Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 710 A Farce

The plane is about to land. “Uncle Lu, you had better not talk too much after we arrive at Shan City,” after thinking about it, Xie Zhuolian turns around and says to the middle-aged man next to her.

The middle-aged man nods with a smile and says, “Your Ladyship, please rest assured. I know it well.”

Then, Xie Zhuolian heaves a long sigh, her face clouded with worry.

The middle-aged man ponders for a while and says, “Actually, Your Ladyship, don’t worry too much. It’s a good thing for Gao Ge. After all, there are so many cultivators hoping to join our family in the whole Huaxia.”

“That being said,” Xie Zhuolian shakes her head and insists, “Uncle Lu, you haven’t dealt with Gao Ge before. Hence, you don’t know him. You are right. In Huaxia, a lot of people want to join the Xie Family but likewise, many people want to rope Gao Ge in too. However, by now, do you think they make it?”

Uncle Lu nods his head and also feels that what Xie Zhuolian has said is reasonable.

The Xie Family wants to rope Gao Ge in. The other blessed spots and cultivation schools must aim to do so too.

“Gao Ge always has a mind of his own and he doesn’t like being constrained. In many people’s eyes, it is an impulsive act that Gao Ge quit the Dragon Court but I think he is unwilling to stay in the Dragon Court partially because he was too much constrained in the Dragon Court. Being constrained is probably the last thing he likes,” Xie Zhuolian continues saying.

Uncle Lu thinks about it and stays silent.

Many people indeed want to join the blessed spots like the Xie Family but there are also lots of people wishing to enter the Dragon Court. Besides, obviously, more cultivators want to enter the Dragon Court. However, Gao Ge still quit the Dragon Court. God knows why he did that. Therefore, what Xie Zhuolian said is kind of a reminder for Uncle Lu. Gao Ge’s thoughts can never be conjectured in an ordinary way!

This is rather important. After all, they come to Shan City to convince Gao Ge to join the Xie Family rather than offend him.

However, when they get off the plane, Xie Zhuolian finds that Gao Ge’s phone should be powered off.

Xie Zhuolian feels a headache.

“Let’s go to the hotel first,” Xie Zhuolian turns around and says to Uncle Lu.

Uncle Lu nods his head and asks with worry, “Did Gao Ge turn off his phone and avoid us because he knew why we came to Shan City?”

Actually, at the beginning, Xie Zhuolian also thought of this possibility but on second thought, she shakes her head and finds it unlikely.

“If it were really the case, he would turn us down face to face rather than turn off his phone,” Xie Zhuolian says smilingly.

Uncle Lu shakes his head and says with a bitter smile, “Your Ladyship, some words cannot be uttered face to face! Maybe he simply finds it hard to say the words so he chooses to decline us in this way.”

Xie Zhuolian shakes her head with determination and says with firm eyes, “He is not that kind of man!”

Xie Zhuolian’s reply makes Uncle Lu lost for words.

He is a bit curious about why Xie Zhuolian has the confidence.

Having arrived at the hotel, they ask the receptionist about Gao Ge’s room number and learn that he is only away for some days instead of checking out. They are both relieved. It happens that Susu dressed in a suit of black office wear turns around and sees them.

“You are looking for Gao Ge?”

Xie Zhuolian is taken aback and then nods her head.

Susu says with a smile, “May I have your name?”

“You can call me Miss Xie.”

“You must be Xie Zhuolian then,” Susu says smilingly, “Before leaving, Gao Ge left a message for you. As per his request, if you come here, I should tell you that he has gone to Song City. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay here until he comes back.”

Xie Zhuolian is a bit surprised, “He has gone to Song City?”

“Yes.”

“Why did he go to Song City?” Xie Zhuolian feels somewhat confused.

Susu puckers her lips and yet refuses to answer.

After all, this is Gao Ge’s own business but not hers. Although it doesn’t involve Gao Ge’s privacy and quite some people know about it, she still doesn’t want to talk too much while Gao Ge is not here.

“Forget it. In this case, I will go to Song City to find him,” Xie Zhuolian sighs and says.

Susu is a bit shocked. She asks confusedly, “Miss Xie, are you looking for Gao Ge for any urgent purpose?”

“Well… It’s not urgent actually. After all, I’m here for him. Since he is in Song City, I’ll go over and take a look,” Xie Zhuolian says with a smile, “Thank you anyway.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Seeing Xie Zhuolian leave with Mr. Lu, Susu gives a bigger smile.

Touching her chin, she mutters, “Going to Song City is the best decision!”

However, it remains unknown whether she is talking about Gao Ge or Xie Zhuolian…

…

In Song City.

Wu Li and Wu Jinxiu are standing next to Wu You.

Apart from that, several servants of the Wu Family are carrying a few loads covered with red cloth.

Xia Mu and Xia Shengtang are standing before them.

“Uncle Xia, I, Wu You, am here to propose marriage!” Wu You, wearing a white gown, tall and hefty, looks quite good.

“Okay, okay…” Xia Mu doesn’t know what to say now. He subconsciously turns his head and looks at Xia Shengtang. Yet, the latter just stares at Wu Jinxiu with a straight face, his eyes quite complicated.

Wu Jinxiu seems to have known what Xia Shengtang wants to say so she directly takes two steps forward.

“Mr. Xia, I’m also here to apologize to Xia Lu,” Wu Jinxiu says with a grin. She looks somewhat innocent. Actually, her appearance is fine. When she smiles, she does look like a beauty. Besides, as a saying goes, you shall not slap a person in the face when he is smiling at you. Given her attitude, supposedly, the Xia Family won’t pursue the reckless act she did yesterday. Moreover, there are so many people here, many of whom are the friends of Xia Mu over the past years. Yet, these people are only a joke to the Wu Family.

“You are being too serious. It was an insignificant farce. Why do you take it so seriously?” Xia Mu hastens to say.

Since she gives him an out, he should just take it.

He still believes that the Wu Family’s thought is right. As to this joint marriage, the Wu Family is really too good for the Xia Family.

Hence, it is understandable that the people of the Wu Family are a bit bad-tempered.

“An insignificant farce? I don’t think so,” Wu You suddenly says in a deep voice, “A man must be punished for his mistake. Since Jinxiu made a mistake, of course she should be punished.”

Wu Jinxiu stays composed and seems to have guessed what Wu You would say.
