Chapter 194: Boring
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Mu Anan entered the main hall of the banquet, she could not help but sigh over the luxurious entertainment in Phecda.
The entire banquet hall was surrounded by mirror walls. Coupled with the crystal lights above the head, it looked grand, luxurious, and very fairy-tale.
Under such a contrast, the already well-dressed men and women looked even more gorgeous and dazzling.
They were all following the theme of this masked ball. Everyone wore half a mask on their faces and could not recognize each other.
There were even men who took the initiative to invite the ladies to dance.
Mu Anan had attended many banquets and c.o.c.ktail parties in the early days with Seventh Master, but those banquets were too rigid and ostentatious.
The men only cared about maintaining their dignity and all kinds of relationships in the business world, as well as in the wealthy circle.
On the other hand, women competed with each other in terms of clothes and accessories, as well as the men beside them.
It was very boring.
Therefore, Mu Anan did not attend the banquet with Seventh Master anymore.
However, today’s scene was different.
There was no rigid compet.i.tion. It was more of a relaxed and playful tone. No one knew each other here, and no one did anything for each other.
“h.e.l.lo, beautiful young lady.”
Mu Anan was about to walk in when a man appeared in front of her.
The man was dressed like a prince, wearing a half-mask and holding two gla.s.ses of champagne in his hands.
He handed a gla.s.s to Mu Anan and said very gentlemanly, “Beautiful young lady, may I dance with you?”
After the man finished speaking, he pointed at the dance floor in front of him.
It was a round stage that was two to three steps higher than the ground. The lights shone on the dance floor, which made it look like the round dance floor in the fairytale castle.
There were already many men and women dancing together.
There were also quite a few men holding women’s hands to go on stage.
The atmosphere was very good.
Mu Anan maintained her smile and generously took the champagne. “Thank you for your appreciation, sir. But I’m a terrible dancer, so I won’t embarra.s.s myself. I’ll take this wine instead.”
The other party smiled and clinked gla.s.ses with Mu Anan before leaving.
Mu Anan was walking in the main hall of the banquet hall with half a gla.s.s of champagne in her hand. Occasionally, she would b.u.mp into the men who invited her to dance, but she refused every time.
She was not here to play today.
The old master of the Zong family arranged for the banquet to be held by Phecda, mainly to promote the relationship between Zong Zhengyu and Tang Mi.
Mu Anan even had imagined that the people of Phecda would take the opportunity to put something in Seventh Master’s wine when they are hyped up. Then what had been done could not be undone between Tang Mi and Zong Zhengyu.
The next day, the reporters would surround them to take photos and report on them. All the people in the city would know about their relationship. Even if Seventh Master was unwilling, he would have to admit it.
Although this move was very bad, it was very useful for prestigious and complicated n.o.ble families like the Zong family and the Tang family.
It was because making the family look good was very important.
Mu Anan looked around but did not see Seventh Master and Tang Mi.
There wasn’t even a single person of Phecda.
Was it because it wasn’t time yet?
Mu Anan pondered to herself as she wandered around the main hall of the ball.
“Your look doesn’t pa.s.s. You’re forbidden from entering.”
A mechanical voice suddenly sounded behind her, causing Mu Anan to stop in her tracks.
She turned around and saw the place by the stairs.
An Al was standing upright. In front of the Al was a woman wearing a mask.
The Al face was a screen, and a red warning text appeared on the screen. There was a line of words: Your look doesn’t pa.s.s. You’re forbidden from entering.
The woman in front of the machine was obviously unwilling to give up. “Take another test!”
However, no matter how she re-tested, the words “Your look doesn’t pa.s.s. You’re forbidden from entering” were still firmly displayed on the Al face screen.
The woman was angry. She raised her leg and wanted to kick the Al machine, but it grabbed her arm and lifted her.
When the Al machine turned around, the door behind it opened automatically and it threw the woman who was still clamoring out.
The scene immediately fell silent.
The Al machine returned to its original appearance and guarded the stairway.
At this moment, another woman walked in. The Al face instantly turned into a scanner and scanned the woman’s body. Finally, it displayed the words: Your look pa.s.sed.
Then, it let her go.
The woman walked up the stairs with a gla.s.s of wine in her hand.
Mu Anan looked at this scene.
From the initial shock and surprise, she finally understood.
This Al was a management tool to test the beauty of female guests.
If they pa.s.sed the test, they could go upstairs. If they did not pa.s.s, they had to leave. If they caused trouble, they would be thrown out.
The place was not hidden. The guests at the ball could see this side but very few people paid attention to the commotion that happened here.
Obviously, this was not the first time.
Did this mean that this was the usual style of Phecda?
Mu Anan sipped a gla.s.s of champagne and slowly retreated to the wall opposite the corridor.
She looked up slightly and saw another scene upstairs.
She immediately raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Upstairs was a transparent gla.s.s, and Mu Anan could see the scene clearly from her place.
There were three red leather sofas and seven men in ancient clothes were sitting on them!
Some of these men were leaning against each other, while some were sitting alone at the side with wine gla.s.ses in their hands.
There are also half-lying ones.
Although the seven men were all wearing masks and Mu Anan could not see them all clearly from her position, each of them had a unique temperament.
Not to mention anything else, just the seven pairs of long legs made people’s hearts flutter.
It was a visual feast.
Especially one of the men was leaning against the sofa with one hand on his forehead. He was wearing a black lace mask and his long black hair was scattered casually.
He looked especially demonic.
This must be someone from Phecda.
It was no wonder that the people of Liuli City held these people in such high regard.
Even without the Zong family’s strong background, just this appearance and aura were enough to make people go crazy.
Mu Anan could only recognize one person.
The long-haired man ranked sixth, named Zong Zhengyan.
She had seen his photos on Weibo previously, and he was especially flirtatious.
Therefore, it was not easy for ordinary people to get close to Phecda even if it was an internal banquet of the TAG Club.
At the very least, their appearance had to be pa.s.sable.
In that case, if Seventh Master and Tang Mi were to enter the banquet, what would happen must be on the second floor.
However, only seven people were sitting on the sofa upstairs.
There were a total of eight people in Phecda.
Mu Anan looked around and confirmed that there was no familiar figure.
Either Seventh Master had not arrived yet, or he was sitting inside and Mu Anan could not see him from her angle.
While Mu Anan was deep in thought, Zong Zhengyan, who was wearing a black lace mask, suddenly stood up from the sofa. He slowly approached the gla.s.s and looked at Mu Anan.
Mu Anan calmly retracted her gaze and walked towards the stairs.
The first floor was simple, but the second floor was a really exciting place.
Mu Anan had always been confident in her look.
So after confirming this information point, she tidied up herself and put the champagne aside as she walked towards the stairs.
Mu Anan walked to the stairs. The Al’s face turned into a scanner and scanned
Mu Anan’s entire body.
The final result was: Your look doesn’t pa.s.s. You’re forbidden from entering.
Mu Anan was dumbfounded when she saw this result..
