"Mr. Lu, Young Master Li said that he has prepared a welcome dinner for you tomorrow night. Please make your preparations in advance."
Zhang Ya approached Lu Yuan and timidly began to speak.
In the morning, she came to this villa to serve as assigned by the housekeeper. However, ever since she arrived at this villa, she has always felt a faint gaze following her from behind, as if it came from the visiting Mr. Lu.
She didn't know why she had attracted this man's attention, and under his gaze, she felt uneasy and restless.
Therefore, she appeared rather reserved when facing Lu Yuan.
"Okay, do I need to prepare anything in advance?"
Lu Yuan seemed oblivious to Zhang Ya's unusual behavior and asked her question calmly.
"You don't need to do anything. There will be dedicated personnel to assist you. You just need to be mentally prepared beforehand," Zhang Ya replied respectfully.
"All right."
Lu Yuan nodded lightly, indicating that he already knew, and at the same time, his mind began to race.
Unexpectedly, Li Xingchi would prepare a special banquet for him, but perhaps he could use this banquet to begin implementing his plans.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan turned to look at Zhang Ya.
Where will tomorrow's banquet be held?
“At the main residence.” Zhang Ya blurted out without thinking. “I heard that Young Master Li invited many powerful and influential families to attend. It’s quite a large event. It’s clear that Young Master Li values you very much.”
That's the truth.
Zhang Ya had never seen Li Xingchi settle guests he brought back from outside into the manor, let alone prepare a welcome party for them.
These two points alone show that Lu Yuan holds a high position in Li Xingchi's heart.
Most importantly.
Tomorrow night, many well-known forces and families in the Myriad Realms will be invited, a privilege reserved for important members of the family.
but.
Lu Yuan's thoughts, however, differed from Zhang Ya's.
In his view, the main purpose of Li Xingchi's invitation to everyone to hold a welcome banquet was to announce his own abilities to the outside world, thereby promoting his family's strength to other families and consolidating the Li family's position in the Myriad Realms Heaven, and not just because he was valued.
However, none of this mattered to Lu Yuan.
His only goal was to find Li Liuxin's whereabouts.
Lu Yuan's eyes darted around, and he looked at Zhang Ya with feigned difficulty.
"To be honest, I don't even know where the main house is. This estate is just too big. What if I get lost?"
Zhang Ya naturally knew that Lu Yuangang had only recently arrived at the Li Family Manor. Even she herself had only figured out the layout of the entire manor after working there for a while. Given Lu Yuangang's recent arrival, it was normal that he didn't know the locations and routes.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Ya bit her lower lip and spoke.
"Then I'll take you to the main house tomorrow."
Upon hearing this answer, Lu Yuan slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
...
the next day.
Lu Yuan was still diligently cultivating in the training room when he suddenly sensed a knocking sound coming from outside the space. Without bothering to tidy up, he quickly left the Beast Taming Space.
"What's up?"
Upon opening the door, Lu Yuan saw Zhang Ya standing respectfully at the doorway, looking somewhat nervous.
"Mr. Lu, the designer has arrived at the villa. Please come downstairs to choose the outfit you will wear tonight's banquet."
"Okay, I'll pack quickly and head over."
After closing the door, Lu Yuan quickly washed up and patted his face as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"Before the dinner party ends tonight, we need to find a way to confirm whether Li Liuxin is at the Li family home, and it would be best to confirm her location directly."
After reviewing the execution plan in his mind once again, Lu Yuan dressed neatly and went downstairs, where rows of clothes racks were already set up in the living room.
"Mr. Lu, these are all the latest custom-made styles. You can choose any one of them to attend tonight's dinner."
A man who looked like a designer, standing next to the clothes rack, stepped forward and respectfully spoke to Lu Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded to him, then turned to look at the clothes rack in front of him.
The dazzling array of clothing hanging on the racks made Lu Yuan a little overwhelmed. In the end, he randomly pointed to a casual suit that looked relatively understated and easy to move in.
"This one will do."
Following the direction Lu Yuan pointed, the designer nodded knowingly, and then the servants waiting nearby began to help Lu Yuan try on the clothes.
After nearly half an hour of busy work, the task of choosing clothes was finally completed.
Watching the crowd retreat in droves, Lu Yuan couldn't help but silently complain.
"It's all thanks to my decisive choice. If it were a picky girl who loves beauty, she would probably have wasted most of her day just on choosing clothes."
Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Yuan lost the will to continue cultivating and began to eat breakfast while listening to Zhang Ya report on the day's itinerary.
"The banquet will begin at seven o'clock. You just need to arrive at the main house before then." Zhang Ya recalled the instructions she had received earlier, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Although Lu Yuan is nominally the main character of tonight's banquet, it doesn't really matter whether she is present throughout the entire event or not; it seems as if she just wants to use him for something.
Lu Yuan was not too surprised when he heard this, and simply nodded.
"I see."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and looked up at Zhang Ya.
"Then I'd appreciate it if you could show me around before the dinner starts."
