Duan Ye nodded and said to the two, "Have someone prepare hot water for bathing in the evening."
Lu Xiyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then responded: "Yes, I've got that. Then let's go back first and not disturb Uncle Duan's rest." After saying that, the two of them bowed and then turned to leave.
After the two left, Duan Ye also went back to his room to rest. Ruan Ru, who walked out of the yard, couldn't help but say, "When we were in the sect, we all heard that Uncle Duan didn't like women and was cold to others. I didn't expect him to be so attentive to the ghost doctor."
"So, we can't just believe rumors. We have to see everything with our own eyes." Lu Xiyan said with a smile, "Just now, Master Duan said that he would help find the evil cultivator who killed female cultivators in the city recently. With Master Duan's words, I think the people in the city will no longer be so panic-stricken soon."
"Yes! This time it was really a coincidence that Uncle Duan happened to pass by here. Otherwise, with our status in the sect, it would be difficult to ask Uncle Duan for help."
The two of them went back to the courtyard while talking, and until the evening, they asked the servants to prepare bathing water and send it over. When it was getting dark, the two of them went to the courtyard to wait for them.
Under the cover of night, a banquet was set up in the City Lord's Mansion. Many monks were chatting and laughing at the table, and servants brought wine and food one after another. At this time, the City Lord was announced, and everyone stood up.
"City Lord Lu." Everyone smiled and bowed.
"Haha, everyone, no need to be polite. Please take a seat." City Lord Lu smiled and returned the greeting. He asked everyone to sit down. He glanced around and saw that there were a few empty seats in front. He couldn't help but look at the housekeeper beside him: "Xi Yan hasn't come yet?"
"Master, the young lady has gone to see Master Duan. She should be here soon." The butler said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the city lord nodded slightly and sat down, saying to everyone: "Everyone, thank you for your kindness. This time, I have to trouble you. Here, Lu will first offer a toast to you all."
"You're too polite, City Lord Lu." Everyone said with a smile, raised their glasses to gesture, and drank it all in one gulp.
At this time, some people saw Duan Ye and started to discuss: "Why hasn't Fairy Duan come yet?"
"It should be here soon, right? I heard Miss Lu went to invite her."
“Haha, Mr. Duan is too arrogant. Since he knew there was a banquet tonight, he still asked Miss Lu to invite us. He is really putting on airs…” The man who spoke shook his head.
Yi Xiu Ran was sitting alone, drinking wine and listening to what those people said without paying any attention. He just gently shook the wine glass in his hand and played with it with boredom.
"Dad, Uncle Duan is here."
Lu Xiyan's voice was heard, and everyone looked over. They saw that Lu Xiyan and Ruan Ru were walking in front, and behind her, Duan Ye and a beautiful woman in red were walking slowly and leisurely.
When they saw the woman in red, the monks were a little surprised, and many of them had a look of amazement in their eyes.
Who was this woman? Why had they never seen her during the day? She was dressed in red, with a graceful and lazy figure. Her beautiful face and the dazzling red dress gave her a charming and evil aura that made them unable to look away. They were moved and amazed.
However, they soon discovered that something was not right. There was no trace of spiritual energy on this woman. Could she be just an ordinary mortal
