One could be austere if he had no selfish desires.
Honestly speaking, Bai Qiuxue was an excellent young lady. A mild-mannered good girl, fine match for the gentleman. Still, Lu Li knew who he was. He had no mind of wooing Bai Qiuxue.
First of all, he wouldn’t join the Bai Family. Second, he could not reveal his identity of being a disciple of the Lu Family. Third, Madam Yan had mentioned that Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were to marry warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. Lu Li was not so ambitious that he believed he could reach the Human Sovereign Realm.
He had too many things anyway. He wouldn’t let romantic emotions get in his way before he could save his parents, or get Lu Ling back. Therefore, he had frozen his heart. All he had was pure admiration for Bai Qiuxue.
Since he had no romantic thoughts, he could look at Bai Qiuxue with eyes like limpid pools. He had not lust, no impulse or desire. He only regarded her as a beautiful lady.
