Chapter 81: Huo Yunjie’s Blind Date Story

Translator: 549690339

“What? Just because it’s not a matchmaking meeting, I can’t have you brought back?” the woman asked with her hands on her hips, a dissatisfied look on her face.

Huo Yunjie hastily said, “No, I didn’t mean that.”

At this moment, Huo Daxiong, not far away, pulled out the scissors stuck in his boot and said in a deep voice:

“This matchmaking meeting is with the young miss of the Lin Family from Beacon Fire City, who is also a talented disciple of the Yunhua Sect, and could be considered Yun Hao’s senior sister. In the past, someone like you wouldn’t have caught the eye of Miss Lin, but now… with Qi Refinement at the Peak of the seventh level and an extremely high success rate.”

Initially, Huo Daxiong had little faith in Huo Yunjie.

After all, a person who had entered a lower-ranked sect at his age would do well to have reached the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refinement.

But who could have known that Huo Yunjie, as if he had taken Immortal Elixirs and Wondrous Medicines, had soared to the Peak of the seventh level of Qi Refinement in just a few short months, surpassing even Miss Lin, and would even be considered a core disciple in a high-ranked sect.

With this in mind, the chances of the Huo Residence arranging a wedding alliance with the Lin Family became very high.

As the lord of the Huo Residence, Huo Daxiong was the greatest beneficiary. Thinking of this, his heart swelled with joy, and looking at Huo Yunjie, he even found his face somewhat more pleasing to the eye.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yunjie furrowed his brow.

Over the years, Huo Daxiong had always wanted Huo Yunjie to marry into one of the other aristocratic families of Beacon Fire City, and Huo Yunjie’s mother had also agreed, especially this year when Huo Yunjie had already attended nine matchmaking meetings, which truly depleted his patience.

“Second Senior Brother, what is the Yunhua Sect?”

Long Tianxing leaned in and whispered to Huo Yunjie.

Huo Yunjie turned his head and said, “The Yunhua Sect is a high-ranked sect located over a hundred miles away from Beacon Fire City, occupying a mountain range of more than ten square miles. In addition to having over a thousand disciples, the sect is also home to several Element Gathering Realm powerhouses.”

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yunjie added, “Oh right, the people around here are all cultivators, and their six senses are very sharp. You don’t need to deliberately lower your voice when talking because whether you whisper or speak normally, they can hear you.”

After hearing the latter part, Long Tianxing’s face turned embarrassed.

“Indeed! The Yunhua Sect is the strongest high-ranked sect in this area. It’s just that it hasn’t been promoted to a One-Star Sect yet because certain conditions have not been met, but in reality, it is no weaker than a One-Star Sect. My son Yun Hao is endowed with a natural gift and was fortunate to join the Yunhua Sect.”

Huo Daxiong said proudly, as if he was the one who had joined the Yunhua Sect.

After a pause, Huo Daxiong continued, “The lady my son Yun Jie is meeting for the matchmaking is a direct disciple of an Elder of the Yunhua Sect with Qi Refinement at the seventh level. If this match is successful, our Huo Residence will be able to maintain a closer relationship with the Yunhua Sect.”

Huo Daxiong initially wanted to say “little bastard” but as soon as he uttered the word “little,” he caught sight of Huo Yunjie’s mother raising a pair of scissors with survival instinct kicking in, he immediately corrected himself.

After hearing all this, Huo Yunjie coldly sneered, “Women will only slow down my cultivation speed.”

He greatly disliked being ordered about by Huo Daxiong.

Firstly, he was not Huo Daxiong’s biological son.

Moreover, when he was younger, Huo Daxiong either beat or scolded him, leading to a frosty relationship. If it weren’t for not being strong enough on his own and concern for his mother, Huo Yunjie would have flown far away long ago.

“I think you’ve grown too bold!”

Huo Daxiong said angrily, stomping and breaking a floor tile.

Huo Yunjie’s mother immediately dropped the scissors and pulled out a shiny kitchen knife from behind her back, “Huo Daxiong, shut your mouth! Get back to your training room right now! Yun Jie, come with mom to meet Miss Lin.”

Although Huo Daxiong was quite arrogant, he was under strict control by his wife. Facing the woman brandishing a knife, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and leave with a flick of his sleeve.

Zhuyu Teahouse.

The most famous teahouse in Beacon Fire City.

Inside the luxurious private room on the third floor, a tea table was set in the center with a man and a woman sitting on either side.

The man, of course, was Huo Yunjie.

The woman was dressed in a white gown, her long hair flowing loose with a red string tied in a butterfly knot at the back, giving her a simple and elegant appearance.

However, Huo Yunjie was preoccupied with drinking tea, oblivious to the beautiful Miss Lin sitting in front of him.

There was only one thought in his mind:

Women, will only slow down my cultivation speed!

The lady also drank her tea in silence.

In this regard, the two shared a surprising tacit understanding.

Outside the private room.

Shi Lei, Long Tianxing, Huo Yunhao, the mother of Huo Yunjie, and several women clung to the bamboo mat curtain, secretly watching.

“My goodness, why don’t they talk? They just know to drink tea. Could it be that affection can be brewed through tea-drinking?”

“If one could brew affection from drinking tea, that would be nice indeed!”

“This matchmaking process is truly a bit awkward.”

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Inside the private room.

The young lady from the Lin Family took the lead in putting down her teacup and said,

“Lin Yuyan, direct disciple of an elder from the Yunhua Sect, seventh layer of Qi Refinement, possesses nine First Grade Spells and one Second-Grade Spell, all of which have reached Major Achievement. My intention is in cultivation, not in the matters of personal affections.”

Huo Yunjie laughed, put down his teacup, and said,

“Huo Yunjie, second disciple of the Misty Sect from Whitefloat City, at the peak of the seventh layer of Qi Refinement, several First Grade Spells have reached Perfection. Women will only slow down my pace in cultivation.”

The young lady, Lin Yuyan, was slightly moved.

She had thought that today’s matchmaking partner would be a simpleton, but to her surprise, he was a handsome young man whose cultivation level was above hers and even more impressive was that his Spells were all at Perfection.

The only flaw was that he liked to boast.

However, Lin Yuyan had her mind not set on romantic entanglements. Even though she found Huo Yunjie to be quite agreeable, she had no intention of agreeing to this marriage alliance.

“It seems, Fellow Daoist Lin, that we’ve come to an understanding. After another cup of tea, it would be time for us to return to our respective homes.”

Huo Yunjie laughed.

Truth be told, Lin Yuyan left a good first impression on him, her makeup was light, giving her an appearance of elegance and purity, and she also seemed very clean and tidy.

The only thing was, he was intent on cultivation.

“All right.” Lin Yuyan picked up the teapot, only to find it empty and then called out, “Another pot of tea, please.”

The crowd outside the window was dumbfounded.

The two had been drinking tea for a long while and then suddenly, they had a brief exchange, and it was over?

Although they were a bit confused by what they heard, they could pretty much discern that this matchmaking session had come to nothing, and they were scratching their heads in urgency.

At this moment, a maid carrying a teapot walked into the private room, ready to pour tea for the two of them.

Long Tianxing glanced at the maid and suddenly felt a sting in his eyes. He quickly channeled spiritual energy into his eyes and saw a strange black human face phantom hovering above the maid’s head.

“Something’s amiss!”

Long Tianxing pointed at the maid and shouted.

Huo Yunjie and Lin Yuyan, upon hearing the warning, both looked up at the maid and noticed that her eyes were pupil-less, just white.

“Not good, this woman has been struck by the Soul Controlling Art!”

Lin Yuyan suddenly thought of something.

And at that moment, the maid violently smashed the teapot towards Lin Yuyan and flicked a silver talisman from her sleeve that went flying towards her in an instant.

Busy dodging the teapot, Lin Yuyan failed to notice the oncoming attack and was struck by the “Stabilizing Talisman” on her forehead, her body instantly rendered immobile.

She couldn’t muster any of her mana.

Clang!

Another dagger sprang from the maid’s sleeve, wrapped in black energy, stabbing towards Lin Yuyan’s vital areas.

“Do you think I do not exist?”

Huo Yunjie angrily threw his teacup and with a move of the “Iron Shield Technique”, he shielded the front, knocking the maid flying out and crashing through the third-floor window to the ground below.

Afterward, he reached out and removed the silver talisman from Lin Yuyan’s forehead, restoring her ability to move.

“That is someone from the Soul Seizing Sect, quick, after her!”

Lin Yuyan suddenly unsheathed her Spirit Sword and leaped out through the window.
