In a state of confusion, they found themselves involved in the matter. At that moment, within the Metaphysics Society, Xiao Yefeng and others were seated in the conference room. Jiang Xing looked at everyone and nodded, saying, "Since it has come to this, let's give it our all. In these last ten years, everyone should strive hard! Starting now, every month, members at the Pseudo Spirit and Inner Force levels will receive ten spirit stones, while those at the True Spirit Dark Force level will receive fifty spirit stones. There will be no limit on supply for now! I hope we can produce more talents in this final push!"
This decision was made after much discussion among everyone. Of course, there were many who disagreed; they believed that at this final stage, it would be better to abandon new members and focus entirely on nurturing those at the True Spirit Dark Force level to prepare for the ultimate battle. Ultimately, this democratic era led to a vote that determined the final strategy.
Afterward, everyone dispersed. Xiao Yefeng and Jiang Xing went to visit the unconscious Zhou Zhiguo. Meanwhile, Heishan also joined them due to Xiao Yefeng's influence. When Xiao Yefeng inquired about Zhou Zhiguo's condition, Jiang Xing delivered good news: Zhou Zhiguo had been recognized by Azure Maiden as not being one of those needed by that group, so Azure Maiden had left behind a pill.
All they needed to do was feed it to Zhou Zhiguo later. However, Xiao Yefeng sensed Jiang Xing's helplessness. Upon further questioning, he learned that the pill had side effects—not exactly side effects of the pill itself but rather a consequence of a technique called Spirit Sacrifice Technique. Although taking the pill containing Absolute Yin Spirit Grass could expel the malevolent energy and curses within him, Zhou Zhiguo was an ordinary person without spiritual protection, making his condition after awakening uncertain.
He might lose memories from recent years or experience confusion; in any case, he would not return to his complete self. Weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yefeng informed Wang Cuifen about everything and handed her the pill. He entrusted everything to her. However, the Metaphysics Society was not heartless; in the future, both husband and wife could work at the Metaphysics Society doing cleaning duties, providing them with stable employment as compensation for the society's previous negligence.
As for Misty Bar's situation, unexpectedly, Jiang Xing explicitly prohibited Xiao Yefeng from concerning himself with it and urged him to focus on his cultivation instead. Xiao Yefeng maintained his trust in Jiang Xing; after all, he had already arrived in Hangzhou, so it was fine for him to handle it.
After wandering around the headquarters of the Metaphysics Society for a bit and watching some free movie and television filming downstairs, when he returned to the Metaphysics Society, he found Zhou Zhiguo walking with Wang Cuifen's support. Seeing that Zhou Zhiguo seemed relatively coherent was reassuring; however, according to Wang Cuifen, Zhou Zhiguo had indeed lost some memories. Still, this was a stroke of luck compared to the other four—he was still alive!
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng's phone suddenly rang. Upon answering, a slightly angry female voice said, "Hmph! Brother Xiao, I've already booked a stylist for you. Even if you're busy, you need to show up! You can't expect me to just buy you a random outfit for our graduation ball!"
"Yiyi, wait a moment! I'm buying a ticket back to Hangzhou right now; I'll see you at Golden House Courtyard in two hours!" After hanging up abruptly, Xiao Yefeng realized he had forgotten about this matter—forgetting an appointment with a girl was sure to provoke outrage; especially since it involved two beautiful women!
Originally, Xiao Yefeng only remembered that the graduation ball started at eight o'clock in the evening and thought he could arrive before then. However, Liu Yiyi's call reminded him that he had other responsibilities as a special entrepreneur invited by the school; he needed to arrive early for some procedural rehearsals and issues that needed addressing. As an invited entrepreneur, he also needed to dress appropriately—he couldn't just show up in tight combat gear paired with a cheap fifty-yuan jacket!
Oh! Now that he thought about it, this fairy-like woman had worn something similar before; if she went out wearing it now, it would sell for at least a hundred yuan! However, attending the graduation ball in such attire would definitely not suffice. Long before this moment, Mei Mo'er and Liu Yiyi had already arranged for a tailor to custom-make an outfit for Xiao Yefeng. Considering tailoring time into account meant he needed to return to Golden House Courtyard by noon at the latest—this was assuming that the tailor's team worked diligently!
Xiao Yefeng just couldn't understand why these wealthy people would rather spend an exorbitant amount on designing an uncomfortable outfit that they would likely only wear once before discarding it! He recalled how during gatherings with Constellation Mercenary Corps members they would all carry rifles and knives—blatantly displaying weapons used in countless killings as they dug into half-cooked whole lambs without hesitation; arriving late meant there wouldn't even be bones left! Such gatherings seemed far more suitable for Xiao Yefeng.
Looking at the time, there was less than an hour left until the next flight, and it only took twenty minutes to reach the airport. It seemed like ample time, but in reality, it was far from enough. Although transportation in Beijing North had become quite developed and the days of being stuck in traffic for over ten hours were long gone, things still weren't entirely smooth.
Without a dedicated escort to the airport, it would take nearly two hours at a minimum. In the best-case scenario, with an escort and a reserved lane, it could be done in less time. However, Xiao Yefeng couldn't believe he had that kind of privilege.
Fortunately, as fate would have it, members of National Security Team Three showed up. After some inquiries, he learned they were also headed to Hangzhou. Riding in the National Security Team Three's vehicle saved him the cost of a ticket, as National Security covered it. He reunited with familiar faces—Captain Chun Nanfeng and Xiao Ling—who exchanged smiles with him as they finally arrived at the airport just ten minutes before the flight was scheduled to take off.
During the ride, Xiao Ling repeatedly conveyed her father's gratitude. Now that they met again, Xiao Yefeng had already become a core member of the Metaphysics Society. The members of National Security Team Three still operated under the orders of both the Metaphysics Society and the military, which created an unspoken distance between them and everyone else except for Xiao Ling and Chun Nanfeng. Although they weren't particularly close to begin with, Xiao Yefeng could tell that this group had a mission, so they remained quiet. He understood their demeanor.
Once the plane landed, the National Security personnel were immediately picked up by their vehicle. This time, Xiao Yefeng couldn't continue riding with them, but it didn't matter since his own car was parked at the airport. He hopped into his vehicle and sped back to Golden House Courtyard.
As expected, there was a camper van and three sedans parked outside Courtyard Three; these must belong to the costume team. As soon as he entered, he was pulled inside by an anxious Mei Mo'er. Liu Yiyi sighed in relief upon seeing Xiao Yefeng return and said, "That's him!"
At that moment, when Xiao Yefeng saw the costume designer, he was taken aback—this was an old acquaintance! The last time he helped Liu Yiyi deal with Robert's proposal, this designer had created her outfit!
The next steps were straightforward: fitting and tailoring. Thankfully, it wasn't complicated; after a few hours of work with lightweight fabric for a dress suit, a fitted black Dark Lotus flower suit emerged. They even used leftover Dark Lotus embroidered fabric to make a tie. As expected from someone who knew what they were doing, after trying it on, Xiao Yefeng found that this outfit matched his preferences perfectly—designed for comfort and practicality while being more suitable for a ball; clearly, the designer had improved.
According to their earlier conversation, this graduation ball promised to be quite an event. The young master from the Hua Family—who had been humiliated by Mei Mo'er at Robert's family gathering—was also graduating this time around. Additionally, Nangong Yu from the Nangong Family would be attending as Mei Mo'er's boyfriend due to an invitation. It seemed destined that these three who had grown up together would finally reach some resolution.
However, it appeared that the Hua Family's son had already given up; his family's hopes for a strong alliance were dashed since Mei Mo'er didn't like him anymore. As for how everything would unfold tonight remained to be seen. According to Liu Yiyi's words, they could expect some dramatic television-like scenarios tonight; many couples would face their final moments together before going their separate ways tomorrow—comedy and tragedy alike would unfold.
The three of them were invited representatives of entrepreneurs and differed from other ordinary graduates. Mei Mo'er and Liu Yiyi held dual identities as graduates and invited guests; thus they each had two speeches prepared while Xiao Yefeng only needed to make a brief appearance for introductions before enjoying the show. However, due to their complex identities as Two Goddesses, they needed to arrive early at the venue; Xiao Yefeng could only act as their escort.
Since all three were heading out together, Liu Yiyi's small red sports car was no longer usable; she didn't have her own vehicle either. Therefore, they had no choice but to use Xiao Yefeng's large Land Behemoth. The massive vehicle accentuated Mei Mo'er's delicate figure—a striking contrast that caught everyone's attention. Both Two Goddesses wore their gowns for the night; Spicy Plum Mo'er looked like a blooming plum blossom in her dress—a perfect match for her graceful figure paired with a petal-like princess skirt.
Liu Yiyi wore an ice blue long dress. Although it wasn't as eye-catching as her outfit at the aristocratic banquet, she still received genuine praise from Xiao Yefeng. This time, her ample curves were completely concealed, and while Xiao Yefeng couldn't feast his eyes on her again, he felt fortunate that others couldn't see her either.
As for Xiao Yefeng, he donned a black suit with dark lotus embroidery, paired with a black tie and black leather shoes. With this ensemble, worth over three hundred thousand, one would hardly believe it looked just like a three hundred dollar suit from the street. Without a discerning eye and good taste, no one could recognize the handcrafted dark lotus fabric. Moreover, unless one looked closely, the name of designer Li Guohua inside the sleeve would go unnoticed.
After putting it on, Mei Mo'er teased Xiao Yefeng, and with a pair of large sunglasses, he resembled a standard bodyguard. Liu Yiyi found this amusing as well. However, this aligned perfectly with Xiao Yefeng's perspective; after all, it was a college graduation ball! Wearing clothes that clearly cost tens of thousands would only invite criticism.
