Warton, Nina, and an Engagement

April 12th, 10009 of the Yulan Calendar, was the engagement day of the Imperial Capital's rising star, "Wharton," and "Nina." This young couple—one the younger brother of the Saint Realm Saint-level expert, the other the daughter of the Emperor—would undoubtedly have a huge turnout for their engagement. 💜💜 👺🐳

The nobles in the Imperial Capital who received the invitations were extremely proud, as many ordinary nobles were not even qualified to receive one. After all, if even they were invited, the Count's Mansion would not be able to accommodate so many people.

The Earl's Count's Mansion was filled with joy today, and the Count's Mansion outside was bustling with activity. The carriages alone almost blocked most of Fushi Road. The nobles' guards and servants were not allowed to enter the mansion and were waiting outside. There were several thousand of these wicked guards and servants.

A sea of people!

Look at those carriages, each one more luxurious than the last. Those noble ladies and young women are all dressed more beautifully than the last, each one more eye-catching than the last. This engagement banquet at the Count's Mansion is undoubtedly the most prestigious gathering among the nobility. Those who come here are all people of high status.

"Brother, I feel a little uncomfortable dressed like this." Wharton had been sitting in the room for quite some time, Wharton was more nervous than ever before.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Alright, Wharton, you're already very handsome. Be confident!"

Wharton took a deep breath.

"Come on, let's go to the lobby to greet the guests." Lin Feng said with a smile, "You can't expect Grandpa Hiri to be greeting guests outside all the time. For example, if His Majesty comes, what would it look like if you didn't personally greet him?"

Lin Feng and Wharton entered the hall through the side door and gasped. Good heavens! There were so many people! And only some of the nobles had arrived so far; many important figures hadn't even arrived yet.

"The Imperial Capital is indeed the Imperial Capital; there are far more nobles than in Fenlai City," Lin Feng remarked.

When Lin Feng attended Alice and Kalan's engagement ceremony back then, the number of guests was clearly less than that of Wharton's engagement ceremony today, and the caliber of the guests was also far inferior.

The number of nobles in a kingdom is naturally less than that in an empire.

As soon as Lin Feng and Wharton entered the hall, they immediately became the focus of attention. Wharton's tall stature was truly eye-catching. Many people greeted them warmly.

"Wharton, come here," the butler, Hiri, immediately called out.

Wharton immediately rushed to the entrance of the hall to greet the arriving guests. Lin Feng, on the other hand, casually strolled around the hall with a wine glass in hand, occasionally clinking glasses with some guests.

The nobles were also very self-aware; none of them bothered Lin Feng personally. Instead, they raised their cups slightly from a distance.

but

Some of the noble ladies, however, were all staring at Lin Feng. They all knew that Lin Feng was currently unmarried. A man in his early twenties, and a peak Saint Realm expert—where could one find such a man?

"This is a headache." Lin Feng saw three very proactive noble ladies walking directly towards Lin Feng from different directions in the hall, but Lin Feng could only pretend not to see them.

When the three noble ladies were still a meter away from Lin Feng.

A gentle yet resilient wind blew across the ladies, preventing the three noble ladies from getting any closer to Lin Feng.

Immediately, Lin Feng, still smiling faintly, raised his glass and walked to a corner of the hall to sit down.

"Master Lin Feng just now?!" a beautiful blonde noblewoman exclaimed excitedly. "What kind of amazing move was that?"

The other two noble ladies were also unaware of this.

It doesn't matter if they don't know; it doesn't affect Lin Feng's status in their hearts. On the contrary, in their eyes, Lin Feng becomes even more mysterious and powerful. In fact, Lin Feng's move just now was merely a simple use of the wind.

"Did you see Master Lin Feng send Lord Kenyon with a single flick of his sleeve at the Martial Arena that day? He was so strong! I was so excited!"

"It's so exciting! I love this type. All the boys in the academy are so weak and lack any spirit."

Lin Feng's hearing was exceptional. He overheard some of the noble ladies' conversation, leaving Lin Feng speechless.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

The waiter who greeted guests at the front gate suddenly raised his voice considerably, clearly shouting with aggression, so loud that even the guests in the hall could hear him clearly.

The nobles in the hall immediately fell silent and all looked outside. There were also many nobles outside the hall. Because there were so many nobles today, the hall alone could not accommodate them all.

"So Joanne is here?" Lin Feng also got up and walked out of the hall.

"Sir," Gates, dressed in uniform, greeted Lin Feng.

Today, the Barker Five Brothers were also dressed in their handsome uniforms, patrolling the area. Their burly physiques made the nobles tremble just by walking around the Count's Mansion. They all secretly sighed that they were indeed worthy of being called the Dragonblood Warrior Clan, even their family guards were so formidable.

His Majesty Joanne was as dazzling as ever. He walked over, hand in hand with the Empress, followed by several guards.

"Wharton." His Majesty Joanne noticed Wharton first, and nodding in satisfaction at the imposing and handsome Wharton. "Not bad, not bad."

Lin Feng then walked over.

"Your Majesty, please come inside and rest," Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Very well, Master Lin Feng and I still have a lot to discuss," His Majesty Joanne An said warmly, and then the two entered the living room. As for the other nobles and ministers, they tactfully offered their compliments from the sidelines.

One after another, nobles from the Imperial Capital arrived, but Lin Feng did not rise to greet them. The nobles considered this perfectly reasonable. A Saint Realm expert greeting them? How could that be?

"The president of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce has arrived."

The voice rose again. It belonged to the president of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce of the three major merchant guilds. Although the Dawson Chamber of Commerce itself did not have any Saint Realm experts, its economic strength was undeniable.

Even Emperor Joanne stood up and said to Lin Feng, "This Monroe Dawson is a good friend of mine."

Lin Feng also stood up.

Yale must have come with Monroe Dawson," he chuckled. Monroe Dawson, his belly protruding, walked behind his father, Yale. Upon seeing Joanne Majesty Joan, Monroe Dawson quickly greeted him, " Joanne Majesty Joan."

His Majesty Joanne smiled warmly and said, "Monroe, Lin Feng is the host here today, so you don't need to be so polite to me."

"Master Lin Feng, I've known him for a long time, but I never expected that just a few years would pass and he would achieve such success, haha," Lin Feng Monroe Dawson said, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Uncle Dawson, you can call me Lin Feng," Lin Feng said with a smile. He and Yale were good brothers, so he naturally had to show some respect to his father.

"Wharton, come and see Uncle Dawson."

Wharton also came over.

"What a handsome and robust young man." Monroe Dawson's eyes lit up when he saw Wharton; clearly, Walton's physique surprised him greatly.

One by one, nobles arrived, and even Blumer came. Blumer was indeed very gentlemanly today, and even congratulated Wharton.

However, Wharton felt uneasy about Blumer. He had a feeling that Blumer was saying one thing but meaning another.

"Blumer, why didn't your older brother come today?" His Majesty Joanne asked Blumer with a smile.

"My elder brother is currently in seclusion, preparing for his battle with Haydson next month," Blumer said with a smile.

"Oh, that's true." His Majesty Joanne nodded.

Blumer then glanced at Wharton, who was greeting guests at the door, a cold glint in his eyes. Wharton's acquisition of Nina this time had greatly displeased Blumer.

"Haydson, the Sword Saint of Rock," has arrived.

Upon hearing this voice, His Majesty Joanne, Lin Feng, Monroe Dawson, and a large group of others immediately stood up and walked outside.

Although Lin Feng looked down on Haydson's half-baked but impressive-sounding style, it was his younger brother's engagement banquet today, and he didn't want to offend the guests who came to congratulate him.

A moment later, Haydson, dressed in a gray robe, walked in alone, and His Majesty Joanne, Lin Feng, Wharton, and others went to greet him.

"Haha, Wharton, congratulations!" Haydson smiled warmly, then looked at Lin Feng and joked, "Lin Feng, your younger brother is engaged, what about you, the older brother?"

Lin Feng was taken aback; he hadn't expected Haydson to ask that.

"Haha!" Joanne beside him also laughed heartily, nodding repeatedly, "Lin Feng, it's time for you to get married. If you take a fancy to anyone, just tell me, and I'll definitely send that lucky girl to you."

Lin Feng was both amused and exasperated.
