Chapter 633: We Meet Again
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: ChrissyLu Li couldn"t have stood outside the gate . Therefore, he might not have a chance to contact Ye Luo if he could not go in .
But Gu Min was a clever man . He cupped his fists and said with a smile, "My lord, he is not my escort . He is my cousin and he married a young lady of a branch of the Palace of Heaven"s Roars . He has come, attracted by Young Master Ye Rong"s fame . "
"Really?"
The Ye Family warriors stood away . A young lady of a branch of the Palace of Heaven"s Roars was still a young lady nonetheless . Lu Li might have dressed in an unrefined way and didn"t look like a young master from a big family . That being said, Gu Min had some reputation and the warriors didn"t think he would lie .
A n.o.ble Lord Realm warrior of the Ye Family thought about it and waved his hand and said, "Then go on in . You know the rules . "
"Yes, of course!"
Gu Min replied with a respectful smile and walked in with Lu Li . Gu Min signaled Lu Li to put away the long sword he carried on his back . After all, the sword made Lu Li like an escort, instead of a young master .
Lu Li sighed . He knew that by saying him to be a young master of the Gu Family, Gu Min would bring many troubles to the Gu Family if someone dug out the fact . But now that Gu Min had said it, Lu Li could only relocate the Gu Family to the Clouds Plains or the Northern Desert .
Lu Li had seen his fair share of big occasions . He adjusted quickly from the manners of an escort to a young master . His eyes shone and he didn"t stand behind Gu Min anymore . His temperament changed that to a young master as well . He had to do this . By continuing to act like an escort, he could get into trouble .
They followed a servant inside . Lu Li shoot Gu Min a glance and a.s.sumed a haughty air . Lu Li wanted to play a Kung Fu addicted young master that lacked understanding of the ways of the world and was as dumb as an oyster . He would have Gu Min deal with everything so he wouldn"t draw much attention .
Of course, this banquet was not of a high level . Ji Mengtian and Yang Xuan might not be here . Lu Li was not worried that he would be recognized by some old acquaintances .
Soon, they arrived in a side chamber where some young masters and young ladies were waiting . They didn"t go to a main hall because it was still early and young master of the Ye Family hadn"t come yet .
A steward of the Ye Family was entertaining everyone . Lu Li followed around Gu Min to greet others . But Lu Li only nodded and rarely spoke . Gu Min was quite skilled in this . He exchanged pleasantries with some young masters and young ladies and then sat down with Lu Li .
Gu Family was only a fifth rank family but their chamber of commerce had been selling some rare productions . They have earned fame but not too eye-catching .
Those products of rarity were actually Mystical Materials from the Inferno . Lu Ling asked the Gu Family to sell some secretly, which had given the Gu Family some reputation .
Gradually, there were more coming to Gu Min for business . Lu Li stayed there with a cold face and n.o.body would court a rebuff by talking to him . On the other hand, Gu Min was talking lively and jovially, drawing the attention from some young ladies .
More young masters and young ladies arrived . The side chamber became livelier . Of course, those who came now were from fifth or sixth rank families . Those from distinguished families would arrive later . If some big shots had come, Ye Rong would have come to greet them .
Lu Li seemed to be drinking tea indifferently but he had been paying attention to the outside . That being said, he understood even if Ye Yu and Ye Luo were to be present, they would come after the luncheon began . After all, they were too distinguished to show up early .
Time moved on . An hour later, there were more than 100 in the side chamber . It was not a small place but it was packed nonetheless .
The steward of the Ye Family invited everyone to the main hall . Lu Li went to the main hall with the others, thinking that with so many people, he wouldn"t stand out as long as he remained low key .
The main hall was at lakeside . There were no walls, only huge columns . The main hall was surrounded by sheer curtains . Willow twigs danced to the breeze . Fragrance of flowers were intoxicating . It was a nice spot for luncheon .
Finally, Ye Rong came . He resembled Ye Luo"s appearance . He was handsome with inspiring looks . Of course, there was still a gap between him and Ye Luo, who, after all, was the future Family Patriarch . Ye Luo had developed a manner that took years of experience . Ye Rong couldn"t compare on that front .
Lu Li took a few glances and saw that there were more than a dozen young masters and young ladies by Ye Rong"s side . They must be from major families or they wouldn"t have the right to stand with Ye Rong .
Gu Min and Lu Li were seated in the corner and they weren"t even at the front row . More than half of the people present here were disciples from sixth rank families and more than a dozen were from seventh rank families . It was nice for Gu Min and Lu Li to score a seat at all .
Lu Li didn"t mind this . He was only here to see if he could meet Ye Luo during this luncheon . Nothing else was of his concern .
"Enjoy~"
Ye Rong took the central seat and waved a team of maids and servants in to serve delicacies . But many guests frowned .
They were interested to come because Ye Rong said Ye Luo and Ye Yu would be here . But they hadn"t arrived and how could Ye Rong announce the beginning of the luncheon now? Was he playing everyone?
Lu Li was disappointed as well . He was not a fan of parties like this . He even wanted to leave secretly now .
Detecting the discontent, Ye Rong toasted as an apology, "Future Family Patriarch and Sister Yu promised to come but Lady Ji Mengtian just invited them over . So…I am sorry . Of course, there is a chance that Future Family Patriarch will come here after he is done there . Lady Mengtian"s party is at the Fairy Pavilion just nearby . Please enjoy while we wait for them . "
"Lady Mengtian!"
Many young masters were intrigued . They looked toward the west . The Fairy Pavilion was also by the lake but it was the best tavern in the City of Buddha . The only ones allowed in there must be young masters and young ladies from the wealthiest families .
"Hmm!"
Lu Li snorted . Ji Mengtian was out as he was told . Did she reach the Human Sovereign Realm? On the other hand, Lu Li was relieved . Ji Mengtian and Ye Luo had piled-up anger toward each other at the small battlefield . It was highly likely that Ye Luo would come over after some time .
"I"d like a word!"
Holding up his goblet, Ye Rong said, "We invite you here to let you know that we will be opening our Tumulus of Sword in sixth months . By that time, there will be amazing pieces of weapons unearthed . If you are interested, you are more than welcome to come to the City of Universe . As a matter of fact…we will be selling Quasi Relic . This is a rare chance…"
From Ye Rong"s long speech, Lu Li finally understood the point of Ye Rong"s luncheon . Lu Li heard that the Tumulus of Universe was famous for their Xuan Artifacts . More than half of the Xuan Artifacts at Central Plains were manufactured at the Tumulus of Universe .
"Wow~"
A chorus of enthusiastic reaction swept across the hall . The Tumulus Universe was quite generous, selling Quasi Relic . Lu Li was not interested but he was wondering how come Ye Luo didn"t have one when the Tumulus of Universe was selling Quasi Relic .
Many questions came from the young masters and young ladies, which heated up the atmosphere in the hall . Some of them were toasting with each other and chatting . Lu Li was bored after a while and felt that time hung heavy on his hands .
People had been drinking for a while but there was no show of Ye Luo and Ye Yu, which was disappointing .
They were here, hoping to meet the future Family Patriarch and the most honorable young lady of the Ye Family who didn"t show themselves in public often .
"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"
After the time for several incense sticks to burn, there came some sounds of footsteps . Then the words of the steward excited many, "Future Family Patriarch and Lady Yu . "
At last, Ye Luo and Ye Yu came .
