Chapter 261: Bai Yu

"Hmph, you're still unwilling?" The maid stood up angrily and left, saying, "That was just an assessment just now. You're thinking too highly of yourself. My young lady would take a fancy to you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhan let out a big sigh of relief and couldn't help but blurt out, "That's good."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it.

Sure enough, the maid who was about to go out turned her head with a dark face, glared fiercely at Lu Yunzhan, and left while stomping her feet.

"What is wrong with me!" Lu Yunzhan was also in a state of chaos. He didn't know what his situation was. On one hand, he was clearly very curious about the beautiful Bai family young lady, but in his heart, he wanted to stay away from this situation.

Clearly, that wasn't what he thought in his heart, but as soon as the words reached his lips, they became like that.

Just like the big sigh of relief just now, and the blurting out of "that's good," it was almost all subconscious.

Don't be afraid!

It was just an assessment.

Come to think of it, Lu Yunzhan considered that there was nothing about him that attracted the Bai family young lady. In terms of looks, he couldn't compare to others, and in terms of family background, he was an orphan with no father or mother.

That's not right!

Lu Yunzhan didn't want to think too much, but his brain was like a very special existence. He only needed to think slightly, and the conversation with the maid just now was like being slowed down, reappearing in his mind.

Whether it was the maid's speech or behavior, it seemed like she was deliberately pretending to be a bit vulgar, and even if she put on a veil, it didn't affect her beauty in the slightest.

She didn't seem like a maid?!

The maid finally said that the conversation just now was an assessment?

That was also a lie!

Because the maid said at the beginning that when they were sitting in front of the arena, the Bai family's young lady could observe them, and said that she just happened to see him wanting to abstain, so she felt he was very special.

If those conversations were really an assessment, she wouldn't have said that sentence before, because he was the only one who abstained.

For someone to be so mischievous, or rather, so willful, in the Bai family young lady's recruitment of a son-in-law, the identity was easy to guess.

The Bai family young lady, Bai Yu! Or her personal head maid.

Lu Yunzhan was more inclined to the former, because if it were the personal head maid, she wouldn't say that her young lady would throw the silk ball to him at the second checkpoint, even if it were a joke, it wouldn't work. The status and customs of this world wouldn't allow it.

"That's good, that's good!"

After Lu Yunzhan analyzed the matter clearly, he felt relieved instead, because if his guesses were all accurate, then the Bai family young lady would definitely eliminate him at the second checkpoint.

It clearly felt like a pity!

This beautiful Bai family young lady seemed to be a bit interested in him.

But why did it feel like this was quite good?

The tangled heart made him unable to figure it out. Why was this? He seemed to be rejecting too intimate contact with the opposite sex deep in his heart.

Lu Yunzhan, of course, didn't know, because when Lu Fang used the Boundless Secret Technique to tamper with his memories, he specifically "warned" in his heart that when his memories were incomplete, he should not have too intimate relationships with the opposite sex.

This was like a subconscious trigger point.

So the current Lu Yunzhan was very tangled inside, and he didn't even understand why he was like this.

"Young Master, please this way."

A maid led Lu Yunzhan out of the room and walked toward the next passage, smiling, "Congratulations, Young Master, for successfully passing the second screening."

"Are you sure there's no mistake? Did I really pass the second screening?" Lu Yunzhan asked with some surprise.

The maid led the way in front without even turning her head, saying, "There won't be any mistake. Just now, my young lady specifically informed me to let you pass the second screening, and also asked me to tell you one sentence: 'There is a surprise ahead'."

Could it be that she really wants to choose me!

Lu Yunzhan's eyelids jumped wildly. No matter from which aspect he thought about it, he felt that this possibility was very high. He probed:

"Was it the Bai family young lady who personally assessed me just now?"

The maid nodded with a smile and said, "Originally, the young lady wouldn't have appeared to assess personally. However, Young Master seems to be an exception. Just now when the young lady came out, she even said, 'How interesting.' What did Young Master say? It made the young lady so happy."

Are you sure she was happy?

Lu Yunzhan scratched his head and couldn't say a word for a long time.

What are you thinking about!

With so many excellent people, and the Bai family young lady's conditions being so good, how could she really take a fancy to me and choose me?

It's probably because I offended her just now, and she wants to play a prank back.

And what "surprise"!

When Lu Yunzhan walked out of the passage, there were already dozens of people here, apparently all those who had just entered the second screening, but the place where they were was separated by a rope.

On the long red carpet, there were only the leading maid and Lu Yunzhan. Those dozens of people were like onlookers separated by a rope.

Everyone's expression looking at Lu Yunzhan carried envy.

"Why is this? How could that person appear inside? Can we also go over?"

"Hi, I asked just now. The guard said that those who appear outside the rope were all eliminated in the second screening."

"Doesn't that mean only that person passed?"

"He passed even though he's so ugly, and I was eliminated even though I'm so romantic and handsome? What's wrong with this Bai family young lady?"

Some noisy discussions arose, and the dozens of young masters who were eliminated in the second screening expressed their unwillingness and doubts in their hearts one after another.

These voices reached Lu Yunzhan's ears, making him feel like he was walking on thin ice with every step, fearing that he would fall into cold water and suffocate to death in the next second.

Don't panic!

The more it is like this, the more one must remain calm.

It's just the beginning now, it's impossible that he is the only one who passed the second screening, there must be others later...

Dong! A sound of a gong and drum rang out.

A sturdy woman appeared on the arena. She picked up the yellow silk in her hand and read, "A thousand miles of marriage are tied by a single thread. After layers of selection, specifically selected..."

Lu Yunzhan could no longer hear clearly what exactly was read, because he saw the Bai family young lady, Bai Yu, who was supported onto the arena by many maids and nannies.

This time, Bai Yu specifically didn't wear a veil. Her rosy cheeks, exquisite features, and tall figure, combined together, gave people a special sense of coldness, as if there was a natural ice wall around her, blocking others from approaching.

This coldness that kept people at a distance added a lot of charm to her.

No wonder Ceng Wan would praise this Bai Yu endlessly, calling her appearance peerless elegance. The moment Lu Yunzhan saw her, he finally understood.

I'm afraid that anyone who has seen Bai Yu would agree that she is a beauty, a beauty with a sense of coldness.

This kind of woman often has a special charm.

An urge that makes people can't help but want to conquer.

Lu Yunzhan and Bai Yu looked at each other. The former smiled bitterly repeatedly. Although he had confirmed her identity with the leading maid just now, when he truly saw her eyes and confirmed that she was the maid who conducted the assessment just now, his heart still jumped wildly.

And Bai Yu was expressionless throughout, just like an iceberg. ===== CHAPTER 262 =====
