Chapter 68: Extraordinary Talent, Skilled in Song and Dance

Shen Zhuofeng grabbed Zhang Xiaocui and Liu Qingyan, shoved them into the bridal sedan, and swaggered in the lead.

The Shen family guards escorted them from front to back as they headed toward the Chengzhu Fu.

And at this moment.

The banquet plaza at the Chengzhu Fu was packed with people, bustling and extremely lively.

Including Lu Tianyu and Lu Wenbin, fourteen handsome young masters had already been brought to the most conspicuous spot at the banquet venue.

They sat down at two separate tables, seven people per table.

"Hm? The people from the Liuli Sect have arrived."

Lu Tianyu saw Liu Qingyan's master, who was also Zhang Xiaocui's master, Gu Yueying, along with two other elders.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "I'm afraid there's a good show to watch today."

"A good show?"

A handsome young master with a fair complexion sneered, "You can still laugh at a time like this?"

"We are all going to be taken away and ravaged by that Gui Sheng Xie Yi; who knows, we might even be sucked dry into mummies."

The slightly dark-skinned, handsome, and masculine man sitting opposite Lu Tianyu looked miserable: "Being sucked directly into a mummy would be a quick death."

"I heard that Gui Sheng Xie Yi likes to slice people up for research, putting us on a chopping board, cutting us slice by slice, digging out our livers and hearts, removing our kidneys for a barbecue..."

Speaking of this, he covered his face and began to wail.

The complexions of the other three turned pale instantly, and they trembled.

The seven people at the neighboring table also trembled upon hearing this.

Lu Tianyu looked at Qing Yuan with a strange expression, blinking his eyes.

The corners of Qing Yuan's mouth twitched, and her expression was ugly.

Although she would absorb the Yang energy of these people, she had never killed anyone, and she would even provide generous compensation.

Yet these people described her as a man-eating demon, which was truly hateful.

"The Kulu Zong Sect Master, Ming Lengye, has arrived, offering two Condensing Infant Pills!"

"The Tianling Sect Sect Master, Zong Yu, has arrived, offering one Tianling Pillar!"

"Liuli Sect Elder Gu Yueying has arrived, offering one set of Emerald Glazed Qilin!"

Diling City Lord Shen Guanghan stood up and walked down from the platform to welcome them.

He walked straight up to Gu Yueying and grabbed her hand, fumbling with it: "The in-law has arrived; I am deeply honored."

"By the way, something came up suddenly that I didn't discuss with you; Liu Qingyan has also agreed to marry Zhuofeng. It's a double celebration today!"

"I intend to gift the Zhuofeng Inn to you as a dowry; the in-law shouldn't refuse, right?"

Swish!

Gu Yueying shook off Shen Guanghan's lecherous hand and said angrily: "What did you say?"

"Liu Qingyan is acting as a dowry gift today? This is absolutely out of the question!"

"You didn't notify me in advance; this matter needs to be discussed further!"

"Shen Guanghan, you've gone too far! Do you think my Liuli Sect is made of mud?"

Shen Guanghan wasn't angry at all; he chuckled: "What if I add the Lingfeng Inn?"

Seeing Gu Yueying remain silent, Shen Guanghan immediately increased the stakes: "The ownership of the pill shop you rent from the Liuli Sect will belong to the Liuli Sect?"

"Plus two High-grade Spirit Veins?"

"Five Medium-grade Spirit Veins?"

His small eyes rolled around, staring at the magnificence on Gu Yueying's chest.

Gu Yueying's expression finally softened, and she held up two fingers: "And add the Lingyue Brothel."

"Xiao Cui is marrying over; I asked for too little!"

"Deal!"

As they spoke, Shen Guanghan grabbed Gu Yueying's hand and took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist, "Shall we also enter the bridal chamber tonight?"

He had coveted Gu Yueying's voluptuous figure for a long time without success and had been drooling over it for ages.

He was using this opportunity to see if there was a chance.

Gu Yueying angrily shook off Shen Guanghan's hand and walked ahead: "In your dreams!"

Shen Guanghan followed, thinking to himself, can you run away today?

Since you've come, it's not up to you anymore.

Shen Guanghan led Gu Yueying and the other two Liuli Sect members to sit beside the main seat and cupped his hands toward the crowd below: "Everyone, the auspicious hour has arrived!"

"Please bring the two brides onto the stage!"

The sound of drums and music rose.

"Wasn't it said to be one person? How did it become two?" someone asked in confusion.

"I know about this. I just heard that the Liuli Sect's number one beauty, Liu Qingyan, has also come as a dowry gift, hehe."

"Now that you say that, I understand. Liu Qingyan broke off her engagement with Lu Tianyu of the Donghuang Clan just to get connected with the Young City Lord."

"That's understandable. That godforsaken place of the Bahuang is too poor to have any dowry, and besides, the Bahuang is about to be wiped out, so it's even more impossible."

Listening to the chattering discussion, Lu Tianyu looked at Liu Qingyan, who was being helped over alongside Zhang Xiaocui, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just at this moment, Liu Qingyan's gaze also looked over, and she was slightly startled.

She secretly thought, this look is so familiar?

Her heart suddenly tightened!

He is Lu Tianyu, here in disguise!

When Lu Tianyu focused his attention on her, it was exactly this kind of look.

A thought suddenly arose in Liu Qingyan's heart: was Lu Tianyu here to save her?

She did not know why, but she desperately longed for Lu Tianyu to come and save her.

Yet this was clearly impossible; Lu Tianyu's gaze had shifted away.

At this moment, Liu Qingyan had already walked onto the high platform, being led by the hand by Shen Zhuofeng like a wooden puppet.

Only at this moment did Liu Qingyan remember that she had never been held by the hand by Lu Tianyu.

"Hahaha!"

Shen Guanghan laughed loudly: "Thank you all very much for your support."

"Today is my son's wedding day, and there is one more matter I must ask you all to help with."

He pointed his finger at the woman sitting on a chair to the side, whose face was pale and who was as thin as a stick: "I presume many of you know that this is my wife, with whom I have shared life's hardships for many years."

"She has suffered from consumption for many years, and I have searched for famous doctors everywhere but failed to cure my wife's illness; this has become a heart-sickness that has troubled me for years!"

"Taking this opportunity, I am offering a heavy reward for a healer to treat my wife!"

Shen Guanghan waved his hand: "Bring them up!"

When the fourteen people from Lu Tianyu's two tables were brought onto the high platform, Shen Guanghan said with a smile: "These are the male concubines I have carefully selected."

"They not only look handsome and dashing, but also possess unique bone structures, infinite potential, and are skilled in singing and dancing."

"Their greatest advantage is that they are full of Yang energy, which can be absorbed."

"As long as one can cure my wife's illness, not only will they become an honored guest of my Diling Sect, but they will also be able to have them!"

After speaking, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking around at the surroundings while waiting.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Why give away male concubines for treating an illness? Only rich women like that sort of thing; we grown men find these people disgusting!"

"Shh—keep your voice down! Their goal isn't to have you treat the illness, and you don't have that ability anyway; they are trying to lure out the Gui Sheng Xie Yi."

"I understand! The City Lord's wife has had consumption for years and no one can cure it; only the Gui Sheng Xie Yi can cure the City Lord's wife's illness. I heard the Gui Sheng Xie Yi has been spotted in the Diling City area."

Since the bait had already been cast, Shen Guanghan was not in the least bit anxious and waited quietly.

It was just that he did not notice.

One of the male concubines slowly walked in front of the woman with consumption and sneered: "Consumption?"

"It looks like consumption on the outside, but it is actually a phenomenon of decay caused by practicing an evil Yin technique to a certain level."

"If I am not mistaken, the technique you practice is the Yin Demon Beast-Gathering Bone-Melting Art, which uses Living Souls for cultivation, and you suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao when advancing, resulting in this appearance!"
