As Luo Yu erged, the clamorous young n surrounding her fell silent in an instant.
The Clan Leader Baihe and his clan mbers also looked at Luo Yu with curiosity.
They wanted to know what he would say.
Bai Chenxiang, gritting her silver teeth in resistance, said, "Grandfather, even if you invite the man in, I still won’t carelessly be with just any man."
"It’s rude, first see what our guest has to say," Clan Leader Baihe scolded, stroking his beard whilst giving his granddaughter a stern look.
Luo Yu surveyed the surroundings and began to speak slowly:
"In all my life, I have understood that a lon forced off its vine is not sweet."
"Since Miss Bai is so averse to marriage, naturally, I will not impose myself shalessly."
"Clan Leader Bai, while you may invite into the hall, you can’t invite into Miss Bai’s heart."
"Therefore, please forgive for taking my leave, as I shall not trouble you further today."
There was silence all around, nobody expected the extravagantly generous Luo Yu to utter such polite and respectful words.
His sincerity and adherence to social etiquette were impeccable, leaving no room for criticism.
This eloquence was sothing the surrounding n lacked.
Even the indignant and apathetic Bai Chenxiang was taken aback, completely unprepared for Luo Yu’s understanding nature.
She couldn’t help but take another look at him, feeling that this man might be quite different from the vulgar crowd around her.
Sowhat special.
Looking again at Luo Yu’s incomparable handso features, his composed and dignified manner of speech, and not to ntion the three mountains of gold by his side emphasizing his power.
Bai Chenxiang’s resistance towards Luo Yu dissipated, replaced by curiosity.
Curious about what kind of man he was.
Luo Yu, who had been observing the young lady’s subtle expressions, almost smiled.
In pursuing a lady, one must grasp the right asure.
What girls hate the most is clinginess and persistent badgering, which can trigger a rebellious mindset.
"You want to act this way? Well, I’ll do just the opposite."
A girl could have felt fond of you, but such dogged pursuit can squander that sentint.
Strategic withdrawal, not aggressive pursuit, can yield unexpectedly effective results.
Luo Yu had no intention of a quick success today.
As long as he ensured that she was not annoyed with him, generating a sense of curiosity was enough.
Patience was key; neither hot tofu nor a fine lady could be rushed.
Only a man driven by lust would lose control over himself.
Had he been visiting a brothel, flashing a wad of golden soul coins to flaunt his wealth might lead to instant embraces and prostrations.
But would a good girl fall in love with you just because of that?
There’s a saying, isn’t there? Those attracted by money are rely gold diggers.
She doesn’t like you; she just likes your money.
Luo Yu was quite pleased with Bai Chenxiang’s firm stance today; if she had been dazzled by money, he would have left imdiately.
Clan Leader Baihe beca anxious and interjected, "Chen Xiang, look at what a fine young man he is, so handso and well-mannered. Shouldn’t we invite soone like him in for tea?"
Before Bai Chenxiang could respond, Luo Yu raised his hand to stop him.
"Clan Leader Baihe, though you are my elder, I must still say, "
"It’s better to let the younger generation make their own decisions regarding such important matters as marriage, since in the end, whether the taste is sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy, it is for her to bear, isn’t it?"
His words left Clan Leader Baihe speechless, and Bai Chenxiang’s eyes noticeably brightened.
Feeling respected, she found the man before her far less repulsive than before, and even felt a sense of connection.
She truly felt the urge to invite him in for a cup of tea and sit down for a chat.
But then she beca wary, thinking to herself.
Could this man be playing hard to get?
Humph!
Bai Chenxiang crossed her arms and sized up Luo Yu over and over again.
Luo Yu was not at all unsettled.
He bowed politely, showing no attachnt to the Bai Family.
"Clan Leader Bai, Miss Bai, I shall take my leave for today,"
"Tomorrow, I will visit again."
With those words, Luo Yu turned and strode towards the exit.
Bai Chenxiang called out, "You’ve forgotten to take sothing with you."
Luo Yu stopped in his tracks, didn’t turn around, just waved his hand.
"Once a gift is given, there’s no reason to take it back."
"Consider these three golden soul coins a eting gift for the Bai Family."
"Hiss—"
The surrounding suitors gasped in amazent, their eyes wide and jaws dropped.
They were stunned by Luo Yu’s generous act.
"This guy really doesn’t hold back."
"If it were , I’d be heartbroken, okay? To give away sothing so valuable before even holding the lady’s hand?"
"What if it all ends up for nothing in the end, wouldn’t that be a huge loss of golden soul coins?"
"This isn’t a small sum, ah, to just casually give it away like that, isn’t this too extravagant?"
"I’m impressed, damn it!"
So of the more insightful ones showed a look of sha in their eyes.
The ones who had co courting weren’t willing to leave their gifts behind without seeing so benefit first.
But this guy was completely different.
His speech was asured and his conduct commanding and magnificent, spending a fortune without even blinking.
"Indeed, the deanor of a big shot is sothing we mortals can’t comprehend."
Bai Chenxiang was also jolted, touched by Luo Yu’s actions.
She quickly spoke up to stop him:
"No, I can’t accept a reward without any rit."
"These three mountains of gold are too precious, my Bai Family doesn’t have the face to accept them."
Luo Yu turned his head with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, revealing a handso and serene light chuckle.
"I’ve long heard that Miss Bai is beautiful."
"Seeing you today, you truly stand out from the ordinary."
The man didn’t directly respond to Bai Chenxiang’s words, but her calm heart was like a pond into which a stone had been cast, rippling waves.
This guy... really was a bit handso.
Upon a closer look, an unusual charm seed to radiate from him.
During Bai Chenxiang’s mont of distraction, Luo Yu had already pushed open the gate, stepped out of the courtyard, and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Leaving only three mountains glittering with sunlit gold, gleaming in the yard.
The gaze of Clan Leader Baihe was profound, his face full of admiration.
"Chen Xiang, grandpa wasn’t joking, observing this young man’s every word and action, he is without a doubt extraordinary."
"Grandpa, stop pretending to be deep, hurry up and chase after him, return the money to him," Bai Chenxiang urged, pulling at his sleeve.
She had never taken advantage of anyone in her life.
Clan Leader Baihe gave a wry smile.
"My dear, you know just how poor our family is, where would we find a treasure capable of storing and returning such a large bounty."
Bai Chenxiang said anxiously:
"Then hurry and bring him back, take all this away imdiately."
Clan Leader Bai glanced at his granddaughter aningfully.
"I won’t go."
"It’s your affair, why don’t you chase after him and call him back?"
"Hmph! I knew you’d get greedy at the sight of money, you don’t want to return it!!"
Bai Chenxiang stamped her foot, her white wings unfurling behind her as she took off from the spot, chasing after him.
After a while...
Bai Chenxiang ca back from the gate, looking disheartened.
"Granddaughter, didn’t you go to bring him back?"
Bai Chenxiang glanced at Clan Leader Baihe, her eyes complex, and a hint of loss could be seen at their depths.
"The person... he’s gone."
"Dead?" Clan Leader Baihe exclaid.
Bai Chenxiang uttered disgustedly:
"What are you talking about!"
"He just disappeared."
