♂,
"Mother! There are so many! It really isn't safe for him to carry them around himself!" Dao He also helped explain, but Chu Yan still wore an expression that said she was determined to hit on her daughter.
Actually, the fact that she had used "hit on" instead of "seduce" already meant she was showing me tremendous consideration. Thus, facing her scolding, I could only smile wryly. "Auntie Chu, I really had no choice. I have no family connections here at the Divine Court's central hub. I only know Uncle Zhu and you, and I feel closest to you. Besides, Dao Qing and I have become friends during this time, so I wanted to discuss with him whether I could store these immortal-qi discs at his place..."
Although Chu Yan's expression softened when she saw me being so meek, she still said, "They're only some immortal-qi discs. Is there really any need for all that? Give the things to us. Your Uncle Zhu and Dao Qing aren't home, and the household is full of women. It's inconvenient for you to come here, so go do whatever you ought to be doing. Anyway, I simply don't want to see you hitting on my daughters! Their reputations aren't good right now, but as time passes, people will forget. Of course, that's provided you don't come looking for them again! If you need anything, have Dao Qing pass on the message in the future!"
My expression was rather awkward, but clearly, getting Chu Yan to change her opinion of me immediately would not be easy. Carrying so many immortal-qi discs around was inconvenient as well. Since I could not go to the Zhu household, I could only have the two accompanying guards help carry the boxes containing the discs into the cloud
