182: Chapter 182 The Banquet at the Glass Palace

However, just at this moment.

Another attendant responsible for intelligence gathering flashed instantly to her side and reported the situation in a low voice.

"Miss, the background of Mr. Chen Yi that you asked us to urgently investigate—we have results, but—it's very strange."

"Speak!"

"We utilized numerous channels, but the information we could find is extremely scarce!"

"He seems to have appeared out of thin air. There are no records of parents or relatives, his early education records are completely blank, and he only appeared in Jiangcheng about two years and eight months ago. His activity trajectory before that is almost zero."

"It's as if someone deliberately erased everything, or he simply isn't..."

In this era of advanced information, it is almost impossible to completely erase a person's past.

Unless it involves forces at an extremely high level, or the person themselves has major issues.

"Boom—"

This news directly shook Yun Zhiyao to her core!

Background a mystery!

No activity trajectory!

Coupled with The girls around him who suddenly awakened powerful bloodlines and his unimaginable Saint-level speed—

All the clues seemed to connect at this moment, pointing to one only reasonable explanation—Chen Yi's background is absolutely not simple!

It is even possible that it is a family with a status even more powerful than the Luo Family!

It's just that for some reason, they cannot be brought to the table and can only master the flow of the world through secret layouts!

Only such a family could directly erase a person's activity trajectory!

She really didn't dare to think about such a family!

Yun Zhiyao took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm.

"No need to investigate further!"

She looked at the attendant again and ordered, "The invitation for tonight's banquet must be delivered to his hands. I must see him tonight!"

"Yes!"

At dusk, Chen Yi and his group prepared to set off for the Glass Palace.

When The girls had changed into their evening gowns and walked out one by one.

Even though Chen Yi was accustomed to their beauty, he couldn't help but brighten up at this moment.

Lin Mengxue wore an ice-blue floor-length gown, which set off her skin as fair as snow, making her as cold and pure as a fairy from the Moon Palace;

Luo Shiyin chose a cyan gradient gown, resembling the wings of a green phoenix; it was elegant and noble, accentuating her extremely enchanting figure;

Su Taotao wore a cute pink-and-white puffy skirt, spinning around excitedly: "Brother Chen Yi, does it look good?"

Yan Jiuyue was the boldest, wearing a wine-red, deep-cleavage, backless mermaid dress that outlined her devilish figure to perfection. Her beautiful eyes were full of charm, as if she were asking Little Brother Chen Yi: "Little Brother Chen Yi, does this look good on me? Do you want me to wear this to play with you tonight?"

The twins, Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong, wore white and black sister-style short gowns, respectively—one as holy as an angel, the other as enchanting as an elf. The two held onto Chen Yi's arms, one on the left and one on the right, and said in unison: "Husband, Hubby, who looks better?"

Chu Feiyu wore a gold-plated strapless dress, her cheeks slightly flushed, as if she felt it was too bold—

Chen Yi felt surrounded by a sea of beautiful women and peerless beauty, his breath slightly hitching.

He coughed twice, pretending to be calm: "All good-looking, all good-looking! Let's go, I feel like we're about to be late!"

He himself changed into a well-tailored black suit and left the hotel with The girls.

When their group arrived at the Glass Palace by private car, the sensation caused was imaginable.

In front of the Glass Palace, luxury cars gathered, and the air was filled with the scent of perfume and the rustle of fine clothing.

But when Chen Yi stepped out of the car with eight female companions of distinct styles, all eyes were instantly drawn to them.

"My god—who are those girls?"

"What right does that man in the middle have—to actually have so many beauties accompanying him?"

"Are you stupid? That person is Chen Yi!"

"So he is Chen Yi? Oh my god! He's much more handsome in person than in photos!"

Exclamations, criticisms, and jealous whispers rose one after another.

Just then, another, louder commotion came from the entrance.

Yun Zhiyao had arrived.

She wore a custom-made sky-blue starry gown, as if studded with the starry sky, flowing and flickering with her every step.

Her appearance was already at a ceiling-level existence, and now, with light makeup, she was even more breathtakingly beautiful.

The ethereal temperament brought by her mermaid bloodline complemented her beauty even more, instantly becoming the absolute focus of the entire venue, attracting all the exclamations and gazes.

"It's Miss Yun Zhiyao! So beautiful!"

"Ah! I'm dead! Died from beauty!"

"By the way, why didn't we see Bai Song come with her?"

"Don't mention that pretty boy; isn't it better to focus on admiring Miss Yun Zhiyao now?"

---

Yun Zhiyao seemed to have long been accustomed to such scenes of being the center of attention.

Her expression was calm, her gaze swept across the room indifferently, and finally landed on Chen Yi and his group, who were equally eye-catching.

Seeing the group of girls around Chen Yi, all competing in beauty and not inferior in the slightest.

Her eyes fluctuated slightly, then she revealed a faint smile and nodded slightly toward Chen Yi and the others.

Chen Yi also nodded in response, without saying anything more.

Entering the banquet hall, the auction had not yet started; it was social dance time.

Chen Yi knew nothing about social dancing and had no interest in learning.

He found a sofa in a corner to sit down, took a glass of juice, and leisurely watched the crowd on the dance floor.

Some of The girls went to get snacks, while others talked in low voices in twos and threes, seeming very adept at such scenes.

As for men trying to hit on them—that naturally did not exist!

Chen Yi was now considered a celebrity in Yanjing, and there was no need to try to pick up beauties and end up ruining himself or his family; that would be funny.

Just as the dance was reaching its climax.

A somewhat disheveled but aggressive figure found Chen Yi.

It was Lei Han, who had just been defeated by Bai Song in the afternoon and had met Chen Yi once before!

His head was still wrapped in bandages, and his face was somewhat pale, but the anger in his eyes had not diminished at all.

"Chen Yi!"

Lei Han sat down opposite Chen Yi, gritting his teeth, "You saw the competition this afternoon, right? Damn it, that villain Bai Song, relying on having a slightly higher level—bah! I refuse to accept it!"

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow: "So?"

"Help me out!"

Lei Han said viciously, "You're going to duel that thing tomorrow, right? As long as you can make that guy Bai Song make a fool of himself, I'm willing to pay any price!"

Chen Yi looked at Lei Han's appearance, then recalled the boring competition during the day and the auction that was about to start.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him, and he revealed a playful smile.

"Help you? Sure!"

Chen Yi said slowly, "However, I don't need to do it myself; you should be able to make him make a big fool of himself, and—you can also make him bleed money!"

Lei Han's eyes lit up: "How? Tell me!"

Chen Yi beckoned with his finger, and Lei Han immediately leaned over.

Listening to Chen Yi's whispering, Lei Han's expression changed from confusion to surprise, and finally to wild joy and suppressed laughter.

"Brilliant! Simply brilliant! Brother Chen, you are truly a genius! No, you are a devil! Hahahaha!"

Lei Han excitedly slapped his thigh, "Let's do it! Don't worry, leave everything to me! The Lei Family will cover the handling fees! I'll see if Bai Song doesn't lose a layer of skin even if he doesn't die this time!"
