The Spirit World

Chapter 239 How could the guy who would become the lamb be so important?

The open door seemed to split all the glowing crystals in the house in half, scattering the light all over the face of this "newcomer".

Rosades stepped forward immediately and used extremely fast blocking movements to completely block Chang Yufeng at the door, so that all the guests could no longer see Chang Yufeng.

"You came?"

Chang Yufeng was stopped at the door. He didn't know what was going on, so he could only take a step back and nod to Rosades.

Xun Huangying was kicked unexpectedly by Chang Yufeng and screamed twice. Lin'er was also bumped by Chang Yufeng and her whole body tilted a little, then stood up again.

"Who is this."

"Um, my...friend. He's here to assist me."

"Oh, that's right, but it seems that our commission is only for you, not..."

Rosades used the word "you" towards Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng felt that Rosades was too enthusiastic and looked at him puzzledly. However, because of Lin'er, he felt a little embarrassed.

"He's here to protect me, not to cause trouble, Mr. Rosades."

Rosades noticed Chang Yufeng's expression and looked at Lin'er in a friendly manner. Lin'er's extraordinary appearance surprised him a little. He asked very gently and strangely: "Although your friend is not among our invitations, today only, Rosades Mansion welcomes any friends to come. You're welcome."

After saying that, he saw Xun Huangying again. Xun Huangying coughed twice, threw the braid on his belly aside, and straightened his chest very seriously. However, he was still very petite, only up to Chang Yufeng's knees, and Rosades couldn't say anything to him.

"Come in. The banquet has already begun. Take them to their seats." Rosades signaled to the housekeeper, then gave up the seat at the door and let the housekeeper take Chang Yufeng and his group to their exclusive seats.

Chang Yufeng was not shy, and facing the gazes of nearly a hundred people in the hall, he looked more calm and composed. Except for Kallen, everyone here was from the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce. They were affiliated with Rosades, so they would naturally not make things difficult for the child whom Rosades admired very much. However, not many people were optimistic about whether this child could take on this commission.

Many of their looks showed disturbance, even contempt, but few of them could show it on their faces or say it out loud. They just stared at Chang Yufeng until he sat down before continuing their conversation among themselves.

Lin'er was not so relaxed. Facing so many people's gazes, she had to blush. When she blushed, the shy beauty of a girl was revealed, which surprised or moved many men.

Needless to say, Xun Huangying did not enjoy the attention of the crowd, but rather had a vague "disdain" towards him. No matter what the members of the Chamber of Commerce in Wenti County said, they were not worthy of his attention.

But the black clothes, black skirt and black veil caught his attention on time.

Kallen, who had been drinking, glanced at him from behind her veil. He caught her glance without exaggeration and looked at her.

Behind the veil, Xun Huangying had to become serious. Kallen's mystery did not only come from her "black clothes", but also from her aura concealed by magic. No one could "notice" her for no reason.

Only people with a certain level of strength could discover that she was here.

Xun Huangying fell silent, and throughout the entire banquet, his eyes never left Kallen.

Chang Yufeng was brought by the butler to a smaller table. The servant pulled out chairs for the three of them. When they sat down, they found that there were only six people at the table, while the normal round table next to them had no one sitting there. The dishes had already been served, as if they were the first guests to arrive.

It was obvious that some people had not arrived yet, and they were very deliberately arranged together.

"Excuse me, can I eat something?" Chang Yufeng then knew the identity of the housekeeper. The housekeeper nodded slightly and left without saying anything.

There were many people attending the banquet. If Chang Yufeng and his group and Kallen were not present, it could be regarded as a normal exchange banquet between the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce and the Langya Guild. Rosades entertained almost everyone in the Chamber of Commerce and the Guild.

The first dish, steak with sauce, was placed directly in front of them. The beef was cooked to medium rare, between done and rare, with a rich sauce and the aroma of chopped green onions.

"Will it be embarrassing?" Chang Yufeng noticed the blush on Lin'er's face after he sat down. The blush had not disappeared yet, and Lin'er's face must be burning hot.

"No." Lin'er still had the sword on her back, which made her look awkward sitting on the chair. But this made what she had just said seem a little bit hypocritical.

Lin'er didn't feel awkward. She grabbed the knife and fork and started cutting the beef in front of her.

She had long been accustomed to the Imperial chopsticks, and for a moment she could not cut the beef with the knife and fork, which made her face redder and redder.

Chang Yufeng kept looking at her, which made her more eager to eat the meat. Chang Yufeng watched Lin'er's knife and fork sliding on the plate, and gently grabbed Lin'er's hand. Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng, with panic in her eyes from time to time.

This little girl is like this sometimes. When she thinks about doing something, she becomes stubborn naturally, and becomes troubled because she can't do it.

Chang Yufeng could certainly understand this feeling. He had felt more than once that Lin'er and she were the same kind of people, which was why they were so attracted to each other.

"Just think of it like cutting bread, except this bread is harder and will move, so you have to hold the fork down firmly. Think of the fork as your hand."

Chang Yufeng reminded Lin'er. He looked around and noticed that many pairs of eyes were looking here. The nobles living in the city looked at Lin'er's knife and fork with the corners of their mouths raised in a playful manner.

They naturally knew that no matter how gorgeous the clothes and appearance were, they could not cover up the words and deeds of a country bumpkin, which was the culprit that caused Lin'er to become more and more anxious.

Their eyes seemed a little colder when they met Chang Yufeng's. He was just a small guide and would definitely not be the focus of the banquet. Moreover, this was a very special Chinese meal, a practice meal. The Principality attached great importance to dinner, and the Chinese meal was so grand, which meant that they might set off in the evening.

Lin'er nodded without saying anything, rarely showing an anxious expression. Chang Yufeng could sense that she didn't want to embarrass herself, not because of herself.

Yes, she had insisted to come here in the first place, and when she was stopped, she wanted to step forward and explain, saying that she was here to protect Brother Yufeng, that she would not cause any trouble, and so on...and so forth.

As a result, she was suppressed by Rosades' aura. No, it should be that she did not react at once, and Chang Yufeng finished what she wanted to say in an instant. Even Rosades did not care so much about the presence of one more person.

The speeches that should have been prepared were in vain, and the scenes that should have appeared did not appear. She was a little flustered at the beginning, not knowing how to respond. Now she was faced with a piece of difficult-to-deal medium-rare beef, and she seemed even more anxious.

Even though Chang Yufeng leaned sideways and taught her how to use the knife and fork step by step, it was still difficult to calm her down. She could only lower her head in silence.

Chang Yufeng wasn't sure whether Lin'er could use a knife and fork or not. Anyway, that was how he usually imagined it. No matter if it was right or not, as long as he could eat it, it was fine.

"Humph, you little bitch, you're so hypocritical."

Xun Huangying mocked Lin'er and put a large piece of beef straight into his mouth.

The lamb eating beef caused a lot of discussion among the people watching the table. Most of the women covered their mouths in horror at Xun Huangying chewing beef in big mouthfuls, while the adults shook their heads helplessly at Xun Huangying's etiquette. More often than not, it was a kind of mockery. Although Xun Huangying did not do anything out of the ordinary, it was not elegant for him to eat a whole steak in one breath, not to mention that from the beginning, the Fenghang Chamber of Commerce had never had a country bumpkin invited to a banquet.

"It's delicious. Lululu."

Xun Huangying deliberately sucked his fingers, enjoying it very much in front of all the viewers, even repeatedly. The first time he did it, all the viewers dropped their jaws, and the second time he did it, they all shook their heads and sighed.

Some of the female relatives even couldn't close their lips and made a few clicking sounds, like they were tearing the bark of a tree with their mouths wide open in disgust.

They couldn't be blamed for this, it was because Xun Huangying's eating manners were too ugly. But Xun Huangying was the kind of person who thought those people were crazy the more they looked down upon him. He sucked twice purely for revenge, and one suck was usually enough for him.

No matter what, they were already seated, so they could eat whatever they wanted. Lin'er was a little more shy, and she also calmed down after finishing her steak.

They didn't know if they were late, but it seemed that for such a grand banquet to entertain everyone, they were very late. Even Rosades was not on the stage to entertain them.

Chang Yufeng didn't understand what kind of banquet this was, nor did he understand the rules. He could only eat and watch.

Chang Yufeng still has no idea what Rosades is up to, but he has always understood the value of taking one step at a time. Although he feels helpless, he has no choice but to do so.

First we had steak, then various dishes. The chefs at the Rosades Mansion all showed off their skills in making extremely delicious dishes.

He also started eating without hesitation, but Lin'er and Xun Huangying didn't like it and didn't say a word. He shook his head. Being in the situation, he could only helplessly pay attention to the people around him, trying to find more details.

As the logos of the Fenghang Chamber of Commerce came into view, he realized that all the people here belonged to the Fenghang Chamber of Commerce owned by Rosades.

Each of them paid attention to his table intentionally or unintentionally. This was natural and there was nothing strange about it. His group did not belong to the same organization as theirs, so it was natural that they would pay attention to them because they were a little different.

"I have a very bad feeling."

Xun Huangying was doing the same thing. He looked at Chang Yufeng and glanced seriously in the direction of the woman in black.

Although the woman was sitting at a table surrounded by many people, she was strangely different. Drinking alone made her mysteriousness even more out of place here.

"Me too."

Chang Yufeng muttered as he looked at Lin'er. Lin'er ate very little and had stopped eating. She looked at everyone quietly. As the "outlier" who was being stared at by everyone at the banquet, Lin'er's tranquility made her appear more indifferent.

"Look at that little old man."

Xun Huangying asked Chang Yufeng to pay attention to Rosades who was sitting in the front row at the banquet. He was talking and laughing, but Chang Yufeng and Xun Huangying, who were far away, could not hear the content of the conversation at all.

Rosades raised his glass and toasted the merchants sitting at the same table. Chang Yufeng and Xun Huangying didn't need to guess, the person sitting at the same table with Rosades must be an extremely important guest.

I was just another guide and I couldn't get a rank in front of Rosades.

"He doesn't care about you anymore."

Xun Huangying was biting a duck leg that was covered in sauce.

"That's normal. I'm not that important yet."

Chang Yufeng said this, but his eyes did not stop. After a quick glance, he noticed the woman in black, Karen.

Generally speaking, black clothes, black uniforms and black hoods are usually worn by magicians. In order to create a subtle sense of mystery between magicians and No-Maj, only true magicians can control this black suit that conceals their aura, otherwise it will become like a black quilt draped over the body.

But that’s not important. What’s important is why she stands out so much?
Just like everyone else in my group.

"I mean, we'll probably be less important than we are now."

Xun Huangying finished eating and drank a glass of juice. After the juice went down his throat, he lay comfortably on the chair and looked at Chang Yufeng jokingly: "I guessed a situation that would be very embarrassing for you. Do you want to hear it?"

"An embarrassing situation?"

Chang Yufeng and Lin'er asked in unison, looking at each other and listening to Xun Huangying hiccuping.

"Ah~ yes~"

Xun Huangying patted his stomach like a drunkard, even though he looked very cute as a lamb: "Is there anything more embarrassing than being abandoned?"

"Yes, of course. After today, I think we won't be able to touch the core of the commission. We are like little dogs, coming when called and leaving when waved away. Humph, how pitiful. I thought our sheep really received some incredible big order, but in the end, others only called you when they need you, and threw you aside when they don't."

Xun Huangying's words made Chang Yufeng and Lin'er silent. For a moment, Chang Yufeng had no way to refute what he said.

This was helpless, but also reasonable. He couldn't even find a word to say and picked up a mouthful of rice with a spoon.

Did anyone know it would turn out like this?
Who knows what it will turn out like?

"No way, let's wait and see."

He originally wanted to eat in silence, but he straightened his head and saw a large group of people coming in from the door one by one at this time. When he saw the familiar faces, his eyes lit up.

Bachi walked in front, followed by Mami and Shirley, and the five people known as the main force of the Wolf Fang Guild walked behind them.

They greeted the people here naturally, until they saw Chang Yufeng, then they walked faster and came to the table next to them and sat down.

Bachi's sharp eyes caught Chang Yufeng's boredom, and his mouth opened and closed reluctantly.

"Hello again, Goddess Guide."
