured him with a serious expression.
"Thank you, Rose," Su Luo immediately expressed his gratitude.
"What are you thanking me for? No need to be so formal," Rose said with a smile.
After that, Rose left.
Su Luo didn’t have to wait long; roughly an hour later, Rose came looking for him.
"Has Aunt Shen replied?"
Su Luo asked.
Rose said with a smile, "Come with me to the office."
After speaking, she took hold of Su Luo’s hand and walked out.
Feeling the soft and delicate sensation in the palm of his hand, Su Luo felt a bit unusual, but he didn’t pull away. Of course, he wouldn’t shake her off either. Instead, he let Rose lead him by the hand to her office.
After all, they were supposed to be a couple to outsiders.
Sometimes, keeping up appearances was somewhat necessary.
Upon reaching the office.
They pushed open the door and entered.
At that moment, a figure stood by the window, looking outside. As Su Luo was led in by Rose’s hand, he saw a graceful figure from behind, whose slender waist and curvaceous hips outlined perfect curves and angles, complemented by two long, fair legs glistening under the light, instantly drawing Su Luo’s gaze.
She perfectly demonstrated how a mere silhouette could stir one’s heart and inspire an impulsive beat.
"Shen Jie, Su Luo is here,"
Rose said as she walked in holding Su Luo’s hand.
"Aunt Shen."
Su Luo called out to the silhouette.
Shen Qingzhi turned around.
Today, she wore light makeup, exuding a sense of refinement all over, a kind of nobility, but also with the maturity of a young woman, adding an extra bit of allure.
"Still holding hands, reluctant to let go?"
Shen Qingzhi joked, seeing Su Luo and Rose.
Su Luo suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
The last time, he mistakenly treated Lin Ruoxi as Aunt Shen, which led to a misunderstanding, and being caught by Shen Qingzhi felt like being caught cheating in the act.
And now, he was caught holding hands with Rose in front of Aunt Shen, having forgotten to let go.
Even though most of it was because he was stunned by Aunt Shen’s beauty and forgot to release her hand for a moment, it still gave Su Luo a feeling of being caught in the act.
Su Luo was somewhat embarrassed and also felt guilty.
Rose’s face turned slightly red, feeling a bit awkward as well, and she quickly let go of Su Luo’s hand.
"Don’t be nervous, I was just joking," Shen Qingzhi said with a smile.
Su Luo felt even more guilty.
He quickly changed the subject and asked directly, "Aunt Shen, I came to you to ask about my grandfather. My grandfather was the somewhat famous fortune-teller of Jiangbei, known as Su Xiazi."
