Chapter 1567: Chapter 964: Three Men, One Show

"What? Nothing to say anymore?"

Fang Geyu withdrew her gaze and looked up at the female steward beside her.

"I accidentally spilled some wine on my clothes earlier. I will return to my room to change.

I leave these esteemed guests to Steward Qin to carefully entertain?"

Leaving the banquet halfway was clearly somewhat impolite.

But Qin Lou knew Fang Geyu’s temperament well.

If she did not acquiesce to her wishes at this moment, it was feared she would do something even more disrespectful.

She had no choice but to reluctantly reply, "The Third Miss might take some time to change her clothes, the evening banquet won’t be hosted by a maid."

Fang Geyu quietly watched her without speaking.

Qin Lou hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly said in a low voice, "Tonight, the City Lord will exit seclusion again to host the evening banquet."

Fang Geyu smirked slightly, "Steward Qin truly deserves to be Father’s most trusted and close aide.

His every word and deed, as a daughter, I do not understand as well as Steward Qin does."

Qin Lou’s expression stiffened slightly, but before she could speak, Fang Geyu had already taken up her sword and left.

The seemingly injured Rong Lijun, who had fallen at Baili An’s table, now looked completely untroubled, elegantly standing up while fanning himself.

The charming Immortal Lord sighed, "Ah, this banquet has been going on for so long, sitting inside the building is truly stifling.

Now that the host has left, why doesn’t Miss Qin arrange for some beautiful maids to lead us around and properly admire the gardens of the Third Miss’ residence?"

No need for Rong Lijun to suggest, Qin Lou also had this intention.

These young talents from the Immortal World were all proud masters.

Now, as they came to propose, Qin Lou had not imagined they would secretly compete with each other.

But she had not expected Rong Lijun to be a complete troublemaker.

Within a few words, he stirred up conflicts so difficult to resolve, even drawing swords at the banquet.

Now, having those noble disciples, each on their own, lead them elsewhere to stroll and appreciate the scenery, might help to dissolve some conflicts. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"I feel an immediate kinship with you, Mr. Ji, as if we are fated to meet by chance. May I invite Mr. Ji to tour the gardens together?

I am quite knowledgeable in the art of flowers and plants, and can appreciate the rare flowers and exotic plants in this garden with you. It should be quite interesting."

Situ Ye initially even disliked Rong Lijun. Although the charming Immortal Lord of the Asheng Sect was not among the top nine in strength or cultivation, nor did his background measure up.

Among these nine, the only one who gave him a headache was Mu Yunye.

But today, it seemed Rong Lijun was not as timid and fearful as rumored; his behavior was erratic and bizarre.

Moreover, Rong Lijun’s appearance... was indeed exceptional.

From beginning to end, he looked like those fair-skinned pretty boys that the noble immortals and ladies favored.

He had inquired in Shifang City; the Third Miss of Fang in Xianling City had indeed kept a male favorite.

But later, something seemed to happen, as the favorite seemed to have been cast aside after losing her interest, never making it back to Shifang City.

Considering that Rong Lijun was always mingling in romantic places, he had quite the knack for dealing with girls, adept at taking unconventional approaches to win their favor.

If he were to put in all his effort, it could well be that Fang Geyu might exactly take a fancy to this type.

Additionally, given his flashy approach earlier, initially Situ Ye thought he was deliberately attracting the Third Miss Fang’s attention.

Causing him to raise his guard.

But now that the Third Miss Fang had left to change clothes, Rong Lijun’s charming displays were not intended for her.

How does this now seem... like he’s interested in that mortal commoner?!

One must know, before that little thing named Ji Xinnian arrived.

Rong Lijun was particularly silent and withdrawn, showing no intention of seeking the limelight.

How is it that after his arrival, this guy started acting like a peacock showing off its feathers, putting on such a display?

Could it be Rong Lijun’s reputation for promiscuity is merely a cover for his true preferences ’hobbies’?

Thinking this way, regardless of whether it was Rong Lijun or Ji Xinnian.

Situ Ye suddenly found them both to be pleasing to the eye.

If Ji Xinnian truly caught his eye and got together with him.

Then among these nine, there would suddenly be two fewer competitors, surely saving much effort?

So thinking, Situ Ye deeply regretted his earlier actions.

If not for the sentence after sentence of disdain and contempt towards that human cultivator, how would it provoke such a fierce response?

No matter how Yu Zhongxian, Tang Feng, and Shi Haotian usually treated him with courtesy and seemed to obey his every command.

But when the benefits are on the line, who isn’t selfish?

Facing the marriage selection in Shifang City, winning Fang Geyu would undoubtedly be like acquiring an inexhaustible gold mountain.

More importantly, it aligns one’s destiny with the Zhonghua Immortal Mansion of Kunlun Mountain, promising an unimaginably prosperous future in the immortality path.

Situ Ye believed, those who came today, every single one bore ambitious intentions.

Contrarily, if Ji Xinnian and Rong Lijun, if these two could be successfully paired together.

Wouldn’t that turn enemies into allies, garnering significant support?

Baili An coldly shook off Rong Lijun’s hand from his shoulder, said indifferently, "I am just a mere mortal, unable to appreciate such artistic matters, please forgive me for not accompanying you."

Yin Baishuang walked out, her smile concealing a blade, and said, "Now is the season when frost kills all plants, appreciating flowers might be too lonely, I’ve noticed on the way here, in the front yard, the snow scene and cold plum blossoms bloom just right..."

"Even if a thousand flowers and grasses bloom in full vividly, appreciating them alone is loneliness.
