"How about you?" Xiao Yefeng looked at Liu Yiyi after hearing Mei Mo'er's words.
At that moment, Liu Yiyi wore a helpless expression and replied, "I... I don't know. The other three families and the overseas collaborating families are all possibilities."
"So many?" Xiao Yefeng asked in confusion.
"There’s no choice. Too many people have their eyes on the Liu Family. You know this generation; it’s just me. Marrying me means the Liu Family belongs to him, so there are more than just a few who are interested in me!" Liu Yiyi said helplessly.
"Not just a few; I think there’s a whole regiment!" Mei Mo'er teased.
"You too, aren’t you?" The two goddesses began to playfully banter in front of Xiao Yefeng.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng's thoughts were racing. From the initial excitement, he had gradually calmed down. Why was he so stirred up about Mei Mo'er and Liu Yiyi being proposed to? Looking at Liu Yiyi's face, he had to admit that he liked her a bit. Even Mei Mo'er had a slight appeal to him. This was human nature; Xiao Yefeng wouldn’t hide it. However, he knew this was a man’s instinct—facing the alluring Two Goddesses, no one could avoid feelings of admiration.
Yet admiration was one thing; Xiao Yefeng could see from the fates of the Two Goddesses that they were connected to him, but there was no crossing of boundaries. In both of their fates, they were like sisters to him. Xiao Yefeng understood that his romantic destiny was obscured; this was something every Geomancer experienced. Knowing each other and falling in love didn’t guarantee they would end up together, and being together didn’t mean they would last.
Regardless, Xiao Yefeng would protect Liu Yiyi, and of course, Mei Mo'er was included in that protection. So he turned to the Two Goddesses and asked, "Do you have your own preparations for what comes next?"
"I’ve been prepared for a long time. That Sniveler won’t be able to defeat me! Brother Xiao, can you help Sister Yi Yi strategize?" Mei Mo'er said. For some reason, ever since the incident with the Mei Family, she had lost her pursuit of Xiao Yefeng. He didn’t understand why but felt it was a good thing, so he didn’t dwell on it.
"I don’t want to get married, especially not to any of these people. None of them care for me or love me; they’re all after my wealth and status. I will not accept any of their proposals!" Liu Yiyi declared firmly.
Looking into Liu Yiyi's eyes, Xiao Yefeng steeled his resolve and said, "Alright, I understand now. Don’t worry; whether it's for our friendship or Aunt Qing's sake, or even his instructions, I won’t let you suffer any grievances! I will attend the upcoming banquet. Mei Mo'er, do you know any designers who make suits? Help me rush a dress!"
Xiao Yefeng's words left the Two Goddesses in shock. Liu Yiyi understood the meaning behind Xiao Yefeng's words, knowing that Liu Xuanhuang's dying wish was something Xiao Yefeng intended to fulfill for a lifetime. Liu Yiyi grasped this, while Mei Mo'er sensed something but remained unaware of the full context; she could only feel that the conversation seemed like one between lovers, yet it carried a different undertone. Nevertheless, Mei Mo'er promptly executed Xiao Yefeng's instructions.
After a phone call, a team of fashion designers rushed to the Golden House Courtyard. They measured sizes and sketched designs, and within an hour, drafts for over ten suits were completed. After reviewing these designs, Xiao Yefeng shook his head. One designer, who appeared to be the leader, approached and said, "Mr. Xiao! We would like to know what style of suit you prefer! These encompass all suit styles."
Li Guohua, a world-renowned private fashion designer, was not one to accept just any order in Huaxia. By chance, he had met Mei Mo'er while seeking treatment from Mei Yulou. Delighted by her invitation, Li Guohua brought his team along. However, he was taken aback when even his designs were rejected by this man, which made him quite angry; yet his composure kept him from exploding.
Xiao Yefeng noticed the man's frustration and explained, "It's not that these clothes are unattractive; it's just that they hinder movement. For example, if I do this..."
With that, Xiao Yefeng performed a backflip and executed a set of movements from the Folding Plum technique. The sound of tearing threads echoed from his athletic jacket as he moved. Unable to articulate further, he demonstrated instead. On the other side, Li Guohua's eyes lit up as he watched Xiao Yefeng's fluid motions; clearly, he understood what Xiao Yefeng meant.
Li Guohua then flipped over his design sketches and quickly sketched out a new outfit. The intricate design allowed for internal pleats at all stress points, enhancing the range of motion for the entire outfit. However, there was one issue: this Western-style suit would not have the same refined appearance as traditional formal wear due to the excessive pleating.
After receiving Xiao Yefeng's approval, he also offered suggestions for modifications: adding hidden pockets in the back large enough to hold the Bagua Mirror and front pockets deep enough to conceal the Seven Star Needle. Li Guohua found no issue with these changes, and together they finalized the design. Once Xiao Yefeng paid in full with his card, Li Guohua promised delivery by noon the next day.
After wrapping up these matters, Xiao Yefeng was pulled by Mei Mo'er and Liu Yiyi to study for an upcoming event. The aristocratic gathering was not just a socialite affair; some attendees needed to be familiarized with beforehand.
After an afternoon of memorizing names from photographs, Xiao Yefeng finally remembered key members from the Four Great Families attending the event. He then seized the opportunity to practice; nighttime was when Qi points were most active. Determined not to miss any chance for improvement, he found that without spirit stones to assist him, absorbing Qi yielded minimal results. However, he had become adept at controlling the opening and closing of his Yin-Yang Eye, and his Psychic Blade had also gained strength.
Time flew by, and soon it was time for the aristocratic gathering. In those two days, Xiao Yefeng had transformed from a commoner into a local tycoon. Not only did he don nearly a million worth of suits, but he also received his first dividend from Liu Yiyi and purchased a car—thanks to connections—he managed to acquire a Land Behemoth previously owned by Zhebie.
If anyone were to be deemed the most successful at this aristocratic gathering, all eyes would turn to Xiao Yefeng—not for any other reason than the fact that he entered holding Liu Yiyi's hand, effectively throwing a bomb into the crowd.
The venue for the gathering was a banquet hall at a Seven-Star Hotel in Beijing North. Just moments ago, an uncommon Five Spirits - Land Behemoth rolled in with a thunderous roar and parked on the red carpet. From it emerged Xiao Yefeng alongside Liu Yiyi in an elegant evening gown. With her slender waist barely graspable and her aqua-colored gown revealing her delicate shoulders and enticing neckline, Liu Yiyi captured everyone's attention as her flowing skirt danced with every step she took—she became the focal point of the entire event.
A fairy who draws countless gazes appeared, unexpectedly linking arms with a man whose face was unfamiliar to anyone. The two walked closely together, stepping onto the Red Carpet, and soon vanished at the entrance of the hotel.
At that moment, in the banquet hall, Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi had already entered. The news of Liu Yiyi's arrival had spread among those present. Liu Yiyi, holding onto Xiao Yefeng, walked into the hall. Their outfits matched perfectly in light blue, creating an impression of them being a couple. The design of their clothing complemented each other beautifully, making it evident that Xiao Yefeng was Liu Yiyi's boyfriend.
"Brother Xiao, do we really have to do this? By doing so, we will completely offend the person who proposed!" Liu Yiyi was a talented woman in the business world. However, despite her success in dominating the market and outmaneuvering the Zhu Family, she found herself at a loss for ideas. After all, her business education taught her not to make enemies with any potential partners.
"Yiyi, you're very smart, but you should also know that even in business, when you collaborate with one person, you inevitably offend others. Sometimes, decisive action is the way to go!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
Just as Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi posed for photos with the media, several wealthy young men gathered on the second floor of the banquet hall, watching the couple on the Red Carpet below.
"Yang Shao! It seems like Liu Goddess has already been taken!" A man dressed in a pristine white suit approached from a distance, holding a glass of red wine. Although his words were polite, the smirk on his lips and the sarcasm in his tone were unmistakable.
"Hmph! Mu Yang, stop with your useless chatter. I don't believe you have no interest in Liu Yiyi and the Liu Family. You're already twenty-five or twenty-six and still unmarried; isn't it all for her?" A man surrounded by wealthy young men stood up in response to Mu Yang's provocation.
The man referred to as Yang Shao was indeed strikingly handsome, with sharp brows and eyes resembling those of an eagle. His high nose gave him an air of nobility. What was most peculiar about Yang Shao were his eyes; unlike typical East Asian features, he had yellow skin but striking blue eyes reminiscent of Caucasians. This unique combination made him even more attractive. Observant guests at the party noticed that numerous socialites were secretly watching him.
Of course, standing beside Mu Yang was also a handsome man. Compared to Yang Shao's exotic charm, Mu Yang embodied the standard Eastern beauty. If some socialites were drawn to Yang Shao's allure earlier, Mu Yang now captured another portion of their attention as he walked in from behind.
However, Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi soon noticed something unusual on the second floor. As Xiao Yefeng glanced at the two men above, memories stirred within him: Yang Qingfeng, first heir of the Yang Family from the Four Great Families of China; Mu Yang, first heir of the Mu Family from the same prestigious group. Xiao Yefeng hadn't expected these two prominent families to cross paths so quickly at this event.
