252: Chapter 252 Barrier Tremor
"Lord Ye, I imagine those people outside heard wind of your presence here and came to pay a visit. After all, you've been either with King Fenghai or busy with Alchemy in the manor these past few days, so we didn't dare disturb you. They must have felt today was their chance, so they rushed over."
Zhou Haoyi spoke up on behalf of the crowd outside.
"Very well, call them all in."
"It is true; I haven't met with everyone since I arrived at the Modu Barrier. It's rare for everyone to be so enthusiastic."
Ye Qing said, his words falling into the ears of the group of star of huaxia.
They sighed inwardly; this was something only Ye Qing could say.
Speaking from the status of someone in a superior position.
When would they ever have such a voice?
It would probably take decades.
The guard then walked outside.
Outside.
"Do you think Lord Ye might refuse to see us because there are so many of us?"
"Perhaps. Why don't you take your people back first? I'll see him this time, and you can wait for the next, how about that?" a nearby Family head immediately chimed in.
"Go away. There are so many people here, why don't you go back? You want to see him this time? You're overthinking it."
"You're really something."
While everyone was talking, the guard returned.
The crowd immediately gathered around.
"How did it go?"
"That's right, did Lord Ye say anything?"
"Hurry up and speak!"
… The group of Family heads said anxiously.
Guard: "…"
I've never seen a situation like this; give me a moment to catch my breath!
You are all Powerful Experts at the Marquis Realm and Town General level, shouting at me like this—do you want to scare me to death?!
"Lord Ye invites everyone in."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, filled with delight. They had originally thought that because there were so many of them standing outside, Ye Qing wouldn't see them today due to the crowd.
But they hadn't expected that Ye Qing would actually let them all go in first.
Good, good, good.
However, they were not people who didn't know their place. They went in themselves, while having the High-ranking Officials of their families who came with them wait outside.
After entering, they began to greet Ye Qing.
They acted as if they were meeting a superior.
In other families.
A Family head who had just returned had barely sat down when he heard the news and abruptly stood up.
"What did you say? They all went to the Ye Family to find Ye Qing? When did this happen?"
"It's been a while, but since you weren't here, we didn't send anyone. After all, besides you, our standing isn't quite enough."
"What are you waiting for? I'm back now, aren't I? You all follow me."
Gradually, the news spread further and further.
Everyone headed towards the Ye Family.
Today, the Ye Family became the most dazzling star in the entire Modu.
On the other side.
Jing Yao and Jing Yue were strolling around the Modu Barrier with the other sisters, their faces filled with excitement.
"Goodness, this Modu Barrier is far better than the Jinling Barrier, Sucheng Barrier, and Jiangcheng Barrier. Just the places to have fun are much more numerous, not to mention the shopping areas and other spots."
"That's right. This time, we bought so many clothes; let's go back and have our husband reimburse us. After all, these clothes will likely end up ruined in his hands anyway."
As Yin Luoqing said this, the others stared at her sharply. Goodness, you really know how to turn anything into a dirty joke, don't you?
However, though the words were crude, the logic held true.
They could already foresee the fate of these clothes.
But it didn't matter.
On this side, Jing Yao looked at the group of Family heads hurrying along in front and immediately fell into deep thought.
Beside her, Jing Yue saw her sister's expression and came over to chat.
"What's wrong, Older Sister?"
"Did you see these Family heads along the way?"
Jing Yao said. Jing Yue recalled, "There are indeed quite a lot of Family heads seen today, but there's nothing strange about that. Can these Family heads never leave their homes?"
"But today is rather strange. Look at them; they are all quite anxious, as if they have encountered some urgent matter."
"Is there something unusual with the Barrier?"
Jing Yao's words made everyone worry.
Beside them, Ling Xue watched and waved her hand, "After all, the alarm for the Modu Barrier hasn't sounded, so there shouldn't be any unusual circumstances. Furthermore, with our husband's current strength, even without us, he is very powerful."
"However, we could go over and ask around."
"Let's go eavesdrop."
A smile appeared on Ling Xue's face, as if a fire of gossip had ignited.
"Okay."
"Hehe, let's go investigate."
"Let's see what happened."
Subsequently, the group followed the Family heads.
The Family heads were rushing on their way, not paying attention to anything else, and were still giving instructions to the High-ranking Officials beside them.
Gradually, the group behind realized what was going on.
"Did you hear? They are going to the Ye Family to see our husband."
Li Ziqin said. Beside her, Zheng Yuxin had a puzzled expression, "It seems our husband has also come out of the villa to stroll around. But why did our husband go to the Ye Family? Have you ever heard of any connection between our husband and this Ye Family before?"
"That, we haven't."
"It is indeed quite strange, but as long as nothing is wrong with the Barrier, we can continue strolling."
Zhu Yin clapped her hands.
"That's true."
"We've been strolling for the whole morning; I'm a bit hungry."
"Let's go eat. We know a place that's really delicious, and from the top floor, you can enjoy the scenery of the Modu Barrier. Let's go check it out." Jing Yao said, then led the group towards a clubhouse.
A while later.
"Young Miss, I'm sorry, the two rooms on the top floor have both been reserved."
The manager listened to Jing Yao's request and quickly replied. He explained patiently, as the ones who had booked the entire top floor today were the Young Masters and Young Misses of Modu.
They were all Scions of a Prominent Family.
They were not to be trifled with.
However, the manager looked at Jing Yao and her group, sensing the aura of superiors coming from them, and knew that these individuals were also not to be trifled with.
He could only patiently persuade them.
He then mentioned the names of the people dining on the top floor.
"Look, why don't you few settle for one of the other private rooms?"
"Do they really need to use two large rooms for just a few people?" Jing Yao asked rhetorically. She was familiar with these guys, had a decent relationship with them, and knew they were extravagant and wasteful.
If it were just her and Jing Yue, it wouldn't matter, but she was with so many sisters.
Anyway, they were acquaintances, and it had been a long time; she could see them in a while.
"How about this, I'll go ask for you? Young Miss, could you please tell me your name?"
"Jing Yao."
Jing Yao didn't hide it and stated it immediately.
