Chapter 1110: Chapter 1109: Hou Family Members

The children chatted recklessly, and the adults from the ancient families and modern families ultimately did not engage in conversation together. There were people from modern families attempting to get close to those from ancient families, but unfortunately, they were not interested.

Nie Yunsheng stood at the edge of the venue, not actively communicating with anyone nor mingling among the crowd like at an upper-class social event. He seemed detached from everyone else, even though he was the host of the banquet, as if it was none of his concern.

The ancient families were not surprised by this, but the modern families found it quite peculiar.

Nie Kaihuan stood beside him, quietly observing. When his gaze swept over Luo Yirui, he paused for a moment, thinking this child seemed familiar, but he couldn’t recall where they might have met before.

Luo Yirui watched and suddenly saw Nie Yunsheng lift the cup in his hand, making a gesture to someone. Turning his head, he saw his mother raise her cup in response, as if greeting back.

Nie Yunsheng was actually greeting his mother.

Luo Yirui didn’t like attending such banquets at all; they were not enjoyable in the least, lacking any festive atmosphere and always full of various contemptuous looks.

Finally, at nine-thirty in the evening, the banquet ended, and people gradually left, each returning to their own floors and rooms.

Those from ancient families carried a sense of superiority in their eyes when they headed upstairs, which even annoyed Luo Yirui a little.

He didn’t understand that the adult world was like this—no matter how deep the heritage, it still had its own emotions, especially for modern families who had already narrowed their path on the mystic doctor road. Besides the significant differences in status, the gap in strength was also huge, which was the main reason why they looked down on modern families.

Returning to their room, Beisitian sat on the sofa while Wei Zhongxun poured a glass of water for Luo Yirui.

"I can do it myself," Luo Yirui said with a smile.

Wei Zhongxun patted his head and sat on the other side, saying, "Master, have you felt it’s getting harder to understand these ancient families?"

Beisitian remained silent. This time, the garden tour itself was undertaken with certain intentions, although they still didn’t know what those were exactly, and whether they belonged to the Nie Family or the entire ancient families.

Their understanding of the ancient families was too limited; there were few records even from before, and their prolonged seclusion and deep hiding made it hard to quickly acquire firsthand information, unless there was someone inside.

Thinking of someone inside, Beisitian suddenly remembered Chu Fenglei. Hadn’t this guy also come? And what about Gu Haiqing, did they lack the status or was there something else?

"That team of four is from the Hou Family," Beisitian said.

This time, although there was no direct contact or conversation with the ancient families, information exchanges with the modern families allowed her to gather more information.

"The Hou Family?" Wei Zhongxun slightly frowned, one of the three major families.

But as far as he knew, the Hou Family was simply not equipped to resist the Nie Family’s power. Why were they given such a special allocation of four people, was the Nie Family too lenient?

Luo Yirui sat quietly beside, listening attentively to the analysis of his mother and Uncle Xun, finding it all very intriguing.

Beisitian nodded, "Yes, the Hou Family. They seem to be challenging the Nie Family, though it’s unclear where their confidence comes from."

The apparent conflict is between the ancient families and modern families, but those who truly understand the situation know that the biggest conflict lies between the Nie Family and the ancient families.
