As the distance to Dashacheng was getting closer, the convoy also slowed down its speed, moving steadily along the main road. Along the way, it started to get lively, with bustling crowds coming and going, showing the prosperity and popularity of Dashacheng.
In the train car.
Li Luo recounted the events of the academy's grand examination in a very calm tone, and finally said: "Actually, I just wanted to mix in the top ten and get an admission quota."
"It's always these people who force me."
Jiang Qing'e leaned on the table, one hand propping up her pointed chin, and after listening, she smiled and said: "It sounds like this Lü Qing'er is quite interesting to you."
Li Luo almost sprained his waist, your focus is a bit different, huh?
"We're just pure classmates." He clarified.
Jiang Qing'e smiled and said: "This is nothing, I thought that girl was pretty good when I saw her before. The fact that she can see you also shows that your own charm is not small."
Li Luo stared at Jiang Qing'e's absolutely beautiful and clean face, those golden eyes were so dazzling and resplendent, he could feel that she didn't seem to care about it.
But this indifference, on the contrary, made Li Luo's mood not so high, because it shows that in Jiang Qing'e's heart, their relationship has not been really defined as between men and women.
Her emotions towards him must be extremely complicated, with the entanglement of childhood friends, but more like a sister's doting and tolerance towards her younger brother.
Perhaps sometimes, even she herself can't tell them apart very clearly.
But one thing can be confirmed, the current Jiang Qing'e is nominally his fiancée and can unconditionally trust him to do many things for him, but in fact, she has not regarded their relationship as a romantic one.
To be honest, in her own eyes, the relationship between men and women was still not as trustworthy as the complex relationship she had with Li Luo.
Li Luo sighed in his heart, he knew that such things couldn't be rushed, he needed to follow his own rhythm step by step. If he wanted the complex relationship between the two to break through and change, then what he had to do first was to dissolve the engagement between them.
Only when the engagement is dissolved will Kang Qingwa's heart be freed from this complicated relationship and begin to truly consider the emotions of both parties.
Conquering Jiang Qing'ao, the task is heavy and the road is long.
"Still, congratulations are in order for your impressive results on this big exam." Jiang Qing'e said with a light smile, not noticing the turmoil of emotions within Li Luo.
"I guess I've perfectly completed the first step goal you set for me?" Li Luo said with a smile.
Jiang Qing'e nodded slightly and said, "It's beyond my expectations."
As for Li Luo being able to take the first place in the Tianxu County Grand Exam, she really hadn't expected it. After all, two months ago, Li Luo was just an empty phase, and he was able to catch up and surpass other students within these short two months, which shows his talent and hard work.
"Is there any benefit as a reward?" Li Luo asked.
Jiang Qing'e thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll reward you by having a spar with me."
Her lips curved slightly: "If you win, there really is a reward."
Li Luojin's face was gloomy, "Fighting with you is just asking for a beating, isn't it? If I could beat you, would I still be talking to you like this? Let me just press you under my leg and give you a good thrashing, and take back all the grievances I've suffered over the years."
"But what surprised me even more is that you actually turned the income of Luolan Prefecture in Tienshu County into the highest in history. These things were all told to me by Cai Wei, and the income of Tienshu County was all thanks to your contribution to Xiuyang House." Jiang Qing'e's pretty face showed some surprise.
"There's no way around it, if I don't get the income of Tian Shu County going, I'm afraid I won't even be able to support myself." Li Luo said helplessly.
"Cai Wei should have told you that I need a lot of Ling Shui Qi Guang, right? In these two months, I've consumed quite a bit."
Li Lu stretched out his palm, with a blue water-like energy gathering in the center of his palm. The pure and intense feeling emanating from this energy caused Jiang Qing'e's expression to change slightly.
"On that day at the old mansion, when you just solved the Void Phase problem, your affinity level didn't seem to be as high as it is now," she said.
Judging from the pure momentum emanating from Li Luo's palm, even Jiang Qing'e would believe that he possesses a Seventh-Grade Water Attribute.
But she clearly remembered that when Li Luo solved the problem of Kong Xiang, his appearance was far from this quality.
And now the result is probably due to the consumption of a large amount of spiritual water and strange light.
It was just that Li Luo was able to digest such a large amount of Ling Shui Qi Guang in just over two months, which made Jiang Qing'e slightly puzzled.
"Because of the reason of my later heaven's appearance, my appearance palace has a stronger ability to withstand miscellaneous impurities invasion than others, so I can use the spiritual water and strange light to upgrade the rank of my appearance without any scruples." Li Luo smiled, facing Jiang Qing'e, the only person he could trust unconditionally now, and didn't deliberately keep it secret.
"So it was."
Jiang Qing'e was somewhat surprised, it turned out that the after-birth physiognomy could have such benefits, no wonder Li Luo had improved so much in just two short months.
"My compatibility rank has now reached sixth grade, so from now on I will need a large amount of sixth-grade spiritual water and mysterious light. You know that the income of Luolan Prefecture in Tienshu County can no longer support me."
Li Luochong blinked at Jiang Qing'e and smiled: "So... Sister Qing'e, I'm asking to be kept."
Jiang Qing'e smiled lightly and didn't mind his teasing, saying: "How much sixth-grade spiritual water essence is needed to advance?"
"Conservatively estimated, it's probably around two hundred." Li Luo hastily said, indeed Qing'e sister can still hold on, Cai Wei sister is too weak, and can't withstand his exploitation.
"Two hundred tubes?"
Jiang Qing'e estimated that one branch of Liu Pin Ling Shui Qi Guang would cost around 300,000 gold coins. Two hundred branches would be... six million gold coins?
She shook her head and said, "Forget it, I can't afford to raise you. I'll have someone send you back to Nanfeng City instead."
Li Luomo was furious and scolded, "Jiang Qing'e, my Luo Lan Fu family is wealthy and influential, have you secretly squandered all our money? It's just a mere 6 million, how can it be that we can't even take it out?"
Jiang Qing glared at Li Luo with anger, saying: "What's the point of having a big family and business? This large mansion is leaking everywhere, I'm already busy patching up the leaks, our past savings have been dwindling away day by day over the years."
"There's also Pei Hang, who directly divided the three pavilions, controlling finance and personnel with an iron fist, almost as if he had taken over the three pavilions for himself. You heard it that day too, the three pavilions won't be sending any more tribute to headquarters, so do you think the Luolan Manor is still wealthy?"
Li Luo was somewhat disappointed. He had come to Dashacheng with high hopes, expecting to cause some trouble for the Luolan Fu headquarters, only to find that this place wasn't wealthy either?
What's the point of being the young master of this manor!
"Two hundred six-product spiritual water, it's definitely not possible to get them all at once. But don't worry, I'll procure them for you gradually, just need a bit more time." said Jiang Qing'e.
Li Luo let out a sigh, it could only be this way.
However, considering your great contribution to the Tianxu County in Xiyangwu, I plan to let you enter the headquarters of Xiyangwu to take charge. Pei Hao has been vying for control of the Xiyangwu headquarters. If you can grasp it afterwards and make it one of the top ten Ling Shui Qi Guang houses in Dashu, I think two hundred branches of Ling Shui Qi Guang should be a small problem. Jiang Qing'e clenched her delicate white hand and made a gesture of encouragement to Li Luo.
"That's quite a compliment." Li Luo said with an expressionless face.
Also turned Xi Yang House into a top ten Ling Shui Qi Guang House in the Xia Pai rankings... Jiang Qing'e, you ruthless goose.
Jiang Qing'e's absolutely beautiful face wore a smile, and then she listened to the gradually noisy sound outside the car. She opened the window, and through it, one could see that majestic and massive city emitting a sense of vicissitudes and heaviness.
Her golden pupils gazed at Li Luo, with his young and slightly immature face reflected in her eyes.
Then Jiang Qing'e stretched out her hand and covered Li Luo's hand, a cool and delicate touch came, like beautiful jade.
At the same time, her soft voice, amidst the hustle and bustle outside the car window, was like a clear and cold moonlight that entered one's heart, making one's mood gradually calm down.
"Li Luo, welcome to Dashaci."
"Besides, I'm really happy you could make it here."
Her lips curled up slightly, and the sharpness between her eyebrows dissipated a lot at this moment, it can be seen that she was indeed filled with joy in her heart.
The beauty's smile is also a sharp blade, especially Jiang Qing'e's smile, which is an extraordinary divine soldier, so Li Luo directly indulged in it.
Can't wait to draw his sword directly.
Sister Qing'e, who do you want to hack?
(I saw everyone's reaction to Jiang Qing'e's picture, it's still quite pretty, but it doesn't match the price I mentioned... actually, that price is for a series of pictures, not a single one, and this picture has been selected from many artists as the best value for money after so much searching. Don't compare with those high-quality game pictures, the prices are completely different, and can't even get an appointment?)
