Chapter 202 - Jiang Yi
That Young Lady had a title people secretly gave her; Tormenta. However, it was an ironic title for the daughter of a Noble Family of the Blue Breeze Nation. Actually, she didn't know her title was Tormenta, just those that suffered in her hands called her like that, not having the courage to say that when they were face to face.
Why was she called like that? Because she was unruly and had a sadistic nature. If she wanted something, she would get it, be it resources, an item or money. Anything...
However, on many of those times, someone ended up suffering because of her. Her name was Jiang Yi, the most prominent female from the Jiang family, but the most difficult to deal with as well. Fortunately, no one had died on her hands, just suffered from limitless forms of embarrassment and shame that some would rather be dead.
Old Butler Zhao knocked on the door of Seth's carriage, surprising the people inside.
Seth opened the door and saw the old man he had just seen some moments ago. He didn't know why he was here, but he already expected some trouble, since that was what generally happened.
"Can I help you with something?"
"You can. I came here to invite you for the banquet at the Blue Breeze Jiang Family villa. I hope young master will attend the banquet, since it is an invitation from my young lady."
"Hm?" Seth didn't understand it at all. He was being invited to a party, but he didn't even know who was inviting him. He was expecting trouble and not an invitation.
Young Master Chen and Young Master Huang were expecting to see a thrashing happening in front of them, but they were flabbergasted to see butler Zhao inviting that man to a banquet. However, since it was an invitation from Jiang Yi, they started to think that poor man was even more fucked now.
"I don't even know who is inviting me, how can I..."
"Don't worry. As long as you attend the banquet, we can cover all your expenses inside the city."
'Holy Shit! What kind of deal was this?' Seth got shocked after realizing he was practically being paid to attend to a party. He didn't know who was inviting him and with what finality, but was getting interested.
"When is it going happen?"
"The banquet is going to happen tonight at the Jiang Family villa, and it is for congratulating the Young Lady's entrance to the Glazed Lake Sect outer-court. Impressively, the Young Lady herself requested me to invite you. I don't know why she asked me to invite you... Maybe you would be able to turn into a good guard in the future."
'Glazed Lake?' Seth suddenly found a way to acquire information about the Glazed Lake, even before entering the city.
"Alright, I will make an exception and go." Seth said normally, but the butler didn't understand from where did all that ego come from.
Actually, Seth was not being snob, but practically giving up on enjoying part of his night with Rina to attend that banquet, what he had to make a huge and special exception to do it. He needed the information about the Glazed Lake, and since it had found his way towards him, he would grab it.
The butler took out a blue token from his spatial ring and gave it to Seth. It was a token from the Blue Breeze Jiang Family. These tokens were a way to be recognized as an important person inside certain areas, just like the token he had received from the Elf Queen. However, the token from a Human Nation, was thousand times less important than a token from the Elf Queen.
Before leaving, he gave Seth a spatial ring containing some blue Skystones and some other things to cover his expenses inside the city. After that, he left definitively, driving his carriage away.
Not only he was able to find a source for the information he needed, but he was receiving money for free as well. A great deal.
Seth used this chance to observe who was the person inside that carriage as well, since he got curious about the person who had invited him.
When his Soul Sense reached that person, he was able to see the figure of a young lady that seemed to be nineteen years old. She seemed to be tall and had a kind of special wavy blue hair, a hair that would fit really well with a light breeze.
It was needless to say that a rich woman like her would be pretty. But even though she was pretty, she didn't reach the level of beauty Caizhi and Lilian had, much less Rina and Serene. However, she had an elegance all the others paled in comparison. Even while riding inside the carriage, she was seating properly with her hands atop her thighs, what showed how composed she was. Totally different from her personality.
"Why is a person like her, inviting me over?" Seth suddenly thought aloud.
"Hm? You were invited to go somewhere?" Rina suddenly asked, since she was able to hear part of their conversation.
"Yeah. A man had just invited me to participate in a party on the Jiang's family villa. I don't even know why they invited me, but it seems it was because the young lady inside that carriage got interest in me, I guess."
Seth showed Rina the blue token he had received. She took it on her hands and observed it, seeing how different it was from the Elven Royal Crest her mother had once given Seth.
"A noble young lady invited you? Why would she do that?"
"No idea. Maybe she fell for my handsomeness at first sight."
Chun Meihui was hearing everything and she wasn't able to control her laughter, giggling after he said that. He was indeed handsome, but she didn't believe something like that would be possible, so she was laughing at the joke he made.
"Come on, don't worry about it for now. If you're interested on going, we can go together, but first, we need to find a suitable place to stay inside the city. I was able to see the city gates when I left the carriage, so we're almost there."
"Cool."
"Let's go then."
