"I am already aware of this matter, you may go. With the Level 4 Magic Scroll I have bestowed upon you, even if you encounter danger, it can protect you for a while. I have also sent a message to A-Heng, instructing him to accompany you. With both of your strengths, as long as you do not encounter an Intermediate Level 5 expert, it should not be difficult to ensure your safety."
In the hall of the room, Sean Sterling floated with his eyes closed in front of the window, speaking calmly with his back turned.
"Thank you, senior. Since you have arranged this matter, I can rest assured. I will take my leave now." Upon hearing this, Bu bowed respectfully and then turned to leave without saying anything further.
Bu was not surprised that Sean Sterling was aware of this matter in advance. With Sean Sterling's formidable Mental Power, he likely sensed the person delivering the invitation as soon as they approached within a kilometer of the castle. It was not difficult for him to know in advance.
What surprised Bu was that Sean Sterling had actually instructed A-Heng to accompany him to the banquet. This made Bu Xin feel somewhat invigorated; the matter that had been pending could now be acted upon during this opportunity.
Not long after leaving the castle, Bu saw A-Heng's tall and robust figure at the end of the road. He chuckled lightly and quickened his pace to greet him.
"Young Master Brent..." Seeing Bu approach, A-Heng stepped forward and placed his right fist against his chest in salute.
Waving his hand, Bu smiled and said, "There is no need for such formality, Brother A-Heng. Although we have only known each other for a short time, it is indeed fate. It has been a long time since I have seen someone with the same skin color as mine. Meeting you is truly an honor."
"Same skin color...?" Upon hearing Bu's words, A-Heng showed a puzzled expression, seeming quite confused.
Seeing A-Heng's reaction, Bu was taken aback for a moment before realizing and laughing, "Oh... I mean, it has been a long time since I have seen someone like us—people with black hair and black eyes—so encountering you, Brother A-Heng, feels very familiar."
"Oh~ so that's how it is. Same skin color... interesting." A-Heng smiled in understanding, his confusion dissipating. He then casually remarked, "Since the era of Hua Bao Co-Governance until now, our people have indeed decreased significantly and are mostly scattered across various corners of Fran Continent. Meeting Young Master Brent is also an honor for me."
"People...?" Bu Xin felt a stir of speculation but maintained a composed demeanor as he continued to smile and said, "What you say is true; as they say, 'A friend in distant lands is a treasure.' To meet amidst the vast sea of humanity is indeed fate; moreover, there is kinship involved.
I deeply admire your initiative to apologize yesterday, Brother A-Heng. Between us peers, there is no need for formalities; from now on, I shall call you brother."
"This..." A-Heng was taken aback and seemed somewhat hesitant.
Seeing this reaction from A-Heng, Bu quickly added, "Could it be that you dislike me and refuse to befriend me?" At this point, Bu Mei frowned slightly as if showing some displeasure.
Upon hearing Bu's words, A-Heng felt awkward and quickly waved his hand saying, "Brother has misunderstood; that's not what I meant. It's just..."
"If that's the case, then I can rest assured. It seems that you still hold me in regard. Let's go... Today we shall head out together for the banquet and drink until we are intoxicated." Without waiting for A-Heng to explain further, Bu stepped forward and directly grabbed A-Heng's arm with a friendly demeanor as if he were extremely pleased to have met an elder brother.
"Um... okay..." Faced with such enthusiasm from Bu, A-Heng found it difficult to say anything further and could only smile wryly while allowing Bu to pull him along.
At this moment, Bu had also gauged A-Heng's strength; he was at the same Intermediate Level as him. However, A-Heng's energy was much more robust and was nearing the peak of Intermediate Level. He had opened over forty Acupoints within him and had likely been at Intermediate Level for several years now.
"With Yahang accompanying me, along with that Storm Barrier's Magic Scroll, even if there are dangers at the banquet, I should be able to hold out until Sean Sterling arrives for rescue, even if Hawk intervenes. I just wonder how strong Yahang really is..." Bu pondered as he exited the railing gate with Yahang and boarded the carriage that Servant had prepared, heading towards the banquet location.
Kevin did not mention the exact location of the banquet in the invitation, but the Aldra Family is well-known. Kevin is a prominent figure in the noble circles of the imperial capital, so without needing Bu's instructions, Fayrel and Victor arranged the carriage and itinerary, instructing Servant to take care of everything, saving Bu Yifan the trouble of inquiring.
After traveling through several districts for half an hour, they arrived at the Aldra Family's residence in the imperial capital. The journey was smooth, and no assassination attempts occurred as Bu had feared.
"It seems... Sean Sterling's display of power yesterday indeed intimidated quite a few people. Otherwise, I would have likely faced some ambush from those with ulterior motives during this outing." After getting off the carriage, Bu looked ahead at the white stone mansion and then surveyed his surroundings, deep in thought.
"Brent Brothers, you need not worry. With Lord Sean's words from yesterday, I doubt anyone would dare to attempt an assassination on you," Yahang said as he jumped off his horse and noticed Bu's expression, offering a reassuring smile.
Bu nodded lightly and smiled back at Yahang. "Yes, Brother Yahang is right; there's nothing much to worry about. Hehe... let's go..." With that, Bu gestured with his left hand and stepped forward alongside Yahang towards the white stone mansion.
Upon reaching the Vermilion Carved Door of the mansion, four guards blocked their path.
"Hey hey... what are you two doing here? Do you know where this place is? How dare you wander in here?" one guard with a sword at his waist spoke rudely, his tone quite impolite and his gaze arrogant. The other three guards also watched Bu and Yahang closely with unfriendly expressions.
Bu Mei frowned slightly, displeasure evident on his face as he thought to himself: "It seems Kevin wants to give me a warning; how dare these mere guards speak so insolently."
Yahang seemed to sense something as well; his eyes narrowed slightly as he stood silently behind Bu.
"Your master invited me here for a banquet. Didn't he inform you four?" Bu's gaze sharpened as he looked at the four guards blocking their way. Before they could respond, he continued mockingly, "Oh... I see now; it must be that your status is too lowly. As mere gatekeepers, you don't have the right to know such things. However, I advise you to step aside quickly... good dogs do not block the way."
"You... audacious... how dare you speak so arrogantly!" The four guards were furious and drew their weapons simultaneously, charging towards Bu.
"Oh~ still daring to make a move?" Bu smirked disdainfully.
These four were merely low-level fighters; with Bu's current abilities, he could easily defeat them. If Kevin had any sense, he wouldn't turn against him over four subordinates while the Peak Showdown was still unresolved.
"Hold on." Just then, a voice called out from afar as a young man wearing a Pointed Hat rushed out from within the mansion at a fast pace, speaking urgently.
"Hmph..." Seeing the newcomer, Bu sneered internally and acted without hesitation. A flash of dark energy surged forth as he struck out violently.
The four guards only saw a blur before they felt intense pain throughout their bodies. The immense impact hit them suddenly; they couldn't maintain their footing and were sent flying like broken sacks, crashing hard against the pillars of the mansion's entrance with loud thuds.
The fight happened swiftly and ended just as quickly; from Bu's sudden attack to the four guards spitting blood and flying away took only an instant. At that moment, the young man in the Pointed Hat finally emerged from the mansion's door and looked down with a grim expression at the four guards lying on the ground bleeding profusely.
"You..." The Pointed Hat Youth looked up at Bu, his face pale, unable to speak for a while.
"What's wrong... do you have an opinion?" Bu's eyes glinted coldly as he scanned the other person, energy swirling within him and manifesting outward, like a fierce tiger ready to pounce.
The Pointed Hat Youth felt a shiver run through him under Bu's piercing gaze, as if he were being locked onto by a ferocious beast. His muscles tensed involuntarily, and in his fear, he inwardly lamented, "It's over, it's over. How could I be so foolish as to provoke this person?"
Although Young Master Kevin had instructed him to give Bu a warning, seeing the current situation, the strength of these four useless lackeys was simply not enough to intimidate him. By stepping forward like this, wasn't he just asking for trouble?
The more the Pointed Hat Youth thought about it, the more afraid he became. As he felt the overwhelming pressure of Bu's powerful energy bearing down on him, he trembled and quickly forced out an awkward smile, shaking his head like a rattle: "Oh no... Young Master Brent misunderstood. I am Amus, sent by Young Master Kevin to welcome you."
These few wicked servants have offended the young master; it is only right for him to step in and teach them a lesson. How could I dare have any objections? I'm just happy... haha, very happy...
As Amus spoke, he stepped forward and kicked the four Guards lying on the ground several times, forcing a smile towards Bu as if to prove that he was indeed very happy and had no objections.
"Heh..." Bu let out a light laugh and looked at Yahang. He found Amus's ability to read the wind quite amusing and temporarily dismissed the idea of teaching him a lesson.
Yahang, coming from a military background, naturally looked down on someone like Amus who bullied the weak and feared the strong. His eyes were filled with disdain as he shook his head at Bu's glance.
