194: banquet!

Many of Jiangzhou's social elites were invited to this banquet.

The Lin family was naturally among them, so Lin Yue also attended.

As soon as Lin Yue entered, someone immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Lin Yue exchanged a few pleasantries with them before finding a place to sit down.

Li Feifei originally wasn't qualified to enter a banquet of this level, but things were naturally different when someone brought her along.

"Feifei, you're here!"

A woman of similar age was waiting for Li Feifei at the entrance.

Li Feifei greeted her with a smile; this was the person who had introduced her.

"Young Master Leng has been here for a while. Let me introduce you."

She took Li Feifei by the hand and strode inside.

By now, both Lin Yue and Leng Wuyou were already seated.

From a distance, Li Feifei spotted Lin Yue.

She deliberately avoided Lin Yue's gaze, terrified that he might see her.

"Feifei, look! That's Young Master Leng of the Leng Clan Group!"

Following the direction the woman pointed, Li Feifei saw Leng Wuyou sitting there.

Compared to Lin Yue, Leng Wuyou appeared more conventional.

However, his looks were still quite outstanding, making him stand out among the young crowd.

Coupled with his aura as the heir to the Leng Clan Group, in Li Feifei's eyes, he possessed a bit more class than Lin Yue.

"Go on, Feifei. I'm rooting for you!"

Li Feifei picked up a glass of wine and walked toward Leng Wuyou.

"Excuse us, everyone, we're late!"

"This is my good friend, Li Feifei!"

Initially, Leng Wuyou didn't care, but upon hearing the name Li Feifei, he instantly perked up.

Leng Wuyou scrutinized Li Feifei closely, then gave an intrigued smile.

Li Feifei's face before him was like a lotus in midsummer—flawless, white, and strikingly beautiful.

Her features were as delicate as a painting, her eyes spirited and bright as if they could see through one's heart.

Her jet-black, shiny hair fell naturally over her shoulders, as smooth and soft as black silk.

Compared to before, Li Feifei's appearance was even more exceptional.

Several wealthy young men beside Leng Wuyou were captivated by Li Feifei's beauty, unable to look away for a long time.

Seeing Leng Wuyou's reaction, Li Feifei assumed he was captivated by her beauty.

Her face flushed, and she felt even more triumphant.

Li Feifei finished toasting the others around them before finally approaching Leng Wuyou.

"Brother Wuyou, let me toast you!"

After a round of drinks, Li Feifei's face had a slight rosy glow.

Under the lights and the influence of alcohol, her every frown and smile appeared exceptionally gorgeous.

Her words exploded in the ears of those around her, every syllable carrying a wicked, charming temptation.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Feifei shyly used her wine glass to partially hide her face.

However, her eyes were firmly locked onto Leng Wuyou, as if watching prey.

Leng Wuyou took a glass of wine from the side and clinked it with Li Feifei's.

"Cheers!"

The others nearby also noticed Leng Wuyou's unusual behavior and kept their eyes fixed on Li Feifei.

"Young Master Leng, this banquet today was definitely worth coming to!"

"Young Master Leng, since you have such a beauty for company, we'll take our leave!"

...The several people beside him tactfully left, including the woman who had brought Li Feifei to the banquet.

Leng Wuyou simply nodded with a smile, not saying a single word the entire time.

Li Feifei—that was the person the White Emperor wanted him to watch.

Leng Wuyou naturally wouldn't let her go; perhaps the White Emperor had known all along that he would meet Li Feifei.

Just like when he first met the White Emperor, and the White Emperor had warned him.

Otherwise, why would the White Emperor have specifically pointed her out?

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom. Wait for me!"

After Leng Wuyou spoke, he walked toward the washrooms.

As he passed his subordinates, Leng Wuyou whispered:

"Keep a close eye on that Li Feifei. Report everything she does to me!"

The subordinate nodded slightly.

"Yes, sir!"

...Meanwhile, Lin Yue was drinking alone at the banquet.

He hadn't wanted to come; he'd rather spend this time grinding for more health in the game.

After all, that was where his focus should be right now.

Lin Xiaozhong had insisted on dragging Lin Yue along, saying he needed to get some fresh air.

However, he hadn't expected Leng Wuyou to be at this banquet as well.

This was unexpected; this event hadn't happened in his previous life.

It seemed his actions had changed everything.

He had noticed Li Feifei long ago, but since Leng Wuyou was here, he wouldn't show his face.

Old Bai had also been brought to the banquet by him and was currently chatting with people.

"Old Bai, come here for a second!"

Hearing Lin Yue's call, Old Bai walked straight over.

"What is it?"

Lin Yue gestured for Old Bai to look toward Li Feifei, and Old Bai saw her too.

"Brother Yue, what do you want me to do?"

Old Bai immediately spotted Li Feifei standing there alone, looking particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

"That's Li Feifei. At the last banquet at my house, she was the one who brought Overlord Invincible and barged in."

Old Bai had investigated the Li family, so he was naturally aware of these things.

"Go see what she's here for in a bit. Also, Leng Wuyou is here, so keep an eye out!"

Following Lin Yue's instructions, Old Bai walked toward Li Feifei.

He didn't go to her directly but instead found people who were watching her and made some indirect inquiries.

"Brother Yue, Li Feifei was brought in by someone else."

"I heard she was getting quite close to Leng Wuyou just now."

After hearing this, Lin Yue looked at Li Feifei with interest.

He had only just finished talking to Leng Wuyou not long ago, and he hadn't expected Li Feifei to deliver herself right to his doorstep.

"Old Bai, then let's just wait and watch the show!"

Old Bai nodded and sat down beside Lin Yue.

"Did you run into Li Feifei?"

While in the washroom, Leng Wuyou suddenly received a message from the White Emperor, giving him a start.

He looked around, but there was no one.

Could the White Emperor be at the banquet too?

One had to know that almost everyone at this banquet was a socialite from Jiangzhou.

If the White Emperor really was in Jiangzhou, it wouldn't be strange for him to appear here.

There was another possibility that made Leng Wuyou find the White Emperor even more terrifying.

The White Emperor had informants at this banquet.

But it could also be like before, where the White Emperor had predicted the event long ago.

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!

"Yes."

Leng Wuyou tidied his appearance and walked out of the washroom.

"She has a special relationship with Overlord Invincible. Be careful!"

These words kept echoing in Leng Wuyou's mind, making him instantly alert.

Last time, the White Emperor told him to be careful of wine offered by women; this time, he told him to be careful of Li Feifei.

Could Li Feifei be here to harm him?

Fortunately, he had the White Emperor's warning; otherwise, he might have fallen for her trap.

The more Leng Wuyou thought about it, the more suspicious he became as he walked toward Li Feifei.

"Brother Wuyou, you're back!"

Li Feifei's voice was incredibly seductive, but in Leng Wuyou's ears, it had taken on a different quality.

It was as if Yama, the King of Hell, was beckoning to him to take his life!
