16 Invitation 2

Our master is really a great person! She even thank a mere guard like me. Thought of the guard before leaving.

Chen Ming Yu open the letter.

"General Gu is inviting you to a celebratory party? They must have known already that you defeated Wang Yu."

"I don't care about this kind of stuff." Chen Ming Yu threw the paper and continue eating.

"General Gu is not really a good person. I much prefer General Xu. Oh yeah. There are two generals on this continent. General Gu is the people of the government and General Xu was an independent one. He helps base on his principles not on orders while General Gu was much more like the government's lackey. He follows orders from the government."

"Really?"

"Yeah. These two general really hated each other. General Xu is my father's friend. They treat each other as brothers that's why I really like him. With the government's people, they will know that you're the one who killed Wang Yu. And I'm sure, the Government wants you to be on their side. And the lackey had made his move to invite you."

"Heh." Chen Ming Yu snorted. "People like them really disgust me."

"We're not going?"

"For what?"

"Of course for food! It's free!"

"Fine. I will also see what kind of mask that General Gu would wear."

"I also want to see how high is his shamelessness." Lan Bao laughs like a villain. Chen Ming Yu looked at her like she was some kind of weird guy in the street so she stopped laughing immediately.

My friend...you have no humor at all.

An hour later, before the celebratory party...

"Ming Yu, what are you wearing?" Lan Bao saw Chen Ming Yu dressed in a simple and plain white-robed.

"What? Is there something wrong with this?"

"Yes, it is! You have to pamper yourself more. You have to be grand on your self." And even though you weren't wearing any powder you're still beautiful. Lan Bao keeps the last sentence to herself.

"Sorry, I don't do grand. Simple is my style." Chen Ming Yu walked out in the room to call for the Monster Trio. She gave Ji Xia a dozen of pills and explain what its uses to them.

Lan Bao eyes are turning bigger as she heard the words coming out from her friend's lips.

That's a bunch of expensive and rare pills and she's giving it to her people for free!

Lan Bao felt fainting.

"Tell them to cultivate diligently. I don't want any useless person as my people. Got it?"

"Yes, master."

Master, why are you so generous? The Monster Trio asked themselves and quickly leave to do their master's order.

"Lan Bao, let's go. Is the invitation already in your hands?"

"Yes. I have it. Let's go to the General's manor."

The General's Manor was packed with people. All are born aristocrats. They're just here to witness a genius that kills Wang Yu. A silver spirit fighter.

They heard the one who killed him is the new owner of one of the biggest Manor in the continent. A young woman. Noble families want to see what kind of genius Wang Yu provoked this time. And some noble families wanted to meet Chen Ming Yu for their own benefits and made use of their son to lure her in their side.

A red carriage stops in front of the manor and all of the people waited for the person to come down with anticipation.

A young girl wearing a blue-robed came down from the carriage, followed by a white jade-like hand holding the edge of the carriage doorway to support herself.

Lan Bao sneers at the people.

Ming Yu is the beautiful person I've ever met. These young nobles would definitely drool from the sight.

Chen Ming Yu get off the carriage. And all young nobles cannot wait to see her face. But disappointedly, half of her face was covered by a thin layer of silk.

Lan Bao's jaw dropped.

When did Ming Yu put that veil in her beautiful face?

Did she...did she wanted to hide her eye-patch?

Looking at her small delicate jaw, the young noble already thought that this young lady is beautiful and is just shy.

In truth, Chen Ming Yu doesn't want to show her face in front of this hypocrite people. Furthermore, she doesn't want to show her real face in the eye of her enemy. She comes prepared. In fact, she was satisfied.

Satisfied to put salt in the young nobles face that has now become sour when they saw the veil covering half of her face.

"Greetings, young miss. Thank you for accepting my invitation. This celebratory party was clearly prepared for you. I hope it is to your liking." General Gu appeared, displaying a fawning attitude.

"Oh? Is that so? Should I thank you for preparing this?" Chen Ming Yu's languid voice echo in the ears of every young master.

"No need. No need. It is my honor to prepared this banquet for you. You may come in."

Chen Ming Yu sneered at the General showing a fake goodwill.

"This lady.."

"Chen Yu."

"Miss Chen Yu. Please have a seat."

"Chen Yu, such a beautiful name." A man in green robes appeared in front of Chen Ming Yu. His handsome appearance caught the eye of every young woman but not the eyes of Chen Ming Yu and Lan Bao.

"And I never needed any compliment." Chen Ming Yu indirectly said and ignore the handsome man.

"Miss Chen. Don't you know me? I am a son of a governor, Xiao Che."

"I just got here three days ago so I definitely don't know you young master Che."

Tsk! This b*tch dares to humiliate me in front of everyone!

"Then, this young master will forgive you for not knowing me." Xiao Che turns his back to return on his seat.

"Shameless." Lan Bao muttered.

What if he's a son of a governor? He's just nothing in the eyes of Chen Ming Yu!

The banquet has started. It was lively and at the same time noisy. Nevertheless, Chen Ming Yu was not even the least bit happy.

A banquet with the nobles was never her cupped of tea. She preferred a banquet with a lot of true friends. Laughing and drinking wine, that's what she wanted.

Chen Ming Yu propped her hand under her chin. Her mind wanders from afar.

What if those black figures didn't disappear because I see them?

What if they are there wandering? And it's not my fault why they're there.

What if blinding my right eye is useless?

What if... I blinded myself because I was afraid?

"Ming Yu! Ming Yu!" Chen Ming Yu snaps back to earth when she heard Lan Bao's excited voice.

"What is it?"

"Aiya, my friend. You're not really paying attention to this banquet, no? There's a scene. We could now watch a good show with this boring banquet!" Lan Bao exclaims and hurriedly squeeze herself in the crowd.

"Who are you to claim that she's yours" The man in blue brocade robe angrily spoke.

The green-robed man answered: "She's just like any other girl. Nothing special."

"Xiao Che, you have thick skin! Chen Yu will never be yours!"

Wait, what? Did Lan Bao hear it right? They're fighting over my friend, Chen Ming Yu?

How shameless this Xiao Che be to actually claim Chen Ming Yu as her possession!

"Jealous?" The green-robed handsome man asked the blue robe man with a raised brow.

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous? This is the first time I'll be meeting Miss Chen and I'm not as shameless as you that when he sees a beautiful woman your lower half will do the work. You're just a horse stud(1) wanting to plant seeds everywhere!"

Pfffffff !!!

Lan Bao cannot help but laugh aloud. Her laughter gets the attention of every noble guest.

Horse stud? Damn! You got it right!

Chen Ming Yu, on the other hand, is unaffected. Her gaze stays on the handsome blue robe man. His phoenix-like eyes and perfectly shaped eyebrows made his face looked perfect.

Noticing her gaze to the blue-robed man, Lan Bao smilingly spoke when she approaches Chen Ming Yu.

"That is Dei Min. A sole young master in the Dei Family. He was pretty decent, actually. Dei Min was supposed to enter Zephyr academy like me but he was completely defeated by his scheming opponent."

"I think this time, Dei Min will try to enter again. Let's invite him over if we depart to Zephyrus."

"Sure, no problem."

He seems not a bad guy. Chen Ming Yu thought.

"A woman like her deserve to be under my body!" Xiao Che said.

"How shameless can you be? A genius like her can become your woman? Keep dreaming!" Dei Min turn around and accidentally, his gaze lingers on Chen Ming Yu for a moment before retracting his eyes and leave the banquet.

What was that? I feel like...I met her gaze earlier. Even though her face is covered with a thin white silk, I know I definitely met her gaze.

"What happened?"

The General who wasn't at the scene asked. He leaves just for a moment and when he came back, there's a ruckus going on?

"It's nothing General. Just a bunch of young kids pursuing a flower." An elder said while laughing but a certain young lady who heard it is fuming with anger.

What do you say, old man? Pursuing a flower? Are you joking with me? My friend is not even interested in the two people. How can they pursue her when they didn't even ask her permission?

And that Xiao Che stud! My friend Ming Yu will never be your woman! You already have too many concubines! You manwhore!

"General!" Lan Bao called. Dissatisfaction is clearly visible on her small beautiful face.

"We're leaving! These people are disrespecting my friend! If her people heard about what happened I can only light a candle for you!"(2)

She reasoned. Adding some fear in their hearts.

This girl...

You're threatening them, Lan Bao. What if they decided to eliminate me early because they felt threatened?

Chen Ming Yu facepalm herself.

[Q: Meaning: (1) a person who really enjoys bedding different types of beautiful women. To put it simply, A womanizer or a playboy.

(2) If Chen Ming Yu's people heard about what happened to this banquet. Lan Bao can only lit a candle after their death.]
