Chapter 109: Mana?



*******

"I thought this was a family dinner." Wei Jun asked, ignoring her earlier remarks.

"Aren\'t we family?" Liu Yu asked with a smile, referring to their engagement, however, Wei Jun could see the war emotions of loathe and despise clearly in her eyes.

They were anything but family. However, Wei Jun also didn\'t care about that. He simply nodded and said, "Then let us not waste any time here."

"Oh." Liu Yu lightly exclaimed and said, "Does talking to me feel like a waste of time?" She pretended to be playfully offended.

Wei Jun could see through her every fake action. Of course, it would be very difficult for someone else but Wei Jun was experienced with all kinds of people.

He perfectly knew what Liu Yu was and what her goals were. He didn\'t hate her for it but so far, her actions had been very unfriendly to him so he was not going to have a friendly conversation with her as well.

"Yes." Wei Jun curtly replied, a reply that even Liu Yu wasn\'t prepared for. Wei Jun simply turned after his reply and left for the front door, leaving Liu Yu stunned.

When Wei Jun finally entered the house, he came to know that it wasn\'t a dinner he was attending, it was a gathering. The lobby of the house was fully lit, with some soft music playing, and waiters moving around and offering drinks, shrimps, and other delicacies to the guests dressed in formal outfits.

Of course, as Wei Jun entered, all eyes turned to him. First of all, they were surprised by his looks. Wei Jun was good-looking before, but he was also scrawny, creating an inharmonic combination. However, his current visage was of a perfect human male. Tall, lean, fit, and handsome than all the men combined in the room at the moment.

Of course, they would be taken aback. Especially the women\'s class, some even forgetting about their partners standing next to them.

The second reason everyone was surprised was his presence. As far as they knew it, Wei Jun was supposed to be banished after he created some trouble for the family business, making them suffer a huge loss. The details of the matter were still not entirely known, however, what they were sure of was that Wei Jun wasn\'t welcome in the family anymore.

However, his presence at the moment suggested that he was back, or there were chances that he would soon be back. This wasn\'t a banquet for her mother\'s birthday, this was a private gathering to which Wei Jun would never have been invited.

However, he was. What that also meant was that he wasn\'t useless anymore. That also meant that some people present could potentially make contact with him, preferably offering the women members of their families.

Wei Jun examined everyone and found his current body\'s father, mother, and sister engaged with the guests. Wei Jun didn\'t go to them but instead made his way to the corner of the hall.

While people wanted to approach him, they couldn\'t do so because of the cold wall around Wei Jun. Something was just telling them that they shouldn\'t go near him.

Liu Yu entered shortly after Wei Jun which also implied some hidden meaning to the guests, well, a misunderstanding but they didn\'t know that. To them, it was like Liu Yu came just a minute after Wei Jun, potentially, they had come together.

There were rumors of their strained relationship but from the looks of it, it didn\'t seem to be the fact.

If only they knew the truth. But, they didn\'t, and that made them assume what their eyes were seeing.

As for Wei Jun, he examined everyone at the gathering and what he was surprised about was finding a foreigner. A blonde man. Wei Jun hadn\'t checked the geography of the world so he didn\'t know how many consistencies this world had with his world.

\'I should check that out soon.\' Wei Jun thought inwardly as it should have been one of the basic moves he should have done but he didn\'t.

If there was a chance that the world\'s nature was the same as his own world, then he needed to mold his plans according to that.

Just as Wei Jun was observing everyone, he heard a voice from beside him, "You should talk to someone, you know."

He recognized the owner of the voice so he didn\'t bother turning his head and said, "Why bother? They\'re all useless to me at the moment. On the contrary, I\'m more in demand at the moment. I should make my presence unique so that not everyone comes to me to waste my time."

Lin Ruan sighed and couldn\'t help but think that it was her same brother. Just a year in exile, and he had changed so much that she couldn\'t even recognize him, both internally and externally.

"But shouldn\'t you at least try? These people can help you with your movie, you know?" Lin Ruan argued.

Wei Jun simply turned to her and said, "And why would I need that? I can do that myself, and with no strings attached. Besides, I can guess the intentions most of them have. And also, they are yet to be completely sure of the situation that I have with my family."

Wei Jun wasn\'t sure of the situation with the Ruan family. But he did know that he was banished from Lin Ruan\'s words. If that was the case, then these people would have no reason to talk to him. Although there was a chance that he was back because he was there, it wasn\'t confirmed yet. So they would wait and see how the night goes after the entrance of the Patriarch of the family.

She was about to say something else when a woman made their way to them. From her brunette color and her face, to her dressing sense and especially her tall build, she didn\'t seem Asian. A western woman stopped in front of Wei Jun and said in English, "Nice to meet you, Mister Ruan."

She extended her hand for a handshake. Lin Ruan on the other hand was about to reply because she knew Wei Jun couldn\'t speak any foreign language since he hadn\'t even finished school properly.

However, before she could, Wei Jun spoke in flawless English, "Yes, nice to meet you. But forgive me for not knowing who you are."

The woman was taken aback by Wei Jun\'s flawless English but that wasn\'t all, his accent sounded so natural that she couldn\'t help but doubt if Wei Jun was Chinese.

However, soon her attention changed to the subtle diss Wei Jun had hit her with. She didn\'t have the courtesy to properly introduce herself, that was what Wei Jun subtly said.

"My apologies," The woman said with a smile and a slight blush as if embarrassed and said, "I am Melissa Edward. I come from the city of Midnight, Britain."

Wei Jun blinked slightly. The British Empire, a giant of the past from his previous world. The sole nation in the whole history of the world to have ruled over the entire world. However, the new state of Britain, which was later known as America revolutionized itself from the Britain empire.

However, it seemed like the same hadn\'t been done here. Although the woman was speaking in an American-like accent, she still introduced herself as a citizen of the British Empire.

Wei Jun decided to hold on to this information but not dig anymore since he needed information about it anyway.

Wei Jun smiled and replied, "Wei Jun Ruan. I have to say it is a pleasure to meet you." Wei Jun even kissed the back of her hand to confirm something. As expected, the woman reacted positively. That was the tradition of the British noble households. If that was the case, then Wei Jun could somewhat guess what the story was.

"It seems you have read some of our traditions, Mister Ruan," Melissa replied.

Wei Jun smiled and replied, "I do have some knowledge. But I hope to learn more."

Melissa smiled and said in a hushed voice, "And I will be happy to help if you would like." Her tone was far from friendly and fell straight into the boundaries of flirting.

Lin Ruan, who had started to feel like a third wheel, couldn\'t help but admire how natural the conversation had rolled to that point.

"I will be sure to remember that." Wei Jun replied. However, just at that moment, Melissa came closer and placed her hand on Wei Jun\'s shoulder. Wei Jun felt something as if something had entered his body. It wasn\'t Qi since Wei Jun couldn\'t feel any from the woman.

That answer of Wei Jun was answered by the system as multiple notifications appeared in his view.

[Mana has infiltrated the body of the host]

[Utilizing Qi to counter the mana]

[Mana has been neutralized]

\'Mana?\' Wei Jun frowned at the unfamiliar term.

However, as unfamiliar as he was, he still knew that it was a rude act, although it may not have been an act of hostility, it could still be considered one. His expression turned ice cold and he prepared to let some of his Qi inside Melissa.

However, before he could, the entrance of a person left him dumbfounded. He hadn\'t felt it before because he wasn\'t a cultivator but now that he was, he couldn\'t help but go wide-eyed at the enormous presence coming down the stairs.
