At last, Xu Que and b.u.t.tface walked out of that alley. Xu Que didn’t care what the strongly built man would do to punish his wife or Lord w.a.n.g either.

Very quietly I take my leave, as quietly as I came! Quietly, I wave good-bye and only leave with an invitation! As for the rest, it’s none of my business!

“Holy c.r.a.p! Little brat, how did you discover the hidden meaning in that note just now? You are just awesome!” b.u.t.tface, who was following him, said in surprise.

“Humph! Every member of the Exploding Heavens Faction would see through that old trick!” Xu Que snorted proudly as he walked forward.

“I am also a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction! Why didn’t I see it? Hey, don’t go, little brat! Just tell me the reason!”

They walked away in their usual clamorous wrangling.

As they were walking, Xu Que checked the invitation. He understood that some cla.s.sy activities would be performed during this banquet held by the Dong Family, such as composing poems and couplets, playing musical instruments and singing, as well as friendly fighting matches and the like. These activities weren’t daunting for Xu Que. With the a.s.sistance of the System, nothing could baffle him.

The only thing that puzzled him were the words written in the last part of the invitation—the results of all contests and matches don’t count!

“This is weird! If the results don’t count, what is the meaning of the matches and contests? How could they choose a husband for the heiress?” Xu Que asked with puzzlement.

After reading the invitation, b.u.t.tface also was curious. “I guess they will do it according to their feelings! Or according to appearances!”

Xu Que was surprised by that. “If that is the case, I will definitely be the winner, right?”

“Holy c.r.a.p! I will also attend this banquet!” b.u.t.tface said proudly as he touched the hair on his head. The next moment, he put down his paw and shouted angrily, “d.a.m.n! Toy poodle is really a psycho! He placed a lot of hair lotion on my head but didn’t wash it away with water! Little brat, I need to wash my hair!”

“Nonsense! You can’t wash away the hair lotion for it is teeming with life!” Xu Que replied.

“What? Living hair lotion?” b.u.t.tface was stunned a bit. Then he said with wild laughter, “Is there really such a miraculous hair lotion in this world? Awesome! I guess it will provide a lot of nourishment for me if I eat it!”

“No….”

Before Xu Que could stop him, b.u.t.tface had put his paw into his mouth.

Holy c.r.a.p!

Xu Que touched his forehead disgustedly for he really couldn’t watch it anymore! He turned around and started to ask pedestrians about the address for the Dong Family. He got their address easily; their home was located in the center of the city. Their magnificent and beautifully decorated building was the tallest in the city.

From a distance, the building of the Dong Family was quite stylish and towered into the clouds. When Xu Que and b.u.t.tface arrived at the gates of the Dong Family, they were shocked by the magnificent building.

“Holy c.r.a.p! The iron tower of the R Nation is even lower than this building! Why did they build such a tall building? Aren’t they afraid of falling and dying from such great heights?” b.u.t.tface exclaimed.

“n.o.body is afraid of dying from falling today!” Xu Que said with a faint smile. He stepped forward and handed over the invitation. Then they were ushered in by a waiter courteously.

Before entering the building, they walked through a s.p.a.cious yard, which was full of beautiful pools, pavilions, and rockeries containing unique rocks. Sculptures of ferocious animals were placed on surrounding walls and rooftops. They were so lifelike that it seemed they could run away at any time.

“Lord w.a.n.g, this is the venue of tonight’s activities. Please enjoy yourself!”

Xu Que and b.u.t.tface had arrived at the entrance to the party. The waiter went back to welcome other guests.

First Realm City was very large, so a lot of young men were attending this banquet. Although the Dong Family had many waiters and waitresses, all of them were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Xu Que found that a lot of people had already arrived. The entrance hall was lavishly decorated with a golden ceiling and colorful stone walls. The floor was covered with embroidered carpets.

A lot of small tables full of refreshments had been placed in the hall. When the guests arrived, they would sit down at a table and start to chat with others. Xu Que sat down at a table in the front row that didn’t draw too much attention. This kind of position was quite suitable for acting tough. If he planned to keep a low profile, this position could be ignored by others easily. If he tried to amaze others, this place could become the focal point of the entire area soon.

b.u.t.tface, who was quite honest about his desires, rushed toward the refreshments directly. Then he started to gobble up all different kinds of tasty food!

More and more people were arriving every minute and gathering in the hall. All of them were young talents who were quite powerful and even extraordinary. During this period, Xu Que refreshed his spirit by closing his eyes aloofly. He didn’t chat with any of the others. Actually, a lot of acting tough fans like him were in this hall.

One hour later, the hall was almost full of people. A maidservant walked out and shouted in a clear-cut voice, “On behalf of our Heiress, I hereby thank you for coming. Now, the banquet begins officially!”

Then, a beautiful figure walked up from the central area of the hall. However, that place was covered by a gauze curtain, which created a mysterious atmosphere. Through the curtain, they could only see a shadowy figure. A lot of perfume sachets were hanging next to the gauze curtain and they gave off a most refres.h.i.+ng fragrance.

Most people here could see nothing, but the gauze curtain couldn’t baffle Xu Que. He focused his True Core Strength and squinted his eyes. Then he could see everything behind the gauze curtain clearly. He was shocked by what he saw. A gorgeous young woman was sitting behind the gauze curtain. Her temperament and beauty could rival those of Liu Jingning. She was quiet, graceful, and seemed a little bit innocent, like Xiao Rou.

Xu Que was more and more anxious to go back to the Four Great Continents. After the revival of Xiao Rou, she was performing cultivation in the Mystery Land of the South Continent. He hadn’t seen her yet. Seeing the Dong Family’s Heiress, Xu Que couldn’t help but miss Xiao Rou.

“I really appreciate your attendance! The purposes of today’s banquet are communication and learning about all of you great talents. As the host of tonight’s activity, I will have a small poem read out first to get the ball rolling!” The Dong Family’s Heiress said as she handed a scroll to the maidservant at this time. The maidservant walked out with the scroll and read the poem on it.

Instantly, the hall was full of applause and compliments. However, Xu Que just sat there aloofly as he shook his head slightly.

“I’ve heard the Heiress of the Dong Family is of great learning and ability. Today, I was so lucky to see it. I also composed a poem recently. Please comment on it, thanks!” A young man stood up and said politely at this time. Then, he started to read his poem.

The rest of the people listened carefully. When he had finished reading his poem, the hall was full of applause again. Xu Que kept shaking his head as if complaining about how terrible the poem was.

Next, another man stood up to read his poem. This time, the poem was pretty good. A lot of people stood up to applaud and praise it.However, Xu Que was still shaking his head. After that, no matter who read a poem, he would be ridiculed and disdained by Xu Que, who was shaking his head continuously. A lot of people saw his reaction. However, they ignored him completely and n.o.body blamed him.

Xu Que was totally puzzled.

What do you mean?

Are you really so magnanimous?

My neck is almost broken. I am mocking you! Why don’t you blame me? How can I act tough in this way?

This is really humiliating!

Humph! It seems I have to act tough forcibly! Xu Que snorted coldly to himself and was about to stand up.

At this time, Miss Dong’s voice came out from behind the gauze curtain. “All of you are so gifted! I’ve learned a lot today! Now the poem performance is over!”

Hearing that, Xu Que got annoyed.

d.a.m.n! Why did you end it so soon?

I haven’t acted tough yet. How could you end it now?

You’ve ruined my plan!

“Guys!” Miss Dong said again at this time. Her voice was quite melodious. “I guess all of you know I like music very much. I suggest we could have a contest of playing musical instruments. Is that OK for you?”

The people in the hall responded to her proposal immediately.

“OK! Actually, I also like music very much!”

“Hah, hah! It happens that I also have some musical knowledge. I will take this opportunity to show myself!”

“Miss Dong, if I may venture to ask you to play a composition first, so that we could learn from you?”

“Exactly! Miss Dong, I am suffering from a serious illness and couldn’t live long in this world. I hope I could enjoy your music, so that I can close my eyes in death.”

People started to shout.

When Miss Dong suggested having a music contest, Xu Que started to purchase songs and compositions from the System store.

I’ve missed the poem performance. I will never miss the music contest!

Since you don’t want to give me the chance to act tough, I have to do it myself!

Today, n.o.body could stop me from acting tough!

I will definitely act tough in the music contest!
