"Let's go!"
After arriving at the gathering location, Wu Qingniang regained her noble appearance and hugged Zhao Fu's arm as they walked into the crowd.
This was a spacious garden, and there were tens of thousands of people here. Luckily, the garden was quite big, or else it would have been too crowded.
Wu Qingniang walking in with her arm around Zhao Fu's, immediately attracting many gazes.
Now that the Ancient Beauty Rankings had been released, countless people were paying attention to it. Wu Qingniang was ranked third, and she was incredibly famous. Everyone present, whether they were from the Ying family's main branch, branch, or collateral branches, wanted to see Wu Qingniang for themselves. Her peerlessly beautiful appearance and demeanor had caused countless people to fall in love with her.
However, they found that she was hugging an ordinary-looking man who wasn't very handsome, and their gazes were filled with enmity and hatred.
Ying Xi was also quite shocked to see her good sister hugging Zhao Fu – she had thought that Wu Qingniang only treated Zhao Fu as an important chess piece, and that she only treated Zhao Fu as a friend.
However, it seemed that Wu Qingniang's feelings for Zhao Fu were not as simple as she had thought.
Thinking back to how intimate she had been with Wu Qingniang and seeing how close she was with Zhao Fu, Ying Xi couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.
The Ying family's other Young Master was a handsome young man called Ying Qin. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but feel hatred. He had been pursuing Wu Qingniang for a long time, not just for her but also for the faction behind her.
However, Wu Qingniang had always been lukewarm towards him, and he had thought that Wu Qingniang was too arrogant and needed to slowly pursue him. However, he had never thought that she would walk in with her arm around a man.
After all, this wasn't a banquet, and there was no need for male companions. Wu Qingniang walking in with her arm around Zhao Fu was quite ambiguous.
… …
Another person coldly looked over – it was Ying Wu, the fake Qin's Legatee. From the first banquet, Ying Wu had treated Wu Qingniang and Su Yuyan as his own women.
In front of Su Yuyan, Wu Jinzhan won. Su Yuyan didn't directly reject him, nor did she express any ambiguity. On the other hand, he couldn't make any progress with Wu Qingniang. Wu Qingniang didn't hide her rejection at all.
Now, seeing Wu Qingniang hugging Zhao Fu so intimately, Ying Wu's heart exploded with rage. Ying Wu had seen Zhao Fu at the first banquet, and he had sent people to investigate Zhao Fu.
He knew that Zhao Fu was just a minor collateral family disciple with no status at all, and that he could easily crush him to death. As such, he did not pay too much attention to Zhao Fu, thinking that Wu Qingniang only treated Zhao Fu as a servant. However, he never would have thought that something like this would happen.
How could Ying Wu not feel hatred towards the women he had long since fallen for? Even though he had many women, none of them could compare to Wu Qingniang and Su Yuyan.
…
At this moment, Zhao Fu's cousin also saw this scene. He turned his head and shouted, "Grandpa! Look at cousin! "
Hearing this, Zhao Fu's grandpa and his family all looked over. When Zhao Fu's grandpa and grandma saw this, they smiled happily. If Zhao Fu could marry such a beautiful woman, he would be incredibly lucky.
However, when they heard the people next to them mention Wu Qingniang's status, their smiling faces immediately became worried – with such a prestigious status, our Fu 'Er might not be good enough for her.
Beside them, Zhao Fu's aunty said, "That's right! Tell Zhao Fu to stay away from her. Small figures like us aren't good enough for her. If we offend those big figures, we might be implicated as well. "
This caused everyone else to feel quite displeased, and Zhao Fu's grandpa angrily yelled, "Don't forget who saved your two sons back then! How dare you speak like that!"
Facing her grandpa's rebuke, Zhao Fu's aunty didn't say anything else.
Facing so many gazes, Zhao Fu felt quite uncomfortable and said, "Qingniang! Can you let go now? "
Wu Qingniang rolled her eyes at Zhao Fu and said, "Do you know how many people want to be like this, but they don't even have a chance?"
Zhao Fu lightly laughed, "Of course I do. She's the third-ranked beauty on the Ancient Beauty Rankings, and countless people dream of marrying her."
Hearing Zhao Fu's words, Wu Qingniang couldn't help but smile. She knew that Zhao Fu wasn't used to this, so she let go.
"Qingniang! Hurry and come over! "Ying Xi called out to Wu Qingniang from above.
Following this, Wu Qingniang walked over. As for Zhao Fu, because of his low status, he didn't have the right to go up there.
Zhao Fu didn't mind, and he decided to find a place to hide so that he wouldn't attract too much attention.
However, just as Zhao Fu took a few steps, he was suddenly pushed by someone, causing him to stumble and almost fall to the ground. A mocking voice sounded out from behind him, saying, "It's best if you stay away from Big Miss Wu. Why don't you take a look at yourself first?"
Zhao Fu deeply breathed in and calmed himself down. He looked at those young men and didn't say anything before finding a remote place to hide and think about how to get through this gathering.
Following this, Zhao Fu saw 30 or so Taoists wearing Taoist robes and holding horsetail whisks walk out. The Ying family was quite courteous to these Taoists, and it seemed that they weren't simple at all.
Zhao Fu became even more careful, and someone announced the rules for this gathering. Those from the main family would go up in groups of three and have their Fate read by the Taoists; those from the side family would go up in groups of 12, and those from the side family would go up in groups of 100.
After hearing these rules, Zhao Fu, who was from the side family, felt that he could bluff his way through, so he waited for an opportunity.
The first people to have their Fate read by the Taoists were the main family's disciples, who were the Young Masters of the various branches. There were four men and two women.
The 30 or so Taoists were led by a long-bearded Taoist – this Taoist was Qiu Fengzi.
This gathering was organized by Qiu Fengzi. On the surface, it seemed like it was for the Ying family to find talents, but in actuality, it was for him to find Legatee Qin.
Ever since he had found out that Legatee Qin was in the Ying family, Qiu Fengzi had tried everything he could to find Zhao Fu, but he had been unable to find him. As such, he could only use this move to find Zhao Fu.
The Ying family happily accepted Qiu Fengzi's suggestion and strongly supported it. After all, reading someone's Fate was not simple – if it was an ordinary person's Fate, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, if it was someone with great status and great Fate, it would cost their lifespan.
The first young man, who was called Ying Qin, walked up to Qiu Fengzi under everyone's gazes.
