Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 476 Ye Dashao 3(4)_1
Before meeting the protagonist, it was best for her to keep a low profile. Moreover, regarding her parting from Zhuge Feng, although they weren’t always together, they could still meet frequently. Now, for Zhuge Feng to see Shangguan You, it was even more difficult, so he cherished the time they could spend together.
The banquet was held in a villa in Hidden World Village, near the foot of the mountains. Surrounded by mountains and sea, it boasted a unique view, demonstrating the Ye Family’s status within the village. Could the Ye Family be the leader of the five major families?
Dazzling lights illuminated a top-notch feast. People in bright, beautiful attire came and went. The whole atmosphere of the banquet was extraordinarily good, with waves of wine aroma lingering among the guests and the melodious sound of a zither playing. Every aspect was a delight.
Shangguan You wore a white dress and a pair of diamond-studded high heels, her ink-like hair in small curls trailing behind her. Her attire was simple, and among the many glamorous women, she was the least noticeable one.
She even deliberately toned down her temperament to make herself more ordinary. As she and Zhuge Feng mingled in the crowd, despite their striking features, not a hint of Spiritual Energy about them drew attention, especially in Hidden World Village, where strength reigned supreme.
"Youyou," Zhuge Feng handed a glass of red wine to Shangguan You. The two of them stood in a corner, observing every person and family who made a grand entrance.
The first family to arrive was the Li Family. Li Chengqing, followed by Li Chengping, Li Cheng’an, and the younger members of their family—Li Zhaohong, Li Zhaolei, and Li Zhaoyang—had barely walked in when they were surrounded by the other guests present and showered with flattery.
Next, Zhuge Feng, accompanied by Elders Yang and Wu, and the younger members Zhuge Yao and Zhuge Peng, had just entered when the Fang Family arrived at the entrance.
Fang Qingsheng, along with Elders Fang Qingrong and Fang Qingyao, as well as Fang Jianfei and Fang Jianyu, entered and immediately began a warm conversation with Zhuge Feng and his group. Fang Qingrong’s eyes scanned the room, searching for Elder Meihua.
Shangguan You recognized all the people who had entered. She glanced over them indifferently and lowered her head again, now more interested in the Bai Family and the Ye Family. She had only seen Bai Muxue from the Bai Family and wondered what kind of person the Family Head would be. And the people from the Ye Family, those who had caught the eye of the Ye Family’s Third Young Master, intrigued her even more.
Ever since she learned she was attending tonight’s banquet, a sense of foreboding had lingered in her mind. Although she had tried to push it down, that premonition grew ever stronger in her heart.
Shangguan You lifted her head again just as the Bai Family walked in. The leading figure was obviously the Family Head of the Bai Family, Bai Tianche. He was likely over a decade older than Zhuge Feng, appearing to be in his forties. He had a square face, a gentle smile, and bore some resemblance to Bai Muxue. His demeanor was extraordinary; no wonder he had such an outstanding son.
By his side were Bai Muxue, and also Elder Qian and Elder Mu of the Bai Family. Behind them followed Rose, who shyly gazed at Bai Muxue. This was a complete reversal from her enthusiastic demeanor on the street that day. She hadn’t expected that Rose was also from the Bai Family.
The arrival of the four major families stirred a surge of excitement among those present. Opportunities to see the Family Heads or Young Masters of the four major families were rare, as they usually secluded themselves for cultivation. It was unexpected that today, all four Family Heads, including the always-mysterious Zhuge Feng and Bai Tianche, were here.
This further excited those who envied the four major families, as the presence of the four Family Heads and Young Masters further underscored the Ye Family’s position in Hidden World Village.
No sooner had the members of the four major families arrived than they were surrounded by people. Countless women encircled the Young Masters, casting flirtatious glances and eager to please. Among the four Young Masters, only Li Zhaolei responded to the beauties with a smiling face, while the others maintained a cold demeanor, merely nodding or shaking their heads, showing little interest in the women’s advances.
At this time, Zhuge Feng was already standing by Zhuge Feng’s side. With a polite smile, he greeted the crowd, casting occasional glances towards Shangguan You, worried about her being over there alone.
"Family Head Zhuge, where is Lord Meihua? And his elixir?" Li Chengqing had not forgotten Elder Meihua. He dispersed the crowd around him to inquire after Lord Meihua’s whereabouts from Zhuge Feng. After all, Elder Meihua was a guest invited by an Elder of the Li Family, and Li Zhaolei had recounted the events to them. Everyone harbored the desire to form an alliance with someone as profound as Elder Meihua and indeed could not afford to make an enemy of him.
"Yes, I too would like to meet such a distinguished senior," added Fang Qingsheng with a smile, also inquiring about Elder Meihua’s whereabouts.
"It is an oversight of my Bai Family that such a remarkable senior has come to Hidden World Village. May I ask where the esteemed Lord Meihua might be?" Bai Tianche rushed forward as well. The three Family Heads gathered around Zhuge Feng, pressuring him for answers. The Bai Family was responsible for the security of Hidden World Village, and the fact that Elder Meihua could arrive here unnoticed was a blow to Bai Tianche’s pride. He was particularly curious about Shangguan You, who had assumed the alias Meihua. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Despite Bai Muxue mentioning her prowess, rumors were never as convincing as meeting the person in the flesh.
"Hehe, Senior Meihua is a reclusive figure. He left the Zhuge Family this afternoon. I am unaware of his current location, but the senior mentioned that he would attend this evening. He wouldn’t miss the Ye Family’s grand banquet. Given his love for lively events, he is bound to appear. Family Heads, no need to hurry," Zhuge Feng answered with a faint smile, speaking untruthful words. Hearing them refer to the girl as a senior made Zhuge Feng want to burst into laughter; it was indeed a twist of fate.
Seeing the three Family Heads at a loss brought immense joy to him – a rare occasion indeed. He could imagine the priceless expressions of those who had been outwitted by the girl, once they found out that Elder Meihua was actually a seventeen-year-old girl. The thought of their reactions, perhaps even spitting blood in shock, made Zhuge Feng’s smile widen.
The girl had truly made a satisfying show of things. It was wonderful! His girl was so incredibly capable.
