Chapter 231: She Likes You

“Alright, I lose. Lu Li, you are better than me at this.”
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Bai Qiuxue put down her piece and spoke bitterly. She looked at Lu Li, who remained very calm. All of a sudden, she felt she couldn’t see through him.
“Wow!”
Bai Xiashuang’s eyes were wide open, as if she never saw Lu Li before. She walked around Lu Li for a bit and said with surprise, “Lu Li, you are an enigma. You know how to play dumb. It is amazing that you can beat my sister.”
Lu Li felt baffled as he touched his own eyebrows. He didn’t think it was an extraordinary thing to beat Bai Qiuxue because he didn’t think her skills were that good. She was worse than him.
He had always believed that he was bad at the game of go. After all, with all those years of playing with Lu Ling, never did he win once. If he was bad at this, then Bai Qiuxue must be worse. Was it so shocking that he could win?
Bai Xiashuang saw Lu Li’s confused expressions and explained, “Lu Li, do you know how good my sister is? Of the entire Thousand-island Lake, my sister is only second to our forefather. She is the well-acknowledged No. 2 of the Thousand-island Lake. My Grandpa Xi and our auntie are not as good as my sister. Now you can take her place. If you can beat our forefather, you will be the best.”
“Oh…”
Lu Li still didn’t feel special. Instead, he felt people of the Thousand-island Lake were all bad at this. He could be the second best with his abilities?
Bai Qiuxue cared not for this. She asked with curiosity, “Lu Li, who did you learn from? Who taught you this?”
Lu Li honestly answered, “My sister had taught me. I am really bad at this. Never for once did I beat her since I was little. I don’t think I will be a worthy match for my sister… even if I am 10 times better than I am now!”
“Um…”
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were moved. It didn’t seem like Lu Li was overstating this as his words were very honest. So Lu Li’s sister’s skills were superb? So he could be better than the Old Man of Heaven Prison? He had been playing the game of go for more than 1000 years, and he even perceived some Profound Meaning from go. As far as Bai Qiuxue knew, the Old Man of Heaven Prison was the best at go of the Thousand-island Lake.
Bai Qiuxue said with excitement, “Lu Li, where is your sister? If your sister is really that good, I will ask somebody to invite her here. I think our forefather will take her in as a protégé and pass all his skills to her.”
The light in Lu Li’s eyes died down. He looked very gloomy. With a sigh, he said, “You cannot do that. She is not at the Northern Desert. She was taken to the Cyan Plains.”
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang looked at each other, remembering something. The two had read some information about Lu Li which they recalled now. Lu Li’s sister should be of the Fire Phoenix Birth, and she was taken by someone of the Palace of Goddess. The Yu Family was humiliated by this.
“Lu Li, I am sorry!”
Bai Qiuxue said apologetically. Lu Li waved his hand, looked to the southeast but said nothing. Light flickered in his eyes and he looked very determined. In a gentle voice, he said, “It’s okay. I will get my sister back. If the Palace of Goddess dares to stop me, I will ravage their place to the ground. I will kill anyone in my way, be it some god or deity!”
Bai Qiuxue looked at Lu Li’s sparkling eyes; after listening to his words of determination, something in her heart was moved. Suddenly, she felt envious of his sister.
She looked towards the same direction and said in a delicate voice, “Lu Li, your sister must be an amazing lady.”
“Yes!”
Lu Li nodded and replied, “In my heart, she is the most perfect lady in the world. She is very beautiful, as pretty as you. She has a mild temper. She never goes mad. Even if the enemies are in front of her, she can still smile. She is resourceful, and she must be the wisest lady I have ever met.”
“She had suffered a lot since she was young and went through many pain. But she never cries, not even one drop of tear. She was once almost being raped. In the end, she had to cut off three pieces of flesh off her thigh in order to scare those three bastards away. Without any abilities to fight back, she survived in the mountains for several days and crawled her way out. When she got back, she said nothing. Instead, she smiled at me, comforted me… I owe her too much. I swear that when I find her, I will never let her suffer again. Anybody who dares to bully her must kill me first…”
“What…”
The twins were moved. They could see a breathtakingly beautiful lady in their mind, as if she was standing there and smiling to them. The twins were sparkling pears and they were very ambitious. At this moment, though, they felt they were inferior to Lu Ling.
“She must be an unsurpassed beautiful woman of a generation!”
Bai Qiuxue secretly exclaimed. Then she looked at Lu Li. Veins were popping out on his face, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes. One of his hand was clenched into a fist. Once again, she was touched.
Man shall not shed tears easily!
A man like Lu Li that had risen from the grass-root family and had went through so many suffering would not cry easily. He was not one of the delicate young masters that would shed tears for the changes of seasons.
But this man of determination was crying for his sister. It was a proof that Lu Li was a man and he really could sacrifice everything for Lu Ling.
Bai Qiuxue felt envious of Lu Ling again. Lu Ling, away at the Cyan Plains, must feel so warm-hearted with a younger brother like Lu Li. Bai Qiuxue could see why Lu Li was so excellent since he had such an amazing sister.
Bai Qiuxue said nothing more. Lu Li kept silent. Bai Xiashuang was impacted by this atmosphere and she lowered her head without saying anything.
“Swish~”
After the time for one incense stick to burn, a man ran over from the distance. The three were alarmed. Lu Li had regained his composure. He gave Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang an apologetic look but said nothing.
The person was Liu Yi. She saluted to Lu Li first then to Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang and told them, “Ladies, Chief Steward Bai is here. He has brought Madam Yan’s orders. She… asked have you had enough fun? Why are you still here?”
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang looked agonized. So it seemed that they really should be going back. Otherwise, Madam Yan would be really angry. Bai Qiuxue stood up and said, “Lu Li, thank you very much for entertaining us. We should be going back now.”
“Okay!” Lu Li nodded and said, “I will see you out.”
Lu Li’s quick words made Bai Qiuxue feel awful. She glanced over to him, wondering if Lu Li really felt nothing close to reluctance. Did he wish that they were gone earlier? Or Lu Li just felt nothing because the twins were not charming enough?
With this thought on her mind, Bai Qiuxue stood up and walked to the Blood Evil Island with Bai Xiashuang and the Patriarch of the Bai Family. Nothing came out of her mouth along the way.
Lu Li talked to her, but Bai Qiuxue didn’t respond, which was agonizing to Lu Li. Women’s hearts had an ocean of secrets. She was fine just a moment ago…
At the dock, Bai Qiuxue asked Bai Xiashuang to take out her violet gold chariot. The twins and the Patriarch of the Bai Family hopped on.
Bai Qiuxue nodded to Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven who were here to bid them farewell. After that, she finally opened her mouth, “Lu Li, I don’t think the Yu Family is ready to let it go. If you are not busy, you can go to the Heaven Prison City to live and cultivate. At least, it will be safer over there.”
“Okay!” Lu Li nodded and said, “I will think about it. Take care, Lady Qiuxue, Lady Xiashuang.”
So close to being apart but Lu Li still showed no emotion. Bai Qiuxue put on an indifferent expression. She controlled the chariot to fly away without uttering another single word.
Lu Li touched his head, looking at the chariot flying away into the distance. He murmured with confusion, “What is wrong with Bai Qiuxue? She is not like this…”
Liu Yi had saw everything Bai Qiuxue had done. She thought about it and whispered to Lu Li, “Island Owner, Lady Qiuxue probably… likes you.”
