Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 73: Being a Handsome Guy is Exhausting

There was a dining table in the hall, and two people were sitting behind it: Shangguan Changge and a man in his fifties.

Shangguan Changge was not wearing the noble palace attire from last night, but a simple light robe. Her hair was pinned up casually with a hairpin.

The man sitting beside her had a square mouth and straight nose. He exuded an air of authority from his long-held high position, as well as a literary aura that only scholars possessed.

He was dressed in a blue robe, with a hint of white at his temples. His eyes carried a sense of vicissitude, without deliberately concealing the traces of time.

Just from this demeanor, Xu You knew that this person was Zhou Wuji, one of the core powerful cultivators of the Great Zhou imperial family and the Western River County's guardian.

When he was young, he was born as a military general and had a fondness for literature. He was skilled in strategy and made extraordinary contributions during conflicts with foreign tribes.

He possessed the domineering aura of a military general as well as the lightness of a scholar, making him a renowned Confucian general on the border.

After the border became peaceful, he retreated to the second line and became the county magistrate of Western River County. He had been in this position for over thirty years. During these decades, he had been in charge of the livelihoods of the people in Western River County.

He had an excellent reputation among the people and was a beloved county magistrate.

"Greetings, County Magistrate. Greetings, Senior Shangguan," Xu You bowed and greeted them first.

"Please sit. Changge said that you came to celebrate my birthday, but I didn't have time to meet you last night. I apologize for the rudeness," Zhou Wuji said in a warm voice, gesturing for Xu You to sit.

After expressing his thanks, Xu You sat down across from them.

Zhou Wuji continued, "Young friend, you have profound cultivation at such a young age and have brought prosperity to the Kunlun Immortal Sect. I must thank you for what happened the night before last."

"County Magistrate overpraises me. I am just an ordinary disciple. As an Immortal Gate disciple, I naturally cannot stand idly by in such matters," Xu You modestly replied.

Zhou Wuji narrowed his eyes and smiled as he carefully observed Xu You.

Xu You picked up his teacup and took a sip, while Zhou Wuji continued to speak.

"Xu You, there is something I want to discuss with you," Shangguan Changge turned to look at Xu You.

"Please go ahead, Senior," Xu You nodded.

"I have a daughter named Wan'er. She is beautiful and talented. Currently, she is focusing on cultivating in the Taiyi Sect and is around the same age as you. If you have the time, I can introduce you to each other in the future," Shangguan Changge said slowly.

Xu You was taken aback and almost choked on the tea in his mouth. He looked at Zhou Wuji, who remained calm, and then at Shangguan Changge, whose eyes were calm.

In an instant, he understood. Although the other party said it so tactfully, it seemed that this was not just a casual remark!

Were they suggesting that he become their son-in-law? No, it shouldn't be to that extent. Their identities and status couldn't possibly be so low. They probably just wanted to be friends.

After realizing this, Xu You nodded and smiled, "Of course, I am also very interested in meeting Senior's daughter. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely pay her a visit."

Upon hearing Xu You's response, Shangguan Changge only smiled lightly and did not mention this topic any further. Instead, they chatted casually about daily life in the Immortal Gate.

Xu You naturally spoke without reservation, attentively engaging in small talk with the other party.

When the sun was high in the sky, Xu You's communication jade token in his pocket vibrated. It was a message from the Immortal Gate office in the city.

Seeing this, Xu You pointed to the jade token apologetically, "Senior, there is still something I need to attend to in my sect. I'm afraid I have to leave now."

"Go ahead." Shangguan Changge nodded.

"Thank you for your hospitality, senior. I will take my leave now." Xu You stood up and bowed respectfully before turning to leave the hall.

Shangguan Changge and Zhou Wuji watched Xu You leave. After a while, Zhou Wuji suddenly sighed, "This Xu You's talent is truly exceptional, worthy of being called a dragon and phoenix among men. Although Kunlun Immortal Sect has declined, its heritage is extraordinary. The disciples under its sect are still as formidable as dragons."

This sigh came from him as a member of the royal family. The profound heritage of the Immortal Gate was enough to make anyone sincerely admire it.

Shangguan Changge said, "I didn't exaggerate, did I? Xu You is indeed an extremely rare talent. The fact that he was able to use Three Realms Sword Qi to defeat someone in the Four Realms speaks for itself."

"You're right," Zhou Wuji nodded lightly. "It's just that Wan'er has a gentle temperament. Wasn't what you said earlier a bit inappropriate?"

Shangguan Changge replied slowly, "I understand that. I didn't say they have to get along well. Young people's affairs should be left to them. It's good to have more friends and more paths. It doesn't matter if they can't become friends.

A new era of the Great Dao is coming, and no one knows how you and I will fare under the overall situation. The world's luck will eventually belong to the young. I'm just thinking ahead for Wan'er."

Zhou Wuji pursed his lips and remained silent. Such matters were trivial to him.

Although young people were indeed outstanding, his own strength and status were still sufficient. It was not yet the time to rely on young people.

On the other hand, when Xu You left the Lord's Mansion, he immediately headed towards the office.

Shangguan Changge's words just now made him think a lot. He originally thought that Shangguan Changge had given him two valuable gifts when they met last night because of his master Li Changsheng.

But now, upon careful consideration, it seemed that it was not just because of that reason. She was investing in an outstanding young man.

Xu You suddenly felt a bit helpless. When a person is outstanding, others will swarm around like bees. Xu You felt a lot of pressure. It's so tiring to be a handsome guy.

"Senior Xu!"

A greeting from behind startled him. He turned around and saw Huo Lianyi calling him.

The young girl was dressed in ordinary attire, her hair tied up in a cloud bun, and her face still covered with a veil. Her eyes were filled with joy as she looked at him.

"It's Junior Sister Huo. How are you? Are you alright?" Xu You smiled and stopped in his tracks, asking.

"I'm fine. Senior Brother spent the night at the Lord's Mansion last night, so I waited here on purpose." Huo Lianyi walked up to Xu You's side. "I haven't properly thanked Senior Brother yet. Thank you, Senior Brother."

"You're welcome." Xu You nodded.

"My mother said that if you ever need any help in the future, feel free to ask her." Huo Lianyi continued.

Xu You couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. After learning about the Huo family, he didn't dare to say anything about asking for help.

He kept his distance from such crazy women.

Even Huo Lianyi, he had the same intention. The behavior of Huo Lianyi that night was unforgettable for Xu You.

Of course, he couldn't say these things in front of the young girl. He just nodded and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Junior Sister."

"You're welcome."

After a brief chat with Xu You, Huo Lianyi bid farewell and left. As a popular idol, she was very busy. Her schedule was packed with listening parties, and she had to rush to the next location.

"Oh, by the way, Senior Brother, don't forget to invite me to the ceremony of your dual cultivation with Senior Sister Luo in the future." The young girl's crisp laughter carried this sentence as she left.
