"Okay, I agree." Ye Xingchen agreed without even thinking.
"Pinky promise." Jiu Li revealed a sly smile.
"Pinky promise." Ye Xingchen held out his hand.
The two made a pinky promise, and Jiu Li bent her hands and pointed her arms forward.
She took a deep breath and began to demonstrate the breathing technique that Ye Xingchen had taught her.
She first regulated her internal energy, and then the power hidden in her body began to flow through her arms to her entire body.
The slowly flowing energy caused fluctuations of power to appear in her palms.
Ye Xingchen was dumbfounded to find that she could now skillfully use the mental techniques she had learned to control everything, and that the power was flowing outward from her arm and then back in.
She not only mastered it, but also achieved a level of mastery that no one else could accomplish.
"This... how is this possible?" Ye Xingchen was stunned, his mind unable to process what was happening.
“I did it.” Jiu Li proudly raised her head, revealing a victor’s posture: “You can’t go back on your word.”
"Okay, okay, you did manage to do it." Ye Xingchen said, both amused and exasperated. "But I really have something to do today."
"You promised me." Jiu Li's lips began to pout, and she was starting to show some reluctance.
"Alright then." Ye Xingchen smiled wryly, "I do have something to do today, but I can take you with me."
“Okay.” Jiu Li nodded hastily. Actually, as long as she could be by Ye Xingchen’s side, nothing else mattered.
Night, Celebrity Club.
Nanjing's nightlife has always been extravagant and decadent, but this Celebrity Gathering is not exactly a place of extreme luxury.
However, this is a place that most people want to get into but don't know how to get in.
There is no other reason. If we have to find a reason, we can only say that the person in charge of Celebrity Gathering has a very important background.
On the night Ye Xingchen arrived, a banquet was in progress.
Those who could attend the banquet at the Celebrity Gathering were all prominent figures in Nanjing's social circles.
Ye Xingchen kept her promise and brought Jiu Li along. Jiu Li wore a white evening gown that perfectly accentuated her shapely figure.
She was quite young, and the childishness on her face had only just faded. Her face, untouched by the ways of the world, appeared incredibly pure, and her innocent, large eyes were so captivating that it was impossible to look away.
No one had ever seen her before. Many men were asking which company president's daughter she was, and why they had never seen her before.
Having never attended a banquet before, everything here was new and exciting to her. Holding a glass of juice, she stuffed her mouth full of cake in front of the banquet dishes, and the various fruits and drinks opened up a whole new world for her.
Jiu Li was searching for food all over the place, while Ye Xingchen was strolling around the venue with Gu Manyun. Gu Manyun was also introducing Ye Xingchen to some celebrities and people of high status in the Jinling circle.
"Jinling is a place where hidden talents abound," Ye Xingchen couldn't help but sigh.
This place is blessed with outstanding people and resources. The people Gu Manyun introduced to him were not only of distinguished status, but also exceptionally capable. They could stand on their own no matter where they were placed.
"You're overthinking it. There are plenty of elites here, but even more useless ones." Gu Manyun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Besides, you probably can't even understand what exactly makes these useless people useless."
"Then I'd better not bother trying to understand these people. They're useless, and they're not worth my time to try to understand." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
He looked around, then asked in confusion, "Has the host of the banquet not yet appeared?"
"You mean Shui Xin?" Gu Manyun smiled slightly. "This woman won't appear until the very end; she has to maintain her airs."
"Putting on airs?" Ye Xingchen was puzzled by this.
“Yes, she is Liang Erye’s woman. Liang Chenghu has had many women, but he kept her by his side the only one. He thinks she is outstanding and different from others.” Gu Manyun smiled and said, “So she always appears last, when the atmosphere is almost right.”
"Understood." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, took the two glasses of red wine from the waiter beside him, and handed one to Gu Manyun.
"That young lady you brought is quite popular." Gu Manyun looked at Jiu Li, who was now surrounded by many men, all of whom were promising young men.
They were very attentive, offering their business cards, each one appearing extremely gentlemanly and polite.
But Jiu Li ignored their attempts to please her; all she could see were the delicious snacks and drinks.
"I don't think much of these people," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
Do these pretentious bastards really think Jiu Li is an ordinary girl? It would be best if they didn't provoke Jiu Li, but if they do, they'll be in deep trouble.
"What is this girl's background? She's very strong," Gu Manyun asked.
Yes, she had witnessed Jiu Li's strength. That day, Zhang Hu's men were carrying torches and gasoline, intending to burn down her logistics center. This girl appeared just in time, alone, with only her bare hands.
However, none of Zhang Hu's dozens of thugs were able to fight back that day.
“I don’t know her true identity either.” Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, “I just met her by chance. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will uncover the mystery of her background.”
“If used properly, she can be a sharp sword.” Gu Manyun paused for a moment, “or she could be a killing machine.”
"Don't worry, I won't let her become a killing machine." Ye Xingchen frowned. Jiu Li was so cute, how could he allow her to become a ruthless killing machine?
Just as a group of men were fawning over Jiu Li, a man in a sharp suit appeared.
The man wore a custom-made Armani suit, designed by the renowned Parisian designer, Master Güell.
The clothes were designed by Master Quill himself and are made to order, meaning that each piece of clothing is unique.
Moreover, there are very few people who can get this international fashion design master to design their work, because Master Quill designs clothing exclusively for the British royal family, and his design fees are in the hundreds of millions.
Once the design is finalized, it will be personally designed by the royal tailor shop, and the materials used for the clothes will also be exclusively for the royal family.
Therefore, the clothes this man is wearing must have cost at least 300 million.
This man also has an extremely prestigious background, and his family has a very powerful family background.
So much so that after he appeared, the men who had been clinging to Jiu Li temporarily put down their pursuit of her, one of them nodding to the man in goodwill before tactfully leaving.
