Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, and given the genuine value of the elixirs sent by the Feng family, Li Qingcheng saw no need to offend them over such a trivial matter.

He smiled slightly, his tone gentle:

"It's just about finding a woman. Since Prince Feng has a title and is willing to apologize, my Li family will naturally do our best to help him."

"As long as we have the portrait, once we find her, we will bring her to you safe and sound."

Feng Qiguang cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Clan Chief Li."

He raised his hand and waved it, and a page of paper floated lightly in mid-air.

A woman was drawn on the paper.

He was fair-skinned and chubby, with a round face like a dumpling, his features squeezed together and looking somewhat aggrieved, and his waist as thick as a bucket.

The lobby fell eerily quiet for a moment.

Everyone stared at the portrait, their mouths agape, but no one spoke first.

After a long pause, someone finally let out a dry laugh.

"Young Master Feng... this painting is a bit hasty."

Feng Qiguang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, word by word:

"It wasn't sloppy."

"That's what she looks like."

Pfft!

Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Immediately afterwards, a suppressed chuckle echoed through the hall.

Some people remarked, "The young master Feng's fiancée... is truly blessed with good looks."

Some people whispered, "The young master's taste is indeed extraordinary."

But the same thought popped into everyone's mind:

How could such an ugly and out-of-shape woman become the fiancée of the Feng family's heir?

No wonder Feng Qiguang looked like he wanted to grab and devour that person.

Feng Qiguang's face turned pale and then flushed.

This is the shame of his life.

But then, the moment the portrait was unfurled...

The old steward, Li Keqing, who was standing at the lower end, suddenly froze.

He stared at the round face in the painting for a couple of seconds, then his eyelids twitched suddenly, and almost instinctively, without making a sound, he glanced to the side.

The person sitting over there is Li Yunyu.

Li Keqing took a deep breath.

Like.

so similar.

The person in this portrait is clearly the woman that the young master brought back yesterday!

And... she was even assigned to the young master's courtyard!

At this moment, his face looked as if it had cracked open, and he was extremely puzzled.

The relationship between these three people seems a bit complicated.

After explaining the portrait and tracking seal, the Feng family took their leave.

The atmosphere in the hall eased a bit after everyone left.

Li Qingcheng turned to look at Li Keqing, frowning, and said, "What happened to you just now? You looked so strange."

Li Keqing coughed lightly and hesitated before saying:

"Clan leader...that woman is indeed at the Li family's ancestral home."

Li Qingcheng: "..."

The teacup in his hand stopped in mid-air.

The clan elders also froze at the same time.

The next instant, a cool, clear voice rang out unhurriedly:

"yes."

Li Yunyu smiled slightly and said, "In my courtyard."

Everyone: "…………"

Li Qingcheng's forehead twitched.

Li Yunyu didn't think this was a big deal at all. He said, "I don't want to hand her over for the time being."

He tilted his head, his eyes covered by a silk ribbon, and saw everyone's reactions clearly.

His voice turned cold for a moment: "Please, uncles and elders, keep this a secret for me."

Li Yunyu had a portrait copied, and then, carrying the paper, went straight to Jixue Pavilion.

Yu Luoning was lounging on a cool chair in the courtyard, munching on an apple in one hand and flipping through a book he'd somehow acquired with the other, looking quite relaxed.

Li Yunyu stood under the eaves and said, "The Feng family has come looking for you."

Yu Luoning jumped up as if struck by lightning.

The apple was thrown behind it and rolled into the flower bed.

She glanced left and right, her eyes quickly scanning the wall.

There was only one word in my mind: Run!

Li Yunyu took in her entire appearance, a cool smile playing on his lips:

"really."

"They're looking for you."

Yu Luoning's heart sank.

This day came sooner than she had imagined.

She steeled herself and looked at Li Yunyu, cautiously saying:

"Then... will you hand me over, young master?"

Li Yunyu tilted his head slightly. "I haven't decided yet."

What do you think?

Yu Luoning immediately took half a step forward, looking pitiful:

"If it weren't for your rescue in the woods that day, I would have been dead long ago."

"Therefore, I belong to you in life, and I will belong to you in death!"

Li Yunyu gave a soft "hmm," his tone tinged with a hint of doubt:

"But aren't you Feng Qiguang's fiancée?"

Yu Luoning: "..."

She hesitated for a moment, then immediately looked up: "Who said that?!"

Li Yunyu: "He admitted it himself just now in the main hall."

Yu Luoning looked like she'd seen a ghost.

She suppressed her anger and quickly shoved the pot onto Feng Qi's bald head, saying:

Even though I'm his fiancée, he's never liked me.

"Young master, look at me like this... who would like me?"

"He came to me only to kill me with his own hands and wash away his shame."

After listening, Li Yunyu suddenly asked:

"Does being ugly have anything to do with whether others like you or not?"

Yu Luoning was taken aback: "How can it be unrelated?"

Li Yunyu: "In my eyes, there is no distinction between ugly and beautiful."

Yu Luoning was stunned for a moment, then fell silent for a while before a smile appeared on her lips that she couldn't suppress.

Listen to this, now that's human language.

Although she always jokes about her ugly appearance, she was a beauty in her past life, and she doesn't actually agree with the idea that she is ugly.

Unfortunately, ever since he was born with this appearance, everyone around him has been disgusted by him, except for Li Yunyu.

Yu Luoning couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

No wonder she chose this target; she has excellent taste.

His determination to win over Li Yunyu grew stronger.

"Is the young master trying to comfort me?"

Li Yunyu tilted his head, as if pondering the meaning of the word "comfort".

After a long pause, he said, "You can take that as true."

Yu Luoning suddenly stared at him with a serious expression.

Stare at that superior jawline, superior lip shape, and superior nose bridge.

Then she solemnly announced:

"Young master, what you're saying has no credibility whatsoever."

Li Yunyu: "..."

Yu Luoning: "Good-looking people have no right to speak."

Li Yunyu paused for two breaths.

The next moment, he chuckled softly, the laughter rolling out of his throat.

"What you said...makes some sense."
