Xu Xiaoqin watched as Xu Yourong placed her hand on Luo Shengâs right arm. A mature woman and a gentleman, preparing to elegantly leave the villa.
Xu Xiaoqin asked in confusion: âWhat about me?â
Luo Sheng glanced at her and said: âYou stay here and wait for us to come back. The banquet is too dangerous for you.â
Xu Yourong nodded gently beside him.
She added: âThe Xu family will be there. If anything happens, it will be difficult for us to look after you at that time. So, Xiaoqin, be good and stay at home, focus on your cultivation.â
âAlright,â Xu Xiaoqin pouted slightly.
Clearly, she felt a bit unhappy that Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong werenât taking her along.
âWeâll bring back some good food for you,â Luo Sheng added.
Then he left the villa with Xu Yourong.
They headed towards the banquet specified by Su Tianchen.
At this time, as the crisis in Pingcheng had been resolved.
Civilians from XC district were gradually returning to the old city, where most of their means 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 didnât 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 hadnât been long since the disaster, people hadnât yet emerged from their vigilant state.
Luo Sheng looked at the approaching banquet hall and said softly to Xu Yourong: âYouâd better not show yourself easily this time. The Xu family will certainly be invited to this banquet, and Iâm afraid they might cause trouble for you then.â
Xu Yourong asked puzzledly: âWhat about you? Youâre likely to be the main character of this banquet, and theyâll see you as a thorn in their side as well.â
Luo Sheng chuckled lightly and waved his hand.
He said casually: âI was already a thorn in their side. It just so happens that Iâll be responsible for attracting their attention, while you hide in the shadows. Thatâs your specialty.â
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 remembered something and asked: âBy the way, what about the interrogation results of Xu Dongsen?â
Xu Yourong simply explained:
âThey were just taking in orphans, and they donât 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 me here, but in reality, there were people from the main family pulling the strings.â
Luo Sheng didnât continue to ask.
It was probably a heavy topic.
He apologized softly: âIâm sorry for bringing up bad memories.â
âItâs alright, some truths will be known sooner or later. Iâve already prepared myself to accept them,â Xu Yourong lowered her head and said word by word.
âIâll do my best to help you,â Luo Sheng said.
âMm.â
After Xu Yourong nodded.
The two left the car, and as they were about to enter the banquet.
Suddenly, someone called out to Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng looked to the side and saw a security guard with a scruffy beard smiling and saying: âLong time no see, Master Luo.â
âLong time no see, how come youâre here?â
Luo Sheng saw an old acquaintance.
This security guard was the one from the first banquet he attended.Follow the newest chapters on novДlping.com.
He had given Luo Sheng a green channel, allowing him to enter the banquet without any hindrance.
The security guard smiled and said: âSince the banquet incident last time, I was assigned to the Guard Bureau. Now that another banquet is being held here, Iâve been dispatched here again.â
Luo Sheng listened attentively, nodding from time to time, then said: âItâs fortunate that you survived this disaster. I heard many people fell on the front lines.â
âYes,â the security guard said with slight sadness, âThe other comrades have all fallen in battle, only I was lucky enough to survive.â
The security guardâs expression was heavy for a moment.
Then he smiled again and said: âYouâre here to attend the banquet too, right? Iâve heard about your reputation, it seems youâve made the greatest contribution to Pingcheng.â
Luo Sheng humbly said: âWhat are you saying? I just helped a little bit. The greatest contributions were made by the Card Masters on the front lines.â
âHahaha, youâve become more modest than before,â the security guard laughed, then continued: âBut let me tell you a little secret, the Allianceâs special envoy is an old acquaintance, and sheâs extremely beautiful. If you meet her, you should try your best, maybe you can win the beautyâŠâ
The security guardâs words were cut off halfway.
He saw Xu Yourong beside Luo Sheng.
He suddenly became awkward.
He just laughed hehe.
Then he patted Luo Shengâs shoulder lightly, âThat side is the staff entrance, Iâve already opened the door. You can go straight in⊠I wonât disturb you anymore.â
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, âThere really arenât many good people in this world.â
However, the old acquaintance mentioned by the security guard.
Luo Sheng immediately became a bit curious.
Who could it be?
Xu Yourong took Luo Shengâs arm, âLetâs go, heâs helped us quite a bit.â
âMm.â Luo Sheng mumbled a few times.
Because of the security guardâs help, they were able to freely pass through the staff entrance.
If it were the regular entrance, they would need to register their names, 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 didnât 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, everyoneâs levels could appear within his perception range.
Just a slight touch with his spiritual power, and he could clearly know the other personâs 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 some means to conceal their level.
However, Luo Sheng could still sense the rough range of the personâs level, as long as the level-concealing method didnât exceed Luo Shengâs strength, it was difficult to completely hide oneâs own strength.
After all, with the improvement of Luo Shengâs 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 Shengâs current spiritual power was roughly the same as a normal 9-star gold-level Card Master, and even vaguely reached the density of platinum level.
This was Luo Shengâs greatest insight after reaching gold level.The source of this chapter is novelping(.)com.
He also understood why City Lord Lei could easily judge his level when he saw him at that time.
Just as Luo Sheng swallowed a grape.
Su Tianchen suddenly walked over, gently patted Luo Shengâs shoulder, and said, âYouâre quite punctual. Come over there, someone wants to see you.â
âIs it the Allianceâs special envoy?â Luo Sheng asked instinctively.
Su Tianchen didnât hide anything and nodded: âShe wants to see you, especially after knowing that youâre the biggest contributor to this incident, sheâs even more interested in you.â
âIâm surprised that she would care about a small character like me.â
âItâs normal. Understanding more people doesnât 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.â
Hearing the three words âQin Jianjiaâ, Luo Sheng immediately became interested.
He curiously asked: âQin Jianjia? Do you know her current level?â
Su Tianchen also answered simply: âHer 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 time.â
âWowâŠâ Luo Sheng pretended to be surprised, âIndeed very impressive, it seems I need to work hard.â
He himself was already at gold 5-star level.
Su Tianchen suddenly smiled and said, âYou should first catch up to Xu Yourong. Sheâs already at silver 9-star, while youâre still at silver 7-star.â
And patted Luo Shengâs shoulder.
âTeacher, Iâll try my best,â 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 confirmed one point.
Su Tianchen didnât know his real strength.
But Luo Sheng knew Su Tianchenâs strength, gold 7-star, just a step away from reaching 8-star.
âI hope so,â Su Tianchen nodded.
Luo Sheng suddenly said again: âI will strive to pursue your daughter.â
Su Tianchenâs mouth twitched suddenly, looking at Luo Sheng with a smile: âFirst sign an insurance policy, letâs talk in the small grove.â
âThatâs too troublesome, forget it, Iâm not interested in insurance,â Luo Sheng laughed it off.
Then he came 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 same makeup.
About 28 or 29 years old, graceful and extremely 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: âHowâs the current situation?â
Secretary Zhou: âPingcheng 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.â
Yuchi Xueyao: âIt seems they made a big move this time.â
Secretary Zhou: âThe main problem is those family clans, they set up too many traps for us. We didnât expect about half of the family clans in the city to be in collusion with them, helping them infiltrate our side continuously.â
City Lord Lei: âIndeed, if it werenât for someone warning us in advance, Iâm afraid the losses would have been even greater. Pingcheng might have become a second Dragon City.â
Yuchi Xueyao: âThe way you put it, it seems that boy saved the whole city.â
âYouâre right,â City Lord Lei said with a smile, then saw Luo Sheng and Su Tianchen at the door.
He added: âLook, theyâve just arrived.â
