Lu Yin did not go to the Zhu family, as it would be pointless even if he did. The Zhu family had made it clear that they would not give anyone face. Lu Yin found it strange. If that was the case, then why did the Zhu family keep True Insight?
They didn't have any powerful Lockbreakers, so they were either waiting for the right price or had other uses for the treasure.
A few days later, news spread from the Zhu family that anyone who could help Zhu San marry Qiong Xi'er would be offered True Insight as well as an additional 300,000 star essence.
His promise shook the entire Outerverse. Not to mention True Insight, just 300,000 star essence was not something that an ordinary person could obtain. Most cultivators would never be able to earn that much money in their entire lives.
Countless people contacted Zhu San to help him plan and teach him how to pursue women.
But Qiong Xi'er was not an ordinary woman. For more than ten days, Zhu San used all kinds of methods, but he was beaten by Qiong Xi'er every day. It made him angry when he saw those who helped him. Now, those people were often beaten by him before they even got close.
Qiong Xi 'er was even more annoyed. No one had expected this move from the Zhu family. She was sure that she would not marry Zhu San, but this move disgusted her. Even if she was hiding in the City Lord's residence, Zhu San would use all kinds of methods to make her see his love. The most exaggerated one was when she was bathing. A series of mice appeared, and every mouse had Zhu San's declaration of love engraved on them.
Qiongshan Hai was also furious. He went to find Zhu Jie and asked him to retract his promise. However, Zhu Jie refused to meet him. Even though Qiongshan Hai was the City Lord, he had not done anything outrageous. There was nothing he could do.
For a time, the entire Myriad City was discussing how to pursue Qiongxi 'er.
Not only Zhu San, but those who wanted to become the son-in-law of the family also used various methods. Sometimes, Zhu San would even fight with those people, causing the atmosphere in Myriad City to be foul.
Lu Yin watched as the crowd dispersed. These people had just fought, forcing each other not to pursue Qiong Xi'er.
He was speechless. She was just a tomboy. With her background, she could actually cause so many people to fight like crazy.
This didn't just affect Myriad City, as it had long since spread beyond Tyrannical Weave and towards the entire Outerverse. Many great powers wanted to ally themselves with Myriad City, and many places were thrown into chaos.
Qiongxi 'er was completely famous, not only because of her background, but also because of her hobbies, personality, dressing style, and even the fact that she had stayed out with several women in the past.
But it didn't matter. Even if she was promiscuous, there would still be countless people fighting over her.
This was a farce, but Lu Yin did not intend to just be a spectator. Farces could sometimes be an opportunity to change the situation. If any of these people really married into the Qiong family, then the situation in the Outerverse would definitely change. Lu Yin would not allow anything out of his control to happen right under his nose.
Thinking of this, he contacted Wang Wen. This person probably knew more about Qiong Xi 'er.
"You want to pursue Qiongxi 'er?" Wang Wen shouted exaggeratedly.
Lu Yin rubbed his ears, "Not me, I want to help Zhu San woo her. Is there any way?"
"No. That woman is a pervert. She does what she wants in any situation. At the Qionglin Banquet, she could dress up demurely and gracefully. In the brothel, she could also be a playboy. In any case, this woman is very strange. If you want to pursue her, you'll have to become a woman. She has no interest in men," said Wang Wen.
Lu Yin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "What did you just say?"
Wang Wen blinked. "She's not interested in men."
"What's the first sentence?"
Wang Wen replied, "Unless you become a woman."
"Right, that's it. Become a woman." Lu Yin slammed the table and closed the screen. He then walked towards Rusty Fragrance Pavilion. Qiongxi 'er had been there for the past few days, as if to announce that she was such a person and to not bother her.
Zhu San was also there, and he was anxiously watching Qiongxi 'er.
He felt that if he did not capture Qiongxi 'er this time, then there would be no hope for him in this lifetime. Thus, he kept an eye on Qiongxi' er all day, and if anyone dared to strike up a conversation with her, he would beat them up. If he couldn't beat them, then the Zhu family would find someone. There was no one in Myriad City that the Zhu family did not dare to beat, unless they really could not beat them.
Rui Xiang Pavilion was built in a courtyard. Outside of Qiong Xi 'er's courtyard, the surrounding area had been taken over by Zhu San. Many people were discussing this matter. These people were all helping Zhu San with his schemes. They were all so-called Love Saints.
Zhu San paced back and forth in frustration.
In the distance, Wei Rong and Starfox arrived. This was the first time they had met alone since arriving in Myriad City.
Wei Rong smiled as he looked at Zhu San in the distance. "Actually, if he can marry Qiongxi 'er, then it would be pretty good."
Starfox nodded. "The Zhu family will not step out of Myriad City, and even if the Qiongxi family leaves Myriad City, they will only be a powerful family. They are far from being able to change the situation."
"There are only a few powers in the Outerverse that can change the situation, but no one knows the depth of these powers," Wei Rong said.
Starfox did not reply, and he continued to look into the distance with interest.
Lu Yin arrived, but he did not pay any attention to Wei Rong or Starfox. Instead, he walked over to Zhu San. "How about you try my method?"
Zhu San was puzzled. "You have a method?"
Lu Yin replied, "Let's give it a try. It might be useful."
Zhu San was skeptical, and he whispered, "You're not trying to break us up on purpose, are you? Let me tell you, Lu Yin, if I can't marry Qiongxi 'er, then don't even think about marrying her."
Lu Yin was speechless. If he liked someone, then everyone else would like them as well. This was a classic case of unrequited love.
He did not waste any more words with Zhu San and instead pulled him over to whisper into his ear.
Zhu San listened, and his mouth gradually gaped open. He was stunned for a moment, as if he had just heard something that made him doubt his life.
"Do you dare to give it a try?" Lu Yin asked.
Zhu San gulped. "Are … are you sure?"
Lu Yin nodded. "You should know better than anyone else that this woman has an eccentric personality. Under normal circumstances, you definitely won't be able to pursue her. Give it a try. Even if it's worse, can it be worse than it is now?
She doesn't just dislike you; she hates you. She hates you, understand?
She hates you so much that she can't wait to stomp on you and spit on you. "
Zhu San's mouth twitched, as this was the most heart-wrenching thing he had heard in the past few days. He gritted his teeth. "Fine, I'll give it a try. I, Zhu San, am willing to do anything for her, even if I have to be mocked by everyone." He then walked towards another courtyard without looking back, even instructing the Rusty Fragrance Pavilion to send some girls over.
Everyone was curious as to what Lu Yin had suggested to Zhu San.
Wei Rong and Starfox were equally curious.
Over the past few days, they had tried all sorts of methods, but none of them had worked on Qiongxi 'er. Zhu San was like a gambler who had lost so much that his eyes had turned red. He would not do anything out of line, right?
Not long after, Zhu San appeared.
Then, everyone was stunned.
Wei Rong spat out his tea and spat it all over Starfox.
Starfox was a Hunter, but he did not dodge. Instead, he stared blankly at Zhu San.
Everyone was shocked by Zhu San, as he had dressed up as a woman.
There were all sorts of strange things in the universe, and to a normal person, this was called cross-dressing. Perhaps it was just a hobby, but everyone had their own preferences. However, Zhu San was the sole heir of the Zhu family, and his reputation in the Outerverse was not low.
The Zhu family was one of the largest families in Myriad City, second only to the Qiong family.
Zhu San's appearance as a woman was like a bolt of lightning that struck Myriad City. The Zhu family's reputation had been completely lost.
Wei Rong looked at Zhu San in amazement. This courage was truly ruthless. He then looked at Lu Yin, as the young man was playing with fire. Wasn't he afraid that the Zhu family's ancestor would crawl out and crush him?
The servants of the Zhu family immediately cried. They were done for, and no one could save them now.
No one knew how much courage Zhu San had mustered, but he walked towards Qiongxi 'er's courtyard step by step as countless gazes focused on him. He knew that his appearance would soon spread throughout the Outerverse, but he still decided to give it a try. For the sake of his beloved, he was not even afraid of death. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Lu Yin admired Zhu San, as he did not have the courage to do so.
The courtyard's gates opened, and laughter could be heard from within, including Qiongxi 'er's wanton laughter.
When Zhu San entered, the laughter stopped abruptly.
Everyone waited for Zhu San to be kicked out. This scene had happened many times, and they were no stranger to it.
But after a while, there was no sound.
The servants of the Zhu family panicked. Could Qiongxi 'er have become so disgusted that she would kill the young master in a fit of rage? They immediately rushed into the courtyard and then rushed out in ecstasy. The young master was having fun with Qiongxi' er.
Everyone gasped, as Zhu San had actually succeeded. They all looked at Lu Yin, as this was a true Casanova.
Lu Yin's heart relaxed, as he had actually taken a gamble. In any case, he was treating a dead horse as a living horse. To deal with a strange person like Qiongxi 'er, he had to use strange methods. He had not held out much hope, and the moment Zhu San walked out, he had already prepared himself to face the wrath of the Zhu family. He had never expected that he would actually succeed.
This time, Lu Yin became famous again, not because of his strength or background, but because he had successfully helped Zhu San approach Qiongxi 'er. It was said that Qiongxi' er was having a great time, and the two did not leave Ruinxiang Pavilion for the entire night.
Wei Rong admired Lu Yin for being able to come up with such a plan.
Starfox looked at Lu Yin with some lingering fear. This person really dared to do anything. Fortunately, he had been wise and had not fought to the death with Lu Yin. Aegis was not afraid, as it could afford a battle of attrition, but with such an enemy around, who knew what he would do?
He decided that no matter what happened in the future, Aegis would not make an enemy out of this person. This person had no bottom line.
Lu Yin was not the only one who had no bottom line.
Zhu San successfully approached Qiongxi 'er, and the next day, many men dressed up as women arrived at Ruinxiang Pavilion. The guests were stunned, as they thought that this was a new service that Ruinxiang Pavilion had just launched. There was actually someone who was interested, and that person casually flirted with one of the women, only to have his leg broken.
Zhu San was abandoned, and Qiongxi 'er found a new playmate. This person was dressed even more flirtatiously than Zhu San, and had no bottom line at all.
Zhu San went all out and learned how to dance.
These people were not bad, and they could do anything that women could do. All of them competed with each other in Qiongxi 'er's courtyard, causing many men outside to feel nauseous.
Lu Yin did not go there, as it was too much of an eyesore. The scene had completely changed, and he felt that he had made a bad start.
On this day, Lu Yin accepted an invitation from Jasper Mountain Sea and headed to the city lord's mansion.
This was his first time visiting the city lord's mansion since he had arrived at Myriad City.
The city lord's mansion was located at the center of Myriad City, and although it was called the city lord's mansion, it was actually the Qiong family's residence.
