Chapter 92
“Greetings, Lord Sha!
Greetings, First Young Master, Second Young Master, Seventh Young Master, and First Young Mistress! ”
Suddenly, a respectful middle-aged man’s voice came from the door. It was Ji Chenggong’s voice.
He’s here!
Everyone snapped out of their thoughts, and their spirits were lifted. They stood up at the same time and looked in the direction of the door.
The members of the Sha Clan had a prestigious status. None of the young masters or elders in the Great Hall could easily offend them, unless that person was tired of living.
Why wasn’t Xiao Chen’s name there?
Could it be that Xiao Chen wasn’t here?
Everyone was disappointed but relaxed at the same time. They were conflicted.
Indeed!
Five figures appeared at the door, but Xiao Chen, the young man who was always dressed in black, was not there. The leader was the second elder of the Sha Clan, Sha Pohu. Behind him were Sha Buhui and four other noble-looking young masters and ladies of the Sha Clan.
“Greetings, Lord Sha!
Greetings, First Young Master, Second Young Master, Seventh Young Master, and First Young Mistress! ”
Everyone bowed at the same time and greeted the five people who just entered. Their voices were like thunder, echoing in the hall for a long time.
Killing Tiger had a straight face when he first came in, but when he saw hundreds of people respectfully salute him, a smile appeared on his face. His vanity swelled as he nodded with satisfaction and said, “Everyone, you may dispense with the formalities. Today, we are not here to hold a citywide meeting, we are here to congratulate Nephew Ji for awakening the Golden Armor Divine Gift. Therefore, there is no need to be restrained, haha!”
Killing Tiger’s gloomy and unique voice spread throughout the entire hall. He put on the demeanor of someone in a superior position, as if he was giving orders and accepting the worship of the people. He felt incredibly pleased with himself.
“Thank you, Lord Sha!”
Everyone bowed respectfully again. Then, they returned to their normal expressions.
Ji Haoyue was overjoyed when he heard Tiger Killer’s words. He wasn’t a fool. He immediately bowed to Tiger Killer like a junior of a big family and said respectfully, “Ji Haoyue thanks Lord Sha for his concern!”
“Nephew Ji, please rise. The Golden Armor Godly Gift is not bad. The younger generation will surpass us in time!
Haha! ”
Tiger Killer actually looked down on Ji Haoyue. So what if he awakened the Golden Armor Godly Gift?
Could it be compared to the Sha family’s Berserk God Bestowment?
Looking down on him was one thing, but he still had to put on a good show. After all, he was in front of all the big and small clans in the city. He had to show off his demeanor and identity as the killer, didn’t he?
When Ji Chenggong heard Sha Pohu praising his son, he sneered in his heart. However, he put on a smile and said, “Lord Sha, Young Masters and Young Ladies, please come in and take a seat!
Hehe. ”
“Yes.”
Killing Tiger nodded his head lightly, and then, under Ji Chenggong’s attentive guidance, they arrived at the Liu Clan’s banquet table. At that table, only Liu Ruhu, Liu Ruyue, and Grandma Liu were seated. There were still plenty of empty seats.
Ji Chenggong’s arrangement was very profound.
The Liu Clan’s strength was pretty much the strongest among the eight major clans. They were the most qualified to sit at the same table as the Sha Clan. The Sha Clan wouldn’t be disgusted. Of course, they couldn’t arrange a table for the Sha Clan alone. This would make the Sha Clan feel neglected.
When Liu Ruhu and the other two saw Ji Chenggong bringing the Sha Clan to their table, they were slightly surprised. Before their butts could even warm up, they immediately stood up. The three of them greeted in unison, “Greetings, Lord Sha, Young Master Sha, and Young Lady Sha.”
“Haha!
Brother Liu, Young Lady Liu, Elder Liu, you don’t have to restrain yourself. Just do as you please. Come, everyone, take a seat. ”
Tiger Killer’s attitude towards the Liu Clan was clearly much more low-key. He smiled from ear to ear, as though he was treating his own family.
Sha Buhui and the other two Young Masters of the Sha Clan initially maintained a cold and noble expression. However, when they saw the beautiful and alluring Liu Ruyue, their gazes became heated, and their faces became slightly flushed.
Liu Ruyue was actually not that old. She was only twenty-four years old. It was the age when women were beautiful and charming. Sha Buhui was four years older than Liu Ruyue, Sha Bufan was two years older than Liu Ruyue, and Sha Buhen was about the same age as Liu Ruyue.
Therefore, to the three of them, Liu Ruyue’s age was not considered old. Moreover, Liu Ruyue’s maturity and charm moved them even more. They had played with many young girls, but they had never played with an extremely mature and beautiful girl like Liu Ruyue.
The young lady of the Sha Clan was naturally a pampered and barbaric woman. Sha Buyu, of course, couldn’t miss out on such a lively scene. Her eyes were too high, and she didn’t have a sweetheart. Naturally, she wanted to find a candidate among the countless Young Masters who could become her white horse.
When she saw her three brothers staring at Liu Ruyue, she was not in a good mood. She began to compete with Liu Ruyue in terms of body and beauty.
Sha Buyu’s body was indeed very good. It was extremely hot. Some of the key areas were even bigger than Liu Ruyue’s. Her face was also very delicate and pretty, but compared to the flawless Liu Ruyue, she was still a little bit lacking. Moreover, Liu Ruyue’s mature and charming charm was not something someone her age could possess. She only had the immaturity of a young girl.
There were also many men in the hall who had their eyes on her. However, it was obvious that they weren’t looking at Liu Ruyue. If they were to compete in terms of charm, Sha Buyu would lose miserably. Acquaintances were invincible, and Liu Ruyue was a mature woman who was extremely beautiful. How could she not be the center of attention?
Liu Ruyue naturally felt the hostility from the young lady of the Sha Clan sitting opposite her. She also felt the stares from the three Young Masters of the Sha Clan. However, she didn’t mind it at all. Her expression was natural, and her actions were elegant. She pursed her lips and smiled lightly. “Lord Sha, your wisdom is unparalleled, and your strategy is outstanding. You manage the Sha Clan’s business in an orderly manner. I hope you can give me some pointers.”
“Eh?
Does Young Lady Liu really think so?
Or are you trying to please this old man?
Haha! ”
When Sha Buyu heard Liu Ruyue praising him, his heart blossomed with joy. However, on the surface, he pretended to be a little doubtful and joked. After a pause, he changed the topic and smiled meaningfully. “Everyone knows that Liu Ruyue is an expert in business. I wouldn’t dare to give you pointers, but I can still exchange pointers. I wonder if Miss Liu has time after the banquet? Would I have the honor to exchange pointers with Miss Liu alone?”
Sha Buyu’s obvious mockery and covetous words towards Liu Ruyue clearly spread throughout the quiet hall. Everyone’s hearts were filled with disdain, and they secretly cursed Sha Buyu for wanting to eat young grass. Their expressions remained calm as they listened attentively. They wanted to know how Liu Ruyue would reply.
Old pervert!
Liu Ruyue cursed in her heart. Her smile didn’t diminish as she flirtatiously rolled her eyes at Sha Buyu. Without leaving a trace, she changed the topic. “Lord Sha, this little girl’s body isn’t feeling well recently. How about next time?
Oh right, where is your Young Master Xiao Chen? ”
“Hmph!”
When Sha Buyu heard Liu Ruyue’s tactful refusal, he felt that it was a pity. His expression was still the same as usual. However, when Liu Ruyue asked about Xiao Chen, he couldn’t help but coldly snort. His expression instantly turned cold, just like a dead man’s face.
Cold!
Once Sha Buyu’s expression turned cold, the entire hall’s atmosphere turned cold as well. The smiles on everyone’s faces disappeared as they had all sorts of thoughts in their hearts. It was a little strange. Why did Sha Buyu suddenly change his expression?
Could it be that the rumor that Xiao Chen wasn’t well-liked by the Sha Clan was true?
Based on Sha Buyu’s current expression, it seemed like this was the case. Thinking about it, it made sense. Xiao Chen had such a cold and unfeeling personality. How could he be well-liked by the upper echelons of the Sha Clan?
Many people started to laugh sinisterly in their hearts. For example, Ji Haoyue, Situ Nan, Ji Chenggong, Situ Bei, and so on.
As long as Xiao Chen was chased away by the enraged Sha Clan, then Xiao Chen would lose the protection of the Sha Clan. No matter how ferocious a small wild wolf was, how could he escape from the pursuit of countless hunters?
Obviously, it was impossible!
When Xiao Chen lost his power, it would be the end of Xiao Chen.
Sha Buyu didn’t answer Liu Ruyue’s question. But Sha Bufan, who was beside her, sneered and said, “Xiao Chen?
That bastard?
Is he worthy of being the young master of our Sha Clan?
He will be kicked out sooner or later. How dare he attend such a high-class banquet?
Hehe! ”
Silence!
As soon as Sha Bufan’s words fell, the entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The expressions on everyone’s faces became even more interesting. Their eyes flashed with an indescribable feeling.
Sha Bufan, Sha Buhui, and Sha Bufan also sneered when they heard Sha Bufan’s words. They didn’t seem to care too much about it. It seemed like they didn’t care if outsiders knew about their hatred for Xiao Chen. What kind of expression would the Sha Clan Patriarch have when he found out about this?
Liu Ruyue could feel the extreme hatred of Xiao Chen for being killed. The smile on her face disappeared. She frowned slightly and lowered her head to think. She began to worry for Xiao Chen.
“Which pig said I wouldn’t come?”
Just when the hall was strangely quiet, an indifferent man’s voice came from outside the door. The voice was very soft, but it was clearly heard by the hundreds of people in the hall. It instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
