Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

“I don’t often appear in public.” Jiang Yingluo naturally linked arms with Li Xingzhou. “Besides, you’re here. Your magic is as high as a ten-story building, so why would I be afraid of being discovered?”

“It’s not that low.” Li Xingzhou shook his head, cast the spell of cognitive impairment around Jiang Yingluo, and then looked around: “I was thinking if I could help you deal with some more scheming guys.”

"I'm here for a date with you," Jiang Yingluo said as she walked, "not to use you to lure the enemy out."

"I kind of want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, haha~" Li Xingzhou joked with a smile, but what he was really thinking was whether he could still get a glimpse of Aunt Luo's secret if her emotions fluctuated drastically.

Jiang Yingluo patted him: "We've already saved you, okay? Besides, can you concentrate? You've never been to a place like this before, have you?"

Li Xingzhou remained silent.

“So…” Jiang Yingluo said softly, “You should have some of the energy of a young person. Look at your aunt, who is so much older than you, she is quite interested in places like this.”

After saying that, she took Li Xingzhou's hand and led him forward before he could speak.

Just like in the morning, Jiang Xuetang took the initiative to bring him along.

Li Xingzhou smiled silently, adjusted his mindset, and took the initiative to hold Jiang Yingluo's warm and soft hand.

How did Jiang Xuetang take me to the amusement park this morning?

Li Xingzhou recalled that he had been playing with Jiang Yingluo in the same order as this morning, using the phrases that Jiang Xuetang had taught him.

Jiang Yingluo slowed her pace slightly, looking at Li Xingzhou's profile and thinking, "This is what young people should be like."

and……

Even though they've never been here before, they seem to have been planning it all along. This child has clearly been looking forward to it!

Even so, he kept saying not to treat him like a child, he's so stubborn!

Thinking about it, Jiang Yingluo teased, "Xingzhou, you seem to know this place quite well. Did you do some research beforehand?"

"Seeing that you're quite happy, Aunt Luo, I thought I'd take the initiative. Once I released my divine sense, how could I not be familiar with you?"

Li Xingzhou certainly wouldn't mention Jiang Xuetang; he couldn't very well say...

I've already rehearsed with your daughter once, haven't I?

Chapter 103: No Opportunity, Create Opportunity

As the sun sets, the amusement park gradually lights up with colorful lights.

The amusement park manager's office.

Lin Qin, Jiang Yingluo's secretary, sat in her office chair, staring at the amusement park on the screen with a hint of boredom.

She didn't come to secretly protect Jiang Yingluo, but to set off fireworks at the perfect time.

Although the amusement park could handle this small matter, it was best for President Jiang to keep an eye on things personally on this memorable day, the first time he had fallen in love.

Of course, it's definitely not for gossip!

I don't want to see what kind of shy expression President Jiang would have when she falls in love!

As Jiang Yingluo's personal driver and head of the bodyguard team, Lin Qin's younger sister, Lin Ge, stood by the window, looking at the bustling crowd below while receiving messages through her earpiece.

The bodyguards were all arranged in advance around the amusement park.

Lin Ge naturally knew there was no need to worry about President Jiang's safety, but if even the smallest matters required Mr. Li's personal attention, it would make Xingchen Group's security department seem like a bunch of useless people!

As a bodyguard, I certainly have to live up to the high salary that General Manager Jiang pays me.

Moreover, the United Government has already started targeting the Star Group. Just the night he returned from the Enlightenment Realm, someone was already sneaking up on the company. Now that President Jiang is out, I don't believe that some people won't take action.

Even with the magic of cognitive impairment, and even with the alteration of President Jiang's private car license plate, there's still a traitor within the group.

Moreover, the traitor has not yet been identified.

As Lin Ge was pondering this, she heard a voice through her earpiece: "Sister Lin, I've spotted the Vulture Claw Gang in the outer city."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ge perked up. There were many gangs in the outer city of Tianqi Island, and they were a mixed bag. Although there were many powerful cultivators, they could only act as lackeys for certain people in the inner and middle cities because of their status and bloodline.

Among them, the Eagle Claw Gang is a relatively large gang. Although it is uncertain whether they are targeting President Jiang, since they are dangerous elements, it is better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

On Tianqi Island, the lives of people from the outer city are like those of ants, easily trampled upon.

"Sister, I'm going out for a bit," Lin Ge said to Lin Qin. "I need to deal with some small fry."

"Hmm..." Lin Qin nodded: "Also, keep an eye on the security guards at the amusement park."

The amusement park is just a subsidiary of Xingchen Group. Although Lin Qin had gotten to know the employees there, she was still not familiar with them, so she wanted to be careful.

"understood."

……

Inside the amusement park, seeing Li Xingzhou leading her around on her own, Jiang Yingluo's personality returned to its original gentle and dignified state.

Watching Li Xingzhou walk into the beverage shop, Jiang Yingluo stood with her arms crossed under the streetlight outside the shop, in a good mood.

Although her feelings for Li Xingzhou initially stemmed from the exposure of her secret, she found the relationship quite pleasant after spending time together.

Even the most approachable saints she had ever met could not hide their inherent arrogance, especially those who had reached the saint realm at a young age.

Jiang Yingluo could understand the mindset of these saints, because it was indeed something to be proud of.

While she understands, Jiang Yingluo, who has also become a leading figure in the business world, also has her own pride. However, in the new era, cultivators are above all else, so Jiang Yingluo can only restrain her sharpness in front of these people.

But that's not necessary in front of Li Xingzhou.

Although she was wary of him at first, she no longer needed to be, which gave Jiang Yingluo an indescribable sense of comfort.

Jiang Yingluo was especially delighted by the fact that he listened to her and gradually got along with her.

An eighteen-year-old saint is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding geniuses in the world, but Li Xingzhou is willing to listen carefully to what he has to say.

and so……

Does this count as liking?

Jiang Yingluo wondered if she felt Li Xingzhou was different from others because he respected her and flattered her.

Do I like him, or do I like the saint who flatters me?

Jiang Yingluo pursed her red lips, a hint of confusion flashing in her peach blossom eyes.

Li Xingzhou must like me, otherwise, putting aside his family background and his abilities, what kind of woman couldn't he find?

But he had feelings for this older woman who had a daughter... What else could this be but liking someone?

Does that count as me?

As Jiang Yingluo analyzed her own feelings, a sudden chill on her cheek made her jolt up and raise her head.

"Aunt Luo, what are you thinking about?"

Li Xingzhou looked down at Jiang Yingluo under the streetlight. Her fine eyelashes, like fans, covered her eyelids, revealing a touch of gentle charm.

Her smooth, delicate skin was flawless, as white as milk. Most striking were her moist, deep red lips, their alluring color resembling cherries, making one yearn to kiss them.

Li Xingzhou was taller, so with Jiang Yingluo's arms crossed, it was easier to see how well-endowed she was.

The soil is fertile and surging.

Coming to her senses, Jiang Yingluo looked at the cup of warm black tea he handed her in his other hand and looked away in a fluster: "I was thinking... I was thinking... It's been many years since I last brought Xuetang to the amusement park."

As she spoke, she took the black tea from Li Xingzhou and sipped it.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingzhou's heart stirred, and he asked curiously, "Aunt Luo, Sister Tang's personality is completely different from yours."

When she took me shopping today, she was lively, outgoing, and seemed very natural and comfortable. Was she like this when she was little?

As Jiang Yingluo walked, she said, "Xuetang was very well-behaved when she was first born. She didn't cry or fuss, and she would often look at this and that, which saved me a lot of worry."

She started talking earlier than her peers, and she learned to stand earlier than her peers, and then... that's when I started getting a headache.

As she spoke, Jiang Yingluo's eyes softened as she recalled: "Xuetang was very mischievous when she was little, and she was interested in everything she saw. Not to mention anything else, just the number of times she dyed her hair is simply too many for me to count..."

As Jiang Yingluo slowly recounted her story, Li Xingzhou's impression of Jiang Xuetang became more and more complete.

He had a guess in his heart.

As she listened, Jiang Yingluo suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, you said before that Xue Tang was wary of your background. She didn't say anything unpleasant, did she?"

"No." Li Xingzhou shook his head: "Sister Tang has taken good care of me."

"That's good." Jiang Yingluo nodded, worried that Xuetang might dislike Xingzhou and thus affect Xingzhou's impression of her as his mother.

Ok?

Does having these thoughts mean I care about Li Xingzhou, and that I'm not actually approaching him with the expectation that he will respect me?

With this thought in mind, Jiang Yingluo tilted her head to look at Li Xingzhou, wondering if making him angry would reveal whether she liked him or not.

But how can I make him angry?

'I don't love you anymore?'

Eek~

Jiang Yingluo shivered. She couldn't bring herself to say those words; he might think she was acting strangely.

Are there any other solutions?

Never mind, I'll think about it as I walk.

Jiang Yingluo's gaze swept over the haunted house not far away, and then she asked, "Xingzhou, what else do you want to play?"

"Shall we go to a haunted house?" Li Xingzhou suggested, adhering to the principle of proximity. Come to think of it, he and Jiang Xuetang hadn't visited a haunted house that morning.

"I'm not going!" Jiang Yingluo shook her head immediately: "There's something fishy going on inside."

Li Xingzhou raised an eyebrow: "They specifically capture ghosts and put them in haunted houses?"

“Hmm.” Jiang Yingluo nodded: “Otherwise, the haunted house would be less exciting for cultivators, wouldn’t it?”

Moreover, the ghosts inside can be recycled due to the formation, so killing them is fine.

Li Xingzhou clicked his tongue, wondering how heavy the resentment of these ghosts must be.

Who knows, he might be thinking of giving me peanuts.

“Of course,” Jiang Yingluo added, “These ghosts were all heinous criminals in their lives, so throwing them into a haunted house is a kind of punishment.”
