Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 634 - 635: The Banquet

"Speak!" Murong Yunlong said.

"According to the data, Celestial Universe International not only monopolized the Murong Group's financial chain but also acquired many companies that were friendly with Murong Group. These companies have almost all fallen under Celestial Universe's umbrella, and it seems the situation is unfavorable for Murong Group!" The manager spoke.

"Understood!" Murong Yunlong shouted, puzzled as to why Celestial Universe International would target him like this. He asked, "Have we found out anything about Celestial Universe's participation in the financial conference?"

"Not at the moment!" The young man responded: "In past years, Celestial Universe International has never participated in the financial conference; this year should be no exception. Moreover, the conference is being held tomorrow, so even if Celestial Universe wanted to participate, they likely wouldn't have time to prepare."

"That's good!" Murong Yunlong exhaled deeply.

As long as Celestial Universe does not join the financial conference, the losses for him would not be too severe. Although Celestial Universe is deliberately targeting Murong Group this time, it is not enough to bankrupt them—at most, they'll lose a few billion.

Moreover, Murong Group has contacted various major companies in Fengzhou City, aiming to secure victory in the financial conference.

...

Six o'clock in the evening, Emperor Hotel.

Emperor Hotel is regarded as a fairly upscale five-star hotel in Fengzhou City. It is sizable and quite famous; aside from Celestial Universe International Hotel, few others in Fengzhou compare to it.

Tonight, Emperor Hotel is destined to be bustling, for there is no other reason than the grand banquet being held here, which has gathered quite a few well-known wealthy scions from Fengzhou City.

Moreover, the host of this banquet is none other than QianShan Xue, one of the three goddesses of Fengzhou City. How could these wealthy young men not come? What's more, as QianShan Xue mentioned, Gu Yunxi will also be arriving.

Could it be that tonight is the night to win the beauty? After all, everyone knows that Gu Yunxi and Murong Bai are bitter rivals; Gu Corporation collapsed because of the Murong Family, offering them a huge opportunity.

Even though they know Gu Yunxi has a boyfriend, rumor has it that he's just a penniless man. How could he compare to these young heirs?

The reason QianShan Xue didn't invite academy disciples to this banquet is the fear of revealing Xiao Tianyu's identity. Hence, she hesitated, worried that Gu Yunxi would discover that Xiao Tianyu is the executive chairman of Emperor Star Academy.

Moreover, during the Demon Suppression Hall incident, who among the people from Emperor Star Academy doesn't know Xiao Tianyu's real identity?

At this moment, inside a luxurious compartment at Emperor Hotel.

Inside, there's a man and a woman, both in their twenties, bearing a striking resemblance to each other—you can tell at a glance that they're siblings. Notably, the woman exudes an aloof demeanor, carrying an icy chill that makes her unapproachable.

These two are none other than QianShan Xue and Qianshan Yun, the siblings.

As for Qianshan Yun, he flew to Fengzhou City early this morning, precisely because of QianShan Xue's invitation.

"Brother, whether I can be with Xiao Tianyu this time depends on you!" QianShan Xue said to Qianshan Yun. As long as he deals with Gu Yunxi, QianShan Xue is confident her beauty will conquer Xiao Tianyu.

"As long as Gu Yunxi comes today, leave it to me!" Qianshan Yun flashed a wicked smile, thinking of how pleasurable it would be to have Gu Yunxi, one of the three goddesses of Fengzhou City, beneath him.

Then Qianshan Yun continued, "Who exactly is this Xiao Tianyu that makes you so determined? As far as I know, back in the Imperial Capital, Father introduced several matches from illustrious families to you. Does Xiao Tianyu's background surpass those noble families?"

"That's not for you to worry about; just focus on getting Gu Yunxi!" QianShan Xue replied. Once she eliminated Gu Yunxi as an obstacle, she was confident Xiao Tianyu wouldn't escape her grasp.

"Alright!" Qianshan Yun nodded, asking no further questions since his goal was Gu Yunxi.

...

Outside Emperor Hotel, mass-produced sports cars entered the open-space parking lot. Several handsome young men, dressed in sleek suits, emerged from their cars, some with girlfriends on their arms, gradually making their way toward the hotel, blending into the crowd.

At this moment, a young man walked out of the hotel, scanning the crowd with his eyes, frowning slightly. Hasn't Gu Yunxi arrived yet?

This young man was none other than Qianshan Yun.

Da da da~

Soon, the sound of high heels clicked, immediately drawing the attention of all the men. Yet these men only showed appreciation with their eyes towards the approaching woman, without any disrespectful intent.

QianShan Xue?

Indeed, it's QianShan Xue.

Tonight, QianShan Xue is truly dazzling; becoming her partner would be worth sacrificing ten years of life.

Tonight, she wore a purple evening gown, eye-catching and elegant. Aside from her aura that kept people at a distance, the purple gown added an extra touch of femininity.

"Miss QianShan, hello!"

"Tonight, Miss QianShan is truly unmatched in beauty!"

"..."

Voices of praise and flattery rang out as QianShan Xue swept her beautiful eyes across the crowd, smiling lightly, "Thank you all for honoring me by attending the banquet!"

"Miss QianShan, don't mention it!" Several young men responded with smiles.

QianShan Xue continued, "Let me introduce you to my brother, Qianshan Yun, who flew in from the Imperial Capital this morning to attend my banquet. Moreover, my brother is a disciple of the Emperor Star Headquarters!"

"What, a disciple of the headquarters?" Many young men showed a hint of humility, as if, upon hearing Qianshan Yun's identity from QianShan Xue, they could only look up to him. Emperor Star Academy's headquarters is not an ordinary place; it's where all supreme talents of the Ancient Martial Realm are gathered.

Buzz~

At this moment, the sound of a sports car reached their ears, drawing everyone's attention to a white coupe parked in the open-space parking lot.

The car door opened, and a goddess wearing an evening gown, holding an LV bag, stepped out wearing high heels. Her appearance instantly became the focus, a woman who could rival QianShan Xue.

Her presence made all the surrounding women pale in comparison, except for QianShan Xue.

"It's Gu Yunxi, Gu Yunxi has indeed arrived!"

"She's so beautiful; is this Gu Yunxi? I heard Gu Corporation just collapsed yesterday, yet she still came to the banquet!"

"Regardless, she's the most eye-catching goddess here!"

"If only I could be Gu Yunxi's boyfriend!"

"..."

Gu Yunxi's appearance certainly stirred the crowd, especially Qianshan Yun beside QianShan Xue, whose eyes shone with a wicked light—was this woman going to be my plaything beneath me tonight?

Thinking of this, Qianshan Yun couldn't help but feel excited. The first time he met Gu Yunxi, she dismissed him with disdain and arrogance. This time, let's see how arrogant she can be.
