153: Li Xiu, the young master of the Li family

Lu Yi's words plunged the scene into a deathly silence.

Even the wind seemed to have stalled in embarrassment.

Standing opposite him was Nanny Gui, an old woman who had lived for more than half a lifetime and prided herself on being well-experienced.

At this moment, the corners of her mouth were twitching wildly and uncontrollably.

The expression on her face was a colorful display, shifting from red to white, as if she had swallowed a fly whole and could neither swallow it down nor spit it out.

She never dreamed that this Saint Son of Taichu could say such vulgar words in public, and do it so refreshingly, refinedly, and with such righteous confidence!

"You... you all..."

Nanny Gui pointed at Lu Yi, her finger trembling.

As for the person involved, Shen Yueyao, her earlobes were so red they were about to drip blood. She was so ashamed that she wished she could dig out a Saintess Hall on the ground with her toes.

However, there was no turning back now.

Since Lu Yi had already acted out the scene to this extent, in order to keep up the lie, Shen Yueyao steeled her heart and buried her face directly into Lu Yi's shoulder.

Then, using a voice as thin as a mosquito's, yet clear enough for the few people present to hear, she shyly chimed in:

"Mm... although Senior Brother is a bit naughty... and has a few too many tricks... it... it really does have a unique flavor..."

"Hoo... hoo..."

Nanny Gui took several deep breaths in a row before she could barely suppress the impulse in her heart.

Her gaze towards Shen Yueyao changed.

"Good... very good."

Nanny Gui spoke coldly, her voice filled with bone-chilling coldness and disdain:

"I didn't expect that after Young Miss went to the Lower Realm, she didn't learn anything good, but instead learned these... licentious tricks. However..."

Nanny Gui changed the subject:

"As long as your virginity remains intact and the vermilion mark is still there, these... are all trivial matters."

She raised her head, speaking shocking words:

"Even if Young Miss plays around as much as she wants outside and has many tricks, as long as your body is not broken, that marriage partner... he will not mind!"

"Huh?!"

Now it was Lu Yi's turn to be shocked.

He widened his eyes and looked at Nanny Gui in disbelief.

"He doesn't even mind this? This guy has a really big heart, huh? His head is glowing green, and he can still tolerate it?"

Lu Yi couldn't help but retort:

"This is too 'cuckolded,' isn't it? Who exactly is this sacred figure? Could he have cultivated some legendary 'Great Dao of the Sacred Turtle'?"

Facing Lu Yi's ridicule, although Nanny Gui didn't understand the specific slang, she could hear the mocking tone in his words.

She wasn't angry, just looked at Lu Yi with a complex expression and sneered:

"It's not that he has a big heart, but that the situation forces his hand. Do you know who the target of this marriage alliance is?"

Without waiting for Lu Yi to answer, she explained on her own, her tone carrying a bit of sighing, but more snobbery:

"That is the Young Master of the Li Family from the Upper Realm, named Li Xiu. If it were three years ago..."

A flash of awe crossed Nanny Gui's eyes:

"He was peerlessly talented, a stunning Genius; he was a true Dragon from the heavens, suppressing an entire generation of Prodigies! Back then, let alone the Shen Family, even if those top Holy Lands begged to marry their Saintess to him, he might not have agreed."

Speaking of this, the corners of Nanny Gui's mouth curled into a mocking arc:

"What a pity... Heaven is jealous of talent. Three years ago, he suddenly suffered a mishap. Overnight, his Meridians were severed, his Dantian shattered, and his cultivation regressed!"

"From a high and mighty peerless Genius, he fell into a piece of Trash who could not Cultivate! Now his status in the Li Family has plummeted, and he suffers from cold eyes and ridicule."

Nanny Gui looked at the pale Shen Yueyao and said coldly:

"At this time, being able to marry the Young Miss of my Shen Family is already climbing high for him. As long as the marriage alliance is successful, even if Young Miss has some 'little hobbies,' where would he have the qualifications to refuse or be picky?"

"..."

Listening to this extremely familiar description, Lu Yi's eyes grew brighter the more he heard.

By the end, they were like two large light bulbs, emitting an excited glow.

"Holy crap?!"

Lu Yi retorted crazily in his heart, so excited he almost slapped his thigh:

"Young Master of the Li Family? A Genius three years ago? Suddenly became a piece of Trash? Suffered cold eyes? Isn't this the standard 'Trashy Engagement-Breaking' protagonist template?! This is it!"

Lu Yi was overjoyed:

"No wonder the tasks given by the System are segmented; the real target is right here!"

Compared to Lu Yi's excitement.

When Shen Yueyao heard the name "Young Master of the Li Family," her face instantly turned even paler, devoid of any blood.

After all, the Li Family is a cultivation Family of the Upper Realm, with a foundation far exceeding that of the Shen Family.

The Shen Family wants to take advantage of the Young Master of the Li Family's downfall to make a "political investment" through the marriage alliance, or perhaps to cling to that sliver of a thin relationship.

"This is simply pushing me into a pit of fire..."

Shen Yueyao knew the cold-bloodedness of her Family well. For the sake of profit, those clan elders would absolutely not care about her happiness. Even if the other party was a useless person, as long as his surname was Li, it would suffice.

"I won't marry!!"

Shen Yueyao suddenly raised her head, her voice trembling but resolute:

"Even if it is the Li Family..."

Before Shen Yueyao could finish speaking.

A warm, large hand suddenly reached over and stopped her.

Lu Yi put away his previous playful, grinning appearance. He switched to a serious, solemn expression, carrying a bit of unquestionable dominance.

He looked at Nanny Gui and said indifferently:

"Alright, enough nonsense. Since the Shen Family is so anxious to marry off their daughter, then go back."

"What?!"

Shen Yueyao turned her head in astonishment, looking at Lu Yi, her eyes full of disbelief.

She thought Lu Yi had been scared off by the Li Family's reputation and was going to abandon her.

However, Lu Yi continued immediately:

"However..."

He stepped forward, stood beside Shen Yueyao, and stared directly into Nanny Gui's turbid eyes:

"Since I am Yueyao's 'current Dao Companion,' how can I be missing from such a big occasion as meeting the parents? I will also go to the Upper Realm with you!"

"What?"

Nanny Gui frowned tightly and subconsciously refused:

"You? This is my Shen Family's private affair. You, an outsider..."

"An outsider?"

Lu Yi sneered.

"What? Are you afraid I'll go and snatch the bride? Or are you afraid that the Li Family's trashy Young Lord will see me, the 'current' one, and feel ashamed to the point of dying of shame?"

Lu Yi's tone was tough and unquestionable:

"I'll put it this way: Yueyao can go back with you, but I must accompany her!"

"Otherwise..."

Lu Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"As long as I don't nod, you won't be able to take her away today! My Primordial Holy Land is not to be bullied either!"

"You..."

Nanny Gui's face was livid.

She was weighing the options. After all, this was the Primordial Holy Land, and if she actually started a fight, she wouldn't get any advantage.

Although it was just a Sect in the Lower Realm, through these days of investigation, they discovered that this Primordial Holy Land was actually not simple at all.

While Nanny Gui was hesitating and weighing the options.

Lu Yi turned his head and looked at Shen Yueyao, who was still stunned and looking moved.

In his eyes, a glimmer of excitement belonging to a hunter flashed, which only he understood.

Lu Yi's lips curled up, revealing a signature mischievous smile, and he said to the worried-looking Shen Yueyao:

"Rest assured, I am quite interested in that Young Master of the Li Family!"
