The feast was held in the loft, with people attending before it even officially started.
At the emergency meeting, not only Shenjing Province’s experts participated, but other experts who were temporarily staying in this province.
Yang Hongying wore a black western suit and a western hat. She explained that this was one of her hobbies, to dress up like this for such occasions.
Li Mo was in casual wear, silently walking behind Yang Hongying.
“Second brother Mu, it’s been a long time!”
“Third brother Zhang, nice to see you!”
In the hall, people mingled and old friends reunited. Yang Hongying took Li Mo to an empty table in a corner.
“One, two, three… seven.” Yang Hongying counted softly.
“Eight beauties.”
“Eh?”
“I’m saying there are eight beautiful women here.”
“Are you a d***?”
“You’re the gay one! I am perfectly straight beauty, thank you very much.” Yang Hongying adjusted her hat.
“I can’t see it.”
“Tch, I’m counting beauties out of a whim to see who is the most gorgeous among us. Then, I’m going to woo her.”
At some point, Yang Hongying stuck a mustache on.
“And you say you aren’t a d***.”
“Wooing her then dumping her is called entertainment.”
Yang Hongying was full of herself right about now.
Li Mo was stumped.
He finally figured it out, ‘Now I see why others call you the Yang clan’s freak.’
“Don’t wander. Be good and sit tight while I go out and have some fun.”
Yang Hongying zeroed in on her target, a fine and classy middle-aged woman in a revealing black gown. She adjusted her attire and walked to her prey.
Some guests decided to take to dancing on the dance floor.
The revealing black gown wearing classy woman was first taken aback by Yang Hongying’s invitation but agreed wholeheartedly the next moment. The two were soon on the dance floor, holding each other so closely as if in a waltz.
Li Mo felt funny seeing the cross-dressing Yang Hongying holding the woman close and twisting around.
“Presenting Elder Zhang and Lan Yi!”
The hall was a clamor of voices as Zhang Jingshen and the plump Auntie Lan entered the scene. Close behind them were two young men with lofty features.
“Zheng clan!”
“They are two geniuses of the capital’s Zheng clan, Zheng Hualong and Zheng Huahu.”
“With Zheng Huahu a peak third level and Zheng Hualong in the fourth level, they are two of the capital’s finest talents!”
The elites the headquarters sent over were a pair of brothers.
When a fourth level powerful figure graced the hall with his presence, the clamor stopped.
Zhang Jingshen and Auntie Lan respectfully guided the two elites hailing from the headquarters to the main seats among the abject silence.
Zheng Hualong said coldly, “Old Zhang, Aunt Lan, the emergency meeting this time touches upon sensitive topics. There’s no way you don’t know of this so how did you find the time to kick back and relax?”
The music stopped and so did the dancing.
Zhang Jingshen was embarrassed and cupped his hands, “Elites, the emergency meeting will start tomorrow…”
Zhang Jingshen cut him off, “I don’t want to hear it. I’m leaving to inform the leader. You will just have to answer for this when the time comes!”
Zhang Jingshen was awkward, Auntie Lan was silent and the prevalent mood was gloomy.
Just then, the third level Zheng Huahu stood up and walked to a girl with alabaster skin while extending a bow, “Miss, may I have this dance?”
Zheng Huahu’s moves were smooth as a gentleman, while the lady in question was with a partner. From how they were holding each other, it was clear as day the two were at least lovers, if not married.
The girl watched her partner perplexed. The man coughed awkwardly, “It’s elite’s request. You should take it.”
Zheng Huahu held the girl’s hand as they walked to the dance floor.
Zheng Huahu had the girl stuck to him and his arms roamed around ungentlemanly like. It traveled from her waist all the way to her pert butt.
Bang!
Zheng Huahu slapped her tight ass. When there was no music and the hall eerily silent, that action was heard loud and clear.
The girl was aghast and struggled with her meager strength to get out of Zheng Huahu’s prison to no avail.
Under the eyes of the silent crowd, Zheng Huahu didn’t seem to even care as an intoxicated expression was soon painted on his face.
“Zheng Huahu, you may be an elite from the capital, but there’s no way I can have you shaming my wife! Get your filthy hands off her!”
Her man flew into a rage.
“He is Shenjing’s Liu Fen, a second level gifted proficient in telekinesis.”
The girl’s husband flicked his hand and cutlery from the tables flew at Zheng Huahu.
As Zheng Huahu was hugging the girl, he simply jumped. He didn’t even need to look as no cutlery could even graze him.
The oddest thing happened then. The cutlery suddenly fell from the air.
Liu Feng gestured at them again but they only trembled a bit but never took flight again.
Liu Feng was panicking and shouted. He used both his hands to summon his power into making the cutlery fly once again. It was now that Zheng Huahu spoke,
“Why so eager? Just sit still!”
Zheng Huahu’s voice was casual, but the cutlery dared not rebel against him. It was as if they heard an imperial edict. They clattered on the ground and wouldn’t budge no matter how much Liu Feng tried.
“Elder Zhang, Lan Yi!” Liu Feng turned dejected to his leaders.
What happened was too shameful and disconcerting. Not just Liu Feng, but all members from Shenjing Province felt the entire situation uncomfortable.
Zhang Jingshen and Auntie Lan’s eyes met and were about to intervene when a man rested his hand on Zheng Huahu’s shoulder.
“Are the capital’s elites so great? Remove your evil clutch!”
A chill came out of the man’s hand that forced Zheng Huahu to let go after a few seconds of withstanding the cold.
The one to intervene was none other than Frozone Sun Wei!
Liu Feng’s wife ran away in tears. Zheng Huahu’s lip trembled and only regained his calm after breathing in and out a few times.
“Frozone Sun Wei! He is one of the few third level experts in Shenjing Province!”
“Who doesn’t like women? But that woman, in particular, isn’t for you. If you want one, find yourself a mistress and have your fill. What I hate the most are your type who pick on weak girls because of your strength!”
Sun Wei’s words earned him applause. None dared to do more when the capital’s elites were involved.
Zheng Huahu cast a dark look on Sun Wei.
Zhang Jingshen walked over, “Honored Huahu, you must be hungry from all the dancing. How about we bring the food?”
Auntie Lan added, “It was only a misunderstanding. Nothing to worry about. Let the feast commence!”
Gentle music played and people returned to their seats. Sun Wei went back to his under the admiring gazes of the crowd. Zheng Huahu stood alone on the dance floor for a good while, then snorted before going back to his seat of honor.
With the situation dissolved, Li Mo tucked away the talisman he was holding.
“Little brother, aren’t you lonely sitting here all by yourself?”
A sweet voice had Li Mo turn his head. What he saw had him staring blankly.
