Chapter 147
There were many luxury cars parked outside the manor. Xue Feiâs fiery red sports car, which was extremely eye-catching on the city road, seemed inconspicuous.
âWhy are there so many people?â Lu Sheng frowned.
Xue Fei opened the car door for him and explained in a small voice, âSenior Jiang is one of the most important people in Liangcheng. There are many things he cannot do because he canât keep a low profile even if wants to. This is already a small scale event after Old Jiang tried his best to suppress the news âŠâ
Lu Sheng originally came here with the intention of having a meal, but now he changed his mind. He planned to meet Jiang Jinian and then leave.
Before the two even reached the entrance, a waiter came up to greet them.
At the low-key yet luxurious banquet, men and women dressed in luxurious clothes sat in groups of two or three. They chatted casually with wine glasses in their hands. Every now and then, they would laugh softly.
It was a scene of high society.
Zheng Dandan and a woman stood in the corner. They watched the people coming and going as they whispered to each other.
[TL: The girl wearing sunglasses who tries to befriend Lu Sheng and asks to add him on social media.]
âTonightâs banquet is not simple. Do you see over there? The Mayor of Liangcheng, and the President of the Martial Arts Association ⊠Everyone here is an important figure in Liangcheng, or even the entire Dongning Province. If it werenât for our good luck, we wouldnât be able to get in.â
A woman wearing a dark blue evening gown with exquisite makeup whispered to Zheng Dandan.
âThe main reason is that the organizer of this banquet is too important. The President of Liangchengâs Spiritual Master Association, Senior Jiang Jinian ⊠You should know what kind of people spiritual masters are. They are much more valuable than martial artists.
âSenior Jiang is just the President of Liangchengâs Spiritual Master Association. Yet, even the President of the Dongning Provinceâs Martial Arts Association has to treat him with respect.
âBecause in the entire Dongning Province, only the Liangcheng has a Spiritual Master Association. It may seem like a city division, but itâs no different from a provincial one âŠâ
Hearing the woman mention spiritual master, Zheng Dandan seemed to have remembered something. Her gaze wavered.
âXin Yuan, do you know what this banquet is about?â
The woman named Xin Yuan said mysteriously, âI knew you would ask this. It wasnât easy for me to find out. Apparently, there is a Level 4 Spiritual Master in Liangcheng. Senior Jiang Jinian was so happy that he quickly organized this banquet âŠâ
Zheng Dandan nodded and didnât speak.
Seeing that Zheng Dandan didnât react, the woman became anxious.
âLevel 4. Do you know what a Level 4 is, Dandan? Reaching Level 4 puts on the same pedestal as Senior Jiang Jinian, a prominent figure at the provincial level. If he were in the military, he would at least hold the rank of a colonel or senior colonel. Someone like that can make the entire Dongning Province tremble. If we have the chance to catch the eye of someone like that, then we and our families will rise to the top.â
Zheng Dandan couldnât help but ask curiously, âIs that Level 4 Spiritual Master very young?â
âI donât know.â
The woman shook her head. âI donât think heâs that old. Or else there wouldnât be so many women here tonight âŠâ
The woman glanced around and said to Zheng Dandan, âYou have to treasure this opportunity. In our social circle, other than you and me, no one else is qualified enough to be here. This is why I brought you here today.â
Zheng Dandan bitterly chuckled and whispered, âXin Yuan, you know I donât like events like this.â
The woman glared at her and said, âDandan, I heard from Wenhui that youâve fallen in love with a high school student you met while travelling?â
Zheng Dandan was like a startled deer. She jerked her head up and then quickly shook her head to explain. đłređČđ eđnđŒvđČl.cđšđŠ
âNo ⊠no, donât listen to Wenhui.â
âHehe, youâre still pretending. Youâve been staying in Liangcheng and not going back to school because you were waiting for that guy, right? I heard heâs not bad looking and his family has some background. I think heâs related to the Eastern Military Region?â
The woman looked at Zheng Dandan helplessly and said, âDandan, what do you want me to say to you? Even if you were in university, I wouldnât care if you fell in love with some poor guy with no background. Youâre young after all. Dating a few times is nothing. Youâre going to break up sooner or later. But you ⊠you fell in love with a high school student?! Are you out of your mind?â
The woman reached out and touched Zheng Dandanâs forehead with a look of disbelief.
Zheng Dandan dodged her hand and tried to argue, âLu Sheng, he ⊠heâs not ⊠a normal high school student.â
The woman was speechless.
âThen heâs still a high school student.â
âWhatever, Iâm too lazy to care.â
The woman looked around and said to Zheng Dandan, âThere will be quite a few spirit readers at tonightâs banquet. Keep your eyes open. Even if you canât attract the attention of that Level 4 big shot later, you can still attract a few young talents. Maybe one day youâll break through and become a big shot ⊠Did you hear what I said, Zheng Dandan?â
âYeah, I got it, Xin Yuan.â Zheng Dandan answered helplessly.
Tonight, she really was dragged here by her best friend to attend this Spiritual Master Associationâs celebration party. Ever since she parted ways with Lu Sheng last time, Zheng Dandan had been staying in Liangcheng. Because she knew that Lu Sheng would come to Liangcheng sooner or later for business.
Therefore, she waited at home, hoping that Lu Sheng would suddenly appear before her one day. However, she had sent Lu Sheng a lot of messages, but Lu Sheng didnât reply. He didnât even read them.
Leaving every message unread.
Zheng Dandan didnât know if waiting like this would yield any results. But all she could do was wait ⊠wait âŠ
Just as Zheng Dandan was being dragged by her best friend to greet and socialize with the upper class, she caught sight of a shadow eating in the corner of her eye.
He wore a black suit and his body was tall and slender. One of his hands was casually stuffed into his pocket while the other hand was holding onto a fork and stuffing food into his mouth.
âLu ⊠Lu Sheng?!â
Zheng Dandanâs eyes widened. She wondered if she was seeing things or if she was hallucinating.
After she stared at that person for a full minute, the latter couldnât help but stare at her as well. The moment their eyes met, Zheng Dandan finally confirmed that this person was Lu Sheng!
âXin Yuan, I saw a friend. Iâm going over.â
Zheng Dandan threw out this sentence and ran towards the person in her mind.
âEh, Dandan, where are you going?â
The woman couldnât stop Zheng Dandan. She followed Zheng Dandanâs direction and seemed to have realized something. A teasing smile appeared on her face.
âZheng Dandan?â
Lu Sheng froze when he saw Zheng Dandan suddenly appear before him. He was a little surprised.
