Today, hundreds of guests arrived at the Su Family's banquet, but Su Gangshan had only prepared 160 seats, so only a small fraction of the attendees were qualified to be seated.
Without a doubt, those who had the qualifications to be part of the banquet were all big shots, and many were masters of prominent families from the capital.
As all the guests were seated, Ye Chen and Su Binglan walked hand in hand, with Su Binglan taking the opportunity to introduce some distinguished individuals to him.
"Liu Shihua, what are you doing mingling with a child?" Ye Chen looked towards a corner of the banquet and frowned slightly.
"That little boy is her fan, but not a fan of her singing, nor of her acting—instead, he's a fan of her writing!" Su Binglan seemed to know something. "Liu Shihua has written an internet novel, with a huge fanbase of readers, and that little boy is one of her fans!"
"Everyone seated here is a big shot, what kind of background does this kid have to be among these distinguished guests?" Ye Chen gossiped.
"Hu Kai, the young master of a first-rate wealthy family and also the sole heir!" Su Binglan said.
"So he's a rich second generation!" Ye Chen hesitated. "Liu Shihua hanging out with him, there wouldn't be any danger, right?"
"Danger? What kind of danger could there be?" Su Binglan teased. "Could it be that you are afraid Liu Shihua will be charmed by this little boy?"
"Hmm, I do have a strong sense of crisis!" Ye Chen replied, agreeing with the notion.
"Get out of here, Liu Shihua thinks about being the boss every day, beating us to become the rightful wife of the Ye Family—who'd have time to mess around with children?" Su Binglan said with a playful scold.
"Okay, it's my fault for having too vivid an imagination!" Ye Chen laughed sheepishly.
"You better not worry about Liu Shihua right now, but take care of yourself first!" said Su Binglan.
"What's wrong with me?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.
"I'm going to introduce you to a beautiful woman, don't lose your soul!" Su Binglan said with an unfathomable smile.
"I have no resistance to beautiful women, you better not make me meet her!" Ye Chen expressed a lack of confidence in himself.
"I knew you had this side!" Su Binglan gave Ye Chen a reproachful look. "But, you can't avoid meeting this woman because the two of you have a blood feud. I'm worried she might try to harm you in the future, so I want to introduce you to her and have you be on your guard!"
"I've always been defenseless against beautiful women—either playing the innocent or acting young—how could I possibly have created such a deep blood feud?" Ye Chen was somewhat confused.
"You'll understand everything when you meet that beauty!" Su Binglan's eyes curved with amusement, seeming to take pleasure in Ye Chen's predicament.
Ye Chen and Su Binglan playfully whispered as they arrived at a spot among the seating, looking for that beautiful woman who had a blood feud with Ye Chen.
But Ye Chen was starting to get a headache, because everyone at the table was an acquaintance, and it didn't seem like any of them bore him any enmity.
Ye Wushuang sat there gracefully, leaving a deep impression on Ye Chen—he remembered her as the first goddess-like girl he had encountered after arriving in the city, and some interesting incidents had happened between them, so his memory of her was vivid.
After many years, Ye Wushuang was still beautiful, her aura more prominent and mature, adding a layer of charm that made her even more perfect.
"Ye Chen, is he here for me?" Ye Wushuang's hands clenched secretly under the table, her heart fluttering with a mysterious excitement. After so many years, she was seeing Ye Chen again, the man she could not forget!
Ye Wushuang admits her interest in Ye Chen; she even took the initiative to reach out to him, lowering her own status—a chapter in her life she found difficult to put into words. Moreover, she believed Ye Chen also had feelings for her.
But Ye Wushuang was disappointed. Ye Chen only made brief eye contact with her, then calmly looked away, without stirring the slightest ripple from beginning to end.
Ye Chen's gaze shifted from Ye Wushuang to focus on Qin Lan and Qin Ying, the twin sisters.
Both Qin Lan and Qin Ying were stunning beauties, with one major highlight—they looked exactly alike. Ye Chen was struck with amazement upon seeing them, ripples of admiration in his heart. Such a pair of flawless twins was truly remarkable.
"Ye Chen!" Qin Lan wanted to stand up and greet Ye Chen, but she was held down by Qin Ying sitting beside her.
"Mind your status. Ye Chen belongs to someone else. Don't disgrace the Qin Family!" Qin Ying said coldly.
"..."
Ye Chen's gaze shifted and he saw the gentle beauty, Xing Tong.
Then, Ye Chen moved his gaze away slowly. Although he was fond of admiring beautiful women, the words of Su Binglan earlier were somewhat frightening, and he wanted to find the woman who held a grudge against him.
Next, Ye Chen saw a long-haired Yan Ruyu and a female anchor with a sly grin.
Seven women all had complicated ties with him, but there were eight people seated at this place, and the eighth was a stranger—a beautiful woman!
Ye Chen's gaze stopped there, staring steadily at that strange beauty!
Pure, idyllic, serene, wise... This was a transcendent woman, with perfect looks that dazzled Ye Chen at first sight.
What surprised Ye Chen even more was that this beauty was young, but her martial skills were profound, having already reached the Ten Dragons Realm!
"Who might this be?"
Upon seeing a beauty, Ye Chen got bashful and kept ogling the strange beauty, his eyes nearly popping out.
"Hello, I am Luo Biting!" The woman stood up and said with a faint smile to Ye Chen. "Mr Ye, you fended off the ancient families, truly a natural talent with unmatched elegance, I greatly admire you!"
"So it's Luo Biting. My accomplishments are modest, you don't have to admire me. We can be friends!" Ye Chen got cosy immediately upon meeting a beautiful woman. She had respectfully called him Mr Ye, but he quickly climbed up the ladder, nauseatingly calling her Luo Biting, much to the disgust of the goddesses nearby.
"Ye Chen, can't you show a little dignity?" Li Yan said with a disgusted face. "Always trying to take advantage when you see a beautiful woman, how desperate are you?"
"You'll see tonight!" Ye Chen said.
"..." Li Yan's face stiffened.
There were a few strangers present who probably didn't know their relationship, but with that statement, Ye Chen had exposed their relationship.
"Ye Chen, let me introduce you!" Su Binglan began to laugh. "This beautiful woman is Luo Biting, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, one of the Four Beauties of the capital!"
"Luo Biting is naturally gorgeous, desired by many men, but you should not bother, because you stand no chance, as you two are enemies!" Su Binglan did not mince her words.
"The three elders of the Luo Family I killed, what's your relation to them?" Ye Chen looked at Luo Biting and suddenly asked.
Su Binglan kept emphasizing that Luo Biting and he had a blood feud, which sent Ye Chen's thoughts soaring as he remembered a bloody past incident.
"The three elders are the ancestors of the Luo Family, my great-grandfather!" Luo Biting said.
"Now that you mention it, I understand. We indeed have a grudge between us!" Ye Chen said.
"We do have a grudge!" Luo Biting nodded.
"Do you want revenge?" Ye Chen asked.
"I do, but I can't defeat you!" Luo Biting replied.
Luo Biting would have certainly tried to kill Ye Chen for revenge if she could, since Ye Chen's killing of two of the three ancestors of the Luo Family had greatly diminished its status—a grudge that almost destroyed the family.
