Yun Lan wasn't nervous being watched by everyone and smiled warmly, saying, "I sit here, no objections?"
"No objections, just sit, it's fine."
Liu Sanming laughed heartily.
Wang Li, Liu Xiaocong, and Zhang Fu were too nervous to speak, only managing awkward smiles.
Yun Lan nodded and sat next to Liu Sanming.
After sitting down, she glanced at Liu Sanming and said, "Why does your al look tastier than mine?"
"Then let's share, I won't mind."
Liu Sanming pouted.
His eyes fixed on Yun Lan, without a hint of nervousness, rather calmly flirting.
Seeing this, Yun Lan playfully rolled her eyes at him, "If you dare dislike , I'll give you an even bigger eye roll."
With that, she moved her chopsticks toward Liu Sanming's dish.
Liu Sanming wasn't shy either, eating from both his and Yun Lan's plates.
They were as familiar as old friends, chatting while eating.
The topic was simple, just asking what Liu Sanming did for a living.
Liu Sanming didn't make things up, simply said he was a doctor at Massage City.
This made Yun Lan laugh again, "I didn't expect doctors at Massage City to start cultivating. Don't all the female practitioners there master wonderful techniques?"
"You're right, otherwise, how could there always be male custors lingering around, spending all their money?"
Liu Sanming responded with a laugh.
This made Yun Lan laugh even more, looking at Liu Sanming with interest.
As for Wang Li and the others, they just listened to their banter, not daring to interrupt.
Seeing Liu Sanming make Yun Lan laugh, they were jealous but couldn't help staring at her chest and swallowing hard.
Only Chen Xiaoi truly enjoyed the fun, with no indecent thoughts.
She also admired Liu Sanming for being able to chat with anyone without a hint of stage fright.
Half an hour later, finishing their al, Yun Lan suddenly asked, "Are you guys a small group? Can I join?"
Wang Li, who hadn't spoken, quickly nodded, "Of course, as long as the girl wishes, we welco you!"
Liu Xiaocong and Zhang Fu, naturally nodded with silly smiles.
Who wouldn't like to have such a beauty in their company?
But hearing this, Liu Sanming pretended to be nervous, "I'm not really part of this group; they always find annoying, trying to chase away. If you join, I might have to say goodbye to you."
Wang Li, hearing this, wished he could sew Liu Sanming's mouth shut.
He quickly explained, "No, it's all a misunderstanding. Liu Sanming and we have always been a small group, we'd never actually chase him away."
"Yes, we've always liked him very much."
Liu Xiaocong added with a smile.
Zhang Fu and Chen Xiaoi naturally nodded too.
"I see, seems like you guys truly an well. Let's all go watch the competition together this afternoon."
Liu Sanming chuckled.
"Sure, I don't mind, being with you guys is much better than wandering alone."
Yun Lan nodded.
The others had no objections either.
After putting down their trays and leaving the restaurant, the six of them headed towards a large open space together.
There was a stage here, initially used for performances organized by the manor.
Now re-purposed to be a small arena.
The surrounding area was filled with rows of chairs, enough to seat over a thousand people.
Only around a thousand or so were invited to this Daoist Sect conference anyway.
Along the way, Yun Lan was laughing and conversing with Liu Sanming, seemingly talking about random things, but subtly probing into Liu Sanming's background.
Liu Sanming wasn't a fool, he realized Yun Lan was investigating him, so he was careful not to reveal anything truly valuable.
When the six arrived at the dueling ground, there were already two or three hundred people there.
Liu Sanming chose a less crowded corner to sit, and the others followed.
Yun Lan sat beside Liu Sanming.
Wang Li wanted to sit next to her but saw her glance at Chen Xiaoi and said, "Xiaoi, sit next to , seeing you makes feel safe."
"Hehe, my muscles are indeed more manly than a man's."
Chen Xiaoi blushed and laughed, sitting beside Yun Lan.
Wang Li, seeing this, had to sit on the other side of Chen Xiaoi.
Liu Xiaocong and Zhang Fu sat accordingly too.
The venue was filled with voices chattering, discussing if there would be a dark horse in this year's Daoist Sect conference.
The past three conferences had been rather dull, lacking any excitent.
Yun Lan wasn't interested in these topics, knowing the Three Gates and Five Strong were the established forces around Sea City's Cultivation Realm. Who could easily disrupt it?
The talented disciples of the three major sects were well-known.
How could there be a dark horse?
Though previously probing, Yun Lan already saw that Liu Sanming wasn't as simplistic as he seed.
He was rather cunning.
All her questions led to nothing valuable.
The only information was useless chatter.
His family was all dead, his ntor deceased, he had a legacy but didn't know its na…
Were it not for her master's directive, Yun Lan would've cast a cold glance and left with a huff.
She really couldn't be bothered with such a man.
Yet, Yun Lan had to admire Liu Sanming, as she was well-versed in her master's, the You Valley Fairy's, arts, particularly high in charm techniques.
Previously, she had used her charm skills subtly in her smiles and words, trying to enchant Liu Sanming, only to find it failed every ti.
Liu Sanming was unmoved.
This piqued Yun Lan's curiosity regarding his Pure Yang Body identity.
Could it be true that a Pure Yang Body could resist charm techniques?
Not wanting to delay any longer, Yun Lan mustered her courage to ask, "Do you truly not wish to beco my master's disciple? It's quite the advantageous offer."
Upon hearing, Liu Sanming laughed, "No, because an old monk advised never to take on another ntor."
"That's too simple a reason; do you know how many people want this opportunity?"
Yun Lan inquired further.
Liu Sanming shook his head, "I don't know, nor am I interested. I am myself, she's herself. How do you know I won't reach her standing one day?"
Though still smiling, Liu Sanming's grin suddenly bore an aura of strength.
Yun Lan was startled first, then couldn't help but snort coldly.
"You're... truly a daydrear. Only five major powers have erged around Sea City for decades; do you really think you'll be the sixth?"
"Why can't it be?"
Liu Sanming retorted.
"Why can it be? Give a reason."
Yun Lan sneered, as if watching a fool's fantasy.
Liu Sanming leaned in, whispering with a sly grin, "Because I have a specialty; sowhere, it's especially long."
Hearing this, Yun Lan couldn't help but blush, simultaneously biting her teeth in anger!
She never imagined Liu Sanming would dare make such a risqué joke with her!
Even more surprising, in such a crowded place.
In an instant, she felt a sudden urge for violence!
How dare a mutt like him tease ?!
