After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 39 Lantern Banquet
Such a loud noise was not only heard by Luo Rufeng, but also by Pei Yun. She turned her head and stared at Luo Rufeng with great interest, and then glanced at Tao Yanyun who was not far away. However, her gossiping enthusiasm was immediately restrained after receiving Luo Rufeng's warning look.
She pursed her lips, suppressed her smile, and asked the stall owner in front of her: "Are these demon pills of Yuanti level?" Some demon pills are also auxiliary materials.
"Girl, I worked hard to hunt these demon pills at the Rock Ridge outside the city. If you want more, I can give you a discount..."
Pei Yun didn't care about gossip at the moment and immediately started bargaining with the cultivator. Then he and Luo Rufeng checked each demon pill one by one to confirm the grade of the demon pill.
"Rufeng, long time no see." Tao Yanyun knew that many people were paying attention to her. She walked up to Luo Rufeng and the others without any hesitation, with a calm expression on her face.
If Pei Yun had not heard about her character from Luo Qi, and had not accidentally encountered gossip in Yuejian Sect that day, it would have been hard for him to imagine that this graceful and elegant woman in front of him was a hypocritical and pretentious person.
Luo Rufeng turned around and glanced at her with a slightly frowned brow, nodded at her, and then continued to check the demon pill.
Pei Yun also looked at her silently without saying anything. The two of them quickly checked the demon pill. Pei Yun paid the spirit stone, and the two prepared to leave.
Tao Yanyun was a little embarrassed when she saw that Luo Rufeng didn't give her face in public. She was even more shocked when she noticed that Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun looked familiar with each other. Luo Rufeng had never been so close to a woman before, and even to her, she had never seen Luo Rufeng be so attentive.
She was so jealous that she could hardly keep the smile on her face. She stopped them and asked, "Rufeng, who is this girl?"
Luo Rufeng raised his eyes and glanced at Tao Yanyun indifferently. He was already impatient and was about to walk around her and leave.
Pei Yun bowed and said, "I am a disciple of Yunshan Sect. Before I went to Lingwu Mountain Range, I had the honor of meeting Miss Tao once in Yuejian Sect. At that time, Miss Tao was sitting next to the young master of Yuejian Sect."
When Tao Yanyun mentioned the young master, her expression changed, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes: "I remember now, you are the disciple who followed Rufeng to Yuejian Sect that day..."
"How come you are with Rufeng..." Tao Yanyun was about to ask why the two were together and looked so close, not at all like ordinary elders and disciples of a sect.
Luo Rufeng interrupted her and said to Pei Yun: "Let's go to the second floor to buy medicinal herbs for alchemy..."
Pei Yun nodded, and the two men ignored her and walked away without paying any attention to her.
Tao Yanyun looked at their backs, tightly clenching her handkerchief in her hand, with a gloomy look in her eyes.
Those who knew the inside story watched a good show. Tao Yanyun looked down on Luo Rufeng for his low spiritual roots and wanted to cancel the engagement. But now that she saw that Luo Rufeng was so talented and powerful, she tried every means to get close to him.
Did she really think Luo Rufeng was a fool? Did she still expect him to accept her after they had fallen out? Everyone secretly sneered in their hearts, wondering if Tao Yanyun was ignorant or shameless.
Pei Yun made a lot of purchases on the second floor, and because of the Luo family's status, the manager even gave her a discount.
After returning with a full load, Pei Yun continued to hide in the room to refine pills. Luo Rufeng still did not let her go. He would come to her house every few days to teach her swordsmanship. Although Luo Rufeng's teaching was a bit strict, the effect was indeed good. Her Nine Profound Gold Swordsmanship improved at an astonishing speed, and she also comprehended the Golden Sword Intent to the small success realm.
Luo Rufeng's yard was really quiet, and no one came to disturb them for a whole month.
But on this day, she had just finished refining the elixir and was about to meditate for a while when Luo Qi came to her house with a woman in pink.
Luo Qi introduced the two to each other: "This is Junior Sister Pei Yun, a disciple of Yunshan Sect... This is Su Yue from the Su family in Yongning City, a disciple of Huanyue Sect, and also... my distant cousin."
Pei Yun looked at Su Yue curiously. The Huanyue Sect was above average in status among the ten major sects in Beiqizhou, and the Huanyue Sect only accepted female disciples. She saluted and said, "Meet Miss Su."
"Why call me Miss Su? Just call me Senior Sister Su. You are Xiaoqi's junior sister, which means you are my junior sister..." This Miss Su was quite familiar with her. She took her arm and sat down. She ordered Luo Qi, "Why are there no snacks? Ask someone to bring some snacks over!"
Seeing that she treated this place as her own home without any hesitation, Luo Qi couldn't help rolling his eyes, but still ordered people to prepare some snacks and send them over.
"You are a monk, but you are still thinking about food all day long. You are greedy for food. Do you have any ambition?"
"Is what I'm eating snacks? That's called tasting gourmet food. There's nothing in this world that can make people happier than eating. You, a boring person who only practices swords all day long, won't understand..."
Listening to the two people's bickering, Pei Yun smiled lightly, knowing that these two must have a good relationship.
Su Yue no longer paid attention to Luo Qi, and chatted with Pei Yun with great interest: "Junior Sister Pei, you are here for the auction and trade fair at Baolin Pavilion, right..."
Pei Yun nodded: "I heard from Senior Brother Luo that the trade fairs and auctions held by Baolin Pavilion in Beiqizhou in previous years were very grand, so I wanted to come here to take a look."
"Of course. Baolin Pavilion has the support of Dongcangzhou's Baoqi Sect and Tiandan City. The six-story giant ship of Baolin Pavilion was specially made for it by Baoqi Sect. Every auction and trade fair will be held on this ship. You can watch. When the giant ship arrives at the dock outside the city, it means that the auction and trade fair are about to begin..."
Su Yue also became excited as she spoke, and told Pei Yun many scenes from previous auctions, as well as many rare and precious treasures.
Luo Qi occasionally interjected, and even recalled with Su Yue the various grand occasions of competing for treasures in the past. They told the story vividly, as if the scene appeared in front of Pei Yun, which made her stunned...
Luo Rufeng, who had come here to urge Pei Yun to practice swordsmanship, heard the lively chattering atmosphere in the room. He couldn't help but pause and shook his head helplessly.
The three people in the room were sitting by the window, which was open. The three people who were originally laughing and making noises immediately fell silent when they saw Luo Rufeng's figure walking past the window.
Su Yue was even more exaggerated. She was originally sitting leisurely without any worries, but now she straightened her back in an instant. She even smoothed her hair and put down the snacks in her hand. She looked like a dignified and self-possessed lady. Pei Yun was amazed by this transformation.
The tense atmosphere did not ease until Luo Rufeng's figure disappeared from the sight of the three people. Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her previous posture.
"This is..." This is too exaggerated. Is Luo Rufeng so scary? Pei Yun looked at Su Yue in confusion, trying to defend Luo Rufeng. "Senior Sister Su, Venerable Rufeng is usually very kind to us juniors. There is no need to be so nervous, right?"
Luo Qi laughed and revealed the true face of his childhood friend: "Your Senior Sister Su is not nervous, she just wants to perform well in front of my Third Uncle!"
"Uncle Luo is so outstanding, which young unmarried woman in Yongning City would not be in love with him? This is also normal for me. Besides, I have always been reserved and dignified..." Su Yue raised her chin confidently.
Pei Yun stared at Senior Sister Su in front of him in a daze, speechless for a moment.
Luo Qi sneered at the man in front of him without any courtesy, his expression firm: "Based on my understanding of my third uncle and my master, he would never like someone as pretentious as you..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Yue returned to her true nature and punched Luo Qi fiercely, laughing and making a scene: "Little Qi, you're itching for trouble, right? You've forgotten my iron fist after not seeing me for so many years, right!"
"A gentleman should use his words instead of his fists. Don't force me to lay hands on a woman..."
"If you dare to do that, I'll let your mother beat you up..."
……
As a result, when she had dinner at Luo's house and returned to Su's house, Su Yue remembered that her purpose was to find out the relationship between Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun. But she forgot it while chatting.
That day, Luo Rufeng accompanied a woman to Baolin Pavilion for shopping and met Tao Yanyun by chance. A scene of new love and old love meeting was staged. The rumor spread in a small circle among some gossipy people, and later it became more and more outrageous, with all kinds of rumors.
Su Yue is a person who loves gossip, so she asked Luo Qi to introduce her to someone to see if she could find out anything, but in the end she forgot everything.
However, she found that although Junior Sister Pei Yun's personality was a bit introverted, she was gentle and polite to others. She was neither a flatterer nor a follower of the crowd. At first glance, she was a cultivator with a firm heart of Taoism. She was not the same type of person as Tao Yanyun who liked to put on airs. She was a friend worth making.
It seems that the recent rumors that belittle Junior Sister Pei Yun and praise Tao Yanyun are just some people trying to take advantage of the situation!
Of course, Pei Yun didn't know about all these rumors. She hadn't left the house these days, and her daily life was just boring alchemy and cultivation. She didn't dare to enter other people's territory or space, and she didn't know what happened to the little cat demon. She didn't rush to take out the time plate for research, and she would wait until she returned to the sect to decide everything.
That day, Huang Lanshi came to visit her and brought a lot of clothes and jewelry.
Pei Yun quickly declined upon seeing this. It was already embarrassing to live in someone else's house, so how could he accept more things? Moreover, these clothes and jewelry were not ordinary earthly items, but high-grade magical instruments and robes.
"Don't be polite, Miss Pei. These are all prepared for you. My usual hobby is to dress up pretty girls. Just think of it as fulfilling my hobby..." Huang Lanshi smiled and touched her head. "By the way, the day after tomorrow we are going to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the Lantern Banquet hosted by the City Lord and his wife. Then you can wear these and go with us."
"This... a gift from an elder cannot be refused. Thank you very much, Grandma Luo." Pei Yun hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it and bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
"That's right, little girls should dress up beautifully!" Huang Lanshi was very happy. She took her hand and looked at her with energy. It seemed that she was really interested in dressing her up.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day after tomorrow. Everyone in the Luo family was waiting in the main hall. They saw Huang Lanshi pulling Pei Yun, who was dressed up in a bright red dress, out of the inner room.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they were all stunned by the bright eyes, white teeth and beautiful woman in front of them.
The moment Luo Rufeng saw her, a strange light flashed across his eyes, and his hands behind his back clenched into fists unconsciously.
"Let's go."
On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, the head of the Luo family secretly observed his son. He saw that he looked a little uncomfortable, but his eyes fell on Pei Yun from time to time. He and his wife looked at each other, and they both understood each other and smiled with relief.
Pei Yun followed closely behind the Luo family while secretly looking at the surroundings of the City Lord's Mansion. This place was much larger than the City Lord's Mansion in their Chi Ning City. It was surrounded by carved railings and jade bricks, and the houses and pavilions were scattered in an orderly manner. They walked through the long and winding corridors and arrived at the back garden where the banquet was held after a while.
At this time, all kinds of lanterns were hung everywhere in the back garden, and even the lake not far away was floating with lanterns. The dotted lights illuminated the entire back garden and added a special romantic interest to the whole dinner.
The Lantern Banquet is worthy of its name! Pei Yun sighed. He heard that the annual dinner at the City Lord's Mansion was conceived and arranged by the City Lord's wife. The City Lord's wife was also an interesting person.
The Luo family is also one of the largest families in Yongning City. As soon as they came in, many people came to greet them and exchanged pleasantries.
Pei Yun sat quietly between Luo Rufeng and Luo Qi, eating and drinking. The food served by the City Lord's Mansion was really delicious, and each dish contained some warm spiritual power, which showed that the quality of the ingredients was very good.
"...Senior Brother Luo, I feel like a lot of people are paying attention to me..." Pei Yun felt that many ambiguous gazes were focused on her, and the cultivation base of these people was almost all higher than hers, and the pressure was strong.
"This..." Luo Qi knew about the ugly rumors about her and Luo Rufeng, but he couldn't say it in front of Pei Yun, "Maybe... because you are beautiful!"
Pei Yun glanced at him speechlessly, then turned to look at Luo Rufeng.
Luo Rufeng met her bright eyes and pursed his lips unconsciously. Then a powerful aura emanated from his body, blocking the gazes and pressure focused on Pei Yun.
"...Eat some food." Luo Rufeng picked up some food for her.
This made the people who were secretly watching around gasp. It seemed that the rumors were true. Luo Rufeng and the woman were indeed close. Some people turned their attention to the Tao family not far away. Luo Rufeng rarely came back and brought a woman with him. It was said that Tao Yanyun had met these two people before. Now the new love and the old love met again. I wonder what good show will be!
"Yanyun, eat your vegetables." Seeing that Tao Yanyun looked unhappy, her mother looked at Luo Rufeng from time to time and sighed slightly.
The head of the Tao family glared at her with a warning look. He had not agreed to cancel the engagement in the first place. Keeping promises is the most basic thing for a person. Moreover, he had watched Luo Rufeng grow up since he was a child and knew Luo Rufeng's character.
But he could not bear the crying of the mother and daughter, and even took it upon himself to go to the Luo family to cancel the engagement, which made the Tao family lose face and they cut off all ties with the Luo family.
He knew his daughter regretted her behavior at once, but was Luo Rufeng someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will? If others saw her like this, they would only laugh at her.
"Don't do anything that brings shame to the Tao family again." Seeing Tao Yanyun staring at Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng with a serious look, he warned her through voice transmission.
Unfortunately, Tao Yanyun, who was so jealous that she didn't care about her father's instructions, stared at Pei Yun and dug her nails into her palm...
