Chapter 973 Ball (3)

Lin Fan looked at that person and found that it was a beautiful girl with green eyes and green hair, but he didn't dare underestimate her as he felt the aura coming from her.

Since she had received the same treatment as this Wang Yin, it wasn't hard to guess who she was.

She was most likely the one from the Lu Astral Empire.

As if on cue, the guard beside him whispered in his ear, "Young master, this is the crown princess of the Lu Astral Empire, Lu Fei Yu."

Lin Fan revealed a smile after hearing this and said, "Miss Lu, it's my pleasure to meet you."

Lu Fei Yu's expression didn't change at all, but she reached her hand forward.

Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised, but he still took it and kissed the back of her palm.

What he didn't notice was that there was a strange flash in Wang Yin's eyes when he saw this. However, this didn't last long and Wang Yin quickly said with a teasing smile, "Brother Lin, it seems like you've caught miss Lu's attention. I've never seen her give her hand to anyone this easily."

Lu Fei Yu immediately glared at Wang Yin when she heard this before turning away with a soft snort.

Lin Fan just revealed a polite smile as he said, "Brother Wang, I'm sure that miss Lu is just being polite."

Wang Yin just had the same teasing smile without saying anything.

Lin Fan seemed calm on the surface, but he couldn't help being confused deep down.

That was because…he just couldn't see through the two of them at all.

But a reason for this was that he didn't know them well enough to begin with. He had only heard about them today since he had been too busy with preparing for this banquet  before this.

Still, he could tell at the very least that neither of them were simple based on first impressions.

Once the greetings were done, both of their groups headed off and were immediately surrounded by groups of Stellar Kingdom royals.

While Lin Fan was the main guest at this banquet, these two were still heirs of their respective Astral Empires. If they were able to create relations with them, there were no downsides for their Stellar Kingdom at all.

Lin Fan could even see the Zi Stellar Kingdom group following the crowd, making him feel even more disappointed.

It seemed like he really needed to take care of this group in the future or else it would hurt Zi Ling…

But he had to be careful how he did it since they were her parents and family in the end.

After they left, he was once again surrounded by the Stellar Kingdom groups, but he was saved by a surprising group.

It was a group of cousins from the Lin Astral Family.

Normally, these cousins avoided Lin Fan as much as they could because of how terrified they were of him. However, they were coming closer to him today.

When these cousins started talking amongst themselves, it was impossible for the Stellar Kingdom groups to cut in. After all, there wasn't a single person that was close enough to them that they could join in their conversation.

Not to mention, if they unwittingly offended anyone from the Lin Astral Family, it wouldn't be hard to imagine what the fate of their Stellar Kingdom would be like.

So not a single person came forward.

But everyone watched this group with sharp eyes out of the corner of their eyes. The moment that one person strayed from the pack, they would immediately follow them to talk to them.

This was the only place that they could do this without consequences, so no one was willing to miss this chance.

It was almost like hunters watching their prey.

Even though the cousins had surrounded him, they didn't say a thing to him while talking amongst themselves.

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a smile when he saw this, but he didn't stop them.

He knew that they were all there to use each other, so he was fine with it since he was also using them.

He was getting tired of talking with the people from the Stellar Kingdoms, so he wanted a break as well. At the same time, it would give him time to check with Brainy.

After what had happened in the waiting room, Lin Fan had Brainy release his puppets all over the hall.

He hadn't done this before because he didn't know if doing this would interfere with the surveillance net the guards had set up, but he couldn't care about that now. After all, the net had already failed, so he needed to take action.

Brainy had already released enough puppets to cover every inch of this hall and she had eyes on every part, but she hadn't been able to find a single thing.

Lin Fan didn't mind since he knew that the other side had amazing disguise abilities.

It would have been strange if she had actually found something.

But what Brainy did find was that there were several guards who had been knocked out.

As soon as she found these, Lin Fan immediately reported them to the guard beside him who relayed this information to the other guards.

The guard was surprised, but he also quickly radioed this in and the guards that had been knocked out were found. Their appearances were quickly photographed and sent off to all the other guards to look out for.

They knew that the enemies had the ability to disguise themselves as the people that they knocked out, so every single guard that had been knocked out was a potential disguise.

At the same time, they started checking with each guard at every minute to make sure that no one else was missing…but there were already more guards that were missing.

It was clear that the enemies had already been plotting for a long time.

Just how did they get here so quickly and sneak in so far?

It didn't make sense at all.

Not long after, there was another group that arrived that caught Lin Fan's attention.

It was the girls who had finished changing.

When he saw them, his chin couldn't help dropping.

He had been completely blown away by their beauty.

It wasn't just him who was blown away, almost all of the other men in the hall were blown away, regardless of age or if they were married. But right after that, there were quite a few men who received slaps to the face, the arm, and such.

However, even women weren't immune to their beauty as quite a few women also were stunned by their beauty.

It was a beauty that made them feel inferior, but they didn't feel bitter. It was a beauty that made them accept that there was always someone who was above them.

It was a beauty that even made a few of these girls…blush.

Even though they weren't into women, they couldn't help having indecent thoughts when seeing these two.

But everyone also quickly looked away.

It was just a single whisper at first, but soon everyone knew just who these two women were.

They knew that these two were Lin Fan's women and they didn't dare look at them anymore. After all, they all knew who Lin Fan was and if they were to somehow offend the Lin Astral Empire because of this, it would be the end of them.

As for the other two beautiful women along with these two, they also didn't dare look at them.

One was Lin Fan's little sister and the other was a close female friend…which most people assumed meant that she would become a concubine in the future.

In short, they were related to Lin Fan, so they weren't for them to stare at.

When they came over, the two of them just stood there in front of Lin Fan as he stared at them in a daze.

Only after a while did he give a gulp and say, "You're both beautiful."

Both of them revealed a blush when they heard this, but Lin Xue had other plans. She came forward and she poked Lin Fan right in the rib.

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile, but he didn't do anything about it.

After another while, he finally remembered something and he gave a bow as he reached his hand out towards Angela as he said, "May I have this dance?"

Angela reached her hand out towards his and placed her hand in his before giving a nod.

To the side, Zi Ling didn't mind this since she knew that this was how it was. No matter what, she couldn't take Angela's place in Lin Fan's heart. She was just happy that he had made a place for her in his life.

The two of them walked out to the middle of the dance floor while everyone watched them.

To this point, not a single person had gone onto the dance floor because…Lin Fan hadn't gone yet.

As the guest of honour, it was Lin Fan's duty to have the first dance.

So before Lin Fan went, not a single person dared to go.

And now that he was going, everyone naturally paid attention so that they could flatter him at any time.

But for Lin Fan and Angela, the two of them were in their own world.

They ignored everyone and just made their way to the center of the dance floor.

Once they were in place, the music began.
