Chapter 59 Invitation
Feng Xuan looked at Shen Yao, his heart pounding with anxiety: 'Why isn't this girl saying anything? How's the tea? Is it good? Can you even tell what kind of tea it is? Tell me!'
The two looked at each other, and Xianyu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Mmm, delicious." He finished the teacup in one go, put it down, and began to drift off into his own thoughts without saying a word.
Seeing that the little fairy beside him remained silent, Feng Xuan was both anxious and puzzled: "What's wrong with these two girls? Why are they just drinking without tasting? Do they even understand tea?"
Shen Yao stopped looking at Feng Xuan and began to look around the tea room, admiring its decorations and layout.
This wall decoration is nice; it's simple and elegant in color and beautifully made.
This window is lovely; it's carved with late-blooming orchids and camellias, so lifelike...
Feng Xuan had never seen anything like this before. In the end, he couldn't hold back any longer. He tried to maintain a relaxed expression as he poured himself another cup of tea, picked up the cup with his well-defined, porcelain-white hands, and drank it casually, asking, "What does the fairy think of this tea?"
Shen Yao was more casual than him: "The tea is very good, fragrant, and delicious."
It's as casual as answering a question like "Have you eaten?" or "Yes."
Feng Xuan felt a lump in his throat: 'That's it? Just like that? No comment? No flattery?'
Feng Xuan laughed in exasperation. The last time he felt this frustrated was when he was with his older brother, Feng Yu.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming awkward, Shen Yao changed the subject: "Tomorrow I'd like to book a restaurant for the wedding banquet of my two newlywed companions' attendants. Does Xian Fan have any recommendations?"
Feng Xuan, still seething with anger, retorted sarcastically upon hearing this, "You're quite generous."
Shen Yao smiled and said confidently, "Xiao Xian has always been generous."
Feng Xuan choked, feeling even more frustrated: 'Do you think I'm praising you? Where did this clueless brat come from? Every word he says is completely off-topic.'
Shen Yao then asked him, "Does Xianfan have any recommendations? I'm new here and don't know the way. I really don't know which restaurant is good."
Feng Xuan asked, "Are your followers... all from the same clan?"
Shen Yao: "They are not from the same clan. I picked them up while traveling in Xianmu City."
Feng Xuan was quite surprised: "You're actually going to hold a wedding banquet for the followers you've gathered along the way?"
Shen Yao: "Although we are just followers, we are still friends. Friendships are not about length, and we should cherish the bond we have."
Feng Xuan looked at Shen Yao differently now. He thought that this Fairy Shen was either a fool or a direct descendant of a noble immortal clan.
'If it's the latter…' Feng Xuan thought of the family's ancestral precepts: if you leave home, you have no home; if you return home, you have a home…
"I've heard of some reclusive families in the world, whose lineages have endured for countless years. They possess the power to destroy the heavens and the earth with a flick of their wrists, and their dwellings are extremely mysterious, rumored to be in the outer heavens..."
'Could Fairy Shen be from beyond the heavens...?'
Let's take a look at Shen Xianzi's sister...
The extremely beautiful little fairy sat quietly to the side, not interrupting, not restrained, and not even glancing around.
He clearly received excellent upbringing from a prominent family.
Although both female immortals were dressed simply, even less so than the immortal servants of the Feng family…
But it's obvious they could afford it; they probably just found it novel while traveling and bought it for fun since they'd never worn dresses of this level before.
As for the four seventh and eighth-rank attendants who can be recruited at any time...
Feng Xuan asked, "Fairy Shen, you and your sister both have seventh-grade four spiritual roots. This world is complicated and full of dangers. Didn't your elders arrange high-ranking attendants for you?"
Thinking of the Purple Cloud Golden Beetles that were still not moving much in the Originium Space, Shen Suyao replied, "Our elders have arranged guards for us, but they rarely show themselves."
'Do they rarely show themselves?' Feng Xuan probed, 'When the fairies come to bathe, are their guards also nearby?'
Shen Yao: "Yes, it's nearby."
Feng Xuan was terrified. He had been sending out his spiritual senses, but he had never detected any guards!
Feng Xuan bit her lip, pondered for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "What level are the fairy's guards?"
Shen Yao thought to herself, 'What level is the sect leader? The sect leader is a god.'
But you definitely can't say that directly, it would scare the immortal to death.
Shen Yao thought for a moment: "I can't say too low, or people will look down on me; I can't say too high, or it will be outrageous."
"Furthermore, I also need to take this opportunity to attend the Feng family's treasure appraisal event and spread the word to prevent unscrupulous cultivators from stealing the treasure."
So she whispered back to him, "My guards are probably around third or fourth class."
Feng Xuan confirmed, "A guard, not an elder?"
Shen Yao: "They are guards."
Feng Xuan's pent-up anger had dissipated, but now his mind was a bit foggy: "Third or fourth rank... either an Immortal Ancestor or an Immortal Saint."
"Two seventh-rank fairies came out for training, and they actually have celestial ancestors and celestial saints as their guards... What kind of family is this... Even the Feng family doesn't have this kind of strength..."
"Don't even mention the Feng family. Even in the True God Sect of Emperor Immortal City, the daughter of Sect Master Jiang, Hall Master Jiang Qi, is a third-grade, eight-spiritual-root Immortal Ancestor. Who would dare to let him be their bodyguard? Who could possibly persuade an Immortal Ancestor to be their bodyguard?"
'They probably don't even want the soul core anymore, yet they dare to use the Immortal Ancestor as a guard...'
Feng Xuan is also a direct descendant of the Feng family. He has been carefully nurtured since childhood and knows when to end any topic.
This topic of the guards must not be asked any further.
Feng Xuan changed the subject: "Our Feng family has a restaurant at the intersection of West City Street. It is the largest restaurant in Qiwu City. If Fairy Shen wants to hold a wedding banquet for her entourage, she can go to the Feng family restaurant to take a look."
Shen Yao: "That's wonderful! If the Feng family's bathhouse is so well-built, their restaurant must be the best in Qiwu. I'll book it tonight!"
Feng Xuan took out a jade tablet with Feng Xuan's name engraved on it: "Take my recommendation and have the restaurant manager personally receive you."
Shen Yao put away the jade token: "Thank you, Immortal Fan!"
Feng Xuan took out another invitation and handed it to Shen Yao with both hands, which Shen Yao accepted with both hands.
Feng Xuan: "Fairy Shen, this is an appraisal event hosted by the Feng family. It will be held on the 29th of this month at the Feng family villa, which is next to the Feng family bathhouse. We would like to invite Fairy Shen to come and enjoy it."
This is exactly what Shen Yao wanted! Feng Xuan has really given Shen Suyao a great gift!
Shen Yao: "Don't worry, Fairy, I will definitely keep my promise with my sister."
“Alright.” Feng Xuan said, “I will send a servant to the East City Inn to meet you at that time.”
Shen Yao: "How did you know I was staying at the East City Inn?"
Feng Xuan smiled but remained silent, only pointing to the communication token at Shen Yao's waist.
Shen Yao suddenly realized: "Oh! So you own Dongcheng Accessories too!"
Feng Xuan: "It was opened by my wife. I'm just managing it for her."
Shen Yao: "These three communication tokens are all very good. My sister and I like them very much, especially this one, which features the sun and moon shining together, which suits my taste perfectly!"
As Shen Yao spoke, she took off her communication token and placed it on the table for Feng Xuan to see.
Feng Xuan raised an eyebrow. He had been standing beside his elder brother when his brother was carving this piece of "Sun and Moon Shining Together".
At the time, he both mocked and disliked this communication artifact, saying that the simultaneous appearance of the sun and moon was unlucky, and that if his brother were to sell such a carved pattern, it would never be sold.
Without saying a word, his elder brother glared at him and kicked him out, forbidding him from ever entering the carving studio again.
Unexpectedly, once this communication token was made, it was sent to the Dongcheng Accessories store and even bought by Fairy Shen...
Feng Xuan silently took out his communication token and exchanged tokens with Shen Yao. At this moment, Feng Xuan felt that Fairy Shen and her brother were a perfect match...
