Chapter 255 - Malicious Taunting (1/2)

Outside the Keystone Business, the red carpet paved the floor, and there was a large number of waiters on either side.

Powerful guards guarded the road to the Keystone Business so as not to obstruct the arrival of VIPs.

On both sides of the road, there was already a sea of people. Looking at it, people were everywhere, and the area was blocked up by them. Most were practitioners, but there were some ordinary people too.

They all came to see the fun and stood outside because they were not qualified to receive the invitation letter of Keystone Business and could not enter to view the celebration.

However, they didn’t want to miss such a big event.

Today, all the big shots in Mist City would come as expected, including the famous legendary artistic practitioner Liu Qingyan. It would be worth their journey if they could see these magnates before they entered the Keystone Business.

On the sides, many young men and women were hoisting banners with exaggerated and striking slogans on them.

“We prefer Yan’s smile than a picturesque river and mountain.”

“Welcome, Miss Liu Qingyan to Mist City.”

“Qingyan’s wonderful voice should only be heard in heaven.”

It was exaggerated. However, it displayed the influence of Liu Qingyan among the younger generation of the empire.

When Chu Feng arrived here with the invitation letter, he saw such a lively scene and could not help but feel amazed about Keystone Business’s forces.

Chu Feng did not rush to Keystone Business and stood in the crowd instead. He wanted to see how many dignitaries would actually come to the event today.

Before long, the crowd in the distance suddenly became agitated and started shouting.

The president of Mist College was here.

Senior Wei Lingzhen was a well-known person in the Tao-insight Realm. He had been teaching at Mist College for many years and rarely appeared in public. Chu Feng never thought that Wei Lingzhen would come in person this time.

With the noise, an old man in plain clothes riding on a green donkey appeared from a distant road. He had a clean face and a master’s demeanor, behaving like an idle crane.

Seeing him, the eyes of many practitioners showed admiration and awe.

This was Wei Lingzhen, a famous figure in Mist City.

Wei Lingzhen was the first to come.

Chu Feng was surprised. From what he knew, Wei Lingzhen was a lonely and indifferent person. He hated gatherings, but this time, he was not only here in person but was also the first one to appear, which was quite unusual and unexpected.

It could be seen that Keystone Business was so powerful that it could even invite great reclusive figures like Wei Lingzhen. Not every force could do this.

It was not long after Wei Liangzhen arrived when another cry burst out. The sound was loud enough to shock everyone and made the event much livelier.

The prominent and influential people who were rarely seen in the past came on treasure carriages or spiritual beasts one by one.

They brought a different sense of dignity to people. It made the field cheer with amazement and caused a sensation.

When Governor Liu Wujun showed up, the atmosphere became more and more stirring. Liu Wujun was one of the most influential figures in the Southwestern Province of the empire.

At this time, Chu Feng’s expression also changed slightly with an unspeakable complexity. He watched the team of Liu Wujun enter Keystone Business.

Just as he was about to take his eyes back, he saw a middle-aged scholar from Liu Wujun’s team coming straight to him.

Seeing this man, Chu Feng’s eyes suddenly shrank, and his face became cold. A trace of hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes imperceptibly.

“What a surprise to see you here!”

The middle-aged scholar came over with his hands on his back. His chin was slightly raised as he glanced at Chu Feng with a trace of pride.

“And why can’t I be here?”

Chu Feng lost the elegant and romantic temperament of the past, and his voice became cold and low. It seemed that he was enduring something in his heart as his face became gloomy.

“So many years have passed, but you are still stubborn. You should know that as long as I am in Mist City, you will never have the face to raise your head.”

The middle-aged scholar spoke slowly, “Look at me. I’m invited to the venue of the celebration. But you, the chief executive of the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists, have not even received an invitation letter. You have to stand outside the door and watch the fun. If your relatives and friends in the Forbidden City were to know your situation now, they would surely look down on you even more.”

Green veins appeared on Chu Feng’s forehead. He seemed to be irritated by these words. His eyes became fixed on the middle-aged scholar. After a long time, he suddenly smiled and said leisurely, “I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’m here with an invitation letter, but you can only act as Liu Wujun’s lackey to enter the venue.”

Then, without looking at the middle-aged scholar again, he turned and walked towards the gate of Keystone Business.

Taking out the invitation letter, a servant came in with Chu Feng respectfully.
