53: Can you stay for me?

Three days passed in a flash, and Luo Qingcheng was preparing to leave.

For her, these three days had been quite enjoyable, and she had become good friends with Qing Xuan and Xuan Yue.

“Sisters, I’m going back!”

Li Daoxuan frowned, not saying a word, his thoughts unknown.

Qing Xuan, Xuan Yue, Zi Ling, and Qing Huang all wanted to persuade Luo Qingcheng to stay, but they didn’t know how to speak up.

So, the four of them simultaneously looked at Li Daoxuan, and seeing his dazed expression, Qing Xuan couldn’t help but say, “Senior Brother, say something!”

“If you don’t speak, Sister Qingcheng will leave and never return!”

Li Daoxuan raised his head and said with a firm gaze, “Qingcheng, must you go?”

“Can you stay for me!”

Li Daoxuan knew that Luo Qingcheng’s identity was not simple, and he also knew that she had encountered great difficulties, and he finally understood why Luo Qingcheng was in a hurry to leave.

She probably didn’t want to bring disaster upon him.

However, was Li Daoxuan afraid?

Su Youruo had not yet been found, and the trouble Su Youruo encountered had not yet been resolved, so he didn’t care about attracting more trouble.

Luo Qingcheng’s heart trembled; how much she wanted to say yes! But she couldn’t!

She had her mission and was even more unwilling to bring a devastating disaster upon Li Daoxuan.

Luo Qingcheng’s eyes darted away as she said, “I… I can’t stay!”

Li Daoxuan’s eyes lit up, and he said, “You mean you *can’t* stay, not that you *don’t want* to stay.”

Qing Huang said, “You woman are just being coy. Say what you mean! If you don’t say it, how can we help you?”

Xuan Yue also urged, “Qingcheng, have you encountered some difficulty?”

Li Daoxuan: “Tell us, we all support you and will help you!”

Luo Qingcheng felt it was better to speak; keeping it bottled up was also unpleasant.

“Actually, I came to Luo City this time because I ran away from a marriage!”

“Oh my! How exciting! I didn’t realize a Young Miss like you had such courage?” Qing Huang’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she couldn’t help but tease her a bit.

The others also brightened up, very interested!

Luo Qingcheng continued, “I am the Young Miss of the Luo Family. By the way, the Xuantian Business Alliance was established by the Luo Family.”

“The Xuantian Business Alliance is almost the number one business alliance in the world. It is not only spread across various Dynasties, but its influence is also found throughout the entire cultivation world.”

“However, our Luo Family also has a huge hidden danger, which is the lack of top-tier powerhouses to guard it.”

“Therefore, many powerful Sects and cultivation forces want to target the Xuantian Business Alliance.”

“For the future of the Family, we can only resort to marriage alliances.”

Li Daoxuan said speechlessly, “Another marriage alliance? Cultivation forces also like marriage alliances?”

Li Daoxuan was too sensitive about marriage alliances; Qing Xuan had almost gone down that path herself, but it was suppressed in the end.

Li Daoxuan still felt that he was not strong enough and had to speed up. There wereJust right suitable candidates right in front of him.

Not a single one could be let go!

They all had to stay and bear his children!

“The elders in my Family found a powerful Hidden Sect and wanted to form a marriage alliance.”

“But I don’t want to accept my fate; I don’t want to be at the mercy of destiny!”

“So you secretly ran away?” At this, Qing Huang looked at Luo Qingcheng with much more approval.

“Yes!”

Li Daoxuan couldn’t help but recall his first experience going to Luo City and couldn’t help but ask, “When I went to the Xuantian Business Alliance in Luo City before, why were you so…”

“So focused on you, right?”

Luo Qingcheng fell into thought, and after a while, she said, “At that time, I just wanted to recruit talent for the Xuantian Business Alliance!”

“But as our contact deepened, the more I understood you, the more astonished I became.”

“We hadn’t even met then, but after our first meeting, do you know what I thought?”

Qing Huang blinked her big eyes and quickly asked, “What did you think?”

“At that time, I was thinking of having him marry into the Luo Family as a live-in son-in-law, and with all of the Luo Family’s resources for cultivation, we could definitely cultivate a top-tier expert.”

“I even naively thought of convincing the Family!”

“But, ha ha ha…”

“There are always some people in the Family who can’t wait!”

“Do you know what I thought later?”

“Can’t you just say it all at once? What’s wrong with you, speaking with such long pauses!” Qing Huang couldn’t help but retort.

“As we spent more time together, and I understood him better, I felt that he was definitely a one-in-a-million Genius, no worse than those so-called Saints and Saintesses of Hidden Sects and Families, and perhaps even stronger!”

“I think so too!” Li Daoxuan was quite conceited. He thought about how he used to be a little weakling, not only with terrible Aptitude but also with shockingly low Comprehension Ability.

Now that he was being regarded as a peerless Genius, he was quite happy.

But Luo Qingcheng’s next sentence almost made Li Daoxuan stumble.

“At that time, I was thinking of eloping with him! Finding a place where no one could find us.”

“Pfft ~ Cough, cough, cough!”

Xuan Yue and Qing Xuan couldn’t help but cough; this sister was quite… fierce.

“Then what are you thinking now?” Qing Huang became a curious baby.

“Letting go!”

Li Daoxuan finally understood the girl’s intentions; it was just that she usually hid them too well, and Li Daoxuan hadn’t really noticed.

Li Daoxuan: “Qingcheng, you want to give up, but I don’t agree!”

“I want to marry you and then have you bear me many children!”

“Brother-in-law… I can do that too!”

“Go on, go on! Children, go play over there.”

Qing Huang: “……”

Luo Qingcheng said seriously, “Li Dage, when I came here and saw your Family happy, I decided to give up. I don’t want to bring disaster upon you.”

Qing Xuan quickly said, “Sister Qingcheng, don’t give up!”

“Although Senior Brother can’t elope with you, we can live together, isn’t that good?”

Zi Ling: “I also agree that Sister Qingcheng should stay!”

Qing Huang raised her little hand and said, “I agree too!”

Xuan Yue countered, “Hmph! You’re not a member of their Li Family, you have no right to agree!”

Li Daoxuan stepped forward and took Luo Qingcheng’s cold little hand. She rarely resisted, but her heart was still very conflicted.

Li Daoxuan said gently, “I understand all your worries!”

“You don’t want to bring trouble to us, and you’re also worried about your Family being difficult, right?”

“Mm-hmm!”

“Actually, you don’t need to worry about any of that!”

“Look at this defensive grand formation in my house, how is it?”

Luo Qingcheng’s cherry lips parted slightly, and she genuinely praised, “It’s very powerful and very profound!”

“However, you still don’t understand those Hidden Families and Hidden Sects. A single grand formation can’t stop them!”

“Then can you tell me how powerful they really are?”

“Hidden Families and Hidden Sects are colossal entities; within them…”
