Chapter 56: Chapter 54: Kind of Like a Clown
Lin Xi: "Is our Ghost-Controlling Society’s status really that low?"
Feng Mingyu: "Didn’t you go to attend the meeting?"
Lin Xi: "Yeah, I came..."
Yun Lin: "What do you mean by low status?"
Lin Xi: "I want to go to the second floor, can’t I?"
Feng Mingyu: "What are you thinking? That place on the second floor doesn’t belong to you."
Yun Lin: "People from the Ghost-Controlling Society have no qualifications to go to the second floor."
Seeing everyone say they have no right to go to the second floor, Lin Xi was dumbfounded.
Lin Xi: "I wanted to go to the second floor to eat the meal made by the national banquet chef..."
Feng Mingyu: "罒ω罒, you don’t have the qualifications to go to the second floor, you can only eat the buffet on the first floor."
Lin Xi: "o(╥﹏╥)o.."
Yun Lin: "罒ω罒, sweating buckets now?"
Lin Xi’s expression froze.
At this moment, she finally understood why everyone advised her not to come to the meeting.
This is so embarrassing.
Yun Lin: "I think the seating arrangement is last-minute as well."
Lin Xi: "What do you mean?"
Yun Lin: "It’s that they’ll only arrange seats for you after all other guests have taken theirs."
Lin Xi: "Why?"
Feng Mingyu: "Because there’s no status."
Lin Xi: "I’m kind of regretting coming here, can I still leave now?"
Indeed, Lin Xi truly regretted coming here.
Originally thought she could bring Mo Lin to enjoy the meal prepared by the national banquet chef, but she could only enjoy the buffet.
Shi Fei slowly spoke to Lin Xi: "Now do you believe what I said? We have no qualifications to go to the second floor."
Shi Fei was very experienced, after all, he attended the meeting once last year.
Ignored by everyone throughout.
"The people here are all business elites. Another main reason we’re here is to serve as bodyguards."
Shi Fei continued: "Inviting us under the guise of a meeting is mainly to worry about someone causing trouble and having us handle it at critical moments."
"You still want the meal prepared by the banquet chef? You’re overthinking."
Lin Xi frowned, the more she looked at Shi Fei, the more she disliked him.
As Shi Fei spoke, Mo Lin casually found a spot to rest for a while.
Seeing this, Shi Fei criticized Lin Xi: "Keep an eye on your newcomer, the seats here aren’t to be taken casually."
"Did you see those people? They’re holding number tags to find their seats."
Lin Xi glanced around, and indeed, others were holding number tags to find their spots.
As for why they didn’t have number tags, Lin Xi had already guessed.
It’s about waiting for everyone to be seated, occupying any spare spots.
If there are no spare seats, then standing is the only option.
"You really got a lot of nonsense. What’s wrong with me taking a seat for a while?" Mo Lin impatiently retorted to Shi Fei.
This Shi Fei kept nagging incessantly, it was so annoying.
Lin Xi nodded and chimed in: "I also feel you’re talking too much."
Shi Fei crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Alright... I’ll shut up."
Then he saw a classy lady in a gown approach Mo Lin.
This lady wore crystal high heels, her slender legs particularly eye-catching.
"There’s a good show to watch."
Shi Fei had already guessed that this lady was displeased with Mo Lin’s seating and came to ask him to stand up.
Seeing Mo Lin indifferent, showing no sign of standing up to give space, Shi Fei criticized Mo Lin: "Can’t you see someone is looking for you? Still seated? Don’t know enough to give space?"
"Mind your own business." Mo Lin coldly countered.
"Fine..." Shi Fei snorted angrily, he really wanted to see how Mo Lin would embarrass himself.
"Mo, you’re here too?" Xianyun hurried over, warmly greeting Mo Lin.
"Long time no see."
"I came with friends." Mo Lin slowly replied.
Shi Fei’s expression stiffened.
They know each other?
Mo Lin actually knows the Xian Family’s eldest daughter?
Now, he’s just like a clown.
Lin Xi’s eyes shimmered with surprise.
Didn’t expect Mo Lin to have such connections.
"Shi Fei, don’t judge people blindly, you look like a fool," Lin Xi seized the chance to ridicule Shi Fei.
Shi Fei hung his head in shame.
People outside were gradually streaming in.
Entering now were all notable figures in Yun Chuan.
"Mo... Mo..."
Before seeing anyone, there was already a burst of enthusiastic calls.
Before people arrived, the voice had already reached.
Wang Bing spotted Mo Lin as soon as he entered, shouting enthusiastically.
Wang Bing quickened his pace and stood before Mo Lin.
"Long time no see, little bro missed you." Wang Bing flattered Mo Lin.
Shi Fei’s already unpleasant expression became even worse.
Wang Bing, the Wang Family’s first son.
His status is in no way inferior to Xianyun’s.
Moreover, Wang Bing is also a Ghost-Controlling Master, a level three Ghost-Controlling Master.
"I came with friends."
Mo Lin pointed at Lin Xi beside him and said: "Can we go to the second floor?"
"Yes! Of course, you can."
Wang Bing quickly replied, "Treat it as your own home, why be formal?"
"I just heard that I might not be able to go to the second floor." Mo Lin calmly stated.
"Who said that?" Wang Bing inquired.
Mo Lin pointed at Shi Fei and said: "Him."
Wang Bing looked at Shi Fei and then slowly said: "He can’t go to the second floor, but you can."
"He’s nothing, how could he be compared to you."
Shi Fei’s face turned beet red with fury.
This really stepped on him hard.
"You two are not on the same level, he can’t compare to you," Wang Bing added.
Speaking frankly.
What is Shi Fei?
Shi Fei is just an ordinary employee of the Purple Dragon Association.
Mo Lin has a very good relationship with Wang Bing and Xianyun.
Just on this count, Shi Fei doesn’t match Mo Lin.
Lin Xi couldn’t help but laugh.
Shi Fei was really losing face badly.
Totally embarrassed.
"Going to the second floor?" Mo Lin asked.
"Please." Wang Bing gestured politely to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin slowly proceeded to the second floor.
"Um... Can I go too?" Lin Xi pointed at herself, surprised.
"Of course, you’re Mo’s friend, come along." Xianyun said with a smile.
"Great..."
Lin Xi chuckled happily, "I’m basking in his glory... really basking in his glory."
The second floor was lavishly decorated.
Completely different from the first floor.
There were fine wines displayed on the tables.
"Mo, long time no see, have you been busy lately?" Xianyun asked Mo Lin inquisitively.
"A bit busy, been busy catching ghosts lately."
Xianyun continued: "Let me know if there’s anything I can help with."
With the topic here, Mo Lin indeed had a matter at hand.
"I promised a ghost to help her find clothes and shoes."
Xianyun’s eyes lit up, "I know... I know about this."
"A pair of embroidered shoes and a silk coat."
If it were anything else, she might not have known, but she was aware of this specific matter.
"Where is it?" Mo Lin asked puzzled.
"There’s an auction happening tomorrow, the items you want will appear there, and... I’ll take you there tomorrow."
"Okay." Mo Lin agreed with a nod.
