Next to him stood a dog walking upright, a centipede, a bear, and a floating spirit.
The dog and the bear each held a bouquet of morning glories in their hands.
"I am Lu Benwei, and with my little brothers, I’ve come to welcome you, dear lady. Welcome, dear lady."
As he spoke, Lu Benwei placed his hand over his chest, performing an extremely gentlemanly gesture.
Seeing this, the dog and the bear quickly offered their morning glories.
Was this the "Brother Lu" that Su Yu'er had mentioned?
Bai Mei was both flustered and honored.
Though the flowers and Lu Benwei's attire left much to be desired, his gentlemanly demeanor gave her a very positive impression.
When she arrived, she had even prepared herself to serve Lu Benwei as a servant, as long as he wasn’t someone like Wen Chengyu.
But she never expected that not only was Lu Benwei not like that, but he was also so approachable and had even come to personally welcome her.
This made her extremely grateful, feeling that coming here was the right decision.
"This humble servant greets you, my lord," Bai Mei quickly bowed.
"You’re too kind, dear lady. Since you’ve just arrived, allow this scoundrel to show you around the island."
With that, Lu Benwei made a gesture of invitation.
At the same time, he glared fiercely at the dog and the others.
Seeing this, the dog and the others vanished without a trace.
And so, Bai Mei followed Lu Benwei as they strolled around. After just two steps, they were blocked by Zhao Qi, who was lying on the ground.
"What trash dares to block this scoundrel’s path?"
With a kick, Lu Benwei sent Zhao Qi flying, leaving Bai Mei wide-eyed in shock.
"Ah, my apologies, dear lady. Just clearing away some garbage," Lu Benwei said with a gentle smile.
"It’s... it’s fine," Bai Mei replied calmly on the surface, though her heart was racing. That single kick was likely far beyond anything the manure-carrying uncle could have managed.
The two of them walked quietly along the shoreline.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, Lu Benwei began reciting with deep emotion.
"Look at those mountains, look at that water..."
"Truly, such fine mountains and waters."
"Lord Lu, your literary talent is remarkable," Bai Mei quickly praised.
"You flatter me, dear lady. I am but a humble man with only a slight knowledge of poetry," Lu Benwei replied with a refined smile, walking side by side with Bai Mei, hands clasped behind his back.
Behind them, a dog swiftly passed by, placing a bouquet of morning glories into Lu Benwei’s hand.
"Dear lady, these are for you," Lu Benwei said with delight.
"Thank you, Lord Lu," Bai Mei said, cradling the flowers in her hands.
"Come, let this scoundrel take you over there," Lu Benwei said patiently, his hand hovering nervously before finally resting on Bai Mei’s shoulder.
Seeing that she didn’t resist, his hand settled gently.
Bai Mei’s body trembled slightly, a bit shy, but she didn’t pull away.
She never expected that someone of Lord Lu’s strength could be so hesitant.
She couldn’t help but wonder what lay behind that mysterious, fog-covered face.
With Bai Mei now in his embrace, Lu Benwei stood tall and proud.
And so, Lu Benwei took Bai Mei around the island eighteen times, spouting all sorts of cheesy romantic lines.
"Dear lady, this scoundrel is very happy today."
"Please accept this small gift."
With that, Lu Benwei took out a small fragment of bone.
"Take it back and refine it."
"Next time, this scoundrel will eagerly await your return."
"Waiting for you..."
Looking at the bone fragment and replaying Lu Benwei’s words in her mind, Bai Mei carefully stored it away. At that moment, she had no idea what this bone fragment would bring her.
But her mood was joyful.
This trip had turned out far better than she had originally feared.
Moreover, Lord Lu’s request for her to return seemed to imply that he didn’t intend for her to serve as a servant here.
She was deeply moved.
Before long, she and Su Yu'er returned to the Yunjie Sect.
After parting ways, Guan Ling rushed over with a grave expression.
"Yu'er, did you know that because we took in Bai Mei, the Fengyun Sect has sent us a message?"
"They’ve announced that they will send someone to our Yunjie Sect in one day. We thought it was just an inner disciple, so the Yunjie Sect wouldn’t be affected, but this move shows we underestimated the Fengyun Sect!"
"You know, if we truly provoke the Fengyun Sect, we’re in no position to resist. They are a major sect with two spirit ships."
"So I’m here to warn you. I’ll do my best to protect Bai Mei, but if the Fengyun Sect insists on taking her, I’ll have no choice but to hand her over."
"Because it’s simply not worth it to risk a conflict with the Fengyun Sect over an inner disciple with mediocre talent!"
