Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Star Era Guide (20)
After all, Master Yin Er was the protagonist, and as soon as he settled Chuzheng, he was immediately called away.
“Hello.”
As soon as Master Yin Er left, someone approached to strike up a conversation.
“Do you remember me? We met at the auction house last time.” The person’s attitude was very good.
Chuzheng glanced at him twice and had a vague impression: “What’s up?”
Seeing that Chuzheng remembered him, the person was somewhat excited: “May I know the lady’s name?”
“Chuzheng.”
“My name is Zhang Liang, Miss Chuzheng can just call me Old Zhang.”
Chuzheng was a bit impatient and asked coldly: “What do you want?”
Zhang Liang quickly said: “It’s like this, last time Miss Chuzheng bid for RN6 at the auction. If you’re not satisfied with the bid, we can discuss it further.”
“I’m not short of money.” She had plenty of money: “No need to talk.”
Chuzheng refused decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
Zhang Liang pestered Chuzheng for a while without any success, and had to walk away disappointed.
But after Zhang Liang left, there were still Zhang Liang and Li Liang.
The people who had seen her at the auction house last time emerged one after another.

Xie Wanwan, holding He Ye’s arm, came in. She had never attended such a banquet before and felt anxious and nervous inside.
He Ye smiled and reassured her: “It’s okay, just relax.”
“Brother He, I really can’t get used to this. Should we just go back?” Xie Wanwan had looked up a lot of information right after receiving He Ye’s invitation.
But when she was actually there, Xie Wanwan still felt a bit uneasy.
“Aren’t I here with you? Don’t be afraid, attend more events like this and you’ll be fine. It’s not that difficult.”
He Ye comforted Xie Wanwan very thoughtfully.
Xie Wanwan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
Xie Wanwan was an A+ Spiritual Power Practitioner, and He Ye was subtly paving the way for her, introducing her to these upper-class people.
Xie Wanwan quickly received goodwill from many people.
“Uncle Cui.”
He Ye called out to a man.
The man turned around: “He Ye, you’re here too.”
“Uncle Cui, let me introduce you to…”
The man seemed to have something urgent and interrupted He Ye: “I still have some matters to attend to, let’s talk later.”
Without waiting for He Ye to respond, the man hurriedly went in a particular direction.
Xie Wanwan looked over there, and upon seeing, her face turned pale, and her wrist seemed to start aching intermittently.
The event in the jungle last time, what she did, Xie Wanwan could see it clearly even with her eyes closed.
But she couldn’t say anything…
Even when He Ye asked, she didn’t dare to say.
She only said that she was captured, and then she encountered those Fierce Beasts.
“Wanwan, what’s wrong?” He Ye asked hastily when he saw Xie Wanwan’s face was pale.
“No, nothing.” Xie Wanwan shook her head.
“Let me take you to rest a bit.” He Ye supported her as they walked inside.
Xie Wanwan did not oppose, and cautiously turned her head to look at Chuzheng over there.
The person He Ye had just called Uncle Cui was smiling and speaking to her, with obvious humility in his demeanor, as if he was afraid of angering her.
And that girl, with her graceful manners and calm demeanor, stood as proud as the other noble people at the banquet.
Everything around seemed to be mocking her—stolen identity chips will always be stolen.
Xie Wanwan unconsciously tightened her grip on He Ye’s hand.
She absolutely couldn’t give up like this.
Having climbed out of that place with much difficulty, she never wanted to return, to go back to that filthy world.
She had spiritual power, and she wanted to become one of the elite.
–
Chuzheng extricated herself, wandering to a less crowded area and leisurely observing the crowd.
Jing Lan arrived half an hour later, led in by Master Yin Er, causing some strange looks from the surrounding people.
But everyone knew that Master Yin Er and Jing Lan had a good relationship, and it was their venue, so it wasn’t their place to say anything about who they invited.
They were just surprised that Jing Lan dared to attend such an event.
As soon as Master Yin Er left, someone came to cause trouble for Jing Lan.
Jing Lan ignored the person, merely holding a glass of wine without drinking, until the person finished their tirade, and Jing Lan splashed the wine over them.
“Jing Lan!”
The man drenched in wine was furious.
“Do you still think you’re that genius of the Jing family? Just look at yourself now, you’re just a dog, a sinner across the whole galaxy. I’m talking to you out of respect!”
Jing Lan’s eyes slightly lowered, his handsome brows filled with impatience.
“Respecting who?”
A clear voice suddenly interjected, Jing Lan’s wrist heated up, and he was pulled back two steps.
Looking up, Jing Lan saw the girl standing in front of him.
Her back was straight, like a lofty pine or bamboo, her aura otherworldly.
The waist-fitted gown accentuated graceful curves, and the hem trailed casually on the floor, with small sequins embedded that, when illuminated, resembled the starlight of the galaxy falling down.
The man, who was in high spirits, had his words interrupted and looked suspiciously at the girl standing by Jing Lan.
He didn’t recognize the girl but noticed that many big shots were talking to her, hinting at a significant background.
Though the man was somewhat apprehensive, unsure of Chuzheng’s identity, he couldn’t back down with so many eyes watching.
If he did, how could he continue to mingle in the future?
The man raised his head: “Who… who are you?”
“You don’t need to know.” You wouldn’t recognize it even if you did. “Who were you just calling a dog?”
This little thing is not something you can insult!?
The man: “…”
What’s the meaning of this?
Looking down on him?
And saying he doesn’t need to know!
Angered, the man sneered: “Who I called is clear, isn’t he? With all those who died because of him, he has the audacity to show up. If it were me, I would have already died to apologize.”
Chuzheng seriously asked: “So why don’t you die?”
The man was choked, then turned angry: “It wasn’t me who did it, why should I go?”
Chuzheng was justified: “Because you insulted him.”
“???!!!” The man, extremely angry, laughed: “So what if I insulted him? Everyone in the galaxy is cursing him. Serves him right!”
Chuzheng’s eyes dimmed slightly, her wrist moving swiftly.
Someone approached, holding the man down and pulling him backward, facing Chuzheng. “Miss Chuzheng, sorry, my subordinate was reckless.”
The attitude was conspicuously polite.
The man was stunned.
“Mr. Du, he…”
Mr. Du glared at the man, making his spine shiver, and his heart start to pound, rendering him speechless.
Chuzheng’s fingers dropped to her side: “He just insulted Jing Lan.”
Mr. Du frowned, glancing at Jing Lan behind Chuzheng.
Jing Lan’s case was known throughout the galaxy, but to openly insult Jing Lan at such an occasion was indeed a bit impolite.
However, it was unclear how this person got involved with Jing Lan.
“Apologize,” Mr. Du turned his head and sternly commanded the man.
“There’s no need to apologize.” The man hadn’t responded yet, but Chuzheng spoke first: “The insult was made, what good is an apology now.”
