Chapter 6: Ice Soul Profound Body
“Do you really not want this Fire Luo Sacred Fruit?”
Luo Yueguan’s gaze returned to Jiang Huai.
She had some old grudges with Chu Xianning. After the event five hundred years ago, she had tried to mend their relationship. The battle of Moluo City that day was never forced upon any cultivator. Chu Xianning said she didn’t blame her, but whenever Luo Yueguan saw Chu Xianning’s eyes, she always felt disdain.
Chu Xianning looked down on her, she knew.
Over the years, Chu Xianning had always been indifferent to her. Luo Yueguan had often been the one making overtures, gradually harboring resentment. But three years ago, when Chu Xianning proposed the marriage, she hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Only Chu Xianning could make her agree so readily. If it were anyone else, no matter how talented or formidable, it would be impossible for them to become Luo Yueguan’s son-in-law. But now that Jiang Huai had lost his cultivation, if he were to become her daughter’s Dao companion in the future, it would be a burden. Her daughter was still young and naive, and she, as a mother, could not be naive as well.
But Luo Yueguan had no ill feelings toward Jiang Huai.
Initially, she was somewhat reluctant about the marriage, but after seeing Jiang Huai interact with her daughter for a while, her daughter’s usually cold eyes had more life, and her face had more radiant smiles. Luo Yueguan was very relieved, and even the frequency of her heart demon’s attacks had decreased.
She knew that Jiang Huai truly cared for her daughter, so she dared not wait for Luo Qingyu to come out of seclusion before annulling the marriage. By then, Luo Qingyu would definitely not agree. Now, if she annulled the marriage first and then coaxed her precious daughter later, perhaps in a few years, her daughter would gradually forget Jiang Huai.
Although she felt somewhat sorry for Jiang Huai, her offering of the Fire Luo Sacred Fruit was an act of utmost benevolence and righteousness, especially considering that Chu Xianning didn’t even have half of the betrothal gifts initially. That woman has always been detached from worldly concerns, how could she understand any rules or propriety?
Facing Luo Yueguan’s question, Jiang Huai gently shook his head, “No need, thank you for your kind offer, Sect Master Luo, but I have something that I would like you to pass on for me.”
