Receiving a scolding from i Ruyan as 'foxy', this group of fox spirits not only wasn't ashad but laughed even more wickedly.
Miaoqiu covered her rosy lips, chuckled, and said, "Ruyan, are you jealous? If you fancy him, you should act quickly. There are plenty of wolves but little at; who knows how many won have set their eyes on him now."
When i Ruyan heard this, her face involuntarily turned red, but she said nothing in explanation.
With her temperant, she wouldn't stand a chance verbally sparring with a fox spirit like Miaoqiu.
"Alright, everyone get ready to head out. So important guests will be visiting Luoyan Dock today, and at the current pace, they should be arriving at our Xu Family soon," Miaoqiu said.
Currently, the Xu Family's Patriarch is seriously ill, and the elders are in South City. In Luoyan Dock, Miaoqiu holds the highest status, so naturally, she would be the one to receive them.
All the won stood up, their complexions radiant and rosy like ripe peaches, making one want to take a bite.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman in a purple robe twisted her slender waist and walked gracefully to Lin Tian, teasing, "Hey handso, your Inner Strength is so unique, let's have a chance to do Dual Cultivation together."
"Hey, it won't be your turn for Dual Cultivation, it should be first."
"Why not all of us cultivate together? Anyway, the handso guy is so robust, it surely won't be a problem. Hahaha..."
"Huh?" Lin Tian looked up and down, couldn't help but gulp. Dual cultivating with this bunch of fox spirits, he would probably beco nothing but a husk in no ti.
i Ruyan passed by Lin Tian, glanced slightly, and softly cursed, "Scumbag!"
...
In the center of the hall, there was an incense burner engraved with auspicious clouds and mythical beasts.
Burning inside were the finest incenses, complented by precious herbs, making the entire hall sll fragrant and refreshing with each breath, even involuntarily causing one's Spiritual Qi to start circulating.
After Lin Tian took a few breaths, he heard Miaoqiu laugh and say, "The formula burning in this burner was developed by our Xu Family's ancestor. The scent can fundantally make our body fragrance sll elegant, and it also helps to consolidate our roots and improve our Charming Skill cultivation."
Lin Tian clicked his tongue secretly, nurturing fox spirits sure costs a fortune.
"This stuff in the burner must be expensive, right?" Lin Tian clicked his tongue and asked.
"Hehe, not too expensive, about fifty thousand Celestial Dragon Continent coins for a day's burning."
"Fifty thousand? A day?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes, isn't that expensive?
Just as Lin Tian was about to say sothing, a servant ca to report: "The distinguished guests have arrived at the door."
Miaoqiu, sitting on the top seat, nodded and said, "Please bring them in."
The martial arts family obviously has many rituals. After receiving the order, the servant even perford a bow, backed up a few steps, and then turned around to leave.
Soon, the guests were brought over by the servant.
At the first sight of the guests, Lin Tian's eyes widened. It turned out that they were all acquaintances!
Zhang Zhixing, wearing a suit, walked at the front, accompanied by Chen Moxiang, while their secretary and several officials followed behind, like stars surrounding the moon.
Miaoqiu and the other won quickly stood up from their chairs and walked up with small steps to greet them.
"Mr. Zhang, your grand arrival truly brings glory to our Xu Family. I am Xu Shaohui's eldest daughter, you can just call Miaoqiu," Miaoqiu said with a smile, then shook hands with Zhang Zhixing.
With a slight nod, Zhang Zhixing withdrew his hand very gentlemanly, glanced around at the won, and said with a smile, "Hehe, the last ti I visited your Xu Family was over a dozen years ago; it still looks the sa."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Miaoqiu gestured with her hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, why don't we sit down and talk? Please, take the main seat."
Zhang Zhixing nodded, didn't stand on ceremony, and both he and Miaoqiu sat at the top seats. As for Chen Moxiang and others, they sat at the guest seats.
Once seated, Chen Moxiang quickly sensed a gaze watching her; she followed her intuition and soon saw Lin Tian.
When Chen Moxiang saw Lin Tian, her mouth imdiately fell open in disbelief.
Lin Tian naturally saw her expression and just smiled faintly as a greeting.
Chen Moxiang withdrew her gaze from Lin Tian and finally looked over all the beauties in the hall.
At this mont, all around Lin Tian were beautiful won, each uniquely charming and stunning, with figures to die for.
Finally, a 'so that's why' expression appeared on Chen Moxiang's face. Her gaze at Lin Tian turned full of hostility.
This bastard! In the past, there was occasionally a beauty around him; now it's a whole group at once!
Seeing Chen Moxiang glaring, Lin Tian also glared back.
Chen Moxiang raised her eyebrows, and so did he.
Furious, Chen Moxiang was grinding her molars, fists clenched... Lin Tian just chuckled...
In an instant, Chen Moxiang almost jumped out of her chair in anger.
What was this guy doing, winking and raising his eyebrows? Was he teasing her?
If the situation weren't so formal, Mr. Chen would have definitely gone over to teach this libertine a lesson.
Suddenly, Chen Moxiang felt sothing wasn't right. Why was she angry seeing so many beauties around him?
Think it over and over, Chen Moxiang ca to a conclusion.
This guy must look too much like a scoundrel!
Yes, it must be!
Zhang Zhixing didn't witness this scene; he was enjoying a cup of tea brewed by Miaoqiu at the mont.
After Zhang Zhixing had a cup of tea, Miaoqiu smiled and asked, "Minister, usually the military personnel co to our Luoyan Dock. How co it's you this year? Don't misunderstand, I'm just curious."
"No worries, after all, my visit was quite sudden, haha," Zhang Zhixing laughed nonchalantly. "Actually, the reason is simple; those military folks have been busy recently and couldn't spare ti. Just as well, I, Old Zhang, was free, so I ca to Luoyan Dock for a stroll and to see if I can take so rare herbs back."
Zhang Zhixing's words imdiately caught Lin Tian's attention.
The military bigwigs don't have ti to co? Every year, they co to Luoyan Dock to pick so good seedlings and their competition even turns intense, showing how crucial they are.
Now, they're all busy, busy with what? National military affairs? Is a war about to start?
Thinking about these matters, Lin Tian quickly gave up. Such grand affairs are beyond the thoughts of a re civilian like him.
When she heard about rare herbs, Miaoqiu imdiately understood the Minister's purpose for this trip.
It was also for those herbs!
"Minister, you represent the Senate this ti. Whatever you want, just ask the Alliance, and they wouldn't refuse, would they?" Miaoqiu joked.
