Luo Bi mercilessly suppressed her nature, and Jiang Zhu smiled. Luo Bi was upright and straightforward in most situations, and Jiang Zhu was already used to it: "You still don’t believe me? I’m speaking from the heart."
"Don’t give me that. How much does righteousness and loyalty weigh in interstellar coins per pound?" Luo Bi sneered: "Don’t put such vague and lofty hats on me, be careful not to fool me into being stupid. I don’t want to be a righteous and loyal person."
She continued with a resentful tone: "Righteousness and loyalty require sacrifice. I won’t give a single eyelash to anyone, let alone sacrifice. I’d rather die than do that."
"You! This temper." Luo Bi could sometimes be very cold-blooded, and Jiang Zhu really believed it. She shook her head and started to worry about the Luo family: "Hua Ran’s condition can be saved with a third-grade spirit medicine, but it’s expensive. Even if the Third Legion has it, they won’t give it to someone who has been discarded. What a pity." Hua Ran was an S-grade strong gene Thunder Flame Warrior, and to be destroyed like this…
Jiang Zhu was truly regretful: "Without a third-grade spirit medicine, he can only rely on potions and low-grade spirit medicines to sustain his life. Even if you use all your savings, it will only be a drop in the bucket, and in the end, he won’t be saved."
After saying all this, Jiang Zhu concluded: "You should keep your savings. Even if you take them out, they won’t last long."
Even though Jiang Zhu admired Hua Ran, she still prioritized reality. Spending money to prolong the life of someone who won’t live long is a waste.
Luo Bi’s hand paused, and she looked up at Jiang Zhu, wanting to say something but stopping. She wanted to tell Jiang Zhu that she had the ability to prolong Hua Ran’s life. At that moment, she almost revealed her awakening, but fortunately, she retained her rationality. The thought only lasted a few seconds before she suppressed it and continued working.
Jiang Zhu, being slow to react, didn’t notice Luo Bi’s abnormality.
Wu Yue, after dismissing a group of guests, came to the studio, listened for a moment, and interjected: "I heard from Jiang Zhu that you plan to use your saved interstellar coins to buy Tranquility Powder? Hua Ran’s strong genes are severely damaged. To treat him, he needs long-term nourishment with spirit medicines. Your interstellar coins won’t make much of a difference. I advise you not to waste them."
He paused and continued: "Hua Ran is your stepmother’s son. It’s not worth it to spend all your family’s savings on him." He said as much as he could, and any more would be too much.
Luo Bi sighed: "I understand the logic, but my stepmother wasn’t chosen by my father; I chose her for my father. Now that they are in our family, it doesn’t seem right to ignore them when something happens!"
"You..." Wu Yue was frustrated: "You seem smart most of the time, but why are you so confused now? If you spend all your family’s interstellar coins on Tranquility Powder, how will you live in the future? Will you drink the northwestern wind?"
Luo Bi fell silent. Drinking the northwestern wind was not a concern. With her awakened abilities, supporting the entire family was not a problem, and she could even save Hua Ran’s life. However, Luo Bi didn’t want others to know about her awakening and had deliberately hidden it for years. She didn’t want to reveal it unless absolutely necessary.
While lost in thought, her terminal beeped. She looked at her wrist and saw it was her fiancé, Hua Chen, inviting her to meet at the Fragrant Pavilion, which belonged to the Thunder Flame Warriors.
Luo Bi and Hua Chen were part of a family alliance and rarely met. After ending the call, Luo Bi was puzzled; Hua Chen had never invited her at this time before.
Wu Yue was easy to talk to. Hearing that Hua Chen had invited Luo Bi, he readily agreed: "Go quickly and come back soon."
