The host of the Congregation was Yan family this year, and it has been a tradition where there would be a dining party like this before every commencement, you could encounter with fellow participants here to socialize a little since it was a rare opportunity to have experts this many in one hall.
This dining party was the prime event in free space zone, while there was the leader of Yan family and the old lady showing up at the party this year. Certainly the leader of the hosting family was renowned, but the old lady was no simple figure either.
Because of the annual event, Risserd had gathered all sorts of youth talents from every corner, and no doubt the Abductor once showed up and attempted to seize a prey or two.
So what this old lady did was, she allied with the few known forces on Risserd, like Huang family for example, and had wiped out every base of the Abductor on Risserd. The mission was successful, which had won over respect of the people towards the old lady.
She had never joined the dining party before, but somehow this year she decided to show up.
Ye Chong tailed Feng Su obediently. He had to follow at every of her steps since it would be horrible if she had a chance to work on something. He could not help but to shudder even to the slightest thought of Feng Su calling a whole flock of Xi Feng mechs to hunt him down.
But in no time Ye Chong realized how he had just invited trouble himself.
Constant stares came from the other Jie experts at the venue, which raided upon him like an arrow shower. Why the stare? Feng Su did not show up in her veil of course. Her absolute beauty had been presented to the folks again.
She worked a little harder dressing up herself this time. This fine violet one piece was the finest thread from Yan family upon request. With her dreamy charm, she certainly looked like a blooming violet. Her lovely waists had sketched sexiness with her low and opened collar, as the collarbones breathed in the air, revealing the glossy smooth skin of hers under the gentle light of the hall.
She was not the only woman but she might be the only and also the fairest woman in the room. Those female martial arts practitioners, mentalists, alchemists might have greater skills than her, but they knew nothing about the vibrant life, so it was wholly the duckling to the swam, a strong contrast.
Feng Su had dominated the entire hall with her beauty once again.
Well... because of her superb beauty, Ye Chong felt like that toad on the lily pad nearby... which caused some unidentifiable fury coming from the sightseers... he was feeling uneasy with the constant glares that his back had been soaked wet despite that indifferent expression of his.
Hah! Snorted Feng Su, feeling great as she glanced at Ye Chong. She had been cracking her head finding a way to pressure Ye Chong but she seemed out of luck. Now, all she had to do was to groove in the hall and he would be sweating heavily by the attention, of envy of course.
At that moment, Ye Chong could feel the army had replaced their ammo to throwing knives, it was no longer an arrow shower of glare, but a raid of thousand knives! His hands even began shivering!
Disdainful snorts and hmphs echoed in the room. If it was not because of their respects towards the host, Ye Chong probably would have been sliced into the cluster of stars.
"Don't play with fire," whispered Ye Chong in a warning tone.
"Hah!" Feng Su giggled as the grip tightened, "Like this?" The entanglement intensified!
"Don't you like it? Hmm?" whispered Feng Su, breathing into Ye Chong's ears.
"Hmph!" snorted Ye Chong.
Feng Su flinched as her head retreated.
It was no ordinary snort. Ye Chong actually performed a Mortal Roar just now, a miniature version of it of course. But Feng Su was pretty close to Ye Chong, so even a miniature version could pack a punch to her.
It was a simple gesture yet fairly identifiable among the Jie experts, Ye Chong then felt the showering attack reduced drastically.
Feng Su then behaved herself as she backed off.
"OH! IF IT WASN'T LIU!"
"YES! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE MET!"
The hall was spacious, while also being crowded. Greetings of reunion could be heard roaring in the room all the time. They were martial arts practitioners after all, and they sure had a strong diaphragm, they literally enunciated their courtesy, which caused the noises.
"This is a dining party?" Feng Su's expression was dull, well, she was once a somebody of the showbiz in 5 major galaxies and had joined various socialites' party before, but never once she had seen such a messy party.
Again, Ye Chong, to stay low, had dragged Feng Su all the way to one corner and sat down.
But little did he know that, there was one handsome man observing them.
"Oh my!"
"Is that..."
"Gasp..."
If Feng Su's arrival created the first uproar in the party, then Rui Bing must be the second storm tonight.
Rui Bing, in her white garb, was leading a cute little boy into the hall.
Her chilly charm, tinted with the slight tenacity and the chivalry of a true fighter, had grabbed the attention of the people.
Feng Su might be identified as "seduction" itself but Rui Bing, she would be "ambition", "dream" and "confidence".
Rui Bing walked in as usual, unaffected by the fiasco as to center she walked the boy, who was waving to the Jie experts around shyly.
"Oh my gosh... you're so cute!"
"Let me pinch your face!"
The female Jie experts seemed fairly interested in the puffy boy.
The front suddenly got silent, which made Ye Chong lifting his head in peculiarity, but well, he was at the corner, so he could hardly see a thing. He gave up eventually since he wanted to stay low.
Rui Bing led the little boy to the other corner. Like husband, like wife, Rui Bing was too someone who did not fancy the attention but she did not fear getting involved in something like Ye Chong. Perhaps that was why Ye Chong could somehow accept her for the rest of his life... similarity...
"Would you stop following me like a paparazzi?!" Ye Luo freaked out softly as possible, "Oh my Risserd, people must be thinking we are legally married or something! Why must you be this close? Two steps away from me please, and how many times must I tell you... stop doing that 'I am Ye Yin the Great, bow before me' face! Don't you feel tired doing it all day? Please, greet the other guests upon encounter, courtesy of humanity, we are a family of courtesy after all!" muttered Ye Luo.
And one could see the vein bloating on Ye Yin's forehead.
"Hello there, how are you feeling tonight?"
One guest came to them and Ye Luo had professionally turned into a gentleman, "Well certainly, great, how about you? You look gorgeous tonight."
"Alright, see you at the event itself."
And the guest left, Ye Luo's face collapsed, "I said two steps, nothing more and nothing less! Don't keep the gap too far, you retreat inside your mech at a warfield after all, you're now a tortoise without shell and I could imagine someone smashing you with their feet, man, do you know how martial arts should have led the field and not..."
The veins bloated again!
"Are you Mr. Luo Shi?" asked one serviceman politely.
"Yes, yes I am!" smiled Ye Luo, as transformed into a gentleman again, "What's the matter?"
"The lady is aware of your attendance and would like to have a chat with you." Said the serviceman with an inviting gesture.
"The old lady? Of Yan family?" Ye Luo was confused upon the serviceman's nod. How would the old lady of Yan family know him? He might be a somebody in the galaxy, a handsome somebody, but he did not think he would make an elderly in his seventies a big fan of his...
"The old lady requested me to invite you himself. Please, take this path. I believe everything would make sense after you have met him," said the serviceman with a bow.
