The scholar's gaze also drifted over, his expression unclear, and he seemed enveloped in a thin mist!

Even though there was no mist, only river water, he still gave off a hazy impression!

Du Jiaolan looked at this scholar, like he was a fairy surrounded by Immortal Qi.

The scholar sipped tea, inhaling the tea's aroma and the river's scent, which contained a trace of Spiritual Energy, prompting him to activate his Cultivation Technique to absorb this unique Qi!

The surrounding men chatted and laughed, as if it had nothing to do with him!

He appeared to be completely different from the people around him!

Perhaps those with the scholar could sense his distinct Qi, so while they chatted quietly, they did not disturb him!

Now on the boat, they couldn't return to the shore immediately, so as time passed, they admired not only the lake's scenery but also the beauties in the lotus pond!

Not every gentleman knew every daughter who came to the social event!

Though they grew up in the Capital City, many people had lived here since childhood, or some had moved from elsewhere!

Or some had always stayed home, rarely participating in events, but as they grew older, they had to attend social events or meet people!

At a certain age, they had to showcase their talents, hoping to meet beautiful women and be admired by a pretty and talented woman!

Of course, many believed they had excellent conditions and would surely find a suitable and beloved wife!

It wasn't about parents' orders or matchmakers' words, forming a union without emotion!

In recent years, many men and women have frequently attended events!

Not every encounter allowed them to meet someone they liked, nor did they always fancy a certain man or woman!

At elders' birthday banquets, some mistresses brought along sons and daughters!

It's an opportunity to show themselves, tempting elders with their sons or daughters, giving them the impression that a certain young man or woman could make a match!

This time, Du Jiaolan targeted that scholar, regardless of whether the scholar was interested in her or the women from their organization.

The main goal was acquiring their Cultivation Technique and Secret Manual, techniques and manuals that even ordinary people could cultivate, whether or not loved by a certain scholar!

This had become less critical; for the sake of their whole organization, even if a certain member did not gain the scholar's favor, they must sacrifice themselves!

Du Jiaolan and her sisters hoped to find a husband where mutual love existed, or that their brothers could marry a noble family girl, with two people in love!

If the sisters failed, they hoped their brothers would be noticed by a certain young lady, who might have also learned these Secret Manuals and Cultivation Techniques!

Initially, Du Jiaolan preferred Tang Feiyang and his sister!

Yet Tang Feiyang was difficult to pursue, further engaged to another woman, with their family equally challenging, and his sister unyielding!

Du Jiaolan and her group had to choose those with slightly weaker abilities, as long as they could learn the Cultivation Technique and Secret Manual!

She secretly noticed, as expected, the scholar was experiencing an Enlightenment on the boat!

As a Martial Artist, whether it was Cultivation or any other cultivation practice, experiencing Enlightenment was rare!

After proving Enlightenment, one could rapidly advance in cultivation, the longer the Enlightenment, the higher the ability would transcend!

Du Jiaolan felt even more impassioned!

Eagerly hoping that once the scholar completed his Enlightenment, he would remember her!

Among so many women, she might not be the most dazzling nor the prettiest!

Perhaps because some of their organization practiced certain Bewitching Techniques, they appeared more graceful.

Within their group, nobody notices anything different, but alongside other noble daughters, they stood out!

Attendees of the banquet had returned to the dining hall, while the scholar remained on the boat by the lotus pond until the banquet ended!

His former companions on the boat had already instructed the sailors to row ashore, disembarking first.

The Enlightened scholar stayed on the boat by the lotus pond, continuously guarded, not completing Enlightenment during the feast!

The scholar's Enlightenment sparked envy, with many secretly whispering!

Du Jiaolan was even more fervent, her heart repeatedly proclaiming, it must be him, she would marry no other!

This man was Tang Feifan, a once frail man, now showing no signs of weakness in a matter of a short period!

Previously unappealing to some daughters due to his frailty, today, this scholar's brilliance dazzled them.

Many were shy, not confessing immediately, even when the occasion called for it, the person concerned was occupied!

Which sister admired whom at the banquet, and how would they plan their next rendezvous?

If someone admired another, they would inform their elders, seeking a matchmaker!

If a woman favored a certain man, they would ask elders to engage a matchmaker.

Du Jiaolan returned home, having planned with her sisters, all favoring the scholar, prompting their mother to find a matchmaker. If the scholar chose one of the sisters or a member of their organization, they would succeed!
