Chapter 2227: Chapter 736: What Are the Odds?_3
After all, with two Nascent Soul elder sisters, Shen Yiren need not compromise with anyone.
However, it can’t be ruled out that Elder Jing Qing might have devoted his early years to cultivation, having little interest in romantic matters, and only after breaking through to Nascent Soul did he start his pursuit, gaining an advantage by being close by.
“Tsk, trying to win over such a woman, how difficult it is.”
Lu Changsheng knew that to form a Dao couple with a woman like Shen Yiren, only slow mutual attraction would work; it’s hard to achieve that quickly.
He waved a hand at Song Yudie, indicating to be informed about the auction at Penglai Immortal City, and then went into closed-door cultivation to draw talismans.
…
Half a year later.
Lu Changsheng received a message from Song Yudie.
Stating that the auction would start in three days, and now he could proceed with the high rank cultivators of the Goddess Palace.
“Alright.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng lightly dusted off his robe and walked out of Rongyue Island to the gates of the Goddess Palace.
He could see five or six figures, with Shen Yiren at the front.
Her hair was elegantly styled, and she wore a luxurious greenish-blue robe, seated with grace and beauty on a Five-Colored Spirit Deer, exuding elegance and charm.
Lu Changsheng immediately recognized that this Five-Colored Spirit Deer was no ordinary beast, belonging to a Heavenly Grade Bloodline Spiritual Beast.
“Daoist Xuanmu.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng approaching, Shen Yiren greeted with a charming smile, her voice gentle and captivating.
Several Core Formation cultivators nearby also cupped their hands in greeting, nodding at Lu Changsheng, observing him closely.
After all, a newly arrived late-stage Core Formation honored guest at the Goddess Palace was no small matter, and it was a chance to get acquainted.
“I’ve heard Elder Xuanmu is proficient in medical arts and talismans. I too have some insights in the Talisman Path, perhaps we could exchange notes sometime.”
A man with white hair and beard but a youthful face spoke courteously to Lu Changsheng.
“Most welcome.”
Although Lu Changsheng had no interest in such things.
Since he was now known as Xuanmu Zhenren, a clan and loose cultivator, he naturally welcomed interactions for mutual improvement.
Otherwise, showing sole interest in Shen Yiren would seem too obvious.
After a short wait, two more Core Formation cultivators arrived, and the group set out for Penglai Immortal City together.
On the way, all the cultivators who saw them respectfully greeted them.
After all, besides such high-rank cultivator auctions, it was rare to see so many Core Formation cultivators traveling together under normal circumstances.
“Greetings to the Third Palace Master, and all elders!”
“Uncle-Master, Aunt.”
Arriving at Penglai Immortal City, several disciples from the Goddess Palace greeted them with respect, led by two women of striking appearance, one older and one younger.
The older one appeared to be twenty-eight or twenty-nine, extraordinarily beautiful, with exquisite features that lent her an air of cool detachment.
Her figure was tall and graceful, rivalling Shen Yiren’s, with glimpses of dainty white embroidered shoes peeking from under her flowing white tassel dress.
Next to her, the younger girl’s figure could not compare, showing only the budding traces of elegance, though her beauty was not much lesser than the older woman’s.
“Yuning, Wanzhao.”
Shen Yiren’s voice was like a clear spring, as she introduced the people around her to them.
Then, taking Qin Yunning’s hand, she said to Lu Changsheng: “Yuning, this is Elder Xuanmu who helped you back then.”
“Yuning greets Elder Xuanmu, thank you for your assistance back then!”
Qin Yunning looked at the elegantly handsome Lu Changsheng before her, cupping her hands in salute, her graceful figure subtly revealed, wonderfully attractive.
“You’re too kind, Daoist.”
Having been in the Goddess Palace for a while, Lu Changsheng knew that Qin Yunning was a disciple of the palace’s main figure, Great Palace Master Shen Jianjia, hence Shen Yiren’s personal visit to express gratitude.
He was, however, more surprised and bewildered by Shen Wanzhao nearby.
Thinking to himself, how could this be!?
At first glance, he recognized her as the young girl he met when sending his son, Lu Quanzhen, to the Starry Sky Sea years ago for directions and treatment.
Never could he have imagined that she would call Shen Yiren her aunt!
But the Great Palace Master had no Dao companion, and the Second Palace Master seemed to have no daughter, right?
