Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

Guan Shanyu sat in the carriage, swaying along the bumpy mountain road, and opened the letter in his hand that said that if he didn't come, "someone would die."

It doesn't matter how the letter is signed...

The content reads:

My dad set me up on another blind date, and I fucked him! He's really good! He's handsome, tall, and, can you believe it, he even has eight-pack abs!

But I don’t understand why such a handsome man would come out for a blind date. Can you help me choose one?

I have prepared a bag of money for you as a reward.

Come on! Stop dawdling on the mountain!

【Beautiful Li】

Guan Shanyu has been frowning ever since he received the letter.

It was said to be a blind date, but his family background was not mentioned at all, and only his appearance was described? Could it be that Guan Shanyu had to ask these questions himself?

That's not right. Why should he ask? Li Suyin got married through a blind date. It has nothing to do with him.

He is not a friend of women.

Besides, isn't the case of the immortal sect elder's crimes still in the tug-of-war stage, with no conclusion yet? How could Li Xiuqi still have the time to find a blind date for his daughter?

Could it be that these big shots are doing two things at the same time without delaying anything?

No wonder the system assigned him the role of cannon fodder. If he were to become the protagonist, he would be a little overwhelmed.

Guan Shanyu put away the letter and sighed deeply. Li Suyin said she had prepared a bag of money for him. If that was really that much… wouldn't Guan Shanyu be able to achieve his life goal of opening a clinic right away?

In this case, he has to go and see Li Suyin's blind date no matter whether he is tall or flat.

"Second Brother Guan, why are you sighing all the way?" The disciple driving the carriage heard a sigh coming from inside the carriage. Worried, he lifted the curtain and looked out, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Guan Shanyu shook his head, but there was a doubt in his heart, "Why do you call me second brother?" No matter how you rank Yan Ruchen's left and right arms, it would never be his turn, right?

The disciple explained, "Boss Yan said before that your future treatment must be better than his, and we must be respectful when we see you. However, we all obey Boss Yan after all, so calling you Second Brother feels more appropriate."

The disciple paused, then asked curiously, "Second Brother Guan, did you save Boss Yan's life before?"

Save his life? Guan Shanyu looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, but it seemed like there was nothing there?

Guan Shanyu thought for a moment and replied, "Your boss is just too polite. Actually, I'm just a small follower. Just call me by my name from now on. Second brother... I don't deserve it."

The disciple couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Second Brother Guan, you are so polite. You are so blessed."

Guan Shanyu held his forehead helplessly. Just as he was about to retort, his disciple had already tightened the reins: "Second Brother Guan, we've arrived at Yuchen Palace."

Guan Shanyu opened the curtain and saw that the carriage had indeed stopped at the back door of Yuchen Palace. The reason for this was that three elders from the immortal sect were still imprisoned in Yuchen Palace, so the gate was so crowded with people that it was difficult to pass through.

Guan Shanyu looked out and saw people protesting with banners, sleeping on the floor awaiting the outcome of the trial, and curious onlookers gathered together, sharing gossip they had heard from somewhere. It was impossible to tell if they were disciples of the immortal sect or ordinary people; the place was chaotic and noisy.

He slowly stepped off the carriage. Seeing that the crowd at the main gate hadn't noticed him, he followed the Yuchen Palace's leading disciple to the back door. After a few steps, Guan Shanyu turned to the disciple who was seeing him off and said, "You should go back first. Miss Li will send someone to take me back tonight. It's not safe for you to stay here alone."

The disciple hesitated for a moment, looking at the crowd at the main gate, looking a little hesitant. Seeing this, Guan Shanyu quickly waved his hand to signal him to leave. The disciple then responded, "Okay, Second Brother Guan, I'll go first. If you don't come back tonight, I'll come find you."

Guan Shanyu chuckled and nodded, urging: "Go quickly, I'm fine."

After saying this, the disciple glanced at the crowd at the main gate, whipped his horse whip and hurried away. After his figure disappeared into the distance, Guan Shanyu hurriedly followed the leading disciple and entered the Yuchen Palace.

Yuchen Palace was in a far worse state than it once was. The last time Guan Shanyu had been here, it was perfectly organized, with waterside pavilions and elegant courtyards, and secluded paths lined with flowers. But after a month without him, the paths were littered with books and documents, and untended plants had grown freely over the walls. The flow of people inside the courtyard rivaled the crowds outside the main gate.

At first glance, I thought Yuchen Palace had been robbed.

Led by the disciple who led the way, Guan Shanyu arrived at a garden next to a side hall. Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, this place seemed much tidier and less visited, likely the residence of Li Xiuqi's relatives.

Deep in the garden, a pavilion held plum blossoms in full bloom, specks of snow dotting the branches. The red and white contrasted beautifully. Beneath the red blossoms, two people sat in the pavilion, one brewing tea while the other twisted a handkerchief, a smile on their lips.

Seeing this, Guan Shanyu's mouth twitched and he walked over.

"You're here."

When Li Suyin saw Guan Shanyu approaching, she immediately stood up, performed the standard lady's etiquette, and called him sweetly. When Guan Shanyu heard this, his steady steps suddenly stopped, and he almost tripped on the flat ground, looking at Li Suyin with an unbelievable face.

Seeing Guan Shanyu like this, Li Suyin immediately glared at him, then turned to make sure the man next to her didn't notice. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Guan Shanyu, pinched his arm quietly, and warned him in a low voice: "Be careful, don't talk nonsense, and don't expose my shortcomings."

After that, he pulled Guan Shanyu into the pavilion and pressed him into a seat. Guan Shanyu glanced at the strange man who stood up and saluted with Li Suyin. The man was handsome and well-mannered, and he thought that this must be Li Suyin's blind date.

So he winked at Li Suyin.

Li Suyin understood and quickly introduced the two: "Let me introduce you, this is Bo Qiao, and this is Shan Yu."

Upon seeing this, Guan Shanyu quickly stood up and formally greeted him, "My name is Guan Shanyu, nice to meet you, Brother Bo Qiao."

Chen Boqiao also quickly returned the greeting: "I am Chen Boqiao, and my father is Chen Qin, a scholar in the palace. It is a great honor to meet Brother Shanyu today. I heard that Brother Shanyu is a cultivator and a seeker of the Way, and his reputation is well-deserved. I also heard that Brother Shanyu is Su Yin's... um..."

"Best friend." Li Suyin took over the conversation.

Chen Boqiao turned to look at her in confusion and asked softly, "What is that...honey?"

"We're just good friends." Guan Shanyu explained for her, "Su Yin has a good impression of you, so she asked me to come here today so that we can get to know each other. She has never brought anyone else to meet her friends before."

As soon as these words came out, the two people opposite each other lowered their heads shyly, covering their mouths with their hands and laughing softly. Chen Boqiao touched the back of his head and smiled shyly, "I am so lucky." Li Suyin smiled with her lips pursed, raised an eyebrow at Guan Shanyu, and mouthed to him, "You really know how to talk."

Guan Shanyu curled his lips, and after they finished laughing and flirting, he continued to ask, "How long have you known each other?"

Li Suyin was stunned when she heard this, her cheeks instantly flushed, and she replied, "We've only known each other for less than half a month."

Guan Shanyu narrowed his eyes and thought, "Big sister, it's only been half a month and you're already anxious to ask someone to come and check it for you? It's only been half a month and you can't tell anything."

Chen Boqiao smiled shyly and retorted, "Actually, I knew Suyin long before she knew me. We attended classes together at the Imperial College when we were six years old. Although we haven't been classmates since then, I've always had my eye on her over the years, she just didn't know it."

Guan Shanyu's mouth twitched. He thought to himself that Li Suyin had only traveled here after she was six years old, so of course she didn't recognize you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked you to wait until now and would have pounced on you long ago.

Sure enough, Li Suyin's eyes lit up after hearing this. She twisted her handkerchief in surprise, covered her mouth and said, "Brother Qiao, is this true?"

Chen Boqiao nodded seriously and said gently, "Really, Sister Suyin."

...

Guan Shanyu rolled his eyes as if no one cared and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat.

Guan Shanyu chatted with them for a while, and finally found a reason to send Chen Boqiao away.

As soon as the person left, Li Suyin came over and asked Guan Shanyu with shining eyes: "How is it? Isn't it super hot?"

Guan Shanyu twitched his lips and said, "Yes, you are a royal relative, you are good-looking, and you have a good personality. You are so lucky, Baga-chan."

"Tsk." Li Suyin patted him and reminded him, "Hurry up and forget that name. If you let it slip next time, I'll have to explain it for a long time."

Guan Shanyu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Take care of yourself first, you big colander, and your best friend."

Li Suyin pushed him and explained in a low voice: "Then people will lose their minds when they see him. I will definitely not say that next time."

Guan Shanyu looked at her worthless face and said with a smile: "Things haven't been settled yet, and Palace Master Li has time to ask you to go on a blind date?"

Li Suyin waved her handkerchief and replied, "It's because my father asked me to spend more time with Yan Ruchen, saying he had a bright future, but I refused. So he sent me to my cousin's house and asked her to arrange a blind date for me. Unexpectedly, I actually met Bo Qiao. Didn't you see that? He has eight-pack abs, and his figure is no worse than Yan Ruchen's."

Guan Shanyu laughed and said, "I knew it. You were just pretending to let me take a look. You were just trying to show off. Hurry up and pay me. Do you know how dangerous this journey is? There are people all over your doorstep."

Li Suyin snorted and said, "I know, I know. I'll give it to you later."

Guan Shanyu didn't nod, but moved closer to Li Suyin and said softly, "But I have something else to ask. Can I go to your prison?"

"What?!" Li Suyin turned around suddenly, looking at him in shock. Guan Shanyu continued, "Since I'm here, of course I have to go meet my master and the others. Will you lead the way? If not, I'll tell your boyfriend you're a bitch who's been on more blind dates than he's had meals!"

"You!" Li Suyin was so angry that she raised her hand to point at him. Guan Shanyu quickly grabbed her finger, pressed it down gently, and said with a smile: "Hey, Miss Li, pointing at people is not ladylike."

Li Suyin bit her lip and stared at Guan Shanyu stubbornly for a while before nodding slowly: "Just a look!"

Following the reluctant Li Suyin through layers of corridors, past several rockeries and gardens, they arrived at their destination. Li Suyin grumbled as they walked, "The last time I brought you here, you turned every immortal sect upside down. I wonder what you're up to this time. I haven't even spoken to Brother Qiao yet."

Guan Shanyu put his arm around Li Suyin's shoulder and whispered, "Stop grumbling. Send me off later, and go chat with your brother Bo Qiao. I'm really just going to take a look at them this time, nothing will happen."

Li Suyin shrugged, shook off Guan Shanyu's hand on her shoulder, and muttered, "I really owe you. I took you in, and I have to accompany you. How can I have time to chat?"

Guan Shanyu looked ahead and saw that the entrance to the Yuchen Palace prison was, as he had imagined, heavily guarded by barriers and guards. He paused nervously and asked, "Are you bringing me in directly? Don't I need to dress up? How am I supposed to get in with such tight security?"

Li Suyin looked back at him and said, "Just follow me in. They recognize you. Before, you worked together with Yunze and Yan Ruchen to expose their crimes. Everyone regarded you as a righteous and brave person. Who would stop you?"

"And," Li Suyin said with some pride, "the rooms where the elders are imprisoned were designed by my father himself. They have eight layers of barriers and twelve levels of protection. Even a Daluo Immortal would have a hard time escaping."

Guan Shanyu's mouth twitched as he asked, "Are you saying that Palace Master Li had already planned to lock up the elders of other immortal sects, and therefore designed the cells in advance?"

Li Suyin quickly covered her mouth and shook her head to deny it: "I didn't say that. Stop making inferences and leave quickly."

Guan Shanyu was still looking at Li Suyin suspiciously as she pushed him forward. As they passed the prison gate, Li Suyin verified it with her token, and Guan Shanyu was left alone. The gatekeeper glanced at Guan Shanyu and let him pass.

It’s even better than facial recognition.
