Chapter 1413: Chapter 1410: Various Forces Make Their Entrance (Fourth Update)

Soon after, Ren Tianqi slouched in a corner chair, looking utterly dejected, gulping down large mouthfuls of alcohol.

"Don’t you have anything to say?" Luo Jian asked indifferently.

Ren Tianqi trembled all over and then gave a bitter laugh. "Say what? Didn’t you see? The Family Heads and elders of both my family and the Tan Family have already arrived. But has anyone cared about how I feel?"

At this, Ren Tianqi painfully grabbed at his hair, his eyes filled with a feral glint, like one ready to devour. "I wish I could kill that bitch right now, but can you believe it? I don’t even have the strength to take her down!"

Ren Tianqi’s voice wavered with a hint of sobbing, clearly on the verge of breaking down.

Luo Jian remained silent for a moment, then calmly lifted his head and said softly, "Brother Tianqi, do you... want to change your fate?"

Just as Ren Tianqi described, Tan Xiyao was indeed thrilled at the moment.

As an illegitimate daughter of the family, she originally had no chance to stand out. The best she could hope for was to be treated as a bargaining chip, traded to another family.

Her engagement to the Ren Family’s second son, Ren Tianqi, was precisely such a transaction.

But fate had its own plans. This time, her sister Tan Feiwen, who had gone out on an errand with Ren Family’s first son, Ren Tianyun, had not yet returned.

This unexpected twist gave her the opportunity to attend the gathering.

At first, Tan Xiyao only wanted to latch onto a legitimate heir from either the Luo Family or some other elite family.

She even considered approaching the seventh young master of the Luo Family, Luo Jian, if all else failed.

After all, for someone as ambitious as her, marrying anyone would be better than marrying Ren Tianqi.

But never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that someone from the Wei Family of the Central Ghost Realm would show up, and that someone was none other than the young master of the Wei Family.

With such a surprise gift placed before her, how could Tan Xiyao let the opportunity slip away?

And when the Tan Family heard of her intentions, they expressed their full support without hesitation.

After all, compared to the benefits they could gain, offending a second son of the Ren Family was insignificant.

Thus, Tan Xiyao spent her entire day dressing herself to perfection, all in the hopes of stealing the spotlight at the banquet.

If she could seize this chance to form a connection with the Wei Family’s young master, it would be perfect!

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Tan Xiyao’s interest in associating with members of the Luo Family waned considerably, let alone Ren Tianqi...

She couldn’t even be bothered to spare him a glance.

Little did she know what Ren Tianqi was currently going through.

When Ren Tianqi finished listening to Luo Jian’s whispered words, his eyes gradually widened. He looked at Luo Jian with a probing gaze.

"What you said... is it true?"

Luo Jian nodded solemnly. "Of course, it’s true!"

Ren Tianqi let out a long breath, his expression turning grave. "But... but is this really possible?"

After a pause, Luo Jian finally replied slowly, "I think it’s possible. And even if it fails, can our situation really get any worse than it is now?"

That statement struck a chord in Ren Tianqi. He pondered for a moment before nodding heavily.

"I understand now. What do I need to do?"

"Are you certain you’ve thought this through? Once you make this decision, your family..." Luo Jian asked.

"Family... Ha! Do you think my family has ever treated me as one of their own?" Ren Tianqi’s face twisted in resentment. "In their eyes, there’s only Ren Tianyun. I’m nothing but a disposable backup!"

"So yes, I’ve thought it through! I’m in!"

Luo Jian nodded. "Very well! Then prepare yourself. Once the esteemed one arrives, we will act when the moment is right!"

"Understood!"

Ren Tianqi’s earlier despair disappeared, replaced by a cold, piercing gaze that swept over the distant figure of Tan Xiyao, who was extravagantly posturing in the spotlight, a look of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

As for the insults or slander from others, he couldn’t care less.

At that moment, Luo Xuan strode into the room wearing a long dress, exuding an air of unrelenting arrogance.

Her arrival elicited gasps from many of the women present.

She coldly scanned the room before heading straight toward a corner and seating herself without a word.

Such an imposing presence caused the chatter among Tan Xiyao and her group to die down noticeably.

But before the crowd could recover, Luo Qifeng made his entrance, followed closely by Wei Qingxiao and Wei Haocang, the siblings.

Their appearance instantly sparked a silent uproar in the room.

Especially when the crowd noticed that Luo Qifeng, always haughty and distant, was smiling warmly and acting deferentially. It was nothing short of shocking.

Yet Luo Qifeng couldn’t be bothered with the reactions around him. He beamed as he spoke, "Miss Wei, it seems that nearly everyone has arrived. Please, take your seat!"

As he spoke, Luo Gaoyang, the Family Head of the Luo Family, along with other elders and heads of various powerful families, stepped up one after another to greet them.

"Greetings, Miss Wei, Young Master Wei!"

"That’s right, welcome, Miss Wei, to our humble gathering!"

Voices of polite flattery filled the air.

Wei Qingxiao smiled graciously and nodded. "Thank you all!"

However, she noticed that the gazes of many were fixed on Wei Haocang.

After all, Wei Haocang was now the Young Master of the Wei Family!

With this thought, Wei Qingxiao gave a soft sigh in her heart and then said with a smile, "The Young Master doesn’t speak much, but he is delighted to meet everyone here!"

Those listening showed delighted expressions, nodding respectfully at Wei Haocang.

But Luo Gaoyang and a select few discreetly exchanged puzzled glances, an unspoken question passing between them.

To their eyes, Wei Haocang certainly appeared impressive—refined, poised, and flawless. Surely there was nothing amiss.

Yet Wei Qingxiao’s explanation felt... peculiar.

It’s fine if someone isn’t talkative.

Important figures are often reserved; that’s understandable.

But why did she feel the need to explain?

And why did this Wei Family Young Master’s attention appear to be elsewhere, somewhere in the distance?

What was he looking at?

Luo Gaoyang’s eyes followed his line of sight unobtrusively and saw a grand dining table laden with exquisite food and delicacies.

Huh?

Suspicion flickered across his mind, but Luo Gaoyang didn’t let it show. Instead, he broke into an effusive smile and said, "Since that’s the case, please take your seat!"

He personally led the way, guiding the Wei siblings to the raised platform.

All eyes were on the Wei siblings.

Tan Xiyao, in particular, looked at Wei Haocang with such adoration that her gaze seemed as if it might melt him on the spot. She wished nothing more than to throw herself at him at that very moment.

Meanwhile, Luo Xuan’s icy stare remained firmly locked on Wei Qingxiao. Her expression grew even more venomous as she watched Luo Qifeng walking side by side with Wei Qingxiao, occasionally conversing and laughing. Jealousy roared within her like a wildfire.

Yet these subtle tensions were caught only by the likes of Luo Jian and a few others. To the majority of the crowd, they went unnoticed.

Ren Tianqi, growing increasingly anxious, leaned closer and whispered urgently, "Seventh Young Master, the banquet’s about to start. Why hasn’t the person arrived yet?"

"Don’t worry, they should be here very soon!" Though Luo Jian’s nerves were taut, he forced himself to remain steady as he answered.

Just as he spoke, Luo Jingting timidly entered the room from the doorway.

And following behind her, walking with unruffled composure, was none other than Xue An.
