Ultimate: Fishing Through the Heavens, Starting with Five Enlightenment Templates

"Hongsheng Group and our Lan family have cooperated in many fields, so we are a good match!"

"Mom has made arrangements. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, at the Cloud Cafe, you'll go meet them and have a good chat."

Upon hearing this, Lan Tianyu stopped picking up food, speechless.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at his mother. "Mom, I have a girlfriend. You don't need to arrange blind dates for me."

"You little rascal, you actually got a girlfriend without anyone telling you."

Mother Lan was stunned for a moment, then a bright smile spread across her face.

"Is my daughter-in-law pretty? How many people are in her family? Where do they live? What does she do for a living?"

Are you checking household registration information?

Lan Tianyu looked helpless, but still explained Tian Xin's situation in detail.

Upon hearing that their daughter-in-law was a teacher at a private high school, the two elders did not react much; instead, they smiled broadly.

Given the current size of the Lan Group, there is no need for marriage alliances or anything like that.

Therefore, the two elders did not care about Tian Xin's background.

I will support my son unconditionally as long as he chooses something.

However, before Wei Qingxia's joy had subsided, she remembered something and a troubled expression appeared on her face.

"Tianyu, it's a good thing you have a girlfriend."

"But this blind date was arranged by my mother through an old friend, and Hongsheng Group was very sincere."

“If you suddenly say you’re not going, it’ll be hard to explain to Mom, and it will also make our Lan family seem like we’re untrustworthy.”

"How about this, you go and show up? Explain to the girl that you already have a girlfriend and apologize?"

"This way, we won't offend either side, and it also shows that we are polite."

Lan Tianyu frowned slightly; he understood his mother's concerns.

But sending him on a blind date, even if it's just a formality, is disrespectful to Tian Xin.

"Mom, this is not appropriate."

Lan Tianyu tried to refuse.

"Oh, it's just about having a cup of coffee and getting things cleared up!"

Mother Lan insisted, her tone both soft and firm.

"Just consider it helping Mom out, to smooth things over."

"Otherwise, where will Mom put her old face? How will she associate with her old friends in the future?"

"Just this once, it won't happen next time!"

"Please, I'm begging you, is that alright?"

Although Lan Wenhua didn't say anything, he nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with his wife's decision.

Looking at his mother's earnest yet pleading eyes, and then at his father's tacit approval, Lan Tianyu sighed helplessly.

He knew that if he didn't agree today, his mother would keep nagging him.

"Okay, I'll show up tomorrow."

Lan Tianyu finally gave in, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"That's right, my son is so sensible!"

Wei Qingxia immediately beamed and praised him repeatedly.

The second half of the conversation revolved around Tian Xin and Mingtian's blind date.

Lan Tianyu felt somewhat helpless.

But seeing how happy my parents were...

Especially when his mother was genuinely happy to hear that he had a girlfriend, the slight helplessness she felt dissipated considerably.

Just thinking about having to go on a pointless blind date tomorrow made him rub his temples.

Hopefully, that Miss Wang is a reasonable person.

After finishing his meal, Lan Tianyu teleported back to Tian Xin's apartment.

However, he didn't know whether he should tell her or not about the blind date he was going to tomorrow.

Lan Tianyu pondered for a while, and then made a decision.

"Since there's no going back anyway, it's better to keep this to ourselves..."

He opened the door, walked through the entryway into the living room, and found Tian Xin sleeping on the sofa.

A trace of tears remained at the corner of her eye, clearly indicating that she had been crying.

Lan Tianyu sighed. He knew without guessing that it was because he missed his younger brother.

He walked to the sofa, gently picked up Tian Xin and carried her into the bedroom, placing her on the large bed.

Then, he sat cross-legged with his palms facing upwards.

He activated his family's internal energy cultivation technique and began to enter a state of cultivation.

……

The next day.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the gaps in the curtains in the early morning, Lan Tianyu awoke from his meditative state.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the surging internal energy within his body, and glanced at the attribute panel.

【Combat Power Index: 22950】

[Luck: 52.56%]

Overnight, the combat power index increased by 160 points.

The luck has accumulated more than halfway, and it will most likely be full the day after tomorrow.

Of course, if you increase your favorability in the next couple of days, this time will be shortened.

Lan Tianyu turned to look at his side. Tian Xin was still sleeping soundly, her cheeks rosy and her breathing even and long.

Clearly, the emotional turmoil last night made her sleep exceptionally soundly.

Thinking about his blind date today, Lan Tianyu rubbed his temples helplessly.

Although he was reluctant, he got up, washed up carefully, and changed into a well-tailored casual suit.

The man in the mirror was at least 1.85 meters tall, with an upright posture, handsome face, and a calm demeanor that carried a hint of unapproachability.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth in front of the mirror, as if practicing a polite smile, and then quietly left the apartment.

P.S.: My new book is launching, and I'd appreciate some flowers and review votes. However, I haven't received many after waiting a long time, so I've implemented an extra chapter rule: 500 flowers = 1 extra chapter, 50 review votes = 1 extra chapter, and 10 monthly votes = 1 extra chapter. I hope everyone will give me some encouragement.

【044】Mary the Beauty Connoisseur! (Bonus Chapter for 20 Monthly Tickets)

There were still five minutes to go before the agreed time of nine o'clock.

Lan Tianyu's figure appeared at the entrance of the Cloud Cafe.

Push open the heavy glass door.

The melodious sound of a piano and the rich aroma of coffee wafted over.

Lan Tianyu glanced around and instantly found his blind date among dozens of people.

She was a woman who could make the surrounding environment pale in comparison.

She sat there alone, graceful, like a white swan resting in the sunlight.

A simple yet figure-hugging black slip dress accentuates her curves, highlighting her perfect shoulder and neck lines and slender waist.

A delicate white shawl is casually draped over the shoulders, adding a touch of femininity.

Below her slender ankles were a pair of black stilettos, which made her figure appear even taller and more graceful.

Her features were exquisitely perfect, and her makeup perfectly accentuated her striking beauty.

Unlike Tian Xin's sweet and charming appearance, the woman in front of you exudes an aggressive and alluring charm.

His eyes, as if carrying tiny hooks, flickered across the surface.

"I have a feeling I've seen this woman before..."

Lan Tianyu frowned slightly, and distant memories began to surface.

He quickly remembered who the woman was.

Wang Mali!

Ten years later, the charming proprietress of the Guava High School Welfare Center.

But at this moment, she is younger and more radiant.

Just as Lan Tianyu looked at her, Wang Mali seemed to sense something and raised her head.

Their eyes met in the air.

A fleeting, almost imperceptible scrutiny crossed Wang Mali's alluring peach blossom eyes, which quickly transformed into approval and satisfaction.

She clearly recognized Lan Tianyu as well, her bright red lips curving into a perfectly symmetrical smile as she nodded slightly to him in greeting.

【Ding! 】

[The host has come into contact with Wang Mali, the protagonist of this world, and is currently collecting her fortune...]

[Wang Mali's favorability towards the host: Low, collection efficiency +50%!]

Lan Tianyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing the system notification.

I felt a certain liking for her from the first meeting. Could this young lady be a sucker for good looks?

Otherwise, it would be hard to justify.

Lan Tianyu composed himself and walked over.

He pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Wang Mali with unhurried movements.

"Hello, Miss Wang."

"This is Lan Tianyu. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

His voice was deep and pleasant, with basic politeness.

"Mr. Lan, you're too kind. I just arrived recently."

Wang Mali's voice had a touch of lazy magnetism, and her smile was bright.

"Moreover, waiting for a gentleman worth waiting for is not a waste of time."

Her words were direct yet provocative, and her gaze lingered unabashedly on Lan Tianyu's face.

The photos don't look much different from the real person; in fact, the person is even more attractive.

No wonder he was the man she set her sights on at first sight.

Seeing this, Lan Tianyu was pretty sure that this woman was obsessed with looks.

He planned to get straight to the point, stating that he had a girlfriend, and then politely take his leave.

But at this moment, looking at Wang Mali's alluring peach blossom eyes, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Perhaps it was because of the other party's frankness and lack of pretense.

Perhaps it was because they didn't want the scene to become too ugly.

In short, even he himself couldn't explain it.

"Miss Wang is very good at speaking."

Lan Tianyu smiled faintly, neither responding to the ambiguous topic that was worth waiting for, nor immediately drawing a line between them.

"I've heard the lattes here are pretty good, Miss Wang, would you like to try them?"

"Really? Then I'd like to try the coffee Mr. Lan recommended."
