Chapter 0639: Li Luo's Plan

When Li Luo noticed that darn Shen Jinxiao before him, his eyes shrunk a little. What was that dog planning to do at this point in time?

Mentor Chi Chan's chilly gaze was focused upon Shen Jinxiao as she asked differently, "Shen Jinxiao, what are you doing here?"

He smiled. "Mentor Chi Chan, don't you think you're overstepping your bounds? The college is so large, why can't I enjoy the shade over here?"

After which, Chi Chan's gaze only became more frosty.

Shen Jinxiao saw the change in her and only laughed in response. "The truth is, I merely wanted to exchange a few words with Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e." With that, he turned to face Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e.

Facing his gaze, Jiang Qing'e remained calm but did not look at him directly, only in his general direction. Seeing this, Li Luo only beamed widely. "Mentor Shen Jinxiao, I don't think we have anything we would like to talk about, don't you think?"

Shen Jinxiao grinned in response. "If Qing'e is able to promise me something, I'm willing to stick my neck out for the Housemeet and render assistance. What do you think?"

The smile on Li Luo's face subsided slightly, and his gaze turned both icy and sharp like a knife.

"Shen Jinxiao, who are you trying to fool? Do you think the college will allow you to intervene?" Mentor Chi Chan frostily spoke up.

"That's my problem. Don't butt in." A toying look appeared on his face. "Whatever I say is the truth. I'll swear on it, so long as Qing'e is able to promise it. I will even be the reinforcement for House Luolan. What do you think?"

"You really are good at fishing in muddled waters," Chi Chan retorted.

Shen Jinxiao did not fall for Chi Chan's aggravations, only staring directly at Qing'e.

On the other hand, Jiang Qing'e completely ignored his existence, only tugging at Li Luo's hand as they continued walking forward. Just as the two parties were about to walk past each other, Li Luo fiercely glared at Shen Jinxiao. "Shen Jinxiao, don't even think of touching something you cannot afford to. Otherwise, I'll chop you up and feed your remains to the dogs in the future."

Shen Jinxiao only wryly smiled in response.

She proceeded to drag Li Luo away. On the other hand, Chi Chan continued to coldly glare at Shen Jinxiao before following.

Shen Jinxiao continued to wistfully stare at their fading silhouettes, the smile on his face finally being wiped off and his gaze turning gloomy.

"It's such a shame... not grasping on to even your final saving grace."

...

"Shen Jinxiao definitely covets Student Qing'e. You have to be wary," Mentor Chi Chan reminded the two when they arrived at House Luolan's carriage.

"Does the college really want to retain such an unscrupulous scrub?" Li Luo frowned.

"He may have a vicious heart, but the fact is that he has never truly taken any action. How could the college get rid of him without rhyme nor reason?" Chi Chan retorted.

This response kept Li Luo silent.

She paused before explaining, "Vice Principal Su Xin warned him to control himself during the last internal college meeting, also asking if he harbored any feelings towards student Qing'e. His response? He was merely someone who admired her, albeit a little too much..."

A cold glint flashed through Li Luo's eyes.

Similarly, Qing'e's countenance turned frosty. Shen Jinxiao's words had caused a sense of revulsion and hatred.

"Although it wouldn't be ideal if the students were to hear of such news, it indeed doesn't break any of the college's rules. Thus, Vice Principal Su Xin was also helpless to act, only able to warn him sternly to not take action... However, I understand that man very well. He's a strange one, and what he desires might not be so simple," Chi Chan continued. "He probably has other thoughts..."

Li Luo frowned deeply. That damned beast of a man was a blight on the earth. If the opportunity arose, he would undoubtedly rid the world of that cancer.

"Regardless of what he thinks, he's still a mentor of the college and is subject to the college's rules. He will not dare to act openly and brazenly," Chi Chan explained.

The duo glanced at each other in response, merely nodding.

Now that House Luolan was at a pivotal crossroad, dealing with Shen Jinxiao would have to be placed on the backburner.

"Mentor Chi Chan, are you escorting us because you’re concerned about House Lanling's attacks?" Li Luo jested.

"I already sort of knew what Xin Fu was going to say." She did not deny that was the reason. The probability of the any assassination occurring before the event was unlikely, but it was better to be careful. No one could understand their underhanded ways.

"Thank you, Mentor, for your aid," Li Luo said from the depths of his heart.

Chi Chan waved her hand, not deigning to speak any further. She then closed her eyes and took a nap in the carriage.

The interior of the carriage remained silent as the other two continued to stare out of the windows, idly watching the countless lights of houses that streamed by.

After a period of time, the carriage arrived at the headquarters of House Luolan.

"Mentor Chi Chan, would you like to be our guest and perhaps have a cup of tea?" Li Luo politely offered.

Mentor Chi Chan took a glance at the headquarters before her and gave a smile that wasn't a smile. "House Luolan is not the most inviting place for Dukes. I don't like this sort of suppressive feeling, it doesn't feel safe."

Looking at her expression, Li Luo finally remembered that House Luolan's Headquarters contained a mysterious ward. All Dukes that entered would be greatly suppressed. The only issue was that the day of the Housemeet was the one day it would weaken.

"Li Luo, take care. I hope that I'll see you at school in five days' time. If such a talent was wasted, it would be truly regrettable," Mentor Chi Chan said before she turned to leave. Her lithe figure seemed to tread the rays of moonlight shining down upon them as she disappeared in a flash.

Jiang Qing'e stared at the vanished figure before turning to Li Luo. "Mentor Chi Chan treats you very well."

"Of course! Being a heaven-defying and unparalleled genius paired with absolutely amazing looks would do that to anyone. I'm probably the most amazing person Mentor Chi Chan has ever met." Li Luo waved his hand as though this was nothing exceptional.

"Don't forget the fact that you're also the most shameless as well," Jiang Qing'e replied.

"Hey! Being shameless is also a good thing. Sister Qing'e, you're too cold and aloof, so you occupy a high, lonely stature in the hearts of everyone. Otherwise with your ludicrous strength and amazing talent, you might have managed to seduce the hearts of some female Violet Vibrance mentors... they might have even opted to leave the college to join our house!" Li Luo spoke with full conviction.

Jiang Qing'e on the other hand helplessly looked at Li Luo's casual comments, completely ignoring him as she turned to walk into headquarters.

Li Luo grinned as he followed suit.

As they returned, the two had a quick dinner before Li Luo returned to his room. He sat cross-legged atop his bed and started to inspect his three resonant palaces. He had purely focused upon the cultivation of the duke art this entire period of time and had slacked off a little when it came to earth fiend energy refinement. It was fortunate that he had obtained a nice pile of Fiend Origin Pills and with their help, managed to fully refine his second resonant palace within twenty odd days.

The current him only had the Thunder Dragon resonance remaining to temper.

However this was also more or less enough.

He might have only broken through into the Fiend Palace tier just a month ago but both his waterlight resonance and woodearth resonance had been fully tempered. This allowed his resonant power to increase significantly and was comparable to those at the peak of the Lesser Fiend Palace tier.

Feeling the dense viscous resonant power flow through him, he felt a great sense of satisfaction. After which his gaze turned onto the red bangle on his wrist, of which sealed the three-tailed heavenly wolf.

Li Luo fell into deep thought.

A huge battle was inevitable during the housemeet and the three-tailed heavenly wolf was a critical card of his. Through the use of the Heavenly Libation chant, he could borrow the three-tailed heavenly wolf's power... however he now had a new idea.

There was an opportunity for him to fool around with... ahem... an opportunity to deal with the three-tailed heavenly wolf.
