Chapter 324: Old Acquaintance Yuchi Xueyao
Xu Xiaoqin watched as Xu Yourong placed her hand on Luo Sheng’s right arm. A mature woman and a gentleman, preparing to elegantly leave the villa.
Xu Xiaoqin asked in confusion: “What about ?”
Luo Sheng glanced at her and said: “You stay here and wait for us to co back. The banquet is too dangerous for you.”
Xu Yourong nodded gently beside him.
She added: “The Xu family will be there. If anything happens, it will be difficult for us to look after you at that ti. So, Xiaoqin, be good and stay at ho, focus on your cultivation.”
“Alright,” Xu Xiaoqin pouted slightly.
Clearly, she felt a bit unhappy that Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong weren’t taking her along.
“We’ll bring back so good food for you,” Luo Sheng added.
Then he left the villa with Xu Yourong.
They headed towards the banquet specified by Su Tianchen.
At this ti, as the crisis in Pingcheng had been resolved.
Civilians from XC district were gradually returning to the old city, where most of their ans of production were located.
However, a large portion of people still lived in XC district.
After all, this disaster had caused a huge psychological shadow, and many people didn’t dare to return to that nightmarish place.
Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong sat in the car, slowly approaching the new banquet hall.
The security here was stricter than before.
Especially since it hadn’t been long since the disaster, people hadn’t yet erged from their vigilant state.
Luo Sheng looked at the approaching banquet hall and said softly to Xu Yourong: “You’d better not show yourself easily this ti. The Xu family will certainly be invited to this banquet, and I’m afraid they might cause trouble for you then.”
Xu Yourong asked puzzledly: “What about you? You’re likely to be the main character of this banquet, and they’ll see you as a thorn in their side as well.”
Luo Sheng chuckled lightly and waved his hand.
He said casually: “I was already a thorn in their side. It just so happens that I’ll be responsible for attracting their attention, while you hide in the shadows. That’s your specialty.”
Xu Yourong nodded.
Assassination was indeed her forte.
Luo Sheng would be responsible for attracting attention, while Xu Yourong would act behind the scenes. Both could cooperate closely.
Luo Sheng suddenly rembered sothing and asked: “By the way, what about the interrogation results of Xu Dongsen?”
Xu Yourong simply explained:
“They were just taking in orphans, and they don’t know much either. They only know that my father obstructed certain people, so they had to resort to killing him.
Not long after, my mother also disappeared, and then I was sent to Pingcheng. They said my mother sent
here, but in reality, there were people from the main family pulling the strings.”
Luo Sheng didn’t continue to ask.
It was probably a heavy topic.
He apologized softly: “I’m sorry for bringing up bad mories.”
“It’s alright, so truths will be known sooner or later. I’ve already prepared myself to accept them,” Xu Yourong lowered her head and said word by word.
“I’ll do my best to help you,” Luo Sheng said.
“Mm.”
After Xu Yourong nodded.
The two left the car, and as they were about to enter the banquet.
Suddenly, soone called out to Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng looked to the side and saw a security guard with a scruffy beard smiling and saying: “Long ti no see, Master Luo.”
“Long ti no see, how co you’re here?”
Luo Sheng saw an old acquaintance.
This security guard was the one from the first banquet he attended.
He had given Luo Sheng a green channel, allowing him to enter the banquet without any hindrance.
The security guard smiled and said: “Since the banquet incident last ti, I was assigned to the Guard Bureau. Now that another banquet is being held here, I’ve been dispatched here again.”
Luo Sheng listened attentively, nodding from ti to ti, then said: “It’s fortunate that you survived this disaster. I heard many people fell on the front lines.”
“Yes,” the security guard said with slight sadness, “The other comrades have all fallen in battle, only I was lucky enough to survive.”
The security guard’s expression was heavy for a mont.
Then he smiled again and said: “You’re here to attend the banquet too, right? I’ve heard about your reputation, it seems you’ve made the greatest contribution to Pingcheng.”
Luo Sheng humbly said: “What are you saying? I just helped a little bit. The greatest contributions were made by the Card Masters on the front lines.”
“Hahaha, you’ve beco more modest than before,” the security guard laughed, then continued: “But let
tell you a little secret, the Alliance’s special envoy is an old acquaintance, and she’s extrely beautiful. If you et her, you should try your best, maybe you can win the beauty…”
The security guard’s words were cut off halfway.
He saw Xu Yourong beside Luo Sheng.
He suddenly beca awkward.
He just laughed hehe.
Then he patted Luo Sheng’s shoulder lightly, “That side is the staff entrance, I’ve already opened the door. You can go straight in… I won’t disturb you anymore.”
After the security guard finished speaking, without waiting for Luo Sheng to thank him.
He walked away directly.
Luo Sheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, “There really aren’t many good people in this world.”
However, the old acquaintance ntioned by the security guard.
Luo Sheng imdiately beca a bit curious.
Who could it be?
Xu Yourong took Luo Sheng’s arm, “Let’s go, he’s helped us quite a bit.”
“Mm.” Luo Sheng mumbled a few tis.
Because of the security guard’s help, they were able to freely pass through the staff entrance.
If it were the regular entrance, they would need to register their nas, which would expose Xu Yourong in advance.
But using the staff entrance was different, they could enter the banquet directly, without any registration.
After the two entered the banquet.
They split up.
Luo Sheng stood in plain sight of everyone, properly eating various snacks laid out at the banquet.
Of course, he didn’t forget to maintain his gentlemanly appearance.
While Xu Yourong hid in a corner, quietly observing the people at the banquet.
The two had a clear division of labor.
Luo Sheng scanned the surrounding crowd through his peripheral vision.
Basically, everyone’s levels could appear within his perception range.
Just a slight touch with his spiritual power, and he could clearly know the other person’s level, whether silver, bronze, or gold, none could escape.
Of course, if a level appeared blurry.
Luo Sheng could easily guess that the person must be using so ans to conceal their level.
However, Luo Sheng could still sense the rough range of the person’s level, as long as the level-concealing thod didn’t exceed Luo Sheng’s strength, it was difficult to completely hide one’s own strength.
After all, with the improvent of Luo Sheng’s level, especially after years of tempering by mysterious energy, his spiritual power had reached an unprecedented super strong state.
Rich in viscosity and full of infectiousness.
Particularly the thickness of his spiritual power, which had already surpassed that of ordinary Card Masters. Overall, Luo Sheng’s current spiritual power was roughly the sa as a normal 9-star gold-level Card Master, and even vaguely reached the density of platinum level.
This was Luo Sheng’s greatest insight after reaching gold level.
He also understood why City Lord Lei could easily judge his level when he saw him at that ti.
Just as Luo Sheng swallowed a grape.
Su Tianchen suddenly walked over, gently patted Luo Sheng’s shoulder, and said, “You’re quite punctual. Co over there, soone wants to see you.”
“Is it the Alliance’s special envoy?” Luo Sheng asked instinctively.
Su Tianchen didn’t hide anything and nodded: “She wants to see you, especially after knowing that you’re the biggest contributor to this incident, she’s even more interested in you.”
“I’m surprised that she would care about a small character like .”
“It’s normal. Understanding more people doesn’t do her any harm, and moreover, your potential is not weak. If we exclude Qin Jianjia, you should be the top one in No. 2 School.”
Hearing the three words “Qin Jianjia”, Luo Sheng imdiately beca interested.
He curiously asked: “Qin Jianjia? Do you know her current level?”
Su Tianchen also answered simply: “Her current strength is probably at gold 3-star level, especially at Guohui Card University, where the resources are very good. She could reach this level in a short ti.”
“Wow…” Luo Sheng pretended to be surprised, “Indeed very impressive, it seems I need to work hard.”
He himself was already at gold 5-star level.
Su Tianchen suddenly smiled and said, “You should first catch up to Xu Yourong. She’s already at silver 9-star, while you’re still at silver 7-star.”
And patted Luo Sheng’s shoulder.
“Teacher, I’ll try my best,” Luo Sheng laughed awkwardly.
Xu Yourong was indeed at silver 9-star level, probably because her ring that could hide her aura was silver level, causing her to be easily detected by Su Tianchen.
However, through this incident, Luo Sheng also confird one point.
Su Tianchen didn’t know his real strength.
But Luo Sheng knew Su Tianchen’s strength, gold 7-star, just a step away from reaching 8-star.
“I hope so,” Su Tianchen nodded.
Luo Sheng suddenly said again: “I will strive to pursue your daughter.”
Su Tianchen’s mouth twitched suddenly, looking at Luo Sheng with a smile: “First sign an insurance policy, let’s talk in the small grove.”
“That’s too troubleso, forget it, I’m not interested in insurance,” Luo Sheng laughed it off.
Then he ca to a quiet small hall at the banquet.
As soon as Luo Sheng entered, he saw City Lord Lei, Secretary Zhou, and several Card Masters from the Guard Bureau.
There was also Yuchi Xueyao, whom he had already seen at the banquet. She still had the sa makeup.
About 28 or 29 years old, graceful and extrely beautiful.
She was dressed all in black, which made her skin look even more snow-white. Her hands, like white jade, were placed on her knees as she carefully listened to the reports from the City Lord and Secretary Zhou.
Her beauty was mixed with a heroic spirit, radiant, truly as beautiful as plum blossoms blooming in snow, with a touch of noble aura.
Their conversation also drifted over.
Luo Sheng could vaguely hear them discussing the content about Pingcheng.
Yuchi Xueyao: “How’s the current situation?”
Secretary Zhou: “Pingcheng has suffered huge losses recently. About 3,000 Card Masters have fallen, with bronze level accounting for over 70%, the rest being silver level. Three gold level Card Masters defected, one was pursued and killed.”
Yuchi Xueyao: “It seems they made a big move this ti.”
Secretary Zhou: “The main problem is those family clans, they set up too many traps for us. We didn’t expect about half of the family clans in the city to be in collusion with them, helping them infiltrate our side continuously.”
City Lord Lei: “Indeed, if it weren’t for soone warning us in advance, I’m afraid the losses would have been even greater. Pingcheng might have beco a second Dragon City.”
Yuchi Xueyao: “The way you put it, it seems that boy saved the whole city.”
“You’re right,” City Lord Lei said with a smile, then saw Luo Sheng and Su Tianchen at the door.
He added: “Look, they’ve just arrived.”
