Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 558: Banquets from All Quarters

Ever since the Jiang Family obtained the treasured Secret Technique from the Fulman family, their status on Earth, and even within the Star System, has soared tremendously.

Thus, representatives of the Jiang Family are continuously invited to attend banquets hosted by many prestigious families on Earth.

Regardless of whether the Jiang Family attends or not, every major family on Earth, including those descended from Sealed Emperor Families, would pay a visit to the Jiang residence to present an invitation card.

The Jiang Family’s significance arises from two main factors.

One is that with the Fulman family’s Supreme Level Secret Technique, as long as Cultivation is pursued with diligence, given time, the Jiang Family is poised not only to produce an Emperor-Sealing cultivator but at the very least to reach the scale of a Level 15 Cultivation Family.

Secondly, and what those descendants of Great Emperors on Earth value the most, is the mysterious high-level cultivator the Jiang Family enlisted to help the Fulman family—a first in history capable of breaking through a Sealing Emperor Level or above Formation-like Cave Mansion.

Such Cave Mansions abound in both the Fourth Plate and Fifth Plate, with at least hundreds to thousands of them never successfully conquered by any Sealed Emperor. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

In the current Cultivation World, there are over fifty families with Emperor Level inheritance techniques.

And the number of cultivators with Sealed Emperor strength just exceeds a hundred.

Yet there are thousands of families like Murong Jue’s, trapped in the Nineteen Layered Heaven without becoming Sealed Emperors.

Do you think they don’t wish to advance further?

In truth, these cultivators exhaust all methods daily, attempting to enter the Fourth Plate’s world to explore those untouched Cave Mansions.

Because it is in the Cave Mansions of the Fourth Plate where Emperor Level Secret Techniques are most likely to be found!

However, when it comes to most Cave Mansion mysteries for high-level cultivators, they are usually protected by formations.

At least 80% of Cave Mansion mysteries throughout the entire Fourth Plate’s world remain unexplored.

Back then, Zhang Ruokai and his contemporaries were lucky to find the few Cave Mansions without formations, which they monopolized during the great pioneering era, seizing the easily accessible Cave Mansion copies.

Therefore, other cultivators who ascended later are left with only the more difficult mysteries when hoping to acquire Emperor Level techniques.

Thus, "Emperor-Sealing" has become a dividing line.

Take the Fulman family head Reese for example; back then, he was on par with those from Nineteen Layered Heaven Realm families. Without the wait for an Emperor Level technique, his exceptional talents allowed him to break through using a Supreme Level technique, advancing to the Sealing Emperor Mirror Realm, and even becoming a Great Emperor of the 21 Layered Heaven.

Even he struggled to tackle Emperor Level Cave Mansions, let alone other cultivators of the Nineteen Layered Heaven.

So upon hearing that Forman Risi partnered with the Star Alliance to complete the long-stymied Cave Mansion pioneering mission, could the other families remain indifferent?

They had long since contacted Alliance Leader Luo of the Star Alliance with inquiries.

This is also why the nine other mercenary groups were envious of the Star Alliance’s stroke of luck.

Leaving aside whether negotiations succeeded or not, thousands of high tier cultivators from other domains have joined the basic membership of the Star Alliance group; the revenue from this alone is enough to make the top brass of the Star Alliance group wake up smiling.

These families also heard from Luo Wei that the Jiang Family is currently one of the group’s shareholders, and whether they accept assignments or not depends on the Jiang Family’s inclination.

Moreover, considering the Jiang Family’s currently modest scale, consisting of just a small household of three, and bearing in mind that they’ve just acquired the Fulman family’s Secret Technique, which will attract the attention of numerous powers, it’s understandable why they would hesitate to move beyond Earth.

This prompted the ancestors of various major families to instruct their Earth’s descendants to forge stronger ties with the Jiang Family.

This is why, within the entire Earth’s cultivation circles, it’s a given to invite the Jiang Family whenever major families host a banquet.

Jiang Ruolin receives countless invitation cards delivered to her home every day.

Those who come to deliver the invitations always do so with a particularly friendly and respectful demeanor.

Jiang Ruolin wanted her parents to go in her stead.

But the two of them shook their heads and refused.

They felt that their status was not high enough; dealing with high-ranking Cultivation Family patriarchs, who could command respect effortlessly, they feared that they wouldn’t be able to live up to the honor bestowed upon them.

They were also aware that it was Gu Feng who had elevated the Jiang Family to a height that wasn’t originally theirs.

It seemed as though the invitations were addressed to the Jiang Family, but in reality, they were aimed at the Gu Family behind them, or perhaps that mysterious person.

"At this kind of grand family banquet, only you can represent our Jiang Family because besides being the sole heir of the Jiang Family, you’re also Gu Feng’s woman."

Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang said to Jiang Ruolin.

Jiang Ruolin looked at those dozens of invitations, fraught with indecision.

Among these invitations, the least prominent were from fifteenth-tier Cultivation families, and there were even some from Emperor-Sealing families.

She spoke to Gu Feng with some difficulty, "There are so many invitations, I can’t manage them all. Even a fifteenth-tier Cultivation family is not one I can afford to offend."

She was well aware of the consequences of offending the families of high-level cultivators.

Because she had been through it.

In the era where the strong prey on the weak, it was not unusual in the Cultivation World for someone to want to kill an entire family over a grudge, like what happened with the young master of the Ma Family back then.

Therefore, Jiang Ruolin said she couldn’t handle all of them.

Gu Feng: "You don’t have to fear offending people. Go to whichever family you wish to form connections with, depending on your mood."

"But I’ve never attended any of these banquets since I was young, I can’t handle it," Jiang Ruolin felt unsure.

Her family had been in decline since she was small, although her parents were cultivators.

But they belonged to the ’working class’ within the Cultivation World.

They had never been invited to the banquets of fifth or sixth-tier Cultivation families in Yunze City, let alone those starting from fifteenth-tier Cultivation families or higher.

She was afraid that she might get stage fright.

Gu Feng sadly smiled: "Then I’ll accompany you."

He didn’t like such occasions.

He had already grown tired of them in his previous life.

But for the sake of Jiang Ruolin’s life experiences in this life, he could only accompany her.

Jiang Ruolin immediately beamed brightly and came over to loop her arm in Gu Feng’s, her pampered and joyous giggle resounding, "Husband, you are so kind."

Gu Feng looked at the invitations on the table, and said helplessly, "But you can’t go to them all. Pick a few families that you think you can forge connections with."

Jiang Ruolin frowned: "But that would offend people, and if they turn around and accuse me of being arrogant, my fourth-tier working-class Cultivation Family can’t carry such a big burden."

Gu Feng: "It’s okay, aren’t I here for you?"

"But still," Jiang Ruolin remained worried. Although these banquets were hosted by descendants of these families on Earth and should be relatively safe, she feared that inadvertently making enemies could ruin the favorable situation they were in.

Gu Feng wrapped his arms around her slender waist, leaning over to look at Jiang Ruolin’s blushing, coquettish face, and authoritatively said, "Just go to a few of the highest-tier families. Forget about the fifteenth or sixteenth-tier ones. Trust me, when I say it’s fine, it will be fine."

Being embraced by him, her body went limp, her mind went blank, having forgotten everything that was in her head. She could only open her big eyes wide and flutter her long eyelashes, dumbly nodding her head.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."
