Chapter 185 The Lin Family Banquet
In the deep, quiet, and mysterious basement of the Lin family home, a man in a black suit sat on a luxurious leather sofa.
His sharp eyes were fixed on the bottle of potion in his hand, which emitted an eerie red glow, as if he could see the infinite power and secrets contained within it through the glass bottle.
At this moment, a light sound of footsteps came from far away.
Immediately afterward, a respectful servant appeared at the door and quickly walked up to the man, bowing and saying, "Master, good news! The potion we jointly developed with the Evil Fiend Sect has been successfully launched, and it's currently selling extremely well in the market, with demand exceeding supply!"
Upon hearing this news, Lin Yufeng, who was known as the head of the Lin family, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a subtle smug smile.
He nodded in satisfaction and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Hmm, not bad. It seems this potion is as popular as I predicted."
It turns out that this magical potion called Blood Red Potion was a product jointly developed by the Lin family and the Evil Fiend Cult.
It is said that once someone drinks this potion, their strength will instantly increase to more than twice its original level!
However, everything comes at a price—long-term and frequent use of this drug could very likely cause the user to lose their mind and fall into a state of madness.
But for Lin Yufeng, who was only focused on making money, these potential risks were completely irrelevant.
As long as one can continuously acquire wealth, everything else can be forgotten.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer and mutter to himself, "Hmph, this time I can finally trample the Ye family under my feet."
It should be noted that the Ye family and the Lin family are almost equal in terms of economic strength and sphere of influence.
The two sides have been locked in a fierce struggle for many years, yet a true victor has never emerged.
Now, thanks to the enormous profits brought by this miraculous blood-red potion, Lin Yufeng has not only made a fortune, but has also broken through to the ninth level of the Divine Realm! He is only one step away from the legendary Divine Soul Realm.
Lin Yufeng slowly stood up from his seat and asked, "How are the preparations for this banquet going?"
Upon hearing the question, the servant standing to the side hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the master, everything has been arranged. All the items and venue setup are complete, and we are just waiting for your arrival, esteemed guests."
Lin Yufeng nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked again, "I heard that the Emperor's youngest daughter, Song Wanning, will also be attending this banquet? Is this news true?"
The servant quickly replied, "That's true, Master. We just learned of this ourselves."
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Lin Yufeng's eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a faint smile. He murmured softly, "If we can bring about the marriage between my son Ye Han and Song Wan Ning, then our Lin family will surely usher in an unprecedented moment of glory, and soar to new heights!"
Speaking of Lin Yehan, he is Lin Yufeng's most proud son. At a young age, barely twenty, he has already entered the Divine Sect realm, becoming a powerful martial artist. Such an achievement is extremely rare, even in the entire martial arts world, making him a peerless genius.
Lin Yufeng knew his son was exceptionally talented and gifted. If he could truly marry Song Wanning, it would undoubtedly be a match made in heaven. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
……
On the appointed day, the banquet hall was already packed with people, shoulder to shoulder, with celebrities from all walks of life arriving one after another, all with the same purpose—to curry favor with this newly emerged powerhouse.
The spacious and magnificent banquet hall now seemed somewhat crowded, but everyone's face was filled with enthusiastic and fawning smiles.
Lin Yufeng stood calmly on the high platform, his posture as upright as a pine tree, and his gorgeous clothes further accentuated his extraordinary temperament.
He tilted his head slightly, meeting the admiring gazes of the crowd below, those gazes like blazing flames enveloping him entirely.
However, Lin Yufeng remained unmoved, his expression remaining calm and composed, as if such admiration was nothing more than commonplace for him.
Just then, a loud shout rang out: "The Ye family patriarch has arrived!"
The once noisy banquet hall fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned to the entrance.
The door slowly opened, and a tall, imposing figure came into view. His steps were steady and powerful, each one seemingly containing boundless strength; he wore a black brocade robe embroidered with exquisite patterns, highlighting his noble status.
Following him was a group of well-dressed people, each with a solemn expression.
The tall figure was Ye Xingchen, the head of the Ye family, and the woman standing next to him was his beloved daughter, Ye Qingli.
Ye Qingli was born with a beautiful face and skin as white as snow. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, making her look like a fairy descended from heaven.
She wore a long white dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, adding to her ethereal and otherworldly beauty. Apart from Ye Qingli, the others were all core members of the Ye family.
Lin Yufeng and Ye Xingchen smiled at each other, then each extended their right hand and clasped it tightly.
On the surface, the atmosphere between the two was harmonious and polite, but in reality, there were undercurrents and tensions were running high.
They both knew perfectly well that this meeting was far more than just a simple exchange of pleasantries.
Just then, a voice came from outside the door: "Princess Song has arrived!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Wanning walked into the banquet hall, with Ye Chuxue following behind her.
Song Wanning wore a light blue floor-length gown, with delicate patterns embroidered with silver thread, resembling a river of stars flowing through it. A circle of round pearls was inlaid at the neckline, each one full and radiating a soft luster.
Her hair was pulled up, with a few stray strands falling beside her ears, adding to her delicate charm.
Ye Chuxue wore a light pink dress with layers of skirt that resembled blooming flowers, and a ribbon tied into a pretty bow at the waist, making her look sweet and charming.
Seeing this, Lin Yufeng quickly led his son, Lin Yehan, to greet them. When Lin Yehan saw Song Wanning, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.
"Haha, Princess Song has come from afar, I must take my leave," Lin Yufeng said with a smile.
"I'm the one who's troubling Patriarch Ye the most," Song Wanning replied politely.
