nAt night, on the flower boat by the lakeside.

nThere was a group of ladies dressed beautifully, seducing the passing men with the most enchanting posture.

nLi Tongzhou stood on the shore, pointing at the many beautiful women with an excited face.

n

"Juniors, feel free to choose. Young master Fang will pay for tonight's expenses!

"

nThose who could be called Junior by him were naturally not old.

nThe faces of the few inexperienced virgins were flushed red. They clearly could not wait, yet they acted reserved.

n

"Is... is it really okay?

"

n

"Of course.

"

nLi Tongzhou gave a wretched smile.

"You have cultivated in the sect for so long, but have any of your senior sisters and junior sisters ever looked at you?

"

nEveryone shook their heads in unison.

n

"Isn't that so! Since you don't have a Dao Partner, then what's the point of being polite?

"

nLi Tongzhou pointed at them.

"Everyone pick one to drink with! Whoever doesn't pick is looking down on me and Senior Fang!

"

nOne of the junior brothers asked weakly,

"Senior, can... can I pick two?

"

nLi Tongzhou said proudly,

"Not to mention two, as long as you can take it, even if it's twenty, your seniors here will arrange it for you! Right, Senior Fang?

"

nFang Yuan stood at the back with a dark face.

nHe regretted it.

nHe regretted coming along.

nHe should have written down all the questions he wanted to ask on paper and let Li Tongzhou ask them himself.

nLi Tongzhou saw that Fang Yuan's expression was not right and immediately waved his hand.

"You guys go up first. Senior Fang and I still have some things to talk about.

"

nThe few of them looked at each other and did not dare to move. Everyone knew that the one who really made the decision was Fang Yuan, not Li Tongzhou.

n

"Go.

"

nFang Yuan's expression softened a little. For the sake of information, he had to endure it!

nOnly then did the few of them feel relieved. They happily boarded the ship to pick out girls.

n

"Senior, I'm not saying that you have to act like you're out to play. If you can't even let go of them like this, how are you going to get any information?

"

n

"I know. I'll try my best to act happy later.

"

n

"Is it that hard?

"

nLi Tongzhou grinned.

"Look at these beautiful girls. They're so pleasing to the eye. Why do you look so upset as if you're looking at your enemy?

"

nFang Yuan glanced at them. They were all pretty, but Bai Yao, Wan Qian, and even Xu Zhiyu kept flashing through his mind.

nEspecially Bai Yao. Whenever he thought of her, he felt a strange sense of guilt.

n

"Perhaps my standards are higher,

" Fang Yuan said casually.

nLi Tongzhou was stunned for a moment and scratched his head.

"That's true. Senior, you've only come into contact with beauties of Senior Wan and Miss Xu's standards. It's natural for you to look down on these mediocre beauties.

"

nFang Yuan shrugged, expressing his helplessness.

n

"However, you have to pick one no matter what later.

"

nFang Yuan's face stiffened.

"Why would I pick? I'm not touching them.

"

n

"Just for show.

"

nLi Tongzhou lowered his voice.

"If you don't pick, how will you answer when those juniors ask?

"

n

"Well...

"

nFang Yuan hesitated, as if it was really hard to explain.

nShould he say that he did not want to get close to women?

nWouldn't it obvious that he had an ulterior motive?

nLi Tongzhou suddenly looked behind Fang Yuan and said with a smile,

"Looks like you don't have to choose, Senior.

"

n

"Huh?

"

nFang Yuan followed his line of sight and turned his head. Xu Zhiyu was holding her skirt and wading towards them with a row of guards behind her.

nWhy was she here?

nXu Zhiyu walked closer and bowed to Fang Yuan.

n

"Big Brother Fang, father heard that you were going to have a banquet here. He was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find your way back home when you were drunk, so he asked me to take care of you.

"

nFang Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

nThis old fellow, Vice City Lord Xu, was really in a hurry to send his daughter out.

nThis excuse... was really impeccable.

nLi Tongzhou quietly approached him.

"Senior, opportunity's come knocking, you must seize it.

"

nFang Yuan directly kicked him.

nHowever, having Xu Zhiyu accompany him was a little more comfortable than having other strange women sit beside him. He didn't refuse her at the moment and said,

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Miss Xu to be my female companion.

"

n

"It's my honor to be of service to Big Brother Fang.

"

nXu Zhiyu reached out and held onto Fang Yuan's arm. Her face was flushed red, and she was even more beautiful than during the day.

nLi Tongzhou smiled ambiguously and led the two to the reserved private room.

nThe few juniors were already having fun with the girls, and they were touching and talking at the same time.

nXu Zhiyu was so embarrassed that she could not even look at them. She could not help but wonder if she would be like this with Fang Yuan later...

n

"Cough cough!

"

nLi Tongzhou coughed heavily, and the few of them restrained themselves.

nWhen they saw Xu Zhiyu, who was as beautiful as a fairy, they were all stunned.

nLi Tongzhou coughed again.

nThe few of them suddenly came to their senses and quickly praised her.

n

"Ah... as expected of Senior Fang. Your vision is extraordinary. To be able to find such a beautiful woman among the crowd, I admire you!

"

n

"If I have to say it, even if we found her, I think the lady wouldn't pay attention to us. Besides Senior Fang, who else here would be able to win this lady's favor?

"

n

"That's right! That's right! Senior Fang is so talented, it's only natural!

"

n...

nFang Yuan couldn't take it anymore, so he gestured for everyone to take their seats.

nLi Tongzhou knew that Fang Yuan couldn't handle such an occasion, so he took the initiative to lighten up the atmosphere.

nAfter three rounds of drinks, although Fang Yuan didn't talk much, everyone was having a merry time.

nSoon, under Li Tongzhou's deliberate guidance, the topic of conversation shifted to what Fang Yuan wanted to ask.

n

"Sigh, I followed you all the way here, but Senior Zhang has been acting so mysteriously these past few days. We haven't even seen the person for three days. When will this sect mission be completed?

"

nOne of the juniors waved his hand drunkenly and stammered,

"This... mission... won't be completed in a short time... we have to take it slow... burp...

"

nLi Tongzhou and Fang Yuan looked at each other, asking:

"What do you mean?

"

n

"Actually, telling you seniors is... not a big deal, this time... it is the Gu Demon Sect's scheme, they want to take over the guarding rights of Yong An Hall.

"

n

"Seniors, you should have heard of it before... It is... It is a feng shui treasure ground in our area. When a Gu master from the two sects accidentally dies... Basically, they are buried there.

"

n

"Recently, I don't know where Gu Demon Sect learned a secret technique... they can open up the closed acupointss of the dead... and extract the Gu worms inside.

"

n

"Our Gu Immortal Sect wants to protect the tombs of our ancestors, death is the most important thing... no one has the right to touch the things that belong to the dead.

"

n

"But the Gu Demon Sect does not think so, they feel that since the dead cannot be revived, it is better to use the resources they left behind, to contribute to the living and raise their strength!

"

n

"Tell me, can we give in!

"

n

"This time, the sect leader asked Senior Zhang to lead the team, he wants to send core disciples to guard this place, so that they do not dare to act rashly.

"

n

"If they do anything to our sect's personal disciples, our Gu Immortal Sect will have the right, and whether to fight or have them compensate, we will have the final say!

"
