After exiting the hall, Ding Meng took the same route back to the hotel.
The second floor of the hotel was still lively, but it was different from before. Guan Xinqing, the star of the show, was nowhere to be seen. Everyone else was still talking to each other.
Angel quickly ran over. "You old man, you're done so quickly?"
She had always been straightforward, and her voice was loud. Many of the guests turned to look at her.
Ding Meng was speechless. What did she mean by 'done already'?
She could have just kept quiet if she didn't know how to talk. Of course, he couldn't say that out loud. "Mr. Ting asked me to pass on some information."
"Oh …" Angel seemed to be uninterested.
"By the way, where's the boss?
Why didn't I see him? "Ding Meng asked.
Angel was also a little puzzled. "Uncle just said that a very important guest will be arriving soon. He went to the tarmac to pick him up."
Her words were simple, but Ding Meng could tell what she was trying to say. If Guan Xinqing abandoned all the guests and went to the tarmac to pick him up, this person must be someone important.
Someone from the upper echelons of the Empire?
A military boss?
The boss of a corporation?
Or the leader of a faction?
At this moment, Lan Bing also walked over. "Did everything go well?"
Ding Meng nodded and said, "It went well. I've returned the item."
There was no way he could hide this matter about Guan Lin from the people around him, but Lan Bing didn't blame him. Perhaps among all of Ding Meng's women, Lan Bing was the one who understood this matter the best. Under such complicated circumstances, Guan Lin giving herself to Ding Meng was actually the best choice. Of course, it was a pity that she couldn't escape her fate in the end.
Now that the ashes had been sent back to Xingwu City, it could be said that Miss Guan's last wish had been fulfilled. However, Ding Meng still had a deep impression of Long Lin.
After chatting for a while, Guan Xinqing finally appeared. He didn't appear from the door on the second floor, but from the staircase on the third floor. In other words, the guests that he personally received had parachuted to the rooftop and bypassed the first floor to enter here.
Sure enough, a tall woman in a formal dress appeared on the exquisite staircase made of white jade wood.
This was an unconventional dress. It was an ancient Victorian-style coat with black and white stripes, a black belt, a standing collar, a high waist, princess sleeves, and long white gloves. This kind of palace style was not something that ordinary people could wear.
Back then, Lan Bing's cheongsam style was unique. But now, Lan Bing had to admit that only this woman in front of her could bring out the style of a British aristocrat. She knew that she was far inferior to this woman.
The woman wore a wide purple felt hat slanted sideways. Only half of her face was exposed. Just this half of her face was enough to silence the entire reception hall. Even the well-trained attendants were stunned.
This half of the face could no longer be described as beautiful. It was a painting in a picture, a person in a dream, a work of art, a divine charm … Regardless of whether one was a man or a woman, as long as one could see this half of the face clearly, they would be deeply attracted, unable to shift their gaze away. Even Ding Meng, whose mental fortitude was as strong as a divine needle, was momentarily dazed at this moment.
As for the other people in the reception hall, they were already dazzled and dumbfounded.
Guan Xinqing lowered his head and held the woman's white gloves. He accompanied her down the staircase in a very gentlemanly manner. Previously, Guan Xinqing was like a big shot among all the celebrities and dignitaries. However, in front of this beautiful woman, he was like a servant.
The beauty didn't have an aloof and cold demeanor. On the contrary, she always had a friendly smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light. That was a kind of absolute confidence, because only a confident woman was the most beautiful woman.
The woman's every frown and smile, every step she took, every move she made was filled with generosity, confidence, elegance, nobility, and charm. This was a true aristocrat. That kind of noble temperament was emitted from her bones. This was a true goddess. That kind of beauty was like the vast starry sky, ever-changing yet integrated into one.
Even Lan Bing, who had always had a strong mental fortitude, was mesmerized. Ding Meng could not help but secretly use his telepathic thoughts. "Who is she?"
Lan Bing was shocked. "You don't even know Ji Chenxue?"
"Ji Chenxue?"
Ding Meng searched hard for information in his telepathic thoughts database. He finally found it. This Ji Chenxue was recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Norse Empire. She could be said to be the nation's goddess.
The three largest financial groups in the Empire were Apocalypse, Chuang Yu, and Beidou. Ji Chenxue was the highest leader of the Beidou Group. Unlike the previous two groups, Apocalypse Group was larger and Chuang Yu was wealthier than the previous two groups. Although the Beidou Group was not as wealthy as the previous two groups, the Beidou Group was supported by three martial arts sects. These three groups were the most powerful groups in the Norse Empire.
Ji Chenxue was a legendary figure in the Empire. Not only was she talented in martial arts, but she was also talented in business. She took over the Beidou Group at the age of thirty and used only ten years to turn Beidou from a third-rate company into a first-rate financial group.
Beidou's business was very simple — creating stars for entertainment. They were very good at selecting newcomers from the entertainment industry and the Star Wars International League. Their foresight could only be described with one word — they were very accurate. Any newcomer chosen by the Beidou Group would become a superstar in less than five years as long as they signed a contract. Among them, they created the most new martial arts stars and singers in the entertainment industry. They were famous in half of the Empire and had great influence in the Federation.
Ji Chenxue's peerless elegance was the best in the country. Everyone, regardless of age or gender, admired this national goddess. To a certain extent, her rallying power was even greater than that of Wen Yang, the head of state of the Empire's higher-ups.
Of course, such an important guest was worthy of Guan Xinqing's personal greeting.
Ding Meng suddenly grabbed Lan Bing's hand. "Don't use your telekinesis vision!"
"Why?"
Lan Bing turned around in shock. She was almost ready to scan this goddess. There was a world of difference between the images on TV and in real life.
Ding Meng was expressionless. "She also has applied telekinesis and her level is not low. You will be exposed if you use your telekinesis vision."
Lan Bing was secretly shocked. She had only heard of Ji Chenxue's beauty, but she had never heard of her being a telekinesis warlock.
However, Lan Bing did not doubt her husband's judgment. Ding Meng's foresight was also top-notch. If he said that the other party was a warlock, then there was no way he was wrong.
At this time, Guan Xinqing had already helped Ji Chenxue to stand at the bottom of the escalator. He smiled apologetically. "Everyone, I am very sorry for leaving you all to greet an important guest. But now, no one will blame me for being rude, right?"
Who would blame him at this moment?
They would be wild with joy!
If you knew that you were going to greet Goddess Ji, you would have told us in advance so that we could be mentally prepared. At least go to the bathroom and redo your hair. What if the goddess took a fancy to you?
Wouldn't that be a good story for eternity?
In fact, all the men present had this kind of wishful thinking. They were always fantasizing about the beautiful woman's love and wealth. The probability of this happening was not zero, but it was extremely low. This was because ever since Ji Chenxue's debut, there had never been a single scandal. Wen Yang's previous Celestial Monarch was once a powerful figure in the Nuoxing Empire. He was elegant in his command and was famous for his fighting prowess. He had publicly pursued Ji Chenxue, but was directly rejected.
If even the Sovereign Star Lord was in such a predicament, the rest of the people should not even dream about it. They could only look at her and not even fantasize about her. This was because Ji Chenxue was the kind of person who was so noble that no one was willing to think in the direction of blasphemy.
Guan Xinqing turned to Ji Chenxue and said with a smile, "Ji Zong, since you've come to my humble abode, why don't you say a few words to everyone?"
His words were very well-spoken, showing that his relationship with Ji Chenxue was not distant. At the same time, he did not let go of the other party's hand. This detail was caught by Xin Zhiyao in the distance.
On the surface, Xin Zhiyao's expression was a little unnatural, but Ding Meng could sense that Xin Zhiyao's heart was probably exploding with anger.
But so what?
Could she be compared to Ji Chenxue?
They might not even have the qualifications to be discussed together. At most, her identity as the third concubine of an official's family was barely enough to be mentioned.
It seemed that Guan Xinqing's ambition was not small. He did not dare to say that he had designs on Goddess Ji, but he definitely had other intentions.
Ding Meng was secretly amused. If he were to go up there, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand this kind of peerless charm, right?
He was still in a daze when he suddenly realized that Lan Bing was coldly glaring at him. "Are all men like you big pig trotters?"
Ding Meng could only droop his eyelids and remain silent.
At this time, Ji Chenxue slightly circulated his Origin Energy, and the temperature in the hall rose quite a bit. However, the guests did not feel hot at all. Instead, they felt as comfortable as a spring breeze.
Ji Chenxue looked around the hall. Everyone was eagerly waiting.
Ji Chenxue smiled slightly, paused for a moment, and then said, "Thank you, everyone!"
Just these four simple words made all the guests feel a beautiful and sincere aura wash over them. For a moment, the hall filled with applause, and it lasted for a long time.
Lan Bing also sighed in admiration. She had always been proud of her beauty and temperament, but she really could not compare to Ji Chenxue. A simple "thank you" from him could cause such a stir. These guests were all upper-class people. If it weren't for the fact that they had to maintain their rationality, many of them would probably have gone crazy on the spot.
However, Ding Meng's hearing and hearing were different from Lan Bing's. Ding Meng discovered that Ji Chenxue's voice was very pleasant to listen to. It was very mellow, very ethereal, and it felt like a clear spring flowing through one's heart. It was very easy to recognize, and it immediately filled one with a good impression of her. This was a familiar feeling.
Under the infatuated and worshipful gazes of everyone present, Guan Xinqing led Ji Chenxue all the way to the northern platform. Ji Chenxue's aura was really powerful. The few military bigwigs on the platform consciously moved aside, leaving only Guan Xinqing and Ji Chenxue on the platform, chatting happily with each other.
Because he could not use his telekinesis vision or the Origin in his body, Ding Meng's Origin Perception could not hear the contents of their conversation. This was a bit unpleasant. Fortunately, someone was waving at him and Lan Bing from afar.
