Chapter 1538: Chapter 1518: The Matchmaker Pays a Visit...

"Huh?" Luo Qianqian quickly looked at Shiba and found her expression indeed strange. She hurriedly moved her wrist away from Shiba.

Her wrist already had a silver bracelet, and now with the Little White Snake added, it didn’t feel too bumpy. But since someone was scared, she had to consider others’ feelings, especially when that someone was a little girl who depended heavily on her.

She didn’t notice that when Shiba’s face turned odd, the Little White Snake on her wrist also had a weird expression, which was hidden under her sleeve.

"Hey, Elder Brother Luo, our relationship is already this good, right?" Yang Feng was also a smart guy. Since others didn’t want to talk, he definitely wouldn’t push for answers.

"Right...," Old Master Luo nodded, poured Yang Feng a glass of wine, and felt a little puzzled. Why suddenly talk about this?

"How about we establish a friendly sect? In the future, you at Nine Heavens Pavilion can place orders at low prices, and we can even barter goods. What do you think?" Yang Feng rubbed his hands eagerly, with a flattering look: "We’re easygoing, just a few customized membership cards from the Tea House Trade will do. Besides clothes and accessories, can banquets be customized as well?"

Upon hearing Yang Feng’s words, several people, including Wang Mazi, immediately looked at Old Master Luo with bright eyes.

Old Master Luo slightly lowered his head to show he was thinking, but he directly kicked his eldest son beside him.

Luo Xisi understood and quickly exchanged glances with the others.

Luo Xisi looked at Luo Xihan, Luo Xihan looked at Luo Yanhai, Luo Yanhai looked at Luo Shufan, and Luo Shufan looked at Luo Qianqian, forming a direct circle of glances.

Luo Qianqian lowered her head weighing the pros and cons. Nine Heavens Pavilion was just an emerging sect, after all, leaning towards commerce rather than having conflicts with the killer Sky Inquiry Tower. Without conflicts of interest, getting along wouldn’t be too tiring.

She nodded slightly.

Then the nods went back one by one.

Luo Xisi returned Old Master Luo’s kick, and only when Old Master looked over did she make an ’OK’ gesture under the table.

Old Master Luo slowly raised his head, faced Yang Feng’s eager and ingratiating gaze, and nodded slightly: "But this matter will have to wait until we return to our sects and formally visit for the inauguration ceremony before it’s settled." Old Master Luo was also a smart person and naturally knew Nine Heavens Pavilion was still an emerging sect, looking to gain benefits. It’s better to wait for the results of the kids’ competition before making a decision?

"Huh?" What’s this inauguration ceremony? Yang Feng was full of confusion.

Luo Qianqian laughed: "Everything Nine Heavens Pavilion does has to have a sense of ceremony; even sticking around needs ceremony to be more vibrant, just like a wedding needs a banquet, a birthday and an elder’s celebration need to be honored, making friends naturally needs to be celebrated. It’s the start of friendship, representing enduring friendship."

Luo Shufan rolled his eyes secretly. Dad said his ability to speak differently to different people has already reached proficiency in the market, but surely, he hadn’t seen Luo Qianqian. Listening to this, he was almost convinced. If this were true, why haven’t they seen grand celebrations for giving birth?

"Wedding banquet, longevity banquet?" Yang Feng was startled and then his eyes lit up. He swallowed hard despite eating dinner: "Ceremony is great, life should be full of ceremony, colorful and vibrant, well said, then we’ll wait for this inauguration ceremony!" He laughed heartily afterwards.

No matter what this ceremony is, what’s certain is they could feast again, and that alone was worth being happy about, everything else wasn’t important.

Wang Mazi looked at his happily laughing master and silently lowered his head. Actually, he was quite looking forward to it too.

"Knock knock knock"

Yet, during dinner, with so many people gathered to eat, there came a knock on the door again.

This time, Luo Yanhai directly bowed his head to eat, pretending not to hear, and He Wenyu was even busier serving dishes without being affected by the knocking.

Luo Qianqian directly got up, gave Luo Yanhai and He Wenyu both a disdainful look, and then went to open the door.

A pale large face appeared in front of her, with blazing red lips and a fresh brick-red long dress, stocky build, smiling so much like the fallen petals of a chrysanthemum. She held a big red handkerchief, no need for the other to speak, Luo Qianqian had already guessed the identity.

"You must be Miss Shiliu, such a beautiful young lady blossom indeed, do you have elders at home?"

As soon as she spoke, she attempted to enter the courtyard. Unfortunately, how could Luo Qianqian be moved by her?

"Who are you, what do you want, anything up?" Luo Qianqian calmly hooked the door with her foot, unless the other could kick the door down, she wasn’t letting anyone through.

"Look at what you’re saying, I’m the matchmaker here to propose on behalf of Young Master Du of the Great Scholar’s Family to Miss Shiliu. I bring gifts, are there elders in Miss Shiliu’s family?"

Sure enough, she was the matchmaker.

Luo Qianqian sneered, turned her head and yelled into the yard: "Shiliu, matchmaker is looking for you."

"Goodness, you’re teasing me?" He Wenyu rushed over, looked past Luo Qianqian at the pale large face outside, and jumped in fright: "I’ll have nightmares tonight..."

"Proposing on behalf of someone named Du Lanming, looking for a guardian." Luo Qianqian looked at He Wenyu amusedly, watching him shiver as if shaking goosebumps to the ground: "How about it?"

"Stop kidding, alright? How old am I?" He Wenyu directly gave a sideways glance: "What do you mean ’how about it’? You looking for a fight? Asking me?"

He said this while glaring at the matchmaker outside the door for a long time: "Do you think I’m so bad? How many people are in this courtyard? Or do you think Du Lanming is so outstanding? I’m a Cultivator with sect support, he’s at most a scholar’s son, what does he have? Why should he marry me? Don’t tell me about having a heart to love me forever, I’m not some naive little girl. Why don’t you go back where you came from? People should know themselves well. Taking any job just for money, aren’t you afraid I’ll get angry and stab you with a dagger?" He said as a dagger appeared in his hand and lunged at the matchmaker.

The matchmaker retreated two steps in fear, then looked at He Wenyu in terror and ran off.

Luo Qianqian finally snatched the dagger from He Wenyu’s hand: "Stop fooling around, if you scratch the door you’ll have to pay for it."

She then sneered in the direction of the matchmaker: "Next time you come, I won’t stop you; you’ll bear all consequences. By the way, tell that Young Master Du, that girls from Nine Heavens Pavilion, even if not insisting on equal status, need to have self-awareness, comparable strength." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He Wenyu nodded repeatedly: "Most importantly, in moments of crisis, it’s the hero saving the beauty, not the beauty saving the coward!"
