What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

As soon as I stepped out of the room, the door vanished on the spot.

1:30.

There were already many people in the hall.

Upon seeing Jiuge bring An Chen out, a guy with bandages wrapped around his neck was the first to approach.

Jiuge snorted and ignored her.

The man with the bandages walked away dejectedly, glancing back every now and then as he went.

Other oddly dressed characters were also staring at Jiu Ge, who was exuding a cool and aloof aura.

For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.

Nine Songs has that kind of magic.

Perhaps she was used to it; even with so many people watching, she was able to maintain a calm and composed demeanor.

Sensing a hint of malice in the gaze directed at him, An Chen sighed.

He took a few steps back and walked towards the knight.

Jiuge turned around and glanced at An Chen in surprise, but did not follow.

If she followed, An Chen would definitely be beaten even worse without her protection, and she couldn't allow that to happen.

After An Chen left, soft murmurs began to rise again in the hall.

With the precedent of the bandaged man, no one wants to lose face by trying to chat up Jiuge.

Looking at the knight who was as still as a stone sculpture, An Chen pondered for a moment.

Without sensing any obvious aura, he couldn't make any simple deductions.

“Sir Knight,” An Chen said to the knight with a smile.

"..."

The knight remained motionless and unresponsive.

Are you even human?

"..."

The knight acted as if he hadn't heard, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Are you a spirit?

"..."

Despite being provoked twice, the Cavaliers remained unresponsive.

An Chen was amused.

Touching the 'Yuan' at his waist, he poked the knight's armor as if he were poking Jiu Ge.

Chapter 72 Still Alive

It is icy and has a physical form.

There was no response when he gently poked the knight. An Chen used a little more force, but the knight still didn't react.

There's definitely something wrong with this knight.

He sighed and concentrated some of his strength in his palm.

Then, An Chen patted the knight on the shoulder.

Unexpectedly, in the next instant, the knight's entire body, along with his armor, was thrown out and slammed heavily against the wall.

"boom."

The wall was smashed open on the spot, leaving a large hole.

An Chen was also a little confused. He just wanted to test the other party's strength, but he didn't expect the knight to be launched directly.

The knight stumbled to his feet, then drew his rapier and slashed at An Chen.

Jiuge turned around in surprise, and everyone else turned around as well.

An Chen did not react.

Taking two steps at a time, Jiuge rushed towards An Chen.

Just then, An Chen reached out and gently flicked the rapier that was about to strike him.

The knight collapsed completely.

Jiuge stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone around was stunned.

"I knew this guy was something else!" Su Zhi grabbed Li Zhi and rushed out, pointing and gesturing at An Chen.

The short-haired girl dressed in a pumpkin costume also scrutinized An Chen with a critical look.

Several small groups dressed as witches and wizards began to whisper among themselves.

"Are you alright?" Jiuge asked with concern.

She didn't care about the people around her anymore. If she could, she would even rush over to check if there was anything wrong with An Chen's body.

"It's nothing, I just touched him. I didn't expect him to be such a good actor, acting so exaggeratedly... He's really... mischievous?" An Chen chuckled as he spoke.

When he mentioned that he had only touched him and the words "actor," he deliberately raised his voice.

"..."

Jiuge glanced at the unconscious Knight and her expression became complicated.

She knew An Chen had a special constitution, but in this situation...

"Hahahaha. Just a touch? Are you kidding me?" The hook-nosed man wearing a werewolf mask scoffed, as if he had heard a joke.

“I also think he’s not simple.” Li Zhi touched her little braid, her expression becoming increasingly interesting.

He has always been very interested in An Chen.

Seeing the current situation, Li Zhi's interest in An Chen grew even stronger.

"Exactly, exactly, still trying to play the coward." Su Zhi put her hands on her hips, with an expression that said, "I see right through you."

"You must be Jiu Ge's partner. State your name." The short, spiky man with an afro crossed his arms and stared arrogantly at An Chen.

This move looks good when Jiu Ge does it, but if anyone else did it, An Chen would just want to walk away on the spot...

The other strange-looking people didn't say anything, but they didn't stop staring at each other.

"You don't understand Mr. Knight's personality these days, do you?"

An Chen smiled politely.

Judging from Jiuge's description, the current Knight probably doesn't befriend anyone.

"..."

Everyone remained silent, glancing at the fallen knight and then at An Chen.

They were indeed not familiar with Mr. Knight, and there was also the possibility that he was actually a drama queen.

"Alright, stop fooling around, everyone move aside." A dignified yet aged voice came from behind.

With the exception of a very few who didn't move, everyone else present made way for the protagonist with the weathered voice.

The elderly man, holding a cane, took steady steps forward.

As he walked, his eyes were fixed on the knight on the ground.

Seeing that the knight remained motionless, the old man's pupils dilated for a few seconds.

He walked up to the knight, sized him up for a while, and then glanced at An Chen.

An Chen saw a hint of pressure in the other person's eyes.

"Indeed, it is acting." Suddenly, as if his expression had changed, the old man smiled gently.

Upon hearing this, An Chen remained expressionless and said nothing.

"..."

Jiuge remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing that the old man also said it was an act, no one continued to doubt anything, and they just followed the old man to stare at the fallen knight.

It seems they're waiting for the drama queen knight to finish his act and come back to life.

The old man gently tapped the knight's armor with his cane.

After waiting for about twenty seconds, the knight slowly stood up and bowed to the old man.

He then returned to the gate.

"It's still alive!" someone exclaimed.

"What good is it if someone dies?..." someone questioned.

The old man coughed and then said, "Now that everyone is here, please take your seats."

The cane tapped the ground, and suddenly many chairs appeared in the hall, with a huge exhibition stand at the very front.

Everyone took their seats according to their status.

The higher one's status and ability, the closer one sits.

Conversely, if one is weak and holds a low position in the association, one can only sit at the very back.

Pointing to the first few VIP seats in the front row, Jiuge led An Chen over.

An Chen glanced at the frontmost position.

Next to the VIP seats were several other people who looked very important, including the frog-faced doctor that Jiu Ge had mentioned earlier. They must be the people "above" that Jiu Ge was talking about.

"He is Mr. Huang, who is in charge of every major conference."

After taking her seat, Jiuge spoke softly.
