Chapter 260: The Second Screening

However, for someone like the Bai family who had some status, the requirements for the husband of their only heir would be relatively higher. Soon, guards walked over and somewhat rudely "invited" Ceng Wan out.

"It's up to you, Brother Lu."

Ceng Wan's mentality was quite good. When he was invited out, he was still smiling and sending voice transmissions to cheer Lu Yunzhan on.

Lu Yunzhan sighed helplessly. This was a complete farce. Perhaps he shouldn't have come here. He didn't think he would become the Bai family's son-in-law.

Thinking this way, he felt even more that it was a waste of time to be here.

There were ten people who came in with Lu Yunzhan, and eight of them were successively invited out by the Bai family's guards.

Originally, Lu Yunzhan also felt that he would be invited out, but what he didn't expect was that he and another young master who looked very wealthy successfully entered the second checkpoint.

It seemed that many people came in, but very few successfully entered the second checkpoint. It often happened that ten people came in, and not a single one entered the second checkpoint, all of which were annoying things.

In front of the second checkpoint, there was another arena, where dozens of people were sitting. These people looked either wealthy or had a realm of around the Sixth Rank.

There was no exception.

Lu Yunzhan stood there and scanned the people on the field, shaking his head with a bitter smile. It seemed that even if the Bai family recruited a son-in-law by throwing a silk ball, they still had a bottom line, and only those with a wealthy background or cultivators above the Sixth Rank could barely qualify.

Thinking of this, he only felt uncomfortable all over.

Plus, Ceng Wan, who had dragged him to join in the fun, was also eliminated. Lu Yunzhan thought that anyway, he wouldn't be selected, so he wouldn't continue to waste time here.

"May I ask, where can I leave from?"

Lu Yunzhan walked up to a guard and asked in a low voice.

"Leave?" The guard's voice was a bit loud. He frowned and said, "You have already passed the preliminary screening, why do you want to leave?"

The guard had a look of looking at a fool. It was truly unique for someone like Lu Yunzhan to pass the preliminary screening and still want to leave.

No matter who it was, successfully entering here.

Their faces were all filled with smiles, wishing they could weld their butts to the chairs.

"I abstain." Lu Yunzhan said lightly.

The guard raised his eyebrows. Seeing that the Lu Yunzhan in front of him wasn't a fool, how could he say such things and make such a request? After thinking for a long time, he then said somewhat uncertainly, "You sit there and wait first. I'll ask the people above."

Apparently, the Bai family hadn't considered how to deal with someone who voluntarily abstained before, and this guard really didn't know how to treat Lu Yunzhan for a while.

Lu Yunzhan wanted to speak again, but the guard waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's useless for you to tell me. For the sake of the young lady's safety, everything we do must be reported to the above first, and we can only let you go after getting confirmed instructions."

"Otherwise, in case there is a slight misunderstanding."

"It's not impossible to arrest you."

The guard said with a solemn face.

Seeing that the other party was so serious, he assumed he wasn't lying, so he could only return to his seat and wait. He saw that the guard had no intention of asking the above at all. He estimated that being eliminated in the second checkpoint would be faster than abstaining to leave here.

Just as he was thinking.

A sturdy woman walked onto the arena. She scanned the crowd under the stage with sharp eyes and said, "Please enter the passage in front in order from left to right according to your seats for further screening."

It was still the same old way. The red cloth in front of the arena was lifted, revealing ten passages, with ten people entering each time.

Soon it was Lu Yunzhan's group's turn.

When he entered the passage and arrived at a small room wrapped in red cloth again, a maid wearing a veil was already sitting in front of him.

"Just now a guard said that you want to abstain and want to leave here? Can you tell me why? My young lady is very curious because among the people who came here today, you are the first to abstain. Is the hospitality not good enough?"

The maid's tone was a bit hesitant, and her big eyes, which seemed to have mist, curiously and shyly sized up Lu Yunzhan with her peripheral vision.

Lu Yunzhan couldn't laugh or cry and hurriedly explained, "Please don't misunderstand. I am just a person wandering around. I don't think I have a chance, so I thought it would be better to leave here early instead of continuing to waste time here."

"I don't mean to slight the Bai family, nor is it that the Bai family's young lady is not good."

"Honestly, I was accompanying a brother to join in the fun. One is that I don't think I will be selected by the Bai family's young lady, and the second is that I am also a bit uneasy in my heart. I am used to wandering around. If I am selected by the Bai family's young lady, I don't know if I can settle down and start a career in Beiya City as I am now."

The maid wearing the veil chuckled, covered her smile with her hand, and said, "Then you have to consider it quickly. My young lady is quite satisfied with you."

"Ah?" Lu Yunzhan had a big question mark on his head.

The maid wearing the veil smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yunzhan relaxed for a while, then laughed dryly and said, "This girl is joking. I haven't done anything. How could the Bai family's young lady be quite satisfied with me? I don't seem to have seen her."

"You have seen her." The maid wearing the veil said with a smile, "Just now when you were sitting in front of the arena, my young lady had roughly looked at all of you."

"It just so happened that you wanted to abstain, so she looked at you a few more times."

"Like those people outside, they are nothing more than coveting my young lady's wealth and beauty. Because you want to abstain, my young lady thinks you are very special. If there are no accidents later, the silk ball throwing after the second checkpoint will be thrown to you."

"This..." Lu Yunzhan didn't know why, but upon hearing what the maid in front of him said, his heart felt inexplicably flustered.

As if he were doing something very stupid.

As long as he did this one thing, he would definitely regret it later.

Seeing Lu Yunzhan at a loss, wanting to say something, but stuttering for a long time without being able to say a word, the maid wearing the veil curled the corners of her mouth. She thought Lu Yunzhan had this expression because he was too excited.

Who knew Lu Yunzhan suddenly said, "This might be a misunderstanding. Your young lady looked at me wrong. I am not special at all..."

The smile on the face of the maid wearing the veil froze. Apparently, she didn't expect Lu Yunzhan to say this. Bai Yu was a famous beauty of peerless elegance, and the Bai family was an absolute top-tier family in Beiya City.

Which point made the Lu Yunzhan in front of her dislike her?

What on earth is this!

"Are you disliking my young lady?"

The maid's voice became cold, the smile on her face had long since faded, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, as if she would strangle him if Lu Yunzhan's answer wasn't satisfactory in the next second.

"No, no, no!" Lu Yunzhan waved his hands awkwardly and repeatedly, his voice a bit weak, "I have a straightforward personality, so I say whatever is on my mind. I am really not special at all, and I am used to wandering. I don't have the confidence that I can settle down and start a career in Beiya City now." ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
