C8 A Petty Thought
Seeing the three of them disappear into the main hall, Qian Zhuo didn't have the time to think about how the three of them looked down on him. He quickly ordered, "Men, the distinguished guest of the Prefecture has arrived today. Go and invite the chef of Jin He Lou to cook the dishes. Prepare all the good wine and dishes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Zhuo looked at the servant who was busy turning green. Suddenly, he felt a little panicked and uneasy.
Yuan Muchuan and Wang Sanshi weren't like those old cultivators who could wipe out all grudges with just a smile. The younger one was, the more vengeful and impulsive they would become. This could be seen from Wang Sanshi's actions just now.
As such, he really had no idea whether the matter between the two of them would be remembered by the two of them just now!
Just as he was thinking of a way to save them, Luo Xiaoyuan, Qian Zhuo's wife, walked in doubtfully. "Master, where is Cao Guangqi?"
Luo Xiaoyuan had heard that Cao Guangqi had come with five large boxes. She began to dress up, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to Cao Guangqi. She knew very well that Qian Zhuo's business had suffered a loss. This was an opportunity that could not be missed. How could she miss it?
She had been the number one beauty in the Western City for a long time. It shouldn't be difficult for her to persuade Cao Guangqi.
However, since she had not seen Cao Guangqi, she had spent a lot of effort to put on her makeup. Had it not been for nothing?
When he heard Cao Guangqi's name and saw Luo Xiaoyuan's dressing, Qian Zhuo's fury surged once again. He put it on his face. "Humph, don't mention that fellow again. He has already returned!"
"He has returned?" She felt a little disappointed in her heart. It seemed that her preparations would not be of use today. After knowing this result, Luo Xiaoyuan did not continue to put on an act. Her entire spirit and spirit collapsed and Qian Zhuo became even angrier when he saw it.
Surveying the surroundings and seeing that the manor was busy, Luo Xiaoyuan could not help but feel suspicious. "Then when he went back, what kind of guest did the manor send? Why would there be such a huge commotion?"
Seeing Luo Xiaoyuan mention this, When Qian Zhuo thought of Yuan Muchuan and Qian Zhuo, the expression on his face finally eased up a little. It was no longer stiff like before. Instead, it even carried a proud expression, and disdain could be seen on his face.
"What does that Cao Guangqi count as? Is he worthy of being welcomed by the entire prefecture? He naturally has an even more important guest..." As he spoke, Qian Zhuo seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Luo Xiaoyuan with a burning gaze. "Quickly go and get Yueyin to prepare. We must make her dress up and attend today's banquet! If we neglect the guest, then Qian Mansion will suffer a great crime!"
Luo Xiaoyuan was doubtful when she saw Qian Zhuo's anxious look, but her face revealed a mocking expression. "Who is it? Yueyin was currently a cultivator, and her cultivation had already reached the third level of the Qi Refining Stage. How could she casually come out to eat dinner with others? "Isn't this just a disgrace to the Qian Mansion?"
When it came to Qian Yueyin, Luo Xiaoyuan could not stop her pride. It was like a peacock spreading its tail and her entire body was filled with an extraordinary feeling. As Luo Xiaoyuan spoke, she was about to sit down when she suddenly realized that there was a chair missing and her husband's body was covered with tiny bits of wood shavings.
Luo Xiaoyuan's footsteps paused and her tone was puzzled, "This is..."
Seeing Luo Xiaoyuan's appearance, Qian Zhuo could not help but sigh deeply and felt very helpless. "This is the masterpiece of that esteemed guest. The people who came today were also two immortals. They seemed to be of a higher status than Yueyin. Otherwise, why would I be so courteous? Do you really think that I, Qian Zhuo, am made of mud? "
Hearing this, Luo Xiaoyuan suddenly opened her eyes wide. "Immortal? In total, Yueyin is the only immortal in the West District. Why is there another one now? Have you been deceived? Some capable people in the martial arts world can turn their chairs into dust! "
Luo Xiaoyuan had a look of disbelief. Ever since Qian Yueyin entered the Immortal Sect, the Qian Mansion had jumped thousands of miles in the West City. Every time she went out, she would receive a lot of envious gazes from the people around her. Now, two more Immortals had suddenly appeared. Wasn't this trying to steal the limelight of the Qian Mansion?
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaoyuan's expression suddenly sank, and her eyes were filled with jealousy.
After being a husband and wife with Luo Xiaoyuan for so long, how could Qian Zhuo not know what kind of person she was? Seeing her expression change, Qian Zhuo knew what she was thinking and immediately became angry.
At that time, he did not know why he took a fancy to a narrow-minded woman like Luo Xiaoyuan. Not to mention her temperament was not good, after so many years, she still could not bear a child, so he could only adopt her. Fortunately, he found Qian Yueyin, a child with a Spiritual Root. Otherwise, wouldn't he have suffered a terrible loss?
The poor Qian Mansion's finances were all in Luo Xiaoyuan's hands. Firstly, he could not divorce his wife, and secondly, he could not take in concubines. He also could not take care of a few concubines who were not pregnant. He did not know if it was because of bad luck.
He looked at Luo Xiaoyuan unhappily and Qian Zhuo said, "What are you thinking about!? Can't I tell if it is an immortal or not? She shattered the chair into pieces out of thin air and didn't touch the chair at all. "If that's the case, how is it possible for the Jianghu to do it?"
The most important thing now is to let Yueyin prepare properly. Perhaps she can tie one of them to our Qian Mansion. This way, the Qian Mansion will be more prosperous and you won't lose face!"
Luo Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up when she heard this. "So, the immortals today are two men?"
After she finished speaking, she saw Qian Zhuo nod his head and became excited. Having an immortal's daughter was already impressive enough. If another immortal's son-in-law came, it would be a miracle. Who else in the West City would dare to bully her Qian Family? Even Cao Guangqi had to be respectful to them!
The more Luo Xiaoyuan thought about it, the more excited she became. It was as if she had already seen the future glory of the Qian Mansion. Her smile floated on her face and almost squeezed out the powder on her face.
"That's great! Master, prepare the banquet for today. I will go and find Yueyin and tell her to prepare!" As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xiaoyuan had already turned around and left. She did not wait for Qian Zhuo to say anything. Such an action naturally infuriated Qian Zhuo. But when he thought of his status in this family, Qian Zhuo couldn't help but sigh. He went to prepare the dinner.
From the beginning to the end, Qian Zhuo never mentioned that Qian Renxue brought Yuan Muchuan and Qian Renxue back. Perhaps in his eyes, Qian Yueyin was his daughter. As for Qian Renxue, it was just a mistake that he picked up many years ago. It was already not bad that he could raise Qian Renxue until now.
From this, Qian Mansion became busy. Everyone in the entire prefecture knew that not only did the deceased young mistress return, but she also came back wearing the clothes of a man and even brought back two immortals.
For a moment, the servants of the Qian Mansion were in a state of panic. When they bullied Qian Renxue, they did not show any mercy. But now that Qian Renxue had returned with the immortals, there was no guarantee that they would find trouble with them.
Therefore, this banquet was prepared in front of everyone's fear and bewilderment. Until the banquet began, no one dared to show their face in front of Qian Renxue, let alone touch the so-called immortal Qi of Yuan Muchuan and the other two.
