32: Stunning Beauty

The woman looked back and smiled, then said, "Qing'er, let go! How can you be so rude to our distinguished guest!"

"Oh!"

"Young Master Li, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault for spoiling this girl."

Li Daoxuan cupped his hands and smiled, saying, "It's no trouble at all. I actually find Miss Qing'er to be very frank, lively, and adorable."

The white-clad masked woman instructed Qing'er, "Qing'er, go fetch the best Spiritual Tea I have in my collection to entertain Young Master Li."

"Alright!" The girl, Qing'er, made a face at Li Daoxuan and reluctantly went to make tea.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan asked curiously, "How should I address you, Miss?"

"Luo Qingcheng!"

A beauty that could topple cities, her name matched her perfectly! Li Daoxuan felt the name was very fitting.

Li Daoxuan's heart stirred. Luo! This surname was interesting.

It wasn't that the Luo surname was rare, but Luo City also had 'Luo' in its name. Was there some connection here?

Li Daoxuan stopped thinking further and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Luo, what do you need me for?"

"Guess!"

"Pfft! Cough, cough..." Li Daoxuan almost couldn't hold it in and nearly spat out a mouthful of old tea.

This young lady was dignified and elegant. Although her appearance couldn't be clearly seen, her eyes were very lively. She actually had such a mischievous side?

Good heavens! Since you like to joke, then don't blame me.

Li Daoxuan declared confidently, "I guess Miss Luo must have taken a liking to me and wants to become my Dao Companion!"

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough..."

This time, it was Luo Qingcheng who couldn't help but spray a mouthful of Spiritual Tea, half-wetting the veil covering her face, making her facial contours faintly visible.

Qing'er, who was beside her, glared at Li Daoxuan and quickly stepped forward to pat Luo Qingcheng's back.

Li Daoxuan stared at Luo Qingcheng's face with a serious and open gaze, unable to stop looking.

Luo Qingcheng's small face couldn't help but flush red. Fortunately, the veil covered her, otherwise she really would have... given Li Daoxuan a good beating.

The two exchanged a small joke, and the atmosphere changed, becoming less unfamiliar.

Li Daoxuan said seriously, "Miss Luo, you didn't manage to snatch it, did you?"

"Hmph!"

"Miss Luo, you summoned me. Could it be that you're interested in the weapons and Medicinal Pills I'm selling?"

Luo Qingcheng not only changed her veil but also dried it with spiritual energy, which greatly disappointed Li Daoxuan.

"Young Master Li guessed correctly!"

"Or rather, I'm more curious about Young Master Li himself!"

Li Daoxuan said nothing, listening quietly.

"This humble one has a question; I wonder if it's appropriate to ask?"

"Then don't ask!" Li Daoxuan said decisively.

Luo Qingcheng: "......"

Qing'er: "......"

The two girls exchanged glances, momentarily at a loss. She was just being polite, why did he directly refuse?

"Hahaha... Just kidding, Miss Luo, please ask."

Luo Qingcheng cautiously asked, "Are you an Alchemist?"

"Yes!"

"Are you an Artifact Refiner?"

"Also yes!"

"Are the Medicinal Pills and Spiritual Artifacts you sell refined by yourself?"

"All of them!"

Luo Qingcheng took a deep breath, her face calm, but her heart was once again in turmoil. Although she had already guessed, her heart was still very unsettled after her guess was confirmed.

Li Daoxuan did not hide it, nor did he need to.

To cooperate deeply with the Xuantian Business Alliance, how could he show his value without revealing some of his cards?

Seeing that Luo Qingcheng was no longer asking questions, Li Daoxuan casually added, "Actually, I'm also a small Formation Master!"

Luo Qingcheng: "......"

Luo Qingcheng was silent at first, but then two bright lights flashed in her eyes, and she made a major decision in her heart.

"Young Master Li is indeed a heaven-blessed genius; not only is his Cultivation talent high, but he is also multi-talented!"

"May I, this humble one, befriend Young Master Li?" Luo Qingcheng looked expectant, yet also afraid of rejection.

"Aren't we already friends? I generally don't joke with people who aren't my friends!"

"Hehehe~ Young Master Li is truly a very interesting person," Luo Qingcheng smiled happily, then added, "It is this humble one's honor to be able to become Young Master Li's friend!"

"Qingcheng, we are already friends, so don't call me Young Master Li anymore; it's too formal!"

"Li... Fellow Daoist Li is right!"

Luo Qingcheng's small face flushed again. This person was really interesting; he just met her and already called her Qingcheng. This was too intimate, wasn't it? Our relationship isn't that close yet, is it???

Li Daoxuan and Luo Qingcheng chatted happily, and the two slowly became familiar.

However, Qing'er, who was beside them, was guarding against Li Daoxuan like a thief, which was a bit of a damper on the mood.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're already a second-grade High Grade Artifact Refiner? Last time you came, weren't you still..."

"Hehe! Just a small Breakthrough, nothing worth mentioning!"

"Oh!"

Li Daoxuan dared not elaborate, mainly because it was a bit too astonishing.

"By the way, how do you ensure that both your Artifact Refining and Alchemy produce High Grade quality?"

"There's nothing else to it, just practice makes perfect! However, I don't guarantee every time is High Grade quality; it's mainly that those Medium Grade and Low Grade qualities are simply not presentable!"

Luo Qingcheng: "......"

Is that something a human would say?

However, Luo Qingcheng didn't pursue it further. Everyone has their own little secrets.

"Fellow Daoist Li, if you have any needs in the future, you can directly approach the Xuantian Business Alliance. The Xuantian Business Alliance still has some influence."

"Then I won't be polite!"

"......"

Time flew by, and before they knew it, night had fallen.

Although Cultivators don't necessarily rest at sunset, it's always inappropriate for a man and a woman to stay together alone.

Qing'er finally couldn't hold back and huffed, "Oh dear! Young Miss, it's getting late, shouldn't you be resting?"

Luo Qingcheng looked at Li Daoxuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, you see this..."

"Ah! It is getting late, what should I do?"

"Does Fellow Daoist Li have some difficulty?"

"Indeed, I'm a bit troubled. I'm unfamiliar with this place! I don't even have a place to stay, what should I do?"

Qing'er really wanted to hit him. Did he have to hint so obviously?

Luo Qingcheng took it seriously, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Qing, arrange a place for Fellow Daoist Li to stay, on the eighth floor!"

"Oh, Young Miss!"

"Go quickly!"

Qing'er glared at Li Daoxuan and reluctantly said, "Bad guy, let's go! Why are you still sitting there?"

Li Daoxuan stood up to leave, then suddenly said, "Um, Qingcheng, I have a question I'd like to ask you, I wonder if I can..."

Luo Qingcheng was a little nervous but still said, "Go ahead and ask! I don't guarantee I'll answer!"

Luo Qingcheng was truly a little afraid of Li Daoxuan now, so she left herself an escape route.

"I want to rent a shop in Luo City. Do you know the way?"

Luo Qingcheng and Xiao Qing were stunned, then Xiao Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha... You've asked the right person for this."

"Do you know why Luo City is called..."
