King of Assassins-Chapter 865 - 624: Placing Bets (3)

In and out, this deal was hugely profitable.

High-level conflicts, the lower levels are all in a fog, not knowing what's going on.

Someone like Yanzi is even more clueless. She only knows one thing—Gao Xuan is fine. This makes her quite happy.

Yuan Youyuan is much more insightful than Yanzi; she can see that the Cao Family suffered a big loss, and Huang Tingdao took the opportunity to consolidate power.

For the Yuan Family, this is actually a great opportunity. The vacant Elder position is something they can totally compete for.

Even if they can't secure it, it's no big deal. If their family doesn't advance, but others fall behind, they can maintain their lead.

The Cao Family People naturally wailed miserably, each with an unpleasant look.

Because of Cao Ye's matter, even Cao Teng got implicated. This also made many in the Cao Family complain.

With so many people watching at the Holy Hall, even if you don't understand, you know the Cao Family took a significant fall.

The reputational impact is even greater than the impact of Cao Teng stepping down.

Qin Fei, Yuan Hai, Huang Linyin, and others were all elated in their hearts. They barely survived the blood battle in Night Demon City but were suspected by the Cao Family People, so everyone felt extremely unhappy.

Seeing the Cao Family down on their luck, everyone was certainly happy.

The Holy Hall's commendation ceremony officially ended at this point.

There were so many people on-site, and the Golden Orchid Association surrounded Gao Xuan in layers.

Yanzi originally wanted to run over and congratulate Gao Xuan, but seeing Gao Xuan's situation, she could only leave helplessly.

Yuan Ping'an was more indifferent; he didn't like socializing. Since Gao Xuan was fine, there was no need to say more.

But Yuan Youyuan stood patiently by the side, waiting. Gao Xuan weathered this storm and has limitless prospects, worth waiting for patiently.

There were too many people from the Golden Orchid Association; if Gao Xuan said a few words to each, it would take a long time.

Luckily, Qin Fei, understanding the situation, shouted, "To celebrate for the boss, I'll treat everyone to a dinner at the Supernova Grand Hotel today."

Everyone cheered at this. The Supernova Grand Hotel is a famous, luxurious hotel, and the crucial point is that everyone dining together means a lively atmosphere.

Gao Xuan pulled Qin Fei aside and said, "There are so many people, don't spend your own money."

Qin Fei nonchalantly said, "Five thousand per person, a meal costs only a few million, it's nothing, as long as everyone is happy..."

Gao Xuan didn't want to participate, but these young people were too enthusiastic, so he couldn't just leave the others behind and had to agree.

"Count me in, Xiaofeifei."

Yuan Youyuan parted the crowd and walked over with a smile to greet Qin Fei.

The two were only two or three years apart in age, but their cultivation was vastly different. Qin Fei was quite familiar with Yuan Youyuan and had been pestered by her a lot as a child.

Seeing Yuan Youyuan approach, Qin Fei trembled slightly. This voluptuous woman— the more beautiful her face, the darker her heart.

Qin Fei knew Yuan Youyuan was there for Gao Xuan, but under the other's piercing gaze, she didn't dare refuse and reluctantly nodded, "Welcome, welcome."

These four words were particularly insincere.

Yuan Youyuan didn't mind, she smiled slightly at Gao Xuan, "Congratulations, congratulations, now your Level is higher than mine, you must take care of me in the future."

"Sure, sure."

Gao Xuan replied politely; he liked Yuan Youyuan's appearance quite a lot, but that was about it.

This girl looked innocent, but her thoughts were far more complex than Qin Fei's.

Beside them, Yuan Hai behaved very respectfully, directly addressing Yuan Youyuan as "Little Aunt."

Yuan Hai was only three years younger than Yuan Youyuan, yet there was a generational gap. As a child, he was often disciplined by Yuan Youyuan, and seeing her now made him nervous.

In such a large group, having one more Yuan Youyuan didn't make much difference. A big group of people drove to the Supernova Hotel, directly booking an entire floor.

It was thanks to the prestige of Qin Fei and Yuan Hai that they could temporarily book an entire floor.

Over seven hundred people sat at more than thirty tables, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.

With most being seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers, not many table manners and rules mattered here.

After a few drinks, the scene became somewhat chaotic.

People kept coming to clink glasses and drink with Gao Xuan, with some even getting quite emotional.

Thanks to Gao Xuan's high cultivation, he managed to go through several rounds of drinking without issue.

However, Qin Fei, Yuan Hai, Huang Linyin, and the like had long overindulged. Although not unconscious, they began to talk nonsense.

Yuan Youyuan found it amusing to watch from the side, thinking this group of kids was indeed lively. While not much older herself, her character was much more mature.

She also appreciated Gao Xuan's calm and composed demeanor.

During the feast, she didn't talk much with Gao Xuan, nor did she inquire about the Moon Spirit Pearl. She just chatted casually.

This time, she respected Gao Xuan a bit more, and felt a bit closer to him. This subtle change in attitude was actually quite perceptible to others.

Gao Xuan also found Yuan Youyuan impressive—mature yet not worldly, agile in thinking, knowledgeable, with an independent character and well-planned actions.

Surprisingly, she was not even twenty, very young and vibrant. Sweet and beautiful in appearance.

Standing next to Qin Fei, she instantly made Qin Fei less noticeable.

Though Qin Fei was also quite pretty and smart, she was too immature in comparison, completely overshadowed by Yuan Youyuan's charm.

As the banquet concluded, Qin Fei was heavily drunk, and Yuan Youyuan drove them back to the Holy Hall with Qin Fei and Gao Xuan.

Once Gao Xuan left, Qin Fei drowsily opened her eyes and said to Yuan Youyuan, "You want to woo our boss, don't you?"

Yuan Youyuan laughed, "He's great in many ways, we fit well together."

"But he's from a lower background. Isn't your Yuan Family very status-conscious?"

Qin Fei advised, "What are you doing this for?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Yuan Youyuan earnestly told Qin Fei, "I know you admire him. But he's not suitable for you. He seems mature and steady on the outside, but deep down he's actually very cold and realistic."

"Hmph, I just like him," Qin Fei said indifferently. She was still childish, if she liked it she wanted it in her hands, completely ignoring whether it was suitable.

"You can't handle someone like him. Listen to your elder sister, be well-behaved."

Yuan Youyuan softly told Qin Fei, "I'm doing this for your own good."

Qin Fei was ungrateful: "You just want to steal my man."

"Haha, male and female affection is just a pastime in life. It's not worth mentioning."

Yuan Youyuan said, her bright eyes shining profoundly: "I'm not as idle as you. My goal is the stars and the sea."

Qin Fei was drunk, not noticing Yuan Youyuan's serious demeanor, drunkenly retorting, "Your stars and sea are just men!"

"You don't understand, the stars and the sea aren't something you fly to all at once, but something you walk towards step by step..."

Yuan Youyuan's voice grew softer; she wasn't speaking to Qin Fei but rather reminding herself.

In terms of Power and energy, Gao Xuan wasn't ranked amongst the Cloud Light Sanctuary. However, Yuan Youyuan saw potential in Gao Xuan, boundless potential.

Many people have potential, but no one ever gave Yuan Youyuan such a strong feeling.

In Gao Xuan, Yuan Youyuan also saw variables—a kind of unrestrained variable.

This wasn't Yuan Youyuan's sudden whim; she had always had a peculiar sense for the future since childhood. She could always predict the future correctly and always made the right choices.

Upon their first meeting, Yuan Youyuan just thought Gao Xuan was very promising.

When everyone swore an oath in front of the Divine Emperor, Yuan Youyuan saw a huge variable in Gao Xuan.

Yuan Youyuan sees this as an opportunity, a chance to place a bet in advance.

Yuan Youyuan clenched her fist to encourage herself, "This is a huge opportunity to change fate, I must seize it!"

But with Gao Xuan's current momentum, going over to him now would only mean selling herself short. To capture this man, she needs to show more significant value...
