Chapter 194: Chapter 129: Rage_2

“Nizi’s friend, also the little sister whom I’ve watched grow up, Lu Xue, Wang Meng Jing.”

After saying this, he glanced at Lu Xue and Wang Meng Jing.

“Little Xue, Little Jing, this is Sun Hao, just call him Big Brother Hao!”

“Big Brother Hao, hello!” The two women called out together obediently, making Sun Hao’s smile even wider.

“Hello, as Chi’s little sisters, you are my little sisters too. Feel free to come to me if you need anything.”

While speaking, Sun Hao led the four of them into a private room on the inner side.

This scene caught the attention of everyone in the hall, sparking interest and a flurry of quiet gossip.

Now, Sun Hao’s position in this First Youth Group is not low. Ranking in the top three, both in terms of authority and strength, naturally he attracted the attention of many.

“Who is this guy? He gets a personal welcome from Sun Hao, and he keeps calling him ‘brother.’ Could it be some hidden big shot?”

“Big shot my ass, just an old buddy of Sun Tou from the past, also an awakened Seed of Torch with the Colorless attribute.”

“Colorless? Forget it then, what about Yuan and the others?”

“They’re in the innermost private room, entertaining some senior brothers and sisters. There’s a senior brother who graduated almost ten years ago and rumor has it that his Guidance Technique has already broken through the First Rank.”

…

As for these discussions outside, Song Chi faintly heard some of it, his hearing being extremely sensitive since he’d already gone through one Life Sublimation.

However, he didn’t pay attention to it. As long as no one publicly slandered him, he wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters.

In the private room, Sun Hao continued to chat with Song Chi for a while before he said:

“Chi, you stay here for now, I still need to welcome some people outside. I’ll come back later.”

Upon hearing this, Song Chi hadn’t even spoken when Song Ting couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Wait, I’m coming too!”

After saying this, she turned back and pouted at Song Chi, the meaning couldn’t be more clear: the private room was boring, and she wanted to go out, to taste the fruits and those drinks.

Of course, it was mainly the drinks she was after.

Knowing that the longing in her mouth was already restless, Song Chi didn’t stop her, merely nodding slightly.

“You all go then, but stay out of trouble, don’t cause any incidents!”

Song Ting, as if pardoned, nodded repeatedly, then took her two little girlfriends and followed Sun Hao out of the private room.

As the private room was left with only himself, Song Chi closed his eyes and began envisioning the Mythical Mech Projection Imprint Blueprint.

He’d fallen behind yesterday, so naturally, he couldn’t allow himself to be negligent today.

Yet, not long after, the door to the private room was opened again. The person entering took Song Chi by surprise—it was Wang Yuan.

Of course, as the leader of the First Youth Group and the initiator of this gathering, Wang Yuan was simply extending a courtesy by dropping in to say hello. He soon left again.

However, even this brief interaction raised Song Chi’s opinion of him a few notches. At least, Wang Yuan was thoughtful and his actions comfortable rather than off-putting.

After he left, Song Chi closed his eyes again and resumed his visualization.

…

In the outer hall, among the crowd, Song Ting and her two friends darted about, occasionally picking up a cup of fruit wine and taking a small sip, clearly enjoying themselves.

The excitement and alcohol made their cheeks flush with a youthful charm not fully shed from their faces, drawing frequent glances from those around them.

In a corner of the hall, several figures who were clearly older than the fresh graduates sitting around them, were lounging on sofas. Among the four—two women and two men—the tall woman seemed to have the highest status, with the other three deferring to her.

The woman, named Sun Yao, was a graduate from the Jiangyuan First Torch Academy five years ago and one of the senior brothers and sisters invited by Wang Yuan to this event.

Sun Yao’s innate gift was poor initially, merely a Colorless Seed of Torch. Her development in the first two years after awakening was almost nonexistent. It was said that due to the low configuration of her airship, she didn’t dare to explore the Alien Star Domain for half a year.

But then, somehow, she made a breakthrough. Not only did she rapidly upgrade her airship to a Spectral Airship, but her Guidance Technique also progressed rapidly. Rumor has it she reached lv9’s peak a few months ago, only a step away from breaking through to lv10.

“What do you think, Second Sister? Are you sure you want to mess with these three? This is a reunion for academy graduates. Being here means that these three have a Torch Ship Captain backing them. If things get out of hand…”

“`

At the far right end of the sofa, one of the slim men whispered a reminder.

But just then, another person came over and leaned in to whisper to Sun Yao:

“Second Boss, we’ve checked—the leading members of the youth group don’t have any sisters. However, that Sun Hao seems to know these three girls!”

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Sun Yao’s eyes as she coldly said:

“These three are all top-rank, and those guys are likely willing to pay a hefty sum. As for Sun Hao, since they aren’t his sisters or anything, we’ll just cut him in later!”

“Ready up, prepare to make a move!”

…

“Giggle, Tingting, I told you not to drink from that cup, and you wouldn’t believe me. Are you feeling dizzy now?”

“I’m not dizzy at all, let’s keep drinking!”

Inside the hall, Song Ting and the two other girls continued to dart around excitedly.

“Ah!”

A figure emerged from around the corner, and just then collided with Wang Meng Jing, who was walking too quickly. Fortunately, she wasn’t holding a glass at the time, so it wasn’t too serious.

Nonetheless, Wang Meng Jing quickly bent down to apologize.

“I’m sorry, sister, it wasn’t on purpose.”

The woman opposite her, with a full figure and bright red lipstick, smiled slightly and said softly:

“It’s okay, no need to apologize, but the hall is crowded, so you should be more careful.”

“Okay, thank you, sister.” Wang Meng Jing bowed politely once more.

After this incident, the three girls lost their zest for horsing around and found a sofa in the corner to sit down on.

As time passed, more and more people arrived, and the hall became even livelier. When it was time, the hotel started serving the meal.

It has to be said, while the First Youth Group didn’t choose a high-end hotel, the dishes they ordered were quite numerous, and the three girls left satisfied.

After the meal, it was time for the main purpose of the First Youth Group’s event—to attract customers.

The final result seemed quite successful, as at least Song Chi could see a full smile on Wang Yuan’s face.

However, during this period, he had nothing to do. Nowadays, all his exploration loot was sold in the Ruins Market to minimize the risk of exposure.

Time flew by quickly, and more than an hour later, the members of the First Youth Group announced the end of the gathering.

Suddenly, hundreds of guests rose to leave at once.

Among the crowd, Song Chi, along with the three somewhat dizzy girls, followed the mob towards the exit.

Suddenly, a tremor passed through the Cang Qiong’s Ancestral Aperture in his brows and a halo of light flashed around the ship’s body.

While he was puzzled, the halo eventually settled on Wang Meng Jing of the three girls behind him.

The halo was the Purification Aura emitted by the Abnormal Status Purifier, and on Wang Meng Jing, there was a subtle mark.

“Who is it!”

Suddenly, a gloomy voice, bolstered by First Rank Spectral Energy, echoed in the ears of everyone on the fourth floor of the hotel.

Startled by the sudden outburst, the crowd, which was heading out, came to a halt, as all eyes shifted to look at Song Chi who had raised his voice.

Sun Hao and Wang Yuan behind him squeezed through, looking puzzled, before Sun Hao finally asked:

“Brother Chi, what’s wrong?”

Song Chi didn’t answer, but he gently waved his hand to remove the effect of the alcohol from the three girls. As the drunkenness dissipated, Wang Meng Jing’s complexion turned slightly pale; clearly, she felt the mark being cleansed from her by the Abnormal Status Purifier.

Seeing the silence in the hall and no one responding, Song Chi’s face turned completely cold. The Spectral Energy inside him circulated at full force, creating a formidable pressure enveloping the entire fourth floor. He spoke again:

“I’m asking one more time, who left that Tracking Mark on her!”

PS: I still have to write a chapter about Shen Youran tomorrow, and then we’ll leave behind these everyday life scenes. Don’t keep saying it’s filler; I still need to address everything clearly!
