Chapter 110: Young Lady

The middle‑aged man in the black tuxedo shook his head, his tone tinged with a hint of indifference: "Taking on a disciple isn't impossible, but if he's willing to join our plan, that would be a good choice."

The middle‑aged man in the dark‑gray tuxedo nodded, his gaze returning to Robin: "However, the Wei Er Ke family's influence in the West is considerable; trying to win him over may not be that easy."

The man in the black tuxedo let out a cold laugh, his tone carrying a chill: "The Wei Er Ke family? Just a newly risen noble house. As long as we're willing, we can make them bow and submit at any time."

The dark‑gray‑tuxedoed middle‑aged man said nothing more, simply staring quietly at Robin below, a flash of complex expression passing through his eyes.

Meanwhile, Robin had no idea that he was already being watched by two Legendary Knights.

Robin stood in a corner of the banquet hall, a glass of red wine in his hand, his gaze calmly scanning everyone present.

His thoughts were still savoring the recent duel and the gazes of those two Legendary Knights.

Being a Legendary Knight himself, he naturally noticed that he had already attracted some people's attention, which was part of his plan.

Just then, a faint scent of perfume drifted in; Robin turned his head slightly and saw a stunning young lady walking toward him.

She wore a deep‑purple long dress, its hem embroidered with golden patterns, appearing noble and elegant.

A hint of playfulness glimmered in her eyes, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly to reveal a charming smile.

"What a young little brother!" the young lady's voice carried a teasing tone, full of flirtatious meaning.

Robin gave a faint smile, his gaze steady as he looked at her: "Madam, are you talking about me?"

The young lady chuckled lightly, her tone laced with mockery: "Of course, it's you; who else here is younger than you?"

Robin nodded, his tone courteous: "You flatter me, madam. I'm just an ordinary young man, not worthy of your attention."

A flash of surprise crossed the young lady's eyes, as if she hadn't expected Robin to be so composed. She stepped forward, gently swaying the wine glass in her hand, her tone carrying a hint of meaning: "Ordinary young man? Defeating Tuoleisi at the Harvest Festival banquet is far from ordinary."

Robin smiled, his tone modest: "That was just luck; you needn't worry about it, madam."

The young lady's gaze lingered on Robin for a moment, then she whispered: "Ai Lun Wei Er Ke Wo Er Te, heir of the Wei Er Ke family. Your name has been spreading like wildfire in the western noble circles lately."

A hint of wariness flickered in Robin's eyes, yet his face remained calm: "You flatter me, madam. I merely did what I was supposed to do."

The young lady smiled, her tone tinged with mystery: "Ai Lun, no need to be so modest. Everyone sees your strength and potential. However, the waters of the western noble circles run deep; you'd better be careful."

Robin nodded, his tone earnest: "Thank you for the warning, madam. I'll be careful."

A trace of satisfaction flashed in the young lady's eyes; she took a delicate sip of red wine, then whispered: "Ai Lun, if there's a chance, we could talk more. I'm… very interested in you."

Robin gave a slight smile, his tone courteous: "You're being kind, madam. If the opportunity arises, I'd be glad to converse with you more deeply."

The young lady nodded, then turned and walked away.

Robin's gaze remained fixed on the stunning young lady's retreating figure, a faint unease stirring in his heart.

His perception far exceeded that of ordinary people, especially after breaking through the Legendary Knight realm, making him extremely sensitive to surrounding auras and energy fluctuations.

Yet he could not sense any power from that young lady at all, which sparked a strong sense of alertness.

"This woman… is definitely not simple," Robin muttered softly, his brows slightly furrowed.

He noted that when the young lady moved into a group of noblewomen, the ladies, though gathering around her, said nothing, as if merely providing cover.

This abnormal behavior convinced Robin even more that the young lady's identity was far from ordinary.

At the same time, the young lady stood among the noblewomen, her face still bearing that enchanting smile, but a sickly glint flashed in her eyes. She lightly traced the rim of her wine glass with her fingers, murmuring: "A Legendary Knight so young… truly makes the heart race."

Her voice was extremely low, barely audible beyond herself, yet her tone brimmed with frenzy and desire: "I want to pin him down, ravage him… make him my plaything."

The surrounding noblewomen seemed oblivious to her whisper, maintaining their graceful poise as if everything were normal.

Robin, however, faintly sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the young lady, causing him to involuntarily grip his wine glass tighter.

"Who on earth is this woman?" Robin thought inwardly, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

He must quickly uncover the young lady's identity and purpose, or he'll eventually be drawn into her plot; however, rash action would only alert the enemy.

At that moment, Viscount Wei Er Ke approached, patting Robin's shoulder, his tone concerned: "Ai Lun, what's wrong? You don't look well."

Robin quickly readjusted his expression, flashing a relaxed smile: "It's nothing, father. I'm just a bit tired."

Viscount Wei Er Ke nodded, his tone understanding: "Banquets are indeed exhausting, especially for a young man like you. Yet remember, this banquet is our Wei Er Ke family's chance to showcase our strength; you should seize it."

Robin nodded, his tone earnest: "I understand, father. I'll be careful."

Viscount Wei Er Ke smiled, then whispered: "By the way, that young lady earlier… did you notice her?"

A flash of caution crossed Robin's eyes as he asked softly: "Father, do you know her?"

Viscount Wei Er Ke shook his head, his tone tinged with doubt: "No, I don't know her. However, her background is clearly not simple. You should be careful and not engage with her lightly."

Robin nodded, silently warning himself.

Viscount Wei Er Ke's intuition has always been sharp; since he also sensed something amiss about the young lady, it confirms her identity is indeed extraordinary.

Inside the banquet hall, the previously noisy atmosphere fell silent in an instant. Everyone's gaze converged on the second‑floor balcony, where a white‑haired elder—Duke Du Lu Men—stood.

Though his figure was slightly stooped, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, scanning everyone below.

"Good evening, everyone!" Duke Du Lu Men's voice resonated through magical transmission across the banquet hall, his tone bearing undeniable authority: "I'll keep it brief. In recent years, the Wizard Council's power has grown, its tendrils already reaching our western provinces. If we do not act soon, we will inevitably be completely controlled by them."
