Chapter 126: One hundred twenty-five, discuss cooperation Chapter 126: One hundred twenty-five, discuss cooperation Luo Qianyu felt an indescribable feeling inside her heart, warm and a little sour.

She took a deep breath and smiled fondly at Luo Shu, “Don’t worry! I’ll protect you well.” His voice was gentle, yet it carried a firm determination. How could he let her down when Luo Shu trusted them so much?

After dinner, Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu continued to make pills. With so many people in Cloud City, the pills they made yesterday would definitely not be enough.

After being busy for three days straight, the poisoning incident in Cloud City was finally resolved satisfactorily.

For a time, the entire Cloud City was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, noisy with the sound of gongs and drums, as lively as the New Year celebrations.

When they had some free time, Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu played chess in the courtyard. The December wind was bone-chillingly cold, but it didn’t affect the two of them at all.

“I won again!” Luo Shu said proudly, looking at Luo Qianyu. Her father was excellent at everything but was terrible at chess, so she and her grandfather often teased him about it.

“Can’t you go easy on me a little?” Luo Qianyu said dejectedly. He had lost all five games he played with Luo Shu. It was one thing for the old man at home to be formidable, but to be outplayed at chess by a girl younger than him felt like bullying!

“If you have the ability, win against me on your own. You’re not a child anymore. Asking me to let you win is just shameful!” Luo Shu teased Luo Qianyu with a cheeky face.

Why did that sound so familiar? Luo Qianyu thought for a moment and immediately remembered it was what his father said to him after winning a game a few days ago. He hadn’t expected Luo Shu to say the exact same thing as his father—it was quite the coincidence. He wondered, who would be better at chess, his father or Luo Shu? Actually, he rather hoped that Luo Shu could beat his old man.

“Luo Shu, who taught you how to play chess?” Luo Qianyu asked, his curiosity piqued. Given Luo Shu’s background, she shouldn’t have had access to such pursuits. He had thought that getting to know Luo Shu would mean seeing her clearly, but the more he spent time with her, the more puzzled he became.

For example, how had Luo Shu come into contact with Ancient Martial Arts? And her chess skills, her calligraphy, her unique insights into many things—they all surprised him.

“My grandfather taught me,” Luo Shu said with a smile. Among her father’s three children, she was the one with the most talent for chess. However, she still fell slightly short of her grandfather.

“My father is also very skilled at chess. When you come to my house, you should challenge him. It would be great if you could beat him,” Luo Qianyu said with a sly smile. He really wanted to see his old man’s expression if he lost a game of chess.

“Alright! I will do my best,” Luo Shu replied with a smile, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. She hadn’t played chess with her grandfather for a long time. She really wanted to play chess with him and was looking forward to meeting him even more.

Right after they had lunch, Zhou Xuemei sent someone to invite Luo Shu to the Zhou Family as a guest.

Luo Shu knew it had to be about the Snow Skin Cream, “Brother, let’s go together.” Her father had suddenly proposed to recognize her as his god-sister yesterday, leaving her utterly incredulous at the time. If her father knew that in her previous life she was his daughter, what would he feel?

However, she was quite willing to become his god-sister. If they couldn’t be real relatives in this life, being a god-sister was still better than having no relation at all. The idea of transforming from daughter to sister was incredible to her.

“Sure!” Luo Qianyu agreed. Luo Shu had already discussed this matter with him, and he found her idea interesting and was considering investing.

Of course, his interest in investing also included a desire to help Luo Shu. Now without any backing, she might become a target, with people forcing her to reveal the formula for Snow Skin Cream.

Perhaps with Luo Shu’s capabilities, no one could really harm her, but if someone threatened the people around her, what choice would she have then?

Of course, Luo Shu could ask Lu Hanmo to intervene, but once Lu Hanmo got involved, it would mean the Lu family stepping in. Then, no matter how outstanding Luo Shu was in the future, in the eyes of the Lu family, she would always be a step below. This was what he didn’t want to see.

Upon arriving at Zhou Xuemei’s house, they saw a man and a woman sitting in the living room. Judging by their attire and demeanor, it was clear that they were people of status.

“Luo Shu is here, please have a seat!” Zhou Xuemei greeted them with a smile. Upon seeing Luo Qianyu beside Luo Shu, she paused briefly, “And who might this be?” The man’s aura suggested he was from a wealthy family.

“He’s my newly recognized brother, Luo Qianyu,” Luo Shu introduced.

“So you’re her brother. Please come in and have a seat!” Zhou Xuemei said warmly, ushering them to the sofa.

“These two are my good friends, Song Zongheng and Yan Moxiang. They’ve come to discuss the Snow Skin Cream with you. Zongheng, Moxiang, this is the Little Divine Doctor, the creator of the Snow Skin Cream,” Zhou Xuemei introduced them with a smile, simultaneously making it clear why they were there.

Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu exchanged a knowing glance. These two were indeed influential figures. The Yan Family, Song Family, and Lu family were the three major families in the capital, each as powerful as the other. Ordinary people would hardly be a match for them.
