Chapter 420: Arriving At Risserd (2/2)

Ye Chong and his bunch did not stand out much. Guang Hua was an alchemist center, but it was already below average compared the entire free space zone in terms of combat.

As they left the ship, staff members appeared for ushering. This was not the first trip for Tackan and his friends, so they were familiar with the procedure.

Ye Chong and company were led into the Yan Family compound. Every planet's Congregation representatives would be provided with special accommodation.

”This will be where you stay throughout the Congregation. Our Family will provide your meals. If you have other requests, please let us know. We will do what we can to assist you.” The usherer from the Yan Family bowed formally, but he could not help but steal a glance at Feng Su. Female Jie experts were rare, and female Jie experts who could attend the Congregation were rarer still.

Of course, more importantly, this was a very beautiful Congregation contender. She would definitely rank high in the lineup of the most beautiful female Congregation contenders in history.

”Alright.” It was Liu Sheng who replied with courtesy. No matter how bad they behaved normally, it would not do to act carelessly in the Yan Family.

The Yan Family disciple disciplined himself as well as someone from an aristocratic family ought to, quickly directing his attention away from Feng Su, composed himself, and said, ”I hope you will all feel at home. The last group of Congregation contenders will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. The Family head and wife has prepared a banquet to welcome all of you. Please honor us with your presence!”

”Of course! We'll be sure to join you,” Liu Sheng answered swiftly.

Liu Sheng's attitude must have won the usherer's favor, for the man smiled as he said, ”You must be tired from your long journey. Please rest well.” He then left their house.

”It's best if everyone stayed within the building. Any sightseeing of the area can wait until after the Congregation. If you have to leave for urgent matters, remember to bring your weapon with you,” Liu Sheng advised the group seriously, but the words were obviously meant for Ye Chong and Feng Su. They were the only newcomers. The rest of the group did not even deign to pay him any attention.

”Is it really that dicey out there?” Feng Su asked in surprise.

”Dicey?” Liu Sheng chuckled carelessly and said, ”That word doesn't quite describe it. Many capable people died right here every year, you know? Risserd has another name, called the Pro's Graveyard. Don't think that Jie experts can do as they please here. The Jie experts here, hehe, you'll know exactly how strong they are very soon.”

Ye Chong ignored him. He did not intend to go out anyway. Sightseeing was not one of his hobbies. Besides, he did not want to get into trouble. While his looks had been altered, making him difficult to be recognized, it was still better to lay low. Ye Chong understood the importance of that.

Feng Su thought about it for a moment, and returned to her room as well.

The Congregation, a spectacular event that many had dreamed to be a part of, did not excite Ye Chong at all. The only reason he was here was because he had promised Tackan and his group, and also because he was a little curious of all the experts that were said to surface in this event. However, he would mostly observe the Congregation without getting involved. This was only a chance to expand his worldview. He did not care to think about what role he should play in the event.

Because of his intentions, Ye Chong was quite relaxed, while Liu Sheng and others were all stressed out.

Dinner was sent over by the Yan Family's people. The meal was excellent, and Ye Chong went into a good mood because of it.

After dinner, when Ye Chong was about to return to his room, he suddenly heard Feng Su said, ”I want to go out for a walk, anyone want to accompany me?” Her sweet voice was tempting.

Liu Sheng and company could not help but frown. They did not expect Feng Su to actually plan to head out.

Just when everyone was at a lost, a calm voice came from behind them, saying, ”Don't go out.”

It was Ye Chong. He had reached the door, and stood before it to stop her from leaving. Letting Feng Su out? He knew exactly who Feng Su was. It was impossible for the Xi Feng Tribe to be powerless on such an important planet. If he let Feng Su out now, she would surely return with a whole squad of mechs to kill them. It would be too late for him then.

”You're stopping me? Why?” Feng Su asked calmly, as though Ye Chong's objection was expected.

The others looked to Ye Chong. They had noticed the strange relationship between the two of them. When Ye Chong first refused to return Feng Su's bag, they had already thought it strange. The fact that he was stopping her from leaving now was even more confusing. Was he worried about Feng Su? The cold look on Ye Chong's face ruled out that possibility.

”No particular reason.” Ye Chong did not budge.

”You know who I am, don't you?” Feng Su's eyes were fixed on Ye Chong as she asked this question out of the blue.
