Chapter 259: Recruiting a Son-in-Law

"A big event that is going to happen in Beiya City?" Lu Yunzhan looked puzzled. He indeed hadn't heard of any big event about to happen, but seeing Ceng Wan's serious face, it didn't look like a joke.

Ceng Wan lowered his voice and said, "Hehehe, I heard that the daughter of a hereditary viscount in Beiya City is going to recruit a son-in-law today in the city by throwing a silk ball."

"The reason why there are so many people in Beiya City recently is also because many people came for this matter."

"Brother Lu, you don't know, the territory of that viscount named Bai Feng is this Beiya City, and he only has one daughter, who is also a beauty of peerless elegance."

Ceng Wan smiled and swallowed his throat, saying, "A year ago, I accidentally saw that Miss Bai from afar. She was simply indescribably beautiful."

"Oh." Lu Yunzhan was a bit surprised and said, "Miss Bai has such a good background and appearance, why does she want to recruit a son-in-law by throwing a silk ball? This seems very unreasonable."

Ceng Wan nodded seriously and said, "I was also shocked when I got the news before, and only after confirming it again and again did I know it was true."

"It's said to be throwing a silk ball, but catching it only gives you a qualification."

"At that time, there will still need to be layers of assessment. If you are not good enough, you still won't be able to embrace the beauty. How about it, Brother Lu, do you want to go together?"

Lu Yunzhan shook his head and said, "Brother Ceng Wan seems quite interested in this Miss Bai. I won't take what others love. I'd better not go."

"Don't!" Ceng Wan waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I already have a wife, and just this point alone eliminates me. I'm mainly here to watch the fun, and I also want to see what kind of person can embrace the beauty."

"Don't say I'm being blunt, Brother Lu. Although you are not as handsome as me, your temperament and other aspects have a kind of free and easy air. Maybe you'll be taken a fancy to by Miss Bai."

Ceng Wan said this half-jokingly and half-seriously, and invited Lu Yunzhan to go watch the fun together again and again. Seeing that it had come to this, Lu Yunzhan could only reluctantly agree.

Actually, it wasn't just Ceng Wan who felt he had no hope; Lu Yunzhan didn't feel he had any hope either. He still had that bit of self-knowledge.

Miss Bai Yu's silk ball recruitment for a son-in-law indeed caused a commotion in Beiya City. Almost before dawn, many people had already surrounded the stage in the center of the city, all to seize the opportunity.

Lu Yunzhan looked at the dense crowd in front. Standing here, he could only barely see a blurry outline of the arena.

One can imagine how many people came this time.

Because the Bai family was a viscount, and the territory was Beiya City, the Bai family also invited the city's soldiers to patrol to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

"Otherwise, forget it. There are too many people." Lu Yunzhan shook his head with a bitter smile. This so-called silk ball recruitment was a bit too exaggerated.

"Indeed, there are quite a lot of people, but it was also within my expectations." Ceng Wan smiled confidently and said, "Since we're here, why be in such a hurry? Let's watch for a while. When Miss Bai Yu comes out later, you'll see her and know I wasn't lying. She is truly beautiful."

Just as they were talking.

They saw a commotion in front. It turned out that the arena in front of them was only the first checkpoint, which required screening before entering the second checkpoint. Only by passing these checkpoints could one reach the place where Miss Bai Yu would throw the silk ball.

"So that's how it is." Ceng Wan patted Lu Yunzhan on the shoulder and said, "Since we're here, let's go try it together. It looks like so many people are entering the arena at once, so it should proceed very quickly."

Lu Yunzhan frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ceng Wan, don't you have a wife and concubines? Didn't you say there's no chance this way? Are you sure you want to try it?"

Ceng Wan shrugged and said, "Who cares, what if Miss Bai Yu takes a fancy to me."

Lu Yunzhan shook his head and didn't say anything. Anyway, he was here to join in the fun. Just as Ceng Wan said, since he was here, why not try it.

Honestly, Ceng Wan had been talking about how beautiful this Miss Bai Yu was. How could a normal man like him not be curious?

If he could see Miss Bai Yu, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

As Ceng Wan said, ten people entered the arena at once. He didn't know what the specific assessment was, but judging from the speed of people entering, it should be a relatively easy assessment.

About an hour later.

Lu Yunzhan and Ceng Wan both walked into the arena at the same time, but once they entered, they discovered that the passages were all independent.

A maid wearing a veil led the way in front, and every once in a while, there would be a guard from the Bai family, each of whom was a cultivator of around the Sixth Rank.

It had to be said that Viscount Bai Feng's power in Beiya City was indeed very great.

After walking a few dozen steps, Lu Yunzhan arrived in a small room separated by a large red cloth. A maid dressed relatively richly was sitting on a chair, and there was also a chair opposite her.

As soon as the maid saw Lu Yunzhan enter and saw his appearance, she couldn't help but frown at the first moment. Indeed, his appearance, at first glance, was indeed a bit strange, giving people a feeling of being very ugly.

But if you looked at him a few more times, or after you got familiar with him, you would instead feel that he was ugly-handsome. Coupled with his unique calmness and composure, it made people feel good about him involuntarily.

"Please sit." The maid opened her eyes wide, sized up Lu Yunzhan, and nodded frequently, saying, "I will conduct some simple inquiries here. Please answer truthfully, otherwise, with our Bai family's strength, we can also find out if you are lying."

Lu Yunzhan sat on the chair and nodded with a smile.

The maid looked down at the paper in her hand and asked the first question, "Your name? Where are you from? Do you have a spouse? Do you cultivate the Three Teachings or..."

Indeed, as the maid said before, the questions she asked were basically very simple. After recording Lu Yunzhan's answers, she let him go out and wait first.

"Please this way!" Another maid led Lu Yunzhan toward another passage. As soon as he walked out, he found nine people standing beside him, who were the people who had entered the arena with him just now.

Ceng Wan was among them.

"How did you do?" Ceng Wan asked with his mouth.

Lu Yunzhan directly transmitted his voice over and truthfully told the situation he encountered.

After a conversation.

Ceng Wan believed that this first checkpoint was just an assessment of appearance. As for the basic situation the maid asked, it could basically be ignored.

In this regard, Ceng Wan had unimaginable confidence.

"Maybe seeing that I'm not handsome, even if I have a spouse, they will let me pass." Ceng Wan said confidently.

This was indeed a bit exaggerated, but it wasn't completely irrelevant.

Besides being a little chubby, Ceng Wan's facial contours were indeed a bit free and handsome, otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident.

He already had a spouse, yet he still came to join in the fun. ===== CHAPTER 260 =====
