Chapter 421: Heroes Are Gathering (2/2)

He would love to cooperate, but Ye Luo was never the cooperative kind in the family, not even under every sincere plight and Ye Yin could not force him to work his way. This Ye Luo was shameless enough to remain the same stubborn even after being placed on a guillotine, and Ye Yin hated that to the core. Ye Luo agreed to ”assist” him only when Ye Yin used the name of the leader in the first place.

And that was why they headed to Risserd, as Ye Luo said that Ye Chong could be joining the Congregation this year. Ye Luo was fine with the operation, on one single condition - only Ye Yin would be allowed to come along. Well Ye Yin was confident in settling Ye Chong singlehandedly, he was the top fighter in He Yue galaxy after all.

Hah, the truth was, Ye Luo told Ye Yin that it might be likely to see the boy at the Congregation merely because Ye Luo wanted to join the Congregation himself. Yes, it was a fabrication to gain a free ride to the Congregation. He was qualified being the ace of Dankwood's last congregation anyway. Regarding the leader's ”ultimate order”, he did not care. He would love to come alone but certainly Ye Yin would never allow that.

Ye Luo must attend the Congregation, by hook or by crook. He was willing to kill in order to attend the event. He would kill himself if he did not make it.

Well, so, Ye Luo, by making an excuse of bringing his brother to have a mind-opening operation, dragged Ye Yin to the ship. Those dismissive looks from the crew members had occasionally enraged Ye Yin a few times.

...(Meanwhile)...

”Who... should we... mess... with...,” muttered the little boy, with thumb on his chin, as he skimmed through the list.

Both Yan and Huang families are too skillful to mess with, so they are a big no-no.

So... hmmmm

The little boy pondered, ”Ah...” He reached out his fleshy finger, ”He'll do,” with a smile at the beautiful sister near him.

...(Congregation ~ the day before~)...

Something happened that caught everyone's attention, even before the event commenced.

Doc Danelles, the top fighter of Risserd had apparently received an appointed challenge from a white-garbed lady at his accommodation.

Every other fighters nearby were alarmed, as they watched Danelles accepting the challenge like a man.

The outcome? He lost and he sincerely transferred his rights to this white-garbed lady.

Everyone agreed as they backed off.

The discussion started brewing among the residents, not on the strength of this lady, but on that freezing charm of hers. It took only a few days for Rui Bing to become the hottest topic for the Congregation this year.

”Rui Bing? Are all females this strong today?” muttered Huang Jiming at one corner of the hotel's lobby. Congregation is so intriguing. I have never see this in the tribe, maybe... maybe I should join too.

Somehow the thought had caught onto Huang Jiming.

He would not be joining as a martial arts practitioner, since he knew his fists well. Alchemy? Nah, he could not even differentiate a tube and a flask. He could try his luck joining as a mentalist though, since his Xi Feng tribe was the local resident of free space zone while being the few top tribes of master mentalist, although most of his descendants had moved on to piloting. He believed he could still do something with his mentalist capabilities.

I might not be able to find that fella, but at least this sounds entertaining enough.

Thought Huang Jiming with a bright smile, which somehow caught the attention of the waitress who poured too much tea in the cup.

And later in the afternoon, a rather handsome mentalist had successfully joined the show too. All females in Flying Moon City started following his news right away.

People were excited, even before the Congregation had officially commenced. The participants literally spelled a different congregation this year.

”Alright, we are going for the dining party,” reminded Liu Sheng drowsily. ”Yawn... wake me up when we hit main course.”

Rui Bing took a look at her invitation, she passed a look of confusion at the little boy. She did not move into Yan family's residence like other participants.

She just got her invitation.

”Go, just go, why won't you go?” laughed the little boy, who somehow had become manager of Rui Bing's fighting career. He seemed pretty passionate about it too. ”But remember to tag me along, Sister Bing!” he said as he reached out his fleshy arm.

Huang Jiming also had just received the invitation. Yan family the host did not reckon the sudden participation from both of them so the invitation got a bit late. Anyway Huang Jiming took a look at the invitation interestingly, he could feel his blood heating up. How could he be not excited when he would be seeing all other experts from their respective fields?

...(Meanwhile)...

”What? Wait, what? Come again? You are going? Excuuuuseee me? They invited *me*, not you. Look at the name, it says 'Ye Luo', L-U-O, there's no Y-I-N behind.” There Ye Luo was, shouting in his room, ”They did not invite you, so why are you coming? Huh? Hmm? You would like to follow me? You want to stay by my side at every single moment possible? Do I look not straight enough for you? Please, they might think you are some hobo looking for free food or something. You are still a known celeb alright? So stay royal. What? You don't care? Alright, alright, alright, here's my white flag, just come along. Just pretend you are also invited. Happy?” said Ye Luo helplessly to Ye Yin.
