Chapter 253 – Reportedly, a Hall Master has been parachuted in!

On the Void cruise ship, the facilities were luxurious, with attendants shuttling back and forth. The passengers were all from high society; anyone you encountered could be a big shot from some province.

Tang Hongyi followed beside Ye Sheng, curiously observing her surroundings.

Xu Xingchen walked excitedly ahead.

“Xu Xingchen, which cabin are we staying in?” Tang Hongyi asked.

Xu Xingchen adjusted his black-framed glasses. He had handled the tickets and replied, “We’re in the A-class cabin, the most top-tier and luxurious on the Void cruise ship.”

With a grin, he added, “The A-class cabins are limited in number and located in prime positions—not just anyone can stay there.” He glanced at Ye Sheng. “I managed to secure it by using the identity of Ye Sheng, the Great Emperor’s disciple.”

Tang Hongyi was curious. “Even students from Fengdu University don’t have that privilege?”

Xu Xingchen shook his head. “Not even close. Fengdu University students can only book C-class cabins.”

“So many rules,” Tang Hongyi sighed, letting out a breath of relief.

The three of them checked in and began enjoying the leisurely time on the cruise ship.

The journey to Dongsheng Province would take about half a month. Although it was a tedious trip, life on the Void cruise ship promised to be far more vibrant!

…

Night fell!

Under the night sky, the Void cruise ship was brilliantly lit, showcasing what it meant to be the epitome of luxury.

Various nightlife activities began one after another, making the cruise ship even livelier as the night deepened.

In one restaurant, the decor was simple yet elegant, with attendants moving quietly.

In the serene atmosphere, a professional pianist played, adding a touch of sophistication.

Ye Sheng and his two companions sat at a table, savoring the top-tier culinary skills of the chefs on the Void cruise ship—each chef working here was extraordinary in their own right.

Amid the quiet, a group of young people entered, both men and women, all dressed in opulent attire, clearly a bunch of privileged heirs.

They casually found a table and sat down. The attendants seemed to recognize them, serving food and drinks according to their usual preferences and attending to them carefully.

Once seated, the group of young people began chatting casually.

Their conversations revolved around topics ordinary people wouldn’t understand.

About ten minutes later, one young man looked at a youth at the same table and asked, “Young Master Jiang, did you gain anything from your trip to Fengdu City?”

The young man wore casual clothes, but every piece was a limited-edition designer brand. He lit a cigarette and began puffing away, smiling as he looked at the youth opposite him.

Jiang Luo looked dejected, downing a mouthful of alcohol before shaking his head. “Nothing gained. I couldn’t even meet any of the upper echelons at the Ghost King Hall headquarters!”

“Damn it!” he exclaimed angrily, slamming the table.

He had traveled from Dongsheng Province to Fengdu City this time to meet the upper echelons of the Ghost King Hall, hoping to find a way for his father and resolve some pressing issues for the Jiang Family.

But upon arriving in Fengdu City, he realized how incredibly difficult it was to meet the high-ranking figures at the Ghost King Hall headquarters!

Despite exhausting all his means and spending untold amounts of money, he hadn’t managed to meet even one! His status simply wasn’t enough!

“Jiang Luo, don’t rush it! Once we return to Dongsheng Province, we can figure things out slowly. There’s always a way to solve it!” the group of privileged heirs consoled him.

Most of these heirs were second-generation elites, with family backgrounds spanning both the military and political spheres.

However, when it came to a massive province-level power like the Ghost King Hall, they were powerless to help—their influence simply wasn’t enough.

Jiang Luo shifted the topic, tapping his fingers on the table with a furrowed brow. “But I did receive an important piece of information. The headquarters of the Ghost King Hall is actually planning to parachute a Hall Master into Dongsheng Province to take charge of the Ghost King Hall there!”

“Really?”

The group was astonished. Such a significant personnel change made them forget to savor the delicacies in their hands, and they all perked up their ears to listen.

This matter could potentially affect the forces behind them.

Jiang Luo tapped the table slowly, producing a rhythmic thumping sound, his gaze heavy. “Of course it’s true. To obtain this information, I spent a fortune greasing palms! It drained all the funds I had on hand!”

“A Hall Master parachuted in! This is major news…” one person also said gravely, leaning back slowly in his chair.

“Indeed, the Hall Master of the Ghost King Hall! That’s a heavyweight figure!”

“Fengdu City is far from Dongsheng Province. The various forces in Dongsheng probably haven’t received this news yet, or it would stir up massive waves.”

The Ghost King Hall is a province-level power, a behemoth! The movement of its upper echelon often triggers shifts in the power landscape, affecting countless people.

Everyone would pay attention to this!

“Specifically? Did you find out who they’re sending?” a young noble asked the key question. In their intelligence network, there were only a few big shots who could potentially be parachuted into Dongsheng Province.

“Not clear!” Jiang Luo shook his head and sighed. This matter involved too much, and the person who leaked the information to him didn’t dare to say more. He simply couldn’t extract any additional details.

There was no other way. When it came to the upper echelon, those below had to be cautious with their words and actions!

Especially when it involved the Hall Master of the Ghost King Hall—the level was too high, requiring even greater care.

Even revealing just this much carried life-threatening risks, as one could be secretly eliminated.

“Alright, let’s talk about something more cheerful.” Tang Yu spoke up, stubbing out his cigarette and smiling. “Jiang Luo, weren’t you looking for a way out?

This Void cruise ship is the perfect opportunity!

Everyone who can board this ship has an extraordinary status. Making a connection with just one of them might solve your urgent problems!”

As he spoke, Tang Yu glanced around the restaurant.

Soon, his eyes lit up as he spotted three young people sitting at a table not far away, leisurely enjoying their meal.

What caught his attention was that, on this Void cruise ship, most people were either middle-aged or white-haired Elders. Seeing peers was truly a rare opportunity.

“Look at that table over there…” Tang Yu gestured with his chin, signaling the others to look.

The group of young nobles followed his gaze and also smiled. Seeing peers on the Void cruise ship was indeed not an easy thing.

“Shall we get to know them?” one young noble asked with a smile.

“Of course!”

Another nodded in agreement. “How could we miss such an opportunity!”

Many people believe that most young nobles are spoiled and frivolous, but that’s not the case!

They receive the highest level of education from a young age and are subjected to the strictest upbringing.

The social circles they interact with daily are also vastly different, giving them a perspective far beyond that of ordinary people.

While there are indeed some frivolous ones among them, the majority are elites!

Among them… social skills are something they are most adept at!

From a young age, he had been trained by his parents to attend various high-end occasions and socialize with people, so no one would feel embarrassed.

Tang Yu smiled, called over a waiter, slipped a tip into his pocket, and then gestured toward Ye Sheng’s table, indicating he should go over.

The waiter understood immediately; he was quite familiar with such matters.
