: A Domineering Family! A New Daoist Partner Has Been Matched!

Lu Yun stepped into the pillar of light, as if he were walking into water.

Then, a gentle force quickly lifted him up.

Suddenly, a blur of noise filled my ears.

He opened his eyes and was already on the deck. He stepped out of the pillar of light at the urging of the voices.

"If I stop, won't I be riding on someone else's back?"

The absurd idea flashed by in an instant.

Looking around, Lu Yun saw the groups of people on the magic boat, all of whom were boys and girls of similar age.

"So many people? There must be thousands."

Qin Yue, who arrived later, widened his eyes in surprise, looking somewhat bewildered.

Even if it's one in a thousand, with hundreds of millions of people in the Azure Mist Domain, there are still over a hundred thousand.

Ye Xiu opened his fan and waved it lightly, as if he had expected it.

"Our Purple Heart City is only considered average among the hundreds of cities in the Azure Mist Domain, yet we still have a dozen or so people selected. Not to mention those major cities."

"They've banded together in Purple Heart City," someone said.

With no one maintaining order on the deck, everyone made way for the area of ​​the beam of light and occupied a corner to look around curiously.

Lu Yun examined the bronze magic boat.

The three-story palace in the center is particularly eye-catching.

The first floor is open on all four sides, and the interior space is large enough to accommodate thousands of people, but there are only a hundred or so people here at this time.

Most people were scattered around the palace, not daring to approach.

As Lu Yun watched this scene, he already had a guess in his mind.

"The hall is filled with disciples from Foundation Establishment families and other prominent clans."

The second floor was filled with disciples of the Immortal Academy dressed in cloud-patterned robes, some gazing into the distance, others looking down at the deck.

Lu Yun spotted Feng Zhuo among them, following behind some other people.

Only the top floor remained silent.

"I suppose that's where the True Person who reached Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty is."

Suddenly, his feet swayed, and he felt a sense of weightlessness.

The Purple Heart City behind us grew smaller and smaller, and farther and farther away.

The Dharma boat instantly floated above the clouds, overlooking the magnificent mountains and rivers.

"What a fine Dharma boat!" Shen He exclaimed.

She also noticed that when the Dharma Boat was flying, it was enveloped by a layer of shimmering light, unaffected by external clouds and mist.

"Has it flown into the stratosphere?" Lu Yun thought to himself.

After a moment, their footing became steady, and Shen He excitedly pulled Lu Yun to look down at the magnificent landscape.

The Dharma boat is like a giant fish swimming in the sky, passing by the magnificent mountains and rivers below.

high speed.

After the Dharma boat stabilized, a disciple from a prominent family walked out from the central hall.

He was dressed in a Buddhist robe and had an extraordinary air about him.

A storage bag hung from his waist, and his cuffs were embroidered with the family crest.

This is their standard equipment.

Wherever he went, the people on the deck made way for him.

Many people wore expressions of awe and obsequiousness.

He walked all the way to Zixincheng and his group.

"Which of you are disciples of the Ye, Shen, and Feng families of Zixin City? Send one from each family to accompany me to the hall for a meeting."

"I'll go in and take a look."

After Ye Xiu finished speaking with Lu Yun and the others, he put away his folding fan and followed them.

Shen Xuan and Feng Yuxi from the Feng family were also prepared and followed.

Lu Yun and the others merely glanced at it, then chatted amongst themselves on the deck, overlooking the flowing mountains and rivers.

Calmly await arrival at the celestial hall.

Time passed by little by little, and after passing through several small towns, many more people came up.

One of them, not understanding the situation, wanted to go inside the palace to rest.

As soon as I went in, I was beaten up and thrown out.

"Those powerful families are too domineering," Shen He said indignantly.

...

The Dharma Boat passed over another city, which was more than ten times larger than Purple Heart City.

The city walls, like a giant beast, occupy the land.

Before the cultivators below could ascend, the second floor of the central hall stirred, with dozens of people surging out and descending on clouds to greet them.

Immediately afterwards, someone on the first floor also used a magical artifact to fly out.

Lu Yun and the others leaned curiously against the ship's side, looking down.

"Where is this? What a huge scene!"

"Qingchuan City," someone whispered beside him.

Seeing that Qin Yue still looked blank, Lu Yun explained.

"Our Qinglan Domain has five major Foundation Establishment families: the Deng family of Jiangkou, the Hou family of Qingchuan, the Wang family of Shanyin, the Feng family of Wuzhou, and the Liu family of Baoshan."

"So they're a Foundation Establishment family!"

Qin Yue looked on with awe; this was a powerful clan even more prestigious than the Shen family.

But as the blue light faded, no one dared to delay.

Following the blue light, hundreds of people flew up from the city like a swarm of locusts.

Dozens went straight to the second floor, and the rest squeezed into the first-floor hall, leaving no room to stand on the deck.

Very stylish.

The leader of the Hou family boarded the Dharma Boat and looked up at the third floor.

I want to visit Fairy Yingyue.

The third floor ignored them and didn't even open the door.

The man stood there for a moment, then slunk back to the second floor.

The deck fell silent.

The boys and girls, who had been chatting and laughing, are now all silent.

Some people looked down at the tips of their shoes, while others clenched their sleeves.

An oppressive sense of lifelessness spread across the deck.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime assessment, and there are so many people with connections...

Lu Yun suddenly realized: "The nine-rank system in the world of immortals and heroes is more than ten times stricter than the nine-rank system in my previous life."

After all, those old fogies up there are really hard to kill.

Opposite them came laughter emanating from the central hall.

The young men from prominent families were drinking tea and chatting, their voices audible from a great distance.

Nobody is worried about being screened out.

Lu Yun withdrew his gaze, just about to say to Qin Yue, "We only have backs, not backgrounds."

Suddenly, a blur appeared before my eyes, and a gilded embroidered ball emerged.

Matching complete

[Heavenly Marriage has matched you with your second potential Daoist partner, Yingyue.]

[The host should establish a bond with their destined Daoist partner as soon as possible. The depth of this bond will determine the quality of the Heavenly Marriage Blessing.]

Please look forward to the next match.

"..."

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment.

Slowly raising his head, he looked towards the third floor of the Dharma Boat.

He swallowed.

That joke went a bit too far.

"grass."

He rarely swears, but this time he couldn't hold back.

What kind of people are being matched with?

"Couldn't you have given me something similar?" Lu Yun thought bitterly.

How could someone at the third level of Qi Refining establish a bond with a Foundation Establishment True Person?

The domineering Jurchen woman fell in love with me?

Let's think about things more realistically.

A man's knees are worth gold—now is the time to cash in.

As long as he backs down quickly enough, Master Yingyue shouldn't have to stab him.

Then I thought of Deng Wenyin.

……

"Lu Yun?"

A round face suddenly appeared right in front of me.

Lu Yun was startled and leaned back.

Shen Xuan.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yun frowned; he was already feeling irritable.

"Come here, I need to tell you something—"

"You can say it here."

He took a step back without making a sound, dodging the hand that was about to put its arm around his shoulder.

The two had a grudge, had arranged to fight, and had slapped each other in the face.

What's going on with them?

Shen Xuan's hand struck empty air, frozen in mid-air.

"I've thought about it."

Shen Xuan withdrew his hand, forcing a smile, "We are family after all."

He pulled Qin Yue over as well.

"Once you reach the Immortal Hall, you two will listen to me. When you return to Zixin City, I will guarantee that you will become honored guests of our Shen family, outside the clan, and live a life of great prestige."

Lu Yun looked at the other person in surprise.

At such a young age, he has mastered two amazing skills: getting something for nothing and making empty promises.

Qin Yue looked bewildered, not quite understanding, and turned to look at Lu Yun.

"What are you dreaming about?"

Shen He confronted her directly, launching into a tirade.

The Shen family's offerings?

To put it bluntly, even a fool at the third level of Qi Refining could pass for it.

They had little status, and the spiritual resources they received were mostly in gold and silver.

Only a direct descendant of a young master would think this is some kind of amazing way to win someone over.

Lu Yun calmly shook his head: "Young Master Shen, please ask someone else. I am not worthy of your presence."

"If Brother Lu doesn't agree, then I don't agree either," Qin Yue added.

Shen Xuan's face turned red.

Given his status, it's already quite magnanimous of him to swallow his pride and set aside old grudges to try and win him over.

The other party is ungrateful?

"Some people, who barely manage to get a seventh-rank official position by breaking off an engagement, become arrogant and ignorant."

He raised his voice, "You really think you can rely on women even after you've reached the celestial realm?"

Lu Yun ignored him.

How can you work with a boss who resorts to insults when he can't recruit people?

Shen Xuan became even more agitated, his voice spreading outwards: "I heard you even want to learn the 'Reversal of Heaven and Earth Steps'? You think you're worthy?"

There was no shortage of onlookers on the deck, and people immediately gathered around.

"What happened?"

"Whatever happened, let's have a spar!"

"Yes, let's hit one!"

The sounds of commotion rose and fell in waves.

Fighting was rampant on the Dharma Boat, and several battles had already taken place; they still hadn't had enough.

Especially since the other party was wearing a Buddhist robe and carrying a storage bag, with an arrogant and irritating look on their face.

They dared not resist, but instead tried to provoke others into becoming their pawns.

Shen Xuan couldn't afford to lose face in front of everyone.

He took a half step forward, slightly raising his chin: "Lu Yun, do you dare to fight me?"

"To make you realize the gap between you and the core disciples of the family."

He knew that Lu Yun had just broken through to the third level of Qi Refining.

He also made a breakthrough.

It was still more than 120 streams of true energy that broke through the barrier.

The foundation is quite solid.

They are not comparable to those mediocre people who hastily took drugs and relied on broken engagement spirit stones to get ahead.

Lu Yun wanted to refuse, but the people around him egged him on: "If you're scared, just admit defeat."

"Using the annulment compensation as a breakthrough, that's interesting."

When someone inquired about his engagement being broken off by the quasi-Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Immortal Academy, they couldn't help but laugh.

When they heard that he had been compensated with one hundred spirit stones and had spent a large number of spirit stones to break through, they were surprised.

And then I couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Shen He stomped her feet in anger: "What business is it of yours? Get out of here!"

Nobody moved.
