I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1154

1154 The Blind Date

Yunfan’s original intention was just to use this identity to settle down in the Spirit Realm, but who knew that after meeting Marquis Zhongxin’s mother, the old lady would be unexpectedly good to him?

Later, Chu Yunfan found out that it might have something to do with his appearance. The old lady had a younger son who died many years ago while protecting her. She had always felt guilty, so after she saw him, she probably thought of him as the incarnation of her younger son.

Marquis Zhongxin’s household wanted to select a successor from the side. Many other candidates lived in the marquis’ residence, but they had not been decided yet.

And among these people, Chu Yunfan was the most special one. The others couldn’t wait to hang around in front of Marquis Zhongxin every day, but Chu Yunfan was different. Other than occasionally paying respects to the old lady, he only met Marquis Zhongxin during the new year with the others.

Although Chu Yunfan kept a low profile, he was quite famous in the marquis’ residence because of the old lady’s favoritism.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he really didn’t have the slightest intention of competing, he would probably be able to win over a group of people by his side, and he wouldn’t have to live in such a remote side courtyard.

However, the old lady had arranged a blind date for him when she returned to her hometown, which made him feel like how he had been forced by his mother to marry in the past.

No matter why the old lady was so nice to him, Chu Yunfan was someone of feelings so he was naturally touched. However, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

In the past year, due to his injuries, he had no choice but to lay low. Now, everything was different. Even if he was not at his peak, there were not many people in the world who could be his opponent.

“All right, I got it,” Chu Yunfan said.

He went to his room to change his clothes and left. Compared to the other candidates who had beautiful wives and concubines, Chu Yunfan was really low-key in many people’s eyes.

Seeing Chu Yunfan leave, the maidservant heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t know why, but even though everyone in the manor knew that this Young Master Fan had no cultivation, she still couldn’t help but feel nervous when facing him. She was a maidservant of the grand madam and was not this nervous even when meeting Marquis Zhongxin.

As she heaved a sigh of relief, she did not notice that when Chu Yunfan left, his footsteps were so light that he did not make a single sound.

North of Conglong City, there was a huge mansion with red walls and green tiles. It was resplendent with gold and jade. The pavilions and terraces were comparable to each other.

On a pavilion, two women were sitting side by side. One of the women was wearing a fiery red short robe. She was neat and clean, had a pretty face and an outstanding figure. She looked valiant and heroic.

The other woman was dressed in a light yellow long dress. She had a slender figure and exquisite facial features. Her skin was as white as snow. At this moment, her embroidered brows were slightly furrowed, and her small mouth was slightly open as she said, “Xiuxiu, this is so annoying. My father wants me to go on a blind date with a good-for-nothing young master. It would be fine if he was the son of Marquis Zhongxin, but he’s just a branch family descendant. I heard that he doesn’t have any martial arts. He’s just a good-for-nothing young master.”

This was the young lady of the Situ family, Situ Miaoyi, who had a blind date with Chu Yunfan.

“We women are all grown up. Sooner or later, we will have such an experience,” the red-robed woman, An Xiuxiu, said directly, “Besides, he’s only asking you to go on a blind date, not to marry him. What’s the big deal? You can only blame your great reputation. Even the grand madam of Marquis Zhongxin’s household has heard of you. The old lady is the chaperone today. How many people in Conglong City can afford to offend her?”

“This is so annoying. Why can’t we women choose our own marriage? ” Situ Miaoyi mumbled in a depressed manner.

“I can!” An Xiuxiu pouted and said, “It’s because you’re too weak. If you were in the Divine Abilities Stage, your future would be limitless. No one could force you. In this world, the strong are respected. Innates are just ants. Only those in the Divine Abilities Stage can control a part of their own fate. If you want to truly transcend, you have to be in the Core Stage.”

“The Core Stage? I didn’t think that far. There are so many people in the Great Wei Kingdom, but how many of them can enter the Core Stage?” Situ Miaoyi pouted and said, “I know that you have good talent and have entered the Divine Abilities Stage at such a young age. There’s no need to keep showing off.”

“I’m still far from it. I’m now in the Divine Abilities Stage, but I only have the qualifications to enter the circle of a small group of people,” An Xiuxiu shook her head.

“Hey, don’t make it sound like you’re so much stronger than me. I’m at the peak of the Innate Stage!” Situ Miaoyi said with dissatisfaction. “I’m only one step away from Divine Abilities Stage!”

“It’s not the same. One step away is like the difference between cloud and mud. One step behind means you’ll fall behind step by step. I don’t doubt that you’ll be able to enter the Divine Abilities Stage, but at that time, you’ll be one of many,” An Xiuxiu said.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. What if that guy pesters me?” Situ Miaoyi said. She had seen many people like that. Since she was young, her appearance had been outstanding, and she had many suitors. Among them, there were many who were pestering her.

“I don’t think it’s possible. I’ve investigated him. He’s really low-key, and not many people even know what he looks like. This kind of person is either really mediocre or has great perseverance. In any case, the probability of him pestering you is very low,” An Xiuxiu said bluntly. “But how about I go with you to check it out? If he dares to do anything, I’ll help you teach him a lesson.”

“I was just waiting for you to say that!” Situ Miaoyi’s smile was so sweet that it was as if the room was filled with flowers.

Pinyi Pavilion was one of the few teahouses in Conglong City. It was said that there was a powerful force behind it. All the rich people in Conglong City liked to drink tea here.

In a private room, Chu Yunfan was sitting on a chair, drinking tea from time to time. Although he had been waiting for an hour, he was not in a hurry.

The entire private room was in line with the way of Feng Shui. The furniture was also made of spirit wood and engraved with spirit-gathering arrays, constantly emitting faint spirit energy. If people lived in such an environment for a long time, it would be extremely beneficial to their cultivation.

The Federation also had similar places, but the Federation’s research on arrays was far less advanced, so the effects were naturally different.

The tea that Chu Yunfan was drinking contained extremely dense spirit energy. It was a high-quality tea. As he drank the tea, he used his cultivation to refine the spirit energy in it to heal his injuries.

To him, this was healing his injuries and a form of cultivation. Even though he had been stood up for an hour, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
