"Why not go? It's said this banquet costs over a hundred million. Let's go and soak up the atmosphere, experience the luxurious life!

Besides, all the high society of Longcheng will be there. It's perfect for discussing some business issues!"

Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Meng and said.

"But I'm worried that if we go, there'll be trouble. The Jiang clan wouldn't invite us out of goodwill. They're likely to pressure us using the King of Qi and embarrass us."

Jiang Meng replied.

"With your husband here, there's no need to worry about those things. Besides, the King of Qi is a major figure. Why would he bother with small fries like us?

Your husband's already down and out. He probably won't bother dealing with me!"

Xiao Chen laughed.

"Don't you dare call yourself down and out!"

Jiang Meng covered Xiao Chen's mouth and said: "Alright, I got it. We'll go!"

"That's more like it!"

Xiao Chen chuckled.

At the Jiang clan's side.

"Did they say they'd come?"

Jiang Yurong asked.

"Yes!"

"Good, it's good they're coming. We can use this opportunity to strike at them and make Jiang Meng hand over the Xinmeng Group obediently."

Jiang Yurong sneered: "Jiang Meng, Jiang Meng, don't blame me. For the sake of the Jiang clan, I have to put you through this. Besides, sticking with a loser like him, what future do you have?

If some Young Master from the Ancient Clan takes a liking to you, then you'd really be living a good life."

"Exactly. If we can't acquire Xinmeng Group, we'll use the power of the Beiqi Ancient Clan. If Xiao Chen dares disrupt the banquet, he'll surely anger the King of Qi, and then he's doomed!"

Jiang Cheng added.

Today's banquet might just be the Jiang clan's most glorious moment.

And also a chance to avenge Xiao Chen—why not?"

The banquet was held at Longcheng Grand Hotel, and the Jiang clan had completely booked the hotel for the day; outsiders were barred from entry.

In order to please the King of Qi Xiao Bai, the floor was covered with a red carpet, and all sorts of decorations were aplenty, like a palace.

The Jiang clan members arrived early to welcome the King of Qi and others.

Like welcoming a monarch from ancient times, grandiose and respectful.

The socialites from Longcheng and nearby places like Chaoyang City and Glazed Glass City were also waiting eagerly, anticipating the arrival of the King of Qi.

Soon after, the King of Qi Xiao Bai along with his daughter Jiang Wuyue and many followers from the Beiqi Ancient Clan arrived.

At that moment, the entire venue buzzed with excitement.

Countless socialites stood on both sides, cheering enthusiastically.

Not long after, Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng also arrived.

Of course, they were accompanied by Ren Jing and Ghost Blade.

Seeing the scene, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, noting that the Beiqi Ancient Clan went to such lengths likely with a purpose.

It was unlikely just to show off.

As soon as Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng arrived, the Jiang clan received the news.

"They've come! Those two actually dared to come. Do they think being in Longcheng means we won't dare touch them?

The Beiqi Ancient Clan doesn't even take the War God King seriously."

Jiang Wanying exclaimed excitedly: "We need to create some incidents, let them clash with the Beiqi Ancient Clan, and have them dealt with by the Ancient Clan!"

"Right!"

Everyone was excited, as if seeing Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng kneeling before them, handing over Xinmeng Group.

Just imagining it was thrilling.

Xiao Chen glanced at the guests, noting many had business ties with Xinmeng Group.

The purpose of inviting these people by the Beiqi Ancient Clan was obvious—to apply pressure to Xinmeng Group.

The same old tricks, truly boring.

At this moment, the people of the Beiqi Ancient Clan, looking at the scene, held their heads high, like proud roosters.

To them, the secluded life of the past was too dull.

The secular world was better.

Once they entered the secular world, it was as if they were a class above.

Admired by countless people.

The feeling was exhilarating!

No wonder so many were enamored with this vibrant world, how could one not be?

Due to the presence of the Beiqi Ancient Clan, the Jiang clan rose with the tide. Those who previously ignored them were now respectful, fearing to offend them.

The Jiang clan members were also proud, each like a phoenix soaring through the skies.

The King of Qi and Jiang Wuyue were clearly pleased with the Jiang clan's arrangements.

The secular people handling secular matters, truly more fitting.

"Any clues about that absolute expert?"

The King of Qi asked his subordinates.

He had already tasked the Jiang clan with inquiring.

Among the many socialites here, perhaps someone knows.

Or maybe, the absolute expert would appear here too.

"We've inquired one by one, but no clues yet."

A subordinate replied.

Jiang Wuyue looked at the people around and suddenly said: "Father, do you think that absolute expert might be among these people? After all, judging by the looks, they are living as ordinary people in the secular world."

"If so, that would be wonderful!"

The King of Qi laughed: "But I doubt it. That absolute expert is clearly a low-key person. If we hadn't provoked him that day, he might not have acted.

Anyhow, with so many here today, we'll surely get some leads.

Let the Jiang clan handle it well."

"Rest assured, Clan Leader, I've already ordered, if anyone knows, they'll surely tell us."

Jiang Baili said: "No one dares to disrespect our Beiqi Ancient Clan."

"Princess Wuyue, would you grace us with a conversation?"

At this moment, several young gentlemen approached, asking politely and courteously.

"Go ahead, mingle with them more. As the Beiqi Ancient Clan expands in the secular world, we'll need their help."

Xiao Bai said.

"Alright!"

Jiang Wuyue also enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

Among the young men, she was nearly exalted, relishing the experience.

Though she had little interest in these mundane folks, their eager efforts seemed amusing.

Yet she was still very satisfied with this treatment.

She felt as though a celestial being descended, showing interest in only one person.

That was the absolute expert.

The mysterious young man.

Though humiliated, she couldn't stop thinking about him these past days, unable to forget.

While accepting everyone's flattery and courtesies.

She purposely glanced around.

"Princess Wuyue, what are you looking at?"

Someone asked curiously.

"Hmm, nothing. Just looking for a friend in the secular world, to see if they've come today!"

Just as she said this, Jiang Wuyue suddenly froze.

They really came!

She spotted a figure, a familiar figure.

No mistake, it was them who had humbled the Beiqi Ancient Clan on that day, teaching them there's always a sky above a sky, a person beyond a person.

She chased after them, wanting to catch a good glimpse.

"You all go, block the entrance of Longcheng Grand Hotel, and tell my father the absolute expert has appeared!"

She called over several people from the Beiqi Ancient Clan, instructing as she continued her pursuit.
