Chapter 476: Xiao Luo Remembers?
“Alright, let the brothers rest well, and I have some things I want to ask you.”
The group followed Chi Jinchen to the manor. The manor was quiet and elegant, understated yet luxurious. A layman would find nothing remarkable about it, but Yu Luo and her group, having seen a bit of the world, immediately recognized its extraordinary nature.
“Young Master Chi is quite wealthy, to have such a luxurious manor in a place like the capital.”
The subordinates went to rest, and Yu Luo sat down in the guest seat. Soon, servants brought tea and pastries.
Hearing this, Chi Jinchen smiled his usual gentle smile, which made his face even more handsome.
“Xiao Luo is joking. Xiao Luo is no less wealthy. If you like this manor, I’ll give it to you. You and your family can come and stay for a few days when you come to the capital.”
Hearing this, Yu Luo quickly waved her hand in refusal, almost spitting out the tea she had just taken a sip of.
What virtue or ability did she have to accept Chi Jinchen’s manor? They were just ordinary friends. But even if she liked it, she would rather buy it herself.
Thinking of this, Yu Luo thought of the businesses in Luo City and decided to set up some businesses in the capital when she had time. Even if she didn’t come, her subordinates would have a place to stay.
“Young Master Chi is too polite. There’s no need for that. But if Young Master Chi has time, you can help me find a suitable courtyard and shops in the capital. I’ll set up some businesses and bring Luo City’s business to the capital of the Lan Yue Dynasty.”
Even though the capital couldn’t compare to the wilderness, snow was falling outside the window. Yu Luo swallowed the pastry and looked at Chi Jinchen.
They had been traveling through wind and rain, and even though the New Year was over, the weather was still cold.
However, Yu Luo still insisted on keeping a clear account with her close friends and didn’t realize his feelings for her.
Chi Jinchen knew what kind of person Yu Luo was, and he said this to help Yu Luo understand his intentions.
“Alright, I’ll have someone take care of it. Is it alright to transfer the ownership to Xiao Luo?”
Thinking of what to plan for the next few days, Chi Jinchen put his feelings back in his heart.
Yu Luo nodded and picked up another pastry.
“It seems Xiao Luo remembers who I am?”
“I was too foolish and never dared to think that the man in the private mine on the Ninefold Mountains would be such a gentle young master. Since the beast attack on Feng City, the moment you put on the mask, I actually remembered.
But you and I have gone through several life-and-death situations. I, Yu Luo, am not ungrateful. Even though you arranged for over ten thousand people to come to Luo City and didn’t attack me for my initial offense, you still kept the private army in Luo City. I know your intentions.”
Yu Luo’s simple and straightforward question made Chi Jinchen’s gentle eyes pause, and he was a little surprised for a moment.
Hearing this, it was Yu Luo’s turn to smile bitterly.
“Even though you asked Xuan Qi to tell me not to come, I was still a little worried about you, so I brought some people. Chi Jinchen, tell me the truth, do you want to rebel?”
Hearing Yu Luo’s words, Chi Jinchen leaned back lazily on his chair, his eyes becoming even more gentle as he gazed at Yu Luo affectionately.
After a long time, he smiled and said softly, “Since Xiao Luo is willing to come to the capital to advance and retreat with me, it seems I, Chi Jinchen, didn’t misjudge you. Xiao Luo is so good, how can I hold that little offense against you?”
Yu Luo was speechless.
To be honest, she really didn’t like talking to Chi Jinchen like this.
She spoke directly, but every word Chi Jinchen said seemed to require deep thought, and sometimes made Yu Luo feel inexplicable.
“No matter what, we’ll settle the previous offense later. But this time, I just want to know, do you want to rebel by bringing the private army into the capital? If so, take me with you. Not only can I help you, but I also want to save the person I want to save.”
“You’re talking about the Fifth Prince?”
Chi Jinchen finished speaking, and Yu Luo nodded without hesitation.
“Yes. Since you can tell me this in the letter, you must have investigated the relationship between me and the Fifth Prince. So if I ask you now, if you succeed in the rebellion, can you not kill him?”
Hearing this, Chi Jinchen’s gentle eyes gradually turned cold as he smiled.
“So, the Fifth Prince is really that important to Xiao Luo?”
Yu Luo was speechless.
Seeing that Chi Jinchen didn’t agree, Yu Luo simply laid her cards on the table.
“In that case, I’ll be blunt. If you want to kill them all, I’ll forcibly take him away from you.”
Yu Luo’s words made Chi Jinchen’s heart grow colder.
It seemed that Yu Luo wasn’t unaware of his feelings for her. She just had someone else in her heart.
“Alright.”
Chi Jinchen didn’t say anything more. After uttering a simple word, he stood up.
“In that case, you rest first. We’ll prepare to enter the palace tomorrow afternoon. I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
After speaking, Chi Jinchen walked towards the door, and Yu Luo didn’t notice any difference in Chi Jinchen.
She just thought Chi Jinchen was a little angry, thinking that the Fifth Prince was, after all, the Emperor’s bloodline.
By keeping the Fifth Prince, she was leaving a root, so Chi Jinchen was unhappy.
“Um, the people I brought were carefully selected. Even though their skills aren’t as good as your subordinates…”
Seeing Chi Jinchen about to walk out of the front hall, Yu Luo quickly got up and said.
But halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped, a bitter smile gradually spreading across her face.
Chi Jinchen stopped when Yu Luo spoke, waiting for her to continue. But he waited for Yu Luo to hesitate and then smile bitterly.
“I wanted to say, I brought some people, you can take them to your private army. I’ve told them that they were all arranged to come to Luo City when it was first built, right?
In the end, the people my father carefully trained are actually your subordinates. You have no reason to doubt them joining your private army. I only need to keep Luo Yi by my side.”
Seeing that Yu Luo had clearly misunderstood him, Chi Jinchen, thinking of Yu Luo’s feelings for the Fifth Prince, didn’t bother to explain.
“Alright, I’ll have them arrange it. You rest well. I’ll go back first.”
