Chapter 9: The Trouble Maker Xiao Jun
Initially, Lan Ruoxuan and Azure Drift were somewhat puzzled, but upon seeing the fiery red garment in Xi Men Yu Ying's hands, they began to understand.
However, Azure Drift lamented, "Yuying, why don't you know how to sew a women's outfit?"
Pfft~~~
Lian Yun felt utterly despondent.
Xi Men Yu Ying, with her eyes sparkling, said somewhat aggrieved, "How about we change it now?"
"If we change it, I won't wear it!" Lian Yun quickly declared, her heart trembling.
"Alright, alright, no changes then! We'll go with what you prefer!" Xi Men Yu Ying hurriedly appeased her. Then she exchanged glances with the others, and the three of them lunged forward, their six magical claws violently tugging at Lian Yun's clothes.
"This is a fitted outfit; there's no need to take it off." Lian Yun said helplessly while trying to keep her fitted attire in place.
"Uh~~ that might not be good. Even if it's a fitted outfit, it could disrupt the beauty of the lines! If this minor flaw ruins Yixuan's artistic vision, what shall we do?" Azure Drift said seriously from the side.
At first, Xi Men Yu Ying felt a bit regretful and aggrieved. Upon hearing this, she nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at grains. "Yes, yes! We can't have any flaws!"
Lian Yun looked at Azure Drift in disbelief. Logically speaking, this person must be at least in her forties or fifties; how could she be so shameless? It was utterly exasperating.
Desperately seeking help, Lian Yun turned to Lan Ruoxuan.
Suddenly, Lan Ruoxuan stood up and said expressionlessly, "Having been here for so long, it's time to walk around the pavilion and see other people."
"Hehe! I'll accompany you, sister!" Azure Drift cheerfully linked arms with Lan Ruoxuan and walked away~~
Why is this happening?! Lian Yun was confused and dumbfounded. Looking at the smirking expressions of Xi Men Yu Ying and the other two women, she nearly lost her mind.
Regret washed over him for having performed that sword dance.
However, Lian Yun would not allow Xi Men Yu Ying and her companions to manipulate him, after all, there were boundaries between men and women.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the garments from Xi Men Yu Ying's grasp, then vanished. When he reappeared, he was clad in a disheveled outfit of fiery red.
The three women were greatly disappointed but quickly rallied together to help Lian Yun dress properly. Moreover, Xi Men Yu Ying produced some rouge and powder.
Lian Yun's eyes widened in surprise.
At that moment, Xi Men Yu Ying felt emboldened and shot him a defiant glare, saying, "You're not the first handsome man, so of course you need a bit of light makeup. Don't worry, it's definitely not feminine."
Without waiting for his response, she began applying it to his face. Once finished, she revealed a long sword of bright red.
"I only use Wu Tai," Lian Yun said flatly, though his tone was resolute.
Xi Men Yu Ying sensed his mindset but after a brief silence, she replied, "It's just a dance with swords, not a battle. Besides, your insistence on keeping it in your heart is enough; why be so rigid about the form?"
At that moment, within the Yin-Yang Stage, Taiwu emanated an indifferent attitude. As long as it knew Lian Yun's intentions towards it, the formalities mattered little.
Thus, Lian Yun reluctantly took hold of the fiery red sword.
Then the other two women seemed to have their own ideas; one produced a set of accessories while the other exclaimed, "I remember that beautiful sister has a scarf with a stunning phoenix pattern. I'll go borrow it!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she had already dashed off.
At this point, Lian Yun couldn't afford to think too much; he just wanted to calm his mind and avoid disrupting Meng Yixuan's important matters.
Before long, the woman returned, panting, and the three girls quickly helped Lian Yun with his attire, binding it in such a way that it created an overall harmonious appearance, exuding the charm of a handsome figure from ancient times.
To be honest, while Lian Yun was indeed handsome, he could not be considered the most beautiful man, much like Xi Men Yu Ying. At the very least, Xiao Jun was far more striking than Lian Yun.
However, at this moment, Lian Yun gave off a unique sense of déjà vu and dreaminess.
With his tall and well-proportioned figure standing straight, he possessed an extraordinary demeanor. Dressed in a fiery red outfit and adorned with a phoenix headscarf, his originally oval face now bore the elegance of a woman disguised as a man, yet there was also a hint of softness reminiscent of a man dressed as a woman.
It seemed somewhat out of place, yet there was an intriguing allure to it. The more one looked, the more captivating it became.
There was also an indescribable air of nobility about him. This was evident from the increasingly infatuated gazes of the three girls.
In response to this attention, Lian Yun chose to ignore them and turned to leave with a wave of his hand. However, as he turned, the hem of his trousers swayed gracefully, leaving an impression of ethereal elegance.
Naturally, the three girls followed him with smiles on their faces.
Initially, many strong individuals had scoffed at attending Meng Yixuan's performance and were ready to leave. However, upon hearing Meng Yixuan's earlier words about Lian Yun's appearance, they decided to stay.
When they finally saw Lian Yun in his splendid attire and slightly made-up face, many displayed awkward expressions.
Fortunately, Lian Yun's extraordinary background naturally endowed him with an air of nobility. Thus, despite the stark contrast between his current appearance and that of others, he did not evoke the feeling of someone wearing a Dragon Robe who looked nothing like a prince.
Outsiders had primarily remembered Lian Yun's previous plain black clothing; now in his extravagant attire—vibrant and somewhat dazzling—it felt a bit overwhelming.
Lian Yun paid no mind to the crowd. After initially struggling without success, he had embraced a sense of acceptance.
He walked directly to the circular platform that had risen in the center of the first-floor hall and sat down before Meng Yixuan to meditate and adjust his mindset.
Xi Men Yu Ying and the two women moved to the front, positioning themselves closest to Lian Yun, their faces reflecting the adoration of die-hard fans.
Meng Yixuan gazed at Lian Yun's back, a gentle smile spreading across her face as she felt a sense of satisfaction. She then began to play. Unlike Lan Ruoxuan, who would let the music flow with an immediate sense of inspiration, she needed time to cultivate her emotions.
As Lian Yun listened to the melody, she slowly sought the feeling that had once prompted her to dance with a sword, letting go of any awkward thoughts.
The first rendition was beautiful, yet for some skilled individuals lacking in sentiment, it felt rather dull.
By the second round, many were already feeling bored and began to rise, preparing to leave. However, the sudden appearance of Xiao Jun, clad in Silver Dragon Armor, along with Yao Yun'er and Elder Mei, drew everyone's attention back. Many hurriedly sat down again, primarily fixated on Xiao Jun's striking outfit as if they wanted to see through it entirely.
Xi Men Yu Ying opened her mouth and fiercely declared, "You're here to cause trouble, aren't you?"
Though no sound emerged, her lips clearly formed the words. Even without seeing her mouth move, her fierce expression conveyed an unmistakable intent to drive Xiao Jun away.
Yet Xiao Jun merely smiled calmly and shook his head slightly. Then, with a sudden wave of his hand, a multitude of birds—sparrows, cranes, swallows, doves, and many others—appeared on the platform.
