30 During the Banquet (3)
Su Tiecheng was silent, and after a while, he turned his head and glanced at his master coldly:
"How many of the opponents in this world are enemies of each other because of grudges? The territory of the Bao country is small, and there are only a few places in the land with abundant spiritual energy, and each has its own master for a long time. Since he is a cultivator, he must occupy a spiritual place in order to continue to cultivate and improve. His whole family is here again, and if he wants to spread out and improve the family in the future, he must have a place to have a foundation. β
"And right now, near Baonan City, which spiritual land is closest to the city?"
"Of course, it's Xuanyangguan. β
"And next?"
"That's the one who is in charge of your Tieling Village...... Oh, I see!"
Seeing that Master Liu finally came to his senses, Su Tiecheng nodded:
"So, if he doesn't want to go and seize the spiritual well of Xuanyang Temple, it's hard to guarantee that he won't hit my Tieling Village with his mind next. Rather than being targeted by others at that time, it is better to make arrangements in advance, suppress him, or at least find more trouble for him, save him from being idle, and move his mind in this regard. β
Hearing this, Master Liu didn't dare to persuade him to say anything like "don't make enemies casually". In today's world, there is a scarcity of resources for cultivating immortals, and for immortal cultivators, a land with abundant spiritual energy is an heirloom that can be left to future generations! After more than 20 years of struggle, Su Tiecheng does not know how much effort it has spent to obtain this treasure land, which is to be used as a foundation for generations, how can it be coveted by others.
Moreover, Master Liu has realized that the reason why the head of his family is so taboo against this young man is not because of the distance, and he has little to do with the little marquis. But in the entire Bao country, among the immortal cultivators who have spiritual land, it is this Su San who has the shallowest foundation and the weakest power. In other words, if an alien monk wants to claim a long-term inheritance, he is the easiest target to choose!
ββSo Mr. Su was very wary of this kid surnamed Huang, extremely vigilant, and even suppressed it, which is also a matter of course. Because the other party is indeed likely to threaten him.
This is not for nothing, it is inevitable.
............
At the same time, for the young cultivator of the Huang family, who was said to have returned from Kunlun Mountain, in addition to Ji Tiandu, Su Tiecheng and other "fellow immortal cultivators", there were also a group of people who were also interested in him. It's just that the focus of their attention is not on those things that fight and kill the scenery.
ββDafan Yuan must have its core. And the garden here, the most central position is on the top of a hill in the garden, there is a three-story pavilion, and there is an inscription on the plaque that says "flowing clouds".
Standing on the Liuyun Pavilion, looking into the distance, you can see the beautiful scenery in the garden at a glance, together with half of the Baonan City in the eyes, the heart is happy, needless to say. In the past, gathering in this garden was often the favorite place for literati and ink writers, taking in the beautiful scenery and endowing the literary style, which was most in line with the hobbies of those literati.
But today they couldn't come - it was occupied by a large flock of warblers. In the corridor outside the pavilion, there are a large number of maids and women waiting for dispatch there, and they are only the servants at the bottom, the "deputy ladies" who really have heads and faces, and those personal maids are all sitting in the pavilion on the first floor, waiting for the call at any time.
The second floor is a place for the daughters of various families to laugh and play, and those who are qualified to go up to the third floor can only be the top Tianjiao girls in Baonan City - although the staircase is clearly open there, there is no bar, and it is clear who is qualified to go up. But in the hearts of those young ladies, there is a boundary, like an invisible rope, that keeps those who are not qualified.
But in fact, on the verandah on the second floor, it is enough to see the panoramic view of the park. The girls also divided into many small circles, three or two, and got together on good terms, but the content of the conversation was actually the same - this is the same in any world. No matter what status a woman is, the activities when they get together are actually similar, just to tell some short and long-term gossip and anecdotes.
And the Huang family Saburo, who has been very popular in Baonan City recently, is naturally within the scope of their discussion. There are well-informed people, and they know that this Huang Sanlang entered the garden with his father and brother today. It's just that at first, those male guests were all gathered together, and even if they were scattered, they were in groups, and it was difficult to distinguish them. After Huang Chang went home, he has been at ease as an otaku, and few people in the city have seen him, these women are standing far away in the pavilion, and of course they can't recognize who is who.
But others are not easy to recognize, the old Taoist, Xuanyang Guanzhu Wanjun is extremely eye-catching, so when the old Taoist and a young man talk face to face, and the young man is not a familiar immortal cultivator, a group of gossip girls gathered one after another, pointing over there.
"Look, that young man, is it probably the legendary Huang Sanlang?"
"You're so young...... Doesn't it mean that cultivators are all getting older and more powerful, and only those with a large number of white beards have the ability? That young man looks like he is just twenty years old and nods, how can he be on an equal footing with the old fairy Lou?"
"Hey, you're so lonely. Ordinary mortals in the world can only endure hardship, but if they are elite disciples from major sects, then they don't care about their age - this Huang Sanlang heard that he came back from the Immortal Mountain, and he has studied art in the Immortal Mountain for ten years, which is worth decades in our mortal world, and his ability is really not under the old way. β
"Hey, wouldn't that have a lot of good prospects in the future?"
"Yes, I'm young and capable, and I have a great future in the future, otherwise how can I make an exception and get an invitation from the unequaled county guard......"
"And who else is in his family?"
- As we talked about it, it was only natural that it began to drift in some way. For these young girls who are raised in the deep boudoir and do not leave the door on weekdays, this kind of banquet originally has the meaning of letting them look at each other and choose, otherwise the host of the banquet, Ji Wushuang, will not specially give them the Liuyun Pavilion with the best vision.
And they worked hard to dress up, put on the most beautiful clothes, and showed the sweetest smiles, and stood outside without fear of the wind and sun, which is also a kind of display to those young and handsome people to a certain extent......
-- Historically, the marriage of children in famous families has been the initial intention of the children on such occasions. Of course, if you really want to achieve a good story, there must be many steps to go before and after. It is also necessary to test each other, and all kinds of measurements and judgments mainly depend on the consideration of the family, not that the young men and women here will definitely be able to succeed if they like each other.
