Chapter 793 - 310: Seizing the Momentum!
The Great Prosperity Festival will last for three months.
However, the main festival only lasts for the first three days. Except for the first day, which is hosted by Gu Lan, the other two days are hosted by Hui Chen Da Feng Immortal and the couple Star and Moon.
The greatest pressure was resolved on the first day, making everything much smoother afterward.
After the main festival, a large trade exhibition begins. Various new crops, new products, and by-products from the farming clan are showcased one after another. Compared to the last Great Prosperity Festival, this one is larger in scale, with more variety and better quality.
Most importantly, the prices are only half of what they were before.
This value for money is brought by Gu Lan. Her high talent in the Immortal Farmer Skill quickly became evident when she arrived in He Yue Village. Over these thirty or forty years, He Yue Village has undergone a transformative overhaul centering on her.
They managed to cultivate various crops with better quality and higher yields at a lower cost.
This is the farming clan’s greatest confidence in abandoning cooperation with the Terminal Daoist’s forces and offering half-price discounts to other forces.
If it were like before, the farming clan would never have been able to make such a firm decision.
With fewer Terminal Daoist forces, they gained more non-Terminal Daoist forces.
One cooperation contract after another was signed in Dafeng City.
This is undoubtedly a golden autumn of harvest.
...
After changing out of her fancy clothes, and discussing with Taozhu Da Feng Immortal, Gu Lan eagerly went to meet Luo Qingyao.
Even while on the altar, she had seen Luo Qingyao, but due to the occasion and their identities, their gazes hadn’t even met.
"Junior Sister Qingyao!" Gu Lan pressed her palms against Luo Qingyao’s, unable to conceal her joy, "I’ve finally gotten to see you!"
Gu Lan’s gentle brows and graceful figure made Luo Qingyao feel a bit shy.
She felt that Senior Sister Gu Lan’s feminine charm was overwhelming, almost knocking her over.
Back when they were in the Eternal Immortal Sect, Luo Qingyao had always admired Gu Lan. She thought that this senior sister, with her beauty and kindness, seemed to emit a gentle glow all over. At that time, in front of her, Luo Qingyao was inevitably somewhat restrained.
This shyness from her girlhood now had become something that, in retrospect, brought a knowing smile.
Luo Qingyao smiled and said,
"Indeed, this is the Senior Sister Gu Lan I know. On the altar, you were too sacred, only to be admired from afar."
Gu Lan covered her face with a light laugh, "You aren’t the Junior Sister Qingyao I know anymore. The old you was never this polite; you were clearly much more lively."
Luo Qingyao said awkwardly, "I’m this grown-up now; it’s embarrassing to roll around like that."
"Indeed. You’re so tall now." Gu Lan had to tiptoe to be the same height as Luo Qingyao. Back in the Eternal Immortal Sect, she barely reached her eyebrows, "Quite the appearance of a Great Sword Immortal."
The sword gave Luo Qingyao confidence. She chuckled, quite pleased with this compliment.
"And what about me, what about me?" Zhuge Hong suddenly chimed in. She looked at Gu Lan with anticipation, wanting to know how this celestial master would evaluate her.
Although it was their first meeting, Gu Lan had heard of Zhuge Hong’s reputation,
"The Mo Family’s little genius lives up to her name."
"Hehe, Master Lanlan is quite polite..."
Gu Lan was puzzled by this title, "What does that mean?"
Zhuge Hong cheerfully hummed twice, then said,
"Fan Wubing is my master, and you are Fan Wubing’s future wife, so you’re my master! I think Master Gu and Master Lan are not intimate enough, so Master Lanlan it is."
Gu Lan paused, "He’s already taken a disciple. But this term of address is rather embarrassing. Maybe don’t call me that."
"Then, Master Lan’Er?"
"Even more embarrassing."
Zhuge Hong pondered, holding her chin, "Master Xiao Lan?"
Gu Lan laughed, "Let’s stick with Master Lan. Sorry, it’s tough because my name is only two characters."
"Master Lan is indeed gentle." Zhuge Hong murmured, "The rumors are true."
"What rumors?" Gu Lan asked curiously.
"The rumor is that the master can’t resist gentle big sisters! Master Lan is a gentle big sister, and Master Manman is not a big sister, but to the master, she is gentle, not a sister, but better than a sister!" Zhuge Hong said excitedly as if she had solved a mystery, "And besides, he has Fu Ming and An An, two senior sisters... Ow!"
Zhuge Hong covered her head, looking aggrievedly at Luo Qingyao,
"Why hit me?"
Luo Qingyao said with a dark expression, "Sorry. I’m neither gentle nor a big sister."
But Zhuge Hong said,
"Doesn’t that make Junior Sister Qingyao all the more uniquely charming? Not being a gentle big sister, yet still able to move Master’s heart means you’re one of a kind!"
Luo Qingyao pinched her nose, saying, "Stop it!"
Gu Lan watched them with a smile. She could tell that though Luo Qingyao’s words said otherwise, her heart was indeed happy. She couldn’t help thinking, Junior Brother Wubing’s little disciple is a clever one.
Seeing Gu Lan looking around, Luo Qingyao regretfully said,
"Sorry, Senior Sister Gu Lan. Senior Brother didn’t come with us."
Gu Lan, however, was not disappointed, smiling and saying,
"He’s here. He must be hiding somewhere watching us now."
"I know, I know!" Zhuge Hong suddenly rushed to a spot, snatched at the air, and pulled vigorously.
Then, Fan Wubing and An An were pulled out by her.
Fan Wubing was quite helpless. His concealment skills could fool many of the powerful beings at the Great Prosperity Festival, yet Zhuge Hong’s intuition could never be dodged. This one always found a way to spot him first.
Zhuge Hong raised her two little pinkies with disdain,
"Master, you’re such a big man, always hiding in the dark watching girls sneakily!"
