The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Lu Yichen

What a splendid sight beneath the clear moonlit sky, a man of unparalleled elegance stood there, impossible to be ignored even if he did nothing but stand.

In the moonlight, within the garden, two individuals with soft, youthful features of outstanding appearance stood opposite each other, a breeze passing by and bringing with it a wave of coolness.

Zhong Niangyao quietly observed the man standing not far from her, her heart filled with shock.

Not because the man was outstanding, but because of the purple aura surrounding him.

Since ancient times, those bearing the purple energy were individuals with an Emperor Fate Chart, and they possessed great Qi Fortune. Individuals destined by the Emperor Fate Chart were impervious to all evil, undisturbed by the Hundred Demons. However, the man before her, in addition to the rare purple energy, also carried a strand of Evil Qi.

It was known that throughout history, purple energy and Evil Qi had always been natural enemies; if one didn’t devour the other, then one eroded the other. Yet, these two contradictory energies peacefully coexisted in the same person in a strange balance, neither offending the other.

What was most shocking was that the purple energy and Evil Qi within this man seemed to amazingly coexist in peace, maintaining a bizarre balance.

Having lived past lives, Zhong Niangyao dared to say she had seen countless Life Charts and had calculated countless destinies for others. However, she had never encountered such a Life Chart.

Moreover, as the sole inheritor of the Ghost Valley Master’s lineage, she had opened her Heavenly Eye since childhood. Yet, she couldn’t deduce anything about this man. It was as if a thin mist concealed everything, making it impossible for her to see through the man’s destiny.@@novelbin@@

It was said that one could not calculate their own fate; indeed, she could never read her fate or that of someone with whom she was deeply entwined.

The man before her certainly didn’t fall into that category. Yet, she could not divine any information about him.

“Do you need something?”, asked the man with a cool voice. “You have been looking at me for quite a while. Is there something you need?”

A normal girl would certainly feel embarrassed and ashamed upon hearing such words and might cover her face and leave immediately.

However, Zhong Niangyao was no ordinary person; she simply retracted her gaze indifferently and shrugged, “I apologize, I must have wandered here unconsciously, not intending to disturb you.”

The man opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something more, but at that moment, a series of voices could suddenly be heard from not far away.

Zhong Niangyao frowned and took a step to leave.

No matter who the man before her was, or who the newcomers were, she had no interest. If it wasn’t for her grandparents’ insistence, she wouldn’t even be here today.

But before she could leave, the man grasped her hand and drew her in, and, using the trees as cover, they both immediately hid in the shadows.

Zhong Niangyao struggled a bit, as it seemed she didn’t want to be dragged into any trouble.

But as soon as she made a move, a low, magnetic voice came from above, “Don’t move.”

Zhong Niangyao instantly quieted down, but it wasn’t because of the man’s warning. The voices were getting closer, and any noise at this moment would indeed make their current situation difficult to explain.

Although she wasn’t afraid of trouble, she disliked it immensely.

“Jingjing, are you sure you saw Third Young Master Lu in this part of the garden?”, Ma Shishi asked tentatively as her friend Liu Haojing pulled her along, “Look, we’ve almost searched the whole garden without seeing anyone. Could he still be in his room?”

“I had just asked a moment ago!”, Liu Haojing looked around, puzzled, “How come there is no sign of anyone in the garden?”

“Then maybe we should go back.”, Ma Shishi hesitantly said, “Otherwise, if we go back after the birthday feast has started, it won’t look good.”

“Are you really going to back down just like that?”, Liu Haojing stopped walking and looked disapprovingly at Ma Shishi, “This is a rare opportunity to meet Third Young Master Lu. If you back out now, you might not get another chance to be alone with him later.”

The mention of this made Ma Shishi’s complexion change, “Then let’s keep looking.”

“I don’t understand why you’d like Third Young Master Lu that much,” Liu Haojing said, failing to comprehend, “Everyone knows that Third Young Master Lu is a weakling. Aren’t you afraid of loneliness if you marry him?”

As soon as these words fell, Ma Shishi’s expression soured, and she spoke more seriously to Liu Haojing, “Jingjing, don’t speak nonsense, we are in the Lu Mansion. Have you thought about the consequences if someone heard what you just said?”

“I was just saying it casually.”, Liu Haojing spoke softly, her voice and demeanor suddenly more cautious and timid, “Besides, Fourth Young Master Lu likes you, don’t you think he’s a better choice?”

Not to mention anything else, but his healthy body was something Third Young Master Lu couldn’t compare with.

“I just like Third Master.”, Ma Shishi insisted with a hint of infatuation in her eyes, “You all don’t understand him; he’s really an exceptional person.”

Watching Ma Shishi’s demeanor, Liu Haojing pursed her lips and said no more. But inadvertently, a hint of jealousy flashed through her eyes.

The Ma Family might not be as prominent as the Lu Family, but they were still a first-rate wealthy family in the Imperial Capital. Ma Shishi, the daughter of the Ma Family, had always been infatuated with Third Young Master Lu.

Unfortunately for her, it was a one-sided affair, as she was practically invisible to Third Young Master Lu. He simply did not acknowledge her existence.

Yet, Ma Shishi stubbornly pursued, constantly following behind Third Young Master Lu.

Liu Haojing envied Ma Shishi’s boldness in love, as she herself didn’t have the means to aspire so high. If it weren’t for her close friendship with Ma Shishi, she might not even have the qualifications to attend this banquet. Thus, she dared not dream of aspiring to any of the young masters of the Lu Family.

As the footsteps faded away, Zhong Niangyao took a step back, then looked up at the man before her with a half-smile, “Third Young Master Lu?”

Her question was phrased with certainty.

The man nodded, and his cool voice affirmed, “I am Lu Yichen.”
