Chapter 779: Chapter 321 Sometimes, people should be a little braver. _3

Luo Chen took out a bottle and handed it to Qin Liangchen, who stood in surprise beside him.

Patting Qin Liangchen’s arm, Luo Chen said, “Don’t let the matters about your hand give you too much burden during your breakthrough. At least, your life can be saved.”

Having his recent concerns pointed out, Qin Liangchen couldn’t help but feel bashful.

But holding that jade bottle, he could finally exhale a sigh of relief.

It was undeniable that Luo Chen’s gift deeply touched his heart.

He was moved and said, “Thank you!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, gracefully accepting this gratitude.

Then, he shifted his gaze to Gu Caiyi, who had been standing on the side and had not said a word.

She had been staring at Luo Chen all along.

Now that Luo Chen looked back, she subconsciously shifted her gaze in another direction.

But just after shifting it, she suddenly felt a wave of melancholy in her heart.

Why am I trying to avoid?

She forced herself to face Luo Chen’s scrutinizing gaze.

In her ears, came Luo Chen’s approving words.

“Not bad, your spirit power fluctuations have become much more profound than before. In another year or two, you can reach the finalization of the Qi Refinement Stage and your Foundation Establishment Stage can be expected!”

The same clichéd words as always.

Gu Caiyi bit her red lip, uttering a statement that startled Qin Liangchen, “Don’t you have anything else to say to me?”

Luo Chen was taken aback, and then caught the implied meaning.

Under Gu Caiyi’s expectant gaze, he also took out a jade bottle and pushed it into her palm.

“As always, one pill per month, use the method I gave you to slowly absorb the medicine’s power.”

After finishing speaking, he nodded to them both and entered the Hui Xin Hall.

The difference in brightness between the inside and outside of the hall seemed to submerge his retreating figure.

It was as if it had also drowned Gu Caiyi’s heart.

She clenched the bottle containing the Lower Grade Jade Dew Pill tightly, her face deathly pale.

Qin Liangchen was a simple-minded fellow, but not a fool.

Especially since he was an outsider, he could see things more clearly than others.

Seeing her appearance, he immediately understood what the woman was probably thinking about.

He shook his head and said nonchalantly as he walked away:

“People, should be brave sometimes.”

“When it’s my turn to establish a foundation, I can’t hesitate, and I can’t retreat, so that I won’t disappoint the hopes Luo Chen has for me.”

Gu Caiyi was stunned, and when she looked up, Qin Liangchen had already walked far away.

She turned back and looked at the immovable Hui Xin Hall, finally resting her gaze on the jade bottle in her hand.

“Am I too cowardly?”

“Clearly, I was the first, whether in getting to know him or living in the same yard. But why was I defeated by someone quicker?”

“I was not like this before.”

“When did I start feeling inferior in front of him?”

Her thoughts churned like waves.

Each step she took was immensely heavy.

…

Inside the Hui Xin Hall.

Sima Huiniang was looking at Luo Chen, her smile suggested she was both amused and not amused.

“Did you give them Jade Dew Pills?”

Luo Chen breezily squeezed next to her seat, nudging her plump bottom over.

“What, are you jealous?”

“Hehe, when do I have the time or dare to be jealous of the president, you!”

Luo Chen snorted, “Yes, I gave her Jade Dew Pills, but they are only the lower grade. Caiyi’s current state is not enough to digest a higher one. Even for these Lower Grade Jade Dew Pills, she must take a long time to digest one.”

Sima Huiniang sighed in resignation.

She knew very well the relationship between Luo Chen and Gu Caiyi.

While he was still serving as the president of Luo Tian Creed at Crescent Valley, she often saw Gu Caiyi peeling melon seeds for Luo Chen during their exchanges about cultivation insights.

Such intimate scenes had long declared the two’s deep relationship.

“Actually, you don’t need to explain to me. I don’t care about these things.”

“Then what do you care about?” Luo Chen turned her face to look at her, staring at her. “Your elder brother Sima Xian’s breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage has failed, and his life is in danger. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Sima Huiniang’s face became dark immediately.

Looking at Luo Chen’s concerned expression, she murmured, “Everyone has their own destiny. You have given enough. I can’t bother you over this minor matter.”

Luo Chen snorted.

“I know you’ve always been avoiding suspicion, but Sima Xian is not just your older brother, he’s also the Hall Master of my Luo Tian Creed’s Combat Hall.”

“Let’s go!”

“Take me to him.”
