Chapter 1766: Chapter 1746: The Evil Immortal Essence Pill, Who Made It to Torture Us_1 Chapter 1766: Chapter 1746: The Evil Immortal Essence Pill, Who Made It to Torture Us_1 Standing in front of these gentlemen, Feng Liu took the initiative to speak as a sister-in-law, helping Lin Jinlei out of his predicament.
“How about this, I'll take the flowers for you first. Later in the talent competition among the noble ladies, the two young ladies will also perform. Whichever lady Ninth Brother is fond of, just have someone return the flower branch to her. Sounds good?”
“As you please, Sister. Jinlei has no objections.”
Lin Jinlei took a deep breath, cupping his hands in gratitude.
“Ladies, please follow me.”
Jiang Manyun politely invited them and floated forward, leading the way in front.
Xie Xueying and Xu Biyao naturally couldn't refuse. They handed their flower branches to Feng Liu and, with blushing cheeks, followed her away.
Various thoughts ran through the minds of the noble ladies gathering outside the Martial Arts Arena who had heard about the talent competition.
Some were eager to compete and outshine others in their skills, knowing that many among them would do well in the competition.
Others who lacked the skills were filled with regret, wishing they could have done better.

As the talent competition began, melodious and pleasant tunes filled the air in the backyard. Lin Qingluo, grinning from ear to ear, beckoned Lin Jinlei to the side for a quiet conversation between brother and sister.
“Xie Xueying and Xu Biyao, both in terms of their family backgrounds and appearances, are the most outstanding among all the noble ladies. Ninth Brother, you might want to consider them seriously.”
“Even if that's the case.”
Lin Jinlei's cheeks flushed red in embarrassment as he rarely displayed such a helpless look in front of his sister.
“I wasn't prepared at all. I'd originally planned to just make an appearance with Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother at the Martial Arts Arena. I never thought something like this would happen to me.”
“There's no need for you to decide in haste.”
Lin Qingluo reassured him with a smile, “Later, Sister-in-law will come forward and invite the two ladies to stay at our home for a while. You can interact with them and see if you like each other. If everything goes well, finalize the marriage; if not, just forget about it.”
Lin Jinlei's heart trembled, “Both of them will stay?”
“Since you can't decide, naturally both of them will stay.”
Lin Qingluo teased him with an amused look.
“No way.”
Lin Jinlei firmly refused, “I can't even handle one person, let alone two. There's no way we're letting both of them stay at Lin Residence.”
“It's up to you.”
Lin Qingluo mischievously grinned, “Which one would you like to stay?”
“Let Sister decide, Jinlei trusts Sister's judgment.”
Lin Jinlei suddenly had a bright idea, throwing the burden onto his sister's shoulders.
“You sure know how to pass the buck.”
Laughing in exasperation, Lin Qingluo poked his forehead and chided, “It's your lifelong decision, and you don't even worry about it. Who can help you with that?”
“I guess it'll be Xie Xueying then.”
Lin Jinlei touched his forehead and smiled bitterly.
Lin Qingluo rejoiced inwardly, “Do you think she's more suitable?”
“At first glance, she seems pleasant to the eye.”
Lin Jinlei muttered in a low voice, “Her makeup isn't too thick, so she doesn't look that scary.”
“Pfft.”
Lin Qingluo couldn't hold back her laughter.
“Sister.”
Lin Jinlei's lips twitched, wanting to struggle some more, “Do we really have to let her stay?”
“We must.”
Lin Qingluo stopped laughing, her tone full of righteous sincerity, “Otherwise, how can we justify our actions to Grandmother? As the younger generation, we should also consider our elders, right? Starting a family and making a living is also an expression of filial piety.”
“Ugh.”
Lin Jinlei helplessly stared at his sister.
“There's no need to sigh like that.”
Holding back her laughter, Lin Qingluo met his pitiful gaze and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
“Sister is doing this for your benefit. Don't forget the Immortal Essence Pill. With a marriage proposal and increased mana, how wonderful it will be to practice in the Immortal Palace! It's something that others would envy.”
The terrible Immortal Essence Pill!
Who's torturing us with their invention, ah ah ah!
Lin Jinlei wailed, completely admitting defeat.
