Chapter 733: Chapter 506 Snow Clan, Lu Family
That was a humanoid creature with a tower-shaped head and four eyes that looked like dull sapphires.
It had strong arms full of wrinkles, and its fingers were composed of four parallel toes.
At this moment, the two “creatures” stood next to the entrance, sipping drinks, their eight eyes staring in Mu Fan’s direction.
Mu Fan returned their gaze with a cold look.
The moment their eyes met…
“I smell a strong aura. Hello, two humans, we are from the Lanta Clan of the Mutak Planet, Olevdin.”
“Olevdin.”
“Two mighty ones, it’s a pleasure to share this place with you. May we have the honor of knowing your names?”
It must be said that these two Lanta elites truly lived up to their name, at least they reacted much quicker than Mu Fan had expected!
As soon as Mu Fan’s cold gaze had shifted towards them, they responded promptly.
“Mu Fan.”
“Lu Qingxue.”
“We have noted that, the conversation is a pleasure,” the two Lanta people said as they shook their glasses.
Their sly approach made Mu Fan a bit uncomfortable, including Lu Qingxue who also felt uneasy.
The hall of the Space Station was very spacious, at least as large as the reception hall of Manor One as far as Mu Fan could see.
After leaving these two, Mu Fan asked quietly, “Are all the people we’re meeting today like this?”
“I’m not sure, because this information exchange is a convergence of many forces, so I also don’t know who else will come,” Lu Qingxue said softly, clearly this family-arranged activity was a bit unexpected for her.
Soon, Mu Fan felt as if he had arrived at a star-level museum, with a variety of creatures gathered together.
There were Gala Star people with eyes on their long, slender bodies similar to those of snails, and Tubuli Star People whose appearances were indistinguishable from humans but whose skin was covered with yellow scales…
Mu Fan tried to control his curious gaze, noticing that many normal humans were conversing with them without any discomfort on either side.
If at this moment he paid too much attention to their appearances, it might be considered disrespectful to them.
Eventually, when the two found a circle of their own species, they chose to sit down in a place closest to this circle yet somewhat quiet.
When they sat down, a track-driven robot quickly came over with a tray, filled with various drinks.
Mu Fan sniffed, then his eyes lit up; he smelled Miluo. There was juice made from Miluo here, so he unapologetically took the cup of pale yellow juice.
Lu Qingxue, on the other hand, just picked up a cup of pure water.
“This place is larger and much more complex than I imagined. Honestly, don’t laugh at me… I don’t recognize many of these races,” Mu Fan said with a smile.
“I can only recognize half of them,” Lu Qingxue said tranquilly, sipping her water.
Their upright sitting posture, amidst the bustling and lively conversations of various races in the hall, really felt like a breath of fresh air.
After another half hour, as a circular platform rose in the center of the hall, the noise gradually subsided.
The main event was about to begin.
A short figure wearing round, mono-lens glasses appeared on the central platform holding a microphone, and when he started speaking, the place completely quieted down.
Hundreds of people looked towards him.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, descendants of distinguished families, it’s a pleasure to meet all of you. I am Smedley, the Vice President of the Alliance Mutual Assistance Association. Today marks our biannual information exchange meeting. Everyone is free to exchange the information they hold. We have prepared exquisite desserts and drinks for you, and we hope you have a pleasant exchange.”
It had to be admitted, the dwarf Smedley’s tone and voice were very appropriate, making him altogether not unpleasant to listen to.
As his words trailed off, dwarf Smedley bowed to everyone, and then the central platform slowly descended back into its original position.
Applause filled the hall, then it returned to its usual liveliness.
“What should we do now?”
“Wait.”
“They are all talking, we could just go and listen, why still need to trade?” Mu Fan asked curiously.
“Truly valuable information won’t be casually spoken here; the casually spoken words are just that, casual,” Lu Qingxue shook the Light Computer tablet in her hand that had just been handed to her by the robot.
Mu Fan noticed there were several squares on it, with titles and labeled conditions.
It seemed this was the means for internal exchange of information.
It was quite easy this way…
Mu Fan thought leisurely, then picked up another glass of Miluo juice from the robot’s tray.
Sitting next to a woman of transcendent charm was a very pleasing sight.
However, just as Mu Fan thought this, naturally, others thought the same.
It didn’t take long for people to notice the quietly seated Lu Qingxue. She wore a white windbreaker, her neck was long and fair, her chin delicate.
Cold as ice, her skin like jade—it was exactly as said.
To the Alien Race, she wasn’t much to look at, but for humans, such a woman was always the center of attention.
Several polite-looking young men came over one after the other, trying to find an opening to engage in conversation.
But received only cold responses—
“You are not the one I’m dealing with.”
“Sorry, not interested.”
“Please leave.”
…
After four or five groups left with their tails between their legs, those people unwillingly lingered on the outside, completely baffled whether this was or wasn’t a place for exchanging information.
Even without transactional information, it was necessary to converse with one another.
Many important matters might be hidden in casual conversation, which was a basic rule.
However, compared to those who arrived uninvited, there were some individuals on the periphery who watched coldly.
A few young men shifted their gaze from Lu Qingxue and her companion, glanced at each other, and simultaneously noticed the curiosity in each other’s eyes.
Who was the young man sitting next to Lu Qingxue?
Mu Fan had already drunk seven glasses of Miluo juice, sitting there stiffly as if he were just a novice in society. His raw, intrinsic aura was glaringly obvious among these sharp-eyed elites, like a firefly in the darkness.
They were curious, who was this young man belonging to the Snow Clan Lu Family?
For him to appear alongside the Flower of Sword Dao of the Lu Family was astounding.
Everyone knew that daughters of the Snow Clan were never seen with any male companions over the years.
This was already an unspoken secret in their circles.
But looking at the situation now, the Flower of Sword Dao from the Lu Family didn’t seem impatient. Could it be that the circumstances of the Lu Family had changed?
One young man greedily moved his eyes from Lu Qingxue, then smiled and nodded:
“Should we go over?”
“Why not, Shentu Yunxiao said to play fair. What if the Flower of Sword Dao of the Lu Family takes a liking to us?”
After whispering, the group laughed loudly.
Then the six or seven individuals, holding their wine glasses, made their way through the crowd towards Mu Fan.
…
Right as Mu Fan was sitting across from Lu Qingxue, bored.
Lu family’s eldest daughter, Miss Qingxue, it’s an honor to meet you today. You truly live up to your reputation. Do you mind if my friends and I sit here?”
A handsome man in a beige double-breasted coat approached, his coat open, revealing a neatly tailored white shirt beneath.
After pausing with his long legs, the man, gazing at Lu Qingxue who was modestly sipping water, smiled.
Lu Qingxue lifted her eyelids slightly upon seeing him, showing no reaction other than a casual nod.
“There’s plenty of space, please feel free.”
After saying this, she returned to her meditative posture, continuing to savor her drink.
As for Mu Fan beside her, he glanced at Shentu Yunxiao briefly, thought about it, but ultimately could not resist the allure of the Miluo juice, reaching for his eighth glass…
Another drink, then I’ll go to the restroom, hmm, just one more.
Mu Fan sipped his juice peacefully, completely indifferent to the man across from him.
After all, this was a round sofa spreading out in a right-angled fan shape.
The two sofas on the other side were completely unoccupied.
Shentu Yunxiao’s lips curled into a slight smile, good, the first step went very smoothly.
The Snow Clan’s women were always aloof. Many who courted them could line up into a reinforced brigade, so getting noticed required careful preparation.
And he, Shentu Yunxiao, had long known the purpose of the Snow Clan Lu Family’s visit…
