Chapter 1004: Chapter 2951: Tossing the Embroidered Ball to Choose a Son-in-Law?
"Hmph!" Gu Changsheng squinted her Phoenix Eyes and glanced at Li San. As the Barrier closed, she raised her hand and sent a gust of wind sweeping across...
"Ah!"
A cry of pain followed...
Gu Changsheng wasn’t someone who would let herself be bullied!
To think he could challenge her and walk away unscathed was clearly impossible, especially when she was in a bad mood...
"You... was there really any need for this?" Xuanyuan Mu sighed and couldn’t help but say, "We are merely passersby in this place..."
Xuanyuan Mu understood what Gu Changsheng wanted to do and knew that they wouldn’t linger long in this Middle Realm...
"I just can’t stand that arrogant look on his face!" Gu Changsheng snorted coldly.
Clearly just a penniless scoundrel, yet at crucial moments, he could block others’ paths to extort money. This kind of person needs a little lesson, or he wouldn’t know there’s always someone better out there!
"..." Xuanyuan Mu remained silent upon hearing this.
Both of them were worried about Beibei’s condition and didn’t want to delay further...
The teleportation array Barrier opened. As long as they input the city they wanted to go to, they could arrive in the blink of an eye...
——
Hopeless City.
Hopeless City was different from Crownless City. Although their names were similarly ranked, it was a genuine medium-level city...
Walking out from the teleportation array of Hopeless City, Gu Changsheng immediately felt the prosperity of the city and the spiritual energy overwhelming them...
Medium-level city!
Hopeless City was a genuine medium-level city, with spiritual energy far more potent than the lowest-class Riverwater City, and even the lower-class Crownless City...
"Come see! The finest silk from the north and south..."
"The best jewelry, the most fashionable styles from the City in the Sky!"
"..."
"..."
Walking down the street, it was full of sales pitches.
Gu Changsheng and Xuanyuan Mu were just about to find someone to ask where the Sun Family, where Baobao and Beibei were, was located, when the entire street atmosphere suddenly changed...
"Quick, quick! It’s time, hurry up!"
"Hurry, hurry! If we’re late, we won’t get a good spot!"
"Wait for me, you all wait for me!"
"..."
"..."
Just as Gu Changsheng was pulling someone to ask for directions, the entire street was engulfed in a closing and packing up mood, with everyone seemingly in a rush to do something, all moving in one direction...
"Hey, you guys..."
Gu Changsheng’s raised hand fell empty, looking blankly at the people who ran past her with bewildered eyes.
What’s the rush?
Gu Changsheng turned, silently asking Xuanyuan Mu standing beside her.
"..." Xuanyuan Mu had a puzzled look as well.
This...
It was his first time in Hopeless City, and he hadn’t seen such a scene...
In just a moment, almost everyone on the street had left, with the few remaining people rushing in the same direction...
This...
"Excuse me, may I ask a question..." Gu Changsheng quickly grabbed an old woman running past her and asked eagerly, "Can you tell me what’s the hurry for?"
It’s like the whole city went crazy!
It’s safe to say the entire city is mobilized!
Gu Changsheng was genuinely curious about what they were rushing to do!
Although Gu Changsheng was anxious to find traces of Baobao and Beibei, she had to confirm her daughters were not caught in the crowd of Hopeless City...
"You just got to Hopeless City, right? You don’t know about the big event happening here?" The old woman, pulled by Gu Changsheng, looked anxious. "Nearby cities should have received the news long ago, surely you’re newcomers which is why you don’t know about the big event in Hopeless City. Let me tell you, the youngest daughter of the Sun Family is going to throw the embroidered ball for matchmaking!"
"Sun Family?" Hearing the words Sun Family, Gu Changsheng instinctively squinted her Phoenix Eyes.
If she remembered correctly, Xuanyuan Mu had once told her that her two daughters were taken in by the Sun Family and became adopted daughters?
But she didn’t know if the Sun Family mentioned by this old woman was the same Sun Family she believed it to be...
"Do you know about the youngest daughter of the Sun Family? Don’t be fooled by her youth; her cultivation level has already reached the peak of the Middle Realm. Not only that, but she’s as beautiful as Ru Hua, and her body is full of treasures, always equipped with an endless supply of Miracle Elixirs. Whoever marries the youngest daughter of the Sun Family, it would be hard not to rise in wealth and status; saying it saves thirty years of struggle is an understatement!" The old woman said, freeing herself from Gu Changsheng’s grip, and with an anxious expression, said, "Let go of me, don’t delay my chance to catch the embroidered ball!"
"!!!" Freed from her grip, Gu Changsheng turned her head with a wooden expression, and after a while, looked at Xuanyuan Mu and said, "Did I hear that right?"
The youngest daughter of the Sun Family?
Throwing the embroidered ball for matchmaking?
This...
"Youthful age?" Gu Changsheng swallowed and looked at Xuanyuan Mu, asking eagerly.
This matches the age of her Baobao and Beibei...
"..." Xuanyuan Mu remained silent, his mouth twitching unconsciously.
Clearly, Xuanyuan Mu had the same thought as Gu Changsheng...
"The peak strength of the Middle Realm?" Gu Changsheng took a deep breath.
```
This also fits the unmatched talents of her twin daughters...
Gu Changsheng had long said that, given Baobao and Beibei’s capabilities, reaching the peak cultivation level in the Middle Realm was just a matter of days...
Now it seems, Gu Changsheng has quite a deep understanding of her own daughters!
"How beautiful they are, with Miracle Elixirs on them? Haha, Xuanyuan Mu, are you sure the information you got isn’t wrong? Is Beibei really unwell?" Gu Changsheng took a deep breath and looked at Xuanyuan Mu, asking hesitantly.
With so many coincidences piling up, it was getting difficult for Gu Changsheng to say that the Sun Family’s youngest daughter wasn’t her own...
So...
The news Xuanyuan Mu told her about Beibei being unwell, what kind of baseless rumor was that?
"Well..." Xuanyuan Mu heard this, massaged his temples and replied hesitantly, "The news I got from the City in the Sky was indeed like that, but I don’t know why it’s like this now..."
The information Xuanyuan Mu obtained from the City in the Sky included a notice from the Sun Family, offering ten thousand gold for medical help...
Because of this, Xuanyuan Mu was convinced about the rumor of Beibei’s illness...
But looking at it now...
It seems there has been some misunderstanding...
"The information you got seems mistaken. If Beibei were truly unwell, how could she pull off such a stunt? Tossing an embroidered ball to solicit a husband, huh! This really seems like something those sisters could pull off!" Gu Changsheng snorted coldly, speaking through clenched teeth, "Is this what it means to have daughters maturing in your household?"
This is... seriously...
Maturing too quickly, right?
How old are her daughters?
They haven’t even weaned, not even reached the age of a melon child, and they’re even going to toss an embroidered ball to find a husband?
Gu Changsheng felt her daughters were itching for a spanking!
"..." Xuanyuan Mu heard this, what else could he say?
They didn’t even have time for a proper catch-up before they rushed to Hopeless City, wasn’t it because of the news about Beibei’s poor health?
Now...
Seems they wasted their effort?
"But wait, it’s strange! Even if Beibei were seeking a husband, why is that old granny so anxious? Could she possibly think my daughter would choose her as a son-in-law? Huh?!" In a moment, Gu Changsheng’s expression became quite strange, muttering as she looked toward the direction the old granny left.
"Perhaps... because Baobao and Beibei said it doesn’t matter if it’s male or female?" Xuanyuan Mu hesitated, thinking, then said tentatively.
This was the only explanation, right?
Otherwise, why would that old granny be so ecstatic?
"!!!" Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s expression became even uglier, and finally, she bitingly said, "This is beyond needing a spanking; they’re courting death!"
Doesn’t matter if it’s male or female!
Hmph!
The daughters she painstakingly bore, are they going to be lesbians?
That cannot happen!
That should not happen, absolutely not!
"Let’s go! I want to see what kind of stunt those two little troublemakers are pulling!" Snorting coldly, Gu Changsheng said no more, grabbed Xuanyuan Mu, and chased after the direction the old granny left...
Finding the place where the Sun Family’s youngest daughter was tossing an embroidered ball was exceedingly easy!
Because currently, the whole of Hopeless City appeared deserted, and the remaining pedestrians on the street were all hurrying in one direction. Gu Changsheng and Xuanyuan Mu only had to follow them to effortlessly locate the Sun Family’s place...
Yet...
Before they even got close to the Sun Family, Gu Changsheng and Xuanyuan Mu were startled by the ocean of people before them...
Oh, the people...
Truly...
A sea of heads, one after another, packed the surrounding streets...
Gu Changsheng and Xuanyuan Mu were directly stopped three streets away...
"!!!"
"!!!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath...
Looking at the commotion her daughters had caused, Gu Changsheng had to take a deep breath!
Otherwise, Gu Changsheng feared she might explode!
"Perhaps this isn’t our daughters causing this commotion?" After taking a deep breath, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but look at Xuanyuan Mu...
Gu Changsheng didn’t want to admit that such a noisy, husband-seeking child could be hers!
Really didn’t want to admit it!
"..." Listening to this, Xuanyuan Mu remained silent.
Then, he directly wrapped his arm around Gu Changsheng’s waist and quickly vaulted over roofs and walls towards the center of the crowd...
Once the two rested on a corridor’s eaves, Gu Changsheng turned to look at the center of the crowd...
One look!
Just one look!
Gu Changsheng painfully covered her eyes...
Enough!
In the center of the crowd stood a tall pavilion, and on its terrace, maids were everywhere, encircling the one in the middle...
