Chapter 1864 (Raw 1876): Hidden Sharpness

As a result of the slight delay, Xiao Chen arrived at the Marquis’s Residence’s main hall after about seven minutes .

Several people had already gathered in the main hall .

Aside from the Soaring Dragon Marquis’s children, there were also several of the extended family . After all, they were all part of the Long Clan .

It was clear that the Long Clan flourished and had many people .

This was normal . After all, the Soaring Dragon Marquis was conferred a marquis and ruled an area . It would be strange if his clan did not flourish .

Outside the main hall, Monarch Yu’s escort scattered to the side, standing together with the Marquis’s Residence’s guards .

These guards all showed serious expressions, no less cautious just because they were in the Marquis’s Residence .

Inside the main hall, the family banquet had yet to begin .

As Monarch Yu was the son of a duke, he possessed the bloodline of the royal clan and held a noble position .

However, Monarch Yu was easygoing in his interactions with people, polite to all . He was graceful and bold, inspiring admiration .

Monarch Yu was currently speaking to a youth who bore some resemblance to Lan Luo but older . This youth should be Lan Luo’s elder brother .

The disciples of the Long Clan surrounded the two, chatting merrily .

However, Monarch Yu held the limelight . Most people focused their gazes on him .

This was especially so for many of the women there . Most of them had sparkles in their eyes, not hiding their admiration at all .

“Young Master Xiao, we have arrived,” said the maidservant leading the way . Then, she performed a cute curtsey .

Before that maidservant left, she gave Monarch Yu an abashed look .

The little monk leaned over Xiao Chen’s shoulder, looking around curiously and appearing extremely cute .

One adult and one baby walked into the main hall .

The two immediately attracted countless gazes . Several people showed curious expressions on their faces .

This was the Long Clan’s family banquet . Why was there an outsider aside from Monarch Yu?

“You are?”

The youth who was speaking to Monarch Yu asked from a distance, not getting up .

[TL Note: Culturally, this is a very rude action . The polite way would be to get up, walk over, greet each other first . It is just like someone remaining seated while shaking hands with someone who is standing, perhaps worse, as there was not even a greeting . ]

“Whoosh!”

Immediately, many gazes focused on Xiao Chen . The noisy hall fell silent .

“First Brother, he is Xiao Chen . He is the person that I told you about . Father specially invited him over . ”

Before Xiao Chen replied, Lan Luo stood up and brought him over while introducing him .

“You! You actually dare to step into the Marquis’s Residence?! Long Clan guards! Take him down!”

A familiar figure appeared among the Long Clan disciples . This person shouted as he pointed at Xiao Chen, not hiding any of his murderous intent on his face .

Long Bo?

Xiao Chen thought for a while and recalled this person . This was the viscount that sent people to assassinate him in the Soaring Dragon Great Realm .

This person seemed to be Lan Luo’s seventh brother . Xiao Chen recalled that he had dealt him a killing blow .

However, Xiao Chen did not find it strange . At that time, he had left in a rush and had not finished him off .

With all the experts in the Cluster Lord’s Residence, it was not strange that they managed to rescue Long Bo .

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” A group of guards appeared from outside and surrounded Xiao Chen without a word .

However, these guards did not attack . They only looked at the youth beside Monarch Yu .

Clearly, Lan Luo’s first brother held more authority here .

“You may withdraw . There’s nothing going on . ”

Lan Luo’s first brother waved his hand and dismissed the guards . Then, he said indifferently, “Seventh Younger Brother, Young Master Xiao is an honored guest that Lord Father specially invited . Pay attention to your behavior . Otherwise, I don’t mind chasing you out . ”

Long Bo appeared rather sullen . His enemy was right before him, but Xiao Chen was his father’s honored guest .

Despite being in his own home, he actually could not do anything to Xiao Chen to take him down .

“Don’t get arrogant yet . Sooner or later, I will deal with you . ”

After that, Long Bo flung out his hand and left angrily .

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “I also do not mind killing you again . ”

The moment Xiao Chen said that, there was an uproar . Xiao Chen’s words shocked all the Long Clan disciples . Aside from shock, all of them now looked at Xiao Chen with hostility . Despite being in the Marquis’s Residence, he actually said something like that before the Long Clan’s people . This was simply mocking them .

Even Lan Luo’s first brother appeared to feel somewhat awkward, stunned for a while .

“It looks like I am not welcomed here . Goodbye . ”

Xiao Chen had always been a decisive person . Seeing the expressions of the others, he was no longer willing to remain .

Had Xiao Chen known that Long Bo would be here, he would have rejected the invitation from the start .

However, there were some people unwilling to let Xiao Chen leave .

“Young Master Xiao, please wait . Since you have received the protection of the Marquis’s Residence, it will be too disrespectful to the Lord Marquis if you leave . The family banquet of the Marquis’s Residence rarely invites outsiders . Young Master Xiao, do reconsider,” Monarch Yu said slowly as he poured himself a cup of tea .

This immediately caused another uproar among the many Long Clan disciples . It turned out that the Marquis’s Residence was even protecting him . They felt that Xiao Chen was simply too condescending and unreasonable .

With these simple words, Monarch Yu instantly isolated Xiao Chen .

Xiao Chen thought for a while . If he left the family banquet like that, it was indeed too disrespectful to the Marquis, whom he had yet to meet .

This would also put Lan Luo in a spot .

So, Xiao Chen turned around, found a corner, and sat down beside Lan Luo .

When Xiao Chen returned and took a seat, Lan Luo clearly released her bated breath .

Xiao Chen, sorry for putting you on the spot . Lan Luo sent a voice projection . She had done this out of kind intentions . Unexpectedly, things turned out like that .

It’s fine . I was the one who did not manage it properly .

There was indeed no need to get angry with someone like Long Bo . Xiao Chen already let it go .

“Haha! Everyone is here . ”

Just at this moment, a middle-aged man with white hair at his temples and wearing armor walked in with enormous strides .

“Father . ”

“Third Uncle!”

“Lord Marquis!”

Everyone at the table stood up and greeted the person who came . Needless to say, this person was the overlord of the Soaring Dragon Marquisate, the Soaring Dragon Marquis .

However, this person looked very ordinary . He only gave off the stern air of a large general .

There did not seem to be anything special about him, which felt rather strange .

“I have been busy with military affairs and rarely eat with everyone . Today, I have invited two honored guests to the family banquet . Come, let me offer the both of you a toast first . ”

The Soaring Dragon Marquis was rather straightforward . He stood up to offer Xiao Chen and Monarch Yu a toast after he indicated for everyone to sit down .

Xiao Chen and Monarch Yu did not dare delay . They stood up at the same time and drank all the wine in their cups in one go .

“Many thanks for Lord Marquis’s hospitality . ”

The two took their seats once more and put down the wine cups .

The family banquet formally started . It was not really a lavish meal, but there were many fine dishes served .

The Soaring Dragon Marquis also did not pay any particular attention to Xiao Chen or Monarch Yu .

When the Soaring Dragon Marquis spoke, it was mostly about family matters and other minor things .

“Your father does not seem arrogant at all,” Xiao Chen said to Lan Luo, who was beside him .

However, Lan Luo said helplessly, “As far as I know, this is how he has always been, neither hot nor cold about anything . No one can ever tell what he really thinks in his heart . Even I can’t tell . ”

This was one such example . The Soaring Dragon Marquis had clearly called Xiao Chen over . However, he did not speak to Xiao Chen at all .

This made Lan Luo disappointed and slightly frustrated .

“I heard that Monarch Yu wants to ask you to join the Divine Sword Pavilion with him . ”

Xiao Chen skipped past that topic and raised another .

A bright light flashed in Lan Luo’s eyes as she said, “Why? Are you interested? Let’s go together . The Divine Sword Pavilion is one of the few Rank 7 sects of the Yanwu Dynasty . Many of their disciples are powerful demonic geniuses that can rank among the top . ”

Xiao Chen smiled and retorted, “I am a bladesman . How can I go to the Divine Sword Pavilion?”

“That’s true . I nearly forgot about that . ” Lan Luo frowned, appearing vexed . Then, she said, “In that case, I’m not going, either . ”

On the other side, when Monarch Yu saw Xiao Chen chatting intimately with Lan Luo, an indiscernible cold light flashed in his eyes .

Soon, someone suddenly stood up and offered Xiao Chen a toast . “Young Master Xiao, you have traveled a long way . I, Long Yun, offer you a toast . ”

Since someone offered Xiao Chen a toast, he had to reciprocate .

After the cup of wine, Long Yun asked, “Young Master Xiao and Monarch Yu both received invitations from Third Uncle . I believe you must be from a famous sect, right?”

Xiao Chen countered indifferently, “I’m not . Just an ordinary independent cultivator . However, I am new to the Central Great Realm . ”

These words caused another uproar . This was actually a sectless, factionless, independent cultivator .

Furthermore, this was someone new to the Central Great Realm . To the Long Clan members, such people were country bumpkins .

When the others thought about the fact that they ate together with someone of such status, they could not help showing strange expressions .

Monarch Yu revealed a surprised expression . “Unexpectedly, one of the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo, which shook up the entire city last night, is actually new to the Central Great Realm . ”

Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo!

Monarch Yu’s carefree words successfully caused these Long Clan disciples to change their expressions again .

This fellow did not say much . However, his words all had a hidden sharpness to them, trying to isolate Xiao Chen .

When Xiao Chen thought about it, he found it funny . This so-called monarch was someone petty . He was merely so-so .
