Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 182 Chapter 181 Brother Lu is indeed a role model for our generation and is worth learning from!

Lu Zhan's eyelids twitched. He had heard that Xie Chunyan had a cousin in Luyun Academy, and the two often exchanged letters to tell gossip. The gossip about Princess Changyi and Lin Hongwen at that time was spread by Xie Chunyan in the correspondence with his cousin.

It is true that seeing is believing.

He had the same rugged appearance as Xie Chunyan, and was about nine feet tall, with one foot around being about 20 centimeters. With such a tall and mighty body, he wore a blue and white robe and a turban on his head, looking like a Confucian student who convinced people with reason.

Compared with the elegant Lin Hongwen, Xie Yu is more like a martial artist in the eyes of the world.

"So it's you... I often hear Chun Ge mention you, brother Xie, I've heard of your name for a long time."

Lu Zhan bowed to him gracefully, his smile as warm as the spring breeze.

Xie Yu invited enthusiastically: "As the saying goes, meeting is fate. Although we are far away in Bianjing, I have heard of Brother Lu's name for a long time. Please do me the honor of having a meal together."

"That's right, let's go together." The girl carrying the big knife also invited Lu Zhan and introduced herself generously: "My name is Zhu Fei, and I'm Chu Tinglan's good sister."

Lu Zhan glanced at Zhu Fei, and his eyes changed slightly.

As we all know, countless love stories throughout history have been lost at the hands of best friends.

The other two Taoists also nodded slightly towards Lu Zhan and introduced themselves. They were also cultivators from Bian Jing, named Luo Yi and Luo Er, from the aristocratic Luo family. Luo Yi and Luo Er were their common names when they traveled around the world.

Luo Er had an extraordinary temperament, his grey Taoist robe fluttering, and he said with a smile: "Brother Lin, what do you think?"

You bunch of annoying guys... Lin Hongwen muttered to himself. He still didn't want to go. But based on his understanding of Xie Yu, if he didn't go, he would definitely be the focus of conversation at the dinner table, and it wouldn't be a good topic.

Lin Hongwen gritted his teeth and said, "Although I am fasting, since everyone is willing, I am willing to stop fasting and treat Brother Lu to a meal."

"Good, good, good..." Xie Yu was very satisfied with his junior brother's performance, mainly because he had no money, while Junior Brother Lin was a rich man, and following him would help enhance the reputation of Luyun Academy.

Xie Yu smiled, put his arm around Lu Zhan's shoulders again, and said enthusiastically: "Let's go to the brothel after dinner. Although there are no regular brothels in Mengyingzhou, there are many prostitutes. They are all cultivators, and they have a lot of fun. Hehehe..."

Lu Zhan's face instantly turned stern, and he said in a gentlemanly manner: "Brother Xie, what are you talking about? The restrictions on the fairy island will be lifted in three days. We should make more preparations in these few days. How can we hang out with a prostitute? It's ridiculous."

Lu Zhan's expression was very serious. As expected, the Xie family produced a straight man. How could he say such words in front of so many people?

Besides, Xiao Chu's best friend was also there. Although I don't know what their relationship is like, judging from her appearance, she should have a good relationship with Xiao Chu. This would greatly affect his already rare reputation. Who would go to a prostitute as soon as they got to the island?

And she's a secret prostitute!

Most of the secret prostitutes in Mengyingzhou are female cultivators. They want to explore the island, but they are not strong enough, so they want to find some shelter. Therefore, before entering the island, they discuss scriptures with powerful male cultivators.

Of course, not all female nuns are like this, only a small part of them.

It would be good if they could just go their separate ways after the fleeting romance, but the professional ethics of these prostitutes are extremely low. Many old veterans were entangled by prostitutes after having sex with them, and in order to protect their reputation, they had to give the prostitutes some benefits.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the world of cultivators.

“???” Xie Yu blinked, the nine-foot tall man was a little confused... Chun Yan didn’t say Lu Zhan was so upright.

Zhu Fei, who was standing next to him, picked up his sword and suddenly said, "It seems that the rumors cannot be trusted. They say that Lord Lu is lustful and likes to hang out in brothels. Now it seems that it is not so exaggerated. It is a certain Confucian cultivator who calls himself a gentleman... Humph!"

There was something wrong with what he said, and Lu Zhan immediately understood the meaning.

Xiao Chu's best friend first praised him, and then squeezed Xie Yu with sour words.

This girl is interested in Xie Yu, and she has a generous and simple personality.

"Sister Zhu Fei, you are wrong. I just want to express my inner joy and enthusiasm..." Xie Yu looked at Lu Zhan, then at Zhu Fei, and suddenly understood.

Brother Lu is truly a role model for our generation!

Xie Yu suddenly realized. He had heard his cousin mention Lu Zhan more than once, and his words were all praises. He said that Lu Zhan had almost no other shortcomings and was simply a perfect man. The only shortcoming was that he was too lustful.

He then catered to his taste and wanted to invite Lu Zhan to try the seafood.

Originally he didn't understand why Lu Zhan suddenly became serious, but now he understood...it turned out that he wanted to maintain his image in front of the female cultivator.

It turned out that I was too reckless... Xie Yu was secretly learning in his heart. The Master once said that there are teachers everywhere in life, and this is indeed true.

However, Lu Zhan's action made Xie Yu seem anxious, which was a bit embarrassing.

Lin Hongwen looked at the change in his senior brother's expression and gloated in his heart.

Haha... Brother Xie, this is just the beginning. As time goes by, you will find that this guy Lu Zhan has several faces!

He is greedy for money and lustful, but also serious and gentlemanly. He can go to brothels to visit prostitutes, but he can also be indifferent and talk about simple things like a hermit. Otherwise, how could I, Lin Hongwen, be overshadowed by him?

People with the surname Lu are good at disguise!

"Okay, okay... let's go eat first. This is not the place to talk." Luo Yi smiled, looked like a good old man, and spoke gently.

……

There are not many restaurants in Mengyingzhou, and there are only two restaurants on such a huge island.

Lu Zhan walked towards the most famous one.

The food in this restaurant is all game and seafood from deep within Mengyingzhou, and it is only open during the peak season in Mengyingzhou.

The so-called peak season is naturally when a fairy island appears in the East China Sea. The cultivators gather together and naturally want to eat something special to show their respect.

It is said that the owner of the restaurant is an old senior who, after practicing Taoism to a certain extent, felt that life was boring, so he opened an "Internet celebrity restaurant" to make money.

As the group walked in, they were greeted by a waiter with impressive skills, who took them to a private room on the fourth floor.

It was the first time for everyone to come to Donghai, and they looked at the names of the dishes on the menu with confused expressions.

The names of the dishes here are a bit unconventional, and I don’t know where to start.

I wanted to call the waiter to introduce it, but Xie Yu stood up confidently at this time: "I did my homework before coming to Donghai, and I know the characteristics of this restaurant. For example, this dish "Zhen Yang Xu" is the treasure of the restaurant. It is made of 500-year-old leek spirit and big-winged golden eagle eggs from Donghai."

"What's so delicious about scrambled eggs with leeks..." A certain bird looked puzzled. She wanted to eat something delicious and didn't want to eat vegetarian food.

Xie Yu showed an ambiguous smile, but seeing the little girl's childish look, he didn't explain it clearly, but just said: "Because leek essence is rare, things are precious because they are rare."

Queque was even more surprised: "Are leeks rare?"

"In the past, leek spirits were not rare, and even leeks were rampant. But I don't know who was the wicked one who said that leeks can enhance male potency." Luo Yi narrowed his eyes and sighed, "In less than two months, the leek spirits in the Great Zhou Dynasty are almost extinct."

Lu Zhan, who was drinking tea, suddenly felt his hand tremble.

He suddenly remembered that on a sunny day when he was shopping with Xiao Chu, he casually mentioned to the leek vendor that "leeks can strengthen the yang". Could it be that the news spread so quickly?

"It is indeed a sin." Luo Er looked like an immortal: "There would be no killing if there was no buying and selling. Ordinary people heard that leeks can enhance their sexual performance, so they just eat some ordinary leeks. But it is different for cultivators. The leek spirits will suffer."

Lu Zhan sighed: "Perhaps the person who said this did not expect the world to be so cruel and insane."

"Why are you saying this? We're here to eat." Xie Yu waved his hand and immediately started to warm up the crowd again: "There's also a specialty dish called Immortal Couple. This dish is quite famous. It's made of sugar figures made from the nectar produced by spirit bees."

Lu Zhan's eyelids twitched again.

Then Xie Yu said: "These sugar figures are not ordinary sugar figures, but they have a beautiful legend."

"It is said that in ancient times, there were two people who loved each other, but their families opposed it. The woman was forced to marry someone else, and the man died of depression. On the day of her wedding, the woman committed suicide in front of the man's tomb. The tomb suddenly cracked open and golden light came out. The couple turned into a pair of beautiful butterflies, living together and flying together, better than countless immortal couples. This dish is the origin of it."

Lu Zhan: “…”

Why does this story sound so familiar? It turns out that "Internet celebrity restaurants" are not credible, they are all gimmicks.

Zhu Fei immediately slammed the table and said, "I want one of these!"

“Hmm…” In order to express his enthusiasm, Xie Yu ordered a few more special dishes.

Looking at Xie Yu's hospitality, Lin Hongwen snorted in his heart, thinking that Senior Brother Xie was really willing to spend money, it turned out that he didn't want him to spend any money!

Lin Hongwen couldn't understand why he had to spend money to treat his rival to a meal when his sweetheart was stolen. He started to grit his teeth as he thought about it.

Everyone was chatting happily when they suddenly heard the sound of grinding teeth. They turned around and saw that it was Lin Hongwen.

In fact, Lin Hongwen's image outside has always been gentle and elegant. He is indeed such a person. No matter who he is with or what the other person's identity is, he can always treat them equally and warmly. He is a well-known elegant gentleman in Bianjing.

But these good images disappeared immediately once they met Lu Zhan.

Lin Hongwen felt that Lu Zhan would be his lifelong enemy.

"Brother Lin, are you feeling unwell?" Zhu Fei glanced at him.

"He is feeling uncomfortable deep down." Xie Yu kindly handed him a cup of tea and advised, "Brother, don't dwell on this. Fairy Ningshuang doesn't like you. Even if Brother Lu hadn't appeared, she wouldn't have chosen you. You have to accept this reality... Hmm?!!"

Xie Yu couldn't speak any more before he finished speaking.

The reason was that when he was talking nonstop, Lin Hongwen suddenly said, "Shut up and cultivate your mind."

This was the first time that Lu Zhan saw a Confucian cultivator speak and act accordingly, and he couldn't help but feel interested.

Although the Confucian technique of silencing may not seem to have much power, it is undoubtedly a good way to make people feel annoyed, and it is also very impressive to follow the law of the matter.

Lu Zhan was suddenly moved. He couldn't help but think of Shi Qingquan in the orphan book. He rejected Shi Qingquan at the beginning because he was a night doctor, but now he could practice other professions... He must learn a few skills before entering the island, maybe it would be useful after entering the island.

Moreover... this tactic can not only be used against enemies, but also in certain special situations, such as when men and women fight each other... Many scenes emerged in Lu Zhan's mind, and he immediately yearned for it.

"Junior Brother Lin, what are you doing?" Xie Yu lifted the silence spell and glared at Lin Hongwen in reproach.

Lin Hongwen also glared at him, his eyes full of stubbornness and grievance.

It seems that Junior Brother Lin is really in pain... Xie Yu patted his shoulder and changed the subject: "I heard that Brother Lu is very talented. His poem in Wangyue Teahouse amazed everyone. Can we also learn from him?"

Everyone looked at Lu Zhan.

Lin Hongwen drank a sip of wine in silence and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not the center of the topic, it would be fine.

“Writing poetry…” Lu Zhan kept smiling.

To be honest, there were five men and two girls at the table, one was as strong as a man and the other was an ignorant little girl. He was not in the mood to compose poetry.

However, seeing Xie Yu's expectant eyes, Lu Zhan still looked out the window.

The sky outside the window was as blue as a mirror, with misty white clouds floating in the wind. Suddenly, several female cultivators flew in from the sky on swords, their clothes fluttering in the wind, and their figures seemed to be independent and free from the world.

"Isn't that Miss Lin?" Xiao Que'er followed Lu Zhan's gaze and spotted the fairy in white riding a sword.

Even though they were a little far apart, Fairy Ling's cool and graceful figure could still be seen.

But then Fairy Ling was seen flying towards the restaurant on her sword.
