Chapter 455: Chapter 246 Who Are You on Equal Terms With!?_1
The She family arrived first, which unsettled the other four clans of Lu City.
It would have been fine if any of the other four families arrived first, but it absolutely couldn’t be the She family.
Because it seemed to highlight the close relationship between the She family and Jianmu.
The five families of Lu City had always been on equal footing, each leading the forefront of power in their respective domains.
They cooperated and maintained a relatively balanced state.
But the She family, because of their connection with a disciple of the Grandmaster Creator, disrupted this balance.
Now, the She family’s actions only deepen the fear of the other clans.
If the She family was not backed by a disciple of the Grandmaster Creator, the other clans would have tried to disrupt this bond long ago.
But when it comes to dealing with a Grandmaster Creator, the other families do not have such courage.
If they made a Grandmaster Creator bear a grudge against them, not only would they not be able to keep up with the She family, their development would also become extremely difficult.
Therefore, when the She family arrived, all the Four Clans were led by their Family Heads, accompanied by their heirs and the nobles of their families.
Such an assembly was less like attending a trade fair, and more like making a visit of the highest order.
For the five families of Lu City, the selection of a Noble Lady primarily depends on their bloodline, then talent comes next.
Appearance is not an option in front of an absolute bloodline.
Thus, the Noble Ladies from the Zhao, Wu, and He families looked comparatively better, but could not be described as ravishingly beautiful.
Their features were not as delicate as She Wan’s, but their temperament was superior without exception.
They all displayed the grace that a Noble Lady should have.
These three were always the centre of attention at any gathering.
However, in comparison to Gao Wenyuan, who was recently chosen as the Noble Lady of the Gao family, their beauty was dimmed.
Gao Wenyuan had always hovered around various social occasions, so her temperament did not show a significant difference from the other Noble Ladies.
Even if it was slightly inferior, it was covered by her superior beauty.
Gao Wenyuan had done meticulous preparation to highlight her charm to the fullest.
Her delicate temperament, pitiful expression, and innocent doe eyes, made Gao Wenyuan look like a tender white flower that needed to be nurtured.
Because of the irreplaceable effect of Peach Beguile make-up brand, all female core members of Lu City’s Five Families who could afford it were using it.
Therefore, they all carried the scent of Heaven Fragrance Peony.
Gao Wenyuan also used Peach Beguile make-up, but specifically added the scent of Ye Yun Chung.
The scent of Ye Yun Chung was pure and ethereal, best suited to enhance a person’s gentle temperament.
It subtly imprints the impression of gentleness and docility in people’s hearts.
The scent of Ye Yun Chung alone could not indicate anything, but having the scent of Heaven Fragrance Peony from Peach Beguile makeup and highlighting oneself with the scent of Ye Yun Chung, made the pure fragrance of Ye Yun Chung full of unspeakable charm.
Zhao Junwei, the head of the Zhao family, Wu Ge, the head of the Wu family, He Kuan, the head of the He family, and She Junjie, were all scrutinizing Gao Wenyuan and Gao Hongying.
The news that Gao Wenyuan had suddenly been chosen as the Noble Lady of the Gao family by Gao Hongying had spread throughout the entire Lu City.
If it were not for Fang Mu hosting a trade fair, Gao Hongying would probably have held a banquet for Gao Wenyuan today.
Inviting the other families of Lu City to witness the ceremony.
Many forces were speculating, the Gao family hadn’t chosen a Noble Lady for many years, why would they suddenly choose one now?
Gao Wenyuan is not the direct descendant of the Gao family, the only purpose of being chosen as the Noble Lady could be for marriage alliance.
Choosing her at this critical moment, is likely to have link with Fang Mu.
Upon slight consideration, it became evident that Gao Hongying was not inviting Fang Mu as a guest to the Gao family under some pretext, but was preparing to use Gao Wenyuan as a bait to lure Fang Mu.
Gao Hongying’s scheming was so loud that even people two thousand kilometers away could hear it.
Fang Mu was just a young boy, and young boys are most vulnerable to beautiful women.
Zhao Junwei, Wu Ge, and He Kuan couldn’t help but wonder whether Gao Hongying’s approach was feasible or not.
If Gao Hongying’s approach was feasible, then they were already one step behind in their preparations.
Moreover, in terms of appearance, their family’s Noble Ladies could not hold a candle to Gao Wenyuan, but in terms of talent and strength, they far surpassed her.
But these were all hidden attributes, hard to show in the beginning of social interaction.
The three of them had no previous contact with Fang Mu and knew nothing about him.
However, She Junjie had deep communication with Fang Mu and knew exactly what kind of person he was.
Fang Mu’s decision to hold this trade fair under his own name was intended to get in touch with the various powers of Lu City.
In fact, as long as one could show their value to Fang Mu, he would probably not be stingy in providing them with the opportunity to form relationships.
Gao Hongying’s move might seem like a tricky one, but it seemed rather calculating to others.
A thoughtful young prodigy would hardly be willing to be manipulated!
Perhaps many people thought that She Wan had managed to win over Fang Mu because of her beauty.
But on the contrary, beauty did not gain She Wan any benefits in front of Fang Mu.
She Wan could earn Fang Mu’s trust and was used by him, thanks entirely to her fulfilling of the duties of a guard.
If Gao Wenyuan really listened to Gao Hongying’s order and tried to seduce Fang Mu to seize resources for the family, it might bring disaster to the Gao family.
