Less than an hour after Liu Renli returned to the backyard, the old man came to the hall of the backyard. He bowed to Liu Renli and said, "Young master, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat?"
Liu Renli immediately turned to the others and said, "Alright, everyone, dinner is ready. Today, we'll try the game that we hunted. Uncle Gatekeeper, send someone to invite Miss Hu." The Old Gatekeeper nodded and then turned around to leave.
At this time, one of Liu Renli's companions smiled and said, "Good Liu Renli, you're really too unreasonable. You know that it's hard to hunt a pheasant, but you still let us go up the mountain. We didn't open anything up on the mountain and only got some ordinary game. What's so good about it?"
Liu Renli laughed and said, "We came out to play, the main thing is to have fun. Also, what's the point of eating those things in the academy? It's still better to hunt by ourselves."
The others chuckled. Liu Renli also stood up and led the others to the dining hall. Although the manor wasn't as big as the Liu Mansion, the dining hall wasn't small. It was now very clean, and the dishes were already on the table. The wine was also prepared.
After Liu Renli and the others sat down, they didn't immediately start eating. Instead, they chatted. They were very clear that they were just supporting roles. Even the host, Liu Renli, was also a supporting role. There was only one real protagonist, and that was Hu Xian 'er.
Not long after they entered the dining hall, Hu Xian 'er came in. Surprisingly, Ling' er didn't follow her. When they saw Hu Xian 'er come in, Liu Renli and the others stood up. Liu Renli cupped his fist to Hu Xian' er and said with a smile, "Miss Hu, I've made you wait for a long time. These game were all hunted by us. Although it's not good stuff, it's still fresh.
Please have a taste. "Hu Xian 'er didn't decline. Instead, she smiled faintly and said to Liu Renli," You've worked hard. Then I won't be polite. "Then she sat down.
In the Soul World, under normal circumstances, men and women would not eat together when they were not married. It would cause gossip. However, this rule didn't apply to the Saber Sage Pavilion. It was a school with both men and women. When they were in school, the men and women would study together. It was the same when they ate. The only thing they didn't do was sleep together. Therefore, it was very normal for them to eat together.
When Liu Renli and the others saw Hu Xian 'er sit down, they also sat down. However, Liu Renli's friends were somewhat stunned. This was because they discovered that Hu Xian' er's attitude towards them seemed to be a bit better. This made them somewhat puzzled, but at the same time, they also felt very honored.
Liu Renli poured a cup of fruit wine for Hu Xian 'er and a cup of green pine wine for the others. Then he raised his cup and said, "Today, I'm very happy that everyone is able to come to the Red Clouds Manor. On behalf of the Liu Family, I welcome everyone. Come, let's have a toast." Everyone laughed and then drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.
After everyone drank a cup, Liu Renli smiled and said, "Alright, you don't have to be polite. Come and taste the game that you hunted." Upon hearing this, everyone laughed again. But because Hu Xian 'er was here, no one scolded Liu Renli.
Hu Xian 'er looked at the appearance of Liu Renli and the others and smiled faintly. She was also very curious about Liu Renli and the others. She rarely came into contact with people of Liu Renli's level. Now that she came into contact with Liu Renli and the others, she discovered that they weren't bad people. They were even easier to get along with compared to the people from the big clans. This made Hu Xian' er somewhat surprised.
Everyone was very happy to eat this meal. Although the game was very ordinary, Liu Sen's daughter-in-law had been sitting at the foot of Cloud Gathering Mountain. Therefore, they were very good at making game. The game that they made tasted very good, therefore, Liu Renli and the others were very happy to eat.
After eating dinner, Liu Renli had Liu Sen take them to the guest room to rest. Then he called the Old Gatekeeper to the study room. After the Old Gatekeeper entered the study room, Liu Renli said, "Uncle Gatekeeper, how about this? I want Liu Yan to return to the family tonight and tell father about the Crane Grass. At the same time, I want the family to make some preparations. Naturally, we won't make any arrangements for the Little Crane Grass. I think that the Hu Family will certainly investigate the Little Crane Grass. If we make any arrangements, then it might have the opposite effect. But this time, Miss Hu came to the Manor, we need to make some arrangements. At the very least, we need to ensure her safety."
The Old Gatekeeper nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master. I'll immediately arrange it."
Liu Renli nodded, then he said, "Even if the Crane Grass can't enter the Hu Family, the Liu Family will still do our best to nurture her. Uncle Gatekeeper can rest assured, I'll keep my word." The Old Gatekeeper thanked Liu Renli once again before he turned around and left.
After receiving the order, Liu Yan immediately rode his horse back to Cloud Gathering City. The Manor wasn't far from Cloud Gathering City, but the city gates were closed at night. However, Liu Yan had his own way, he directly went to the North Gate. This was the Liu Family's territory. When he arrived at the North Gate, he immediately had the guards bring him to the city.
The city gate couldn't be opened. Therefore, when the Liu family on the city wall heard that Liu Yan had returned to the city under Liu Renli's order, they immediately put down a big basket and pulled Liu Yan onto the city wall. Liu Yan then returned to the Liu family.
After arriving at the Liu Family, Liu Yan immediately asked to see Liu Yunfei. Because Liu Renli sent him back, Liu Yunfei still went to see Liu Yan.
When Liu Yan arrived outside Liu Yunfei's study room, he was a little nervous. This was the first time he came to see the Patriarch alone. Moreover, it wasn't in the Liu Family's White Mansion, but in the Patriarch's study room.
Outside Liu Yunfei's study, there were two Soul Soldiers guarding it. Liu Yan was only a Soul Soldier, so he could only stand there and wait for Liu Yunfei's summons.
Before long, a voice was heard from Liu Yunfei's study, "Let Liu Yan come in." The two guards complied and opened the door. Liu Yan cupped his fist to the two guards and then entered the study.
After entering the study, Liu Yan immediately saluted Liu Yunfei and said, "Liu Yan has seen the Patriarch. Long live the Patriarch."
Liu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's talk. Why did Renli go to the Red Clouds Manor? He even asked you to deliver a letter overnight. Is there something urgent?"
Liu Yan said, "Patriarch, the Seventh Young Master came to the Red Clouds Manor with his classmates in the afternoon. They were accompanied by a young lady surnamed Hu. They came to see the scenery of the mountains. But later on, it seems that there was something else. Therefore, Young Master Renli asked me to deliver a letter overnight. This is the Seventh Young Master's handwritten letter." Then Liu Yan took out Liu Renli's handwritten letter from his bosom. Then he held it up high and handed it to Liu Yunfei.
Liu Yunfei received the letter and carefully read it. He already knew that Liu Renli went to the Red Clouds Manor. After all, Liu Sen had already sent a message to the Liu Family, telling them to send some maids and servants tomorrow. However, Liu Yunfei didn't expect that Liu Renli would send a letter overnight. He thought that something had happened, so he immediately went to see Liu Yan.
He read Liu Renli's letter carefully. The more he read, the more excited he became. In the end, Liu Yunfei couldn't help but slap the table and laugh out loud. However, this sound startled Liu Yan. He quickly bent down.
Liu Yunfei looked at Liu Yan's appearance and laughed even louder. After a while, he stopped and looked at Liu Yan and said, "Liu Yan, you did a good job. You can leave now. Go to the treasury and receive a hundred silver coins. This is my reward for you. I'll have people prepare it. In a while, you'll bring your people back." Liu Yan happily complied and then turned around to leave.
After Liu Yan left, Liu Yunfei immediately had people make arrangements. Food, necessities, servants, and maids were all prepared in the shortest time possible. At the same time, Liu Yunfei also arranged for several experts of the Liu Family to accompany him. Then he called Liu Yan and they immediately left the Liu Mansion. They left the city in the middle of the night and went to the Red Clouds Manor.
The next morning, after Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er woke up, they suddenly discovered that there were many more people in the courtyard. The two of them were both stunned. They couldn't understand why there were so many people in the manor overnight. This caused the two of them to be somewhat at a loss.
Fortunately, the Old Gatekeeper came back at this time. The Old Gatekeeper came back very late last night. When he returned to his room, Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er were already asleep. But because there were a lot of servants today, he didn't have to do everything himself like yesterday. Naturally, he was able to relax, so he took the time to return to his room.
Seeing that Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er were in love, the Old Gatekeeper smiled and said, "Bao' er, Yu 'er, come quickly. We're going to see the mountain gathering wind and clouds. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late."
When Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er heard the Old Gatekeeper, their spirits dropped. They simply washed up and then followed the Old Gatekeeper to the entrance of the manor. When they arrived outside, the two discovered that the sky was still dark. The reason why they woke up so early was because they were woken up by the sounds outside. In addition, there were a lot of lights in the manor, so the two thought that it was already bright outside.
When the Old Gatekeeper led Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er to the entrance of the manor, they discovered that there were a lot of sliding poles parked outside. Sliding poles were unique to the mountains. It looked very simple. It was made up of two bamboo poles and a chair. It was carried by two people. It was necessary for people with status to climb a mountain. This was because sliding poles were more flexible than palanquins. However, it wasn't easy to lift a sliding pole. Whether it was the person who lifted it or the person who sat on it, it required some courage.
After the three of them came out, the old gatekeeper arranged for Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er to be in the group. He told the gatekeeper to take care of them while he stood next to the gate and waited for Liu Renli's group.
Before long, Liu Renli's group came out of the courtyard. Hu Xian 'er was also in the middle of the group. Little Ling' er was next to Hu Xian 'er. When Hu Xian 'er arrived outside, her eyes swept through the crowd and saw Little Crane Grass and Little Yu' er. Hu Xian 'er's face immediately showed a smile. She waved her hand at Little Crane Grass and Little Yu' er and said, "Crane Grass, Yu 'er, come, come to Elder Sister." Upon hearing Hu Xian 'er, whether it was Liu Renli or the Old Gatekeeper, all of them were stunned. Even Liu Renli's friends were stunned. Then they all looked at Little Crane Grass and Little Yu' er.
When Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er heard Hu Xian' er calling them, they were also stunned. Then Little Crane Grass turned his head to look at the Old Gatekeeper. The Old Gatekeeper smiled and nodded. Then Little Crane Grass took Little Yu 'er to Hu Xian' er. Then he pulled Little Yu 'er to Hu Xian' er and said, "Greetings, Miss Hu."
The more Hu Xian 'er looked at Little Crane Grass, the more she liked him. She quickly said, "Crane Grass, Yu' er, quickly get up. There's no need to be so polite with Elder Sister. Also, don't call me Miss Hu. Just call me Elder Sister. We're going to see the scenery. Right, why don't you ride the sliding pole with me? It's very fun to ride the sliding pole. "
Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er didn't know what to say. Right now, the two of them had become the focus of everyone. This kind of feeling, whether it was Little Crane Grass or Little Yu' er, was very uncomfortable. Little Crane Grass was a little better, but Little Yu 'er was a little scared and hid behind Little Crane Grass when so many people stared at her.
At this time, Liu Renli came over and looked at Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er. Then he smiled and said, "Crane Grass, Yu' er, you two are fine. You can ride the sliding pole and follow us up the mountain. Rest assured, Miss Hu, I've already prepared a sliding pole for them." Then he pointed at a sliding pole that looked bigger than a normal sliding pole.
When Hu Xian 'er heard Liu Renli, she nodded and said, "That's for the best. Senior Brother Liu, then let's set off." Liu Renli nodded and invited Hu Xian 'er to ride the sliding pole. He also had Little Crane Grass and Little Yu' er ride the sliding pole. However, they didn't ride the sliding pole. They were Martial Soul Soldiers, so their bodies were very good. Naturally, they wouldn't ride the sliding pole. If they also rode the sliding pole, then not only would they not be able to show their status, they would also be teased by Hu Xian 'er. Therefore, they could only walk.
This was the first time that Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er rode the sliding pole. Sitting on the swaying sliding pole, the two were a bit scared at first. It took them a while to adapt. Then not only were they not scared, they even felt that it was very fun.
Just like this, the group slowly walked towards the Gathering Clouds Mountain. Along the way, they met a lot of people who went up the mountain. When these people saw the group, they automatically gave way. This was because whether it was the servants, or Liu Renli and the other Martial Soul Soldiers, they all showed that their status wasn't ordinary. Nobody wanted to cause trouble, so they naturally gave way.
From the foot of the mountain to the Gathering Clouds Peak, it wasn't very difficult to walk. Although it was a mountain road, because there were often people who came here to watch the scenery, the roads here were very well built. The servants sent by the Liu Family were also people who often walked the mountain roads, especially the ones who carried the sliding pole. They were all veterans. Because of this, they walked very quickly. When the sky was about to turn bright, they had already arrived at the Gathering Clouds Peak.
The Gathering Clouds Peak was artificially excavated into a platform. This platform was very large, about ten thousand square meters. On the platform, there were also several stone buildings. These stone buildings were made by the City Lord's Mansion, they were prepared for people with status who went up the mountain.
