Chapter 2723

The sky was clear. Lan Tian spoke hurriedly, "Senior, I know my own character best. In twenty-four years, I have seen many girls, but I felt nothing for them. Not even admiration. I do not have those romantic thoughts. But I know myself clearly. Regarding Miss Qingyun…"

Lan Tian paused slightly. "I cannot say I love her yet. But I know she is the only one who can capture my attention and admiration. I am very clear about this. Therefore, I want to spend more time with Miss Qingyun. Only then can I understand what kind of love I have for her. Once I am clear, if it is sibling love, I will care for her as a brother. If it is the love of a partner, I will never let her go. I will promise my life to her alone."

Qing Shan looked at Lan Tian, speechless. Although she was Qingyun’s great-uncle, Zhu Yanyi was Qingyun’s master. With the master present, it was not her place to interfere.

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment, then looked at Lan Tian. "You are honest."

She spoke sincerely. She somewhat agreed with her, mainly because Lan Tian was telling the truth.

None of the people present had experienced love at first sight. They only developed feelings after recognizing someone. To them, love at first sight was not necessarily reliable.

If Lan Tian had claimed deep feelings for Qingyun from the start, Zhu Yanyi would not have believed her.

But Lan Tian did not say that. She only described her current feelings. On this point, Zhu Yanyi was satisfied with her honesty.

"I give you one month to determine your feelings. After a month, I will take Qingyun away. Also, even if you confirm your feelings within a month, your marriage to Qingyun must wait until she is twenty years old. Otherwise, it is not allowed." Zhu Yanyi stated the conditions upfront.

"Agreed." Lan Tian agreed without hesitation.

Zhu Yanyi added, "If you have time this month, come over. I will check your cultivation. Some aspects seem to harm your body. Rest and recover well. I do not want my disciple to marry a cripple."

Lan Tian looked at Zhu Yanyi in surprise. She indeed had hidden injuries from cultivation. Even the best doctors in Seven-Color City could not cure them. Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, it seemed these were no problem.

Thinking about it, someone who could casually cultivate a Spirit Venerable naturally had great ability. So he nodded. "Then I trouble you, Senior, for this month."

Zhu Yanyi hummed in acknowledgment and said nothing else.

From that day on, Lan Tian came almost every day, mostly in the afternoon. In the morning, Lan Tian handled Blue Family affairs.

The marriage between Qing Xia and Hong Xiao was finally held. However, Hong Xiao changed his name to Xing Xiao. This way, Hong Hai’s oath would not harm the Hong Family.

After Xing Xiao married Qing Xia, he lived with Mrs. Xing in a manor outside Seven-Color City and never appeared in public again.

At least the couple rarely appeared before people. Hong Lei of the Hong Family became the new head of the Hong Family.

Because Hong Xiong was there, the Hong Family experienced turmoil but was not heavily affected. Of course, Hong Hai’s true love, A Xing, became Hong Hai’s concubine. However, because she caused turmoil in the Hong Family, the family did not welcome A Xing. Hong Hai, fearing others would make things difficult for A Xing, let her continue living outside. Her status changed from an outside mistress to a concubine.

Naturally, the affairs of the Qing and Hong families had nothing to do with Zhu Yanyi and her group. Most importantly, the annual Seven-Family Trade Fair of Seven-Color City was about to begin.

The Seven-Family Trade Fair was a feature of Seven-Color City. The White, Ink, Purple, Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow families of Seven-Color City jointly held a trade fair. Of course, participants were not limited to these seven families, but they were the representatives. As long as they had good items, they could bring them out for trade during this fair. This was also a way to promote the economic development of Seven-Color City.

One afternoon, Lan Tian brought pastries to Suiyuan Pharmacy as usual.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Lan Tian’s leisurely demeanor and smiled. "I heard the annual Seven-Family Trade Fair starts in a few days. As the head of the Blue Family, how do you have time to come to my Suiyuan Pharmacy?"

"Auntie Yan, I was thinking of inviting you to participate." After speaking, Lan Tian took out a blue invitation with gold edges and gave it to Zhu Yanyi.

"This is a VIP invitation from our Blue Family. I thought, Uncle and Auntie do not often come to Seven-Color City. You must want to take some local specialties back. The Seven-Family Trade Fair is not just for seven families. Many specialties will be available. Auntie can just take this invitation there. They will record the account under the Blue Family."

"Is this using public practice chamber for private gain?" Zhu Yanyi smiled.

"Actually, it is not using public practice chamber for private gain, but to thank Auntie for your miraculous healing skills." Lan Tian said seriously, with gratitude on his face. "Because of Auntie’s miraculous healing skills, I can now become a Spirit Venerable."

That was right. Lan Tian had successfully completed Qi Condensation. Lan Tian’s talent was a high-grade Water Spiritual Root.

Although Lan Tian was not yet officially with Qingyun, Zhu Yanyi still approved of Lan Tian’s character. So she moved her hand and gave her a Marrow-Cleansing Pill. Thus, Lan Tian’s spiritual root became top-grade, and she successfully completed Qi Condensation. However, in this plane, Lan Tian still referred to herself as becoming a Spirit Venerable.

"The date is the day after tomorrow." Zhu Yanyi opened the invitation and checked the date.

"The Seven-Family Trade Fair lasts for seven days starting the day after tomorrow. Many items will appear during these seven days, of all kinds. Even if you do not buy anything, you can go to the food street. There are many snacks." Lan Tian introduced.

"Alright. We will all go out to look the day after tomorrow." Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"That…" Lan Tian hesitated, then added, "Auntie, can I ask Qingyun to help me starting tomorrow?"

"Help?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Lan Tian with a half-smile.

Lan Tian coughed to hide his shyness, but the dark red on his face revealed his current mood. "The Blue Family has many things that need the future mistress to do. So I want to invite Qingyun to help."

"Are you sure?" Zhu Yanyi understood Lan Tian’s meaning. She knew Lan Tian had seen her own heart clearly.

"I am sure and certain. I want Qingyun. I want to spend my life with her. No, for eternity. After the Blue Family matters are settled, I will pass the position of family head to my younger brother. When he is familiar with everything in the Blue Family, I want to follow Qingyun."
