Chu Luo played the zither for more than an hour.

When she stopped playing, there was a knock on the door.

Then, the door was pushed open.

Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Li Yan, who was standing there, and smiled at him.

“Yan, why are you here?”

“I’m worried about you.”

Li Yan walked in.

Chu Luo put away the Phoenix Zither. When he walked in front of her, she looked up at him happily and said, “I’ve already dealt with the Gu worm in Teacher Gao’s mind. Everyone can be at ease in the future.”

“Mm.”

Li Yan took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped the sweat off her nose. “Are you tired?”

Chu Luo wanted to say that she wasn’t tired, but she suddenly thought of something and extended her slender hand to him. “I played the Phoenix Zither for more than an hour. My hand hurts.”

Li Yan held her hand and massaged it gently.

Chu Luo nodded with starlight in her eyes. “I lied to you.”

“Mm.” Li Yan didn’t let go of her hand and continued to massage it.

Chu Luo looked at his focused eyes and raised her other hand to touch his handsome face. She suddenly thought of the last period of his previous life and her nose felt a stinging sensation.

She asked, “Yan, did you become a bystander like me during that last period of time?”

Li Yan lowered his eyes and massaged her face. He let her touch his face and only responded with an “Mm” after a while.

When Chu Luo heard this, she pulled her hand out of his and fell into his arms.

“Silly.”

Li Yan hugged her tightly and said, “Do you know why I could sit on the throne at the age of ten in my previous life?”

Chu Luo looked up at him in confusion. Wasn’t it because his father and mother died?

Li Yan knew what she was thinking when he saw her expression. “I had my royal brothers and Imperial Uncle below me. I wasn’t the only one who could sit on that throne, but they could too. Back then, it was the High Priestess and Fang Yao’s father who helped me.

“However, the High Priestess wanted me to promise that I put all my focus in the imperial court. I wasn’t to have a queen before I was 22, let alone a concubine.”

Chu Luo was a little confused.

Li Yan let out a low and delighted laugh. “At that time, I didn’t have such thoughts to begin with. I only wanted to develop the Kingdom of the Phoenix Skies into a superpower that everyone wanted to worship. Later on, I met you.”

At this point, Li Yan looked at her lovingly.

Chu Luo asked in a daze, “What had that got to do with meeting me?”

“When I met you, you were only four years old. I was ten.”

“Mm?”

“The High Priestess deliberately made me wait for you to grow up.”

After saying that, Li Yan kissed her pink lips.

Chu Luo thought about it and felt that it seemed to be the case. Her master had requested that the king not accept concubines, but she had allowed her to run into the palace for no reason. She had really put in a lot of effort.

At the thought of this, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. “Master expended her entire cultivation for me. If it weren’t for Master, I might not have transmigrated to this world.”

“Mm.”

Li Yan patted her back and comforted her silently.

The two of them hugged for a while before Chu Luo retreated from his arms and said, “Let Teacher Gao sleep for a while more. Let’s go out first. Otherwise, Mrs. Gao will be worried.”

When the two of them went out, sure enough, they saw Mrs. Gao waiting anxiously.

When she saw Chu Luo come out, she quickly asked, “Little Chu, how’s Old Gao?”

“Mrs. Gao, don’t worry. The surgery was very successful. Teacher Gao will wake up after sleeping for a while.”

“That’s great.” Mrs. Gao finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’ll go see Old Gao first. The dishes are almost ready. We’ll eat when Old Gao wakes up.”

“Okay.”

Mrs. Gao immediately went to the operating theater.

Chu Luo and Li Yan sat down in the living room and waited.

At this moment, Li Yan’s phone rang.

He took it out to answer the call and she heard him say, “Tell him I’ll see him tomorrow.”

With that, he hung up.

Seeing that his expression had returned to its usual coldness, Chu Luo looked at him curiously.

Li Yan told him, “Old Master wants me to go over.”

It was obvious what Old Master Duanmu would do if he asked Li Yan to go over.

This time, not only did the Qin family suffer heavy losses, but the Duanmu family also suffered serious losses. Under such circumstances, the positions of the two great aristocratic families in the capital were in peril.

To protect the position of a super aristocratic family, one had to have a large amount of money.

As the world’s richest man, Li Yan was always in high demand, let alone now.

Chu Luo asked him, “What do you plan to do?”

Speaking of the debt of gratitude he owed the Old Master for saving his life, he had already repaid him far, far more.

Li Yan said, “He’s our matchmaker. I’ll let him enjoy his later years.”

As for the others from the Duanmu family and whether the Duanmu family would no longer be a super aristocratic family, that wasn’t something he wanted to care about.

Chu Luo understood what he meant and nodded without saying anything else.

Old Gao woke up half an hour later.

When he sat at the dining table, he asked Chu Luo in confusion, “Little Chu, has my illness been cured?”

Chu Luo nodded. “Yes.”

Old Gao still didn’t believe her. “Why don’t I feel anything?”

“Because.” Chu Luo rolled her eyes and said seriously, “I’m a divine doctor. I used an immortal technique to treat your illness.”

When Old Gao heard this, he scolded jokingly, “Wretched girl, do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?”

Chu Luo smiled at him. After smiling, she became serious and said, “Teacher Gao, actually, someone cast a Gu poison on you. What’s in your brain was a Gu worm.”

“What!”

Old Gao and Mrs. Gao’s faces turned pale.

“But I’ve already helped you get the Gu worm out of your brain.”

“Will… Will Old Gao suffer any repercussions in the future?” When Mrs. Gao asked this, her voice was trembling.

“Do you remember the bowl of medicine Teacher Gao drank before entering the operating theater? It’s a medicine that can protect Teacher Gao’s cerebral nerves from being destroyed by Gu worms.”

When she heard this, Mrs. Gao felt a lingering fear. “Luckily, Old Gao drank all of it. Otherwise, it would have been a huge loss.”

Old Gao thought so too.

“Hehe, so Teacher Gao, you have to thank the butler for giving you a candy.”

When Old Gao heard this, he quickly nodded. “That’s right. Luckily, I had Mr. Beitang’s candy. Otherwise, I would have really vomited that last mouthful.”

Old Gao decided to thank the butler properly before he left.

After the meal, Chu Luo asked Old Gao to rest.

She and Li Yan walked out of their courtyard.

It was still snowing. Chu Luo was wearing a white knee-length cloak that made her face look pink and tender. She looked like a little fairy.

Chu Luo reached out to catch two snowflakes and said to Li Yan, “Anya and I agreed to have a snowball fight in the afternoon. I wonder what Anya is doing at this time?”

“You can call and ask.”

“Good idea… but I didn’t bring my phone.”

Li Yan handed her his phone from his pocket.

Chu Luo called Anya.

Unexpectedly, Anya didn’t answer it.

Chu Luo thought for a while and called Qin Ming.

Qin Ming seemed to know that it was her and knew what she was going to say. He said directly, “Miss Chu, she’s eating.”

Chu Luo was a little surprised that Anya didn’t answer the call, but she didn’t ask. Instead, she asked Li Yan, “Where is more fun to have a snowball fight?”

“There’s a slope south of here. Not only can we have a snowball fight, but we can also ski.”

When Chu Luo heard this, her eyes lit up. She said to Qin Ming, “Tell Anya that I’ll wait for her at the south slope.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo pulled Li Yan over and asked him to bring her over. “I’ve never skied before. Let’s go skiing first.”

“Can you ski?” Li Yan let her pull him forward.

“No, teach me.”

Li Yan was delighted by Chu Luo’s absolute trust in him.

“Okay.”

Chu Luo had thought that the slope wasn’t very big. When she got there, she was surprised to see that it had a slope of at least ten acres.

“What is this place for? Why is it so big?”

“One of the bodyguards’ training grounds.”

Li Yan had just finished speaking when a few bodyguards brought over some skiing tools.

Li Yan wanted Chu Luo to put on her ski clothes, but Chu Luo refused. “It’s not convenient to move around in these clothes. I’m not wearing them.”

Li Yan let her be.

The two of them each took a skiing board. Li Yan told Chu Luo about the technique of skiing and held her hand to ski for a while. After that, Chu Luo skied very well.

When Anya and Qin Ming came over, Chu Luo was skiing alone on the slope. Li Yan stood on the slope and looked at her.

Anya looked at Chu Luo’s voice and clicked her tongue. “I didn’t expect Chu to be so good at skiing.”

She then tilted her head to look at Li Yan, who had been staring at Chu Luo, and then at the expressionless Qin Ming. She asked him, “Blockhead, do you want to ski?”

Qin Ming glanced at her and said without thinking, “No.”

Anya wasn’t counting on this person to be very warm to her outside anyway.. She walked over, took the skiing board, and slid after Chu Luo.
