Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1541: Chapter 1541: Lu Liyu

Lu Liyu, at the age of twenty, ascended to the initial realm of the Golden Core stage, making her unique among her peers in the Flower Pavilion.

Therefore, this time when she came to Zixia Mountain for training, Lu Liyu also received a spot.

Fang Bai’s exclamation momentarily attracted the attention of other Martial Artists present and made Lu Liyu notably focused on Fang Bai.

Fang Bai’s handsome appearance, exceptional temperament, and especially the familiar Martial Artist Aura emanating from him all made Lu Liyu feel a strong desire to approach him.

"Who is that man? Judging from his behavior just now, it seems he regards me as someone familiar to him?"

Watching Fang Bai’s departing back, Lu Liyu felt a sudden twinge of sadness for some inexplicable reason.

"Junior Sister Lu, long time no see, how have you been?"

Just then, a young disciple from Zixia Manor walked up to Lu Liyu and asked with a smile.

That Zixia Manor disciple, named Qiu Guangxuan, was the youngest son of Qiu Jianren and an Innate Spiritual Root Expert.

Qiu Guangxuan’s status in Zixia Manor was equivalent to Lu Liyu’s status in the Flower Pavilion; both were outstanding among the younger generation in their respective sects, and both were the focus of their sects’ nurturing.

Lu Liyu, with her slender figure, peerless beauty, and extraordinary temperament, was known as the "number one beauty" among the many prominent clans in the region within a hundred thousand miles, receiving admiration from many suitors.

And Qiu Guangxuan from Zixia Manor was one of the many admirers pursuing Lu Liyu.

Qiu Guangxuan shared similar talent and position with Lu Liyu and was decent in appearance, thus considered the most hopeful among her many suitors to win the lady’s heart.

However, although Lu Hongyun intended to match her adopted daughter with Qiu Guangxuan, Lu Liyu seemed uninterested in Qiu Guangxuan, repeatedly rejecting his declarations of love, citing her focus on cultivation.

Qiu Guangxuan was shameless and, despite numerous rejections, tirelessly expressed his affection. noveldrama

Qiu Guangxuan understood the principle that "a sincere heart can overcome obstinate barriers," believing that as long as he persevered, he would eventually move Lu Liyu to open her heart to him.

Seeing Lu Liyu arriving, Qiu Guangxuan was delighted and immediately approached to chat.

"Oh, Senior Brother Qiu, hello."

Lu Liyu gave Qiu Guangxuan a glance and replied indifferently, with a demeanor that kept others at a distance.

Qiu Jianren observed the interaction, slightly furrowed his brows, and cast a casual glance at his son, feeling a mixture of disappointment.

To Qiu Jianren, his youngest son’s talent, appearance, and figure complemented Lu Liyu perfectly; they couldn’t be more suited for each other. Yet, Lu Liyu seemed aloof and disdainful toward his son, which made him simmer with silent anger.

Qiu Jianren had advised his son to give up on Lu Liyu, telling him that there were plenty of exceptional women in this world, and he needn’t focus solely on Lu Liyu.

Regrettably, his youngest son was stubborn, showing a deep affection for Lu Liyu, even declaring he would marry no one but her.

Qiu Jianren was very indulgent of this youngest son and couldn’t bear to reprimand him, so he let him be, thinking that once he faced enough rejection, he would eventually change his mind.

Though he thought this way, seeing Lu Liyu’s indifferent attitude towards his son made him look displeased, and he let out a snort.

As for Lu Hongyun, she originally favored Qiu Guangxuan, but since her adopted daughter didn’t like him, she couldn’t say much.

Lu Hongyun was not someone who couldn’t reason; she could manage Lu Liyu’s cultivation.

But in emotional matters, Lu Hongyun insisted on letting things happen naturally and was unwilling to force her adopted daughter.

Therefore, facing Qiu Jianren’s anger, Lu Hongyun just responded with a wry smile, not blaming Lu Liyu.

Even though Qiu Guangxuan received a cold face from Lu Liyu, he wasn’t angry at all and continued to chat with a smiling face.

Lu Liyu was distractedly dealing with Qiu Guangxuan while her gaze kept drifting toward the distant Fang Bai.

"Who is that man? Why is she constantly looking at him? Could it be..."

Qiu Guangxuan followed Lu Liyu’s gaze to Fang Bai, a sudden realization hitting him, then asked with an uneasy smile: "Junior Sister Lu, do you know that person?"

"Ah?"

Lu Liyu was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes rolled and she said, "Oh... We are sort of acquainted!"

In truth, Lu Liyu and Fang Bai had only a brief encounter and didn’t actually know each other, but seeing Qiu Guangxuan’s stiff smile, she felt unspeakable satisfaction, so she answered ambiguously.

As expected, Qiu Guangxuan’s expression turned uglier, his voice a bit low, and he asked coldly, "Who is he?"

Lu Liyu replied, "He is... Why should I tell you? Qiu Guangxuan, I’ll warn you, you are not to target him."

She shouldn’t have said that, because upon those words, an unspeakable jealousy flared up inside Qiu Guangxuan.

"Junior Sister Lu, it seems... you really care about him!"

Qiu Guangxuan’s gaze fell on the distant Fang Bai, and the smile had long vanished from his face.

Lu Liyu had deliberately blurred her relationship with Fang Bai to prevent Qiu Guangxuan from further bothering her, but if Qiu Guangxuan took it out on Fang Bai, that wasn’t her intention.

Lu Liyu’s warning was sincere, not just idle talk. If Qiu Guangxuan went to find trouble with Fang Bai, she wouldn’t stand idly by.

Lu Liyu sensed that Qiu Guangxuan’s anger level was rising, and she was about to explain that she and Fang Bai didn’t actually know each other, but Qiu Guangxuan had already stridden forward toward Fang Bai.

"Qiu Guangxuan, what are you doing?"

Lu Liyu hurried a few steps to catch up with Qiu Guangxuan and asked in a low voice.

Qiu Guangxuan replied coldly, "What’s the matter, seeing me going to trouble that man, does your heart ache? Feeling reluctant?"

"You..."

"Did I guess right?"

Seeing Lu Liyu seething with anger, her face pale, and her body trembling, Qiu Guangxuan’s jealousy grew even stronger, thinking he had guessed correctly. He suddenly grabbed Lu Liyu by the shoulders and asked sternly: "Tell me, is that man your beloved? Is he your little lover?"

Not waiting for Lu Liyu to respond, he raised his voice again: "Don’t try to argue! The way you looked at that man was full of affection, I don’t believe there was nothing between you! Ha, I thought you were a pure and spotless woman, but it turns out you’re a fickle, unfaithful woman!"

"Slap!"

Qiu Guangxuan’s last sentence utterly infuriated Lu Liyu, and she swiftly raised her hand, giving Qiu Guangxuan a solid slap across the face.

Caught off guard, Qiu Guangxuan cried out in pain, his body flying out and falling to the ground.

"Qiu Guangxuan! You... you... you despicable! Shameless!"

Lu Liyu was so angry that tears streamed down her face, her jade-like finger pointing at the stunned Qiu Guangxuan, trembling all over as if she were sieved.
