However, upon seeing Jiang Chen, many nobles couldn't help but frown. His attire was far too casual; in the aristocratic circles of Great Britain, etiquette was of utmost importance. It was quite rude for Jiang Chen to attend the ball without dressing appropriately.
"Xue Sha, Xiao Lu, there are quite a few young gentlemen here tonight, and they are all looking at you. If any catch your interest, you might want to pay attention," Ni Xingyi said, shifting her focus away from Jiang Chen. Noticing several people glancing in their direction, she teased them lightly to ease her own nerves.
"I'm not interested in them at all," Jiang Lu replied dismissively.
"Neither am I," Qin Xue Sha added.
"Really? You both have such high standards! These are all noble sons of Great Britain. Regardless of their family backgrounds, just judging by their looks and figures, they are all quite outstanding," Ni Xingyi said with mild surprise. To be honest, there were indeed some incredibly handsome men present today.
At such a ball, while the men admired the beautiful women, the women were also looking at the handsome men. Moreover, the ladies were more open; some of the most attractive men already had several young girls surrounding them.
Bowen Delson was also surrounded by beauties. Although he wasn't considered a super handsome guy, his well-groomed appearance and slicked-back hair, combined with his background aura, made him quite popular among the girls.
As the ball had yet to begin and the main event had not started, Jiang Chen and his companions found a corner to observe.
"Those people are discussing that Countess Daughter, saying she is incredibly beautiful, like an angel. Sister Ni, have you ever seen the Countess Daughter?" Jiang Lu asked. Her English was quite good; she could understand the conversations around her.
"I've heard of her but never seen her. They say she is very beautiful and also very mysterious; she rarely makes appearances. Even when she does, it's mostly among the aristocracy. I don't have much contact with these true noble circles; my status isn't quite enough. Besides, the elite circles in Great Britain are very exclusive. Not to mention the nobility; we 'Yellow Faces' find it hard to integrate. So I don't know much about this Countess Daughter," Ni Xingyi explained.
"They look down on us 'Yellow Faces,' but we look down on their 'White Faces' too," Jiang Lu said indignantly.
Ni Xingyi smiled but didn't continue on that topic. Instead, she said, "You two wait here for a moment; I'm going over there to meet Mr. Bowie."
After Ni Xingyi left, Jiang Lu noticed her brother gazing at the murals on the ceiling of the castle and couldn't help but look as well. The murals were abstract, and Jiang Lu couldn't make sense of them.
"What are you looking at, brother?" Jiang Lu asked.
"Just admiring this European Seventeenth Century mural," Jiang Chen replied with a smile. The mural depicted a battle between angels and demons and included some legends about vampires.
The ancient legends of Huaxia were real; thus, it was only natural that the Western tales of angels and demons and vampires were also true.
This world was originally part of the Great Thousand World—a complex tapestry where most ancient legends weren't merely figments of imagination.
Jiang Chen sought out the blood clan for the Divine Bone Order this time. He planned to use diplomacy before resorting to force; if he could obtain the Divine Bone Order without conflict, that would be ideal. Although he didn't regard the blood clan highly, there were simply too many of them hidden throughout various sectors of society. Making enemies with them could lead to troublesome situations. Jiang Chen knew he couldn't eradicate every member of the blood clan; at least from a broader perspective, they had been quite low-key in recent years and rarely committed crimes—as if they had been erased from history altogether.
