Ye Luo was wearing a white robe that was whiter than snow. He had a warm smile on his face. He was an elegant young master.
It had been some time since they last saw each other. His temperament was better than before. Many young ladies in the hall were mesmerized by him. It was hard to tell if they were really mesmerized or just pretending.
Next to Ye Luo stood a stunning lady. She was not as beautiful as Lu Ling, but she had an air of nobility about her.
However, the noble aura he exuded was extraordinary, giving off the feeling of a phoenix in the sky. He was like a star in the night sky, very dazzling and attractive.
She was Ye Luo's younger sister, Ye Yu, the most important young lady of the Ye Family. Lu Li thought Ye Yu was a nice girl.
That kind of touching and affectionate look was able to stir up a man's tender heart.
Everyone stood up to welcome the arrival of the future Family Patriarch and the most important young lady of the Ye Family. Lu Li didn't dare to be too unconventional. He followed Gu Min to Ye Luo.
Ye Rong was a bit gloomy. Ye Luo would always be in the center of the hall where all the lights would be attracted to him.
Ye Rong reacted quickly. He walked over with a big smile, nodded to Ye Luo and said, "Future Family Patriarch, Sister Yu, you are finally here.
Come, let me introduce you to the talents and beauties of the families. This is Gongsun Yu, the future master of the Fengyang Palace. This is … "
There were one or two hundred guests in the hall. Naturally, Ye Rong could not introduce them one by one.
Ye Rong only introduced some disciples of the seventh and sixth rank families that were more important. He didn't mention some disciples of the sixth rank families at all. As for Gu Min, Ye Rong ignored him.
Lu Li would not miss such a rare opportunity. He waited for a chance and suddenly said in a muffled voice, "Young Master Ye Luo, we have met before. Do you remember?"
A group of people looked over, including Ye Luo, Ye Yu, and Ye Rong.
Many people were surprised, and some even had a mocking smile on their faces.
The Gu Family was only a fifth rank family. Even if they had the chance to meet Ye Luo and talk to him, they shouldn't have said it in public.
So many disciples of the sixth rank families didn't have the chance to talk to Ye Luo. Lu Li would be breaking the rules by interrupting.
Ye Luo found Lu Li unfamiliar. He didn't mind since he was only at the peak of the Eternal Realm. But out of politeness, he pointed to Lu Li and asked Ye Rong, "This is?"
How could Ye Rong know who Lu Li was?
He glanced at Gu Min, who hurriedly said with a flattering expression, "I'm Gu Min from the Gu family of the Ancient God Domain. This is my cousin, Gu Fengliu."
"Gu Fengliu?"
Lu Li was startled. What was Gu Min up to?
Wasn't his fake name Gu Li?
How did it become Gu Fengliu again?
It didn't matter what the fake name was. Lu Li just wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Ye Luo.
When he saw Ye Luo frown, it was obvious that he had no recollection of this name. He quickly grinned and said, "More than a year ago, Young Master Ye and Miss Yu passed by a small town. I even had a drink with the two of you."
"Huh?"
Ye Luo's pupils constricted as his mind raced. How could he possibly know Miss Yu?
Lu Hongyu was the only one with the word "fish" in her name.
Very few people knew about his relationship with Lu Hongyu. He did not have the chance to meet Lu Hongyu after the small battlefield, so the outside world did not know about Lu Hongyu.
How smart was Ye Luo?
Would an ordinary person mention Lu Hongyu in public?
Ye Luo made eye contact with Lu Li. A glint of cunning flashed in Lu Li's eyes. Ye Luo understood immediately.
He reacted quickly. He put on a gentle smile, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Fengliu, I was wondering why the name Gu Fengliu sounded so familiar.
I am ashamed. I will have to drink with you later. "
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
Many people looked at Lu Li who grinned in an honest manner. He was satisfied with Ye Luo's way of handling the situation.
Ye Luo was smart. He didn't show too much enthusiasm so that he wouldn't attract too much attention. He also indicated secretly that he had recognized Lu Li.
Soon, Ye Luo turned to the others. They didn't find it strange. They were just envious of Lu Li's luck.
Lu Li could establish a connection with Ye Luo when they didn't even have the chance to talk to him.
After an hour of small talk, they all took their seats. Gu Min led Lu Li back to the corner.
Lu Li looked at Gu Min with confusion. He didn't understand why Gu Min helped him change his name.
Gu Min and Lu Li sat behind a golden table. Gu Min wrote four words on the table with wine quietly — real person, missing.
Lu Li finally understood. There must be a person called Gu Fengliu in the Gu Family but he had gone missing.
It would be more convenient for Lu Li to act as this young master. Otherwise, he would be noticed if he met Ye Luo as an escort.
Lu Li drank in a low-key manner. Ye Luo seemed to have forgotten about Lu Li. He drank with others and didn't ask Lu Li for a drink.
This was a smart move. After all, a young master of a fifth rank family wouldn't deserve a toast from Ye Luo even if he had met Ye Luo before.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle ~"
Right at that moment, there came more footsteps. The first one was hurried. A steward walked in and reported, "Future Family Patriarch, Lady Mengtian and Lady Feiyu are here."
"What ~"
Everyone was excited. Who else but Ji Mengtian could make a steward of the Ye Family so nervous?
Feiyu was none other than Die Feiyu.
"Ji Mengtian?"
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes. He lowered his head, afraid to look outside for fear that the killing intent in his eyes would be seen by others.
Ye Luo forced a smile. He stood up with Ye Yu and Ye Rong to greet them.
Two fragrant breezes came from outside, and then two beauties that could cause the downfall of nations and cities walked in leisurely.
The moment they came in, the entire hall seemed to be lit up.
Many people stared at a lady in a yellow dress walking in front of them. Even they were short of breath.
Lu Li took a look. Out of instinct, his eyes glowed. Ji Mengtian was still so dazzling and beautiful.
Her yellow dress accentuated her perfect figure. Her hair was tied up in a flying fish bun, which gave her a noble and elegant look.
She wore a yellow gem tassel on her forehead, which made her look charming and affectionate. Her eyes were full of charm. People could not help but immerse themselves in her and try to dig out the secrets in her heart.
She was a stunner. As soon as she showed up, she overshadowed Ye Yu and all the other young ladies.
If Ye Yu were the stars in the night sky, then she was the bright moon. Nobody could overshadow her brilliance.
More importantly — after staying in the Blood Realm for more than a year, Ji Mengtian had matured.
She had lost the childishness of a young girl. Every move she made could stir the hearts of all the men here.
"Human Sovereign Realm …"
Lu Li lowered his head to drink after a few glances. He felt bitter.
She really was a freak. Being exiled to the Blood Realm didn't dampen her spirit. Instead, by chance, she reached the Human Sovereign Realm.
