Chapter 662: Chapter 662 Do You Know Him?
Chu Yunsheng had also attended several high-end gatherings in the past. However, never once he was able to fit into this kind of luxury party. For example, like the ordinary clothes he was wearing now, under the splendor dress of many beautiful women and important men, his dress looked very shabby. There were also a few surprised glances that landed on him. However, after noticing that he did not have a unique temperament or handsome face, although they were puzzled for a moment, they quickly moved their eyes away, losing their curiosity.
If it was in novels, with this kind of situation, there would always be an elegant woman, who would notice such a shabby peculiarity, and then, be attracted by it. However, it would only exist in novels. In reality, their curiosity would only last for a few seconds.
However, if someone could recognize Chu Yunsheng, it would be different. While Chu Yunsheng was still observing the crowd, a maiden as bright as spring leisurely walked toward Chu Yunsheng. She stopped before Chu Yunsheng, frowned while looking at Chu Yunsheng’s face as if she was trying to remember something. A moment later, she asked doubtfully, “Have we met somewhere before?”
Looking at her, Chu Yunsheng struggled to find an image that corresponded to this unfamiliar face in his vast memory bank, so he didn’t want to waste any more of his brain cells, but smiled, and said, “You’ve mistaken me as someone else probably.”
Then, with the wine glass in his hand, he walked past the girl and entered the grand main hall, where the lights were dim, giving people a sensation of drowsiness yet arousing a certain dark feeling.
“Little Yang, do you know him?” After he left, an arrogant but handsome looking man appeared at the girl’s side, asked lightly.
“I think I have met him at a party in the Song family, but I don’t remember it very well.” There was a puzzled look in the girl’s eyes as if she were trying to remember something.
“If you want to know, we’ll take him after the meeting, and we’ll be there for you no matter what.” The handsome man said coldly.
The girl mhm’ed absentmindedly.
At this time, the most important person of the party, the leader of the Phantom Sect, Old Youling appeared. The hall suddenly became quiet. Many eyes were cast on this ghost, with fanaticism, fear, admiration, and vigilance. One of those eyes belonged to Chu Yunsheng, who was in the corner of the main hall.
Old Youling glanced around with a cold face, noticing that there seemed to be nothing strange today. However, there was a faint of anger on its face, as if it was offended by something or someone.
Not happy meant that it wanted to eat people. This was why the Phantom Sect Leader was scary.
Today, however, it did not seem to have any intention of eating people, at least for the time being. As it sat down, it said coldly, “The reason why I have called you here today is not for Doomsday Bliss. I know that there are people out there saying that that man has come back, and my Phantom Sect will be scared and I will be scared. That’s nonsense! Whether the information about that Chu person is still alive is true or not, my Phantom Sect is not scared of anything, if my Phantom Sect wants to kill someone, no one can stop us!”
With its domineering tone, its cold gaze swept across several people, including the girl who had just spoken to Chu Yunsheng.
The middle-aged man, who it glanced at the first, smiled, seemingly not minding the threat in its tone, and said calmly, “Mr. sect leader, as far as I know, he has indeed come back alive.”
Old Youling coldly said: “So what! You are just a bunch of inferior creatures!”
A faint of anger appeared on the faces of the middle-aged man and other people it glanced at earlier, but all of them tried very hard to hold back their anger. One of them said sarcastically, “Mr. Sect Leader, I heard that before he disappeared, you did not dare to have the slightest bit of disrespect for him, Miss Lin also knows this, right, Miss Lin?”
Only until this moment did Chu Yunsheng notice that next to Old Youling stood a girl, and this girl was Lin Shuiyao. Probably she didn’t know how to answer this question. She could only keep a cold face without saying a single word.
Old Youling didn’t care much about such irony. It sneered, “Oh, actually, I was wrong, you humans are nothing but a bunch of pathetic parasites!”
Its imposing manner was like the higher life overlooking the lower life, making many handsome men and beautiful women worship it madly, and hailing the mighty sect leader constantly.
After their wild hail finally finished, the middle-aged man, who spoke earlier, tried to calm the excited crowd and said, “Mr. sect leader, we are not here to argue with you. We just want to cooperate sincerely with you to deal with Chu Yunsheng together. It is good for both of us.”
Old Youling snorted, “You must be still daydreaming when you thought of those conditions. A bunch of inferior parasites even dared to think about... It is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.”
The middle-aged man tried to hold back the anger that was caused by Old Youling’s insult and said coldly, “Mr. sect leader, according to the information in our hand, Chu Yunsheng’s strength has increased tremendously since the last time we saw him, and according to what he personally said, he has the ability to restrain you, but my people will not be affected by this ability, so we can’t deal with him easily.”
At this time, Old Youling’s wild laughter suddenly appeared in the hall: “you think you can scare me using his name? I have already mastered my divine technique! I can wipe him out easily even if he is here now!”
Chu Yunsheng decided not to listen to it anymore. As he stepped out of the shadow, a quiet voice floated slowly from the dark corner, lingering over people’s heads:
“Oh really? Can the mighty sect leader of the phantom sect show me this divine technique!”
His voice was low and calm, like a breeze over the calm water surface, causing many water ripples in people’s hearts. When everyone turned around, what they saw was Chu Yunsheng’s ordinary face that slowly appeared from the shadow.
“Who are you!? How dare you speak in such a disrespectful manner to the sect leader!”
A male disciple rushed out of the crowd, yelling at Chu Yunsheng, while pointing his figures at him.
Not everyone had a portrait of Chu Yunsheng like what those burly men at the entrance of the building had, and very few people could recognize Chu Yunsheng at first glance in this kind of situation. Moreover, most of the people here were the followers of the Phantom Sect, and they were the most fanatical and loyal of all other followers, so any disrespect for their leader would be considered as an insult that should not be tolerated. Even the middle-aged man, who was the representative of another force also didn’t dare to show any disrespect for their leader.
The reproaches sounded one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they formed a massive barrage of condemnations. If it were not for the fact that this place was the main hall, and no one would dare to use force without the order of Old Youling, those fanatical followers would have already attacked the person.
The mighty sect leader should not be disrespected!
However, amongst reproaches and condemnations, there were also some people, who looked at the fanatical crowd calmly. But when they looked at Chu Yunsheng, all of them couldn’t conceal the surprise in their eyes.
One of them was Lin Shuiyao, who had been standing silently next to Old Youling. “It’s Mr. Chu!” There was also a whiff of pretentious surprise in her tone.
Old Youling had also seen him, and the smile on its face instantly froze. However, the new deputy sect leader probably didn’t see it, or maybe for him, the ordinary-looking young man before them would not pose any threat to the sect leader at all, or perhaps, he thought that this was a perfect opportunity for him to condemn Lin Shuiyao’s disrespect behavior toward the sect leader, so before Old Youling even said anything, he spoke first,
“Miss Lin is really an actress, look at her acting skill! It is so believable! It’s a pity you can’t fool me! You can’t hold it back anymore, can you? Pretending to be faithful to the godfather while doing this kind of thing? You think we are stupid?”
Lin Shuiyao looked at him as if she was looking at an idiot, smiled, and surprisingly did not argue with him.
However, Chu Yunsheng already knew that this smart woman was tricking other people into the words that she wanted them to say.
If he killed Old Youling, she would be able to use the vague information that was revealed by those words to protect herself. On the other hand, even if Old Youling killed him, she still had a chance to explain herself to Old Youling.
Chu Yunsheng had experienced her cleverness before. Unexpectedly inside the Pseudo-Monolith, she was still that cunning and sly. If it weren’t for the fact that he knew what kind of woman she was in advance, he wouldn’t have been able to tell this much from just those words.
