Chapter 1916: Seating Arrangements (2/2)

Huang Xiaolong then took the chance to ask the man questions about the Luring Lightning Clan’s celebration ceremony.

The guy easily spilled everything he knew to Huang Xiaolong.

After hearing the guy’s explanation, Huang Xiaolong was slightly surprised. It seemed like the Luring Lightning Clan’s Patriarch’s personal disciple, Chen Nan had broken through to the Emperor Realm a few days back. Thus the Luring Lightning Clan was holding this celebration ceremony and had invited the surrounding world surfaces’ forces.

Although the Luring Lightning Clan was said to live in seclusion, they had not cut off all contact with the outside world. Only the clan’s disciples rarely step out of this world surface.

“Since brother’s arrival coincides with this happy event, why don’t you come with us if you have nothing else to do?” The pair invited Huang Xiaolong familiarly.

Huang Xiaolong nodded in agreement, “Alright.” Since he was planning to head to the Lightning Clan, Huang Xiaolong accepted the invitation.

As the three set off again, they began to talk. Huang Xiaolong learned that the guy and the woman were actually Hall Masters of the Azure Firmament Emperor Palace.

The Azure Firmament Emperor Palace’s headquarters was located nearby. In the Divine World, the Azure Firmament Emperor Palace ranked in the hundreds. Although this status was nothing in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, it was a status the Lightning Clan needed to ingratiate.

The guy was called Wu Yichun, and the woman’s name was Cui Yiting.

“Brother has an extraordinary bearing. May I ask which Emperor Palace’s disciple you might be?” Wu Yichun asked. Because he had noticed Huang Xiaolong’s extraordinary bearing, he had invited him along to get to know each other. Wu Yichun was a mid-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm. Despite Huang Xiaolong’s bearing, he could not see through Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation.

“What Emperor Palace’s disciple could I be? I’m just a disciple of the Ele-lynx Clan.” Naturally, Wu Yichun’s intention did not escape Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, and he answered his question with a crude white-lie.

The Ele-lynx Clan was merely a top power amongst the Divine World’s first-rank forces. Although they were powerful in the eyes of first-rank forces, they were insignificant before other forces like the Azure Firmament Emperor Palace.

As expected, upon hearing that Huang Xiaolong was merely a disciple of the Ele-lynx Clan, the man immediately lost interest in getting to know Huang Xiaolong, and his attitude grew lukewarm. The conversation dwindled to a single syllable or no more than a few words. As for Cui Yiting, her demeanor was snobbier, and she didn’t spare Huang Xiaolong a glance even from the corner of her eye.

Huang Xiaolong did not mind the changes in their attitude at all.

……

Half a day later, the group of three finally arrived at the Lightning Clan’s headquarters, or more accurately, the Luring Lightning Clan’s headquarters.

“Hall Master Wu Yichun, this Senior is…?” A higher echelon of Lightning Clan inquired after exchanging greetings with Wu Yichun and Cui Yiting, as his attention fell on Huang Xiaolong.

This Lightning Clan’s higher echelon member was a late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm, yet he too couldn’t see through Huang Xiaolong.

Wu Yichun answered, “This here is the Ele-lynx Clan’s Brother Huang. He was passing by and wanted to come to have a look. So I brought him with me.”

His attitude was neither endearing nor distant, neither cold nor warm. The Lightning Clan member and others instantly understood the relationship between the three of them. It was merely of a passerby stranger.

“I see. Brother Huang Xiaolong Ele-lynx Clan, thank you for coming today.” The Lightning Clan’s higher echelon member cupped his fists at Huang Xiaolong and said smilingly. His attitude was considered polite, but a little distant compared to his warm friendliness towards Wu Yichun.

Huang Xiaolong merely nodded.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s response, the Lightning Clan’s higher echelon member frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, but his composure returned just as quickly as he invited the three people inside.

After passing the foyer, the Lightning Clan’s higher echelon member personally led Wu Yichun and Cui Yiting to the important guests' seatings. In contrast, Huang Xiaolong was packed off to an ordinary core disciple’s seat in the outer hall.

In general, only guests from super forces would be seated in the inner hall. Therefore, Huang Xiaolong was arranged in the outer hall with the rest of the first-rank forces.

Seeing that he was arranged to sit at an obscure corner of the outer hall, Huang Xiaolong smiled wryly in the heart.
