Chapter 200 (2/2)
Fatty Valen smiled and stepped forth, saying, “Butler Setques, long time no see. Do you still remember me? I’m the Valen from the Regional Selection Office, I previously came to meet the Governor…”
However, Setques was unable to react to Valen’s words at all. With a slight movement, creating a series of afterimages, he had passed by Valen and went right up to Fang Xingjian, displaying Knight-level abilities.
He looked at Fang Xingjian and said with great enthusiasm, “Are you Young Master Fang Xingjian? Kirst Royal Academy’s Fang Xingjian?”
Fang Xingjian replied, “I am Fang Xingjian.”
Setques immediately broke into smiles and enthusiastically grabbed Fang Xingjian’s hand, pulling him toward the manor and said, “Haha, this is excellent. Please come with me. Everyone’s talking about you.”
Valen was stopped, but he shouted loudly, “Hey, hey, hey! What about me?”
Fang Xingjian turned back and lifted his chin slightly in Valen’s direction, saying, “He’s with me.”
Setques snapped his fingers and fatty Valen was allowed entry as well.
The young ladies who were standing in a row outside the entrance stared at this scene with wide eyes and mouths agape. Although they had not managed to enter the upper society echelon in Great Western City, they were well aware about the many things regarding aristocrats.
The short-haired young lady who had been the first to tease Fang Xingjian and Valen said, “That person earlier is Butler Setques, right?” The three main stewards in the Governor’s residence were all Knights who were not only very strong, but at the same time powerful representatives of the Governor himself.
Another young lady gulped and said, “Last time, I saw the Secretariat from the Ministry of Finance being very respectful before him, but Steward Setques was still a bit cold. What on earth was that earlier?”
“What else could it be? That guy, did you guys hear his name? Heck, he must be some important character, a very important character. Otherwise, why would Steward Setques personally come out to receive him? Did you guys see the smile on that Steward Setques’ face earlier?”
“Fang Xingjian, that guy is called Fang Xingjian. I heard it clearly,” another young lady said anxiously. “Oh no! We were still teasing them earlier… He wouldn’t possibly bear a grudge, would he?”
Thinking of these, the few coquettish b*tches felt terrified.
Valen followed behind Setques, looking at the white jade flooring, looking at the up to a thousand lamp posts in the area as well as the variety of luxurious decors. He was astonished.
This time around, for the Hundred Blossom Banquet, the manor looked even more luxurious and beautiful than the last time he had seen it.
However, Fang Xingjian did not show much of a reaction. After all, although the individual’s martial arts cultivation was very strong in the Miracle World, in the area of construction, accessories and energy sources, it was centuries back compared to the Earth’s, where any of the main cities would be much prettier than this place.
So how could Fang Xingjian possibly feel overwhelmed?
As they were walking, two people suddenly dashed out from the bushes. A green-haired aristocrat and a young lady who looked like a model walked out, their clothes all messed up, still busily straightening them out. They had obviously been having fun in the bushes.
“How did you come in?!”
They were surprised seeing Fang Xingjian first thing when they came out. They were about to shout when they saw Setques next to Fang Xingjian.
Setques frowned and said, “Young Master Gable, please be aware of your identity.” He was from the Governor’s wife, Ms Hathaway’s family, and although he was not pleased with his actions he could not be overly reproachful.
The green-haired young man scratched his head awkwardly, obviously a bit frightened of this steward. However, he immediately pointed to Fang Xingjian and said, “Steward Setques, why did you bring this guy in? He’s just someone trying to sneak into the Hundred Blossom Banquet.” Earlier on, he had been looking at Fang Xingjian in disdain. How could he have expected to meet him again here, and to even be caught in an awkward situation!
Setques frowned and solemnly replied, “Young Master Gable, please do not spout rubbish. Young Master Fang Xingjian is Master’s honorable guest, the person Master Yuelun is looking for.”
With that, he continued to lead the way for Fang Xingjian with great enthusiasm.
When Valen passed by, he intentionally threw a disdainful look at the green-haired young man.
Seeing the three of them leaving, the green-haired young man was stuck in a stupor, not understanding what had just happened.
“This cannot do, I must go and see who on earth this guy is. If he snuck in through trickery, I’ll make sure he dies.”
