Chapter 207: We Sit at the Adults' Table (Four Thousand)

After the announcement sounded, a knocking at the door followed.

Huo Yuhao raised his brow slightly, waking from meditation, rose and walked to the doorway, opening the door.

Only to see Gu Yue Na standing gracefully outside, hands clasped behind her back, looking mysterious.

Huo Yuhao wore an amused expression, "You guessed this scene would happen long ago, so you prepared clothes for me?"

Gu Yue Na was somewhat surprised, then took out a set of clothes from her storage ring, smiling and nodding, "Mm, because of the last Star Luo Delegation invitation, I guessed there would definitely be a banquet after boarding the ship, so I prepared them for you in advance."

Last time when Dai Yun'er invited them to the banquet, Gu Yue Na had already thought this day would come.

Huo Yuhao took the clothes into his hands, unfolded them to look, and found it was a set of exquisitely tailored black formal wear. Dark silver patterns were embroidered at the collar and cuffs, understated yet luxurious.

A trace of softness flashed in his eyes, he lightly nodded, "Alright, wait for me to change, and we'll go together."

Gu Yue Na had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth: "Then I'll go change clothes too, see you in a bit."

After speaking she walked toward the next room with light steps, her silver hair swaying gently behind her.

Huo Yuhao saw this and closed the room door, his fingers brushing over the exquisite dark patterns on the formal wear. The fabric of this formal wear was extremely exquisite, soft and delicate to the touch, as if a light touch could feel the craftsmanship and skill contained within.

The overall design of the formal wear was simple yet elegant, the cut smooth and natural, perfectly conforming to the body's curves, neither too tight nor too loose, just right in showing the wearer's temperament.

"On these details, her thoughts are much more meticulous than mine……"

……

Those who heard the announcement were not only Huo Yuhao; others heard it too.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yuan En Yehui secretly nodded, opened the cabin door and walked into the corridor. She was still dressed in male attire, wearing red long pants and a black shirt; although that male appearance was not handsome, Yuan En Yehui was tall and slender, and under the contrast of the black shirt and red pants, she showed a bit more heroic spirit.

Speaking of which, not long after Yuan En Yehui walked out of the room, the cabin door opposite opened at the same time, and Xu Xiaoyan walked out from inside.

Xu Xiaoyan wore a white knee-length dress today, an off-shoulder short formal dress design paired with a pleated skirt, the skirt adorned with scattered golden star decorations, simple yet exquisite.

The two ran into each other, both stunned.

Looking at Yuan En Yehui's attire, Xu Xiaoyan clicked her tongue in wonder, "Yuan En, if I didn't know you were a girl, I might be tempted."

"Xiao Yan, you're also very pretty today." Yuan En Yehui smiled.

Xu Xiaoyan hehe laughed, "Thank you."

"Huh? Who called me?"

Xie Xie walked out from the room, looking at them with a confused face.

At this time he had also changed into a set of attire, wearing a crisp black suit, a clean white shirt inside, and a black bow tie, completely the look of the most classic formal wear. Coupled with his decent looks, he had quite a feeling of being a peerless gentleman.

But looking at the confused expression on his face, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but lightly sigh.

Don't know why, Xie Xie's looks weren't bad, but always felt…… couldn't be handsome.

Vaguely like a comedic character……

Thinking this, Xu Xiaoyan said expressionlessly, "We didn't call you, I was just thanking Senior Sister Yuan En."

Xie Xie: "……"

Another day of wanting to change his name.

While Xie Xie was crying in his heart, Tang Wu Lin, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi also walked out from the rooms on the side.

"Wu Lin, the clothes on you……" Xu Xiaoyan's gaze fell on Tang Wu Lin, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of amazement.

Tang Wu Lin at this time wore a set of dark blue fitted formal wear, with dark gold patterns embroidered at the collar, faintly visible under the lights. His figure was already upright, and under the setting of this formal wear, he looked even more heroic and spirited.

Tang Wu Lin also liked the clothes on him very much; just as he thought Xu Xiaoyan would say words of praise, the other party suddenly changed her tone, "It wasn't you who chose them, right?"

"……How did you guess?" Tang Wu Lin scratched his head.

"Need to say? Because Wu Lin, you usually don't pay attention to these things."

Xie Xie curiously said, "Quickly say, who chose these clothes for you? A girl, right?"

Tang Wu Lin originally didn't want to answer, but seeing everyone showing interested expressions, after thinking for a moment, he still said in a low voice, "It was Senior Sister Ou Yang who gave them to me."

"Senior Sister Ou Yang?"

Xie Xie and the others were first confused, then Xie Xie thought of something, suddenly staring wide-eyed, "Damn, you've hit on Senior Sister Ou Yang Zixin? When did this happen?"

"What are you talking about?!" Tang Wu Lin's face turned red, "Just an ordinary friend relationship; she knew I was going to Star Luo and gave me some suggestions, that's all."

Seeing everyone show an "I understand" expression upon hearing this, Tang Wu Lin knew it would only get darker the more he explained; finally he rolled his eyes, turned around, and walked toward the banquet venue.

Xie Xie saw this, making a ruckus as he followed.

"Quickly tell me, when did you get together with her?"

"I said, just ordinary friends!"

……

The banquet hall was on the second deck of the Star Luo No.

Crystal chandeliers cast brilliant light halos on the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime. Between the gilded relief columns, members of the delegation in splendid attire entered one after another; silk and jewels flowed with dazzling radiance under the lights.

The reception, not yet officially begun, was already bustling with voices; the crisp sounds of clinking cups and the interweaving of greetings and laughter echoed in the spacious hall that could accommodate a thousand people.

When Xie Xie and the others arrived, the hall had already gradually gathered many guests. As delegation members representing the two continents, they were undoubtedly elites in their respective fields, with varied backgrounds and diverse identities. As for age, these young students of theirs were undoubtedly the youngest batch among them.

However, this also caused their circle to be basically limited to peers. After all, most of the older delegation representatives had their own social circles; even if interested in them, they wouldn't rashly come over to strike up a conversation.

On the contrary, the students of both sides would be more at ease when interacting.

Xie Xie looked around, lowering his voice:

"Hey, look over there; that Le Zhengyu seems very good at this kind of scene." Yuan En Yehui said lightly: "After all, he's the heir of the Holy Angel Clan; he's probably used to such occasions since childhood, right?"

Xu Xiaoyan hummed, "What's there to see about a playboy."

At this moment, Le Zhengyu was chatting and laughing with several female students from Star Luo; every gesture showed elegance, with no sense of unfamiliarity. This caused a group of male students from Star Luo to glare at him angrily.

But only Le Zhengyu knew how innocent he was.

These Star Luo maidens who had gathered around were not coming for him.

"In other words, has that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power already reached the Half-step Spiritual Domain Realm, and could he advance to the Spiritual Domain Realm at any time?" A female student from Star Luo sighed, "As expected of the next Spirit Pagoda Tower Master."

Le Zhengyu's mouth twitched slightly, the red wine glass in his hand gently swaying. This was already the seventh Star Luo student tonight who had used talking to him as an excuse, actually probing for news about Huo Yuhao.

"Indeed."

He maintained an elegant smile, but couldn't help complaining in his heart: Why don't you just go find Huo Yuhao directly! What's the point of asking around me? Doesn't this young master have any face?

Another girl with a high ponytail eagerly asked: "Is he really in that kind of relationship with that Gu Yue Na? I feel like they're always inseparable..."

Although Le Zhengyu wasn't bad, they were still more interested in Huo Yuhao.

He was the future Spirit Pagoda Tower Master; setting aside appearance, just thinking about the value of soul spirits and the strength the other party possessed, the other boys present were lacking by more than a bit.

If possible, they naturally hoped something would happen with him.

"Well..."

Le Zhengyu caught sight of two figures not far away with the corner of his eye, a flash of amazement in his eyes, then sighed: "Seems I don't need to answer further?"

A beam of silver light struck the entrance, and everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn over.

Gu Yue Na took Huo Yuhao's arm and walked in slowly; the entire hall fell silent in an instant.

She wore only a simple silver long dress today, without any extra decoration. But it was precisely this simplicity that made her whole person seem like moonlight condensed, further highlighting her own beauty. Silver hair fell, purple eyes flowed, every step seemed to tread on everyone's heartbeat.

Huo Yuhao wore a finely tailored black suit, making his figure slender and upright; dark silver patterns flickered faintly under the lights, adding a noble air to him, making him appear even more outstanding and handsome.

Both possessed beauty and temperament; before them, any ornate words seemed pale. They needed not deliberately show anything; just standing there, they already interpreted what was meant by a match made in heaven.

The gaze of the entire banquet hall focused on this pair of beauties. After a brief silence, exclamations and conversation rose and fell.

At this moment, everyone understood one thing: the protagonist of tonight's banquet had appeared.

Dai Yun'er stood on the circular stage of the banquet hall, looking at the two in a daze, for some reason a sense of defeat rose from the bottom of her heart.

These two seemed able to shatter everyone's confidence. Their existence was like a mirror, reflecting the ordinariness and inadequacy of others...

The banquet host standing on the stage, Sima Lanxiao, watched this side, slightly frowning; after thinking, he spoke using a Soul Guidance Amplifier:

"Dear guests, welcome to tonight's reception. I am Sima Lanxiao, Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs from the Star Luo Empire of the Star Luo Continent, and it is a great honor to gather with elites from all circles of the Douluo Continent. Tonight, let us drink freely and enjoy a wonderful time together."

"During the dinner, we will also hold several fun little games to select the best-dressed man and woman of the full venue, the most handsome man and the most beautiful woman, and the most elegant dance partner pair. Winners will receive special prizes carefully prepared by our Star Luo Continent."

"However, the selection results for the most handsome man and the most beautiful woman seem to have already come out. What do you all think?"

As soon as Sima Lanxiao's voice fell, warm applause broke out in the banquet hall.

Not to mention whether anyone present could surpass these two; even if someone could individually rival this pair of young man and woman, when they stood side by side, their complementary temperament and appearance made it difficult for anyone to compete with them.

This selection result... was beyond dispute.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had become lively because of Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na, Sima Lanxiao exchanged a few pleasantries with the two, then took this opportunity to officially announce the start of the banquet.

The light left Huo Yuhao and the two, the music suddenly intensified, and the dancers began to spin elegantly on the dance floor. At the same time, exquisite dishes were served one after another.

Xu Xiaoyan finally found an opportunity to walk to Gu Yue Na's side and affectionately moved closer.

"Sister Na, you're so pretty today!"

Gu Yue Na: "Xiao Yan, you're also very pretty."

Xie Xie and the others also walked over, "Tsk tsk tsk, are you trying to blind the full venue?"

"It's Sister Na who is too dazzling."

Huo Yuhao smiled, lowered his head and whispered something in Gu Yue Na's ear. Gu Yue Na immediately raised the corners of her lips; that instant's smile was like an ice river thawing, causing those paying attention to this side to be dazed.

"Alright, you all enjoy the banquet slowly; we're going to the adults' table."

Gu Yue Na waved her hand and walked with Huo Yuhao toward a certain direction.

"???"

Xie Xie and Tang Wu Lin looked at each other.

Because the banquet was being held, most of the tables and chairs here had been moved away, and the entire venue seemed very spacious. Only some high tables were placed in the hall, with exquisite snacks and drinks set on them for everyone to enjoy.

The adults' table? What does that mean?

On the other side, Dai Yun'er regained her senses and was about to go greet Huo Yuhao and the others politely, but stopped after seeing the direction they were heading; some people paying attention to their movements also changed expression slightly.

Near the center of the stage, there was a high table, with only five people beside it; within several meters there was no one else. Thus, although this was the center of the stage, it looked like a corner no one cared about.

But everyone understood that it was not that they didn't care; it was precisely because they cared too much about these five people that they dared not approach, for fear of disturbing their enjoyment of the banquet.

Those five people were none other than the Federal Secretary-General, the Soul-Suppressing Douluo, the Duo Qing Douluo, and two Federal Councilors.

This was the place to receive high-ranking officials of the Douluo Federation; among them was even a Limit Powerhouse like the Duo Qing Douluo. Not to mention Dai Yun'er, even if Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs Sima Lanxiao was unwilling to give them face, he likewise could not join them.

But Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na, these two juniors, just walked straight to their side and naturally merged into this group.

This seemed inconceivable to outsiders, but to the Duo Qing Douluo, it was a matter of course.

Joke: among the five people were two Super Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda, one Dark Department Acting Director who seemed to have old ties with Huo Yuhao and the others, and one Federal Secretary-General who wanted to maintain good relations with the Spirit Pagoda—how could they not be harmonious?

Moreover, the identities of Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na were not ordinary.

Disciples of two Spirit Pagoda Vice Tower Masters, the former being the next Spirit Pagoda Tower Master... both the Soul-Suppressing Douluo and the Dark Phoenix Douluo would give him face.

Sitting at their table, no one would have an opinion, including himself.
