Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 266 City Lord’s Mansion

The chief steward hurriedly ordered the maids standing behind him to pour spirit wine for the guests at each table.

After dinner, everyone was taken to another courtyard under the guidance of the servants of the City Lord's Mansion.

The yard is filled with lanterns at night, and what's lit in the lanterns are not fire, but pearls that glow in the night.

The Night Pearl is worthless in the world of cultivation, and its only function is to provide lighting.

This is a large garden, and the scenery is unique under the illumination of the night pearl.

Han Xin, Shi Yan and a few of his former classmates found a pavilion and sat down. As they were discussing the Four Arts, two young male and female monks came and stood in front of them.

"Daoist Lu Yue."

Han Xin and others stood up and greeted each other.

She and Shi Yan didn't know anyone from Lu Yue, but someone knew him, so wouldn't everyone just greet him along with them?

Moreover, the other party's surname is Lu, and the city lord's surname is also Lu. After thinking for a while, everyone probably knew the other party's identity.

"Everyone, please stop being so distant and sit down."

The young male cultivator greeted everyone with a smile, then pulled the female cultivator standing next to him to sit next to him.

The young male cultivator introduced himself. It turned out that he was the young master of the City Lord’s Mansion and the second son of the Young City Lord.

"Isn't Brother Lu Yue busy today? How come you have time to come here?"

The person asking the questions was Fan Jin, the second place winner of the weapon refining group. He also lived in Longcheng, but he was just a casual cultivator.

He knew Lu Yue, but they had never met before and were not familiar with each other.

It can be said that no one in their circle of ten people was familiar with the young master of the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, the young master of the City Lord's Mansion came over, which really made him very curious.

"Haha. My mission today is to chat with you. By the way," Lu Yue pointed at the beautiful female cultivator next to him and said, "This is my second uncle's little daughter, my little cousin, Lu Ting. Ting'er, meet all the senior uncles and senior brothers and sisters."

The beautiful female cultivator was only at the initial stage of foundation building, while the ten people present had at least the late stage of foundation building.

Lu Ting stood up with a red face and greeted everyone one by one.

Shi Yan frowned. That shy look from the female cultivator just now shouldn't have been directed at him, right?

"My cousin is quite introverted, I'm sorry to make you all laugh."

Alas, my cousin can’t change her blushing personality.

"Your sister is very cute. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer shy women. It is my honor to let us see such a cute and beautiful little sister today, haha."

"Haha..." Lu Yue was naturally happy that his cousin was praised.

The monks here are all the top one or two winners of this year's Four Arts Competition. The fact that they were able to stand out from tens of thousands of contestants shows that they are all people of real talent.

Besides the two female cultivators and the three slightly older male cultivators, the other five were all young and handsome. If any of them could be attracted to my little cousin, it would be a natural thing to bring them into the Lu family's camp. My little cousin was beautiful, and she was shy and weak, which was a character that many male cultivators liked.

Monks spend their days either fighting or in seclusion. If they can have a satisfactory Taoist companion who cares about them and is of high status, who would not like it?
Thinking of this, Lu Yue glanced at several young handsome men one by one, and was stunned for a moment when his eyes fell on Shi Yan.

Are these two a couple?
A flash of disappointment appeared in Lu Yue's eyes.

What a pity, Shi Yan is one of his most valued future brothers-in-law.

Shi Yan is young, the youngest of all the male cultivators present. Although he is young, his cultivation has reached the peak of the foundation-building stage, and he is handsome. He is his first choice among all the people here to be his brother-in-law.

How come he has a partner?

However, looking at the female cultivator holding hands with him, Lu Yue had to admit defeat. Although his little cousin was beautiful and gentle, her aptitude was a little lacking.

This female cultivator not only looks as good as my cousin, she is also much younger than my cousin. Most importantly, at such a young age, she has already reached the late stage of foundation building.

Except for the fact that I don't know about the other party's family background, generally speaking, she is better than my little cousin in every way.

It's a pity that he already has a female cultivator he likes. Otherwise, for the sake of the City Lord's Mansion, he might really have taken on the task arranged by the family, formed a Taoist partner with one of the female cultivators, and added talent to the family.

Since I have someone I like, the difficult task of arranging a marriage can only be accomplished by my younger cousin.

At this age, Lu Yue did not want his weak little cousin to suffer in the future. Since the first choice he had chosen had already found his own home, he set his sights on the second choice.

Although the second candidate is much older than the first, he is already a Jindan-stage cultivator and has an outstanding appearance. My little cousin has the support of the City Lord's Mansion, so I believe that little sister Tang will not have a bad life in the future.

So he shifted his gaze from Shi Yan and Han Xin's clasped hands and looked at the second candidate he had chosen.

Shi Yan and Han Xin both have keen senses. As soon as the cousins ​​from the City Lord's Mansion arrived, they felt that they were intentionally or unintentionally keeping their eyes on Shi Yan. As the parties involved, how could Shi Yan not notice it?
Han Xin, who was very close to him, also noticed it.

When everyone was praising Lu Ting for being pretty and cute, Shi Yan and Han Xin noticed that there was something wrong with each other's gazes.

Why do you think she blushed? Isn't it because of Shi Yan?
That's fine, it's normal for a little girl to like a good-looking guy, but the way Lu Yue looked at him just now, as if he was a family member, was wrong.

This is why when Lu Yue looked over, he saw Shi Yan and Han Xin holding hands.

They wanted Lu Yue to give up the unrealistic ideas in his mind.

Seeing that Lu Yue finally turned his attention to other people, Han Xin was about to break free from Shi Yan's hand, but at this moment, she saw Lu Ting turn her head and look at them, so she immediately gave up the idea of ​​retracting her hand.

Lu Ting was excited. Her cousin was so nice. If she could achieve her wish, she would definitely thank him afterwards.

Her heart was filled with joy, but when she saw those clasped hands, her face suddenly turned pale.

How could this happen? How could they be together?
She finally mustered up the courage to come with her cousin, but the answer she got was the scene she least wanted to see.

Ever since she went to the outer city to watch the four arts competition and saw Shi Yan's performance, she has remembered him.

Every day when she had free time, she would always think of Shi Yan's calmness in the face of honor or disgrace during the competition, his handsome face, and his cold expression. She liked him in every way and could never forget him.

Because she wanted to see him so much, she went to watch Shi Yan's matches several times. Unfortunately, there were too many contestants and Shi Yan's position was too far back, so she could only see his back as he hurriedly left the arena after his match was over.
