Senior sister, stop working and go home for dinner.

Chapter 308 Ready to Go

Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of Xianxia novels.

Seeing Feng Xiaolu's excited expression, Chen Anran couldn't help but chuckle: "You can wear whatever you want. But the premiere is indeed a bit more formal, so have Fatty Li take some money from the account and you girls can go to town and pick out some clothes you like."

Feng Xiaolu's eyes lit up even more: "Really? Then I'll go find Mengmeng and Xiaoman right now!" She said, and started to run outside.

"Wait a minute," Chen Anran called out to her. "Go ask Second Senior Sister what she thinks first, see if she's willing to go. Also, remember to tell Fatty Li that the resort needs to make sure to have enough staff for the premiere."

"Okay!" Feng Xiaolu replied, her figure already running out of the side hall.

Huiming smiled and shook his head: "Benefactor Feng is still as lively as ever."

"This is good." Chen Anran looked out of the hall.

In the afternoon, Chen Anran went to the medicinal herb field on the back mountain to find Wei Qingyi. She was rolling up her sleeves and carefully watering a newly transplanted herb.

"Second Senior Sister," Chen Anran called out.

Wei Qingyi turned around, fine beads of sweat on her forehead, a few strands of hair clinging to her cheek. She put down the water ladle and straightened up: "Is something the matter?"

Chen Anran told her about the premiere and asked, "Second Senior Sister, would you like to go?"

Wei Qingyi was silent for a moment, then reached for a towel on the stone bench beside her and wiped her hands before asking, "Was it Wang Rui and the others who invited you?"

"Yes, an invitation has been sent. We hope we can all come and support them."

"Then go ahead." Wei Qingyi said calmly, as if she wasn't talking about the premiere of her own movie. "They took good care of me during filming, so I should go and thank them."

Chen Anran nodded: "Okay. Xiaolu and the others are discussing going to buy new clothes. Second Senior Sister, would you like to go check them out together?"

Wei Qingyi shook her head: "I have clothes."

After exchanging a few more words about the herb garden, Chen Anran took his leave. A few steps later, he turned back and saw Wei Qingyi already crouching down, continuing to tend to the herb, her profile radiating focused tranquility in the sunlight.

In the following days, the entire Yunyin Sect prepared for the premiere. Feng Xiaolu indeed dragged Zhao Mengmeng and Lin Xiaoman to a neighboring town for a whole day. Not only did the group of girls go, but Feng Changyuan and Feng Lie also went along.

These two were very dissatisfied with Feng Xiaolu's "inaction" during this period, and they complained to Feng Xiaolu several times while drinking at bars. However, Feng Xiaolu always rejected them, saying that the clan leader and his uncle had said to "let nature take its course," which made Feng Changyuan and Feng Lie even angrier.

"Let nature take its course" doesn't mean you should do nothing!

So the two brothers took advantage of the opportunity to buy clothes and started their operation again.

That day, on the largest commercial street in the neighboring town, the Feng brothers changed their usual casual attire. Feng Changyuan wore a well-tailored dark gray suit, while Feng Lie wore a casual shirt with designer trousers, their watches reflecting a subtle luster in the sunlight. The two of them stood there, exuding an air of nobility that stood out from their surroundings, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

"Little Deer, listen to your brother today." Feng Changyuan put his arm around his cousin's shoulder, his tone leaving no room for argument. "What kind of occasion is a premiere? Wei Qingyi is a fantasy goddess who's already a hit before the show even airs. You're her junior sister, representing the face of our Yunyin Sect. Dressing too casually will make people look down on our sect."

Feng Xiaolu looked down at her simple T-shirt and jeans, then at her two cousins' attire, and was a little confused: "But...aren't cultivators supposed to return to simplicity and nature?"

"Returning to simplicity is an art, not about being sloppy." Feng Lie continued, pointing to an elegantly decorated styling studio across the street. "The first step is to tidy up your messy hair. Mengmeng, Xiaoman, you two can join in."

Zhao Mengmeng was alright, being a young lady from a wealthy family, but Lin Xiaoman was somewhat reserved. Lin Xiaoman now lived in the mountains year-round, only occasionally going to town to buy daily necessities; she had never been to a place that looked so expensive. Not to mention now, even in the past she had lived in poverty, otherwise she wouldn't have become roommates with Wei Qingyi…

"Brother Feng, isn't this... too much of a waste?" Lin Xiaoman whispered.

"What's the expense?" Feng Lie waved his hand. "We're family. Besides, this is for the sake of the sect's reputation. Come on, come on, let's go inside."

Without a word, the three girls were "escorted" into the studio. Soft, soothing music played in the background, and the air was filled with the scent of high-end fragrance. A hairstylist in a uniform greeted them with a polite smile.

Feng Changyuan whispered a few words to the man who appeared to be the manager, then flashed a black card. The manager's eyes immediately became even more respectful, and he personally arranged for three of the best hairstylists to come and serve him.

"This lady has really good hair, but it's a bit frizzy and needs deep conditioning." The hairstylist serving Feng Xiaolu was a woman in her early thirties, gently combing her long hair with her fingers. "Your face shape is a classic oval. I suggest a layered, shoulder-length cut with slightly curled ends, which will be both refreshing and elegant. Then, do a smoothing treatment to guarantee it will be shiny and smooth."

Before Feng Xiaolu could react, she was already seated in a comfortable leather chair and covered with a cloth. She looked at Zhao Mengmeng and Lin Xiaoman next to her through the mirror. Both of them were surrounded by hairstylists. One suggested that Mengmeng get a cute shoulder-length bob, and the other suggested that Xiaoman get her long hair permed into natural big waves.

"I...I really want to cut it?" Feng Xiaolu was a little flustered; she had kept her hair long for many years.

"Cut!" Feng Changyuan and Feng Lie said in unison, standing behind her like two guardian deities.

Two hours later, the three girls who came out of the studio seemed to have been reborn.

Feng Xiaolu's new hairstyle was exactly as the hairstylist had suggested: shoulder-length hair with natural, slight curls at the ends, and carefully trimmed bangs that revealed her smooth forehead and delicate eyebrows. Her previously frizzy hair became smooth and shiny, further enhancing her already beautiful features with a touch of refinement and liveliness.

Zhao Mengmeng's shoulder-length bob makes her look lively and neat, with the ends curled inwards just right to flatter her face shape. Lin Xiaoman's long hair has been transformed into romantic big waves, fluffy and bouncy, adding a touch of brightness to her gentle temperament.

"Wow..." Feng Xiaolu looked left and right at the reflection in the shop window on the street, a little unable to believe that it was herself.

"That's more like it." Feng Lie nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go, next stop."

The next stop was the town's most upscale shopping mall. The Feng brothers were clearly prepared, and with a clear goal in mind, they led the three girls straight to the counters of several international brands.

"Little Deer, try this dress on." Feng Changyuan picked up a smoky pink knee-length dress. The style was simple and elegant, the tailoring was excellent, and the fabric had a pearly luster. "The color suits you."

"And these shoes." Feng Lie chose a pair of nude-colored strappy stiletto sandals with a moderate heel height and an elegant design.

"I...I can't wear high heels." Feng Xiaolu felt intimidated just looking at those thin heels.

"Take your time learning. You can't wear sneakers to the premiere." Feng Lie told the clerk to get the right size without further ado.
