"No problem, no problem. Look next door, isn't the old gentleman from the Lidal family, a family of weapons experts, here too?"
When these business rivals meet, their eyes blaze like swords and sparks fly, yet they greet each other with smiles and friendly greetings.
"Hehe, I just came to take a look. You're such a busy person, yet you still find time to stroll around?"
"I'm here to take a look at the TOEFL test."
Everyone knew the unspoken reason behind it all: the Feng family had brought out a dagger with a 100% spiritual capacity. But on their faces, they all maintained a humble and relaxed demeanor.
Therefore, when Tongsu and Yang's mother arrived, what they saw was intimate exchanges and hugs everywhere, with people pointing at the items in the display cases and complimenting each other.
“Miss Yang, our master arrived early this morning to wait for you, but he is currently tied up with some business people and cannot leave. Shall I take you to the central exhibition area to see him now?”
Steward Li Wen stood respectfully by her side, while Tong Su, holding Yang's mother's hand, smiled faintly upon hearing this: "No need, let Young Master Feng attend to his own business first. My mother and I will take a walk around."
"Alright, I'll go report to the younger master first. Please feel free to contact us anytime if you need anything."
Yang's mother gripped Tong Su's hand tightly with some trepidation: "An'an, how do you have the money to buy tickets here? I heard that the prices of tickets for sects at the exhibition have already been inflated to over a million. With this money, why not save it and use it as your tuition?"
She tried to keep her voice down, but those around her had sharp ears and had already heard her.
Most of the people who come here are social elites. Those from ordinary families couldn't even get a chance to join the sects a few days ago. Tong Su and Yang's mother, dressed in ordinary clothes, already stood out quite a bit among the group of elegant dresses.
Hearing Yang's mother say this, many of the luxuriously dressed women now showed a slight hint of contempt in their eyes.
"It's just a ticket that costs over a million dollars, and you still have to save up money to buy it? That's ridiculous..."
"Didn't that person just say something about a young master? He must have climbed up the social ladder... Tsk, to be in the same place as someone like that makes me so unhappy."
“We have important guests coming later. People like them should be kicked out!”
Hearing the hushed discussions, Yang's mother became even more uneasy, and Tongsu also felt a little regretful—she never cared about other people's opinions, so naturally she didn't care whether her clothing style was the same as others'.
She simply didn't prepare a formal dress for Yang's mother. At the time, she only thought that Yang's mother was not in good health and that casual clothes would be more comfortable. She was afraid that formal dresses would be too tight around the waist and chest, so she specially chose a casual style.
It looks ordinary, but it's not cheap.
She specially asked Young Master Feng to find a master craftsman to select the best materials and have them custom-made for Yang's mother.
As for the price, it's much more expensive than those rhinestone-studded dresses around here!
But seeing Yang's mother so panicked amidst the chatter, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Her gaze swept over the gossiping onlookers, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
She gently comforted Yang's mother, "Mom, you don't need to listen to their nonsense. Except for the opening ceremony day, there has never been a rule requiring formal attire at the Expo."
Yang's mother was skeptical: "Really?"
"Of course. These people are just dressed up to make their presence felt in front of real celebrities! We were invited by the authorities, and they're here to curry favor with their hosts. It's obvious who's superior and who's inferior, so there's no need to lower ourselves to their level."
"Alright then." Mother Yang was just relieved and was about to walk with Tongsu towards the exhibition area when she suddenly remembered something, her expression changing. "By the way, you said an invitation? Who invited us? It couldn't be that young master, could it? An'an, I'm telling you, you absolutely mustn't do anything wrong—"
She had barely finished speaking when she heard a familiar voice behind her, sneering.
"Oh, so that's why some of you looked so out of place in your shabby clothes today. So you were invited? I've never heard of the expo organizers inviting such poor guests! Don't talk nonsense here and ruin the expo's reputation!"
