Chapter 134 Praise
Perhaps it was because Su Yue's gaze was too intense and focused that it landed directly on the man in front of her.
So much so that the man in front of her became somewhat embarrassed by her direct gaze.
He lowered his head slightly and coughed twice to cover his embarrassment: "Ahem~ This humble servant greets the Immortal Envoy."
The speaker was Lu Liang, who was now bowing and greeting Su Yue with feigned composure.
In fact, Lu Liang had met Su Yue once before, when they were outside the capital.
At that time, Su Yue disguised herself as a deity and delivered life-saving food to the displaced refugees.
Upon seeing Su Yue again today, a unique emotion welled up within him.
"Hehe~ No need for formalities, please sit down, let's sit and chat slowly. Qiaoxiang, go and get some delicious food."
Su Yue greeted Lu Liang with a warm smile and invited him to take a seat.
In no time, Qiaoxiang quickly brought over several plates of beautifully made snacks and carefully brewed a pot of steaming hot tea.
With a delighted expression, Su Yue gently pushed one of the plates of hibiscus cakes toward Lu Liang and smiled, gesturing for him to try it.
Before coming here, Lu Liang had been secretly wondering what kind of person this immortal envoy was.
Why would His Majesty suddenly tell him that the celestial messenger had returned and that his first priority upon returning was to summon him?
After thinking it over, he felt that it was very likely related to the construction of the Star-Picking Tower.
After all, last time I only caught a glimpse from afar and saw a blurry figure; the distance was too great to see its true appearance.
However, to Lu Liang's utter surprise, the person he had always felt grateful to and missed was actually such a young girl!
Su Yue simply enjoys looking at beautiful women.
At this very moment, she was staring intently at Lu Liang, who was eating, her eyes filled with admiration and fascination. Lu Liang chewed his food elegantly, every movement so pleasing to the eye that Su Yue found it all a pleasure.
My mind is racing, this is so beautiful!
"Um, what brings you here?" Su Yue still couldn't remember who the man in front of her was.
This question nearly choked the man opposite him. "Cough cough~ cough cough~ Didn't the celestial envoy tell His Majesty that he wanted to see me?"
Seeing the man coughing incessantly, Su Yue thought he was a sickly person.
Upon hearing that he said it was she and Mu Yuqing who had asked him to come, Su Yue suddenly remembered the person who built the Star-Picking Tower.
He nodded in sudden realization, then looked the man up and down again.
So this is the person in front of her! You can't judge a book by its cover; she initially thought he was an old man!
I never expected him to be such a handsome man.
He was not only exceptionally handsome, but also possessed a morbid beauty, like a flower swaying in the wind, making him all the more endearing.
But it's alright, in order to prevent the beauty from dying, I can still try my best to save him.
"Oh~ I remember now, Lu Liang, right, Lu Liang." Su Yue was still a little embarrassed.
They were the ones who sent the people, yet they still asked them why they came.
Lu Liangcai wouldn't expose the fact that Su Yuecai had just remembered herself; he just thought the little girl in front of him was somewhat cute.
Although she looked at him blankly, he could tell it was only with appreciation, appreciation for beautiful things. It wasn't the kind of gaze that was aggressive or disgusting.
He was an adorable child from a young age, with a handsome appearance.
His village has been a place where people have made a living through construction skills for generations. This craft has been passed down from generation to generation and has a long history.
Despite his young age, he has shown amazing talent and ability in construction.
Whether it's the structural design of a house or the selection and matching of materials, he always comes up with ingenious ideas that are refreshing and eye-catching.
Over time, he became the most outstanding person in the entire village, the one who knew the most about design and construction.
When he grew up, his handsome appearance made women from all around him swoon.
Whether they are unmarried young women or married women, they can't help but cast their ardent gazes at him whenever they see him.
Her gaze was direct and fiery, making no attempt to hide her admiration for him, as if she couldn't wait to drag him into her house and spend the night with him.
Even worse, some girls will resort to all sorts of means in order to successfully marry him.
One of the girls pretended to fall into the water by the road he often passed, hoping to be rescued by him.
In this way, it would be perfectly reasonable for her to offer herself to him.
But who would have thought that Lu Liang didn't take that road that day, which led to the girl drowning in the river.
However, he was overwhelmed by these ravenous suitors.
To escape their relentless harassment, his father had no choice but to move his entire family to a place at the foot of the mountain, a little further from the village.
He thought he could finally live a peaceful life, but to his surprise, even so, many women still came looking for him after hearing the news.
To completely escape these disturbances, he simply stayed indoors all day and devoted himself to studying construction techniques.
With his extraordinary talent and tireless efforts, his construction skills improved day by day, reaching a level of consummate skill.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and at that very moment, a sudden drought swept in.
In order to survive, the villagers fled to other places. Because his family lived in a remote area, they were relatively isolated from the news. By the time they found out, the surrounding area had already been devastated and not even a drop of water could be found.
So the family hastily embarked on their journey to escape the famine. They endured wind and rain, sleeping in the open along the way, and finally arrived in Kyoto. Of the original eighteen members of the family, only he remained, all alone, barely surviving in the world.
"You're really good-looking." Su Yue held a steaming cup of tea in her hands, her gaze fixed on the person in front of her.
Lu Liang was taken aback by Su Yue's straightforward and undisguised words, and his fair ears instantly turned as red as ripe apples.
He lowered his head, somewhat at a loss, not daring to meet Su Yue's gaze.
"Ahem~" To ease the awkward atmosphere, Lu Liang quickly reached for the tea on the table, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
However, because he drank too quickly, he accidentally choked and started coughing violently.
This was the first time in his life that someone had praised him in such a direct way.
Seeing Lu Liang's embarrassed yet adorable appearance, Su Yue almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She thought to herself: This person is so funny! He's not young at all, but he's still so shy and timid.
After calming herself down a bit, Su Yue smiled and said to Lu Liang, "I'm very satisfied with this Star-Picking Tower. What reward would you like?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Liang raised his head, his clear eyes looking at Su Yue, and respectfully replied, "This humble servant has no desires. Gaining the Immortal Envoy's approval is enough. The Immortal Envoy's satisfaction is the greatest reward for this humble servant."
