The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Luo Wei chuckled gravely and continued, "I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll be frank with you. You nearly became possessed by a demon during the sect competition, which proves you must have some inner demons and bad roots. Furthermore, you have the blood of the elven royal family. If you could become possessed by a demon, your cultivation would surely soar. A small place like the Xianyun Sect isn't suitable for you. It's better for you to come to me."

Yan Chuan stared at Luo Wei's back and said slowly, "Since you know I'm from the Xianyun Sect, you should know that I won't become a demon and join you just for the sake of so-called cultivation."

"Hey, young man, don't be so hasty to refuse. Since I can find you, I naturally have the confidence to make you a member of our team. But right now, I have other things to do."

Luo Wei raised a hand and waved his fingertips lightly, as if to shoo away insignificant flies. "Zhi Da, my elixir isn't ready yet, so take them away first. Remember, treat Yan Chuan well. Give him food and drink. Don't mistreat him."

"Don't worry, sir." Qiu Zhida bowed slightly and said, "I have already prepared the best room."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly tightened the silver net in his hand. The net instantly tightened like a living thing, tightly entangling Jiang Yingxue and Yan Chuan. The two were wrapped tightly before they even had time to struggle.

"You two, follow me." Qiu Zhida sneered, turned around and dragged the two of them out of the alchemy room.

Jiang Yingxue's gaze involuntarily turned towards Luo Wei. Through the swirling green smoke, she could only vaguely see the outline of his slightly tilted head, but could not see his appearance clearly.

Isn't Luo Wei a ruthless person? How could he be so easy to talk to?

However, before she could think about it, Qiu Zhida had already dragged them into another corridor.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Zhida did as he said and took the two of them into a luxurious room.

This room is spacious and bright, with carved beams and painted buildings all around. The table is filled with all kinds of delicacies, and even the wine cups are filled with fine wine.

The two stood at the door, staring blankly at the scene which was completely different from what they had imagined.

Jiang Yingxue had already prepared herself mentally for being thrown into a dark and damp prison, but she did not expect to be treated like this.

But when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Yan Chuan's eyes darkened: "What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhida sneered, "Since Lord Luo Wei wants to recruit soldiers, he must show sincerity. This is his 'toast'. However—" He paused, a meaningful smile on his face: "Don't be ungrateful, or you will be punished."

As Qiu Zhida finished speaking, the silver net twisted like a living thing, quickly retracted into his hand, and turned into a slender stream of light and disappeared.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, with a hint of sneer, and he pushed hard, pushing Jiang Yingxue and Yan Chuan into the room together.

"Bang!" The heavy wooden door slammed shut behind him, making a low, muffled sound.

Qiu Zhida stood outside the door and raised his hand to pat the door: "I advise you not to waste your energy and rest well in your room."

In the room, Jiang Yingxue and Yan Chuan looked at each other, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Yan Chuan took a step forward and asked through the door: "Then when can we get out?"

Qiu Zhida snorted softly from outside the door: "We have to wait for Lord Luo Wei to finish refining the pill. It will probably take another hour or two."

He paused and added, "Oh, by the way, you should cherish the present moment. Lord Luo Wei is not a kind person. As for this toast, please enjoy it if you can."

After saying that, Qiu Zhida turned and left.

The footsteps gradually faded away and finally disappeared at the end of the corridor.

An awkward silence fell in the room.

Jiang Yingxue glanced around and paused for a moment when her eyes fell on the carved bed covered with exquisite satin.

Now that you're here, why not just sit down...

She walked straight over and sat on the bed.

Then he patted the seat next to Yan Chuan and said, "Come and sit down. Aren't you tired of being dragged around by me just now?"

Yan Chuan stood there, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment, and finally he said "hmm" softly, walked over to her side and sat down.

The soft mattress sank slightly, and the room fell silent again.

The two sat side by side, neither of them speaking first.

Jiang Yingxue lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously stroking the satin beside the bed. The cool and smooth touch calmed her mind a little.

However, this calmness was more like a kind of emptiness. After experiencing the tense escape and the terrifying chase, she was suddenly stuffed into such a luxurious room, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.

She didn't know what else she could do now that she had been caught. All she could do seemed to be chat with Yan Chuan and kill the hour or two.

"Speaking of which..." Jiang Yingxue spoke first: "You told my dad yesterday that you... like me?"

In fact, she wanted to ask this question at that time, but she forgot about it because of the Mengshan incident.

Yan Chuan let out a "hmm" and turned his head away.

Jiang Yingxue immediately came over and said, "Hey, you've been a playboy in the capital for so long, why do you get shy when you say the word 'like'?"

She stretched out her hand to hook Yan Chuan's chin, forcibly turned Yan Chuan's face back, and said in a delicate voice: "Mr. Yan, are you shy?"

Yan Chuan looked down at Jiang Yingxue, his heart beating wildly.

After a while, he finally managed to squeeze out two words, his ears red: "No."

Jiang Yingxue teased, "Tsk tsk tsk, you're blushing already. I don't know how you managed to act like such a dandy back then."

Jiang Yingxue pinched Yan Chuan's chin and said, "Tell me! When I asked you on the boat before, why didn't you admit that you liked me? I thought you liked men!"

Yan Chuan sighed slightly: "With such a rich imagination, it would be a shame not to write a storybook."

"You don't know, in the world I lived in in my previous life, many beautiful men liked men. I was used to it."

Jiang Yingxue released her hand as she spoke. "You don't know, in my previous life, the men I thought were good-looking were either in a relationship or gay. Oh, and gay means "broken sleeves." In short, in both my previous life and this life, I haven't been able to date a single good-looking man. How pitiful."

Listening to Jiang Yingxue's words, Yan Chuan couldn't help but become curious: "What was the world like in your previous life?"

Jiang Yingxue tried to recall it, then laughed and said, "In our world, there's no such thing as cultivation or not. We're all ordinary people anyway, working like slaves for the rich..."

The more Jiang Yingxue thought about it, the more she felt that she had lived a miserable life in her previous life.

"Never mind. It's not a place worth remembering. It's completely different from this world anyway."

"Okay." Yan Chuan nodded.
