Chapter 49
A Disordered Match
Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan and Han Li immediately bowed and said in unison.
"Greetings, Senior Sister Hongfu!"
Upon hearing the two's greeting, Hong Fu didn't say anything, but was somewhat surprised by Li Huayuan's introduction: "Personal disciple? Junior brother is not very old, why are you in such a hurry to leave behind your legacy?"
"Senior sister, you may not know this, but Yun Fan is exceptionally talented, possessing an extremely rare Fire Spirit Body. This..."
Upon hearing Li Huayuan's words, a hint of joy flashed in Hong Fu's eyes, and she immediately interrupted him.
"Fire Spirit Body! Junior Brother, are you serious?"
Li Huayuan paused, not understanding why his famous senior sister would react this way. However, he nodded and then beckoned Li Yunfan to come forward so that she could examine him personally.
Li Yunfan, who overheard the conversation between the two, was equally astonished and couldn't help but wonder if his Fire Spirit Body had some special features.
Although his mind was filled with many thoughts, he still obediently walked up to Hong Fu and extended his arm.
Hong Fu didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to examine him. When she confirmed that Li Yunfan was indeed a Fire Spirit Body, a smile appeared on her face.
"Good! It really is this spirit!"
Seeing this, Li Huayuan and his wife exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled. Li Huayuan then cautiously asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister! What's wrong...?"
The smile on Hong Fu's face gradually faded, and she returned to her cold expression. However, she did not explain anything, but instead spoke to Li Huayuan.
"Junior brother, I think your personal disciple is quite good, let's choose him!"
Although Li Huayuan was completely confused at the moment, he did not agree immediately. After all, he knew that Senior Brother Chen also had his eye on the other party, so he said with some difficulty.
"Senior Sister, why don't you take a look at Han Li before making a decision? My ninth disciple is quite good too, not only is he at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he also perfectly meets Senior Sister's requirements..."
Hong Fu frowned, not even glancing at Han Li, and said in a slightly displeased tone, "What, Junior Brother, are you reluctant to part with your personal disciple, or do you think Xuan'er is not good enough for him?"
"Senior sister has misunderstood! It's just..." Upon hearing this, Li Huayuan's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly began to explain, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly switched to using divine sense to transmit his voice.
After a moment, Hong Fu's expression softened. After a slight pause, she suddenly glanced at Han Li, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Li Huayuan and his wife did not interrupt, but let Hongfu think about it slowly on her own.
"Junior brother, has the Chen family confirmed their relationship with your disciple? Has your disciple had any relationship with that woman from the Chen family?" After thinking it over and over again, Hong Fu finally made up her mind and began to ask using divine sense transmission.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Li Huayuan knew that the other party had confirmed Li Yunfan's identity. He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, but he still answered the other party's question through telepathy.
The two sat on the chairs and communicated with each other using their divine sense, leaving Li Yunfan and his four male and one female disciples standing there somewhat at a loss.
Looking at this scene, Li Yunfan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. How could he not see the current situation? It was obvious that this Senior Sister Hongfu had taken a liking to him and wanted Dong Xuan'er to become his Daoist partner!
But shouldn't this be Han Li's problem? How did it fall on my shoulders?
Recalling the changes in his senior sister Hong Fu after hearing about the Fire Spirit Body, Li Yunfan couldn't help but wonder if it was because of his own spirit body.
Just then, Hong Fu suddenly stopped transmitting her thoughts and said directly, "In that case, I'll take Xuan'er back first. After you've found out the truth, send me a message."
After saying that, he stood up and left the hall with Dong Xuan'er. Li Huayuan gave his wife a look, and she immediately understood and got up to see them off.
"You two can go down first. I have something to say to Yun Fan and Han Li!" Li Huayuan said to Song Meng and Wu Xuan.
Upon hearing this, Song Meng and Wu Xuan immediately bowed and took their leave. However, as Wu Xuan was leaving, he looked at Li Yunfan with a strange expression.
This made Li Yunfan, who noticed the other person's gaze, feel helpless. He hadn't expected this to happen to him. He should have known better than to come to Li Huayuan's place...
After Song Meng and his companion left the hall, Li Huayuan turned to Li Yunfan and asked, "Yunfan, how are things going with that girl from the Chen family?"
Li Yunfan sighed inwardly, just as he had guessed, and then cupped his hands and said.
"Reporting to Master, this disciple is single-mindedly devoted to the Dao and has no plans to form a Daoist couple at the moment!"
"So, you do have feelings for that girl from the Chen family!" Li Huayuan said with a sigh.
Seeing that Li Yunfan didn't speak, he could only shake his head helplessly, and then looked at Han Li beside him and said.
"Han Li, you should have realized by now that the reason I called you here is to have you and Senior Sister Hong Fu's disciple become cultivation partners. You've also seen Dong Xuan'er's appearance; what do you think?"
"This disciple is also devoted to the Dao and has never thought of dual cultivation. Moreover, this disciple's aptitude is mediocre, and I really dare not presume to be a disciple of Senior Sister Hongfu!" Han Li said respectfully, cupping his hands.
What he said is true. Since entering the world of cultivation, he has always wanted to achieve immortality. With his talent, if he doesn't devote all his energy to cultivation, he will probably find it difficult to achieve his goal.
Moreover, Li Yunfan had already told him that the demonic path was about to invade Yue Kingdom, which would cause chaos in the cultivation world. How could he possibly have the mind to find a cultivation partner?
Of course, most importantly, there was always a beautiful image in his heart. Although he didn't know what she thought, the two of them had, after all, already...
"It's not fair to say she's climbing the social ladder. That Dong girl's aptitude is just average. I heard that when she was building her foundation, she took three Foundation Building Pills and a lot of precious medicines to barely succeed. If she weren't a close descendant of one of your senior uncles, she probably wouldn't have gone to such lengths. But this shows how much she's favored!" Li Huayuan said softly.
He paused for a moment, then sighed.
"Actually, I didn't recommend you at first. I wanted your seventh senior brother, Wu Xuan, to give it a try, but your senior uncle has some prejudice against handsome men, so he didn't think much of him and summoned you instead. I just didn't expect your senior brother, Yun Fan, to come, and your senior uncle seems to really like him!"
As Li Huayuan spoke, he glanced at Li Yunfan and saw that he was still silently bowing his head. He shook his head helplessly.
"Since you're not in the mood for it, you should go back now!"
Han Li glanced at Li Yunfan and saw that Li Yunfan was also glancing at him. He couldn't help but find it amusing, so he withdrew his gaze, bowed, and left the hall.
