Chapter 774 Decision
Qu Shu and You Shen are naturally different. Whether it's the bond they formed fighting together in the lower realm, or her habit of subconsciously asking Qu Shu about things during major events.

Even without memories of her previous life, Lin Zhao would inexplicably believe that Qu Shu would not harm her after the battle on the Tianhuang Continent.

This may be related to the ancient phoenix luck on Qu Shu, or it may be related to the deep karma they were involved in during this period.

Lin Zhao was certain that she didn't have romantic feelings for Qu Shu as You Shen did now. If she had to say, Lin Zhao only had such feelings for Su Bai. However, because of Mu Mu, she had developed some special feelings for Ning Wengui.

But that feeling can be summarized as affection for the child's father, and it cannot be considered a natural romantic relationship between a man and a woman.

The same applies to Qu Shu.

Lin Zhao always kept the feelings from her past life very separate from her current feelings; those feelings were not created by her in the present.

But she would unconditionally trust Qu Shu because of this.

Therefore, she naturally wouldn't choose such a subtle way to reject Qu Shu. She would directly mock him and ridicule him mercilessly. She believed that Qu Shu could handle it.

But You Shen...

Lin Zhao scratched his head: "Even if it wasn't rejected like that, I would still refuse. Su Bai and I are already Daoist partners, you know? Ning Wengui and I also have a daughter..."

When she said the last sentence, Lin Zhao's voice was somewhat dry.

Heaven have mercy, in this life she only had one relationship with Su Bai from beginning to end, but now it's all tangled up and she even has a daughter?

Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask herself what she had done.

You Shen stared intently at her with his amber eyes: "I know all that you're saying. I just regret not being there for you when you were conquering all corners of the world."

He could figure out exactly when Lin Zhao and Su Bai developed feelings for each other.

That is, when she was fighting against the evil thoughts from another world, Su Bai was always by her side.

Lin Zhao is too stubborn and inflexible. She firmly believes that companionship is the key to lasting love, so she will not let Su Bai down. Once Su Bai and she have made a commitment, Lin Zhao will not give up unless the other party speaks up.

Therefore, You Shen is equally confident that if he had been by Lin Zhao's side back then, the outcome today would be different.

Lin Zhao was speechless after hearing You Shen's words; she felt awkward no matter what she said. So she drank another cup of tea to ease her tension and numb mind.

Well, she's not good at handling these kinds of things. Rather than letting her deal with these things, it would be more satisfying to let her fight three hundred battles against the evil thoughts from another world.

As Lin Zhao was struggling to find the right words, the door was pushed open, and a young man with silver eyes and black hair, dressed in white, appeared. His phoenix eyes were cold and clear, and his gaze fell on You Shen with an almost imperceptible chill.

"Young Master You Shen, I have something to discuss with you."

Lin Zhao jumped up as if her backside was on fire: "Then you guys talk, I'll be going now."

Seeing Lin Zhao disappear in the next moment, You Shen wanted to say something, but met a pair of silver eyes that were almost devoid of any emotion.

Are you making things difficult for her?

You Shen felt a soft yet extremely oppressive aura emanating from the young man, making it difficult for even a powerful expert nearing the Immortal King realm to breathe.

"you……"

How can a Heavenly Phoenix possess such cultivation and suppressive power at such a young age?
Qu Shu casually waved his hand, and the door closed. He sat in the seat where Lin Zhao had been, poured himself some water from the teacup Lin Zhao had used, and took a sip.

Looking at his perfectly natural series of actions, You Shen was unsure whether he should stop him.

This person, whose relationship with Lin Zhao was even less intimate than his own, still had a sense that he could control everything, including Lin Zhao's attitude towards him. "You shouldn't be saying these things to Lin Zhao at this time. You know she's a stubborn person. If it weren't for Lin Mu, who was petrified by the progenitor, she would never have given Ning Wengui a second glance in her life. Her purple eyes and glass body are no less powerful than your ancient dragon bloodline."

In other words, don't try to exchange your current advantages for anything; Lin Zhao has never cared about status.

You Shen was speechless for a long time before saying, "You know my personality; I will definitely say what I want to say."

Qu Shu raised an eyebrow: "Otherwise, why do you think I would come here?"

You Shen was surprised. After carefully considering Qu Shu's words, he asked in shock, "So you're planning to help me?"

Qu Shu nodded: "Why not? You don't mind being a concubine."

His use of the word "little" was quite meaningful.

You Shen didn't think anything of it: "My dad told me that it's only those who aren't liked who are considered inferior. As long as I work hard, I won't be considered inferior."

Qu Shu: "...Did your father himself get liked?"

Youshen: "..."

Qu Shu stopped rubbing salt in his wounds and softened her tone: "But if you really succeed, it doesn't matter how big or small the achievement is. Su Bai only cares whether Lin Zhao likes him or not, Ning Wengui only wants Lin Zhao's company, but you are different from them. You are just..."

You Shen interrupted him: "That's enough."

He looked at Qu Shu with a newfound sense of awe.

"And you? You understand us so well, and what about you?"

Qu Shu smiled slightly and said, "Theoretically speaking, I am more suitable for her than any of you, but that is only theoretical. I have calculated many things, but the word 'love' is the one whose fate cannot be calculated. I do not want to put myself on something whose fate cannot be calculated."

The risk he took to descend to the mortal realm to see her was the most adventurous thing Qu Shu had ever done. Fortunately, it was fruitful, and Lin Zhao did indeed grant his every request, just as he had expected.

But the more this happened, the more Qu Shu felt that something was about to get out of control.

He was a man who liked to act decisively, but when it came to Lin Zhao, he became hesitant and timid, unlike his usual self. However, upon closer examination, it wasn't a big deal. So, he broke off his engagement with Lin Zhao, laid his schemes out in the open, and let Lin Zhao know his purpose and ambition, thus completely severing any possibility between them.

He could manipulate Lin Zhao's feelings for him, but the risk was too great and unnecessary.

"To make it up to her, I will give her the best thing in the world that I can think of."

The love of the Demon Ancestor, the admiration of the Purple-Eyed Glass Body, the approval of the most orthodox young master of the Ancient Dragon Clan, or perhaps... the protection of the Ancestral Dragon's soul.

He will try to make things happen as long as there is room for him to intervene.

He wanted Lin Zhao to remain forever in the clouds, like the brightest sun and moon in the world.

"I can calculate your fate," Qu Shu said. "You and she do have some connection, but based on what you just did, you'll only destroy that connection right here. If you do as I say, perhaps you'll have a chance. What do you choose?"

Youshen: "..."

Qu Shu: The composure of the empress (not really).

But I do prefer the kind of love that lasts the longest, like a confession of love and a gentle, unpretentious romance.

Supporting her lofty ambitions and hoping she sits atop the clouds is more effective than saying "I give you my love and my heart."
