Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

"not me……"

Lu Yuguan was in a trance for a moment, and always felt that Zhao Zimo had an indescribable sense of resentment.

Zhao Zimo held Lu Yuguan's hand tightly, was silent for a moment, and finally let go.

"Yuguan, promise me not to contact Li Chonglin." Zhao Zimo sighed.

"I know," Lu Yuguan said comfortingly, "He promised me that when he returns from Nanzhou this time, he will no longer bother me."

After hearing this, Zhao Zimo finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression changed again.

"No, he's definitely not that kind. What did you promise him?"

"He said that Miao'er's cultivation wasn't high enough to go with him to Nanzhou, so he asked me to be his sword attendant," Lu Yuguan replied. "Don't worry, he promised me that he wouldn't do anything out of line and would keep me safe."

Although it was agreed in bed.

As Lu Yuguan thought about this, his face turned red.

Zhao Zimo caught the change in Lu Yuguan's expression and frowned subconsciously. He was keenly aware of the unnaturalness in Lu Yuguan's tone.

Zhao Zimo stared at Lu Yuguan's eyes, trying to find a clue from them.

"Yuguan, are you really sure he won't do anything to you?" Zhao Zimo's voice was filled with worry. "Li Chonglin acts as he pleases, so you have to be careful."

Lu Yuguan nodded, but a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He understood that Zhao Zimo's worries were not unreasonable, and Li Chonglin was indeed a domineering person.

However, Lu Yuguan also knew that he had already promised Li Chonglin, and if he wanted to get the laptop, he also needed Li Chonglin's help.

"Don't worry, Brother Zimo, I will pay attention."

Lu Yuguan tried to ease the atmosphere with a relaxed tone, but Zhao Zimo's brows were still furrowed.

"If he really dares to do anything to you, I will never let him go." There was a hint of determination in Zhao Zimo's voice and his eyes were full of protectiveness.

Lu Yuguan felt warm in her heart. It seemed that Zhao Zimo really cared about her.

"By the way, take this."

Zhao Zimo took out a brocade box from his arms and pushed it in front of Li Chonglin.

"What is this?" Lu Yuguan asked curiously.

"Open it and take a look."

At Zhao Zimo's urging, Lu Yuguan nervously opened the brocade box, revealing a necklace inlaid with sky blue gemstones.

"Is this for me?"

Lu Yuguan asked Zhao Zimo in surprise.

Zhao Zimo looked at Lu Yuguan seriously and said, "I promised you that I would give you a surprise when we meet. Actually, there is more than just this necklace. However, I came to Longhua Country for an urgent matter, so I can only give you a necklace as a gift."

"This...this is too precious."

Lu Yuguan stared at the necklace eagerly. The surface of the gem was engraved with strange runes, which seemed to contain huge energy.

"It shouldn't be an ordinary necklace, right?"

"You guessed right," Zhao Zimo explained patiently, "This is a crystal sapphire from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the northern border. It has a powerful spiritual energy-gathering effect. The wearer can better absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and accelerate the speed of cultivation."

"This necklace also contains the secret inscriptions of the Xin Zhao royal family, which can protect the wearer from fatal harm at critical moments."

Lu Yuguan looked at the little gadget in his hand in surprise. He didn't expect that this small and exquisite thing could have such a wonderful use.

"No, no, Brother Zhao, this is worth a spiritual weapon. We are just acquaintances, it's not worth your trouble." Lu Yuguan quickly declined.

He wanted to push the brocade box back, but Zhao Zimo's big hands wrapped around him again.

"Don't say that, Yuguan," Zhao Zimo said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity, "Just consider it as an apology for leaving without saying goodbye, will you accept it?"

"But..." Lu Yuguan said anxiously, "Didn't you say you met a girl you loved in Longhua Country? Why didn't you give this to her?"

"Really?" Zhao Zimo was stunned for a moment.

"Of course I do!" Lu Yuguan looked at him strangely. "Didn't you tell the emperor that in public at court?"

Zhao Zimo frowned suddenly. If Lu Yuguan hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about it.

But Lu Yuguan had no idea that the beloved person Zhao Zimo was talking about was himself.

"I..." Zhao Zimo was suddenly speechless. He didn't know how to explain to Lu Yuguan.

If I refute this, wouldn't I be considered a villain who breaks his promise?

But how could he explain to Lu Yuguan that they had already been together, but without Lu Yuguan's knowledge...

Do we really have to break this blank paper now?

What if Lu Yuguan hates me for this?

No.

Absolutely not.

Zhao Zimo looked at Lu Yuguan in front of him, and felt a bitter feeling in his heart.

The person you love is right in front of you, but you can't even say "I love you".

Seeing that Zhao Zimo seemed to be hesitant to speak, Lu Yuguan instantly imagined everything.

"Alas, it's just a broken heart. Since we've already separated, stop thinking about it."

"What?" Zhao Zimo asked in confusion.

"Brother Zhao, don't say more. I understand everything," Lu Yuguan said in a comforting tone. "I guess this necklace is definitely for the girl, right?"

After a little thought, Zhao Zimo understood everything Lu Yuguan was thinking.

"Almost... almost," Zhao Zimo replied dryly, his expression unchanged as he also went down the slope. "It's going to be given away anyway, so I thought I might as well give it to you."

Lu Yuguan proudly raised the necklace and dangled it in the air.

"Hehe, my guess was right. Brother Zhao, oh Brother Zhao, you're still too naive!"

Zhao Zimo smiled bitterly and nodded. Since the other party said so, what else could he do?

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Lu Yuguan reached out and carefully put on the necklace. The sky-blue gem made her already slender and fair neck look even more attractive.

Zhao Zimo looked at Lu Yuguan's chest, and all the memories of that night surged in his heart again like melted honey.

"Hey, Brother Zhao, you're right, this fits me pretty well!" Lu Yuguan said happily.

"As long as you like it."

Zhao Zimo looked at him tenderly.

fool.

It's originally yours.

The two of them exchanged a few casual pleasantries, and when everyone had almost finished eating, they stayed at Qianhua Lao.

"When did you start the accommodation business? How come I didn't know about it?" Lu Yuguan asked Hongdie and others in surprise.

"This is all Ah Huang's idea," Hongdie said with a smile, "We've also bought the shop next door. Ah Huang has a lot of ideas. He said he wants to open an inn with one-stop service."

"We need to open more branches in other places to make our reputation known!"

Lu Yuguan said appreciatively: "Not bad, not bad, you really have a business mind."

He looked at the waiters who were clearing the tableware and continued to ask, "Hey, how much money did these tables make just now?"

Hongdie stammered and took out two fingers.

"Twenty taels?"

Hongdie shook her head.

"Two taels?" Lu Yuguan frowned. "They are really big eaters."

Hongdie shook her head again and said awkwardly, "I lost two taels of gold."

"what!"

Lu Yuguan's eyes widened.

Hongdie said aggrievedly, "You said it yourself, let them eat as much as they want..."

Damn it!

Lu Yuguan looked at the necklace on his chest, feeling like crying but unable to do so.

Damn, after all this time, this necklace is just for comforting myself!

"Zhao Zimo, get out—"

"Pay the hot pot fee!"
