Chapter 418 289: Banquet at the Su Family: The Young Ladies' Frantic Preparations

She pictured Han Feng's perpetually calm and composed face, and the focused, almost fanatical gleam in his eyes when he was in the cockpit.

"Could it be that..."

Su Muxue said with some uncertainty, "he actually thinks rocks are prettier than you?"

Su Yunxi froze. She whipped her head around to stare at her sister in utter disbelief.

"Sis! Are you even my real sister?!

Why would you say something so crushing?"

Su Muxue sighed, rising to her feet. She walked over to her younger sister and straightened her slightly messy hair.

"What I mean is, a person like Han Feng has his mind completely focused on Cultivation and technology.

You can't expect him to stare at you like all those flies buzzing around you. That's impossible."

"So... you've been around him more. What kind of girls do you think he likes?"

Su Yunxi grabbed Su Muxue's arm, her eyes sparkling as she asked,

"The gentle type? Or the energetic type?

Or... the cool, sophisticated 'ice queen' type, like you, Sis?"

Su Muxue was taken aback.

'Her and Han Feng?'

Aside from their collaborations on the fighter jet and their business deals, they had never even exchanged idle chatter.

The way Han Feng looked at her always conveyed only one thing—he was looking at a client.

At times, she even felt that the way Han Feng looked at the "Night Falcon" fighter jet was far more passionate than the way he looked at her.

"How would I know?"

Su Muxue snatched her hand back irritably, tapping Su Yunxi on the forehead.

"I'm not a mind reader.

Besides, who says I've spent that much time with him?

Every time we meet, all we talk about are specifications, modifications, and money.

That guy is a total tech madman and a money-grubber."

"Ugh! Sis, you're useless!"

Su Yunxi pouted in disgust, tossed the clothes in her hands aside, and ran out, hitching up her skirt.

"I'm going to ask Mom! Mom definitely knows what men like!"

Watching her sister's retreating figure as she dashed out in a flurry, Su Muxue pressed a hand to her aching head.

'Ever since she returned from Suspended Mountain, that girl has been acting as if she's possessed.'

'At first, it was just gratitude for saving her life.'

'Then, when she heard Han Feng had cut down an Evil Cultist in the street, that gratitude turned into admiration.'

'And after that, when news of the battle at Dragon's Fang Port got back, the stars in the girl's eyes were practically overflowing. She started pestering Su Jian every day for news about Han Feng.'

'That guy...'

Su Muxue walked to the window and watched a shuttle slowly enter the estate grounds in the distance.

The C Level Mechanic who once stood before her in gray overalls, needing her approval to even get a spot in the Suspended Mountain trials...

...had now become an honored guest of the Su Family, one whom even her arrogant older brother was fawning over.

In just a few short months, he had gone from a complete unknown to a famous figure throughout the East Sea.

Such a growth rate was more outrageous than any genius she had ever seen, to the point that it felt surreal.

"Defeating a Tier Four opponent while in the Meridian Passage Realm..."

Su Muxue murmured under her breath, her gaze falling upon the young man as she grew lost in thought.

'Just how do you practice your Cultivation?'

As she watched the calm young man on the shuttle, she couldn't suppress the urge to learn more about him.

'Maybe tonight, I can find a chance to ask him about some Cultivation matters?'

'After all, who doesn't want to become stronger?'

'Even as the eldest daughter of the Su Family, she also yearned for the kind of power that would let her control everything.'

At this thought, Su Muxue turned and walked toward her dressing room.

'Although I said I didn't care, this is a formal banquet for an "ally" of his caliber. I can't dress too casually.'

'That silver-white gown... seems rather nice?'
