The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 703 - 0: Major Secret News
Chapter 703: Chapter 0703: Major Secret News
The Shen Family owned several properties in Capital City, one of which was located near the Ming Tombs Reservoir.
This villa complex, backed by the Mangshan mountains and facing the reservoir.
The surrounding scenery is picturesque, even in winter it is very beautiful.
Long Fei drove Bai Jie’er’s Mercedes-Benz nanny car there, and the entrance to the villa was already lined with luxury cars.
Greeted by the security, they continuously looked for a place to park.
These two Mercedes-Benz nanny cars, altogether, were worth five or six hundred thousand.
But here, they seemed as shabby as delivery vans.
Glancing around, there was a long row of sports cars, all of which were the kinds often seen on computer wallpapers, the names of which I simply couldn’t recall.
Long Fei parked nearby and didn’t drive over to show off.
He and Lin Yingying got out of the car and couldn’t help but remark, "Shen Feng is not being honest, with so many people coming to the banquet, he actually said Shen Yan’er doesn’t have many friends?"
Lin Yingying laughed, "You see? Although there are many people, how many can really be considered friends?"
"That’s true!"
Long Fei looked at the young people dressed to the nines and thought to himself that if it wasn’t for the power of the Shen Family, these people definitely wouldn’t be so eager to come.
The villa was styled like a European manor, three stories high, with a main building in the center and two smaller two-story buildings on either side.
In front was a large lawn garden with ribbons hung about and tables and chairs set up for a buffet.
I don’t know who had created a small array here, but although it was cold outside, once inside the yard it wasn’t chilly at all.
Outside it was winter, but inside it felt just like spring.
The crowd was abuzz with conversation, and they all praised Shen Yan’er, "Miss Yan’er is indeed exceptionally talented, I heard she is also a member of the Dragon Group. She must have set up this array here."
"You’re telling me, with Shen Feng and Shen Yan’er, the future of the Shen Family is immeasurable."
"Ah, if only I could marry Miss Yan’er. Only a handsome man like me is worthy of Miss Yan’er!"
"Get real, didn’t you hear people talking? Shen Feng’s mysterious master has been looking for a talented individual for Shen Yan’er in the Secret Realm. Today, at the birthday party, that person might also make an appearance."
"Someone from the Secret Realm?"
"Geez, are they even the same as us?"
"..."
Long Fei and Lin Yingying stood with their wine glasses in an inconspicuous corner and overheard the conversation for a while.
Some of these young people were not of the Cultivation World, yet to Long Fei’s surprise, they were well informed of so many secrets.
The matter of the Secret Realm seems to be known by many families of the secular world as well.
Lin Yingying pinched Long Fei playfully and joked, "Did you hear that? Your little sweetheart might be getting an arranged marriage with someone from the Exotic Lands!"
"Don’t talk nonsense, she never took any interest in me in the first place," Long Fei retorted with a glance.
Lin Yingying covered her mouth with a laugh, having skipped breakfast early in the morning, and happily picked out some of her favorite foods to feast on.
The fish and shrimp here were fresh, certainly up to the standard of a five-star hotel chef.
Long Fei also ate quite a bit, which made the bunch of self-proclaimed sophisticated gentlemen nearby shake their heads in disapproval, thinking where did these bumpkins come from?
At an event of this level, one would at most have a drink just for appearances; one wasn’t supposed to actually eat.
Feeling a bit embarrassed by the stares, Lin Yingying wiped her mouth and reverted to a ladylike demeanor.
Having spent a lot of time with Long Fei, she unconsciously let loose and stopped minding her image.
Long Fei, on the other hand, couldn’t care less — let others look, he was there to eat.
After all, the food was provided by the Shen Family, not by those posers watching.
Suddenly, applause erupted from the crowd.
A beautiful woman in a white floor-length gown, with her hair done up high and exuding a cool elegance, walked down the red carpet.
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, sporting gold-rimmed glasses, had his arm linked with hers, greeting the guests present with frequent nods and gestures.
Following behind them were Shen Feng and another man, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, with handsome brows and bright eyes, his face as fine as jade.
The crowd looked at him and began to talk among themselves, unconsciously intimidated by his aura; it was clear he was no ordinary person.
The sense of superiority he exuded was as if a giant was looking down upon a group of ants.
His face was expressionless, yet it radiated an undeniable pride.
Long Fei furrowed his brows tightly, wondering if this man could be the same one mentioned earlier by others, Shen Yan’er’s beloved from the Secret Realm?
When a person’s cultivation level reaches a certain stage, their appearance will continuously evolve towards that of the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, cultivators often have pleasing appearances.
Comparable to beauties, or handsome gentlemen.
One glance at them, and you naturally find them attractive, a deep-rooted aspect of human genetics.
Because this is the nature of the Heavenly Dao, ingrained in the depths of human hearts.
Lin Yingying, upon observing this man, however, felt somewhat dismissive, "Skinny as a rake, not as handsome as you!"
She leaned on Long Fei’s shoulder, still finding her own man preferable.
A laugh escaped from Long Fei when the young man furrowed his brow and glanced in his and Lin Yingying’s direction.
A flicker of displeasure shone in his eyes, as if he had heard what Lin Yingying said.
Lin Yingying felt a shiver in her heart, whispering to Long Fei, "Why does my heart feel scared when he looks at me?"
Long Fei replied, "He is a Core Formation Stage cultivator; he applied a bit of pressure on you just now, so it’s normal for you to feel scared."
"What a petty guy!"
Lin Yingying muttered, thinking to herself that he dared to use spiritual power to pressure her just for a comment.
In the center of the red carpet, someone came pushing a cart.
The cart carried a large, multi-layered cake, decorated with roses all around, quite lavish.
Shen Yan’er’s father, Shen Weiguo, gestured with his hand, calling for silence from the crowd, and then he began, "Thank you, dear friends and family, for attending my daughter’s birthday celebration. There are no strangers here today, so I would like to take this opportunity to announce a significant piece of news. My daughter Shen Yan’er has formally joined the Outer Sect of the Mount Shu Sect as a disciple. Our Shen family will strengthen our cooperation with Mount Shu to jointly face the integration of the two worlds. I believe that with the joint efforts of the Shen family and Mount Shu, the two worlds will trust each other more and come together again in a more peaceful manner."
"What?"
"Heavens, the Mount Shu Sect?"
"Has the upper echelon already reached an agreement with the other world?"
"The world is really going to change!"
"Does this mean our business will get even better?"
"Finally, the day has come; will the business with the Secret Realm be fully open now?"
The surrounding crowd erupted in discussion.
Long Fei and Lin Yingying were even more surprised; they had not expected such a secret to be so casually revealed by Shen Weiguo.
It seemed that everyone present was in the know about this secret!
Being long-time residents of Binhai City, they now felt somewhat disconnected from wider events.
Whenever there are significant changes, the first to know are always these dignitaries, who often benefit from such foreknowledge.
Because of the asymmetry of information, they are a hundred times more capable of adapting than ordinary people.
They manage to reap benefits early on.
And they can also foresee and prevent any disadvantages.
Long Fei had thought that the two worlds were just beginning to communicate, but he was greatly mistaken.
Those present were very likely to have started doing business with the Secret Realm much earlier.
This is why they were so composed about that other world.
Even upon mentioning the Mount Shu Sect, there was no sign of surprise on their faces, almost as if they had known all along.
