Zhongzhou, Tianxian City

Tianxian City’s celebration only happens once every hundred years, so Lin Jiang didn’t want to miss the opportunity. He’s also a person who loves lively atmospheres.

After settling down, Lin Jiang took Small Shadiao out. Small Shadiao is quite skilled at hiding his secret money, so Lin Jiang needs to find a way to empty it, or else this kid will try to talk to the little fairy without any concern. Lin Jiang has a responsibility to make him a good person.

"Finished eating, pay the bill."

"What?"

"Look for yourself. I only had one bowl, but you had over twenty. If you don’t pay, then who will?"

Lin Jiang pointed at the leftover food on the table and said to Small Shadiao. The food in Tianxian City is pretty good. It’s definitely not a food desert. When you come here, you should try the food. And of course, if you can get a free meal, go for it.

"I don’t have any money, so I won’t pay."

"Alright, boss. I can’t pay the bill, so let him wash dishes."

Lin Jiang said to the waiter nearby. The waiter’s face turned gloomy. You guys are a Golden Core cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet you still want to eat for free? This meal doesn’t cost many spirit stones, after all.

"You’re tough, I’ll endure it."

Small Shadiao was shocked by Lin Jiang’s shamelessness and took out two spirit stones to pay the bill.

"Hahaha…"

Lin Jiang laughed loudly and walked away, patting his bottom.

"Hey Small Shadiao, have you heard of the famous fairies in Tianxian City? Would you be interested in having a heart-to-heart with them?"

"No way! They just want to trick me into giving them money. I am a married man and I never do unethical things like that."

"You’re the one who competes with Wei Lin over petty things! How dare you say such things?"

Lin Jiang became extremely angry, thinking that this jerk must have colluded with Lin Kai at the party and intentionally didn’t invite him. He was so furious.

Small Shadiao was left speechless. He felt it was better to keep quiet. After all, he couldn’t withdraw the money now. It wasn’t easy to earn some savings and build a small nest egg. He had sold his feathers and claws for this money. It was like selling oneself.

"It’s boring, let’s go back."

When Lin Jiang couldn’t find Small Shadiao, he felt bored. He decided to bring him back and let Big Shadiao teach him a lesson. If he didn’t listen, he would be punished.

"Brother, brother."

Big Shadiao saw Lin Jiang come back and got so excited that he wanted to jump up. He kept rubbing against Lin Jiang. This is a habit from when they were young.

"Where is my Third Auntie."

Lin Jiang pushed Big Shadiao’s head away and said. Wake up! You’re a grown-up now, not a bird.

"An annoying person has come. Hmph."

"Annoying person, the leader?"

"No, it’s an annoying person."

"Who?"

"Just an annoying person."

Big Shadiao wasn’t very smart, so it’s better for her to just fight.

"Go, beat up your little brother, he didn’t give money for today’s meal."

"Oh my goodness!"

Small Shadiao went crazy and ran as soon as she turned around.

Lin Jiang went to find Lin Die, and there was a man beside her. Lin Jiang quickly looked him up and down, he was such a handsome man. If it weren’t for his Adam’s apple, Lin Jiang would have thought he was a woman.

"This person

"I am her nephew, who are you?"

"I am Gu Hengbo, a disciple of the Danxia Sect."

"Gu Hengbo, who is Gu Pingbo to you?"

"Gu Pingbo is my second older brother, from the same father, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I have been friends with Gu Pingbo for a long time."

"Really? I haven’t heard from him and haven’t seen him for many years. Isn’t he wandering the world?"

Gu Hengbo was a bit doubtful. In fact, he wasn’t very familiar with Gu Pingbo. Although they were brothers, there was a big age difference between them. After Gu Pingbo wandered in the Divine Kingdom for many years, he left Danxia Sect after a few years and went on to wander the world.

"What’s fake about it? Senior Gu Pingbo is now in Yun State, seeking a place to retire."

"Is that so?"

Gu Hengbo frowned, unsure of what to say. Danxia Sect was a big family, but Nascent Soul cultivators were not that many. Gu Pingbo leaving the clan and going to Yun State to retire left him at a loss for words.

"Since you have a connection, you can talk first."

Lin Die saw this and quickly ran away, Gu Hengbo opened his mouth but didn’t react to the fact that Lin Die had already disappeared.

"Are you really Long Yan girl’s nephew?"

"Of course, I’m called Dragon, but you can call me Long Wu."

"Long Wu, you’re the fifth in order, better than me. I’m the sixth brother."

"Do they call you Gu Laoliu?"

"Ahem, you can’t be so disrespectful. I am a Nascent Soul, you should call me senior."

"You want to be my uncle-in-law and you still want to talk about manners?"

"Ah, you, you…"

Gu Hengbo blushed deeply when he heard Lin Jiang’s words. Can he really say something like that?

"Why, don’t you want to be my uncle?"

"Ah, no, well, how could you do that?"

"If you don’t want to, let me tell you, there are many people pursuing my Third Auntie, and you don’t stand a chance."

"Is it true or false, are you lying to me?"

"Lying to you? My Third Auntie is so beautiful, elegant, young, and has a cultivation of Nascent Soul. Do you think no one would pursue her?"

"Well, how do you think of me, dear nephew?"

Gu Hengbo was completely fooled and immediately looked at Lin Jiang with a pleasing smile.

"You, well, you seem alright."

"How can it be just alright? Let me tell you, I am the chief Nascent Soul cultivator of the Danxia Sect."

"No, I heard that the leader of the Nascent Soul in the Danxia Sect is not you."

"It’s different, I am the chief alchemist. My second elder brother, Gu Pingbo, is quite talented in alchemy. He can’t compare to me. Really, three years ago I could already refine sixth-grade superior pills."

"That’s so impressive."

Lin Jiang was also a bit surprised. This guy seemed a bit effeminate, but he didn’t expect his alchemy talent to be so impressive.

"That’s necessary. Otherwise, how can I be called the chief alchemist? Can you speak up for me, Third Auntie? I genuinely like you. You really suit my taste."

"How do you like me?"

"Confident and spirited, that’s what I like. What’s the point of a woman being overly delicate? She should have some elegance."

"Is that so?"

Lin Jiang looked up at him. Your appearance doesn’t really match the confident and spirited image, I guess Lin Die wouldn’t like the delicate pretty boy vibe.

"Don’t look at me like that, I don’t like men, I like confident women."

"Cough cough, I’m a bit hungry."

"I understand, let’s go, my uncle will take you to have delicious food."

"It’s too early to say, my aunt doesn’t like arrogant people."

"Alright, call Sixth Brother."

"Okay, Gu Laoliu."

Gu Hengbo held back, all for the sake of his beloved. He endured.

Gu Hengbo took Lin Jiang to a big restaurant for a meal, Lin Jiang brought Small Shadiao along, since he eats a lot, it’s good to have an extra food container.

Gu Hengbo was very surprised when he saw Small Shadiao. There aren’t many fourth-tier beast pets in the cultivation world, and only those who can afford them are not independent cultivators.

However, he became even happier. Gu Family is a big clan in the Danxia Sect. If they could form an alliance with another big clan, their family would definitely not oppose it. On the contrary, if the other party had no background at all, they would rely on Gu Family for support instead of opposing it. This is called a perfect match.

Of course, Lin Jiang was also not there just to freeload. He was also observing Gu Hengbo. If Lin Die could find a good home, he would be happy.

However, the requirements for a good home were quite high. For example, they couldn’t have multiple wives or indulge in worldly pursuits. Lin Jiang had some double standards in this regard. He could do it himself, but his brother-in-law couldn’t.

After a meal, Lin Jiang tried to figure out Gu Hengbo’s situation. Gu Hengbo was indeed a talented member of the Gu Family, similar to Lin Dongyan in some ways. They were both tech-savvy guys, but had eccentric personalities and a feminine dressing style. Gu Hengbo wore more makeup than Lin Die, indicating that he was skilled in women’s fashion.

However, this was just an initial assessment. Lin Jiang couldn’t determine the specific situation yet. He needed more time to observe, as time reveals true colors.

Gu Hengbo tried to extract information from Lin Jiang multiple times, but Lin Jiang skillfully avoided revealing too much. He didn’t uncover Lin Die’s background either, as Lin Family’s identity was sensitive in the cultivation world due to their known conflicts with Qing State.

After finishing the meal, Lin Jiang left Gu Hengbo and returned to the inn. Lin Ying had already come back and was discussing matters with Lin Die.

"Auntie Three, Auntie Ten"

"Where did you go?"

"Went to eat with Gu Hengbo."

"You’re not going to sell me after just one meal, right?"

"Third Auntie, look at what you’re saying. Am I that kind of person? But, on first impression, this Gu Hengbo is not bad. He’s not someone with deep schemes."

"Such a fool."

Lin Die rolled her eyes, no scheming, isn’t that just a fool? Just a simple second generation protected by the family.

"Third Auntie doesn’t like this person?"

"I have no interest in marriage in this lifetime."

"Why? Although there are high-level female cultivators who don’t get married, they are still in the minority."

"You don’t need a reason to not get married, but you do need a reason to get married."

Lin Die said that she had already seen it clearly. As strong as her father was, with a dominating presence, there were so many messy relationships in their family. Until now, she hadn’t seen many high-ranking male cultivators who were clean in matters of the heart. They were all messing around, including her nephew in front of her, who would constantly go and have heart-to-heart talks with women.

"Third Sister is right. Nowadays, male cultivators with abilities have three or four concubines, and those without abilities are worthless. They look repulsive. Women need to be independent and strong, they don’t need men."

"There are good men too. My master Zhang Wanjing was loyal to one person his whole life. And Li Ruoxu, isn’t he the same?"

"There are so many Nascent Soul male cultivators, how many of them are like this?"

"Um…"

Lin Jiang was left speechless by this. It was true, there weren’t many good men, and he wasn’t one either.

"Don’t interfere in adult matters, and don’t get involved with Gu Hengbo either. It will be hard to handle later."

"Don’t worry, it’s just a meal. I wouldn’t dare to take any advantages from it."

Lin Jiang nodded, he wasn’t foolish, having a meal or not didn’t matter, he couldn’t accept any real benefits.

"Just missing the last ingredient, once we have it, we can start alchemy."

Lin Ying sighed, after planning for so long, they were only missing the last ingredient, hoping nothing unexpected would happen.
