Chapter 35 - The Charm

Under the moonlit sky near Green Lake, there was a fancy place called the Floating Fragrance Restaurant. It sat on the water's edge and looked like something out of a dream. The air was sweet with the scent of blooming lotuses, making everything feel magical.

On this special night, the young masters from the Bai and Ye families gathered for a happy celebration.

The reason? The eldest son of the Ye family was getting engaged to the second daughter of the Bai family.

Excitement filled the air as everyone looked forward to this union.

The restaurant was a beautiful sight with its intricate wooden designs and hanging lamps casting a warm glow on the lake. The tables were set up on a platform above the water, giving everyone a stunning view.

Chujiu and Lin Kai were in invisible mode, Chujiu watched the scene with amazement. She admired the pretty architecture, the soft light reflecting on the water, and the many lotus flowers around. It was a perfect setting for a celebration of love. But there were no young misses around, only the young masters. This added a touch of mystery to the evening.

Chujiu and Lin Kai, hidden from view, exchanged curious glances, wondering why things were set up this way.

As the engagement festivities went on with toasts and laughter, Chujiu and Lin Kai, still in their invisible mode, enjoyed the magical atmosphere. They couldn't help but be captivated by the beauty of Green Lake and the charming Floating Fragrance Restaurant.

As everyone celebrated, the moonlight danced on the surface of the lake, making it shimmer. The old restaurant seemed to whisper stories of the past. The air buzzed with love and happiness, and Chujiu and Lin Kai couldn't help but feel charmed by the simple elegance and timeless beauty of Green Lake.

As Ye Yuan, the eldest young master of the Ye family, entered the venue with his brothers, he was taken aback by the surprising theme. Tall, masculine, and undeniably handsome, Ye Yuan carried an air of confidence.

Ye Yuan's striking features and well-built physique caught the attention of onlookers. With chiseled jawlines and a charismatic presence, he stood out in the crowd. The warm glow of the venue's lights highlighted his strong yet refined features, making him the epitome of attractiveness.

As Ye Yuan walked through the party, he couldn't stop thinking about the decorations. Everything was super romantic, but the way it was set up felt kind of wild and crazy. It was a strange mix that made the whole place feel interesting and mysterious.

Ye Yuan wandered through the party, confused by the decorations. It was supposed to be a celebration for the young men of the Ye and Bai families, but everything looked a bit wild and crazy. The theme was "love," which seemed strange considering there were no young women invited.

There can't be romance between young masters right?

Just then a playful voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Ye Yuan, are you surprised?"

The voice belongs to Bai Shan.

Ye Yuan is really surprised and asked, "Why is the theme here different than what I was told?"

Bai Shan playfully winked and said, "I arranged a gift for you and all the ye brothers. You will never forget this for the rest of your lives."

He also didn't knew about the theme until he came here. He clearly asked to arrange a festive theme. But since it is already arranged and it would somewhat fit the surprise he arranged, he had let it be.

Bai Shan turned to all the rest of the young masters and said loudly

"First, all of you take your seats and start enjoying the dishes and drinks."

Who wouldn't like surprises, everybody sat in their designated seats and all sorts of delicacies are served by the waiters.

As beautiful music filled the air, a group of dancers appeared at the top of the stage. They wore colorful dresses that flowed with the music, and they moved gracefully, like they'd been practicing for ages.

Their dance was amazing – their bodies told a story that matched the music perfectly. It was even more impressive when they started using swords! The shiny blades flashed in the lights, adding a bit of danger and excitement to the whole thing.

The beauty of the girls was not just in their physical appearance but also in the way they expressed themselves through the dance. Their eyes sparkled with passion, and their expressions conveyed a deep connection to the art they were creating. The audience, captivated by the skilful choreography and the sheer grace of the performers, watched in awe as the dance unfolded.

Applause erupted from the onlookers as the dance reached its climax, the combination of music, movement, and the glinting swords leaving everyone spellbound. The girls gracefully bowed as the final notes of the music faded away, their performance etching a lasting impression of beauty and skill in the hearts of the audience.

But Chujiu, who has seen all kinds of crazy dancing styles in her modern life, she is not much impressed. As the modern world is connected globally, several countries with different cultures and traditions have thousands of styles in both dance and music.

But surely dancing with swords is a bit nice... She has seen sword dancing in modern life too but that was not as graceful as this one. 

So she can give a few points for this performance.

Someone in the audience said in awe, "Isn't it Mystic Butterfly Sword Dance?"

Another person chimed in, "Are these girls from Mystic Maiden Sect?"

Bai Shan is proud of himself, he walked to the front and thanked the girls while clearing his throat, he announced their identities as the outer sect disciples of Mystic Maiden Sect.

The girls stood raising their heads proudly like peacocks and smiled at the audience.

Almost all of them are charmed by their smiles and expressions. Some of them started to drool at them. All of them have infatuated expression on their faces.

Lin Kai eyes turned gloomy, "They are already charmed. They must have used something on their clothes and it was released in to air while they were performing the dance earlier."
