Singers and Dancers, Yin Ziyu

The palace prepared by the Crimson Cloud Sect for its distinguished guests is quite large. After entering, there is a large courtyard, surrounded by suites, and there are corridors on both sides leading to the inner courtyard of the palace.

Inside the courtyard, cultivators dressed in the robes of the Crimson Cloud Sect servants were handling the palace's daily affairs.

Upon seeing Zhong Ming and his group arrive, they all bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, esteemed elders!"

At the same time, they also secretly glanced at Lu Yang and his group with some curiosity.

After all, Lu Yang and his group had never appeared before.

The fact that these people were brought here by several senior elders of the sect clearly indicates that they are people of extraordinary status.

Zhong Ming smiled broadly and said humbly, "Young Master Lu, they are located in the inner hall. Fellow Daoist Deng Peihuan from the Heavenly Melody Pavilion is also here, as are the protectors you sent."

Lu Yang nodded and followed Zhong Ming deeper inside, soon arriving at the inner hall.

Zhong Ming arrived at a room and knocked gently.

Soon, the door opened, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with fair skin and jade-like complexion.

Lu Yang had met Wenren Yu and Wenren Ge before, but they weren't familiar with each other, so he couldn't immediately tell who this person was.

The moment the female cultivator saw Zhong Ming, she immediately stood up straight, cupped her hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Senior Zhong! Senior Zhong, have you come to check on my mother's condition again? Thank you for your help!"

Zhong Ming waved his hand and quickly said, "No, it's Young Master Lu who have arrived."

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator was taken aback and turned to look to the side, where she saw Lu Yang and the others.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, a glistening tear appeared in her eyes, and her pretty face flushed slightly. She looked away and then quickly and respectfully cupped her hands, saying, "Young Master Lu! What brings you here? We... we originally planned to come and pay our respects to you first, but my mother's condition is rather serious, so we had to come to the Crimson Cloud Sect to heal her injuries."

Hearing the female cultivator's voice and tone, Lu Yang immediately realized that this was his elder sister, Wenren Yu.

After all, although Wenren Ge is the younger sister, she seems to be more mature and composed.

Perhaps hearing Wenren Yu's voice, footsteps sounded again from inside the door, and Wenren Ge came out.

She bowed respectfully to Lu Yang, her bright eyes filled with gratitude. "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu. We, your sister and I, have failed to greet you properly upon your arrival. We hope you will forgive Young Master Lu."

Lu Yang waved his hand and chuckled, "We're here to visit the Dao of Alchemy Convention and plan to stay here. Just take good care of your mother; is she alright? If you need any help, just let me know."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Ge and Wenren Yu's eyes filled with gratitude.

Wenren Yu quickly waved her hands and said, "No need, Young Master Lu. Mother is doing very well now, all thanks to the Perilla Flowers you gave us. We've already spoken to our master and mother, and once Mother has fully recovered, we're willing to serve you like a slave!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang felt a strange sensation.

Good heavens, Deng Peihuan took someone as her apprentice, and now she's actually willing to let that person be her slave?

Lu Yang shook his head inwardly, not giving it much thought.

That female cultivator seems to be a rather opportunistic person with ulterior motives.

However, she harbored no ill will towards Lu Yang, and Lu Yang did not feel offended in any way.

Lu Yang chuckled lightly, "There's no need to be a slave. I have no intention of enslaving anyone. You two are from the Heavenly Melody Pavilion and are skilled in Sound Dao. In your free time, just sing and dance for me."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Ge and Wenren Yu blushed slightly, but a sense of joy welled up in their hearts.

Does Lu Yang's statement mean he's willing to take them in?

This is naturally excellent news for them!

They knew very well how distinguished this Young Master Lu was, and besides, he was incredibly handsome.

However, Wenren Ge and Wenren Yu knew their own situation; they were just ordinary female cultivators with above-average talent.

Perhaps, being inner disciple of the Heavenly Melody Pavilion was originally an advantage for them.

However, such advantages are naturally nothing compared to Young Master Lu.

Furthermore, since Sister Yingying, who had done them a great favor, was Young Master Lu's dao companion, they dared not have any improper thoughts about Young Master Lu, nor did they ever think of gaining Young Master Lu favor.

In their eyes, the fact that Young Master Lu took them in was already their greatest fortuitous opportunity!

Even if they become singers and dancers for Young Master Lu, given Young Master Lu status, as long as they can get even a little bit of fortuitous opportunity, they might have a better future than becoming the personal disciples of the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Melody Pavilion!

Moreover... to be honest, Deng Peihuan's sudden intimacy with them made them feel somewhat uneasy.

The two women understood that the reason Deng Peihuan was treating them so well now was mainly because of Sister Yingying and Young Master Lu.

If one day in the future, Sister Yingying and Young Master Lu stop contacting them, would Deng Peihuan still be willing to be their master as she is now?

I'm afraid not, after all, their natural talent is what it is, not particularly strong.

The reason the two made such statements this time was that Wenren Ge had discussed the matter privately with Wenren Yu.

Wenren Yu didn't think that much about it, but Wenren Ge was more mature and would naturally think more deeply.

When Wenren Ge laid out the pros and cons before Wenren Yu had to admit that her younger sister's worries were not unfounded.

That's why the two sisters were overjoyed to hear Lu Yang agree.

However, they were still a little worried. They glanced at Lin Ying, afraid that Sister Yingying might think they had something on their brother-in-law or have a problem with them.

Fortunately, they saw that Lin Ying's smile remained gentle and kind as she smiled at them and said, "It's good that you're with us. Just focus on your cultivation from now on."

Hearing this, Wenren Ge and Wenren Yu were deeply moved, and Wenren Yu's eyes even reddened a little.

Since their father died in an accident when they were very young, their mother raised them in the market to make a living, and the two sisters have suffered a lot.

Very few people truly care about them.

Lin Ying is so good to them now that they genuinely consider Lin Ying their own older sister.

"Don't worry, Sister Yingying! We will definitely follow the rules!" Wenren Yu nodded confidently.

Lin Ying's intelligence has improved considerably, and she saw through their thoughts at a glance.

They probably only wanted Lu Yang's protection and didn't think about anything else.

But...

A slight smile appeared on her lips.

Now that I'm already following Lu Yang, my thoughts will probably change in the future.

After all, as a woman, she knew all too well how exaggerated Lu Yang's charm was now.

Having spent so much time together, she didn't believe that Wenren Ge and Wenren Yu could resist such charm.

Lin Ying smiled gently, "Take us to meet your mother."

Wenren Ge and Wenren Yu nodded quickly. "Mother is resting inside. Young Master Lu, Sister Yingying, please come over."

Lu Yang nodded slightly, glanced at Zhong Ming, and then chuckled, "You guys go ahead and get busy. We can wander around on our own afterwards."

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, the elders who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years naturally understood his meaning; clearly, Lu Yang did not want to be disturbed.

The group quickly nodded in agreement, then transformed into rainbow light and disappeared into the palace.

Afterwards, Lu Yang and the others followed the Wenren sisters into the palace and met their mother, a female cultivator whose appearance was quite similar to that of the Wenren sisters.

The female cultivator didn't look very old, but perhaps due to the influence of the evil Gu, she appeared quite thin, with a slightly sunken face, an extremely pale complexion, and her originally black hair looked dull and lifeless.

That evil Gu poison probably severely damaged her vital energy; it's already a miracle she survived.

The female cultivator had already heard the commotion outside the door and realized that Lu Yang and the others were about to come in, so she struggled to get up.

Upon seeing this, the Wenren sisters looked anxious and quickly went to support the female cultivator.

"Mother, the evil curse has just been removed, and you haven't fully recovered yet. Lie down and rest!" Wenren Yu said with a worried expression.

The female cultivator, slightly out of breath, said, "It's already impolite of me not to come out and greet my benefactor; how could I not rise to greet him?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang immediately smiled and said, "No need to get up. Lie down and rest properly to avoid further damage to your vital energy."

After Lu Yang finished speaking, he gently pressed down with his palm, and a gentle force pressed the female cultivator down to lie down again.

Seeing this, the female cultivator did not press the matter further. She simply looked at Lu Yang Yin Ziyu said, "My name is Ziyu. I greet Young Master Lu. Thank you for Young Master Lu help. Otherwise, I would probably be dead by now. I will forever remember your life-saving grace!"
