Chu Mengyao nodded. Since Ye Bufan said so, Chu Mengyao believed that Ye Bufan was capable of handling it. Especially now that Chu Mengyao was also a cultivator, she knew what the late stage of Core Formation meant for the cultivators on Blue Star.
"Ye Bufan, your social media account has surpassed one hundred million! And it's still climbing. You've made it, you've truly made it!" Wang Xinyan suddenly exclaimed excitedly. Ye Qingcheng took her phone and looked, and indeed, Ye Bufan's social media account followers were still increasing.
"What's the big deal? I don't play those things anyway," Ye Bufan said.
Ye Bufan wasn't interested in the things Wang Xinyan was talking about. For Ye Bufan, his current focus was on how to improve his strength.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. You all stay here with Ye Bufan. I'll go check the various entrances," Ye Qingyi said and then left the City Lord's Mansion.
Chu Mengyao, Wang Xinyan, and Ye Qingcheng walked forward and surrounded Ye Bufan.
"Ye Bufan, Qingcheng sister already live-streamed today's battle for us. It was absolutely incredible. Especially when you fought two against one, you were so awesome!" Wang Xinyan's eyes sparkled. "When can I be like you and have the strength to fight two against one?"
"As long as you cultivate diligently, you can achieve it," Chu Mengyao said to Wang Xinyan.
Ye Bufan nodded and said, "With your physique and talent, you can reach this level one day."
Wang Xinyan, instead of being happy, rolled her eyes. "Your speech is just like a boss giving empty promises to their employees. It holds no attraction for me."
Ye Bufan exchanged a helpless look with Chu Mengyao. Then Ye Bufan said, "Your physique is a rare Innate Dao Body, which allows you to comprehend cultivation techniques and spells faster than others. I'm not lying to you."
Wang Xinyan looked at Ye Bufan, still a little unconvinced.
"If you don't believe me, next time you go to Taiyi Divine Sect to cultivate, you can ask the residual souls there. They wouldn't lie to you, would they?" Ye Bufan said.
"Fine, fine. I'll grudgingly believe you then," Wang Xinyan said with a show of reluctance.
"Let's go. I'm treating tonight. I'll take you all out to eat," Ye Qingcheng said to Chu Mengyao, Wang Xinyan, and Ye Bufan. "Consider it a celebration banquet for Ye Bufan. I have to say, Ye Bufan's great victory today was so satisfying to watch."
"Let's go, let's go!" As soon as Wang Xinyan heard Ye Qingcheng was treating, she immediately said, "I've always heard that there are many delicious foods in Kyoto. I haven't had a chance to try them yet since arriving here."
They left as soon as they decided. Ye Qingcheng had already booked a table in advance, at the Yueban Hotel, which Ye Bufan had visited before.
As soon as Ye Qingcheng appeared, Jiang Xuanji rushed out from the Yueban Hotel. Jiang Xuanji was slightly taken aback when she saw Ye Bufan. The last time Ye Bufan was at Yueban Hotel, he had caused the hotel to be completely surrounded.
This time, Ye Bufan appeared again, just as his social media account was experiencing a surge in followers.
Seeing Ye Bufan, Jiang Xuanji nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Ye, we meet again."
Ye Bufan nodded. Jiang Xuanji then shifted her gaze to Wang Xinyan and Chu Mengyao.
"Ye Bufan, you seem quite familiar with this manager," Wang Xinyan detected a hint of gossip.
Jiang Xuanji smiled slightly and said, "You must be the eldest daughter of the Chu family from Jinhe. I've heard much about you, leading the Chu family to prosperity. The Chu family's strength is now no less than that of the families in Kyoto."
After speaking, Jiang Xuanji politely stepped forward and shook hands with Chu Mengyao.
"Previously, Mr. Ye was dining here with the new generation leaders of several Kyoto families, so I had met Mr. Ye before," Jiang Xuanji explained to Chu Mengyao during the handshake.
Chu Mengyao smiled slightly and said, "Ye Bufan tells me everything. I know about this. I heard at the time that it wasn't the current A-list star Yao Tong and her agent, was it?"
"What?" Wang Xinyan's ears perked up at the mention of Yao Tong, and she turned to Chu Mengyao.
"The Yao Tong you're talking about, is it the fairy-like Yao Tong? The female lead in several recent hit dramas, Yao Tong who recently started her own venture?" Wang Xinyan asked excitedly.
Chu Mengyao nodded. Wang Xinyan clapped her hands. "What a shame, what a shame. If I had known earlier, I should have asked Ye Bufan to help me get an autograph or something. Yao Tong's autograph is very valuable now. Especially since everyone thinks Yao Tong might retreat behind the scenes after starting her own venture. In the future, it would be a rare, collectible autograph!"
"That's not true. I won't be retreating behind the scenes anytime soon."
Just as Wang Xinyan was speaking, Yao Tong's voice unexpectedly sounded from beside them. Everyone turned to look.
"I... My goodness! It's Yao Tong!" Wang Xinyan exclaimed excitedly.
"Calm down, calm down!" Chu Mengyao said to Wang Xinyan.
"Miss Yao, please come in. Your private room is ready," Jiang Xuanji said to Yao Tong. "I'll have someone escort you in now."
"No rush," Yao Tong smiled. "Mr. Ye left in a hurry last time, and I hadn't had a chance to thank him properly. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Ye again today. It's a good opportunity to thank you sincerely."
Yao Tong turned to Ye Bufan, clasped her hands in a salute, and said to him, "Mr. Ye is a Core Formation God of War. I will salute you in the manner of a martial artist."
"No need. I believe anyone would have stepped forward in such a situation," Ye Bufan said.
"How about this then? To show my gratitude, this young lady wanted my autograph, right? I can give her one, and if she needs anything in the future, she can come to me." Yao Tong took out her business card from her pocket and handed it to the four of them: Wang Xinyan, Chu Mengyao, Ye Qingcheng, and Ye Bufan.
"Can you really give me an autograph?" Wang Xinyan's eyes lit up. She asked Jiang Xuanji, "Do you have a pen? I want Yao Tong to sign it for me."
Seeing this, Chu Mengyao helplessly shook her head and reminded her, "Xinyan, ask her to go inside first. What if she's in a hurry? You can find Miss Yao later when she's done."
"It's alright. Friends of Mr. Ye are my friends. This is the least I can do to thank Mr. Ye," Yao Tong said.
