After seeing Alfred off, Chu Chuyan went to Zaun's room—the two were placed in adjacent courtyards. Although she knew that it would be too disrespectful to arrange guests in the same room, it still made her wonder if this was the young lady's idea.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly looked around warily.

The incident on the starship last time still haunts her, especially after learning that these technological civilizations often have a kind of camera.

Seeing her fear of ropes after being bitten once, Zu'an couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, it's been checked, it's safe."

Just in case, he also set up a protective barrier around himself to prevent the sound and images from spreading.

Chu Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned slightly: "I feel something is wrong. Isabella was so enthusiastic towards you before, but now she has suddenly disappeared. It doesn't make sense."

“That’s definitely not right. Last time, her father also warmly invited me over, but this time when I came, he only sent one of his old servants to receive me.” It wasn’t that Zaun had any problem with Alfred, but these details revealed too much.

"Do you think the big event they were talking about might be the visit of the Knights Templar?"

“That is indeed a big deal, but it shouldn’t be so big that they can’t spare the time to see us.”

"I understand!" Chu Chuyan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zuan was taken aback; he was still a bit confused.

"It must be some important figure in the Knights Templar who likes Isabella and is even proposing to her," Chu Chuyan deduced.

Zuan looked at him strangely: "There's too little information; such a conclusion is rather arbitrary."

“That’s probably it. That explains why Isabella didn’t come to see you,” Chu Chuyan analyzed. “I believe that Sister Bella is definitely not the kind of person who would change her mind easily. The reason she didn’t come to see you is probably because the Chamber of Commerce didn’t want the Knights Templar to misunderstand the situation, so they restricted her freedom. As for her father’s attitude, I can’t judge it.”

Zuan initially thought it was a joke, but his expression quickly turned serious: "Your analysis is indeed very likely. As for her father, he is only one of the seven elders. If the other six are inclined to marry into the Templar Order, he may not be able to stop them."

He then asked curiously, "Why did you think of that?"

“A woman’s intuition,” Chu Chuyan glared at him, “especially after spending so much time with a womanizer like you, she’ll naturally be able to guess it after experiencing so much.”

Zuan chuckled a few times and quickly changed the subject: "There's no point in thinking about it now. Let's go out for a walk and see if we can get any information."

Chu Chuyan also wanted to explore this new world, so the two of them headed out, but were quickly stopped. Of course, the words were still very polite, saying that the city was under martial law recently, and they did not have passes. If they were encountered by the patrol team, they would be in danger, and so on.

Back in her room, Chu Chuyan was still somewhat angry: "Isn't this basically putting us under house arrest?"

Zuan remained calm: "Maybe it's for protection."

"You sure know how to comfort yourself." Chu Chuyan rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

“It wouldn’t look good if we started arguing with the host family since we’re new here.” Zuan sat down leisurely on the sofa and poured a glass of wine from the refrigerator, handing it to the other person.

Chu Chuyan was somewhat surprised: "Huh, have you changed after we've been apart for so long? I remember you weren't such a docile and timid person."

"Because our best strategy right now is to wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for certain people to come knocking on our door."

Chu Chuyan was somewhat puzzled, but soon someone came to verify his statement.

A glamorous woman dressed in the stereotypical manner of a boss's secretary arrives to deliver an invitation to a dinner party the following day.

Zuan accepted the invitation: "Beautiful lady, may I ask who sent me this invitation?"

"Handsome young man, guess who it is?" The secretary laughed heartily.

"It must be Mr. Gold Desire." Actually, it wasn't hard to guess. Zaun had specifically asked Isabella about the seven elders of the Round Table.

With such a seductive secretary, one could only imagine that the Fourth Elder, with his many wives and concubines, and the lustful Mostima.

The secretary looked slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "As expected of someone valued by the Fourth Elder, tomorrow's banquet will surely be spectacular."

After saying that, she swayed her hips and left in a flirtatious manner.

After she left, Chu Chu's face turned frosty: "I don't like her."

This woman is too alluring; compared to her, the women around Zu'an are much more pleasing to the eye.

Zuan smiled and said, "They're just here to deliver an invitation."

How did you know someone would come?

"Where there are people, there is a world of intrigue. I don't believe those seven elders are a united front. Since some people don't want me to see Isabella, there must be others who do."

Chu Chuyan listened with great admiration: "You are so composed."

Zuan examined the black and gold invitation in his hand and quickly put it away: "There's nothing much going on right now, so let's rest and recharge."

Chu Chuyan's pretty face instantly flushed red: "Weren't you supposed to be conserving your energy? What do you want from me?"

"Don't you know that my cultivation method is special? The more I'm with you, the more my cultivation will grow?"

"Pah, what do you mean by being with me? You're fine with being with any woman."

"Haha, don't worry about the details, you're different."

...

The following evening, the alluring female secretary from before picked them up in a speedboat and took them to the banquet hall.
