I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.
Chapter 191 I want you to be my friend
At this time, someone walked into the pavilion. Everyone looked over and saw a beautiful young lady leading two maids walking over. There was a smile on her round face, but there was no smile in her eyes.
She looked at Gu Liyue and the others and said, "Sixth sister, why didn't you invite me to join you at the banquet?"
Leng Jiaojiao glanced at her, seemingly not taking her seriously. After thinking for a moment, she said to Gu Liyue, "This is my half-sister, Leng Yingying."
When Leng Yingying heard the word "Shu", a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes and the smile on her face faded.
"Fifth sister, isn't this because I'm worried that you'll be busy? These are all my friends, and my eldest sister has met them too."
The pavilion was originally quite large, and everyone sat around the table in the middle of the pavilion. Fortunately, the table was not small, and it was just enough for everyone to sit down. It seemed that there was no room left for Leng Yingying to sit.
She stood there, feeling a bit stuck.
She decided to leave. She felt embarrassed. She wanted to sit down but there was no seat. It would be bad to ask the guests to stand and give her a seat!
She gritted her teeth and silently complained about these guests, saying they had no tact at all and didn't know how to offer their seats to others.
She looked at the male monks and found that each of them was very handsome, and each had a different style.
She said, "No wonder Sixth Sister invited us to dinner. It turns out..."
She looked at the male cultivators meaningfully and said, "Sister, I won't bother you anymore."
"Humph! You guys made me unhappy, so I'll make you unhappy too." He said this and turned away.
Gu Liyue asked, "Jiaojiao, what exactly did your sister mean?"
Leng Jiaojiao looked at them and noticed that the faces of several male cultivators were cold. She smiled and said, "Don't be so serious. I, Miss Leng Liu, just like looking at handsome men. It won't cause any harm to you."
Qing Xiao looked around and couldn't help laughing: "You are quick to speak, but for our friends, you make them uncomfortable!"
Qingxiao's laughter and words made the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
In fact, no one really believed what she said, but she said it directly so that it would not cause any disgust.
Leng Jiaojiao complained dissatisfiedly: "My fifth sister can't stand seeing me do well. As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty.
I was just a bit straightforward and showed it, but she spread the news throughout Qilin City. It's fine if she told the truth, but she even exaggerated it, saying I was a man-hunter and would kidnap anyone I liked to enjoy."
Gu Liyue couldn't help but say, "Oh, it's okay for us to like handsome men, but the most important thing is that you both want to be together, whether we're just friends or partners."
After hearing this, Nie Hengzhou looked at Gu Liyue deeply, thinking to himself: I wonder if Gu Liyue is willing to be a Taoist partner with me?
Leng Jiaojiao looked at Gu Liyue thoughtfully. She was born as the daughter of the noble Leng family, and no one had ever said such words to her.
Those people will only say that it is their blessing to be liked by you.
Besides, how many people want to have a relationship with me so that they can take advantage of the Leng family's influence? How could anyone be unwilling?
She ignored the other party's wishes and never thought deeply about it. She just thought that since she only glanced at him for a few seconds, the other party got real benefits, so it was not a loss!
She felt that Gu Liyue was doing this for her own good, so she replied, "I understand."
Wen Qinnuan said indignantly, "Since your fifth sister is making up rumors, you can ask your mother to restrain her."
Leng Jiaojiao smiled bitterly. The relationships in large families were complicated and could not be explained in just a few words.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk any more, Gu Liyue asked, "When are you leaving for the Dongfeng family?"
Leng Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Two days later, you can stay in the mansion for two days and then we can go together. Okay?"
Gu Liyue had no choice but to nod.
Then Leng Jiaojiao said, "I'll ask the housekeeper to arrange for you to stay in two courtyards. It's close to the back door. If you want to go shopping, you can go in and out directly from the back door."
"Thank you!" Qing Xiao said, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."
Leng Jiaojiao looked at the moon and said, "Okay, I'll let my maid take you there. If you need anything, you can tell her."
The group arrived at the guest house, and the ten of them first gathered in the guest house where Gu Liyue and the others lived.
Gu Liyue activated the formation disk as usual.
Gu Liyue said to Qingxiao, "Everyone is planning to accompany me to visit Dongfeng's house. Qingxiao, are you going?"
"I don't have anything else to do in Cangwu Realm, so I'll accompany you."
Gu Liyue looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"
Xiao Ju said, "Do we really have to go to Dongfeng's house with her?"
Recalling the information he had inquired from the shopkeeper, Xiahou Jingrong said, "Actually, Qilin City originally had a teleportation array, but the cost was too high. Most cultivators couldn't afford the spirit stones, so it was eventually closed. The Leng family's is their exclusive teleportation array."
Gu Liyue said, "I originally wanted to disguise myself and sneak into the Dongfeng family when they were recruiting new members. But now if I don't take the teleportation array, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the recruitment. If I go with the Leng family, I won't be able to disguise myself. So I figured since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. My face won't let anyone tell I'm my mother's daughter at a glance, right?"
Nie Hengzhou looked at it and thought about the portrait again: "It's actually okay, but if someone is familiar with your mother, they will definitely notice the similarities."
Qing Xiao said, "Then let's just call it a coincidence! There are people in the world who look similar."
"Too."
Yun Lizhi said, "This Miss Leng Liu seems innocent and straightforward on the surface, but I always feel like there's something illogical about her. I find it a little strange, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is."
Wen Qinnuan said, "She can live well in the Leng family, but she is framed by her sister and cannot take revenge. It's a bit contradictory."
As expected of a young lady from a wealthy family, she immediately pointed out what was wrong.
Gu Liyue said, "It would be great if we can stay in peace for the next two days in the Leng Mansion. If the Leng family makes any moves, we should try not to expose them."
As she spoke, she looked at the male cultivators and said, "As for Miss Leng Liu, if she wants to make a move on you, you must obey your heart. If you don't want to, then we can just fight. We still have Qing Xiao!"
Everyone said they knew
Qing Xiao said, "Alright, if there's anything else, please call us."
Everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms.
Nie Hengzhou called out to Gu Liyue, "Liyue, there's something I've wanted to say to you for a long time."
Gu Liyue looked at the moon in the sky and waited quietly.
The moon was half-round at this time, and its light sprinkled on the world, as if giving everything a layer of soft glow, making all the cold and hard things look a lot softer.
The stars in the sky are bright and blink from time to time, as if they are curious about the things happening in the human world.
She heard Nie Hengzhou say slowly but firmly: "I have liked you for a long time, and I want to be your Taoist partner."
Nie Hengzhou looked at Gu Liyue, hoping she would respond to him.
