Yellen nodded, "There are three tests in total. I don't know the content of the third test, so I can't guarantee what it will be. If you are willing, you can stay and wait until the ceremony in two days is over before heading to Hero City. In the meantime, we will prepare some plasma for you."
Vlad stood up, placing his left hand on his chest and bowing slightly. "Thank you." Just as he finished speaking, his gaze shifted to the side, where a stunning couple was walking up from below.
The man was over six feet tall, robust, strong, and handsome. His calm eyes gave him an air of authority. Beside him was a breathtaking beauty. Vlad studied her for a long time, realizing he couldn't find words from the Eternal Sphere to describe her beauty. Her face was flawless; every feature was impeccable, pieced together on a perfect visage. The word "perfect" seemed insufficient.
Beauty comes in many standards, with various measurements and criteria; however, from Vlad's perspective, a beautiful woman possessed several key traits: long, attractive legs, a graceful figure, a poised demeanor, a curvy back, and an aura of elegance in her walk, smile, conversation, and gaze...
No, there were no flaws. Even with love in his heart, Vlad had to admit that this woman's beauty could overshadow all the violet hues of women in the Eternal Sphere. Unable to resist, he stepped forward to greet her; standing still felt like an affront. His eyes were solely on her as he smiled and greeted her before naturally kneeling on one knee to kiss the back of her hand. He then stepped aside to let her pass.
Liu Meier and Cui Ming didn't need to look at a portfolio; they recognized Liu Meier immediately. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever encountered. Vlad was a gentleman while Cui Ming observed critically. His perspective differed from others.
Her shoes and clothing were custom-made high-end pieces from West Lake City. The color coordination was perfect; they fit well and clearly took considerable time and effort to create. Her hair was well-maintained with high-quality hair products. Her facial features were uncertain... Her fingers showed signs of training; normally, a person's fingers bend when relaxed and require slight effort to straighten. Liu Meier noticed this detail—her fingers were nearly straight.
Position-wise, Liu Meier always walked half a step behind Ye Wen; this did not seem out of sync but rather evoked a natural protective instinct in the men around her.
Bastard! I can't believe it! I refuse to believe that an ordinary person without special training could handle details so well. But Liu Meier is a diva; it seems normal for someone with formal training... Damn it! Beauty indeed has a significant impact on men; I'm actually making excuses for her! Cui Ming analyzed that Liu Meier did not belong to that kind of professional training but seemed to have undergone training aimed at captivating men. She was like a spy; during several world wars, beautiful spies emerged endlessly. These spies not only received training in information transmission but also had to master basic skills in seducing men. However, most of them were formulaic and rigid. Liu Meier transcended that... No! Liu Meier's beauty surpassed both formulaic and rigid training; she didn't need such instruction. She inherently possessed an alluring beauty that drew men in; her attention to detail made her even more perfect.
The meeting momentarily paused as Li Qing sensed two practitioners approaching and used his spiritual sight but couldn't see Liu Meier or Ye Wen due to their distance. However, he noticed the different expressions on those around him. Yellen stood up with an air of respect but seemed somewhat uneasy as he struggled to control where his gaze landed. Mi Xiaonan's mouth hung open in astonishment. What about Cui Ming? What was he doing? He appeared guarded and scrutinizing... Wait a minute! Wouldn't Cui Ming try to conceal such negative attitudes? Or had he forgotten?
Li Qing remarked, "It seems Liu Meier is truly beautiful."
Cui Ming was stunned: "Senior Brother, your perception is unparalleled." At twelve meters away, what difference would it make if you had eyes or not?
Li Qing smiled leisurely and whispered, "Junior Brother, your expression is too revealing."
"Uh-huh." Cui Ming replied with one word before stepping forward with Li Qing to shake hands and exchange pleasantries with Ye Wen. As for Mi Xiaonan, he remained oblivious to everything around him—who said love couldn't cross species? Even if love couldn't transcend boundaries, beauty certainly could. Just look at how cute hamsters become beloved pets while scraggly rats are universally despised villains. Perhaps hamsters might not seem appealing to rats, but in human eyes, they are adorable and charming enough to earn their place as pets. The aesthetic sense of Yorkians closely resembles that of humans.
Ye Wen introduced them: "This is my friend Liu Meier from the Liu Family; you should have heard of her by now."
Liu Meier smiled and listened attentively, nodding in acknowledgment. "I've heard of your reputation long before. Not only did you excel in the Assessment Match, but your brotherly bond is truly touching."
Cui Ming nodded. "We, the disciples of the Buddhist Sect..."
Li Qing quickly interjected, "This way, please." He knew what Cui Ming was about to say; he could tell from the first sentence that Cui Ming was entering a state of rambling. Why he chose to ramble at this moment was unclear, but it was best not to indulge in it now. The full statement would be that they, the disciples of the Buddhist Sect, often felt 'highly esteemed,' and their feelings were deepening daily.
Sigh... Brother, do you realize that your tactic is quite unexpected? It's certain that Liu Meier has received her fair share of curses from women and garnered many men's admiration. However, no one could possibly ignore her. I was merely teasing and joking around, placing the key point on Ye Wen to let her experience the cold reception and observe her reaction. The Earth has been orbiting the Sun for billions of years; if the Sun were to feel shy and circle around the Earth a few times, the Earth would surely feel dizzy. To deal with someone who is adept at controlling details, one must first make them feel disoriented and evoke feelings of dissatisfaction or unease. I don't mind portraying myself as a man infatuated with Ye Wen's beauty. After all, I'm not relying on my looks for a living.
Ye Wen turned to Li Qing and said, "I still need to meet with Liu Meier to see the family head. Shall we have dinner together tonight?"
"Yes," Li Qing nodded as everyone smiled and watched them leave.
From a side building, Yellen's sister Ye Shi emerged; she was currently serving as a liaison. During these unusual times, there was a need for someone to establish contact with the alliance via phone when necessary. Not only would she connect with people from the alliance but also with the Ye Family. Ye Shi only caught sight of Ye Wen and Liu Meier's figures as she walked over to Yellen, who said first, "It's fine; we're all friends here. Just speak directly."
That was quite a clever move. If it were something difficult to say, Ye Shi would insist on it, and Yellen would naturally accompany her aside to say something like children don’t understand such matters. Comparing Cui Ming's situation with Ye Wen's: which is more important—bringing your woman to meet the family head or chatting with everyone? Certainly, the family head wouldn’t dare neglect this matter; however, just moments ago, it was Li Qing—a guest who held some renown within the alliance—who politely invited Ye Wen to sit with him, and she had declined.
Ye Shi nodded at everyone and said, "In ten days, the Fire Cult Papal Envoy will meet with Force Alliance President Buffon Envoy in Dawn Empire."
Cui Ming questioned, "Why has the Fire Cult suddenly agreed to meet? Previously, we couldn't even communicate with their practitioners."
Everyone pondered for a moment before Cui Ming asked again, "Did the Fire Cult reach out to the alliance proactively?"
Ye Shi hesitated. "I... don't know."
Cui Ming pressed on, "Before the Fire Cult contacted the alliance, did anything significant happen within our alliance or within the Fire Cult that could affect the overall situation?"
Yellen looked at Ye Shi. "Little sister, go find out for sure. Although we are all young people here, we are very concerned about the situation." They were all relatively powerless individuals; however, Yellen and Li Qing had gained some recognition within the alliance—especially Yellen—who seemed to be trending towards becoming a leading figure for the Ye Family within the alliance.
Ye Shi left, and Yellen smiled. "Sorry about that; children don’t understand things well and ask questions without context—definitely not suited for this liaison role."
Vlad had been listening quietly until now when he asked, "I don't quite understand why Miss Ye Shi didn't inform the family head about this news first?"
Yellen spoke candidly, "It was my instruction. First, tell me. The President and Wandering have a high opinion of Cui Ming, and I am also curious to see Cui Ming's abilities."
"Haha..." Cui Ming laughed, "Overstepping your bounds, showing off too much. My apologies, my apologies."
Yellen shook her head. "Don't say that. What young person doesn't want to showcase themselves? Who doesn't want to display their talents? The willingness to show oneself and the courage to do so are far more important than merely having talent. Although you believe you are an outsider, deep down, you still care about the Fire Cult."
Indeed, this was true. Previously, it was because of the Eva Agreement that Li Qing was responsible for investigating the Fire Cult Practitioners. After Lion Dog's stunning battle, Cui Ming felt a growing concern for the Fire Cult. When the nest is destroyed, how can the eggs survive?
Cui Ming smiled slightly, "Mainly because I lack talent. I consider myself clever but have delayed important matters. Moreover, it's too late; why would the Fire Cult want to negotiate? It doesn't matter anymore. Besides, there are many wise individuals in the alliance; as a mere firefly, I dare not compete with the sun."
"Humility is a virtue," Yellen replied and casually asked, "Do you have any news about Ding Ze?"
"No," Li Qing and the others shook their heads. Li Qing then asked, "Does the Ye Family have any news about Ding Ze?"
"We only know that he went to the Northern region of the Western Continent, the birthplace of ancient humanity. This area has long been uninhabited; with steep mountains and difficult living conditions, especially due to a lack of salt, the indigenous people migrated away five hundred years ago. Now only professional teams like archaeological expeditions venture deep into it."
Speaking of Ding Ze reminded them of Beiyue. Ye Wen emerged from the main building and quickly walked over to Yellen, saying, "The security said there is a woman named Beiyue downstairs who wants to visit the Ye Family with Wei Wei regarding vampires. Can you help me receive them first?"
Everyone exchanged glances—first in surprise at Beiyue's sudden appearance, and second in concern for Ye Wen. As a prospective head of the family who would take over in two days, how could she not know that vampires were right in front of her? Furthermore, Beiyue and Wei Wei were Alliance Hunters; even if it weren't for you, a head of the family would still meet them for a few words.
Yellen nodded and watched Ye Wen return before apologizing, "Recently, Ye Wen has been quite busy and hasn't had time to pay attention to Ye Family matters." Yellen felt somewhat dissatisfied; this was indeed a bit unreasonable. Standing up to greet everyone, he raised his hand to signal the security personnel in the distance to bring over a vehicle so he could personally go greet Beiyue and Wei Wei.
