Chapter 485: Chapter 484: Extremely Proficient in Sweet Talk

The person looks pretty decent, just that their gaze might be a bit off.

Dressed to the nines, yet their eyes were roving around the venue, primarily landing on chests and thighs.

Such behavior is not only off-putting but also makes one feel particularly disgusted.

However, this kind of thing…

Lu Zixun curled his lips slightly when this person looked over, and those women seemed eager to pull their necklines down even further.

At this moment, Lu Zixun’s eyes were full of doubt.

Why on earth would Yang Runwu let Yang Youyou get engaged to such a person? Isn’t Youyou the little witch of Zone 1, how could she agree to this?

Could it be mutual affection?

Lu Zixun’s mouth twitched a little; that possibility did exist.

After activating the Heavenly Eye, Lu Zixun also knew that this playboy was named Zhang Xiaozong, with only the strength of a B-level Spiritual Ability User.

“Do you know Zhang Xiaozong?”

Dragging a plate full of Wenling fish sashimi, Lu Zixun would occasionally pop a slice into his mouth and turned to ask Xiong Kang while looking at him.

When Lu Zixun brought up Zhang Xiaozong, Xiong Kang paused in his actions, looking at Lu Zixun in confusion: “Zhang Mingyuan’s son, and war comrade with Martial God.”

So he’s also an old family friend. Could it be that he and Youyou were childhood sweethearts?

“He grew up playing with Youyou, but due to family reasons, I don’t know how Zhang Xiaozong turned into a scumbag.”

Shaking his head, Xiong Kang asked, “Why suddenly ask about Zhang Xiaozong? Do you have a grudge against him?”

Lu Zixun: “???”

So in Xiong Kang’s eyes, I’m a troublemaker, huh.

Asking about someone means having a grudge against them, is my reputation really that bad in Xiong Kang’s heart!

Giving a great big eye roll to Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun couldn’t be bothered to talk to him.

“Plop.”

Suddenly, the lights at the venue went out, leaving only the spotlight on the stage.

At this moment, Yang Runwu’s figure appeared on stage, his square face marked with scars.

The scars did not disfigure Yang Runwu but instead added a stern and captivating charm.

Seemingly having not smiled in a long time, Yang Runwu forced a smile and said, “Welcome and thank you all for coming from far and wide to attend my daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony. Please enjoy the food, have fun, and be merry. The banquet officially begins now.”

These words must have been spoon-fed to Yang Runwu by someone else, as he said them haltingly and with great difficulty.

But why not announce the engagement?

Lu Zixun scanned the venue; it looked as though Youyou was nowhere to be seen, probably waiting for her to appear.

“Shlick.”

Swallowing the last Wenling fish, Lu Zixun licked his forepaw.

This trip to the banquet was quite worth it after all, since the fish was delicious.

“Ding—Detecting an observation value of +26000 from Wang Xin.”

“Ding—Detecting a fear value of +20000 from Wang Yicheng.”

These two siblings came over, and half of the exchangeable feeling value for a Puncture was already acquired.

Lu Zixun lifted his paw, and with Magnetic Field Control, two plates of Wenling fish floated beside him.

“Lord Xun, hello.”

Wang Xin, smiling, nodded slightly as she greeted Lu Zixun.

“Howdy-howdy.”

Lu Zixun, with fish in his mouth, didn’t speak very clearly.

Feeling that Lu Zixun was being rude, Lin Siyin raised her hand to slap his head lightly and gave him a coquettish look.

Quickly swallowing the fish in his mouth, Lu Zixun looked at Wang Xin seriously: “Hello, I’m Lu Zixun.”

“Lord Xun, may I ask who this is…”

Glancing at Lin Siyin beside him, Wang Xin asked tentatively.

“Current girlfriend, future wife.”

Lu Zixun smiled and picked up a Wenling Fish, offering it to Lin Siyin’s mouth.

Wang Xin, who inadvertently ate some “dog food,” twitched the corner of her mouth. When this cat spoke sweet nothings, they just flowed out so naturally.

However, Wang Xin wasn’t here to learn Lu Zixun’s sweet-talking skills,

Since Lin Siyin was Lu Zixun’s family member, the following matters could now proceed smoothly.

“Lord Xun, may we talk over there?”

As soon as Wang Xin finished speaking, she pointed to the booths surrounding the club.

The people who had come especially for Yang Youyou’s birthday celebration were not here for this single purpose.

Among those who could attend this birthday banquet, how many had simple backgrounds?

Celebrating the birthday was a secondary objective; the major goal was to form good relations with others.

Just like in human society, it wasn’t any different, they were just more direct.

“Lord Xun, how much do you know about the struggle for power?”

Once in the booth and having activated the Spirit Barrier for sound isolation, Wang Xin got straight to the point.

“I know a thing or two.”

Smiling, Lu Zixun’s gaze fell on Wang Yicheng: “Wang Yicheng has already reached J-level, so he shouldn’t need to participate in any struggle for power, right?”

“It’s not about my younger brother, but my sister.”

When speaking of his sister, a rare softness flickered in Wang Xin’s eyes.

“Wang Qing?”

Xiong Kang raised his head, making this statement.

And Lin Siyin frowned slightly.

She seemed to have some impression of this person, the bottom ranker of Crimson Academy.

Seeing that Lu Zixun remained silent and continued eating fish after hearing her, Wang Xin let out a wry smile.

With such ability to maintain composure, no wonder the Demon Country had developed so rapidly.

Out of options, Wang Xin continued: “On behalf of the Wang Family, I would like to request a favor from Lord Xun.”

Hearing this, Lu Zixun lifted his head, looked at Wang Xin with an almost amused expression, shook his head, and said, “I refuse. Babysitting is something many could do better than me, I believe.”

Frowning slightly, Wang Xin sighed: “Yet, with J-level strength to freely enter and leave the battlefield of the struggle for power, only Lord Xun could manage that.”

“Hmm?”

At these words, Lu Zixun paused.

How could he freely enter and leave the battlefield?

He had no idea about such a thing himself; how could the Wang Family know?

But even if Wang Xin argued her case to the point of exhaustion, offering a relic from the Demon Clan as payment, Lu Zixun still was unwilling.

In the end, Wang Xin was utterly speechless, realizing Lu Zixun truly was the kind of person impermeable to persuasion.

“Wang Linfan is our uncle.”

Wang Yicheng, who had been quiet all along, suddenly blurted this out.

Although the suspicion had already formed in his mind, hearing Wang Yicheng confirm it directly still made Lu Zixun pause and cast an inquiring look at Xiong Kang.

Xiong Kang spread his hands resignedly and nodded, indicating Wang Yicheng wasn’t lying.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Zixun spoke indifferently: “Send the Demon Clan relic over tomorrow, and let Wang Qing join Siyin’s team.”

“Si Yin? Lin Siyin, the top-ranked student from the Crimson Academy?”

Shocked for a moment, Wang Xin’s face lit up with joy when she realized.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zixun actually knew Lin Siyin, which was indeed a pleasant surprise.

With Lin Siyin’s protection and Lu Zixun’s support, they needn’t worry about Wang Qing’s safety anymore.

“Alright, let me make the formal introduction.”

Nodding, Lu Zixun looked at Lin Siyin beside him: “My girlfriend, Lin Siyin, the top-ranked student from the Crimson Academy.”
