    Chapter 785: Chapter 785 Is This What You Call Mediocre Looks? (4th Update)


    Yet the many girls didn’t find this exaggeration at all, feeling it entirely justified instead.


    Even Nangong Yao, who had voiced doubt, was stunned into silence.


    Only the girl in purple who started theints sneered, “Shangguan Yan, look at you drooling all over the ce, just like a silly lovesick fool!”


    Shangguan Yan nced at the girl in purple and said coldly, “Yes, I am lovesick, so what?”


    The girl in purple chuckled, “Nothing much, but howe I heard that this Elixir King Xue already has ady?”


    At her words, Shangguan Yan and the many girls looked at each other and then allughed.


    “Of course we know about it, and not only does Lord Xue have ady, he even has a child!” said Shangguan Yan indifferently.


    “Then why are you all…” said the girl in purple in surprise.


    Shangguan Yanughed, “Because we’ve heard that Lord Xue’sdy is quite a mediocre-looking woman!”


    “That’s right, they say she has a good figure, but unfortunately, her face is too in and ordinary, not at allparable to us!”


    At this point, Shangguan Yan added, “I suppose all the sisters here are acting on their families’ instructions! From now on, it all depends on our own skills! Anyway, I am determined to win over Lord Xue! Because I believe, there isn’t a man in the world who can resist me!”


    Shangguan Yan’s words were filled with immense confidence, and she spoke decisively and resolutely.


    In fact, within her own family, relying on her parents’ favor, Shangguan Yan always had the final say.


    This time,ing to Wandan City to watch the excitement, she happened to witness Xue An achieve the Heaven Rank.


    She was deeply impressed by Xue An’s demeanor and decided he was the one for her, and her parents supported her decision wholeheartedly, which led her to make such a bold announcement.


    Shangguan Yan’s words made many girls ufortable, and many secretly resolved to give Shangguan Yan a run for her money.


    Just then, amotion arose at the entrance, and Lü Baiyue, along with her father Lu Lie and their entourage, walked into the hall.


    The wealth and influence of the Lü Family of Heavenly Square were enormous, so their arrival immediately captured everyone’s attention.


    “Greetings to the Lü Family Head!”


    “Good day to you, Lady Bai Yue!”


    These greetings echoed one after another throughout the hall.


    Lu Lie nodded and greeted everyone, his smile bright and radiant.


    At this moment, an elder from the Elixir Dao Association approached, “To have the Lü Family Heade in person is truly an honor for us! Please, take the seat of honor!”


    He then personally led the way, escorting the Lü Family members toward the high tform.


    Shangguan Yan and the other girls naturally noticed this scene.


    Especially upon seeing the poised Lü Baiyue, many girls couldn’t help but admire.


    “Speaking of which, Lü Baiyue is only about our age, and yet she’s already a Profound Rank Pill Master, invited to take a high seat at such a grand event!”


    Shangguan Yan watched it all silently, her beautiful eyes sparkling, as if contemting something.


    Meanwhile, on the high tform, Ling Ruoxu looked at Lu Lie with a smile that was not quite a smile, then turned his gaze toward Lü Baiyue by his side.


    “Miss Bai Yue, it has been three years since ourst encounter, hasn’t it?”


    Yuxu Pce had many business dealings with the Lü Family, so they were quite familiar with each other.


    However, Lü Baiyue was not fond of this Ling Ruoxu.


    She could sense the greed hidden deep within his gaze.


    She merely nodded slightly but did not speak.


    A hint of coldness shed in Ling Ruoxu’s eyes, and he cursed inwardly.


    He had met Lü Baiyue more than once, yet every time, it was the same situation; no matter what he said, Lü Baiyue remained indifferent.


    This really irked Ling Ruoxu.


    Especially this time.


    Ling Ruoxu thought to himself, what airs you Lü Family are putting on!


    In the Central Region, which major sect doesn’t know what happened to your Lü Family?


    The eldest son killed, the ancestralnds destroyed.


    And yet, to date, you’ve been unable to find the murderer.


    If you Lü Family can’t resolve this matter, your influence will definitely diminish.


    By then… huhuhu!


    Ling Ruoxu mulled over in his heart.


    The hour was alreadyte.


    But the protagonist everyone was waiting for, the newly appointed Elixir King, still hadn’t appeared.


    As a result, the entire hall inevitably became noisy.


    “What’s going on? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”


    “Exactly! We’ve been waiting for so long, why hasn’t this Elixir King shown up? Isn’t this attitude a bit too much?”


    The mor grew louder and louder, even showing signs of bing uncontroble.


    All the elders of the Elixir Dao Association showed a look of surprise and uncertainty.


    How could the situation suddenly appear to be spiraling out of control?


    Could someone be scheming behind the scenes?


    Ling Ruoxu sat in his chair, a smug smirk barely visible on his lips.


    But at that very moment.


    Sudden exmations of astonishment came from outside the hall.


    Right after, Xue Anxin strode in.


    His arrival brought joy to the many girls in the corner of the hall.


    Especially Shangguan Yan, who excitedly stood up, ready to go over to him.


    But after taking just one step, she stopped.


    Because behind Xue An, a woman dressed in ancient costume emerged.


    The beauty of this woman was beyond the power of words to describe.


    Even Shangguan Yan and the other women were stunned on the spot.


    If the girls were struck thus, the men were even more so.


    The entire hall gradually quieted down, everyone staring dazedly at An Yan.


    Under so many gazes, An Yan’s cheeks reddened at a visible rate, then she shyly hid behind Xue An, too embarrassed to show her face again.


    This made many couldn’t help but sigh with admiration.


    Then, a childish voice spoke, “Daddy, when are we going to have the big meal?”


    When the crowd looked toward the voice, they found a pair of exquisitely adorable little girls following close behind.


    This revtion sent shockwaves through many onlookers.


    And those most affected were the wealthy youngdies who had arrived early, hoping to use this opportunity to establish a good rtionship with the new Elixir King.


    But An Yan’s appearance ruthlessly shattered these people’s fantasies.


    Under the shadow of An Yan’s beauty, the girls didn’t even have the courage to approach and make conversation.


    At this moment, the girl in purple spoke with an incredulous tone, “Is this the ‘ordinary girl’ you spoke of?”


    This question filled many girls with bitterness.


    Particrly Shangguan Yan, who stared nkly at Xue An.


    Her heart slowly sinking.


    Because she knew she stood no chance at all.


    Lü Baiyue was also restless, equally astonished by An Yan’s beauty.


    But she felt a growing difort in her heart.


    It was then that she heard Ling Ruoxu’s covetous voice near her.


    “What a beauty!”
