After passing through several long corridors, several exquisite courtyards appeared in front of them, and Yuan Tianwei lived in one of them.
Knocked on the courtyard door.
After waiting for about three breaths, a maid gently opened the courtyard door.
The moment she saw Liu Wuxie, the maid let out a scream.
That day, she and her young lady were traveling around the world and met a painting master from a ghost master's sect. Fortunately, Liu Wuxie showed up and prevented her young lady from being deceived.
"Xiaoqing, what happened? Why are you shouting?"
It was the voice of Yuan Tianwei, who was admiring flowers in the yard, with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
"Yes... Mr. Liu is here."
The maid named Xiaoqing stuttered when she spoke.
Upon hearing the words Mr. Liu, Yuan Tianwei's delicate body swayed, and a trace of nervousness appeared on her face.
The courtyard door opened, and Liu Wuxie walked directly into the courtyard. Yuan Tianwei, with her back to him, was pruning a flower tree.
"I've met Miss Yuan!"
Although Yuan Tianwei is the guest elder of Baguio Palace, Liu Wuxie still habitually calls Miss Yuan many times.
Psychologically speaking, Liu Wuxie has always regarded her as his junior.
But there are some words that cannot be explained clearly.
"Xiao Qing, go make tea for Young Master Liu!"
Yuan Tianwei turned around, her face returned to normal, and she still looked cold.
When she left Baguio Palace, she had already resigned from her position as guest elder.
The maid named Xiaoqing left quickly, leaving Liu Wuxie and Yuan Tianwei alone in the yard.
"sit down!"
There is a stone table and four stone benches in the courtyard. Yuan Tianwei sat down first.
Liu Wuxie sat opposite Yuan Tianwei and looked at each other. Yuan Tianwei quickly avoided looking at her, unwilling to look at Liu Wuxie.
"This is all my fault for causing you to be blamed."
After Liu Wuxie sat down, she looked apologetic.
If he had come earlier and explained clearly, the matter would not have escalated to this extent.
"It has nothing to do with you!"
Yuan Tianwei shook his head. Even if there was no such thing, there would be other things. This time it was obviously for their Yuan family.
"Don't worry, I will explain clearly in public. There is innocence between us."
Liu Wuxie sounded reassuring, and with his current reputation and prestige, he stood up to clarify that even if he couldn't turn things around, he could still make the rumors collapse.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Yuan Tianwei shook his head. The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say anything.
Xiaoqing walked in with a cup of tea at this time, and the two of them were silent for a while.
Yuan Tianwei looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and Liu Wuxie always felt that Yuan Tianwei was hiding something from her.
If the other party doesn't say anything, it's hard for me to ask.
"Master Liu, please have some tea!"
After Xiaoqing put down the fragrant tea, she became very enthusiastic towards Liu Wuxie.
"Thanks!"
Liu Wuxie nodded, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"Miss, do you need to prepare some food and wine to entertain Mr. Liu?"
Xiaoqing looked at Yuan Tianwei.
"No, you can go down."
Yuan Tianwei waved his hand, and it seemed that he had no intention of retaining Liu Wuxie for a long time.
Xiaoqing bowed and retreated, gently closed the courtyard door and stood guard outside, not allowing anyone else to approach.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Since Yuan Tianwei didn't take the initiative to speak, Liu Wuxie had no choice but to ask.
"You came to me just to explain this matter?"
Yuan Tianwei changed the subject and asked Liu Wuxie.
"kindness!"
Liu Wuxie nodded. He came to Yuan's house just to clear Yuan Tianwei's name.
Strangely, Yuan Tianwei's beautiful face showed a hint of disappointment.
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of miles around Giant Spirit City, she is the most beautiful woman, and many men are fascinated by her.
No man's eyes would shine when he saw her, but Liu Wuxie's face was as calm as water.
"I appreciate your kindness. You can leave now."
After Yuan Tianwei finished speaking, she stood up and issued an eviction order, indicating that Liu Wuxie could leave.
This made Liu Wuxie even more confused as to what happened to the Yuan family and how Yuan Tianwei would become like this.
"I live in Giant Spirit City. If you need anything, just come to me."
Since Yuan Tianwei didn't say anything, he couldn't force himself, so he stood up and hugged Yuan Tianwei.
"I won't give it away!"
Yuan Tianwei did not move, sitting quietly.
The moment Liu Wuxie turned around, two drops of clear tears fell from the corners of Yuan Tianwei's eyes.
"Are you done talking?"
Seeing Liu Wuxie come out, Xiaoqing looked confused. Seeing each other again after a long separation, shouldn't the two of them have a long talk?
"kindness!"
Liu Wuxie nodded and walked outside along the original path.
Since the Yuan family does not welcome him, there is no point in continuing to stay here.
When the time comes, he will tell the world that he and Yuan Tianwei are innocent. There is only so much he can do.
Unless the Yuan family is in a life-or-death crisis, for the sake of the Painting Saint, he might help.
"Mr. Liu, didn't you come to participate in the art of painting to attract a bride?"
Xiao Qing did not return to the courtyard, but followed Liu Wuxie and asked softly.
"Drawing skills attract marriage?"
Liu Wuxie suddenly stopped, looking confused.
He just arrived at Giant Spirit City yesterday and has little idea of what happened here.
I just had a brief chat with Yuan Fengnan.
As for drawing to attract a bride, this is the first time I heard about it.
"Master Liu, please come with me!"
There were many people here, and servants often passed by. Xiaoqing took Liu Wuxie's arm and walked to a remote corner.
Usually no one comes here. Xiaoqing glanced around to make sure there was no one, and suddenly lowered her voice and said:
"Mr. Liu, the Yuan family will hold a painting competition the day after tomorrow, and whoever comes first will be able to marry the young lady."
After Xiao Qing finished speaking, there was a trace of pain on his face.
Liu Wuxie frowned, what was the Yuan family doing? With Yuan Tianwei's identity and status, how many people wanted to marry her, why did they use this method.
In the past few years, I don’t know how many young talents have come to propose marriage, including those who are the proud sons of the first-class sects, and the direct sons and grandsons of the first-class family heads.
But the strange thing is that they were all rejected by Yuan Tianwei.
"Why did the Yuan family do this?"
Liu Wuxie asked Xiaoqing.
The Yuan family must have some purpose in doing this.
"I don't know the details, but I want to tell you that the lady likes you very much. You must come to participate in the painting competition to recruit a bride. If you don't get the first place, the lady will definitely be upset."
This is a big family matter, how dare a little maid dare to belittle herself?
Moreover, even many ordinary disciples cannot understand this matter, let alone the identity of a maid.
But Xiao Qing knew that the young lady had always secretly liked Liu Wuxie, and there were several portraits of Liu Wuxie in her room.
When I have nothing to do, I just stare at the portrait in a daze.
Xiaoqing has been serving the lady for more than ten years and has a very clear understanding of her character.
If you don't particularly like a person, you won't be able to keep portraits of other men in your boudoir.
"Does your lady like me?"
There was an expression of disbelief on Liu Wuxie's face.
Yuan Tianwei has always been cold to him, and there has been a lack of communication between the two.
"I won't tell you anymore, lest the young lady will become suspicious later. If you don't want to see that the young lady is in trouble, you must find a way to get the first place in the painting skills."
After Xiaoqing finished speaking, he quickly left.
Liu Wuxie was left standing there alone in a daze.
I planned to explain clearly and leave Giant Spirit City tomorrow.
Xiaoqing's words made him fall into deep thought.
It is not difficult to tell from Xiaoqing's tone that Yuan Tianwei is disheartened.
I plan to wait until the marriage recruitment through painting is over, and then choose to end it on my own.
He didn't even know how he left Yuan's house. He returned to the street, quickly took out his face-changing beads, and changed his appearance.
As long as there is no fighting, even the Immortal Lord will not be able to detect his existence.
The face-changing bead can change into any form. When Liu Wuxie walked through the streets, he changed several faces in succession before getting rid of the eyeliner behind him.
I originally planned to go to Yuan Fengnan to ask clearly, but it was not difficult to tell from the tone of Yuan Fengnan's conversation with me that he seemed unwilling to reveal too much information.
Find an inn closest to the Yuan family, stay there temporarily, and inquire about the Yuan family's situation.
If the painting saint knew that the Yuan family had become like this, he would probably be furious to death.
Sitting in the room, Liu Wuxie paced back and forth.
I racked my brain and couldn't figure out what happened to the Yuan family.
Just at this time, a waiter passed by and brought a table of wine and food to the room next door.
"Waiter, bring me some food and wine."
Liu Wuxie stopped the waiter and asked him to prepare some for himself.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"
After the waiter finished speaking, he quickly went to work.
After waiting for about tea time, several exquisite side dishes and a pot of good wine were brought in.
"Boy, sit down and have a drink with me. It's boring for me to drink alone."
Liu Wuxie invited the waiter to sit down and drink with him.
This inn is only five hundred meters away from Yuan's house, not far apart, and the inn and restaurant are the places where news spreads the fastest.
Although the waiter's cultivation level is not high, he must know some things about the Yuan family.
"Isn't this bad?"
The waiter was a little hesitant.
It was the first time I encountered such a strange guest.
"After you finish drinking with me, these are yours."
Liu Wuxie took out a thousand fairy stones and placed them aside.
The waiter is just an ordinary person, living at the bottom and barely surviving by earning a meager income.
One thousand immortal stones is already a huge amount of income for him.
"I'm going to say hello to the shopkeeper and I'll be right back."
For the sake of the fairy stone, the waiter decided to drink with Liu Wuxie.
In less than a moment, the waiter came in wearing a set of clean clothes.
"sit!"
Seeing that the waiter was a little reserved, Liu Wuxie took the initiative to invite him to sit down.
"I'll pour wine for you!"
The waiter picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Liu Wuxie himself.
Liu Wuxie transformed into a young man in his mid-twenties, so it was appropriate to call him Young Master.
"I'll give you a drink, sir!"
The waiter picked up the wine glass and offered Liu Wuxie a toast.
Liu Wuxie did not speak in a hurry, gently picked up the cup and drank the wine in one gulp.
The waiter continued to pour wine for Liu Wuxie. Maybe after a glass of wine, he gradually became familiar with Liu Wuxie and spoke much more casually:
"Young master must have come here because of the Yuan family's painting skills."
After filling Liu Wuxie's glass of wine, the waiter thought that Liu Wuxie was here because of his painting skills.
There are many young talents like Liu Wuxie living in the inn. They all have the same purpose, to participate in the Yuan family's painting skills to recruit a bride.
"That's right!" Liu Wuxie's eyes lit up. He was still thinking about how to speak. Since the other party took the initiative to bring up this topic, he just had to continue talking.
