The Rain Listening Pavilion was one of the famous ones in the Liu Family. Its purpose was to serve young masters and ladies of other families, and only directly related disciples of Second-rank Families in the Wu Ling County were qualified to get here.
Hence, the Liu Family had taken Lu Li quite seriously. Their intent of staging this feast was clear, to solicit Lu Li.
After Lu Li went into the Rain Listening Pavilion, he was somewhat intimidated by the situation. The Rain Listening Pavilion was sumptuous and extremely luxurious. Lu Li was born of humble origin so he had never seen a pavilion so splendid. He thought he had gone to the imperial palace.
The Rain Listening Pavilion was not big. There were five gold tables on each side and two in the front center of the room. Delicious food was piled on all gold tables. Liu Yi was sitting behind one of the gold tables in the front center while smiling at Lu Li.
Behind every gold table on both sides seated beautiful ladies of handsome looks and elegant posture. Judging by the looks of it, Lu Li thought he had entered the imperial harem with so many pretty girls which made him dizzy.
"Keep it cool, keep it cool!"
Lu Li kept thinking this in his head. Since Lu Ling had a face that could overthrow countries and cities, Lu Li had some immunity when it came to attractive women. Even though the pretty ladies seated here had unusual identities and extraordinary temperament, they were inferior to Lu Ling. He knew clearly what Liu Yi was after. How could he fall for it?
"Eh?"
The ladies saw that Lu Li had regained his composure and were surprised. The most beautiful ladies of the Liu Family were sent here. They were quite confident about their looks. How could this bumpkin from a tribe have such strong willpower?
Liu Yi forced a smile on her face. So it seemed that feasting with beauties was of not much use today. The punk really was like a stone in the latrine, smelly and stubborn at the same time.
Lu Li bowed and gave his salute. "Greetings, Lady Yi. Greetings, ladies."
"Come here and sit!" Liu Yi wanted to win him over. She stood up and pointed to the gold table next to hers.
Today, Liu Yi was in a light yellow long shirt with lacework at the hems. She was wearing a pink band around her waist which highlighted her attractive and slim waist. Her hair was combed into a bun on her head, showing her white neck, glittering earlobes and charming collarbones. She was so lovely and graceful.
It was now approaching dusk. Candles were flickering, and the dim yellow candle light reflected on Liu Yi’s pretty and dazzling face, making her all the more inviting.
Lu Li refused to be distracted. He slightly nodded and strode toward the golden table. Before he sat down, delicate fragrance assailed his nostrils. With so many pretty girls around him, Lu Li was a bit intoxicated already before he started drinking.
"Dear sisters, allow me to introduce him. This is Lu Li. I told you about him. He is a Guest Warrior of our Family and once saved my life."
Liu Yi picked up her goblet and put on a smile. She glanced over the room and settled her eyesight on Lu Li. "Lu Li, these are my sisters. They are all ladies of the immediate Family. Today, we have gathered here to pay our gratitude for your saving me last time. Here, let us propose a toast to master Lu."
"Hee, hee!"
"Chuckle, chuckle!"
"Young Master Lu, here’s to you. Thank you so much for saving Sister Yi~"
"Young Master Lu, you are so young. I can’t believe that you have made it to the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm. You sure do have a promising future before you."
"…"
The ladies stood up one after another. They said to Lu Li such soft tones, and stared at him with such admiring and flirty looks, which made Lu Li’s heartbeat accelerate. He hurried up and picked his goblet. "Thank you ladies. Thank you, Lady Yi!"
Seeing the over cautious and tense look of Lu Li, Liu Yi smiled and emptied her goblet. Then she looked at Lu Li with her keen, sparkling eyes.
What else was there left for Lu Li? He had to empty his goblet as well. The rest of the ladies finished their drinks as well. Instantly, they became quite chatty.
"Young Master Lu, we have heard so much about you already, but this is the first time we see you. I am Liu Ying. Here’s to you."
