777 Attraction

“Young Master, Young Master—”

The manservant called him a few times, but Li Kuo didn’t hear him.

The manservant waved his hand in front of Li Kuo. Li Kuo frowned and replied to the manservant, “What’s wrong?”

Bu Mo touched his nose and said, “Young Master, it’s already very late. We should go back. If we don’t, Madam will punish you again.”

The main thing was that if his master was disobedient, as his personal attendant, he would also be punished. Therefore, seeing that it was about time, he knew that his master would be unhappy if he said it, but he still braced himself and said it.

Although that girl was indeed beautiful and ostentatious, like the most gorgeous flower in the garden, it was really about time. If they didn’t go back soon, Madam would definitely punish them.

Li Kuo looked at Bu Mo and smiled. He raised his eyebrows and reached out to pick up the teacup on the table. He took a sip and said unhurriedly, “Bu Mo, Young Master usually treats you well, right?”

Bu Mo’s heart skipped a beat, and he replied in a tone that was about to cry, “Young Master treats Bu Mo very well—”

Li Kuo continued to smile. “Bu Mo often says that he’s willing to go through mountains of knives and seas of fire for me. I don’t want you to go through mountains of knives and seas of fire either. I’m not afraid of the family rules. Bu Mo won’t be unable to withstand ten strokes, right?”

Bu Mo frowned and decided to fight for more. He said, “Young Master, if Eldest Young Master finds out, your punishment will definitely double.”

Li Kuo smiled and shook his head. “It’s fine. I’m definitely going to get to know this girl. She’s also friends with this group of people. The Yang family’s Escort Agency delivers goods all year round and won’t stay here for long. I don’t know if this girl will follow them. Anyway, I don’t care. I can’t miss it. I’ll definitely regret it if I do”

Li Kuo stood up and strode towards the hall downstairs.

With a wave of his hand, he paid for all the food the Escort Agency had.

He walked up to Su Xiaolu. After a polite greeting, he said politely, “I’m Li Kuo. I’m lucky to have met you and want to get to know you. If you don’t mind, I want to have a few drinks with you.”

Su Xiaolu looked at Li Kuo. He had an imposing appearance and was dressed in white. The jade fan in his hand was obviously not of ordinary grade. His figure was elegant and his martial arts skills should be good. Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Sure, I’m Zhao Xiaolu.”

When she was outside, her name was Su Lu in men’s clothes and Zhao Xiaolu in women’s clothes. She took Madam Zhao’s surname.

“Miss Zhao is straightforward. I will definitely accompany you.”

Li Kuo was even more excited. Su Xiaolu’s eyes were really beautiful. She had a pair of peach blossom eyes, but she had the aura of a chivalrous goddess. She was really attractive.

Li Kuo also joined in the drinking and eating.

The meal ended late at night.

Su Xiaolu waved at Yang Yi and the others. “Uncle Yang, Uncle Huang, goodbye. Let’s part ways here. See you again.”

Su Xiaolu did not plan to stay in this inn.

After saying goodbye to Yang Yi and the others, Su Xiaolu prepared to leave.

Li Kuo hurriedly chased after her and invited, “Miss Zhao, why are you in Changzhou? If you don’t mind, I’m willing to help. My Li family has been rooted in Changzhou for a hundred years. As long as your matter is related to Changzhou, I can definitely help you.”

Su Xiaolu stopped in her tracks and looked at Li Kuo seriously.

She guessed that Li Kuo should be in his twenties.

He had drunk a lot. He wasn’t drunk, but there was a blush on his face.

Su Xiaolu looked at him and said, “Can I ask about everything?”

Li Kuo looked at Su Xiaolu’s suddenly cute appearance and felt his face heat up. He nodded repeatedly. “Anything.”

In the end, he said, “Miss Zhao, if you don’t mind, you can stay at my house for the time being.”

Bu Mo widened his eyes and thought to himself, Young Master is really crazy.

This was only the first time they had met.

He admitted that this girl called Zhao Xiaolu was good-looking and attractive, but Young Master shouldn’t do this.

Su Xiaolu smiled. “Young Master Li, thank you. If you don’t mind, I’ll have to trouble you.”

Li Kuo burst with joy and invited Su Xiaolu to the Li Residence.

Su Xiaolu followed with a smile.

When they arrived at the Li Residence, Su Xiaolu saw a beautiful woman waiting not far away.

Li Kuo had already run over with a smile and whispered a few words to the beautiful woman. The beautiful woman felt a little helpless and her expression softened.

Su Xiaolu walked up and greeted politely, “Hello, Madam. My name is Zhao Xiaolu. Sorry to disturb you.”

Madam Chu smiled gently at Su Xiaolu. “Kuo’er has already told me about you. I hope you can understand.”

After Madam Chu finished speaking, she glanced at Li Kuo angrily. “For Miss Zhao’s sake, I’ll let you off today.”

Madam Chu smiled at Su Xiaolu. “It’s getting late. I won’t disturb your rest.”

Madam Chu left with the maidservants.

Li Kuo arranged a place for Su Xiaolu to stay.

After Su Xiaolu settled down, Li Kuo politely bade farewell and returned to his courtyard.

Su Xiaolu fell asleep. After thinking for a moment, she entered the Space and took out an Interface Stone from under Mantis Shrimp.

“I’ll use this stone to ask around tomorrow.”

Su Xiaolu touched the reluctant Mantis Shrimp. In their eyes, it looked like a hard stone, but in the eyes of Mantis Shrimp, it was a delicious food.

“Fine.”

Mantis Shrimp nodded reluctantly. He told himself that she took out this Interface Stone to exchange for more Interface Stones.

Su Xiaolu touched Mantis Shrimp and left the Space to rest.

The next morning, Su Xiaolu woke up and Li Kuo was also here.

He accompanied Su Xiaolu to breakfast.

“Miss Zhao, you said yesterday that you had something to do. What is it?”

Li Kuo asked gently.

Su Xiaolu took out a bumpy stone. “Young Master Li, I’m looking for this stone. Have you seen it before? Do you know where to find it?”

Li Kuo held the stone in his hand and looked at it again and again. His expression was puzzled. “I think I’ve seen it before, but I’m not sure.”

He felt that he had an impression of it, but the stone in his impression was smooth.

Su Xiaolu immediately reacted and said, “This stone was originally smooth.”

Li Kuo was enlightened. “Oh, I remember now. There’s one in the strange lake outside Changzhou City. Miss Zhao, why are you looking for this? This stone looks special, but it’s actually worthless. There’s no way to polish and excavate it.”

Li Kuo looked puzzled. “Miss Zhao, why isn’t your stone smooth anymore?”

When it was so smooth, when they were first discovered, they thought that it was good stuff. The craftsmen were prepared to polish it into inkstones and other artifacts, but they could not make it. They could only forget about it. Many officials had placed one or two pieces at home, but these were just stones. Later on, they threw them all away. The piece Su Xiaolu took out was clearly marked.

Li Kuo was a little curious about how she did it, but he couldn’t come to like this stone. It turned out that it was the same inside and outside. It was difficult to chisel it open, and it had no value at all.
