Chapter 190: Luxurious
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the Leng family sent that monk Song with a team of guards to invite them.
It was the shopkeeper who led them here, and he was very respectful to the disciples of the Leng family.
Monk Song said to Gu Liyue, "Miss, please have dinner with us. Please come in!"
Gu Liyue looked at this team of guards. They had cold expressions and an imposing aura. Ordinary people would want to avoid them. Why did Leng Jiaojiao make such a big fuss?
"We still have a partner who hasn't returned yet. We have to wait for her to come back before we go together."
Monk Song appeared respectful, but his words were unquestionable. He said, "Then I will wait here too."
Xiao Xuan said: "Most of the guards in this group are in the middle stage of Jindan, you can't defeat them!
Bai Rui was so anxious that he yelled, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Gu Liyue calmed the two in the space.
Nie Hengzhou looked at Monk Song and said, "You're here with a team of guards. Aren't you disturbing the other guests?"
Monk Song glanced at the shopkeeper and asked casually, "Did you say we were disturbing your business?"
The shopkeeper, Cheng Huang, said fearfully, "No, I won't bother you at all."
Everyone: "..." It seems that the Leng family is very powerful!
Monk Song raised his eyebrows and looked at Nie Hengzhou, his expression seemed to say: Look, the shopkeeper said he doesn't want to disturb you!
Gu Liyue had no choice but to send a communication talisman to Qingxiao and tell her that the Leng family invited them to dinner.
After a while, Qingxiao came back.
Everyone felt a lot more at ease, as if someone had come to support them.
She asked Gu Liyue, "What's going on? Those who know it's a treat, but those who don't think it's an arrest! Such a big deal."
Monk Song said, "I brought my guards here to protect everyone. The city has been a bit unstable lately, and a female monk with a high level of cultivation has sneaked in."
Qing Xiao thought: This human cultivator never speaks directly, always beating around the bush. Is he alluding to someone like this? That shouldn't be the case. She knew she hadn't revealed any flaws!
"Oh, I wonder if anyone has seen this female cultivator?"
Monk Song looked at the several female cultivators present. Their cultivation wasn't very advanced, so he dispelled his doubts.
"That's not the case, but she seems to have robbed someone else of their opportunity."
Gu Liyue asked, "There's something like this. Could it be related to the strange phenomenon in the forest that day?"
Monk Song seemed unwilling to say more. He said, "I will escort you all to the Leng Mansion."
Gu Liyue nodded.
Monk Song added, "I've checked you out. You probably won't be coming back, so please take your belongings with you."
Qingxiao frowned, Gu Liyue shook her head slightly, looked at everyone again, and asked everyone to pack up.
No one wanted to go to the Leng Mansion at first, but seeing that the guards' cultivation level was probably higher than theirs, it was not easy to confront them head-on, so they had to listen to Gu Liyue.
The group arrived at the gate of Leng Mansion. The gate of Leng Mansion was very wide, and two huge Qilin beasts were squatting at the gate. One was two people tall, and the carvings were lifelike and majestic.
I don’t know what material the stone is made of, but Gu Liyue always feels like it’s alive.
Qing Xiao whispered, "Don't look at it, it will distract you."
Gu Liyue then shifted her gaze to look at the plaque on the gate. Inscribed on it were two large characters "Leng Mansion". The characters were written in a bold and powerful style, displaying a majestic aura.
They were led to a side hall, where Leng Jiaojiao sat at the main seat. She was drinking a cup of spiritual tea. Seeing them come in, she happily put down the cup and said, "I was afraid you wouldn't trust others, so I sent Senior Brother Rong to pick you up. What took you so long?"
Gu Liyue said, "One of our companions is out and hasn't returned yet, so we had no choice but to wait for her to come back before joining us. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Song to cancel our room."
Leng Jiaojiao waved to Monk Song, and Monk Song went down.
She said, "Don't worry, I told him to leave. Since we are friends, how could I let you stay in an inn when we arrived in Qilin City? An inn is not comfortable and convenient."
Yun Lizhi complained inwardly: "It's because of you that we're worried! We're worried about our men."
Leng Jiaojiao saw that everyone's faces were not very good and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you not happy that I'm treating you?"
Gu Liyue said, "Of course we're happy that you're treating us, but your way of doing it isn't very nice. Many people on the street are saying that we were taken to the Leng Mansion."
Leng Jiaojiao said angrily, "There's such a thing! It must be my Senior Brother Song who messed it up. I'll go talk to his master later."
Gu Liyue wanted to ask her whether what she said was true or false, but she felt it was unimportant.
Leng Jiaojiao added: "Don't be unhappy! The food is ready, let's go eat first."
Xiao Xuan said, "There's a Nascent Soul cultivator nearby observing you."
Gu Liyue looked at Qingxiao, then at Nie Hengzhou and the others. Everyone followed Leng Jiaojiao to the dining room and took their seats.
Leng Jiaojiao said to the door: "Serve the food."
Maids filed in, each holding a tray with dishes on it.
Leng Jiaojiao just looked at the handsome men with a smile, and did not do anything excessive.
Why had they invited them here with such fanfare? It couldn't be just to make friends, could it? Or was she overthinking it? Gu Liyue pondered, unable to figure it out, but she didn't want to put it aside for now.
The dishes on the table were indeed plentiful, but everyone seemed to be distracted while eating. Only Gu Liyue and Qingxiao seemed to be contented with their meal.
After dinner, Leng Jiaojiao took them to visit the garden. The Leng Mansion was really magnificent, and the back garden was exquisite and beautiful with changing scenery. The flowers and plants there also contained rich spiritual energy.
Everyone sat down in a pavilion surrounded by a sea of flowers. Six luminous pearls were placed in the pavilion, and the faint light made the entire pavilion as bright as day.
The materials used to build the pavilion do not seem to be ordinary. They are emerald green all over, with a soft texture, and they constantly exude spiritual energy.
The Leng family also looks extremely luxurious.
The maid came over to serve spiritual tea and snacks.
Gu Liyue asked, "Jiaojiao, if you order us to cancel our rooms, where are we going to sleep tonight?"
Leng Jiaojiao said: "Don't worry, the guest rooms have been arranged."
Xiao Ju took a sip of the spiritual tea and said, "I heard from Fellow Daoist Song that the city has been a bit chaotic these past few days. What's going on?"
Leng Jiaojiao said, "It's not a big deal. I just don't know which female cultivator stole the opportunity of a disciple from a certain sect with some status. That person came to the Leng family and asked for help. My Leng family head has some connections with that sect, so I helped to investigate."
Qingxiao complained in his heart: Are you calling for help just because you can’t win?
Xiahou Jingrong said, "Oh, so that's how it is! Has there been any progress?"
Leng Jiaojiao said: "We are investigating in the city, but there are no clues yet."
Leng Jiaojiao looked at Xiahou Jingrong and thought he was very handsome, especially his white hair, which looked soft and eye-catching.
Gu Liyue said, "Jiaojiao, the Dongfeng family is recruiting new members this time, do you want to go and take a look?"
"Yeah, I'm going to join in the fun! If you want to go, you can go with us brothers and sisters."
