"What good is that! Do you think the people from the Huangfu Family would choose to leave the family business and work for another company? By the way, what is the relationship between Huangfu Rui and him?" Xiao Yefeng scoffed.
"Just cousins. Huangfu Ying is considered a somewhat important member of the Huangfu Family and is also a Geomancer, though his cultivation is roughly at the Pseudo Spirit stage. However, Huangfu Ying looks down on this identity and focuses more on business. It's worth mentioning that Huangfu Ying belongs to the line of Huangfu Jing!" Liu Yiyi explained.
Huangfu Jing, that name was quite familiar to Xiao Yefeng, though he had never seen him. The Four Great Families truly were prominent families in Huaxia, with only the Liu Family being somewhat thin; the sole heir, Liu Yiyi, was taken in by Liu Qing. This was a piece of information known only to a select few, as it was not something that could be openly discussed.
At this moment, Liu Yiyi and Mei Mo'er arrived with Xiao Yefeng. The principal, who was over sixty years old, immediately approached them with a smile. At this time, neither Liu Yiyi nor Mei Mo'er were his students anymore; they represented the Liu Family's Wankang Pharmaceuticals and the Mei Family's Mei Pharmaceutical, two major groups worthy of his personal welcome. Even Xiao Yefeng's Solar Group did not merit such an honor from the principal.
After some casual greetings, the three were invited into the office, which was clearly designed for meetings of this level. A main seat was flanked by ten others, evidently for the top ten enterprises in the south. As expected, Wankang Pharmaceuticals took the lead, followed closely by the Mei Family, while Solar Group was forcibly placed in third due to its association with these two groups.
As the four took their seats, at that moment, Huangfu Ying, as a student president, found himself in the lowest position and could only stand behind the principal. Before he could settle down, Hua Ao entered wearing a white suit and holding a bouquet of roses. Upon seeing Hua Ao, Mei Mo'er clearly looked displeased and seemed to avoid even looking at him; as soon as he walked in, her gaze shifted elsewhere.
"Hua junior! Please take a seat!" At this moment, Huangfu Ying stepped forward to ease the awkward atmosphere. The Hua Family's group was also present; according to name tags, Hua Ao could only sit in the sixth chair. After entering, Hua Ao's eyes were fixed on Mei Mo'er, who obviously ignored him. This situation continued for several minutes until another person entered.
Lu Shao walked in wearing a light gray suit with a fierce expression. Upon seeing Liu Yiyi, he disregarded everyone else and walked directly to her side. "Yiyi! I finally found you! I've been looking for you for the past six months but kept missing you. After tonight's ball, let's go to Elia Hotel for dinner; I've already booked the presidential suite!"
Xiao Yefeng glanced at Liu Yiyi, who wore an expression of helplessness. However, her cultivated demeanor prevented her from losing her temper easily. Standing up, Liu Yiyi said, "I'm sorry Lu Qingming; I'm not interested in your dinner invitation. Please just call me Liu Yiyi; our relationship isn't that close!"
But Lu Qingming took advantage of her response and immediately reached out to grab Liu Yiyi's hand. Although Liu Yiyi had been strengthened by Evil Qi and was no longer affected by her frail constitution, she still couldn't react quickly enough against Lu Qingming's grasping hand as it reached for her delicate fingers.
At that moment, a hand like an iron claw reached forward from behind and grabbed Lu Qingming's shoulder just inches away from catching Liu Yiyi's hand. Lu Qingming glared at Xiao Yefeng with eyes like those of a raging bear and said, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in my affairs! Do you believe you won't see tomorrow's sun?"
As soon as he spoke these words, Mei Mo'er turned her attention back to Hua Ao while Liu Yiyi and Mei Mo'er exchanged slight smiles without saying anything. The Two Goddesses were somewhat aware of Xiao Yefeng's strength and understood Lu Qingming as well; however, their enjoyment of watching drama did not mean that the principal would remain unbothered! The principal then spoke up: "Lu student! Don't be so hot-headed! Sit down; I believe even your Baiye International Group wouldn't want to ruin our graduation ball!"
"Huangfu Ying also said, 'Lu, this is Boss Xiao from Solar Group. He is an important partner of the Liu Family and the Mei Family!'
The old and young duo practiced Tai Chi with remarkable fluidity, their movements perfectly synchronized. In an instant, Lu Qingming had to retract his finger that was pointed at Xiao Yefeng, casting a malicious glance at him as he took a seat at the eighth chair.
Soon after, other group leaders arrived one after another. These individuals were all seasoned businessmen in their forties or fifties, meticulous in their dealings. Upon learning that Xiao Yefeng was the new head of Solar Group, they showered him with endless praise. Once everyone got acquainted with the evening's agenda, they settled in for the night, as it was the graduation ball.
The spacious conference room was quite open, adorned with a variety of delicacies. Xiao Yefeng, Liu Yiyi, and Mei Mo'er sat in the lounge area of the conference room, chatting animatedly.
'Wasn't I invited here to enjoy the festivities? Why does it feel like there's a life-threatening situation?' Xiao Yefeng said with a helpless smile.
Liu Yiyi replied with equal exasperation, 'Lu Qingming hasn't shown up at school for a long time. I didn't expect to run into him here. Who would have thought he would represent Baiye International Group! But Hua Ao is here too; why didn't Nangong Yu come? Instead, he sent the chief steward of the Nangong Family?' Liu Yiyi quickly changed the subject, avoiding Xiao Yefeng's topic.
'Who knows! Since he dared to stand me up, if he doesn't show tonight, I'll make him pay!' Mei Mo'er pouted angrily as she took a bite of cake.
At that moment, a gentle knock came at the door. When Xiao Yefeng opened it, he found Huangfu Ying standing there. 'Is there something you need?' he asked.
'I need to inform you about something in advance. Lu Qingming has bribed someone from the Martial Arts Society to challenge guests tonight! I think it's aimed at you!' Huangfu Ying explained briefly.
After sending Huangfu Ying away, Xiao Yefeng turned to the Two Goddesses and said, 'See? I really am in danger!'
'The Martial Arts Society must be the one founded by Li Shuanglong and Nie Wenyuan together! This could be problematic; we should find a way to decline when the time comes!' Liu Yiyi remarked after glancing at Xiao Yefeng.
Liu Yiyi's words ignited Xiao Yefeng's fighting spirit instead. He knew Liu Yiyi understood her own capabilities well; it was surprising that someone could provoke such a response from her. So he asked, 'What? You don't have confidence in me?'"
"It's not that I don't have confidence in you, but these two are as hopeless as Lu Qingming. Li Shuanglong is the heir of the Mechanism Sect, and Nie Wenyuan is a disciple of the Tang Sect from Sichuan. Both of them have trained in martial arts, but they specialize in underhanded techniques that harm others. Last time, during a sparring competition, when a Martial Arts Society from another school came to challenge, these two couldn't win and resorted to using ice Flying Needles to injure that person. After humiliating him, they drove him away. Two Ancient Warriors using such despicable methods against an ordinary person—I’m worried," Liu Yiyi said.
Xiao Yefeng smiled and replied, "It's okay. Since they want to use Yin Gate tactics, I can relax. Yiyi, don’t worry. I, Xiao Yefeng, managed to return home two years ago not just by luck and the captain's care. When it comes to scheming and playing tricks, I believe they will suffer greatly!" Xiao Yefeng was pleased with Liu Yiyi's concern, but being a bit of a chauvinist, he couldn't let a girl worry about him. Thus, he accepted the upcoming provocation in his heart.
While Xiao Yefeng and the others were conversing, on the other side, Hua Ao and Lu Qingming were also in discussion. Two shifty-eyed men were beside Lu Qingming; they were likely the same two that Liu Yiyi mentioned. At this moment, Hua Ao frowned and said, "It's not that I disagree with you taking action against that man; it's just that he looks very familiar, like I've seen him somewhere."
"Don't worry! With Shuanglong and Wenyuan here tonight, I will definitely make that guy lose face in public. As for Wenyuan’s anesthetic, forget it; this bottle of medicine is for you. Use it to freeze into Flying Needles. Tonight, I want him to become a big joke on stage!" Lu Qingming pulled out a small glass vial from his pocket, containing a single drop of colorless liquid.
Upon seeing this vial and the familiar liquid inside it, both Li Shuanglong and Nie Wenyuan felt a twinge of envy. Just based on this mysterious liquid alone, after these two had ingratiated themselves with Lu Qingming, they had never seen any woman he set his sights on escape his grasp—even married women or chaste maidens had fallen victim to him. They had witnessed Lu Qingming's methods once when he targeted a woman on the street.
Simply sprinkling this liquid under a woman's nose would instantly make her eyes glaze over; she would begin to undress right there in public. Lu Qingming would then lead her into the woods. Not only that, under the influence of that unknown liquid, she could even take down three men before finally collapsing in exhaustion. It was hard to imagine what would happen if such a substance entered a man's body!
After seeing Li Shuanglong and Nie Wenyuan leave with the glass vial, Hua Ao spoke up: "This is going too far. Using Indian Hehuan Sect's Slave Oil for this—aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Metaphysics Society? If this gets out, your family won't be able to protect you!"
"Stop with the useless talk! If it weren't for Mei Mo'er’s strong background, I bet you would have used this stuff long ago! Do you think diluting Slave Oil perfume countless times could fool me? Mei Mo'er probably looks down on you because she discovered your secret! You beast—Hua Ao!" Lu Qingming laughed as he patted Hua Ao on the back. The two seemed unrelated at first glance; however, who would have thought they were cut from the same cloth?
The charming Hua Ao had also indulged in forbidden substances—how many people knew about this?
