Chapter 820: Blue‑Pupil Enchanting Technique

The blue‑clad woman entered as if she carried an aura, drawing everyone's gaze.

Her eyes swept over the whole room, but the other men dared not meet her gaze.

The woman's eyes were, unbelievably, blue!

"Don't look at her eyes!" Wei Pangzi warned Ye Liuyun.

But it was already too late; Ye Liuyun's gaze met hers, and those blue eyes seemed to try to pull him in.

For a moment, Ye Liuyun felt the woman was as beautiful as a celestial descending, standing there with her silk robe lightly undone, smiling and beckoning him.

He was about to rise and approach when the Ten Thousand Gods Command in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly flared, awakening him.

"Illusion!"

Cold sweat broke out on Ye Liuyun's back, and he dared not look at those blue eyes again.

"Huh?" the woman said, a light "huh" as Ye Liuyun's expression returned to normal.

Wei Pangzi let out a "huh" when he saw Ye Liuyun instantly regain clarity.

"You're okay?" he asked Ye Liuyun curiously.

"What a powerful illusion. How could it activate so fast, almost instantaneously trapping me!" Ye Liuyun asked Wei Pangzi, puzzled.

"She is Su Manning, born with a blue pupil and a bewitching power. Just meeting her gaze will immediately ensnare you!" Wei Pangzi explained.

"There's such a pupil technique?" Ye Liuyun was surprised.

"You can resist her pupil attack because your Golden Pupil is also special, right?" Wei Pangzi asked, looking at Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil.

Hearing that, Ye Liuyun wanted to test his Golden Pupil to see if it could resist the woman's blue pupil, so he looked at Su Manning again.

Su Manning, also curious about Ye Liuyun, sensed with her Divine Sense that he looked back, and she again employed the pupil technique, this time strengthening the attack toward him.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil, which has a penetrating effect allowing him to see through falsehoods, meant that even though Su Manning intensified the attack, he was not ensnared.

"As expected, my Golden Pupil is immune to her blue pupil," Ye Liuyun said after testing, and he immediately withdrew his gaze, no longer provoking Su Manning.

However, his action sparked Su Manning's curiosity, and she walked straight toward him.

"Damn, why did you summon her!"

Seeing Su Manning approach, Wei Pangzi was frightened and rose to leave.

"Young Master Wei, won't you introduce this new friend to me?" Su Manning called him back.

Su Manning's blue pupil isn't the only source of her enchantment; even her voice is highly seductive.

Wei Pangzi heard that, and the fat on his body quivered. He dared not step away any further, standing dumbfounded.

The voice sounded a bit incoherent: "I'm not familiar… just met…".

"Ye Liuyun!" Ye Liuyun noticed Wei Pangzi channeling all his Soul power to resist Su Manning's enchantment, and he took the initiative to introduce himself.

"I, Su Manning, have met Young Master Ye. May I sit at the same table as Young Master Ye?"

Su Manning stepped closer, and her alluring voice rang out again.

Within Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, the Ten Thousand Gods Command flared again.

"Miss Su, no need to be formal. Of course I welcome you. But your charm is so great, I'm afraid I can't bear it!"

Ye Liuyun said politely, hinting that Su Manning should withdraw her enchantment.

Seeing her enchantment fail, Su Manning made no further attempts and slowly sat beside Ye Liuyun.

"Brother Wei, you sit down and chat with us too!" Ye Liuyun invited Wei Pangzi to sit.

"You keep talking, I'll go fetch some wine!" he said, then ran back to his seat, panting heavily.

He had just barely fended off Su Manning's enchantment attack, which seemed very taxing.

Su Manning, curious about Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil, asked him directly.

"Young Master Ye, what does your Golden Pupil do, that it can resist illusion?"

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil activated, and he wasn't afraid to meet her gaze; he looked straight into her eyes and said, "My Golden Pupil can see through, discerning falsehoods."

"No wonder!" Su Manning was startled, then laughed softly, "Then Young Master Ye can see through me at a glance?"

"Miss Su, you should restrain yourself, otherwise we truly won't be able to continue this conversation."

Ye Liuyun spoke to remind Su Manning. As Su Manning had just spoken, the Ten Thousand Gods Command flashed again. Clearly, she had launched another enchantment ambush on Ye Liuyun.

Su Manning was stunned; she hadn't expected her freshly cast enchantment to be spotted by Ye Liuyun.

"Young Master Ye, you are truly impressive!" she said unembarrassed, continuing the casual chat: "Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I'm not from here; I just arrived at Eagle Beak Island," Ye Liuyun replied directly.

"So Young Master Ye comes from the Zhongyang Dalu? I wonder which Sect you belong to?" she guessed, believing that with his abilities he must be from a major Sect on the Zhongyang Dalu.

Although Ye Liuyun's cultivation realm isn't high, his Golden Pupil and ability to resist her enchantment show his Soul power is strong.

Such a talent is usually a disciple of a major Sect.

So she dared not try the enchantment ambush again on Ye Liuyun.

"It's none of those. Just a remote small Sect. I'm here for the recruitment selection," Ye Liuyun said honestly, though he doubted she'd believe it.

As expected, Su Manning didn't believe him, assuming he didn't want to reveal his identity.

"Young Master Ye, you truly are low‑key! Since you don't wish to say, I won't press further!"

Ye Liuyun could only smile helplessly.

"Young Master Ye, are you here today to serve as the Princess's personal guard?" Su Manning continued the casual chat.

"No. I only learned from Brother Wei just now that this banquet is to recruit guards for the Princess; I didn't know before."

While speaking, Ye Liuyun fetched a goblet and poured a drink for Su Manning.

"So Young Master Ye admires the Princess and came specifically to celebrate her birthday? I truly envy the Princess, receiving so many people's favor!" Su Manning began probing Ye Liuyun's motives.

"Miss Su, that's a misunderstanding. I'm not close with the Princess; I just came to see the local talents."

Ye Liuyun actually disliked such roundabout talk, feeling chatting with Su Manning was less comfortable than with Wei Pangzi.

But Su Manning didn't leave, and Wei Pangzi didn't dare to come over either. So he also had to do his best to deal with Su Manning's problems.

Just as he was feeling bored, a sword-carrying man walked in from outside the door. He looked about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, and his body was held as straight as a sword.

His arrival once again drew the attention of everyone in the hall.
