The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 704: Family Interests

Shen Feng cast a glance at Long Fei and smiled faintly at his reaction, as if he had anticipated it all along.

In front of outsiders, the Secret Realm is but the tip of the iceberg.

But to those in the know, its full scale has already been revealed.

Shen Weiguo looked at the crowd with pride. In the face of the upcoming major changes in the future world, the Shen Family had evidently taken a step ahead of others and seized the opportunity.

Once the audience quieted down, he continued, "Now, let me introduce a special envoy from Mount Shu, Li Yunxiao. This young friend, though young in age, is already a direct disciple of the Mount Shu Sect Leader. He has made a special trip to attend my daughter’s birthday party, and for that, I, Shen Weiguo, am deeply grateful. Here, I would also like to announce another significant matter. The Mount Shu Sect Leader, Daoist Cang Songzi, intends to arrange a marriage between my daughter and Li Yunxiao. After careful consideration by our Shen Family, we have decided to set this marriage contract today. Once the time is ripe, we will hold a wedding ceremony for them. I hope all relatives and friends will honor us with your presence when the time comes."

Shen Yan’er looked surprised and somewhat at a loss, she glanced at her father.

Before she could speak, Shen Weiguo glared at her and she helplessly furrowed her brow and swallowed her breath.

Li Yunxiao’s expression remained calm. In his eyes, it was a stroke of luck for a woman of the Secular World to marry a genius like him.

If it weren’t for Mount Shu’s intent to support agents in the Secular World, he would have disdained coming to this plane of existence.

The Spiritual Energy was thin and the smell was foul, suffocating air pervaded everywhere.

The women lacked the grace of women, dressing provocatively, with hardly an ounce of propriety.

However, to tell the truth, they were quite sexy at a glance.

Li Yunxiao had been in this world for three days, and from his initial extreme disgust, he had gradually become accustomed to it.

At Mount Shu, there were many disciples under the Sect Leader, and he wasn’t really the most favored one.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been dispatched here.

But here, he felt like the master of fate.

He was the sky of this place, and his cultivation level allowed him to dominate over everyone, acting without restraint.

With just a flick of his hand, he could obtain everything he desired.

As he observed the admiring and flattering gazes of the high-ranking officials around him, he finally felt somewhat appeased about being dispatched here.

His eyes playfully fixed on Lin Yingying. He had noticed this woman as soon as she appeared.

She was the second woman in the mortal realm who had caught his eye.

Even her temperament surpassed that of Shen Yan’er by a good measure.

It was a pity this woman seemed a bit blind, staying alongside a rough and robust man.

Just now, this woman even said he was inferior to the man by her side. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Li Yunxiao was clearly a bit angry. He had exerted some spiritual pressure earlier to teach this visionless woman a lesson.

Who would have thought that the man beside her would also exert spiritual pressure, blocking his spiritual power, and even seemed faintly stronger than his own.

He scrutinized Long Fei from head to toe, wondering if he had seen a ghost. Could there actually be a Core Formation Stage expert in this world?

In such an environment with thin Spiritual Energy, how could there be someone of this cultivation stage?

Li Yunxiao’s mind was a bit muddled as he stared at Long Fei for a while, with furrowed brows.

This was a person who dared to challenge his authority!

Li Yunxiao mentally took note of Long Fei, planning to inquire about him later.

He was a man of steady thoughts, not prone to impulsiveness.

Without absolute certainty, he wouldn’t easily make a move.

Shen Yan’er, with a forced smile, cut the cake mechanically and, like a puppet, handed it out to everyone.

The high-ranking officials nearby were all buttering her up.

Any woman who could forge a connection with the Mount Shu Sect Leader would undoubtedly become a top-tier existence in that world.

If the two worlds were to completely open up, everyone present who goes into the Secret Realm to do business would have to rely on the Shen Family for help.

Others saw Shen Yan’er as lofty and gloriously endless.

Yet Lin Yingying shook her head and sighed lightly, "Women of great families are always helpless."

Long Fei was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

He had been entirely preoccupied with secretly clashing with Li Yunxiao and hadn’t noticed what expression Shen Yan’er had worn.

Lin Yingying rolled her eyes at him, unsure whether he was genuinely clueless or just pretending.

Shen Yan’er came over with a plate, handing two pieces of cake specifically to Long Fei and Lin Yingying, saying politely, "Thank you for coming to my birthday, you both make such a handsome couple, truly well-matched!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Yingying knew her words came from the heart, their happiness highlighted Shen Yan’er’s misfortune, adding a deeper bitterness to Miss Shen of the Shen Family’s eyes, even her voice trembled with a hint of tears when she spoke.

However, Shen Yan’er’s spirit was stubborn, and she quickly smoothed out her emotions.

If she wanted to achieve something in the Cultivation World, she needed to find a powerful backing.

Mount Shu was clearly that support, important not only to her but also to her family.

As the legitimate grandchild of the Shen Family, she had no other choice.

Her look complex, she glanced at Long Fei, adjusted her mood, and turned to distribute cake to the others.

The surrounding crowd watched Long Fei and Lin Yingying, their eyebrows raising in curiosity.

They whispered among themselves, wondering about the couple’s background, for Shen Yan’er to have personally brought them cake.

Such treatment wasn’t even afforded to some of the Shen Family’s own relatives.

Long Fei, oblivious to the intricacies of a woman’s mind, took a bite of the cake, offering praise, "Not bad, the cake of the wealthy made with fresh cream indeed has a delicious taste!"

"Dummy!"

Lin Yingying smiled, thinking it was quite nice to have such a silly husband.

Although sometimes he might be oblivious to romance, at least she felt safe with him by her side!

The look Shen Yan’er had given just now was clearly one of hesitation, hoping for Long Fei to say something that would help her make up her mind.

Little did she know, Long Fei was entirely blind to such subtleties.

Or perhaps, he had no interest in them whatsoever.

Lin Yingying watched Shen Yan’er, feeling that she must have given up on Long Fei by now.

The birthday banquet concluded, and the guests gradually dispersed.

Shen Feng escorted Long Fei and Lin Yingying out, asking them, "So, the trip wasn’t a waste, was it?"

Long Fei looked at him, "What more secrets are you hiding? Did you orchestrate this marriage too?"

Shen Feng shrugged his shoulders, sighing, "I don’t have that much influence, it was my master who arranged it. Actually, I can see that Yan’er doesn’t feel that way about Li Yunxiao!"

Long Fei frowned, "Then why did you agree to this?"

Shen Feng replied, "When you’re part of the jianghu, you can’t control your own destiny. We are the descendants of the family, and we must prioritize the family’s interests, something you wouldn’t understand. There are indeed many secrets here, and if you want to know them, all you need to do is join the Dragon Group."

Long Fei laughed heartily, "Forget it, keep your secrets for the New Year celebration!"

He would never have joined the Dragon Group before, and he certainly wouldn’t now.

He had scores to settle with Mount Shu, and it would only complicate matters to become too closely aligned with Shen Feng in the future.
