Sponsored Content
Bai Luochu removed the bandage on Pei Qingfeng’s body and realized that a scab was already forming .
“Eh?” Bai Luochu was rather doubtful . “You are recovering rather quickly . If someone takes Lu Wenshu’s attack, he probably won’t be able to recover without half a month in bed . You’re pretty good . ”
Bai Luochu wasn’t lying . In her previous life, she got together with Lu Wenshu not just because of his gentle and understanding personality . It was also because he was an abnormal talent when it came to cultivation . Furthermore, he had exquisite moves and brilliant movement skills . In Bai Luochu’s opinion, only a person like him was worthy enough to walk alongside her .
Bai Luochu continued to change the bandage and she didn’t raise her head . She couldn’t see the curiosity on Pei Qingfeng’s face . In the next moment, his question came .

“Are you very familiar with Lu Wenshu?” Pei Qingfeng’s eyes narrowed but a light flashed through them .
Bai Luochu could feel the burning gaze and felt that there was a blade stuck to her back . She was really too muddle-headed . She revealed such a huge flaw in front of this old fox! With how shrewd Pei Qingfeng was, she didn’t know how to throw him off .
At this moment, Bai Luochu’s mind was spinning as she thought of an excuse .
“Why aren’t you talking?” When Pei Qingfeng noticed that Bai Luochu wasn’t talking, he became even more suspicious .
Bai Luochu’s hands paused for a moment when she heard the question and immediately explained herself, “If I speak of the reason, I’m afraid Your Second Highness will laugh at me . ” After responding, Bai Luochu continued to bandage his wounds .

Pei Qingfeng was curious and he continued to press her for the reason . “Just say it . We know so many secrets about each other and there is no need to pretend that I am an outsider . If I laugh, I’m not a gentleman . ”
Pei Qingfeng cut off all the routes of retreat Bai Luochu had . He wouldn’t let the matter go unless she gave him a satisfactory answer .
“Since Your Second Highness has already spoken, I will be unreasonable if I still continue to avoid the topic . Your Second Highness better listen carefully . Don’t laugh at me for overestimating myself . ” Bai Luochu was done with the bandages and she raised her head to stare into Pei Qingfeng’s eyes .
“Your Second Highness should know that I have innately crippled meridians and cannot cultivate . I am like an ugly woman who will admire and revere beauties on the street . I’m like a poor but upright scholar dreaming about promotion to a high official position . As someone who cannot cultivate, I admire those who can . I admire cultivation prodigies even more . ”
Bai Luochu was being honest . After she returned to the general’s residence, she realized that even though Luo Chu was unable to cultivate, there were many books in her room . They consisted of inner techniques and movement skills . Although some of them had errors, it was still able to reflect Luo Chu’s desire to cultivate . The thing that made Bai Luochu most surprised was a book in the corner called《The World List of Outstanding Prodigies》 . All the prodigies in the words were listed in the book and Lu Wenshu was one of them . Bai Luochu understood that Luo Chu was truly feeling regretful because she couldn’t cultivate . Hence, she had been searching for secret manuals to work towards her cultivation idols .

It was a pity that Luo Chu wasn’t able to open up her meridians and start cultivating . Because of this, Bai Luochu felt pity towards Luo Chu . After flipping through the books, Bai Luochu realized that her name was also recorded in this 《The World List of Outstanding Prodigies . After striking off the original comments in the book, she added her own comments with a hairpin .
“She may be on the path of evil dao, but her heart is benevolent . Her cultivation is profound and she is extremely knowledgeable . She should be the example all women strive for . ” Those were Luo Chu’s words .
It seemed like Bai Luochu was brought together with Luo Chu by fate . Luo Chu had treated Bai Luochu as a role model and Bai Luochu took over her body . This way, Bai Luochu managed to somehow fulfill Luo Chu’s wish . There would be a day when Bai Luochu would spread Luo Chu’s name throughout the world .
“Oh? It seems like you know a lot about Lu Wenshu?” When Pei Qingfeng listened to Bai Luochu’s excuse, he was still skeptical about it .
Bai Luochu wasn’t as nervous as before . She explained, “Your Second Highness doesn’t know this . If I admire a person, I will find out everything about them . Normally, I will visit tea houses and listen to the stories . I heard about Lu Wenshu’s past achievements and can even memorize them . Lu Wenshu is an incredible being in my mind which is why I said what I said . ”
Bai Luochu revealed a look of reverence when she spoke about Lu Wenshu . Pei Qingfeng wasn’t pleased and immediately chided, “Enough, keep your smitten expression to yourself . You are a lady, how can you be so shameless and express your admiration for a man in front of another man?”
Bai Luochu immediately withdrew her expression when she heard Pei Qingfeng’s words . After all, it was to convince Pei Qingfeng . It seemed like it worked .
Pei Qingfeng was silent for a second before he felt that life was too boring . He thought of another topic and started talking again . “Before you met me, did you do any research on me?”
Pei Qingfeng thought that he was speaking to a young lass . Even if she didn’t admire him, he was still an accomplished and outstanding prince . Since she grew up in the capital city, it was impossible for her not to know anything about him .
When he thought about his reputation, Pei Qingfeng’s eyes were filled with expectation . He hoped that she would say yes .
