As the Young Patriarch of the Yan Family, Phantasmagoria was also a genius. Of course, he was qualified to attend today's gathering.
Ye Chen felt Phantasmagoria's killing intent towards him, but he did not take any action.
This was the Domain Master's Mansion. Making a big fuss here would be disrespectful to the Domain Master. Therefore, Ye Chen did not want to start a fight here. Even Phantasmagoria, as the Young Patriarch of the Yan Family, did not dare to start a fight here.
Therefore, Ye Chen was not worried about Phantasmagoria. Instead, he began to think about the reason why Zhuo Jun invited so many young talents to attend this gathering.
In fact, there were many geniuses and masters in the Domain City. Just the number of masters on the Eastern Region List was more than a hundred.
There were even more masters who were not on the list.
After all, the Eastern Region's Fengyun List was only for young warriors under the age of 50. Therefore, although the warriors on the list were called geniuses, they were nothing compared to the entire Hidden Dragon World.
The warriors who could really affect the Eastern Region were at least masters at the level of the Elders of the Yuanshi Sect.
There were quite a lot of masters at this level in the gathering of various sects. The Yuanshi Sect alone had sent three Elders to the Domain City. The other sects had also sent a lot of masters.
In addition, the Yuanshi Sect had also sent Leng Xing, Yan Xian, and the others.
These three people were definitely stronger than Ye Chen and the others. However, they were over 50 years old, so they were not on the Eastern Region List.
Otherwise, Yan Xian and the others would definitely be in the top 100 of the Eastern Region List.
However, Zhuo Jun did not invite any of these masters. Most of the people invited this time were young warriors like Ye Chen, who were no more than 30 years old.
Some of them were not even as strong as Dewey and the others, but they also sat in the waterside pavilion.
"What is the purpose of inviting such a group of warriors to this gathering?" Just as Ye Chen was secretly guessing, a group of figures suddenly appeared outside the waterside pavilion.
To be more precise, another guest had arrived.
However, this guest was quite arrogant. She even brought a group of maids with her, so she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Ye Chen also raised his head and looked over, only to see that it was actually a woman who had come over.
Furthermore, this woman was extremely gentle and beautiful. She was only wearing clothes made of light muslin. Her round and smooth shoulders, flat stomach, and slender legs were all exposed. It was unknown how many men's gazes were attracted to her.
Her snow-white ankles were tied with two small and exquisite copper bells, which caused the girl's feet to jingle when she walked. It was extremely conspicuous.
"It's Princess Xue Lan of the Domain Chief's Mansion.. it's said that this little princess is extremely barbaric and lawless. I didn't expect her to come to this gathering today."
As soon as that woman appeared in front of him, Ye Chen immediately heard whispers.
This voice was extremely obscure. Even with Ye Chen's powerful perception, he could barely hear it.
Ye Chen stealthily scanned the surroundings, but discovered that the young elites were all sitting upright. It was impossible to tell who was talking in secret.
"Brother Ning, please be careful. This is the Domain Chief's Mansion. If you are heard by others, I'm afraid you will get into trouble." Before the first voice died away, another one sounded.
Ye Chen realized that there were two acquaintances in the waterside pavilion. They should not be far away from Ye Chen, so Ye Chen could eavesdrop on their private conversation.
The young talent surnamed Ning said confidently, "What are you afraid of? Although the Ning Family is not as powerful as the Domain Chief's Mansion, we will not be bullied by others. I'm just telling the truth. Do you think the Domain Chief's Mansion will blame me for this?"
"What Brother Ning said is right."
"Brother Ning, I've heard that Young Master Zhuo invited us here to select a son-in-law for Princess Xue Lan. I wonder if this rumor is true." Another voice murmured before asking curiously, "Brother Ning, I've heard that Young Master Zhuo invited us here to select a son-in-law for Princess Xue Lan.
"You're quite well-informed. The news that I received was the same. Initially, I still had some doubts. However, after seeing the people who came today, I immediately confirmed the news. Look at the guests that Zhuo Jun invited today. They're either the successors of the big clans or the young elites on the Eastern Region Windcloud Ranking. This Princess Xue Lan obviously wants to use this opportunity to find someone she likes."
"Alas, this is the sorrow of the successors of our big families. As warriors, how can we be so greedy for love? But for the sake of our families, we have to force ourselves. The two of us seem to be well-off, but in fact, I'm afraid that we are not as good as Young Master Ye Chen sitting next to us. He is alone and much more handsome than us. But then again, if a Rogue Cultivator like him can become the husband of Princess Xue Lan, it will be a wonderful thing to have a connection with the Domain Chief's Mansion."
"Brother Ding, don't talk nonsense. I don't think Ye Chen is an evil person. If he really marries Princess Xue Lan, it will be the misfortune of eight lifetimes."
"Brother Ning, what do you mean? You have seen that Princess Xue Lan is so delicate and beautiful. Although she is not on the Eastern Region's Fengyun List, she is still a well-known genius. Even I am a little tempted by her."
"That's because you don't know the details of Princess Xue Lan. I heard that Princess Xue Lan has more than 10 male pets. The Domain Chief's Mansion originally arranged for her to marry Phantasmagoria, the young patriarch of the Yan Family, who just came. Later, Phantasmagoria suffered from Qi Deviation. Not only was he unrecognizable, but his personality also changed greatly. Therefore, Princess Xue Lan made a scene and forced the big shots in the Domain Chief's Mansion to change the marriage contract. She chose another girl from the collateral branch of the Domain Chief's Mansion to marry Phantasmagoria. Speaking of which, this girl is really unlucky."
…
Ye Chen was listening to these voices casually as if nothing had happened.
The two young talents were talking without restraint. It seemed that they did not expect Ye Chen to be able to intercept their voice transmission.
However, Ye Chen could not help but change his expression when he heard this. He stood up abruptly.
At this point, he could guess that the unlucky girl from the collateral branch that the two young talents were talking about was undoubtedly Zhuo Qingyun.
The current Domain Chief of the Eastern Region seemed to be surnamed Zhuo.
Zhuo Jun and Zhuo Qingyun were obviously the direct descendants of the Domain Chief's Mansion.
Ye Chen's abnormal behavior was noticed by many people around, especially Princess Xue Lan, who had just arrived.
Zhuo Jun was about to lead Princess Xue Lan to a waterside pavilion when she saw Ye Chen stand up abruptly. A strange look flashed across Princess Xue Lan's beautiful eyes. She covered her red lips with her snow-white hand and laughed softly. "This must be the young expert Ye Chen who has been in the limelight in the region city recently. It seems that Ye Gongzi and I are fated to meet."
As she spoke, Princess Xue Lan walked directly to the waterside pavilion where Ye Chen was. She smiled at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Gongzi, may I have the honor of sitting with you? Let me experience the elegance of the most outstanding young talent in the Eastern Region up close."
