Chapter 2239: Coming in leisurely
Duan Ye nodded and told the two of them. “Prepare hot water for baths in the evening.”
After a brief surprise, Lu Xiyan replied, “Yes, I will keep it in mind. We’re leaving first and won’t disturb Martial Uncle Duan’s rest.” With that, the two girls saluted before turning around to leave.
After they left, Duan Ye went to the room to rest. Ruan Ru, while leaving the courtyard, couldn’t help commenting. “When we’re in the sect, we all heard that Martial Uncle Duan was aloof towards women and not sociable with others. I don’t expect him to be so attentive towards Ghost Doctor.”
“So, we can’t believe the rumours. We have to see the facts with our own eyes.” Lu Xiyan smiled. “Martial Uncle Duan said just now that he will also lend his hand to catch the devilry cultivators who killed female cultivators in the city recently. With him here, I believe that soon the residents won’t be this anxious. ”
“Yes! It’s really a coincidence that Martial Uncle Duan passed this city. Otherwise, it’s difficult to ask him to help due to our status in the sect.”
The two were talking while walking back to their courtyard. In the evening, the servants sent hot water for baths. When the sky was getting dark, they waited for the two guests in the courtyard.
A banquet was arranged in the City Lord Mansion that night. All the cultivators were in their seats, talking and laughing. The servants were delivering food and wine in succession. At this time, it was announced that the City Lord had arrived. All the guests stood up.
“City Lord Lu.” The guests smiled and cupped their fists to salute.
“Haha, there’s no need to be too polite, everyone. Please take your seats.” City Lord Lu smiled back and asked everyone to sit down. With a sweep of his glance, he saw several empty seats and looked at the steward. “Xiyan isn’t here yet?”
“Master, Young Miss went to Immortal Lord Duan. She should be coming soon.” The steward replied in a low voice.
The City Lord gave a slight nod, sat down, and told the guests. “Everyone, I am very grateful to you for being here to uphold justice. I’m troubling everyone this time, hereto I will first give you a toast.”
“City Lord Lu is too modest.” Everyone smiled. They took their wine cups and drank them down.
At this time, having met Duan Ye but didn’t see his figure, some people were talking. “Why hasn’t this Immortal Friend come?”
“He should be here soon, right? It is said that Miss Lu went to invite him.”
“Haha, Immortal Friend Duan is too arrogant. Knowing that there will be a banquet tonight, Miss Lu has to go invite him. It’s really…” The speaker shook his head.
Sitting alone, Yi Xiuran drank wine. He didn’t pay attention to what others were currently discussing. He just shook the wine cup in his hand gently, turning it around in his hand disinterestedly.
“Father, Martial Uncle Duan is here.”
When Lu Xiyan’s voice was heard, everyone followed to take a look. They saw Lu Xiyan and Ruan Ru walking in front. Behind them were Duan Ye and a gorgeous woman in red who was walking at a leisurely pace.
When they saw the woman in red, all the cultivators were surprised. Many people had some amazement in their eyes.
Who was this woman? Why hadn’t they seen her during the day? Seeing her in a red dress with a relaxed posture that carried a kind of indolent aura, her beautiful face was set against her dazzling red dress, she had an enchanting and devilish aura, making them unable to take their eyes off her. They only felt their hearts moved by this unparalleled and stunning beauty.
Of course, they soon realized that something was wrong. There was no trace of spirit energy breath on this woman’s body. Was she perhaps an ordinary mortal?
The crowd of cultivators were astonished and started examining her very carefully.
