Chapter 104 Guan Shuo



Three days later, Taixuan Holy Land welcomed two guests.

The two of them took out two cards. One was an invitation from Guan Shuo, the Holy Son of Taixuan Holy Land, and the other was a visiting card that the two guests took out on their own initiative.

The visiting card read: "Feng Shao and his Taoist companion Lin Xiaoran are visiting the Holy Son of Taixuan Holy Land."

After the gatekeeper got the two notes, he immediately handed them to Guan Shuo as quickly as possible. When Guan Shuo got the two notes, he couldn't help but admire Feng Shao's wit and means.

In Guan Shuo's invitation, only Feng Shao was invited, and Lin Xiaoran was not. Normally, Feng Shao should have come alone, with at most two followers. But based on Guan Shuo's understanding of Feng Shao, Feng Shao would most likely not bring any followers.

But he never expected that Feng Shao actually brought his fiancée with him. In order to justify his behavior of bringing his fiancée, he also brought a visiting card.

Although the three words "Yunjian Pavilion" were not mentioned in the visiting card, the name "Lin Xiaoran" was enough to explain the problem. Moreover, Feng Shao did not use the three words "fiancée", but "Daoist companion". Compared with fiancée, Daoist companion has a slightly different meaning.

There are Taoist couples who have married and there are those who have not. Regardless of whether they have married or not, they can all be called "Taoist couples." Feng Shao deliberately used this term to deliberately blur the concept of "unmarried".

For an unmarried couple, the relationship between the two sides may be close or distant, but for a Taoist couple, it must be close. In addition, Lin Xiaoran naturally carries the "Yunjian Pavilion" attribute, so Feng Shao is emphasizing to the other party that the relationship between him and Yunjian Pavilion is very close.

Feng Shao clearly did not mention the three words "Yunjian Pavilion", but he clearly conveyed the meaning. How could Guan Shuo not admire him?

In fact, Guan Shuo had very complicated feelings towards Feng Shao. Although the two had conflicts, they were not too serious. He admired Feng Shao more. After all, Feng Shao almost single-handedly developed a declining sect into a second-rate sect.

The main reason why he was at odds with Feng Shao was because of face. So his plan was to make Feng Shao lose face. As long as he achieved this goal, his anger would disappear.

But if Feng Shao really lost face, he would look down on Feng Shao because of it.

Even Guan Shuo himself couldn't tell whether he wanted Feng Shao to lose face or not.

But Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran's visit directly resolved this problem.

Guan Shuo can make Feng Shao lose face, but he can't make Lin Xiaoran lose face. Lin Xiaoran represents Yunjian Pavilion, and if Lin Xiaoran loses face, Yunjian Pavilion loses face. We are all top-notch forces in Dongzhou, and no one is inferior to anyone else. If you make Yunjian Pavilion lose face, then I will have to make your Taixuan Holy Land lose face as well.

Given Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao's well-known characteristics of being "crazy daughter-loving men", the Taixuan Holy Land would have no choice but to lose face.

So Guan Shuo only had one choice left.

But what’s interesting is that Guan Shuo not only didn’t feel aggrieved, but instead found it extremely interesting and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

At this time, Han Lingxuan, the Saintess of Taixuan Holy Land, was sitting in front of Guan Shuo. Seeing Guan Shuo laughing like a lunatic after taking a look at the visiting card, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "Brother, why are you laughing?"

Guan Shuo did not answer directly, but said to Han Lingxuan: "Junior sister, do you remember the Holy Son of Taiwei Sect that I mentioned to you?"

Han Lingxuan thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about the old Saint Son Feng Shao, or the new Saint Son Ye Chen?"

"Ye Chen?" Guan Shuo sneered, "He is a man with high aspirations but poor skills, not worth mentioning. Of course, I am talking about the old Saint Son Feng Shao."

Han Lingxuan asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Taiwei Sect is just a second-rate sect, why do you care so much about their Holy Son?"

Guan Shuo sighed and said, "I can't help but care! Think about me, your senior brother. Since I was canonized as the Holy Son, I have never suffered any loss, whether in or outside the Holy Land. But it happened that I suffered a loss at the hands of Feng Shao, and I couldn't get back at him. Junior sister, do you think this is funny?"

Han Lingxuan nodded: "It's really funny. But if you also think it's funny, then there's something wrong."

Guan Shuo pointed at the visiting card and said, "This Feng Shao is a talented person! If he could become a disciple of our Taixuan Holy Land, who knows who the Holy Son would be now! This person is careful and thorough in his actions, and he also has a bright and open mind. It is a pleasure to be with such a person, whether as an enemy or a friend."

Han Lingxuan rarely saw Guan Shuo praising someone so much, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious. She asked, "Since you think so highly of Feng Shao, why didn't you invite him to join our Taixuan Holy Land? Anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose between Taiwei Sect and Taixuan Holy Land, right?"

Guan Shuo shook his head and said, "If you think so, then you underestimate this person. I also thought of inviting him to join Taixuan Holy Land. But later I found that Feng Shao's ambitions were greater than I thought. Entering Taixuan Holy Land is not an opportunity for him, but a constraint. Therefore, I did not rashly make an invitation to avoid embarrassing both parties."

Han Lingxuan nodded and asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

Guan Shuo laughed loudly, stood up, and said, "Since they have brought their Taoist companions with them, we at Taixuan Holy Land should not be too petty, right? Junior Sister, follow me and go out to greet them."

After a pause, Guan Shuo continued, "In my name, hold a banquet in Qingxiao Palace to entertain the distinguished guests!"

Han Lingxuan was surprised when she heard this: "Brother, holding a banquet at Qingxiao Palace will cost you a lot of contribution points! Is it worth it just to entertain two people?"

Guan Shuo smiled in a cryptic way: "I don't know if it's worth it, I just know that I don't want others to look down on me!"

Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran didn't wait long before they saw Guan Shuo and a beautiful girl walking out together. Before Feng Shao could speak, Guan Shuo bowed and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, it has been three years since we last met in the Jade Secret Realm. Today, I see that Brother Feng is still as healthy as before. Congratulations!"

Feng Shao also bowed and smiled, "Brother Guan is so polite that I don't know what to say. Brother Guan invited me to come to Taixuan Holy Land for a gathering, but I delayed for three years before coming. I am really ashamed!"

The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

After all, the conflict between the two was not serious, and both of them were broad-minded people, so they would not take the small conflict in the past to heart. But taking it to heart is one thing, and the other party's attitude is another. This time when the two met again, just a few short words made them understand each other's attitude.

So all the grudges between the two were resolved.

Feng Shao introduced to Guan Shuo: "This is my fiancée, Lin Xiaoran."

Then he introduced to Lin Xiaoran: "Ran'er, this is the Holy Son of Taixuan Holy Land, Guan Shuo, whom I mentioned to you."

Lin Xiaoran bowed to Guan Shuo and said, "My humble servant greets you, Brother Guan. The reputation of the Holy Son of Taixuan spreads far and wide, and after meeting him today, I can see that his reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

Guan Shuo looked at Lin Xiaoran and was filled with admiration.

Of course, he had heard of Lin Xiaoran's name. He had only heard that Lin Xiaoran was extremely beautiful, but when he saw her now, he found that Lin Xiaoran was not only outstanding in appearance, but also full of heroic spirit, and had the demeanor of the free and easy fairy back then.

It is really enviable that Feng Shao has such a fiancée.

Guan Shuo returned the greeting to Lin Xiaoran and said, "I have long heard of the name of the Little Princess of Yunjian Pavilion."

Afterwards, Guan Shuo introduced Han Lingxuan to Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran. After the three of them greeted each other, they finally stepped into the Taixuan Holy Land.

While walking on the road, Guan Shuo said to Feng Shao, "Brother Feng, I heard a few days ago that you and Miss Lin had a marriage contract, but I couldn't believe it. Unexpectedly, I saw you and Miss Lin coming hand in hand today. It seems that the two of you are about to get married!"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Brother Guan. When we get married, I will invite Brother Guan and Miss Han to have a drink at the wedding."

"Then Lingxuan and I will respectfully obey your command!" Guan Shuo said with a smile.

Not long after, the group arrived at Qingxiao Palace.

Qingxiao Palace is the largest venue for entertaining guests in Taixuan Holy Land, and is not open to the public easily. Even Guan Shuo, the Holy Son, has to spend a lot of contribution points to be eligible to use Qingxiao Palace.

The Qingxiao Palace covers an area of ​​one hectare. It is magnificent with carved dragons and painted phoenixes. Every brick and tile is made of exquisite materials. It is neither luxurious nor elegant. Even Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran, who are used to seeing the architecture of Yunjian Pavilion, could not help but secretly marvel at the Qingxiao Palace.

At Guan Shuo's invitation, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran sat down to the table together. Guan Shuo was accompanied by Han Lingxuan alone.

In the huge palace, there were only these two men and two women, enjoying the unique feast of Taixuan Holy Land.

Feng Shao didn't expect that Guan Shuo would be so warm and hospitable, and his impression of Guan Shuo improved a little.

During the meal, the two chatted and laughed, not like they had conflicts before. Lin Xiaoran and Han Lingxuan cooperated by pouring wine for the two frequently, and occasionally responded to their conversation. The guests and hosts were all happy and joyful.

After three rounds of drinking, Guan Shuo suddenly said, "Brother Feng, although our friendship is shallow, we hit it off right away. There is one thing I have to remind you of."

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Brother Guan, are you talking about Chi Xuan, the Holy Son of Jiuyou Holy Land?"

Guan Shuo asked in surprise: "You also know this person?"

Feng Shao nodded: "I understand a little."

Guan Shuo said meaningfully: "Since you know something, then there is no need for me to say more. This Saint of Jiuyou has been in love with the little princess of Yunjian Pavilion for a long time, and once threatened to marry you. This man has always been unscrupulous in his actions, and I think it won't be long before he will take action against you."

Feng Shao said, "Even if he wants to attack me, I am not afraid of him. It's just that it's very boring to conflict with such people. So I thought, why not find an opportunity to cut off their thoughts! So as to avoid causing trouble for me in the future."

Guan Shuo was shocked: "Brother Feng, are you planning to do something big?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Since they want to play big, why not play bigger?"
