The Huo Clan's banquet was held in the largest building. The head of the Huo Clan, Huo De, sat at the head of the table. Beside him were the second head of the Huo Clan and Yu Shi. The members of the Huo Clan sat on the left, while the members of the Yu Clan sat on the right.
Everyone had their own table and delicacies. They were all seated close to each other, so they wouldn't disturb each other's conversations. The delicacies were very sumptuous. The Huo Clan and the Yu Clan were far apart, so they didn't have any conflicts of interest. Naturally, they had to pay more attention to their own etiquette. They couldn't let the Yu Clan find fault with them.
The Huo Clan had many descendants, even more than Yu Chuo's four children. Yu Chuo only had one wife, but Huo De had four wives and a total of eleven children. It could be said that the entire Huo Clan was like this. Compared to the Yu Clan, which had more non-family members, the Huo Clan had more people from the Huo Clan.
As the representative of the Yu Clan, Yu Shi naturally came early to chat with the head of the Huo Clan and the second head of the Huo Clan. They talked about many topics, such as the difficulties of managing the clan, the dangers of this expedition, and so on. The descendants of the Huo Clan also arrived early. The eleven descendants were all seated close to each other, chatting and laughing. However, the age gap between these people was very large, so sometimes they couldn't talk about the same topic.
Less than a quarter of an hour before the banquet started, two figures suddenly appeared at the door. The two figures seemed to shine with light, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. They all turned to look.
The two who walked in were none other than Yu Yan and Lu An.
Yu Yan was very beautiful today.
Yu Yan rarely put on rouge, but this time, she put on a very beautiful makeup that fully displayed her three-dimensional facial features and smooth contours. Every part of her was beautiful without reservation, and there was also her bright red lips. Even the people of the Yu Family had never seen the Second Young Miss like this!
Immediately, the eyes of all the men in the room were fixed. Even Yu Jiang and Yu Chong were the same. Although they knew that their sister was very beautiful, they had never looked at her carefully before. How could she be so beautiful!
Yu Zi saw that her subordinate's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. She couldn't help but frown and say, "What are you looking at? What's there to look at?!"
Her subordinate could only quickly retract his gaze, but he still secretly looked at her.
Even the members of the Yu Clan were like this, let alone the members of the Huo Clan. Five of the eleven descendants of the Huo Clan were men. Their gazes were fixed on Yu Yan. However, while the men were looking at Yu Yan, the women were looking at the man beside Yu Yan.
Although Lu An's appearance could only be considered above average, or perhaps slightly above average, the most important thing was that Lu An's temperament was very attractive, like an incomparably deep black hole, making these women unable to shift their gazes.
The two of them walked to the center and bowed to the three people sitting at the head of the table. Yu Yan said, "Junior Yu Yan greets Senior Huo."
"Junior Lu An greets Senior Huo." Lu An cupped his hands in greeting.
Immediately, everyone present memorized the names of these two people. Huo De looked at the couple and couldn't help but say to Yu Shi, "Sure enough, the people of the Yu Clan are all talented!"
Yu Shi smiled happily and said, "Isn't that the same for the Huo family?"
"Hahaha!!" The two of them laughed heartily. Under Huo De's signal, Yu Yan and Lu An walked to their seats. The two of them sat very close to each other. After all, the two of them had always been very close, and the other people didn't have a good relationship with them.
The five male disciples of the Huo family didn't leave Yu Yan for even a moment. If Yu Yan wasn't the second young miss of the Yu family, they would have already approached her.
Lu An wasn't interested in this kind of banquet. To him, it was just a meal with more people. He sat there, bored, and waited for the banquet to begin.
They didn't have to wait for long. Soon, it was time. Huo De, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up and said loudly to everyone, "Today's banquet is to welcome the friends of the Yu Clan. This first toast is to the Yu Clan!
Immediately, everyone stood up. The people of the Huo family raised their wine cups to the people of the Yu family and drank it in one gulp. The people of the Yu family naturally drank it, including Lu An.
After drinking the first cup, Huo De continued, "Secondly, the purpose of this banquet is to destroy the Dark Ghost Realm and celebrate our triumphant return in advance!"
"Triumphant return!"
Everyone raised their cups again and shouted loudly. They also drank the second cup in one gulp!
After drinking two cups, everyone sat down. The banquet officially began. Soon, people of the Huo family came to the center of the hall to play instruments. These instruments were slightly different from those of the world above, but they were mostly the same. The underground world had a history of more than ten thousand years. It was normal for it to have its own culture.
The sound of this music was very clear and was different from the depressing atmosphere of the underground world. It was said that music was to express the emotions that everyone lacked. From this music, it could be heard that these people actually yearned for a bright life.
As the music became brighter, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively. The people of the Huo family also went to the Yu family's table to drink and chat. The people of the Yu family also went to the Huo family to drink and chat, such as Yu Jiang and Yu Chong.
In less than an hour, everyone was in a frenzy and drank a lot of wine. However, this wine wasn't very strong. It could only be used to liven up the atmosphere and make these people more excited. They couldn't get drunk at all. However, there was also a quiet place in the midst of this frenzy. It was Lu An and Yu Yan.
The two of them were very quiet and leisurely ate the dishes in front of them. Because the two of them were sitting next to each other, it was as if they were sitting together. The two of them kept talking and looked very intimate. Originally, with the attention of the two of them, there should be many people around them. However, no one went over. The reason was very simple.
"The two of them … Are they lovers or husband and wife?" the eldest son of the Huo family, Huo Li, asked.
The one talking to Huo Li was Yu Jiang. He glanced at the two people in the distance and frowned. He shook his head and said, "Neither. This Lu An has lost his memory and was saved by our Yu family. His memory loss might be related to the Dark Ghost Territory. My father thought that it might come in handy, so he let him go with us."
Yu Jiang's voice wasn't soft. Not only did Huo Li hear it, but the other people of the Huo family also heard it. Soon, this news spread. Everyone in the Huo family realized that the two of them weren't intimate.
Immediately, these people became restless, especially the eleven children of the Yu family. One had to know that the underground world was full of danger. Therefore, everyone was very bold and unrestrained. They did whatever they wanted to do. After all, whether they could survive until the next day was a problem. Immediately, Huo Li and his two younger brothers walked towards Yu Yan. Huo De's eldest daughter, Huo Yan, and her three younger sisters walked towards Lu An.
Soon, many people gathered around Yu Yan and Lu An. These people all wanted to curry favor with their targets. However, the men were more proactive. Although the women took the initiative to approach Lu An, they couldn't always take the initiative with words. Moreover, Lu An wasn't a descendant of the Yu family. He was just an ordinary outsider.
However, it wasn't as difficult as ascending to the heavens for Lu An to take the initiative. In fact, it was impossible.
When these women asked a question, Lu An would politely respond. He wouldn't say a word more. More importantly, Lu An was overly polite. He spoke with the women in a very respectful manner. This kind of attitude left these women with no chance. They could only treat each other with respect.
However, in this way, Lu An's politeness was in sharp contrast to the men of the Huo family who surrounded Yu Yan. After all, these men were like wolves and tigers. They spoke loudly and with a cheerful face. They didn't care whether Yu Yan could accept it or not. In comparison, Lu An appeared to be more elegant and charming. Even Huo Yan's heart was moved.
"These brothers in the family are too noisy. If only they were half as calm as Young Master Lu," Huo Yan said.
"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses." Lu An smiled and said politely, "Everyone in the Huo family is enthusiastic. You can make many friends. For someone with a dull personality like mine, after interacting with them for a long time, I will feel bored."
Hearing Lu An's words, the women were stunned. Huo Yan didn't know how to continue. However, Lu An and Yu Yan were very close to each other. Huo Yan and Huo Li were also very close to each other. They naturally heard Huo Yan's words clearly. If it was any other time, it would be fine. However, with beauties in front of them, wasn't she slandering them and undermining them?
However, Huo Yan was the oldest among the eleven descendants. She was their big sister and usually took care of them. Moreover, she was one of them. Naturally, they didn't dare to say anything. However, Lu An was different. Lu An was just an outsider. Huo Li and the other two immediately focused their gazes on Lu An. Their eyes were full of hostility!
