Chapter 147

There were many luxury cars parked outside the manor. Xue Fei’s fiery red sports car, which was extremely eye-catching on the city road, seemed inconspicuous.

“Why are there so many people?” Lu Sheng frowned.

Xue Fei opened the car door for him and explained in a small voice, “Senior Jiang is one of the most important people in Liangcheng. There are many things he cannot do because he can’t keep a low profile even if wants to. This is already a small scale event after Old Jiang tried his best to suppress the news …”

Lu Sheng originally came here with the intention of having a meal, but now he changed his mind. He planned to meet Jiang Jinian and then leave.

Before the two even reached the entrance, a waiter came up to greet them.

At the low-key yet luxurious banquet, men and women dressed in luxurious clothes sat in groups of two or three. They chatted casually with wine glasses in their hands. Every now and then, they would laugh softly.

It was a scene of high society.

Zheng Dandan and a woman stood in the corner. They watched the people coming and going as they whispered to each other.

[TL: The girl wearing sunglasses who tries to befriend Lu Sheng and asks to add him on social media.]

“Tonight’s banquet is not simple. Do you see over there? The Mayor of Liangcheng, and the President of the Martial Arts Association … Everyone here is an important figure in Liangcheng, or even the entire Dongning Province. If it weren’t for our good luck, we wouldn’t be able to get in.”

A woman wearing a dark blue evening gown with exquisite makeup whispered to Zheng Dandan.

“The main reason is that the organizer of this banquet is too important. The President of Liangcheng’s Spiritual Master Association, Senior Jiang Jinian … You should know what kind of people spiritual masters are. They are much more valuable than martial artists.

“Senior Jiang is just the President of Liangcheng’s Spiritual Master Association. Yet, even the President of the Dongning Province’s Martial Arts Association has to treat him with respect.

“Because in the entire Dongning Province, only the Liangcheng has a Spiritual Master Association. It may seem like a city division, but it’s no different from a provincial one …”

Hearing the woman mention spiritual master, Zheng Dandan seemed to have remembered something. Her gaze wavered.

“Xin Yuan, do you know what this banquet is about?”

The woman named Xin Yuan said mysteriously, “I knew you would ask this. It wasn’t easy for me to find out. Apparently, there is a Level 4 Spiritual Master in Liangcheng. Senior Jiang Jinian was so happy that he quickly organized this banquet …”

Zheng Dandan nodded and didn’t speak.

Seeing that Zheng Dandan didn’t react, the woman became anxious.

“Level 4. Do you know what a Level 4 is, Dandan? Reaching Level 4 puts on the same pedestal as Senior Jiang Jinian, a prominent figure at the provincial level. If he were in the military, he would at least hold the rank of a colonel or senior colonel. Someone like that can make the entire Dongning Province tremble. If we have the chance to catch the eye of someone like that, then we and our families will rise to the top.”

Zheng Dandan couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Is that Level 4 Spiritual Master very young?”

“I don’t know.”

The woman shook her head. “I don’t think he’s that old. Or else there wouldn’t be so many women here tonight …”

The woman glanced around and said to Zheng Dandan, “You have to treasure this opportunity. In our social circle, other than you and me, no one else is qualified enough to be here. This is why I brought you here today.”

Zheng Dandan bitterly chuckled and whispered, “Xin Yuan, you know I don’t like events like this.”

The woman glared at her and said, “Dandan, I heard from Wenhui that you’ve fallen in love with a high school student you met while travelling?”

Zheng Dandan was like a startled deer. She jerked her head up and then quickly shook her head to explain.

“No … no, don’t listen to Wenhui.”

“Hehe, you’re still pretending. You’ve been staying in Liangcheng and not going back to school because you were waiting for that guy, right? I heard he’s not bad looking and his family has some background. I think he’s related to the Eastern Military Region?”

The woman looked at Zheng Dandan helplessly and said, “Dandan, what do you want me to say to you? Even if you were in university, I wouldn’t care if you fell in love with some poor guy with no background. You’re young after all. Dating a few times is nothing. You’re going to break up sooner or later. But you … you fell in love with a high school student?! Are you out of your mind?”

The woman reached out and touched Zheng Dandan’s forehead with a look of disbelief.

Zheng Dandan dodged her hand and tried to argue, “Lu Sheng, he … he’s not … a normal high school student.”

The woman was speechless.

“Then he’s still a high school student.”

“Whatever, I’m too lazy to care.”

The woman looked around and said to Zheng Dandan, “There will be quite a few spirit readers at tonight’s banquet. Keep your eyes open. Even if you can’t attract the attention of that Level 4 big shot later, you can still attract a few young talents. Maybe one day you’ll break through and become a big shot … Did you hear what I said, Zheng Dandan?”

“Yeah, I got it, Xin Yuan.” Zheng Dandan answered helplessly.

Tonight, she really was dragged here by her best friend to attend this Spiritual Master Association’s celebration party. Ever since she parted ways with Lu Sheng last time, Zheng Dandan had been staying in Liangcheng. Because she knew that Lu Sheng would come to Liangcheng sooner or later for business.

Therefore, she waited at home, hoping that Lu Sheng would suddenly appear before her one day. However, she had sent Lu Sheng a lot of messages, but Lu Sheng didn’t reply. He didn’t even read them.

Leaving every message unread.

Zheng Dandan didn’t know if waiting like this would yield any results. But all she could do was wait … wait …

Just as Zheng Dandan was being dragged by her best friend to greet and socialize with the upper class, she caught sight of a shadow eating in the corner of her eye.

He wore a black suit and his body was tall and slender. One of his hands was casually stuffed into his pocket while the other hand was holding onto a fork and stuffing food into his mouth.

“Lu … Lu Sheng?!”

Zheng Dandan’s eyes widened. She wondered if she was seeing things or if she was hallucinating.

After she stared at that person for a full minute, the latter couldn’t help but stare at her as well. The moment their eyes met, Zheng Dandan finally confirmed that this person was Lu Sheng!

“Xin Yuan, I saw a friend. I’m going over.”

Zheng Dandan threw out this sentence and ran towards the person in her mind.

“Eh, Dandan, where are you going?”

The woman couldn’t stop Zheng Dandan. She followed Zheng Dandan’s direction and seemed to have realized something. A teasing smile appeared on her face.

“Zheng Dandan?”

Lu Sheng froze when he saw Zheng Dandan suddenly appear before him. He was a little surprised.
