Xu Zhiqing naturally heard the helplessness in Xiaoyun's words. She opened her mouth and said, "Also, I just admire Young Master Yang Shan. It's hard to say whether he is a good match for you. After all, we only know him once. Don't say I like him."
"I understand." The maid Xiaoyun agreed, "That's what I mean. Young lady is deciding a lifelong event. You can't compromise just because you're touched at the moment. That would be irresponsible for your whole life."
"Of course I understand." Xu Zhiqing said softly.
She didn't know how many young talents would come to her father's birthday party today, but based on what her father said, she had to choose one, and it would be best if the one was a disciple from one of the eight major sects in Qingzhou.
Even if not, one still has to choose from those ninth-grade sects.
She didn't know why her father did this, but she could feel that he seemed to be in a hurry. She could only accept it because once her father made a decision, it would be difficult for her to change it.
"By the way, which sect does Yang Shan belong to?" Xu Zhiqing asked.
"The person who inquired didn't say anything." The maid Xiaoyun said, "It seems that he is not famous. Of course, it may be that the time is too short, and Yang Shan is less than 20 years old, so he may not be really famous yet!"
First, the people in the City Lord’s Mansion have been busy with birthday preparations recently, and second, Yang Shan’s fame is only relatively well-known among the Hundred Swords Sect, and he is not the most famous one.
"Okay then!" Xu Zhiqing was a little disappointed when she heard that. The reason why she mentioned Yang Shan many times was mainly because she had a certain favorable impression of Yang Shan. If she could choose, she still hoped that Yang Shan could show more extraordinary qualities. Once he caught his father's eye, she could say a few words to him and maybe it would work.
"By the way, Miss, I have found out that the Sect Leader Qin that Yang Shan mentioned is the leader of the Baijian Sect!" said the maid Xiaoyun.
"What? That man is the sect leader?" Xu Zhiqing was dumbfounded. That guy who didn't look like a good person was actually the leader of a sect. Is there no one left in the Baijian Sect?
......
The city lord's mansion was decorated with lights and colors.
One force after another came to the door.
Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the emcee kept singing and shouting, announcing which forces had arrived and what gifts they had presented.
The person in charge of hosting the birthday banquet was naturally not City Lord Xu himself, but his master, who was also the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, named Dan Qiu Sheng.
"Meet Master Dan!"
Every leader of a force who came to celebrate the birthday was quite respectful when they saw Dan Qiu Sheng who was receiving them, because although Dan Qiu Sheng's fame was not as great as City Lord Xu's, his influence was indeed not weak.
I didn’t know before I met him, but now that I see him, I feel that he is unfathomable.
Qin Haitian naturally came to visit with people from the sect.
[Name: Dan Qiusheng]
Age: 419
[Cultivation: The Third Heaven of the Four Symbols Realm]
[Favorability: 7]
When Qin Haitian saw the relevant information from the other party, he almost bit off his tongue. Many people speculated that the steward of the Xu Mansion was a top-level Taoist master. Qin Haitian also thought so before, but when he saw him this time, he couldn't help but gasp.
The third level of the Four Symbols Realm.
This level of cultivation was far beyond Qin Haitian's previous expectations.
"Even a housekeeper is so strong, then City Lord Xu must be at the Four Symbols Realm!" Qin Haitian secretly sighed in his heart: "I wonder if the destruction of Baihua Palace is related to City Lord Xu?"
After all, the old Palace Master of Baihua Palace is also at the Four Symbols Realm. In Qingzhou, perhaps the only ones who have the ability to destroy Baihua Palace are City Master Xu or this Dan Qiu Sheng, right?
Of course, this was just his guess, and he didn't know the details.
"Hmm?" Dan Qiu Sheng felt as if he was being spied on. His eyebrows slightly raised, and he couldn't help but look at Qin Haitian. He saw through Qin Haitian's cultivation level at a glance, which was the eighth level of Tongxuan Realm.
"Isn't it said that the master of the Baijian Sect has reached the perfect Xinghai realm? How come his cultivation is so low? Also, I felt like I was spied on just now. Was it this little guy who did it? Judging from his eyes, it seems not!" Dan Qiusheng muttered secretly in his heart, but he smiled faintly on his face: "Master Qin, please come in."
"Okay, Senior Dan." Qin Haitian smiled respectfully, then presented his gift and led his disciples into the City Lord's Mansion.
Dan Qiu Sheng was playing with the rolled-up scroll in his hands, with a look of surprise on his face. Compared to other forces that sent valuable treasures, this was the first time he had seen a gift like a scroll.
Moreover, he liked painting, poetry, songs and other things that could cultivate people's sentiments.
Even many of Xu Zhiqing's achievements in music, chess, calligraphy and painting were taught by him personally.
Dan Qiu Sheng did not put the scroll together with the other gifts, but called the steward of the City Lord's Mansion to entertain the guests, and he went straight into the City Lord's Mansion.
The only ones worthy of his personal reception are the eight major sects.
And the eight major sects, without exception, were the first to arrive. After all, the more they knew about City Lord Xu's power, the more they valued City Lord Xu's banquet. Naturally, they would not wait until later, otherwise it would be too inconsiderate and they would not give City Lord Xu face.
But they were worried that City Lord Xu would keep an eye on them.
......
The city lord's study.
City Lord Xu is a middle-aged man with a kind face, who looks very elegant and easy-going.
"Sir." Dan Qiu Sheng walked in from outside and called softly.
"Have all the people from the eight major sects arrived?" City Lord Xu asked without even raising his head. While speaking, he continued to paint on the rice paper.
Ever since City Lord Xu achieved perfection in the Four Symbols Realm, he has taken a liking to painting, because painting can cultivate one's sentiments, calm one's mind, and allow one to look at spiritual practice with a normal mind.
"Everyone is here!" Dan Qiusheng nodded.
"In that case, let's go!" City Lord Xu said as he prepared to get up.
"Sir, don't rush over. There is a good thing here. Take a look." Dan Qiu Sheng said as he took out the gift scroll that Qin Haitian had given him.
"Hmm? Is there anything special about your scroll?" City Lord Xu looked at Dan Qiu Sheng and asked calmly.
He had collected some poems, songs, scrolls and other things, but it seemed rare that Danqiu Sheng attached so much importance to them.
"Sir, if you take a look at this scroll, you will be absolutely amazed!" Dan Qiu Sheng said with excitement on his face.
"Oh? Hearing you say that, I'm actually looking forward to it!" City Lord Xu unfolded the scroll and as soon as he took a look, an expression of amazement immediately appeared on his face.
"Painting, can it be painted like this?" City Lord Xu exclaimed.
"Yeah, I hadn't thought of it before." Dan Qiu Sheng said with emotion on his face. He had not originally thought of coming to see the city lord, but after unfolding the scroll and reading it, he couldn't wait to come here. He believed that this scroll would be of great benefit not only to himself, but also to City Lord Xu!
