The Immortality Ceremony, the Red Matchmaker Star Stirred
In the almshouse on the side peak of Flying Sky Stockade.
A girl who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old was busy in the yard.
Under her direction, the children at the orphanage were walking back to their rooms in an orderly fashion.
Occasionally, if one of the two troublemakers tries to cause trouble, the other will simply grab their ear and, with a bitter expression, obediently comply.
Most of the children who are sent here are non-human, alien races, or other beings.
They all look different, have vastly different lifestyles, and some are not even humanoid.
In the outside world, calling them "monsters" would be considered a compliment.
The fact that the girl was able to arrange the lives of these children so well shows that she put a lot of thought and effort into it.
It wasn't until the girl finished arranging all her work and was about to go back to the cafeteria to cook dinner for the children that she noticed there was someone standing at the door.
The man stood with his arms crossed over his chest, leaning against the door, looking somewhat lost in thought.
The clean and tidy white robe he wore somehow gave off a slightly disheveled feeling.
However, more striking than his appearance and attire was the long sword on his back, subtly exuding a sense of sharp, untamed power. "Lü Yan?"
Looking at the boy at the door with slight surprise, the girl immediately called out his name.
To the young girl, Lü Yan was a genius from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, someone who shouldn't have had any dealings with this orphanage.
It wasn't until last year, when Lü Yan came to Flying Sky Stockade to study "Mechanical Structures," that the two met for the first time.
At that time, Lü Yan was only there to do charity work at the orphanage, and the girl happened to be his guide at the time.
Because of Lü Yan's outstanding appearance and demeanor, coupled with his reputation as a "genius," the girl remembered him instantly. "Hmm, you remember me!"
He hurriedly put his hands down, a rare moment of panic on Lü Yan's face.
Upon seeing this, the girl immediately chuckled softly, a subtle tenderness flashing between her brows, a stark contrast to her previous sharp reprimand of the children.
"Of course I remember, how could I not remember you?"
"Among that group of volunteers, you were the only one who contributed both money and effort."
Hearing the girl's slightly teasing words, Lü Yan finally regained some composure, and his eyes no longer darted around.
"I just value credits..."
Lü Yan's voice wasn't quiet, but his tone always revealed a lack of confidence.
Fortunately, the girl didn't intend to dwell on the matter and instead asked with considerable curiosity.
"Are you here this time... still to earn credits?"
When she said this, the girl's words were full of uncertainty.
As far as the girl knew, the Mountain Folk had a 30-year compulsory education system.
Lü Yan is only eighteen years old this year. In principle, he should study for another fifteen years before he is eligible to apply to university.
However, considering his actual performance, the girl felt that he had most likely already graduated.
At the very least, the other person definitely doesn't need to earn any more credits.
"No, I just came to take a look."
After a brief hesitation, Lü Yan shook his head and explained.
"I'll be eating Peach of Immortality in a few days, and this is the first time I've put what I've learned into practice. I think it's very meaningful." The girl nodded in realization, naturally understanding the significance of "Peach of Immortality" to the Mountain Folk.
Ever since the Queen Mother of the West gave the seeds of the peaches of Peach of Immortality to the Mountain Folk Mountain Folk, achieving immortality has no longer been a difficult thing for them.
Once a Peach of Immortality is consumed, even Mountain Folk with no cultivation background can live to the limit of their physical age.
If they succeed in their cultivation, this Peach of Immortality will be the starting point for them to embark on the path to "immortality".
Therefore, most Mountain Folk consider the day they first ate a peach of Peach of Immortality as their "birth," a day of great commemorative value. "Congratulations! You're finally going to hold your 'longevity ceremony'!"
"Come in, come in and sit down. I won't order you around this time."
She quickly waved to Lü Yan, signaling him not to stand at the door any longer; the girl's smile was as warm as spring.
At the same time, on the main peak of Flying Sky Stockade.
"Is that Lü Yan?"
Yunxiao looked down at the almshouse on the side peak, while behind her, Qingji was busy loading goods.
As a veteran figure who always "Mission Accomplished," Qingji, even though he has become the second most important person after Zhao Gongming Hundred Lands Mountain Range, still prefers to personally handle all the goods, especially valuable ones like this one, Qingji absolutely forbids from passing through the hands of a third party.
"That's right, that's Lü Yan, the Mountain Folk is rumored to have the potential to become the second Dao Ancestor."
"I think that's definitely an exaggeration, but he is indeed very smart; even Wu Xian and Wu Zhen were eager to teach him."
Walking slowly to Yunxiao's side, Qiongxiao and Bixiao took turns speaking.
What about Hanzhi?
When did he meet Hanzhi?
Instead of focusing his gaze on Lü Yan, Yunxiao turned to look at the girl in the orphanage.
That girl was none other than Hanzhi, who was transformed from the seven-colored lotus root.
At the invitation of Qiongxiao and Bixiao, Hanzhi arrived at the Hundred Lands Mountain Range earlier than Yunxiao.
Then, like Qiongxiao and Bixiao, Hanzhi, having seen all the bustling aspects of these Hundred Lands Mountain Range, ultimately chose to stay temporarily.
As for Yunxiao?
If it weren't for Zhao Gongming's kind invitation, she would still be cultivating on Penglai Island!
After all, ever since Qiongxiao and Bixiao sent the latest version of the [Voice Transmission Talisman] back to Penglai Island, the four of them have been chatting and communicating via video almost every day. So Yunxiao, who was not particularly interested in material desires, naturally wouldn't have the idea of going out because of loneliness.
"I heard it was when Lü Yan came to study last time?"
The naturally carefree Bixiao pondered for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly.
Instead, Qiongxiao noticed Yunxiao's slightly furrowed brows and took the initiative to hug her arm, asking softly.
"Big sister, did you figure something out?"
In response to Qiongxiao's question, Yunxiao relaxed her brows and smiled faintly.
"I was just a little curious..."
"Besides, it seems Hanzhi has taken a liking to that kid?"
Upon hearing this, Qiongxiao and Bixiao were immediately taken aback and quickly craned their necks to look in the direction of the orphanage.
"That can't be right!"
"How is this possible?"
Looking at his two younger sisters, Yunxiao merely raised an eyebrow and asked in return.
Why is that impossible?
"If any of you had seriously practiced even a little bit of divination, you couldn't possibly have missed such an obvious 'Red Phoenix Star'."
"Besides, you all know what kind of person Hanzhi is, don't you?"
"Ever since you guys led her astray, most of her mind has stopped on cultivation."
"While I dislike Lü Yan's lazy and frivolous personality, I cannot deny his attractiveness to women."
"Especially for a naive young girl like Hanzhi, his attraction is unparalleled."
