After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

Lu Bai surveyed the room.

It's very spacious.

And it's divided into two sections, one inside and one outside.

There's also a bed outside.

Lu Bai said, "Okay, I can sleep there."

Hong'e smiled and said, "I'm sorry, that's my spot."

"You also live here?"

"Of course. I am Miss's personal maid. Where else would I live?"

Lu Bai glanced at Hong'e.

Personal maid, huh!

I thought she was a senior sister or junior sister.

Lu Bai stroked his chin, lost in thought.

This is obviously arranged by Huayu Lan. Does he really want me to become his brother-in-law?

Why?

Meanwhile, Hong'e was also pondering.

This Lu Qing, he's just ordinary. What does the young master see in him?

He even went out of his way to create this opportunity for him.

If he can't control himself at night and does something to Miss, won't Miss wake up and chop him up?

And then go chop the young master.

Forget it.

Everything is arranged by the young master. If something goes wrong, he'll take the blame. At most, I'll be an accomplice.

"I'm going to help Miss freshen up. Would you like to join, sir?" Hong'e asked with a smile.

Yes.

That was Lu Bai's immediate response.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head. "No."

Hong'e gave him a meaningful look, then picked up the jade screen on the bed and walked towards the adjacent bathroom.

Soon, the sound of rushing water came from inside.

Lu Bai couldn't help but think of the water cultivation he had done with You Lianrou, and his heart itched.

After a while, Hong'e came out, holding the jade screen and placing it back on the bed.

Lu Bai shifted his gaze and his heart rate instantly increased two or three times.

Is this too cool?

He saw that the jade screen was wearing a light pink silk nightgown, with two straps at the shoulder and a short length at the lower half, revealing her fair and slender legs.

Because the nightgown was very soft, it clung tightly to her skin, showcasing her delicate and curvaceous figure to the fullest.

"Sir, aren't you going to wash up?"

"Sir?"

Hong'e called several times before Lu Bai snapped out of his daze.

"Ah... I need to wash up! Of course, I need to wash up!" He awkwardly entered the bathroom.

"Do you need any help, sir?" Hong'e asked loudly.

"No need."

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Bai came out dressed neatly.

A proper bath is indeed much more comfortable than the 'Dust Removal Technique'.

Especially during this time, he had to disguise himself to avoid being tracked, making himself look unrecognizable.

"It's getting late, sir. You should rest!" Hong'e looked up and froze in place.

A few seconds later.

She thought to herself: I take back my previous ordinary evaluation. At least in terms of appearance and temperament, he is not inferior to the young master. He is more than worthy of Miss.

Hong'e took another look before walking towards the outer section.

Inside, only Lu Bai and the jade screen remained.

Lu Bai glanced at the bed and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

The true head.

He hasn't slept for many days and urgently needs a good sleep to rest his body. But this bed is too small, and it's a bit crowded for two people to lie side by side. Should he sleep while holding the painted jade screen?

Forget it.

Let's cultivate instead!

Most of the people on the giant sword are probably cultivating. This is how cultivators rest at night.

But...

After practicing a few rounds of the "Clear Heaven Formula," Lu Bai couldn't calm his mind and instead became more restless.

"Sister Hong'e, have you slept yet?"

"Not yet, does Young Master have something to say?"

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Bai decided to openly inquire about the situation.

"What does your young master mean? Does he really want me to be his brother-in-law?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"A lie."

"Then it should be true."

Lu Bai was almost caught off guard. After a two-second pause, he continued, "If he doesn't want it, why go through all this trouble?"

"I'm not sure. But he has done this before, and many people in the sect know about it."

"What do you mean?" Lu Bai didn't understand.

There was silence in the room for a while before she said, "The young master has previously chosen several husbands for Miss, but she didn't like any of them. No, it should be said that Miss doesn't want a husband at all. So every time, she causes a scene with the young master to make him stop interfering in her affairs."

"One time, I overheard Miss shouting, 'If you want to find someone so badly, find me a sister-in-law!' The young master said, 'I want to, but those sword geniuses are all men. If there were women, I would marry them.'"

"Therefore, I deduce that the young master's true purpose is not to find a husband for Miss, but to turn the sword geniuses he discovers into his own people through this method."

"In simple terms: talent love!"

"But after seeing you today, I'm confused again." There was a strong sense of confusion in Hong'e's tone.

"What's wrong with me?"

After hesitating for a moment, Hong'e said, "Please don't blame me for being blunt, but compared to the previous candidates the young master found, you are far inferior. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe you as ordinary. But the young master has entrusted Miss to you without reservation. The previous candidates didn't even get to see Miss before being driven away."

"I have a hunch that the young master is serious this time, so I call you 'Young Master'."

Lu Bai listened silently.

Am I a sword genius?

I didn't even know?

Could it be that the scene in the cave gave Huayu Lan a misunderstanding?

At that time, Huayu Lan exerted pressure on him, and the small sword in his chest suddenly erupted, helping him resolve the crisis.

Lu Bai was shocked, but he didn't think much of it at the time. Now, thinking about it, it was indeed extraordinary.

Alright, let's assume that I am a sword genius!

Hong'e said that Huayu Lan might be serious this time... He thought of a detail that seemed to support this.

Huayu Lan didn't completely erase the evil spirit on Huayu Ping's forehead. Perhaps it wasn't just to sharpen her sword will, but intentionally preventing her from waking up, so as not to repeat the previous situation and drive away the people he had chosen.

In that case, does he want me and Huayu Ping to become a couple?

Is there such a thing as being a brother?

No, no...

Lu Bai suddenly overturned his previous thoughts.

If he didn't sense it wrong, Hong'e should have the cultivation of the Foundation Building Stage. Is it possible for a personal maid with such high talent?

Could she be sent by Huayu Lan to monitor me? Once his beast nature erupts, she will immediately take him down.

So...

Is Huayu Lan actually testing his character?

Only someone with both sword talent and good character can be worthy of his sister.

Is that so?

Lu Bai's mind was buzzing and about to explode.

Damn it, why not just test it and find out?

Lu Bai stood up and walked towards the bed.

He was ready to let his beast nature erupt...
