CHAPTER 358: Two Years of Haste
“Friend Qingyang, rest assured. Oriole Song and Yan Dance have grown up in the Wei Family and have been well-trained.”
“They have maintained their purity and are absolutely clean.”
“They are also proficient in various skills, whether it be playing the guqin, chess, calligraphy, or painting.”
“Moreover, they can sing and dance most of the songs and dances from the Nine Nations Alliance, definitely sure to satisfy you!”
Wei Guangzheng introduced enthusiastically, seemingly hinting at something.
In the midst of his speech, he subtly wiped his face and realized he was sweating quite a bit.
“Oh?”
“Not bad, not bad.”
Liu Yu slightly nodded, his gaze falling on the two female cultivators named Oriole Song and Yan Dance, examining them with great interest.
“The one in the purple dress is Yan Dance, and the one in the red robe is Oriole Song.”
Wei Guangzheng's voice came, explaining from the side.
Oriole Song and Yan Dance were both around twenty years old, with cultivation at the third layer of qi refinement.
At this age, still in the early stage of qi refinement, it was likely that their spiritual roots weren't very good, mostly probably having false spiritual root qualities; otherwise, Wei Guangzheng wouldn’t have been willing to give them away so easily.
“Alright, you two will be Liu's maidservants from now on.”
“Alright, you may leave now.”
After observing for a while, Liu Yu announced, waving his hand for the two girls to exit.
He casually instructed a disciple to take the two girls to the cave dwelling where he was temporarily residing to wait.
“Yes, Senior Qingyang,”
Oriole Song and Yan Dance replied in unison.
Feeling an unabashed gaze scanning their bodies, the two girls were slightly embarrassed, facing so many foundation establishment cultivators, the pressure was not small.
Their faces flushed with a hint of redness, they quickly performed a proper bow and followed the disciple out.
“Hehe.”
Cui Liang and Yan Kai exchanged glances, revealing smiles typical of male cultivators.
Although the two sometimes disagreed, when out in the world, they could communicate more freely as fellow sect members, so their private relations were fairly good.
On the other side, Jiang Qiushui bit her red lip slightly, jealousy brewing in her heart, her mood clearly a bit low.
However, she was still sensible enough to understand that her senior brother accepted the two maidservants to maintain the stability of the team, so she did not explode in anger.
After downing a couple of cups of spiritual wine, she found an excuse and returned to her cave dwelling.
Liu Yu noticed Jiang Qiushui's movement but did not show it. He planned to find a time to comfort her later.
After finalizing discussions with two foundation establishment families, the banquet was coming to an end.
The spiritual melons and fruits on the table had already been mostly eaten, leaving only remnants, and the participating cultivators were all full.
The cultivators who had just joined and were a bit anxious calmed down after understanding Liu Yu's attitude and the Yuan Yang Sect's stance.
Seeing the time was about right and there was official business to attend to, Liu Yu took his leave from the venue.
He began to summon various qi refinement level forces at the newly built conference hall on Phoenix Mountain.
Half an hour passed, and this summons went exceptionally smoothly.
The representatives of the summoned forces were already mentally prepared, and under the trend of the times, they naturally agreed to all conditions.
Liu Yu's demands were not excessive; following the list provided by Jiang Qiushui, he tightened his grip on the size.
This caused these forces to bleed a little without severely harming their ability to survive.
Once the team generally controlled the situation in the region, there were not many major changes to the local rules, only slight adjustments in details, which was one reason to reassure the various forces.
In this way, it was as if they had merely changed the “emperor” above their heads.
