Chapter 2363: Chapter 2364: Celebration Banquet
Yue Clan.
Yue Hechang led many elders of the Yue Clan, their hands full with tasks, barely able to cope.
One must understand that this gathering was the first major assembly since the unification of the Bing Family, and it was being held at the Yue Clan, which naturally rendered its significance extraordinary.
Therefore, Yue Hechang and the others were all on high alert, busy with the preparations for the party.
Despite the exhausting and tedious work, not a single person showed any signs of annoyance.
On the contrary, every face was adorned with smiles.
Although physically tired, they were spiritually deeply satisfied.
After all, this was the scene they had dreamed of for so long!
In such an atmosphere, people from various families flocked in, quickly bringing liveliness to the Yue Clan.
As night descended, with the appearance of Yue Shifang, the banquet atmosphere finally reached its peak.
No matter what grudges the families had before, at this moment, they all set aside their prejudices, raising their glasses to toast the arrival of Yue Shifang.
Watching the bustling and glamorous scene, Xue An, sitting in an inconspicuous corner, smiled slightly and then poured himself a drink.
At this moment, a fragrant breeze swept by, and the cushion on the chair beside him sank slightly.
"Why are you hiding here drinking alone?" Yue Qinghuan asked with a smile.
"Nothing, I just don’t really like this kind of lively scene!" Xue An replied indifferently.
"Actually, I feel the same way, staying with those ladies from the families is so annoying!"
Saying this, Yue Qinghuan leaned back lazily on the chair, stretching with no reservations.
Even without deliberately looking, sitting so close, Xue An could catch a glimpse of her astonishing silhouette from the corner of his eye.
Especially today, Yue Qinghuan was wearing a brand new peach pink dress, clearly a masterpiece by a skilled tailor, perfectly showcasing her already flawless figure.
Xue An turned his head slightly, feeling a bit unnatural.
This small move might deceive others but not Yue Qinghuan, who flashed a mischievous look in her eyes, deliberately leaning a little closer to Xue An.
Xue An coughed lightly, "Cough, cough, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to sit here like this?"
"Why is it inappropriate?"
"Haven’t you noticed everyone is watching you?" Xue An said with a wry smile.
Just as he said, when the goddess of the Yue family, Yue Qinghuan, sat here, almost all eyes were drawn to her.
After all, Yue Qinghuan not only had peerless beauty but also an invincible brother.
Now, even a fool knows that after the unification of the Bing Family, Yue Qinghuan’s status has become even more honorable.
In this circumstance, naturally, many young talents harbored their own little thoughts of getting close to Yue Qinghuan.
But unexpectedly, Yue Qinghuan gave them no such opportunity. After accompanying her brother to make an appearance and chatting perfunctorily with those young mistresses, she went straight to sit beside Xue An.
This naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Especially when Xue An, dressed in white, sat with Yue Qinghuan, they seemed like a perfect couple, making many young men stare in silent fury.
However, for the people of the Yue family, this scene was not surprising at all.
In fact, many even had mysterious smiles on their faces.
To them, Xue An, who healed Yue Shifang’s wounds, was already considered family.
And the Third Miss’s affection for Xue An was something even a blind person could see.
If they indeed ended up together, it would truly be a joyous event!
In truth, without Xue An’s reminder, Yue Qinghuan, born with the ability to sense others’ inner good and evil, had long known that many people were watching her.
But she smiled nonchalantly, "So what? I’ll sit wherever I want, do I need their permission?"
Saying that, she even moved closer to Xue An, her soft skin already touching his arm.
A cold hum echoed in Xue An’s mind; it was An Yan in the Magic Treasures Pavilion giving him a warning.
Xue An smiled wryly and shifted a little to the side.
"Hmm, why do I feel you’re acting strangely today?" Yue Qinghuan said.
"What’s strange about me? No, I’m perfectly normal today!"
"Really?" Yue Qinghuan said with a meaningful look.
Xue An nodded, "Of course it’s true!"
"Then why don’t you dare to look at me!"
Xue An was silent for a moment, then softly said, "Because I am leaving!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Qinghuan trembled all over, her face instantly turning deathly pale.
"Leaving?"
"Yes! In fact, I intended to tell you after the banquet, but since you keep asking, I guess I’ll have to tell you now!"
Saying this, Xue An lifted his eyes to gaze quietly at Yue Qinghuan, "So... this is my farewell to you!"
Actually, Yue Qinghuan had long anticipated Xue An’s departure, but she dared not think about it, or rather, forced herself not to.
As if in doing so, the problem would cease to exist.
But today, when Xue An spoke the word farewell in front of her, Yue Qinghuan felt something very important inside her shatter with a crack.
So, he still has to leave?
Does he really not understand my feelings?
Even if he has a family, I would still be willing...
For a time, countless chaotic thoughts surged in her mind, making Yue Qinghuan’s gaze turn dreamy.
And it was this gaze, mixed with bewilderment and longing, that made Xue An feel like he truly was a heartless man, very uncomfortable.
After a long while, Yue Qinghuan finally spoke softly, "Where do you plan to go?"
"I don’t know yet, but the Sky Beyond the Skies is vast, I have to explore it, and also strengthen myself, after all you know what kind of people I have to deal with!" Xue An said softly.
"Then... does my brother know?"
"He doesn’t know yet, but he should be well aware that I will definitely leave!"
"But aren’t you the Commander-in-Chief for our Yue Clan...?"
Xue An smiled, "That role of Commander-in-Chief was just a joke, after all, my surname is Xue, not Yue!"
Yue Qinghuan gave Xue An a deep look, then lowered her head, saying softly, "Alright, then I wish you a safe journey!"
"Thank you!"
Immediately, an unspoken silence fell between the two.
Yue Qinghuan lowered her head, her long hair falling down, covering her face.
Yet Xue An still saw her slender shoulders trembling slightly.
This instilled a sense of guilt in Xue An, and he sighed deeply.
"Banquets all come to an end, I..."
Xue An was about to say a few comforting words, but before he could finish, Yue Qinghuan suddenly pounced into his arms, hugging him tightly around the waist and saying with a tearful voice.
"But I don’t want you to leave!"
Boom!
The entire banquet hall was stirred into commotion.
Countless young men glared at Xue An with eyes full of indignation.
