Chapter 91: Immortal Master, are you asleep... I, I am Gu Qing
"Very well, then I shall trouble General Zhang to lead the way."
Jiang Xun nodded, closed his folding fan, and smiled.
"Please!"
Zhang Wu nodded and stood up; several soldiers immediately dismounted and led seven horses before Jiang Xun and the others.
"That will not be necessary."
Jiang Xun waved his hand and tossed his folding fan directly into the air. The fan opened in mid-air, and Jiang Xun leaped up, stepping onto it to hover in the sky.
Tu Qing and the others followed suit, all flying up on their swords.
"So this is sword flight!"
"How amazing, they are really flying in mid-air!"
"Damn, I really want to learn that!"
The surrounding crowd looked on with expressions of envy.
This was exactly Jiang Xun's intention.
Zhang Wu was also dumbfounded at the sight, looking at Jiang Xun and the others with envy.
After snapping out of it, he hurriedly mounted his horse to lead the way in front.
"Immortal Master! Take me as your disciple!"
"Get out of the way, if the Immortal Master is going to take anyone, he should take me first!"
"Immortal Master! I want to warm your bed!"
"The Immortal Fairy is so beautiful!"
"She truly is an Immortal Fairy! After she flew up, there was actually a layer of thin mist under her skirt; I can't see anything at all..."
Seeing Jiang Xun and the others leave by sword flight, the crowd couldn't help but chase after them below.
Shuiyun City was located in a remote area, and cultivators rarely ever came here. Now that they were seeing people flying in the air on swords with their own eyes, it was inevitable that they would be very excited.
The group soon arrived at the City Lord Mansion. When they landed, the City Lord was already waiting in the courtyard with his family.
Seeing Jiang Xun and the others flying in the air, there was a great uproar.
"Greetings, Immortal Master! Greetings, Immortal Fairy!"
When Jiang Xun landed, the white-haired, middle-aged man at the head immediately stepped forward quickly and bowed deeply to Jiang Xun and the others.
"Greetings, Immortal Master! Greetings, Immortal Fairy!"
The people of the City Lord Mansion also hurriedly bowed and offered greetings.
This orderly posture clearly showed they had been specially trained.
"You are too kind. I presume you are the City Lord of Shuiyun City?" Jiang Xun reached out to help the white-haired man up and smiled.
"Indeed, this old man... er, I am the City Lord of Shuiyun City, Gu Junshou."
Gu Junshou said hurriedly, then turned and pointed to a beautiful woman in blue robes behind him: "This is my humble wife, Lin Yiqing."
He then pointed to a middle-aged man in white robes behind him: "My son, Gu Cheng."
Finally, he pointed to a woman in red.
The woman had long hair draped over her shoulders, a beautiful oval face, a high, straight nose, small cherry lips, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
Beneath her red dress, the woman's figure was fully revealed; her chest was full, stretching the fabric, and her waist was as slender as a swaying willow branch.
Seeing Gu Junshou point to her, she bowed slightly toward Jiang Xun, revealing a peerless smile, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons.
"This is my daughter, Gu Qing."
Gu Junshou looked at Gu Qing's attire with satisfaction, then turned back to look at Jiang Xun and smiled.
"This girl is not bad."
Ming Ning said as she looked at Gu Qing.
Upon hearing this, Gu Junshou gave a start and hurriedly ran to Ming Ning to bow: "Is the Immortal Fairy speaking the truth? Does my daughter have the fortune to join Kuoyu Pavilion?"
"My quota for disciples is full; you should ask him," Ming Ning said softly, looking at Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun was currently looking Gu Qing up and down, seemingly very satisfied with her figure as well.
He never expected the City Lord's daughter to be so beautiful; Jiang Xun had taken a liking to her at first glance.
"I just wonder if Miss Gu Qing has any interest in cultivation?" Hearing Ming Ning call him, Jiang Xun immediately took over the conversation.
"Yes!! Yes, yes, yes!"
Hearing that there was a chance, Gu Junshou became even more enthusiastic and excitedly grabbed Jiang Xun's arm: "My daughter heard that the Immortal Master and the others were coming to recruit disciples and has been clamoring to go cultivate! Isn't that right, Gu Qing?"
"That is exactly so," Gu Qing also nodded immediately, looking at Jiang Xun with a radiant smile.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun also politely curled the corners of his mouth, returning the smile.
Seeing Jiang Xun's smile, Gu Qing was stunned on the spot for a moment, looking somewhat dazed.
How could there be such a handsome man in the world...
"Husband, should we perhaps invite the Immortal Master into the hall first?"
Lin Yiqing whispered to remind Gu Junshou.
It must be said that this Lin Yiqing did not look very old, perhaps thirty-seven or thirty-eight, and had the appearance of a very standard young matron; one could tell that in her youth, she definitely possessed beauty that did not lose to Gu Qing's.
It was also evident that she must be Gu Qing's biological mother.
As for that Gu Cheng, he looked almost older than Lin Yiqing; presumably, he was born to Gu Junshou and a former wife?
"Oh my! I was too excited, my apologies, my apologies! Immortal Master, Immortal Fairy, please, come in quickly!"
Hearing this, Gu Junshou slapped his forehead, shouted hurriedly, and led the way for Jiang Xun and the others.
After everyone was seated, each person had servants attending to them, but the one serving Jiang Xun was Gu Qing.
Jiang Xun and the others did not sit in the main seats, which would have been overstepping, but this made Gu Junshou and Lin Yiqing feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.
"Please, Immortal Master."
Gu Qing knelt beside Jiang Xun to pour wine for him, held up the cup with both hands, and looked at Jiang Xun with a beaming smile.
Jiang Xun took the wine cup and smiled: "For the Princess to pour wine for me personally, I am truly blessed."
"It is Gu Qing's honor." Gu Qing blushed and lowered her head, too embarrassed to look directly at Jiang Xun; that gaze was simply too captivating.
"Then, let us drink to this cup and welcome all the Immortals to Shuiyun City!"
Gu Junshou also hurriedly raised his wine cup and shouted.
Everyone raised their cups one after another and drank them in one gulp.
After the wine cups were placed on the table, Gu Qing hurriedly poured wine for Jiang Xun again.
"Coming to Shuiyun City this time to recruit disciples, we will have to trouble the City Lord for your help."
Ming Ning looked at Gu Junshou and said.
"I cannot be called a Lord." Gu Junshou hurriedly waved his hands: "Being able to help the Immortals is also a great honor for me! I will certainly do my utmost!"
"Yes, we have already posted notices in the city, and when the time comes, all the young men and women who meet the criteria will gather in front of the City Lord Mansion." Gu Cheng also said immediately.
It was just that his tone carried some disappointment, because he did not meet the criteria of being under 20 years old, having regular features, and being interested in immortal cultivation.
At that time, Jiang Xun and the others would screen them again to eliminate those who were just making up the numbers, the unsightly ones, and those without a Spirit Root.
"Senior Brother... have you taken a fancy to that little girl?" Tu Qing sat beside Jiang Xun with a jealous expression and secretly sent a voice transmission to Jiang Xun.
"Yes, she is quite pretty." Jiang Xun nodded and did not deny it: "I plan to take her as my Personal Disciple."
"Ah? Senior Brother... you don't have the qualifications to take a Personal Disciple yet, right? Master said you need to be at the Nascent Soul stage."
Tu Qing said upon hearing this.
"It's fine, at worst I'll just raise her at Qingyu Peak first and wait until I reach the Nascent Soul stage to officially take her as a disciple." Jiang Xun smiled.
"Wuwu... once you have another little beauty, Senior Brother won't dote on me anymore." Tu Qing looked aggrieved.
"What kind of talk is that? Is your Senior Brother the type of person to love and leave? I can take care of both of you." Jiang Xun flicked Tu Qing's forehead lightly and smiled.
After the wine and meal, Gu Junshou arranged rooms for Jiang Xun and the others, one for each person.
The City Lord Mansion was crowded and chaotic, so Ming Ning did not call any disciples to her room that night, but Jiang Xun's door was gently knocked upon.
"Immortal Master, are you asleep... I, I am Gu Qing..."
