The Long Journey to Immortality

The night before the blind date, Han Lu was practicing her spiritual cultivation at home when Que Xin took the initiative to come to her door.

The idea was to have Han Lu accompany her at the blind date so that she wouldn't be nervous and choose the wrong person.

Han Lu's job was to act as a matchmaker, acting as a lubricant between strangers.

It's not a light bulb.

Such roles are usually played by a close friend or a trusted elder who is not related by blood.

Que Xin only has her powerful grandmother, Que Chuyao, by her side now, so it's not appropriate for her to appear at the matchmaking event.

That's why she remembered Han Lu, whom she had only known for less than three days.

Han Lu, of course, did not refuse.

Que Xin's invitation provided Han Lu with a plausible reason to satisfy her curiosity and get involved in the matchmaking event.

While satisfying her own needs, Han Lu can also help Que Xin find a match and act as a go-between.

"Leave that to me."

After saying this, Han Lu realized that in just a few days after getting to know Que Xin, she had already made several promises.

If Haozun and Quexin are not a good match in the end, and Quexin does not find another suitable husband, then she, as the matchmaker, will be held responsible.

Even so, still carrying some psychological burden, Han Lu was even more nervous than Que Xin when she arrived at the matchmaking event together.

Upon arriving at the venue, Han Lu was just as bewildered as Que Xin.

Fortunately, this bird festival was held in Sanfenglin, which was Han Lu's home turf.

The people responsible for organizing the matchmaking event and maintaining order were all phoenixes from the Three Phoenix Forest.

Han Lu opened her mouth slightly and asked a couple of questions, which helped Que Xin and herself to sort out the situation and understand what to do first and what to do next.

"Quexin," after clarifying the situation, Han Lu pulled Quexin to sit down in a private room in a venue that resembled a buffet. "Now, answer the questions posed on this jade tablet."

This step is to give men and women an opportunity to introduce themselves without feeling awkward.

When introducing yourself, be straightforward about each other's thoughts to avoid being awkward and missing an opportunity to start and develop the conversation.

True Spirit and Warcraft are decisive in their actions.

After listening to Han Lu's words, Que Xin nodded slightly, took the jade tablet from Han Lu's hand, and began to examine the information inside.

The questions presented did not involve privacy and were not significantly different from the questions Han Lu had asked Que Xin a few days ago.

Sparrowheart, who already knew what she needed, was able to answer easily.

In less than ten breaths, Que Xin returned the jade pendant to Han Lu.

Han Lu said, "You wait here, I'll be right back."

After taking the jade pendant and noting down the room number where Que Xin was temporarily staying, Han Lu quickly returned to a large notice board, found the room number where Que Xin was temporarily staying, and hung up Que Xin's jade pendant.

There are already nearly fifty jade plaques on it, all hung up by single men and women who came to participate in the matchmaking event.

It was still early, and according to Han Lu's estimate, there would be at least a hundred jade plaques on this bulletin board by noon.

"Let me see..." Han Lu used her divine sense to scan the jade tablets that were not protected by any restrictions, searching for Hao Zun's name.

In front of this bulletin board, many "matchmakers" with the same identity as Han Lu, as well as those proactive single men, were doing the same thing.

However, they were much more serious than Han Lu, who was only looking for a name.

Especially those "matchmakers" who share the same responsibility as Han Lu, helping relatives or clansmen choose spouses, are a hundred times more serious than when they were choosing wives or husbands for themselves.

Hao Zun came to the Hundred Birds Gathering for two reasons: first, to participate in the chess competition, and second, to attend this matchmaking event.

Given his seriousness and concern for this matter, he naturally arrived at the venue early in the morning and hung his jade pendant on it well in advance.

Han Lu searched for a moment and found the jade pendant that belonged to Hao Zun.

Han Lu almost burst out laughing when she read the message.

Although Hao Zun did not exaggerate his abilities in the jade tablet, he still used a lot of exaggerated rhetoric when introducing himself.

However, when it came to his requirements for a spouse, Hao Zun's answer was not much different from when he mentioned his ideal of love to Han Lu that day.

In short, she can be summed up in one word: "virtuous wife and loving mother".

"They really are a pair." Han Lu smiled gently and then used her divine sense to add a few strokes to the jade pendant.

What Han Lu did was to tell others that Hao Zun had been chosen as her concubine.

Besides passively waiting, strolling around the buffet area is also a good way to promote yourself and take initiative.

Many couples who have already pledged their lives to each other use this method: pretending to meet by chance, and then going with the flow to happily tie the knot.

After Han Lu left her message on the jade tablet and selected Hao Zun's name, Hao Zun learned of the situation through the restrictions set up in the elegant room.

Hao Zun, who was having a lively conversation with one of his uncles in the elegant room, immediately stood up from his seat upon hearing the news.

The uncle standing next to him was also very happy and said, "Xiao Zun, I told you, with your qualities, you're sure to be very popular."

"Don't get excited, calm down, or you'll lose face in front of the woman."

"I'll go check it out for you, make contact with the other party, exchange a few words, and then take you to the woman's room."

After saying that, Hao Zun's uncle left the room.

He had just stepped out of the room when he bumped into Han Lu.

"Was it this fairy who triggered the jade tablet? You are..." Hao Zun's uncle, unaware of Han Lu's identity, asked another question, "For yourself, or for your friends?"

Han Lu cupped her hands in greeting and smiled, "You must be Hao Zun's uncle, Hao Yangmao. Hao Zun mentioned you to me a few days ago. My name is Han Lu, and I'm sure you've heard Hao Zun mention me before, Uncle."

"Now, I've come to deliver a marriage proposal to Haozun."

Chapter 996 Handling with Ease

Hao Zun had, of course, mentioned Han Lu to his uncle Hao Yangmao.

However, he knew what was important and was careful not to talk about it. He didn't tell his uncle about the big events in the Eastern Land. He only said that the young lady of the Illusion Phoenix Clan appreciated him and asked to meet. They talked about Taoist magic, chess, and divination, and they reluctantly became friends.

That's it.

Therefore, when Han Lu arrived with a marriage proposal, Hao Yangmao immediately remembered who Han Lu was and showed her the same respect that Feng You had shown him, despite his cultivation being inferior to Han Lu's.

"So it's Fairy Han. I was blind and didn't recognize you at first," Hao Yangmao returned the greeting with a smile. "I didn't expect Fairy Han to come here to act as a matchmaker and help set up a family. I wonder which of your friends has taken a liking to my good-for-nothing nephew."

Hao Yangmao was very curious about what kind of friend Han Lu was that would make her personally step in to help him find a spouse.

Han Lu said, "A new friend. A few days ago, the patriarch of the Peacock Clan, Senior Que Chuyao, came to Sanfeng Forest. Uncle Hao, do you know about this?"

Han Lu followed Hao Zun's example and also called Hao Gu Niao, who was not related to her by blood but was older and more powerful than her, "uncle".

Hao Yangmao nodded, suddenly realizing, "Oh, is it Quexin, the granddaughter of Chief Chuyao?"

“Exactly,” Han Lu began her work from the top down. “I talked to Que Xin the day before yesterday and found that her thoughts and ideas were similar to Hao Zun’s, so I felt that this was a good match that was likely to succeed.”

"It just so happens that both of them were going to attend a matchmaking event, so here I am."

As Hao Zun's uncle, Hao Yangmao not only cares about Hao Zun's future marital happiness, but also hopes that when Hao Zun marries someone from another tribe, he can bring some benefits and make some contributions to the tribe.

In his view, if Haozun could marry Quexin, it would be a perfect match for both of them.

Hao Yangmao said happily, "If that's really the case, then thank you so much, Fairy Han."

"we are……"

Since Han Lu took the initiative to choose him, Hao Yangmao naturally left the decision of the next activity arrangements to Han Lu.

Han Lu understood what was said, even though it was only half-finished.

With a smile, she laid out her plans in detail, making arrangements for Haozun and Quexin, a couple who had never met before.

The plan was well-thought-out, with both urgent and relaxed parts. Hao Yangmao, the only one among the four who had dated and even married and had children, thought the plan was perfect and very suitable for the "cheerful" Hao Zun.

"Then let's follow Fairy Han's method."

Once the matchmakers have discussed everything, the rest will be easier to proceed.

Han Lu first followed Hao Yangmao into the private room to meet Hao Zun.

Hao Zun was quite surprised to see Han Lu speak.

"Han Fairy...didn't you say you weren't going to participate in the blind date event?" Hao Zun's first reaction was that Han Lu had chosen him and wanted to try and see if they could spark a romance.

Fortunately, the words were vague, and Han Lu did not grasp the deeper meaning.

After Han Lu and Hao Yangmao explained the situation, Hao Zun quickly changed his tune to avoid any misunderstanding.

"So Fairy Han is here to act as a matchmaker at the matchmaking event," Hao Zun thanked her repeatedly. "I wonder what Miss Que Xin you mentioned is?"

"Stop asking, come with me quickly," Han Lu stood up and waved to Hao Zun, "Don't keep them waiting."

Hao Zun wanted to say a few more words, but after thinking about it carefully, he kept quiet. "That's true. I suppose it's something that Fairy Han helped to select and recommend, so it can't be wrong."

Hao Zun has absolute trust in his new friend Han Lu.

Hao Zun and Hao Yangmao followed Han Lu along the corridor for nearly a hundred steps before arriving at the elegant room where Que Xin was.

On the way, when passing by the "buffet area", Han Lu generously used her storage bag to collect all the snacks on it, intending to use them as garnish for Hao Zun and Que Xin's first date later.

In the elegant room, Que Xin had been waiting anxiously for nearly fifteen minutes. Just as she was wondering whether to use her divine sense to communicate with Han Lu, who was in the meeting room, Han Lu's voice came from outside the door.

"Haozun, why don't you fix your hair and straighten your collar? Don't go in looking sloppy and ruin your first impression." Han Lu's voice was loud, and Quexin could tell that she was doing it on purpose.

Que Xin subconsciously brushed the hair that was hanging down by her ear, tidied her appearance, took out a book of poems from her storage bag, and adjusted herself into a relaxed and comfortable sitting posture. She was a little "pretentious" but she was showing her best side.

So, after Hao Zun tidied himself up outside the door and was led into the elegant room by Han Lu, the first thing he saw captivated him.

A serene young girl leans lazily against the back of a soft chair, holding a beautifully bound book of poems.

Her profile, illuminated by the sunlight, exuded a captivating and unique charm.

Although the scene, imbued with a scholarly atmosphere, differed slightly from what Hao Zun had imagined, it did not diminish his attraction to the extremely beautiful girl not far away.

This may be people's yearning for beautiful things.

But it is more likely a primal instinct of a fully developed adult male towards "beauty".

However, no matter what, Que Xin had already gently captured Hao Zun's heart as soon as she appeared.

“Quexin, come here, let me introduce you,” Han Lu turned to the side and pointed to Wu Zun, “This is Hao Zun of the Haogu Bird Clan, the friend I mentioned to you a few days ago who I thought was a good match for you.”
