Chapter 472 Suspicion (1)
h there are many people, they also quickly entered their seats in an orderly manner. Xiangyao noticed that it seemed to be full, and wondered where his own place was... It's three o'clock now, please...Chapter 472 Suspicion 1
"What happened to you" Leisurely Wanderer asked.
"Drinking!" Luo Yuntian didn’t answer the question; he simply picked up that jar of wine and drank it all, as if this was his way of saying that he didn’t want to talk about what happened.
Leisurely Wanderer seemed to understand that this matter might make Luo Yuntian very sad because he could feel the sadness. It seemed like Luo Yuntian was using alcohol to suppress such feelings now.
If it were just worries, Leisurely Wanderer felt it could be due to an unhappy marriage with a wife who didn’t meet his expectations, leading him to not get what he needed in their marital life.
This situation wasn’t unusual; even with passionate love, such things might happen. However, this situation should just be a bit worrying, and even if one doesn’t want to face it, there shouldn’t be sadness involved.
Leisurely Wanderer was sure that something else had happened as well. He wanted to know what it was, but he couldn’t get anything out of the current Luo Yuntian now; he was only drinking and reciting poems, seemingly trying to vent his feelings.
Just when Leisurely Wanderer was puzzled, another person appeared and questioned him: "Who are you Why did you give him wine"
Leisurely Wanderer looked at the other person. She seemed to be a lady in her thirties with skin as white as snow that would not be inferior to any maiden’s, while her elegant and noble attire showed her high status.
"I’m called Leisurely Wanderer. I just wanted Mr. Luo to help me evaluate the wine. May I ask who you are" Leisurely Wanderer asked the lady.
Although he felt that this lady might be Luo Yuntian’s wife, Yun Qingyi, only she would inquire about Luo Yuntian’s matters, if it were indeed Yun Qingyi, why wouldn’t he feel anything This seemed a bit strange.
"I am Yun Qingyi. Are you one of the Lo family" The lady said; she was indeed Yun Qingyi.
Yun Qingyi How could this be…
"Yes, an outsider member of the Lo family, Leisurely Wanderer," replied Leisurely Wanderer.
"An outsider member, I don’t care who you are. Whether you’re the head of the Lo family or not, you may never give him wine again." Yun Qingyi said coolly but with an imperious tone that couldn’t be defied, showing her authority.
This was something even Luo Yuntian and Third Master didn’t have. Leisurely Wanderer seemed to understand some things; could this be the reason such a situation had occurred
"Immortal Jade…," Leisurely Wanderer prepared to say something but was interrupted when he only called her by her title.
"Call me Madam Lo!"
"Don’t call her Madam Lo. Call her Lady Yun, she hasn’t married into our family; it’s I who entered their Yun family," Luo Yuntian suddenly said from the side with a hint of alcohol in his voice.
Yun Qingyi’s face turned after hearing Luo Yuntian’s words, slightly dark and more painful.
Leisurely Wanderer saw this situation and was even more confused. What exactly was going on The information overload was too much!
Hearing that she hadn’t married into the Lo family made Leisurely Wanderer think of some things; could it be that Luo Yuntian entering the Yun family had been intentional Just what happened in this situation…
"Alright, Lady Yun!" Leisurely Wanderer finally chose to address her as per Luo Yuntian’s words. "If you don’t want me to give him wine, why do you let him continue drinking Does it have any meaning"
…" Yun Qingyi looked at Leisurely Wanderer in surprise; she didn’t expect the young man before her to refute what she said.
The statement wasn’t wrong though. Since I don’t stop him from drinking, does it matter if someone else gives him wine Stopping others from giving him wine wouldn’t make a difference either.
"I don’t want him to drink but I can’t stop him so all I can do is to stop others." Yun Qingyi said softly to Leisurely Wanderer, seemingly with some regret.
What was going on As his wife, why couldn’t she stop him from drinking Even if she couldn’t stop him from drinking, at the very least she could make him drink less. Was that not possible
Judging by the situation, she cared about him too but didn’t stop him; twenty years was coming up soon, and her husband had been in a slump for twenty years now. This wasn’t normal!
"But what you’re doing is meaningless. It’s better to drink my wine than others’, at least mine is better and won’t harm your body!" Leisurely Wanderer said.
The wine Leisurely Wanderer made focused on not harming the body, with many medicines mixed in; it wouldn’t harm anyone but was slightly beneficial for martial artists. Of course, ordinary people still couldn't handle it.
This wasn’t just because of Luo Yuntian’s situation either but also for Miss, who had an addiction to alcohol. When making wine for her, one must consider this aspect too.
"There's no such thing as a wine that doesn't harm the body," Yun Qingyi shook her head and said.
"My wine is different, my wine uses an ancient recipe with some medicinal herbs... From now on, Mr. Luo's wine should be provided by me; I can brew more for him," Free-and-Easy said.
"Are you brewing wine at the Luo family" Yun Qingyi asked Free-and-Easy directly. If his words were true, she could consider it, as there was nothing she could do to stop Luo Yuntian from drinking anyway.
"Not exactly, but I can!" Free-and-Easy replied. Brewing wine was just something he did on the side, but if necessary for Luo Yuntian, he would brew exclusively for him.
"I don't understand what you mean," Yun Qingyi directly asked her confusion, unsure of Free-and-Easy's statement.
"Right now I'm not doing this, but I can do it if necessary," Free-and-Easy truthfully replied.
"Oh, so that's the case. What benefits will you get from this" Yun Qingyi asked as she looked at Free-and-Easy; such a thing made her think Free-and-Easy had ulterior motives—she didn't believe he was just being kind out of nowhere.
"Benefits do exist, I want to see the Floating Cloud Sect's Floating Cloud Technique," Free-and-Easy said. Without proposing something in return, it would indeed be doubtful for him to offer such a thing; but if he were to propose something, might as well go big and make an impact.
The Floating Cloud Technique was one of the Floating Cloud Sect’s core techniques, with only inner circle members having access to its cultivation. Others could at most cultivate the first two levels.
"That's wishful thinking, even Yuntian doesn't have that right to see it. You should change your terms," Yun Qingyi directly rejected Free-and-Easy’s request; this was an impossible matter.
"Then how about the secret manual of Straight-Up Floating Cloud..." The Straight-Up Floating Cloud technique was one of the sect's core lightness techniques and also the strongest straight-up lightness skill in the world, with its peak allowing a person to rise over ten meters without external aid.
The value of such a manual could be imagined—it wasn’t as important as the Floating Cloud Technique but still quite close...
"That's impossible too. All I can teach you are the Floating Hand and the Floating Sword Arts," Yun Qingyi said.
These were not the Cloud Dragon’s techniques, which was Luo Yuntian’s signature skill; he could ask him directly about this if need be—Yun Qingyi really left no room for error here.
"I’ll think about that. Who knows Maybe I'll have something to ask for from Lady Yun in the future," Free-and-Easy said with a smile, dragging it out since he only needed an explanation and not the actual items to dispel her doubts.
"If you insist, then take your time thinking about it; as long as your wine is alright," Yun Qingyi said.
"That's natural!" Free-and-Easy replied. If possible, he could even use the wine to help Luo Yuntian regulate his body; wine was a wonderful thing that, used correctly, benefited one’s health.
"Yuntian, let's go," Yun Qingyi ignored Free-and-Easy and went over to support Luo Yuntian.
"Why are you still coming to look after me..." Luo Yuntian said with a tone of helplessness but did not refuse.
"I'm your wife, that's something that will never change," Yun Qingyi softly replied as she supported Luo Yuntian and left; the two seemed harmonious and well-adjusted.
Had his previous speculations been wrong Their relationship wasn't cold like it appeared on the surface; they had a marriage that made others envious.
Free-and-Easy was getting more confused—the matter was becoming convoluted!
A few days later, Free-and-Easy brewed many special wines for Luo Yuntian and often talked to him or drank with him in between. He wanted to get some answers about the past from Luo Yuntian, but every attempt failed; Luo Yuntian never spoke of it, only showing sadness when he did.
During these days, Free-and-Easy also met Yun Qingyi a few times and found that she was indeed an excellent wife and mother. Yinping had always been under her care, except she needed to look after Luo Yuntian as well, so Yinping got less attention.
From all aspects, Yun Qingyi seemed like a fine woman with a good relationship with Luo Yuntian; yet there was still some sort of barrier between them that Free-and-Easy couldn’t figure out.
"Yinping, how are your parents' relations" Free-and-Easy asked. He was currently helping Yinping cultivate and trying to improve her cultivation constitution and teach her the most suitable techniques.
Yinping's strength had been rapidly advancing recently—just after entering the General rank, she quickly reached mid-General; this made many people scratch their heads in wonder about whether she had eaten some precious materials.
Because Free-and-Easy told her not to mention him, Yinping didn't say anything and even Lingling knew nothing about it. But Lingling did know about the best medicinal pills Free-and-Easy gave Yinping, which explained Yinping's rapid advancement recently.
"Father and mother don’t talk much, but their relationship is good; they’ve never quarreled before, though I feel that’s not normal," Yinping answered Free-and-Easy's question.
"Where do you think it’s not normal" Free-and-Easy asked; he did find it somewhat abnormal as well. Perhaps Yinping could give him some insight.(To be continued...)with some confusion. He didn’t understand this matter; no one had for over a thousand years."Then did you not observe how they opened the passage With so many people coming and going, there’s no way y...
