"Row."
Zuo Jingyu was already at a loss when she heard this, because she felt that the conversation between Zuo Le and Lu Chaoxi was getting more and more strange.
From the conversation that had just begun, she had already discerned that the two knew each other.
But now it seems that their relationship is more than just acquaintances.
Some of the content has reached the point where she needs to avoid it!
Zuo Jingyu bit her lip, feeling very uncomfortable, but with her brother on one side and her respected senior sister on the other, she knew she couldn't act shamelessly at this moment.
So even if she was incredibly jealous, she could only pout and pretend to be understanding with a pitiful expression.
"You guys chat, I'll go check on their training over there..."
Seeing Zuo Jingyu leave on her own initiative, Lu Chaoxi nodded with great satisfaction and couldn't help but praise Zuo Le:
"Your sister is so sensible."
Zuo Le's lips twitched upon hearing this, thinking to herself: She's just pretending to be sensible in front of you; I wonder how she'll torment me when we get back.
"Let's get down to business."
"What did Tu Qi ask you to do?" Lu Chaoxi asked directly.
What did Tu Qi do? Zuo Le thought for a moment.
Temptation, appeasement, sympathy?
And... take a look at Xiao Zuo Le?
Can I talk about these things?
They definitely couldn't say a single thing; they could only lie.
"I just met her on the street, but I felt a lot of pressure in front of her, so I wanted to ask you, what kind of person is Tu Qi?"
Lu Chaoxi didn't answer immediately. Instead, she habitually offered Zuo Le a cigarette first, then crushed the empty cigarette pack in her hand and casually threw it into the trash can.
"Tuqi was very..."
Lu Chaoxi paused, whether in recollection or organizing her thoughts, it was unclear.
"She was very cute and kind when she was little, and she was also very shy. When others praised her for being pretty, she would blush and lower her head."
Upon hearing this first sentence, Zuo Le couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Kind? Cute? Shy?
He felt that a girl with the above qualities would not do something like barging into the toilet early in the morning and looking at Xiao Zuole.
"and then?"
Seeing the disbelief in Zuo Le's tone, Lu Chaoxi was also unsure how to explain:
"I'm telling the truth, Tuqi used to be very shy and kind."
She would use her pocket money to give pancakes to beggars on the outer ring road, help children in orphanages learn to read, and even leave a bite of food for stray dogs on the roadside.
I was really annoyed by her behavior back then. I thought she was too 'good,' so good she was almost foolish. Anyone could take something from her, and she didn't seem to care.
Zuo Le interrupted when he heard this:
Does she visit the orphanage often?
"You go there often, what's wrong?"
Zuo Le was adopted by Zuo Zhengming when he was a child, and he learned to read and write in the orphanage during his childhood, but he has no memory of Tu Qi.
"It's nothing, please continue."
"Later, the Jingkonghai incident broke out, and Tuqi killed her senior sister with her own hands. After that, she changed. I feel like I don't understand her at all anymore, and I don't know what she's thinking..."
Zuo Le knew that the Jing Kong Hai incident had been classified as an internal rebellion within the church, which occurred about two years ago, and he didn't want to ask any more questions about the incident.
Even if there's something inside the story about this, it's not something someone like him could get involved in.
He was more interested in learning about Tuchi herself than about the internal affairs of the church.
Especially her abilities.
In Zuo Le's opinion, Tu Qi's abilities are extremely powerful, so how did Lu Chaoxi manage to resist them?
"Are you familiar with Tu Qi's abilities? I met her yesterday, and after just a few words, I felt myself falling under her spell. Even thinking became very difficult. How did you manage to defend yourself?"
Zuo Le didn't explain the situation too clearly because he wasn't sure about the specific relationship between Lu Chaoxi and Tu Qi.
Even though the sisters have fallen out, Tu Qi is still Lu Chaoxi's brother's fiancée.
She's someone's future sister-in-law.
I'm nobody, so I definitely can't reveal too much.
Upon hearing Zuo Le mention Tu Qi's abilities, Lu Chaoxi frowned even more.
"I can't describe Tuqi's abilities either. In short, I can sense that she's lying, but my brother can't sense it at all."
He was usually quite shrewd and capable, but after meeting Tu Qi, he seemed to lose his mind and became completely brainless.
He believes everything Tuqi says, and I don't know how to tell my brother.
And it wasn't just my brother; everyone in our family trusted her...
However, they have a marriage pact, and they'll be husband and wife sooner or later. Even if I sense something's wrong with Tuqi, I can't possibly speak ill of my future sister-in-law.
Hearing this, Zuo Le was certain that Lu Chaoxi had no specific understanding of Tu Qi's abilities.
It's just a vague perception or inference made through the situations of other people.
Her entire family was affected; her brother's reaction was almost identical to hers, and he showed no signs of breaking free for several years, making him far more miserable than she was.
Lu Chaoxi himself was the only exception.
This led Zuo Le to make several inferences about Tu Qi's abilities.
First, regardless of Lu Chaoxi's brother's specific strength, there must be someone in their family who is stronger than Lu Chaoxi.
Therefore, Tuqi's abilities are most likely unrelated to strength, or are less affected by strength.
Secondly, Lu Chaoxi and Tu Qi are acquainted, and the contrast that comes with familiarity and understanding may help to break through that allure.
Third, and most cruelly, deduction…
Tu Qi didn't lay a hand on Lu Chaoxi at all; she deliberately or intentionally prevented Lu Chaoxi from being bewitched.
Perhaps it's out of nostalgia for childhood memories, or perhaps it's to leave a mark on one's past self.
In short, if Tu Qi really did not intentionally deceive Lu Chaoxi, then this woman is terrifying.
"Zuo Le, you still haven't told me what Tu Qi wanted to see you about?"
Upon hearing Lu Chaoxi's question, Zuo Le immediately started spouting nonsense:
"Haha, I don't know why Tuqi came to see me, but I feel a lot of pressure from her, and I'm a little apprehensive."
Lu Chaoxi frowned. Although she sensed that Zuo Le wasn't sincere, she still offered a reminder:
"As one of the candidates for saintess, Tuqi also needs to build up her guard team on a regular basis."
Although most of the selections will be made within the He Guang Church, some will be specially recruited from the Martial Arts Academy or other departments.
For an ordinary person, becoming a saint's guard is naturally a good thing, but if you feel pressured, you can refuse.
Zuo Le nodded, looking very grateful.
"If that's the case, then I really should think about it. Thanks, I'm just an outsider and I don't know anything. If you hadn't told me all this, I wouldn't even be able to eat shit while it's still hot."
Lu Chaoxi's lips twitched upon hearing this:
"Zuo Le, has anyone ever told you that you look really fake when you lie?"
"Really?" Zuo Le was taken aback.
"If you really want to thank me, how about we go out for a meal?" Lu Chaoxi pointed in the direction outside the school.
Zuo Le immediately gave a dry laugh:
"No, no, my sister is waiting for me. Maybe next time, another day. I'll definitely treat you to a meal another day."
Lu Chaoxi didn't want to talk to him anymore. When was "another day"? When was "next time"?
How many times has Zuo Le rejected her already?
"Okay, I'll wait."
After saying goodbye to Lu Chaoxi, Zuo Le found his younger sister kicking stones with her head down by the martial arts academy's training ground.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Zuo Le was actually able to sense her sister's thoughts; after all, feelings of affection don't lie.
But he's not quite sure how to handle his relationship with Zuo Jingyu right now.
"Brother, are you and Senior Sister Lu very familiar with each other?"
"We wouldn't say we're very close, we've only met a few times. What's wrong?"
"Senior Sister Lu is a very capable person, and I have always admired her."
"Oh, you should have said so earlier." Zuo Le patted his thigh with some regret.
Chapter 70 She did it on purpose
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Zuo Jingyu asked, somewhat bewildered.
"If you had said you admired her earlier, I would have found a way to have her take you on a cultivation journey." Zuo Le said with a hint of regret.
"How could such a thing be possible?"
"This woman isn't very bright."
"Zuo Le, my senior sister has been very kind to me. Can you please stop badmouthing her in front of me?"
Seeing Zuo Jingyu's dissatisfied expression, Zuo Le simply shrugged.
There was nothing he could do; he genuinely felt that Lu Chaoxi wasn't very bright. She might have some knowledge of martial arts and combat, but she always gave him a very obvious sense of slowness.
Perhaps it's related to her "slow" or "slow" nature?
However, since her younger sister liked her, Zuo Le simply changed the subject:
When do you plan to go back?
"Didn't you say you'd spend the afternoon with me?"
"When did I say I would accompany you?"
"How about we go sit in your dorm?" Zuo Jingyu suggested.
She had indeed been thinking about Zuo Le's dormitory, because Zuo Le's conflicted expression earlier made Zuo Jingyu feel that there must be a secret in his dormitory.
She wouldn't be satisfied without taking a look!
If she encounters a bad woman who tries to seduce her brother, she can decisively take action and deter her with thunderous force!
This is Zuo Jingyu's idea.
Zuo Le didn't think too much about it, but she was worried that if Tu Qi didn't leave, Zuo Jingyu might run into trouble on her own.
However, it should be fine for her to go with me now. If it really doesn't work out, I can just take her home.
"Okay, then come sit in my dorm."
"yeah!"
Having received Zuo Le's consent, Zuo Jingyu jumped up excitedly.
The two chatted all the way to room 506 in the teaching assistant building. When Zuo Le took the key from the window, he listened to the room.
The lack of verbal feedback relieved him slightly.
"We should go now."
As soon as she opened the door, Zuo Jingyu dashed inside, kicked off her shoes, and pounced onto Zuo Le's bed.
He picked up Zuo Le's pillow and took a deep breath.
