Chapter 80: Guo Zhuying, an Ice Block?
I saw Ancestor Changmei and Guo Laotou standing on either side of the doorway, like two door gods.
Lu Tianyu asked in surprise, "You, you two are..."
Guo Laotou chuckled, "We naturally have serious business finding you; we've been waiting for you for a day and a night."
"You really are busy."
Ancestor Changmei smiled and took Lu Tianyu's hand, pulling him outside: "Come with me."
Lu Tianyu was very confused: "Grandfather, what is this all about?"
The expressions and behavior of these two were somewhat strange, making him feel suspicious.
Ancestor Changmei got straight to the point: "A while ago, Grandfather went to the Tianshan Sect and found a partner for you; now, she has come to find you."
"She has been waiting for you for a day and a night."
Guo Boxiong added, "My granddaughter is naturally arrogant and doesn't look up to ordinary people, so you must make a good impression."
"By the way, my granddaughter has a bit of a bad temper; as a man, you should know how to be accommodating and tolerant. I think you should be able to understand."
A smile like an old fox's played on his face.
"Ah?" Lu Tianyu stopped in his tracks, "That, you two want to set me up on a date?"
"That, I'm not ready yet. I was just engaged to be married, and now the situation in the Bahuang Star Domain is dire; it's not a good time for dating, is it?"
"Maybe we can talk about it later."
His energy was currently focused on cultivation, and he had no mind to put his energy into finding a partner.
Moreover, he had no intention of finding a partner.
"How can that be?"
A warm smile appeared on Guo Laotou's face, "It's only after breaking an engagement that one should look for a partner; if you hadn't broken it, there wouldn't be an opportunity."
"My granddaughter is usually busy with cultivation and has no time at all; it was hard enough for her to find the time."
In truth, he was also quite helpless regarding his own granddaughter, Guo Zhuying.
This girl was always single-mindedly focused on cultivation; he had introduced her to many people from prestigious sects, but she wouldn't even look at them and would reject them directly.
He and his son were actually not anxious at all; for those who cultivate immortality, reaching the pinnacle of the Martial Dao is the ultimate goal, and a Dao Companion is not important.
But he didn't know how the old fellow Changmei had coaxed her, as his granddaughter had actually agreed to meet Lu Tianyu.
Moreover, she had taken the initiative to suggest the meeting to him.
He always felt this matter was a bit strange, but whenever he asked his granddaughter, she wouldn't say anything.
That old fellow Changmei also refused to speak a word about it.
Ancestor Changmei said solemnly, "Yu'er, Guo Laotou's granddaughter is much better than that Qingyan person; she is beautiful and kind."
"She doesn't look up to ordinary people, but she was somewhat moved after seeing your appearance."
"Grandfather spent a great deal of effort and relied on my silver tongue to persuade her."
"You aren't young anymore; it's time to find a marriage match."
In truth, there was one thing he hadn't said.
The Bahuang Star Domain was now at its most critical moment, and it was said that the formation-breaking master Liu Jinzi would arrive at the Ghost Saint Evil Doctor's sect soon.
The Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array might be broken at any moment, and when that happened, the Bahuang Star Domain would truly be finished.
Introducing a partner to Lu Tianyu was also a way to find him a final retreat.
Ancestor Changmei did not doubt the ability of Gui Sheng Xie Yi in the slightest.
However, there is always a "what if" in everything.
Liu Jinzi was not a good sort; he had extensive connections and was extremely difficult to deal with, so one had to prepare for the worst.
"She only took a liking to me?"
Lu Tianyu was completely bewildered: "Is it because I'm handsome, or is it because I'm handsome?"
He was very confused; to be moved just by seeing a projected appearance was clearly not normal.
Cultivators have sharp minds and firm wills; they are not the type to be moved just by looks.
There must be something fishy about this, and he couldn't help but be curious.
Ancestor Changmei patted Lu Tianyu on the shoulder: "Yu'er, there are many handsome men, but the most important thing between a man and a woman is a connection of the eyes."
"Of course, my Yu'er is the most handsome in the Tianhe Galaxy, and his charm is also unique."
He wore a smile, yet a trace of sadness was hidden deep in his eyes.
While they were talking, the three of them walked to the vegetable garden in the backyard.
Lu Tianyu saw a woman in white as snow, holding a Watering Can and watering a pot of flowers.
The woman had her back to him.
From behind, Lu Tianyu could see that the woman had a tall and graceful figure, and her movements were gentle and elegant.
As he got closer, Lu Tianyu felt a faint, cold aura.
Sensing someone's arrival, the woman slowly turned around, revealing a fair face that could topple cities and states.
The woman had a melon-seed face and willow-leaf eyebrows, and her eyes, like spring water, were devoid of any emotion.
As their eyes met, Lu Tianyu's heart was violently shaken.
This woman was too cold!
That's right, just cold!
The woman's face was like frost, and a chilling, intimidating light shot from her cold eyes, invisibly giving people a feeling of "strangers keep away."
Moreover, Lu Tianyu sensed a trace of icy aura from the woman.
To sum it up, it was one word: "Cold"!
To put it bluntly, she was an ice block.
"Tianyu, this is my granddaughter, Guo Zhuying."
Guo Boxiong introduced her to Lu Tianyu, then pointed at Lu Tianyu and introduced him, "Yingying, this young master is the Lu Tianyu I told you about, the Saint Son of the Donghuang Clan in the Bahuang Star Domain."
The young woman nodded slightly, her red lips parting slightly to utter two words: "Very well!"
Her voice was crisp, like jade beads falling onto a porcelain plate.
Then, she glanced at Ancestor Changmei, and subsequently looked at Guo Boxiong.
Guo Boxiong hurriedly spoke up: "Yingying needs to stay in Diling City for a month."
"Tianyu, you are the host; take Yingying around to look at things, you decide the itinerary, and you must arrange it well."
He spoke with a hidden meaning.
Ancestor Changmei added: "Yuer, feel free to take Yingying in and out of Diling City."
"Guo Lao has already greeted the Sect Master of the Diling Sect; no one will dare to stop her."
The implication was that since Guo Zhuying is a member of the Tianshan Sect, with her accompanying him, no one would dare touch him, and he could act freely.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Lu Tianyu cupped his fists toward Guo Boxiong and Ancestor Changmei: "I have urgent matters to attend to right now that will take a few days; how about we discuss this after I finish my business and return?"
He was not happy about the prospect of taking an ice block around everywhere.
Besides, he had many other things to do besides cultivation, and he simply had no time to accompany a woman around shopping.
Guo Boxiong chuckled: "Kid, are you planning to go to the Xuanqing Sect to rescue your mother?"
"If you take Yingying with you, it will surely be twice the result with half the effort; even if the Xuanqing Sect were given ten times the courage, they would not dare to offend the Saintess of my Tianshan Sect."
Seeing the look of surprise on Lu Tianyu's face, he explained: "Everyone knows about your affairs."
"You disguised yourself as a member of the Xuanqing Sect to attack the Nether Three Sects, killing and burning; the Xuanqing Sect has placed a massive bounty on you, and Luo Qianqiu has been leading people to search for you everywhere for two days now."
Guo Boxiong gave Lu Tianyu a thumbs up: "I have to say, your abilities, kid, have exceeded my imagination; you actually managed to sow discord among the commanders of the Xuan Yi Guard; you have quite the talent."
"The commander of the Xuan Yi Guard is a genuine Spirit Severing stage cultivator, and their combat power is among the best of their peers."
He did not know what methods Lu Tianyu had used, but they were definitely highly unusual.
He felt that his granddaughter dating such a person would not be a loss of face.
