"Everyone, let's not linger here, shall we? It's not ideal for either Miss Yao or Ye Bufan to be in public for too long right now, otherwise, my hotel's business will be ruined," Jiang Xuanji said.
"That's right," Ye Bufan added. "You can get their private room later and go see her directly."
Wang Xinyan heard this and could only say, "Alright, alright then."
And so, Yao Tong's group and Ye Bufan's group entered Moon Half Hotel. The moment they walked in, both parties drew the attention of all the guests on the first floor.
"Oh my god, isn't that Yao Tong?"
"Bro, aren't you watching the news? Didn't you see the guy in that group next to her?"
"Is that... Ye Bufan?"
Seeing Ye Bufan, someone in the hall exclaimed.
"It's really the Martial God Ye Bufan! I heard she's already reached the late Nascent Soul stage and is fighting against the Martial Gods who came to our Nine Provinces. Fighting two against one, it's so satisfying."
"They say Ye Bufan is about to enter the Core Formation realm."
Ye Bufan chuckled helplessly as he overheard these discussions. Then, he saw those martial artists crowding around.
"Where's your room? I'm leaving now," Ye Bufan asked Jiang Xuanji.
"Still the Imperial Suite, room number one," Jiang Xuanji transmitted to Ye Bufan.
Ye Bufan glanced back at Chu Mengyao, who nodded at him. Ye Bufan then vanished from everyone's sight.
"Where did Ye Bufan go? The Martial God Ye Bufan?"
"My god, he just disappeared right before our eyes. When will I ever be able to move like that, traceless and unseen?"
"Stop dreaming. Talk about that when you reach the Martial Saint realm."
"Ye Bufan is gone, but there's still a big star here. Quick, go get her autograph! That's Yao Tong."
Some young men and even goddesses had already surrounded Yao Tong, asking for her autograph. Yao Tong sighed inwardly. She had worked so hard for so long, yet in the end, appearing with Ye Bufan, all the attention was on him.
Behind Yao Tong, her manager, Zhang Ting, found an excellent opportunity to trend. She could leverage the simultaneous appearance of Ye Bufan and Yao Tong at Moon Half Hotel for some marketing, pushing Yao Tong's popularity to another level.
In Zhang Ting's opinion, having Yao Tong rumored to be in a relationship with Ye Bufan could significantly boost Yao Tong's popularity, creating a vast gap in traffic and attention between her and the emerging stars.
Yao Tong finally managed to break through the crowd. She and Zhang Ting interacted with the fans for a while before entering their private room.
Meanwhile, Ye Bufan, Chu Mengyao, Wang Xinyan, Ye Qingcheng, and the others also arrived at the Imperial Suite, room number one.
"Every time I come here, I feel like I'm home," Ye Qingcheng said, nodding with satisfaction as she looked at the environment of the Imperial Suite.
"Isn't this your family's asset?" Ye Bufan said without hesitation.
Ye Qingcheng's expression changed. She looked at Ye Bufan and said, "What are you talking about? This is an asset of the Underground City, not our Ye family's asset."
"Alright, alright, I'll introduce you to the delicacies of the capital," Ye Qingcheng said, changing the subject.
"Ah! You guys, look quickly! Ye Bufan is trending!" As Ye Qingcheng was about to introduce the capital's cuisine to everyone, Wang Xinyan suddenly exclaimed.
"Damn it! Is Yao Tong serious? This trending topic is too fake! How can they create a CP with such a distance?" Wang Xinyan complained as she looked at the trending content. "This makes it seem like Yao Tong is trying to leech off Ye Bufan's popularity."
Chu Mengyao couldn't help but frown. She took out her phone and looked at the trending situation. Ye Qingcheng, seeing this, also quickly checked the trending topics.
"Oh my god? No way, my male and female gods are together?"
"I've got nothing else to say, wishing you both 99 years together."
"Damn it! Is Ye Bufan blind? He's interested in trash like that?"
Chu Mengyao's brows furrowed as she read the trending content. Seeing Chu Mengyao's expression, Ye Bufan knew she was a bit bothered by this.
Ye Bufan silently took out his phone, opened a social media app, and quietly selected a photo of Chu Mengyao from his album, then edited a short message.
"How can one achieve both the Buddha and the beauty, pleasing both the monk and his love?" After editing, Ye Bufan clicked send.
Two minutes later, Wang Xinyan exclaimed again, "Holy crap, what's going on? The trending topic is now about Ye Bufan's official announcement?"
Chu Mengyao looked up at Ye Bufan in surprise. Ye Bufan, sitting beside her, placed his phone in front of her. Seeing it, Chu Mengyao's entire face broke into a smile.
"Oh my god. The Martial God is so bold! Ye Bufan, you are my role model."
"Ye Bufan isn't announcing anything here; he's giving his girlfriend a sense of security. This is so exciting. So cool."
"Hahahaha, I said why would Ye Bufan be interested in that kind of celebrity? Isn't this girl prettier than those stars?"
Ye Bufan's comment section exploded, especially with Yao Tong's fans who came to his official announcement post and started a verbal war.
"Ye Bufan, it was an honor for our Tong Tong to create a CP with you. Why are you being so unappreciative?"
"Hahaha, did I read that right? It's clearly Yao Tong trying to gain traffic but failing. Do you think Ye Bufan cares about Yao Tong's traffic? Look at how many fans Ye Bufan has and how many Yao Tong has."
"This... this is truly shameless. The person already has a girlfriend, yet they insist on being bundled together for publicity. Have they no shame at all?"
The overall trend on the social platform was that Ye Bufan's martial artists and followers began to retaliate, leaving Yao Tong's fans speechless for a time.
Seeing that they couldn't defeat Ye Bufan, they started preparing to dig up Chu Mengyao's information.
However, to their surprise, upon seeing Chu Mengyao's resume, both Yao Tong's fans and Ye Bufan's fans were stunned.
Today, the Chu family's assets and standing were unparalleled in Jinhe, and when compared to families in the capital, they were more than capable of challenging them.
"Is this perhaps not a good idea?" Chu Mengyao looked at Ye Bufan. "The atmosphere on social media is truly terrifying."
Ye Bufan smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. This matter needs to be known by everyone."
Chu Mengyao smiled knowingly, her heart filled with joy. Meanwhile, in Yao Tong's private room, where she was having dinner with a business partner.
Taking advantage of a break, Zhang Ting happily took out her phone, ready to check her results. However, the moment she saw the trending topic, Zhang Ting was utterly dumbfounded.
