107: Chapter 107 Lian Chiluo's Teasing

Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan, the two of them, left the sight of the Meng Family members and stealthily walked towards the mountain gate.

As soon as they reached the mountain gate, the two saw Hu Changqing standing at the Meng Family's mountain gate with a helpless expression.

Hu Changqing sighed heavily upon seeing the Meng brothers come out.

"Brother Meng, Second Brother Meng," Hu Changqing said with a bitter face, "My reason for seeking you out this time is because I am truly troubled. To be honest with you both, I fell in love with Miss Meng Qingwan at first sight. I originally planned to marry into the Meng Family so we could be together day and night, but who knew that kid from the Chen Family ruined everything."

The desolate look on Hu Changqing's face didn't seem faked. Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan exchanged a glance. If they hadn't seen you at the Red Boudoir Tower with women on both sides, they might have actually believed Hu Changqing was so deeply in love. At that time, you didn't have a shred of Miss Qingwan in your heart, so why put on such an act now?

Furthermore, Qingwan is now betrothed to Chen Jiancang. Chen Jiancang is a Disciple of the Upper Sect Chen Family. No matter how unwilling or unconvinced you are, it's useless now.

As a rogue cultivator, you must have the awareness of a rogue cultivator. You can only blame yourself for not being born into a good Family.

Seeing through it but not saying it. Meng Yunfan spoke up to comfort him. "Fellow Daoist Hu, matters of the heart cannot be forced. You shouldn't be too sad."

Hu Changqing waved his hand, "Never mind, never mind. Talking about this now is useless. It's just that I truly feel a connection with you two. Even if we cannot become Family, it would be good to be close friends in the future. I hope you two don't dislike me."

Meng Yunfan waved his hand and said, "Brother Hu, you exaggerate. After spending a few days together, my brother and I already consider you a close friend. How could there be talk of disliking you?"

"Brother Hu, may I ask why you sought us out?" Meng Yunfan asked, pretending ignorance.

Hu Changqing laughed heartily and said, "I invited the two of you here today because I have some good news to share with you. I have a relative who, like me, is a rogue cultivator. She has always wanted to attach herself to a cultivation Family to find a stable place, but she has the will but not the ability."

"Originally, after marrying into the Meng Family, I planned to introduce her to you two brothers as a concubine. However, things didn't go as planned, and now that things have developed to this point, I feel embarrassed to bring it up again. But my sister has been pleading with me, wanting to meet you two brothers in person to speak with you directly. I couldn't refuse, so I could only take the liberty of inviting you two brothers here. I hope you won't blame me."

As he was speaking, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Lian Chilu, with gentle lotus steps, slowly walked over. Today, she had changed into a plain gauze dress, thin as cicada wings, perfectly outlining her graceful figure. Her face was unadorned, yet it exuded a pure beauty that was captivatingly pitiful, completely different from her usual vibrant charm.

"Two gentlemen, I offer my greetings." Lian Chilu's voice was soft, like an oriole leaving a valley. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes shimmering with a hint of shyness and curiosity, timidly looking at Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan.

Meng Yunxuan felt his head buzz. His eyes widened, staring intently at Lian Chilu. Saliva was almost uncontrollably about to dribble from the corner of his mouth.

Meng Yunfan also couldn't help but hold his breath, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. His usual pretense of upright composure instantly vanished.

"Beautiful, too beautiful." Meng Yunfan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. How could such peerless beauty be compared to the common women of the Red Boudoir Tower?

"May I ask the young lady's name?" Meng Yunfan forced himself to restrain his burning gaze and asked.

"Gentlemen can call me Luo Luo."

Lian Chilu pretended to notice their gazes. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, unconsciously fiddling with the corner of her dress. She softly said, "I have been presumptuous. I hope the gentlemen won't blame me."

This fragile and pure appearance made the Meng brothers' hearts flutter even more.

Hu Changqing watched from the side, a barely perceptible cold smile playing on the corner of his mouth. He then immediately put on a warm demeanor: "Gentlemen, I have prepared some food and drinks not far away. When today's matter is concluded, I will also be taking my leave of Small Jade Mountain. I hope you two brothers won't refuse."

Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan couldn't care less about anything else. Their minds were filled with the beautiful figure of Lian Chilu. Without even thinking, they nodded in agreement.

The four of them walked along the winding mountain path. Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan occasionally stole glances at Lian Chilu, their steps somewhat unsteady.

The mountain path became more secluded, the surrounding trees denser. The low roars of unknown wild beasts could be faintly heard, but the Meng brothers, immersed in beauty, were completely unaware that danger was approaching step by step.

As they walked, an ancient small pavilion appeared ahead. The stone table in the pavilion was filled with delicacies and fine wine.

Hu Changqing warmly led Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan into the pavilion to sit. Lian Chilu, like a weak willow swaying in the wind, gently sat between Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan. In an instant, a light, elegant fragrance lingered at Meng Yunfan's nose, making their hearts flutter even more.

Hu Changqing raised his wine cup, stood up, and said loudly, "Brother Meng, Second Brother Meng, this meal today is, firstly, to thank you two for your care during this period. Secondly, it can also be considered a farewell meal for me. Thirdly, it is to entrust you two with taking care of Luo Luo for me. I will drink first as a sign of respect." Having said that, Hu Changqing drained his cup.

Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan quickly raised their cups in return, but their gazes occasionally drifted towards Lian Chilu.

After three rounds of drinks, Lian Chilu lightly parted her red lips: "I have heard that both gentlemen are young talents in the Meng Family with extraordinary cultivation. I am just a woman with no means to support myself. I wonder which of the two gentlemen is willing to take me in? I have no other requests, only hoping to receive the gentleman's pity and be granted the position of a concubine." Lian Chilu's voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yunxuan immediately became energetic. He stood up and patted his chest, saying, "Miss Luo Luo, how can you belittle yourself so? I am willing to marry you as my wife and cultivate the Great Dao of Longevity together."

Hearing this, Meng Yunfan's expression turned anxious, and he quickly stood up: "This is improper, improper. How can Second Brother be so impolite?"

As Meng Yunfan spoke, he turned to look at Lian Chilu, his eyes filled with eagerness and sincerity: "Miss Luo Luo, Second Brother is young and impetuous, and his words are thoughtless. As the eldest son of the Meng Family, I, Meng Yunfan, can provide the young lady with a more stable reliance, whether in terms of cultivation or responsibility. If the young lady doesn't mind, I am willing to marry you into the Family with the rites of a main wife." As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Meng Yunxuan, as if declaring his ownership.

Meng Yunxuan was unwilling to show weakness. He took a step forward, blocking the space between Meng Yunfan and Lian Chilu: "Big Brother, don't compete with me! Miss Luo Luo is like a celestial being. Only I truly care for her. You are just coveting her beauty." The two brothers argued back and forth, refusing to yield, their faces flushed red, completely ignoring Hu Changqing who was secretly sneering from the side.

Lian Chilu lightly covered her mouth and chuckled, a hint of triumph flashing in her eyes. Yet, she pretended to be flustered and stood up: "Gentlemen, please don't harm your harmony because of me. I am truly frightened." Saying this, she moved with gentle lotus steps to Hu Changqing's side, and then as if watching a play, she watched the two men gradually start their dispute.
