Banquet

Given her Spirit Attribute, she possesses an almost photographic memory; she only needs to glance at it once to master this unique script.

After that, Yun Xi quickly found the method for advancement in the Yilan Abnormal Domain among the vast sea of books.

Besides the conventional promotion paths, the only other way to advance is through strength. If you are strong enough, you can challenge a high-ranking official.

... But after so many years of development, the forces in each province have become deeply entrenched and complex.

In addition to possessing their own formidable strength, each faction is backed by a vast network of Abnormal Veins forces, and cultivates various powerful individuals to serve them.

These cultivated forces had all signed strict contracts with the faction, contracts so binding that they could not even entertain the thought of betrayal. These contracts were like invisible Shackles, tightly binding them to the faction's command, leaving them no choice but to serve it with unwavering loyalty.

If anyone dares to recklessly kill someone from a powerful faction, it will surely trigger a terrible storm and be attacked by a large number of powerful figures.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and the banquet has arrived as scheduled.

The city's night sky was illuminated by dazzling lights, and the mayor's mansion was especially brightly lit and bustling with activity.

The magnificent decorations, melodious music, and fragrant flowers were all arranged to perfection, all to welcome this important event.

Luxury carriages pulled up in front of the mansion, and dignitaries from all walks of life dressed in their finest attire to attend.

If it weren't for the obvious bizarre characteristics of 'Renren', it wouldn't be much different from the normal world.

According to the butler, the banquet was attended by elites from all walks of life, as well as powerful and famous figures.

This was not an ordinary gathering, but an important event with profound significance and purpose.

The head of the family meticulously planned this banquet, aiming to provide his successor with an excellent stage to showcase himself and allow Yun Xi to smoothly integrate into this complex and opportunity-filled social circle.

At the same time, it was also to announce to everyone Yun Xi's important identity as the heir to the Gui clan, paving the way for her future development and expanding her resources and Abnormal Veins.

It is evident that successor ghosts are indeed very difficult to find, and each successor ghost will be subject to considerable scrutiny.

In the Yilan Abnormal Domain, their position is truly very delicate.

Although this city is not vast in terms of area, it plays a pivotal and irreplaceable role.

Its importance is reflected in many aspects, perhaps because of its unique resource advantages, perhaps because of its key position in the strategic layout, or perhaps because of the special mission and function it undertakes.

However, although Yimi occupies a crucial position in the overall development pattern of the Yilan Abnormal Domain, it is not a large and prosperous city in terms of scale.

This unique state makes Yimi City stand out among many cities, possessing both remarkable value and maintaining a relatively small and exquisite scale.

As a result, the range of people invited to this meticulously prepared banquet far exceeded the initial expectations.

The banquet was attended by dignitaries from all walks of life, not just high-ranking officials from Yimi City, but also important high-ranking officials from other nearby provinces and cities.

Yun Xi stood in a corner of the banquet hall, her eyes filled with surprise.

She hadn't expected that the mayor of Yimi City would have such great influence and appeal, able to bring together so many important figures from the surrounding areas.

However, as more and more monsters arrived from all directions, Yun Xi, with her keen insight, was surprised to discover that half of these monsters had been possessed.

Between the ghosts who were not possessed and those who were possessed, two relatively subtle and intriguing attitudes gradually emerged.

Those who are not possessed often reveal vigilance and defensiveness in their eyes. Their behavior is somewhat restrained. When communicating with possessed ghosts, they always unconsciously maintain a certain distance, and their words are full of probing and caution.

In contrast, the ghosts who were possessed appeared rather unrestrained and arrogant, their actions revealing a strange confidence and arrogance.

When faced with a stranger who has not been coerced, their attitude is either disdain or deliberate attempts to win them over and tempt them, trying to break down the barriers between them and achieve some ulterior motive.

This subtle atmosphere quietly spread throughout the banquet hall, making the whole scene increasingly complex and unpredictable. Yun Xi, standing in the midst of it all, felt her vigilance rise to its peak.

Undoubtedly, the current situation clearly indicates that these are the two distinct factions within the Yilan Abnormal Domain.

The differences between them are not only reflected in the superficial phenomenon of whether or not they are sent abroad, but more profoundly in their underlying philosophies, goals, and ways of doing things.

The mayor of Yimi City undoubtedly stands firmly on the side of those who have not been reincarnated. Precisely because of this, the attitudes of those who have not been reincarnated towards Yun Xi are extremely friendly.

Their gazes towards Yun Xi were full of kindness; they smiled and greeted Yun Xi warmly, their words brimming with concern and encouragement. They enthusiastically introduced Yunxi to the various aspects of the banquet, sharing interesting experiences and trying to help her integrate into the environment more quickly.

And those ghosts who were sent to the temple, their gazes toward Yun Xi concealed a deep hostility.

Although they tried their best to restrain themselves from showing their hostility in this superficial social setting, the perceptive Yun Xi still keenly noticed it.

Whenever the gazes of those possessed ghosts swept over Yun Xi, the fleeting coldness and hostility in their eyes seemed to carry an invisible pressure.

Although they still wore seemingly polite smiles and uttered some perfunctory words, Yun Xi could clearly perceive the true emotions hidden beneath their false appearances.

This subtle hostility made Yun Xi feel a sense of vigilance. She knew that behind this seemingly harmonious banquet, there must be an unknown crisis and struggle.

As the mayor of Yimi City led Yun Xi through various strange interactions, Yun Xi gradually came to understand the mayor's position.

Mayor Jingtian is a third-generation direct descendant of the Feiji faction and the descendant of the Lord of the Yilan Abnormal Domain. This identity gives him a unique position among various forces. As the grandson of the Lord of the Yilan Abnormal Domain, he has a special background and potential influence.
