Could He Really Have the Bearing of a Heavenly Immortal

?

Yang Lingrui recalled the situation at that time, while Zhu Xuan beside him also carefully sized up his features.

"This young friend's true appearance is indeed far more outstanding than the portrait. Although the painting captured his looks, it could not reproduce this ethereal and pristine temperament. No wonder Miss Hua took a liking to him."

Zhu Xuan thought to himself.

Seeing a look of understanding dawn in Yang Lingrui's eyes, he smiled and said, "Has my young friend remembered?"

Yang Lingrui pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "There was indeed such an incident. Did this young lady of the Feng Family buy a Talisman at the market?"

"Exactly. It seems I haven't found the wrong person. Young friend, come with me, please."

"Then I will trouble Senior to lead the way."

Following behind Zhu Xuan, Yang Lingrui began to turn things over in his mind.

He did not know what stance this Feng Family held. If they stood on the side of the Wangchao like the He Family, that would be a good thing. He could even directly reveal his identity, and perhaps they could even cooperate within the Mayfly Treasure Ground.

If they were like the Su Family, that would also be acceptable.

He carried that letter of recommendation from the He Family. For a neutral family wanting to play both sides and offend no one, seeing this item meant they would not make things too difficult for him.

His only fear was that the Feng Family belonged to the Sect faction. If so, he absolutely could not expose his identity and would have to act out this play to the very end.

In the short span of a dozen breaths, as they arrived before the Feng Family's temporary quarters, Yang Lingrui had already devised three different strategies for various situations.

"Miss Yue, Miss Hua, the person has been brought."

Zhu Xuan called out through the door.

Standing behind him, Yang Lingrui slightly raised his gaze and saw that three feet above the roof of the Feng Family's quarters,

a black-robed cultivator sat cross-legged with eyes closed in mid-air. True Essence circulated around his body as spiritual light flickered. Just by looking at him, Yang Lingrui felt an invisible pressure weigh upon his heart.

This was the oppressive weight of a Condensed Origin cultivator!

"As expected of a noble clan's scions. To have such a high-level cultivator serving as an escort while exploring outside is truly enviable."

Yang Lingrui thought to himself, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists within his sleeves.

In the future, when he also achieved Condensed Origin, the younger generation of the Yang Family would be able to receive such protection as well.

Inside the Feng Family's quarters.

"Sister, that person is truly exceptionally handsome!"

Feng Linghua said in a melodious voice.

She was the female cultivator who had been in line in front of Yang Lingrui that day, but her current appearance was vastly different from the ordinary woman she had portrayed.

In the room, Feng Linghua wore a light pink silk dress. Her figure was slender and curvaceous, her steps light and graceful.

Her entire being exuded a lively and vibrant spiritual aura.

The main reason Yang Lingrui had no deep impression of her was that she had been in disguise when she sneaked out that day.

And the person she was speaking to, the cold and aloof female cultivator seated in the center of the room, was her elder sister, Feng Lingyue.

Feng Lingyue was at the sixth level of Qi Gathering, while Feng Linghua was at the fourth level of Qi Gathering.

They were biological sisters, five years apart in age, and shared a sixty to seventy percent resemblance in appearance.

However, Feng Lingyue's temperament was entirely different from the lively and active Feng Linghua. She belonged to the extremely cold and aloof type.

Her attire from head to toe was entirely a plain white, and her face was as cold as frost, giving off the feeling of a distant, cold moon hanging high in the sky.

Feng Lingyue raised an eyebrow slightly. Seeing her younger sister pacing in circles around her, a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes.

"Alright, alright, I know. I've already sent Zhu Xuan to invite him."

She said this to Feng Linghua, but she had other plans in her heart.

Due to the Feng Family's rules, one could not leave home until reaching the mid-stage of Qi Gathering. Therefore, the farthest place her sister had ever been on ordinary days was the Tingxue Mountain Villa outside Qiulu City.

Just a few days ago, she had finally achieved success in her cultivation, reaching the mid-stage of the fourth level of Qi Gathering and meeting the threshold to leave home.

Thus, this trip was Feng Linghua's first long journey. Along the way, she was curious about everything and delighted by everything, constantly pestering her sister for this and that.

Ordinary items and Spiritual Treasures were easy enough to handle-it was just a matter of spending a little money. Since it was her sister's first time traveling, she did not want to spoil the mood and bought whatever caught her eye.

The Feng Family was a massive enterprise and did not lack this bit of Spirit Crystals.

But just a few days ago, Feng Linghua had disguised herself and sneaked out to the market alone.

After returning, she had begun to act absent-minded and distracted.

Feng Lingyue noticed the anomaly and asked for the reason, only for Feng Linghua to actually say she had met someone she fancied at the market!

This news directly caused Feng Lingyue's mind to crash.

Oh, my good sister!

It doesn't matter if you like this or that-the family has plenty of Spirit Crystals, and your sister will buy it for you!

But how did a single sneaky outing end up with your heart being snatched away!

Feng Lingyue was incredibly helpless. In her eyes, her sister had simply been cooped up at home for too long, gone out too little, and lacked the experience to judge people properly.

This time, she must have encountered a male cultivator with some unique traits, found it novel and interesting for a moment, and was drawn in.

"Those young masters from the noble families in Qiulu City-every one of them is handsome and distinguished. You've seen them all, sister. In such a remote place, could you really run into someone with the bearing of a heavenly immortal?"

Regardless, Feng Lingyue did not believe such a thing could happen.

Moreover, according to her sister, that person was bartering goods at the market.

If he didn't even have the Spirit Crystals to buy a Talisman, that ruled out any background from a wealthy or prominent clan.

She absolutely could not let her sister harbor too many lingering thoughts about this person!

Feng Lingyue made this calculation in her heart, but she also deeply understood the logic that whoever tied the bell to the tiger must be the one to untie it.

Especially when it came to matters of emotion, forcing things would only backfire.

The best approach was to bring this person here and shatter that 'first-impression filter' right in front of her sister's face. Only then could she thoroughly put an end to this matter from the root.

Just as Feng Lingyue was pondering this, she heard Zhu Xuan's voice from outside the door.

Upon hearing it, Feng Linghua instantly grew a bit nervous, a hint of apprehension in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Feng Lingyue felt even more speechless.

Sister, do you even know your own background?

If you want a man, what kind can the family not find for you?

"Sit properly, and don't look so completely useless!"

She scolded lightly, then reverted to her cold tone: "Alright. Thank you for your trouble, Guard Zhu. Let him in."

"Young friend, please."

Outside the door, Yang Lingrui took a deep breath, fully prepared himself mentally, and then pushed the door open to step inside.

The door had only opened halfway. Before even seeing him, Feng Lingyue had already perceived a great deal of information from Yang Lingrui's person.

"Fifth level of Qi Gathering. His cultivation realm is barely passable."

"His internal breath is steady, meaning he cultivates an orthodox method. Acceptable."

"No spiritual resonance around his body. Consistent with my earlier guess, I can confirm this person does not hail from a prominent background like a Sect or a noble family."

Up to this point, Feng Lingyue felt greatly reassured. She was ninety-nine percent certain she could erase the impression this person had left in her sister's heart.

However, when Yang Lingrui pushed the door fully open and Feng Lingyue saw his face with her own eyes, her mind short-circuited all over again.

She stared blankly at Yang Lingrui, her eyes brimming with shock and disbelief.

"Are my eyes deceiving me? This... can I truly run into such a rare occurrence!?"

With just one glance, even she was stunned by Yang Lingrui's appearance.

All the words she had prepared beforehand caught in her throat, leaving her frozen on the spot for a moment.

"Hmm?"

Yang Lingrui took two steps forward, just about to raise his hands in a formal greeting, but sensed that these two Feng Family young ladies were acting a bit strangely.

The slightly younger one on the right had a slightly flushed face and kept her head lowered, yet she constantly stole glances at him.

The one on the left was even more exaggerated, staring blankly straight at him without moving an inch.

"Hiss-what is going on here? Why isn't this like the scenario I anticipated?"

This situation left Yang Lingrui somewhat at a loss, making it difficult for him to determine their stance for the moment.

However, he was someone who had seen a bit of the world. He quickly adjusted his state, raised his hands respectfully, and said, "Lin Yu of Liuye, greets the two young ladies."
