Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Die Feiyu was stunned and then she looked away. She didn't gratify Lu Li's words with an answer because it would be beneath her dignity.
Ji Mengtian frowned, feeling displeased. She had seen too many "playing hard-to-get". Everyone here were gentlemen and ladies. She was not satisfied that Lu Li was begin so rude and inelegant.
Ye Luo said nothing but he kept his grin to himself. As today's host, Ye Rong had to say something. He sent Lu Li a warning look and said, "Gu Fengliu, drink as you wish. You think you are the only one that can talk?"
Ye Rong was being harsh but it was understandable. What would Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu think if the host didn't say anything when they were violated?
Many young masters despised Lu Li. Was he regarding this place as a brothel, to talk so rudely at such a refined party?
Lu Li shrugged, not caring a nut. He sat down and went back to drinking. Nobody was paying attention to him now after he acted like an annoying rogue. Instead, many loathed him.
This was what he wanted to achieve. He, usually, would not speak so rudely or disgustingly. But he had to act like a different person so that Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu would not find out his real identity.
Ye Rong apologized and Ye Luo spoke to break the ice. Ji Mengtian stopped frowning and went to a vacant seat with Die Feiyu.
All those that could come to the party were the more outstanding young masters and young ladies of their respective families. They were quite the talkers and skilled in communication. Soon, the moon in the hall made a turn for the better. They talked about world matters in a jovial mood.
Lu Li sat, keeping a low profile. He took no heed to the unkind glances. But it did make him seem aloof and proud, a unique bearing.
Ji Mengtian never looked at Lu Li again. To her, he was a vulgar boor and she, with her status, would not pay attention to this kind of man.
Lu Li felt pleased. He ignored the looks from the young masters and young ladies who sat nearby. After a while, Die Feiyu looked at Lu Li again, acting as if nothing was on her mind. But she looked away soon. Yet somehow, Lu Li felt unsettled.
The concern of his was not to be hunted down after his identity was revealed. But if Ji Mengtian and the others found out who he was, there could be trouble when he tried to bid for the Bodhi Fruit. He would be reaching for the moon if he wanted to buy the Bodhi Fruit when Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and Lu Suan collided together.
When people were gathered together, they must find something to talk about or else it could be embarrassing. One young master found a topic and asked if Ji Mengtian and Ye Luo wanted to bid on the Dragon Breath Fruit.
As a treasured fruit, Dragon Breath Fruit could elevate the speed of learning Profound Meaning by 50%. To Noble Lord Realm and Human Sovereign Realm and even the Earth Immortal Realm warriors were tempted to acquire this Fruit. Toward the later stages, the major focus of cultivation was the study of Profound Meaning.
Ye Luo shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't want to bid on the Dragon Breath Fruit. I think I prefer to learn Profound Meanings in a natural way and just go with the flow. I don't think it's good to force the study of Profound Meaning relying on treasures. It may affect future improvements."
"Oh?"
Ye Luo's words was interesting. There really was someone that didn't cherish this kind of fruit? However, someone did think Ye Luo's words made sense.
Ji Mengtian was deep in her thoughts and didn't say anything. Seeing that the mood was good,Ye Rong began to extend the topic, inviting others to give enlightening remarks.
By speaking freely, the young masters and young ladies would have a chance to show their minds and they could get to know each other better.
Nobody would miss out on a chance like this. With the presence of four young masters and young ladies from distinguished families, the scale of the party was enhanced. Many intended to leave a good impression on Ye Luo, Ye Yu, Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu, many spoke vigorously with fervor and assurance.
There were two views. Some deemed treasured materials useful, beneficial to those who took them and could facilitate the progress in realms.
While others held similar thoughts with Ye Luo. It was possible that they were kissing up to Ye Luo. Those warriors believed that taking treasured materials could only temporarily help to elevate the realm but it wouldn't influence long-term development.
Someone of the hundreds of young masters and young ladies were worthless fellows. They were deliberately mystifying in their words and indulged in exaggerations but they never got to the point. That being said, they were smug. But others could cite the classics and made excellent points.
Lu Li drank casually and listened with interest. Of course, he would not chime in and Gu Min wouldn't court a rebuff by joining in the discussion. He would rather want the party to end early.
Ji Mengtian was bored after a while. She winked at Die Feiyu, signaling that it was time to go.
Instead of looking at Ji Mengtian, Die Feiyu turned to a corner, her eyes misty. Ji Mengtian looked over as well. Lu Li was drinking wine in a crude way. She frowned. Was Die Feiyu really charmed by this rude boor?
Ji Mengtian cleared her throat. Die Feiyu was startled, her cheeks rosy. Sensing the looks from Ye Yu, Ye Luo and others, she felt a bit embarrassed. She had an idea and said, "Young Master Gu Fengliu, what do you…think about this?"
Swish, swish, swish~
Die Feiyu's voice was gentle but as soon as she began to talk, nobody else did so her voice spread across the entire hall. Many turned their looks to Lu Li.
"D*mn!"
Lu Li hid his anger. Die Feiyu really had sharp senses. Was she already having doubts of his identity or wanting to judge his identity by talking to him?
Seeing that so many people looking at him, Lu Li knew he could not get out of this. He stood up, slouching, and then wiped his mouth again. His rude behaviors made many young ladies feel disgusted. Many of them looked away.
"I think…"
Lu Li faked his voice, making it sonorous and rough. His eyes were brimming with lust and desire to Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu. Both of them felt as if…Lu Li could see through their clothes and his looks were invasive and impolite.
He said with a grin after some looks and said, "I think Profound Meanings are like a f*cking…beauty, rare beauty. If you want to have her as your own, you must conquer her completely, from her mind to her body."
"If you use treasures to learn Profound Meanings, it's like you have a beauty's body by using aphrodisiac. You can have her body, but not her heart. Now what is the point of that? What is the point of learning a Profound Meaning?"
"Profound Meanings are like beauties and they are like mustangs. You cannot ride them with force. You must communicate with them with your heart so that she is willing to let you ride her and like you riding her. Now, that is fun, right? Ha, ha, I am a crude man and I am rambling. Don't mind me…"
Lu Li spoke his piece. He looked around, only to see all the young masters were stunned, even Ye Luo.
While all the young ladies were blushing in shame and anger. Many of them were evening looking at Lu Li with killing intent, eager to tear him into pieces…
All the young masters and young ladies that could come to this luncheon were from house of prestige. From young, they had received strict education. They minded their looks and their words. None of them would say something so rude in public.
Lu Li compared Profound Meanings to women and then them to mustangs. He spoke of carnal desire and aphrodisiac, conquering, riding, willingness, and liking to ride…
How awkward it was for the young ladies from distinguished families?
