”This gentleman is?” The old mistress asked with a smile. That was also something Ye Chong wanted to know,
Han Yue realized that he had not introduced his friend, and quickly explained, ”This is a good friend of mine, Luo Shi, a famous expert on Dankwood planet.” He turned to Luo Shi and said, ”The Old Mistress is an honored guest of the Han Family.” His introduction for the old mistress was vague, but Luo Shi was also smart enough not to question. He bowed to the old mistress smoothly, giving off a friendly vibe.
”Ah!” Ying’er, who stood beside the old mistress, gasped, and immediately felt embarrassed. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands, but could not help asking, ”Are you the Luo Shi who participated in the last Congregation?”
Luo Shi smiled and acknowledged humbly, ”I didn’t think my lady would remember a nobody like me.”
Ying’er blushed again and said, ”You’re too modest, Mr Luo. If someone like you is not famous, then there won’t be too many famous people out there.” This was no exaggeration. Every participant of the Congregation were true experts. Many young experts were uncovered in each Congregation, and these young experts would usually become famous due to their participation. To many, joining the Congregation was the route to fame.
”Mr Luo must be really impressive, to participate in the Congregation at such a young age,” the old mistress commended.
Luo Shi said humbly, ”Old Mistress, you’re too kind.”
Ye Chong studied the man called Luo Shi coldly. The fact that his face looked familiar bothered him.
”And this is?” Luo Shi looked to Ye Chong with seemingly unperturbed eyes, but Ye Chong could sense that he was wary of him.
”Er …” Han Yue was troubled, not knowing how to introduce the mysterious alchemist. The alchemist had quite literally fell out of the sky, and until now, he still could not figure out what that bird-like mechanical device was.
Han Yue realized suddenly that he knew nothing about the alchemist, not his name and age, nor where he came from and where he was going to. He knew nothing at all about this man.
”This is …” Han Yue was about to make something up when suddenly, he heard a shout, ”Careful!” In front of him, Luo Shi vanished in a blur.
A terrifying cry came from behind him!
Han Yue quickly turned around, and saw an ambusher with a lance pierced through his body. The lance was thrown with enough force to go straight through the ambusher’s body, pinning him to the ground.
Luo Shi stood before Han Yue with a calm expression. Han Yue finally realized what had happened, and looked to Luo Shi with gratitude.
Ye Chong saw exactly what had happened. The ambusher had thrown a lance towards them, probably aiming for the old mistress. However, the knockout agent must still be in effect, and the lance strayed from its target towards Han Yue.
Luo Shi moved quickly, appearing behind Han Yua and caught the lance easily. His powerful and explosive motion surprised Ye Chong. Luo Shi then threw the lance, which struck the heart of the ambusher.
This series of events unfolded in a flash.
When Luo Shi moved, Ye Chong’s eyes widened! However, he quickly resumed his calm composure, and his abrupt change in expression was not noticed by anyone around him.
However, what he saw was like dropping a bombshell for Ye Chong!
Luo Shi was strong, as he could tell that from the man’s reaction just now. His movements were powerful, and he could control his strength with precision. The bodyguards of the old mistress all felt wary against Luo Shi.
However, Ye Chong was not thinking about that. Luo Shi was strong, but that was not enough to surprise Ye Chong that much. He had noticed something else.
Luo Shi was from the Ye Family!
It was not hard to imagine what a shock this would be for Ye Chong. Ye Chong saw every detail of Luo Shi’s movement just now, and they were typical of the Ye Family’s techniques. Of the Three Aristocratic Families, Xue Lai Clan specialized in machinery, while Xi Feng Tribe in the secret arts. For the Ye Family, their forte was combat, and Ye Chong was most familiar with their ways.
Ye Chong may have learned only the basics from Black Cove, but Black Cove’s style, which was also the Ye Family’s style, had deeply influenced him. As he learned more about combat, he developed a better understanding of the Ye Family’s combat style. He could recognize it anywhere. Tried as Luo Shi had to disguise himself, he could not escape Ye Chong’s eyes!
