Chapter 8 - Meeting

"Miss Dragon knows about it." Murong Yuchen signals the elder of the family not to act hastily.

"It is not that much of a secret in first-grade families. You need to enter the tower to improve your strength, or Xin will be in a tough spot at the main family base." Athena says to Murong Yuchen.

"Miss Dragon, there is no need to worry about it. He will break through the Black stage in a few years. Then everything will be sorted out." Murong Xin replies optimistically.

"You need to know everyone is preparing for the upcoming war. Some people may try to take advantage of it. We have already seen the sparks of the war last year at the Noor family base. The more strength you have, the chances would be more to survive. You need to be at least star-commander to participate in the war and King stage to have a surviving chance." Athena gives a brief description of the upcoming war.

All the elders of the Murong family are shocked. They still wonder, on what level would the war be to require this much force to face it.

Murong Qiuyue and Amelia Melany are on the side, thinking about what this war is about and shocked that 'Falaguerra' is the enemy in the war.

'So, this is it. Art was right, everyone in the family is hiding something big. Art suspiciousness is correct.' Amelia mumbles and ponders about what Athena said just now.

"Ah... looks like Art has arrived here. Don't let him know that I have come here. Amelia, you need to get stronger even though you are powerful but compared to Demon princess and Elf princess, you are still a mile away from them." Athena leaves after saying this sentence like a wind.

All the elders were terrified at the scene and had a cold sweat. They were trying to attack such a monster just now. An elder breaking the silence asks Murong Yuchen, "Branch Head, Who was that woman?"

All the elders were curious.

Murong Yuchen had veins in his head and released his spirit energy. Murong Yuchen was visibly angered.

"You idiots, do you have a death wish? I am speaking very politely means she is on a whole different level than us. We are nothing but ants in front of her. She is one of five leaders in the tower, 'The lady of Dragon Family'. You dared to show killing intent towards her. I was scared out of my shit. The lady beside her is on Gold-stage before 18. You can fathom just who is she now! I will tell you now her grandson will visit now. Be as polite as can you be. He is also the fiance of Qiuyue. His name is Art Vivian." Murong Yuchen lashes onto the elders of the family.

"You need to calm down. Miss Dragon is an understanding person and goddess for the younger generation. If she wanted to make a move, even the main family base would not be able to stand up to her, let alone the branch family." Murong Xin calms everyone.

Amelia and Qiuyue were walking in the garden.

"So, What type of person is Art?" Qiuyue was curious about her fiance as he would be the most important person in her life.

"As the name implies. He is creative and likes to do what he wants. Art, a befitting name for him. Well, he is undoubtedly the most handsome man I have ever seen." Amelia replies with pride.

Qiuyue is surprised by her answer. Then, she takes her phone start listening to music to pass some time. Amelia sees her listening to music, then starts laughing. Qiuyue sees her but doesn't understand why she is laughing.

"Do you like Mask?" Amelia asks her.

Qiuyue replies enthusiastically and asks her why she is making such a question, "Yeah, I love his song. Why?"

"You will find out soon, sooner the better for you."

Amelia smiles mysteriously and leaves her alone.

"What was that?" Qiuyue was dumb folded by the actions of Amelia.

--Entrance of Murong Family--

Many people were coming to the Murong House. Art felt a familiar aura nearby.

'There would no way Grandma would come, right?' Art thought to himself.

In the vicinity, Athena was watching Art.

'His perception skills are scary. He has become tall and handsome. Ha...! How many more girls will fall for him? I think I can expect a minimum of 50 great-grandchildren.' Athena smiles while mumbling to herself.

"Why do I get a strange feeling suddenly?" Art feels something ominous happening to him somewhere.

"Why are you standing there like a statue?" Mei Xing wakes Art from his daze.

"From here, I will go alone. Thank you for helping me." Art says to Su He and Mei Xing.

"Oh!" Sudden sadness swells up inside the heart of Mei Xing. She tries to say something but decides not to say it.

Art and Ning Xiuying goes towards the entrance to meet the head of the Murong family. They arrive near the gate. The gatekeeper is in blue clothing with a sword on his back and a spear in his hand. He is on the 1st level of White level. His strength can be regarded as good and considered an elite on earth.

The gatekeeper stops and asks them to show their invitation and tell the reason for the visit to the Murong House politely. The attitude was neither overbearing nor cowardly. He has a proper etiquette of a professional in this field.

"My name is Art Vivian. I came to visit the head of the Murong family on behalf of my mother." Art replies to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper was surprised after hearing his name and immediately led him towards the main hall. Murong House was huge for a branch family on a small planet. It had four mansions and eight halls.

The security was good for a branch family with many white-level and violet-level. The architecture was pretty unique, with a traditional Chinese style house in the middle.

Art enters the main hall and sees a familiar figure in the distance.

"Who is she?" Amelia asks Art while pinching him.

"Oh! She is Ning Xiuying. I bought her from the auction then told her to move to a different region and live happily but, she refused and continued to follow me." Art replies to Amelia.

"Oh... I got another younger sister! She is my ninth younger sister. Sorry for the late introduction, My name is Amelia Melany. I am Art's wife." Amelia introduces herself to Ning Xiuying while clinging to Art intimately.

"My name is Ning Xiuying. Currently, I am the servant of Master Art. But, in the future, I will become his wife." Ning Xiuying replies Amelia while bowing towards her.

'She is beautiful. I am a beauty in my own league, but she is way above the league. I can also develop it in a few years, so I will definitely not lose to her on that.' Ning Xiuying mumbles in herself while looking at her breasts.

"Let's go and meet Murong Qiuyue." Art interrupts the conversation between them.

Art leads them towards the main hall.

As soon as Art enters the hall, the elder respectfully bows toward him. Art sees a middle-aged man in the centre. He sees a lady sitting beside him with a young boy standing next to them with similar facial features as the middle-aged man.

"You are Art Vivian. I thought you would be a prodigy with unparalleled talent, but looking at this, it seems you are only at super blue-level. As a descendent of that family, you should at least be in purple or white stage by now." Murong Yuchen says to him.

"My name is Art Vivian. I came here to meet Murong Qiuyue and her family. I have bought only this many gifts for my visit to the Murong House. As for my level of strength, I am well aware that I am very weak, but I feel as the son-in-law of a first-rate family who is only at the 10th level of gold-level and practising pure realm art should have no right to criticize my strength." Art replies to him in a direct voice.

"I really can't underestimate them even though you are at the super blue level you can see through me easily. Your mental fortitude is a league above the level which you are displaying. Your aura and magic are very dense. I have not seen someone with such dense magic energy and realm energy. Looks like the rumour were true about you being one of the few little monsters in the tower." Murong Yuchen measures Art's strength.

"The head of the family overpraises me." Art politely replies to him.

'This kid...! He is scary. I can't imagine what strength he would have after a few years of training using those great resources.' Murong Yuchen ponders in himself.

"Let's get going to the party. Art, you look handsome. If I was not married then probably I would have fallen for you. I need to remind you that we will be announcing the relationship between you and Murong Qiuyue. This is my son, Murong Yichen. Murong Yichen, bring your sister to the party." Murong Xin informs about the party details and leaves Art with Murong family elders to show around the party.

'Now my mother-in-law is also teasing me. Am I that easy to tease?' Art thinks about it.

Art enters the party and sees many young people at this party. Their strength was very good for someone outside the tower. They all were in indigo or violet level.

'This party has more than what it meets the eyes.' Art mumbles in himself.

"Oh...! The eastern conference will be held five days from today. This party allows forming a team between prodigies of the upper eastern region. As far as I heard south eastern region has won at the conference which was held five years ago." Amelia tells Art about the eastern conference battle.

"Interesting...! Tell me more about it." Art gets excited after hearing about the eastern conference.

Ning Xiuying joins in the conversation by giving a brief description of the conference.

She says to him, "The conference battle will allow everyone to participate in the battle who are less than 20 years of age and are at a minimum of yellow-level. They allow everyone to form a team to hunt the monsters in the lower Himalayan region where the competition starts. Sixteen teams would be allowed to go to the next round. The next round would be a random competition to remove weaker participants. The real battle will be held at New Delhi where the third and final round will take place as they are the champions of the conference last time."

Suddenly, A huge burst of the aura is released to attract the attention of everyone. Murong Yuchen walks towards the stage with Murong Xin beside him. Murong Qiuyue and Murong Yichen walk behind them towards the stage.

An elder comes towards Art to lead him near the stage.
