Everyone had their eyes on a young man on the third floor. He wore a black tuxedo and had long, flowing hair. He was not considered handsome, but he had a mature aura about him.
His gaze casually swept across the crowd, and no one dared to look him in the eye. Many of the girls in the crowd met his gaze, and they could only feel their hearts thumping non-stop.
The young man walked down one step after another.
"Young Master Lei!"
"Greetings, Young Master Lei!"
"…"
Be it the rich or the young masters, they made way for the young man as soon as they saw him. They greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Ye, he's the Thunder King's son, Lei Can!"
Wang Long said with a serious expression.
Ye Chen glanced at Lei Can and secretly nodded. Although he had never seen the legendary Thunder King, he could roughly tell from Lei Can's appearance.
However, that was all.
He chuckled softly and picked up his glass to drink while eating the pastries on the table.
On the other hand, Fang Hao and Fang Mi, who were standing aside, were looking at Lei Can passionately. Fang Mi looked like she was infatuated. "Young Master Lei is a true young talent. The others are nothing compared to him."
Fang Hao felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.
Fang Hao felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. His heart was filled with jealousy and envy. Even so, he couldn't deny that whether it was in terms of aura, skill, or family background, Lei Can was ten streets ahead of him.
Even Dai Shiyu could not help but have a gleam flash through her eyes.
The entire banquet hall fell into silence at that moment.
Lei Can said while smiling calmly, "First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for coming to the ball tonight. I, Lei Can, am honored. The purpose of this ball is to make it easier for everyone to communicate …"
A disdainful voice came from below just when he was speaking. "Are you here to eat and drink? You're like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world! "
The voice interrupted Lei Can. Everyone secretly frowned and could not help but look toward the direction of the voice. They thought to themselves, 'Who's so bold?'
They saw Ye Chen's table as soon as they looked.
It was Fang Hao who had spoken earlier.
Zhu Hui, who was among the crowd, shouted coldly, "Fang Hao, what's wrong with you?"
Fang Hao's face turned pale when he saw everyone looking at him in an unfriendly manner. He hurriedly explained, "Young Master Lei, I'm sorry. That's not what happened."
He stretched his arm out and pointed at Ye Chen as he spoke, "It's this brat. He was eating and drinking when you were talking. He seemed to be disrespecting you. I couldn't help it, so I said that."
He hated Ye Chen to death now.
The people could not help but look at Ye Chen. As expected, they saw that most of the pastries on his table had been eaten. At that moment, they revealed a disdainful expression.
The reason why they came to the ball tonight was not to communicate with each other, but to build a good relationship with Childe Lei.
In the end, there really were people who came to eat and drink!
What a country bumpkin!
Dai Shiyu, who was sitting next to Ye Chen, covered her face with her hands immediately. She seemed to think that it was rather embarrassing to sit with him.
Wang Long smiled bitterly.
"Brat, what do you take this place for?" Someone glared at Ye Chen coldly with an unfriendly gaze.
Ye Chen smiled calmly. "We're either here to dance or to eat and drink. Is there anything wrong with what I'm doing?"
He had tasted a piece of pastry earlier and thought it tasted great. He secretly put some into his storage ring, planning to bring it back for his daughter.
Never had he thought that Fang Hao would target him.
That person was speechless at that moment.
Fang Hao said again, "Young Master Lei, this brat doesn't seem to have an invitation. He must've sneaked in. I suggest we chase him out."
The crowd gasped as soon as that was said.
Lei Can also looked a little unhappy.
"Young Master Lei, I was the one who brought Mr. Ye here. I was the one who gave him the invitation," Wang Long, who was standing aside, stood up and explained despite the pressure.
Fang Mi revealed an expression as if she had expected it to happen.
"Uncle Wang, you don't have to do that!"
Lei Can smiled warmly. "Since this brother is here to attend the ball tonight, it means that he's qualified to do so. Moreover, what he said earlier was right. He's either here to eat or to dance.
Let the ball begin! "
He clapped his hands, and the entire banquet hall was filled with a burst of pleasant light music. Many people danced with their partners.
Fang Hao glanced at Dai Shiyu and stood up. "Ms. Dai, may I have a dance with you?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling well!"
Dai Shiyu rejected him decisively.
The smile on Fang Hao's face froze. He could only suppress his rage secretly and sit back down. However, he was thinking about how to get Dai Shiyu's heart.
At that moment …
William, the blonde young man from before, walked to the table where Ye Chen and the rest were. He performed an extremely gentlemanly invitation to Dai Shiyu. "Ms. Dai, I wonder if I have the honor to dance with you?"
He glanced at Ye Chen in a provocative manner as he spoke to this point. "Sir, your girlfriend is very beautiful. Do you mind if I do this?"
Before Ye Chen could speak, Dai Shiyu spoke first, "I mind!"
"That's too bad!"
William smiled in disappointment. He turned his eyes to Fang Mi who was looking at him eagerly. "What about you, ma 'am?"
"I'm willing!"
Fang Mi's heart skipped a beat and she agreed immediately. It was hard for her to resist William's handsomeness and politeness.
The duo walked to the dance floor while holding hands.
A bug landed on Ye Chen's shoulder quietly.
…
On the third floor of the banquet hall, Tang Ning looked down from above.
Tang Ning looked down from above. She had her eyes on Ye Chen, and her expression kept changing.
Young Master Shen, who was standing beside Bess, saw everything that had happened. Without batting an eyelid, he smiled and said, "Bess, shall we go down and have a dance?"
"No, go ahead!" Tang Ning shook her head lightly.
Young Master Shen secretly frowned and subsequently walked down. He invited a lady and joined the dance floor as countless people watched enviously.
In another room, Chiba Yoshiko was also looking at Ye Chen.
She looked back and forth between him and Wang Long. She seemed to have recalled something all of a sudden and said coldly, "So, it's him!"
"Who is he, Miss?" No-kun, who was standing aside, was looking down too. However, he had his eyes on Dai Shiyu.
Chiba Yoshiko enunciated word for word, "It's this Chinese who killed the Kusakabe clan's two ninjas. He's also the one who saved Sun Yee On Guild's leader, Wang Long!"
She did not think about it when she saw Ye Chen earlier. She only thought that his physique was a little familiar. However, when she saw Wang Long walking very close to him, she realized something.
However, she finally recognized him after seeing Wang Long walking close to him.
"What?"
No-kun squinted and his expression changed. "He's the person in the battle video? That's impossible, right? Young Master Lei said that there's no cultivation base coming from this person. He's just an ordinary person.
"Do you want me to capture him and interrogate him?"
He was getting up as he spoke.
"No-kun, wait!"
Chiba Yoshiko stopped him. "This is Young Master Lei's territory. Don't act recklessly in public. We need to come up with a plan. However, I can test him before that!"
She got up and walked out of the room after saying that.
Meanwhile, Tang Ning walked down as well.
She attracted many people's attention as soon as she appeared. However, Tang Ning did not care at all. Instead, she led Mr. Yao to Ye Chen's table.
As everyone watched in shock, Tang Ning smiled lightly.
She said to Ye Chen while looking at him, "Sir, may I have a dance with you?"
