Lin Qingluo was calm and elegant, instructing softly, “Go to the winery and bring Manyun here.”
“Yes.”
The servant glanced at True Master Xuan Yi, understood the situation, and ran off like the wind.
At the same time, a frustrated voice came to Xuan Yi's ear from the woman in blue, “Master, the winery's daily limit of two thousand bottles of Spiritual Wine is sold out early in the mornings, and reservations are scheduled for two months later. Additionally, each person can only reserve one bottle of wine at a time.”
“Understood.”
True Master Xuan Yi's eyes flickered, and he softly instructed: “Wait there and come over with the person in charge of the winery, and try to sound her out in the process.”
“Yes.”
The woman in blue comprehended the intention and immediately cut off the mental transmission.

Jiang Manyun arrived quickly, and the woman in blue who came with her was Xuan Yi's personal disciple, Lan Yanyue.
Lan Yanyue was at the Nascent Soul mid-stage, and as her name implied, she liked to wear blue clothing. Her movements were graceful and elegant, and she had an extraordinary appearance that earned her the reputation of a fairy of the moon in the Universe Immortal Palace.
Jiang Manyun was charming and captivating, with every frown and smile full of allure. As she walked side by side with Lan Yanyue, one was enchanting, and the other was elegant, making a striking pair of beauties.
The two walked along the paved path, through the vineyard, and entered the Lin Residence's side entrance.
They chatted and laughed along the way, seemingly harmonious, but each had a secret agenda.
Lan Yanyue pretended to be ignorant of the ways of the world and deliberately inquired about the business operations of the winery.
Jiang Manyun was as shrewd and sharp as Lin Qingluo, evading every question with grace, answering without giving anything away.
“Manyun is here.”
The two women passed by the Lotus Pond, appearing in sight.
Lin Qingluo looked up, her bright eyes scanning the two distinctive beauties, and she smiled warmly and charmingly.
She truly enjoyed admiring beautiful things, whether male or female.
Even wolves in sheep's clothing, as long as they were outwardly beautiful, she was interested in appreciating them.
“Master.”
“Greetings to the True Master.”
As the two women approached, they bowed respectfully to True Master Xuan Yi.
“Immortal Jiang, there's no need to be formal.”
Xuan Yi's gaze fell on Jiang Manyun's stunning face, and for a moment, he was taken aback by a sudden extraordinary thought. It was as if he had seen her somewhere before.
In an instant, a flash of realization struck him. He took a deep breath, and his gaze at Jiang Manyun became more profound.
Indeed, he had seen her before.
A few months ago, the Clan Patriarch of the Jiang Clan had brought several scrolls and personally visited Universe Immortal Palace to discuss a marriage alliance.
He was supposed to choose a granddaughter from the scrolls to be his concubine.
One of the women in the portrait was Jiang Manyun.
At that time, he didn't care much about the marriage proposal, so he only glanced at it briefly and didn't finalize anything.
Thinking about it now, if he could marry her as his concubine and control the wine business, it would be a good strategy.
“True Master?”
Lin Qingluo's keen intuition sensed something was amiss the very second he looked at Jiang Manyun and became lost in thought, so she deliberately interrupted his reverie.
“Oh.”
Xuan Yi was jolted back to reality, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
“Manyun, how much wine does the winery currently have in stock?”
Lin Qingluo pretended not to care, giving Jiang Manyun a knowing look.
Jiang Manyun understood, answering straight-faced, “All in all, there are only twenty-three thousand bottles.”
“That's it?”
Lan Yanyue muttered quietly, slightly displeased, “We traveled all the way from Spirit Boat Continent just to buy so little wine? It's really not worth it.”
