Heng'e's matchmaking event was bustling in the verdant tower.

Galuo, watching from high in the sky a hundred miles away, felt uneasy.

"Where did that man come from?"

He looked at Immortal Zhenyuan amidst the crowd, such an outstanding man he had never heard of before.

"I must think of a way to prevent the Goddess from meeting him."

Galuo racked his brain and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"I've got it."

He decided on a plan and disappeared silently.

In front of the verdant tower, the men participating in the matchmaking lined up in a long queue.

Immortal Zhenyuan watched as the number of men queuing up ahead dwindled, feeling puzzled.

"Why hasn't Galuo made his move yet?"

If he didn't act soon, he would pass the selection and enter the verdant tower.

This matchmaking was different from previous ones; guards filled the surroundings of the verdant tower, making it harder for Galuo to act once Immortal Zhenyuan was inside.

"Could it be that our scheme has been seen through?"

Just as Immortal Zhenyuan began to think this, a glamorous young woman carrying a child approached him.

"Hmm?"

Immortal Zhenyuan looked at her doubtfully, wondering why she was glaring at him with such anger.

"You faithless scoundrel!"

As soon as the woman approached, she started cursing Immortal Zhenyuan as a faithless man.

Upon her accusation, Immortal Zhenyuan immediately understood.

"Such a crude tactic."

He thought to himself as he watched the woman berate him.

The woman accused him of abandoning his wife and child to deceive another.

The surrounding crowd, hearing this, caused a huge uproar and began denouncing him.

Immortal Zhenyuan was unbothered, knowing that the woman must have been sent by Galuo to disrupt his match-making.

Unfortunately for Galuo, this method was ineffective against him.

"Since you claim to be my wife."

After the woman finished speaking, Immortal Zhenyuan then asked, "Then tell me, how many moles do I have on my arm?"

The woman was immediately stunned.

"Seems like one, no..."

She corrected herself: "None at all."

Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head, rolled up his sleeve, and revealed his arm.

"I have three."

The crowd saw that there indeed were three black moles.

Those who were insulting Immortal Zhenyuan immediately fell silent and said no more.

Clearly, the woman was deliberately causing trouble.

"You may go back."

Immortal Zhenyuan lowered his sleeve and said, "With such vulgar makeup, how could you ever catch my eye?"

The woman's expression stiffened, and she could only retreat.

The maiden of the verdant tower, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but say, "The Immortal reacts so swiftly."

Sun Wukong nodded.

Immortal Zhenyuan had set a trap for the woman, where whatever she answered, for the ever-transforming Immortal Zhenyuan, would never be the right answer.

Galuo was too naive to think a mortal could trap an Immortal.

Sun Wukong watched the retreating woman, then created a clone and said, "Go follow that woman."

"Yes."

The clone concealed its form and pursued her.

Although the chances of finding Galuo through the woman were slim, Sun Wukong still wanted to try.

After the clone had left, Sun Wukong's gaze moved to a man within the crowd.

"Master, you noticed that strange man too."

The maiden said, "Who is he?"

"A disciple of the Goddess."

Sun Wukong said indifferently, "Perhaps here to supervise."

The Goddess seemed more concerned about this matchmaking event than before, but as long as she didn't disrupt Sun Wukong's plans, he didn't mind much.

After this incident, Immortal Zhenyuan stood in front of the verdant tower, being selected by a Heavenly Dog transformed into a human.

"Sir, you are of great talent; please enter."

Although Heavenly Dog was annoyed with Immortal Zhenyuan, he still let him pass.

Immortal Zhenyuan entered Qingcui Hall under the admiring gazes of the crowd.

Upon entering Qingcui Hall, Immortal Zhenyuan looked around, chose an empty table, and began to wait alone.

"What methods will be used next?"

Immortal Zhenyuan thought about Galuo's matter.

It was rare for him to play the role of bait, it would be boring if the other party did not use some tactics.

After waiting for a while, just as Immortal Zhenyuan was growing impatient, a noisy clamor came from outside.

"His Majesty ordered us to capture the suspect, let us in quickly!"

"We mean no offense to Miss Heng'e, we'll leave once we capture the suspect!"

After listening for a while, Immortal Zhenyuan realized that the King had sent government officers to Qingcui Hall to arrest the suspect.

The suspect was likely him.

Immortal Zhenyuan sipped some tea—the King's orders made this a serious matter.

Should he use a Blinding Technique to make it impossible for these officers to find him?

As the thought crossed his mind, he dismissed it.

He, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, should not shy away!

"Fellow disciple, let them come."

Immortal Zhenyuan transmitted his voice: "I will just sit here, and see how they try to capture me."

Soon after transmitting his voice, the door of Qingcui Hall was opened.

A group of government officers came in.

"There's the suspect!"

The officers immediately spotted Immortal Zhenyuan and walked towards him.

Immortal Zhenyuan calmly continued to drink his tea.

The officers were puzzled by his lack of reaction, but still encircled him, intending to apprehend him.

Something strange happened—they tried to capture him for a long time, but Immortal Zhenyuan remained completely motionless.

"This man knows Daoist Skills!"

The officers were shocked: "We need to go back and report to His Majesty."

They ran out, and soon after, some Taoists entered Qingcui Hall, intending to take Immortal Zhenyuan away.

Immortal Zhenyuan let them use various methods to capture him, but he remained motionless.

The Taoists exchanged glances, shock apparent on their faces.

"This man is no ordinary individual!"

"We must inform His Majesty."

As they were thinking this, Immortal Zhenyuan spoke.

"Tell Your Majesty that I am here for the marriage proposal. As long as he does not provoke me, I will not provoke him."

He scoffed twice: "If someone disrupts Miss Heng'e's marriage event, I will take a trip to the Royal Palace."

The Taoists, frightened by his words, quickly excused themselves.

After that, the matter of capturing the suspect seemed to have fizzled out, and no one disturbed Immortal Zhenyuan.

Immortal Zhenyuan successfully passed the selection, being one of the final three candidates.

"Galuo must be restless now."

Immortal Zhenyuan thought.

At night, the three selected men stayed inside Qingcui Hall, heavily guarded.

Learning from the previous experience, Heng'e had a large number of Taoists protect her future husband, ensuring his safety—at least superficially.

In the deep of night, while the Taoists were still guarding Qingcui Hall, a strange wind suddenly swept through, forcing many to close their eyes.

"What is this wind coming from?"

"It almost blinded me."

The Taoists reacted and began cursing.

Some Taoists later entered Qingcui Hall to check for any anomalies, but found none.

Immortal Zhenyuan was also woken up for questioning. After the Taoists left, he returned to his bed to rest.

Suddenly, a strange presence appeared behind him.

"Who!"

Immortal Zhenyuan turned around and saw a man standing there.

"Who are you?"

Immortal Zhenyuan confirmed.

"Who I am does not matter."

The man smiled: "You, a mere Taoist, really have some nerve to covet the Goddess."
