Chapter 474: The Man Who Ranks First on the Dark List!

Since Yu and Tang Xiaorou were attending the wedding banquet together, Yu didn’t return to his apartment but instead went back to Tang Xiaorou’s home.

To make it convenient for his children to attend school, Tang Mingde had purchased a villa in the Golden Realm Villa District next to Nandu University.

This villa district wasn’t particularly high-end, but the environment was quite nice.

Inside the villa, there were only two female housekeepers and no one else.

“Sit here for a while. I’m going upstairs to shower and change clothes,” Tang Xiaorou said before heading upstairs.

Yu sat alone in the downstairs hall, drinking tea prepared by the housekeeper, and an hour passed quickly.

For Yu, showering and changing clothes would take at most ten minutes.

But Tang Xiaorou spent nearly ten times that amount of time.

It wasn’t until six thirty that she came downstairs.

By now, she had changed into a black evening gown with light makeup on her face, looking both lively and beautiful.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Tang Xiaorou said, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Yu didn’t mind, as killing time was the easiest thing for him.

“Let’s head out now. It will take some time to get to the wedding venue,” Tang Xiaorou said.

“Alright,” Yu stood up.

“Do you… want to change your clothes?” Tang Xiaorou looked at Yu’s long shirt, bit her red lips, and asked hesitantly.

She felt Yu’s outfit wasn’t appropriate for a wedding banquet, but she didn’t dare insist that he change.

“Do you have clothes for me to change into?” Yu asked.

“Of course! Would you like to change?” Tang Xiaorou’s beautiful eyes lit up as she asked.

“I can change,” Yu said.

He knew that attending the wedding banquet in his current outfit would attract attention.

If there happened to be many people who recognized him, it could be troublesome.

Five minutes later, Yu changed into the black suit that Tang Xiaorou had prepared.

Seeing Yu walk out of the room, Tang Xiaorou was momentarily stunned.

“What’s wrong?” Yu asked.

“This is the first time I’ve seen you in formal wear…” Tang Xiaorou said.

“Stop staring, let’s go,” Yu said.

Tang Xiaorou came back to her senses, her face reddening as she followed behind Yu out the door.

…

The wedding banquet was being held at the Tiangong Garden Hotel in Nandu.

This was the highest-class hotel in Nandu.

When Yu and Tang Xiaorou arrived at the hotel entrance, they saw a long red carpet laid out.

At the hotel entrance, there was an announcement board.

“Welcome friends and family to the wedding banquet of Yu Ruobing and Chen Xiangwen…”

Yu had never heard of either of these names and didn’t know them at all.

Tang Xiaorou pulled Yu onto the red carpet and whispered, “Actually, this wedding banquet is quite interesting. Would you like to hear about it?”

“Go ahead,” Yu said.

“Yu Ruobing is the CEO of the Yu Group in Xiangcheng, a well-known business genius. And the man she’s marrying, Chen Xiangwen, was her personal bodyguard,” Tang Xiaorou whispered. “I heard the Yu family strongly opposed this marriage, but Yu Ruobing was determined to marry Chen Xiangwen regardless, even threatening to kill herself… that’s why we have today’s wedding banquet.”

“Personal bodyguard?” Yu’s expression turned strange. This situation was similar to the plots of some novels he had read in his spare time.

“I heard that less than half of the bride’s family is attending today, and not a single person from the groom’s side has come. Instead, business partners like us have shown up in large numbers… that’s why I said this wedding banquet is interesting,” Tang Xiaorou continued.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the hotel entrance. Tang Xiaorou presented the invitation card and they entered the hotel.

The wedding banquet wasn’t being held on the first floor, but in the garden on the top floor.

So after entering the hotel, they still needed to take the elevator to the sixtieth floor.

While in the elevator, Yu sensed the presence of many martial artists.

It seemed that quite a few martial artists were attending today’s wedding banquet.

Reaching the sixtieth floor and exiting the elevator, they were immediately greeted by a bustling crowd.

Ahead was a spacious garden with exquisite flower beds and small fountains.

At the far end of the garden, a stage had been set up where people would give speeches later.

Over a hundred guests stood at various spots in the garden, conversing quietly.

“Wasn’t there supposed to be lots of good food? I don’t see any,” Yu looked around but couldn’t find any food tables.

“Don’t be impatient! Once the banquet starts, there will definitely be food!” Tang Xiaorou said.

The guests all seemed to know each other, greeting one another every few steps.

Yu and Tang Xiaorou remained outside this circle.

“Sigh, it’s really boring,” Tang Xiaorou said.

Yu didn’t say anything.

The boredom was expected, but not seeing any food was somewhat miscalculated.

Yu and Tang Xiaorou wandered aimlessly around the garden. Tang Xiaorou’s beauty attracted quite a bit of attention, but seeing Yu beside her, no one approached to chat.

After wandering a bit more, Tang Xiaorou turned and said, “Yu, look…”

Only then did she realize that Yu had disappeared.

“Where did he go!?”

Tang Xiaorou looked around, searching for Yu.

At that moment, a handsome man approached Tang Xiaorou, displaying a charming smile, and asked, “Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of knowing your name?”

Tang Xiaorou noticed a girl standing behind the man.

The girl kept her head down, hiding her face.

Tang Xiaorou didn’t want to engage with this man, but she remembered Tang Mingde’s instructions.

All the guests attending tonight’s wedding banquet were merchants from Xiangcheng, and they absolutely couldn’t offend any of them. The Tang family’s business might expand to Xiangcheng in the future, so they needed to establish good relationships now.

“My name is Tang Xiaorou. And you?” Tang Xiaorou forced a smile and asked.

“I am Zhao Xuan,” the man smiled confidently and replied.

“Zhao Xuan…” Tang Xiaorou had never heard this name before.

“How is a young lady like you attending the wedding banquet alone? Someone as beautiful as you…” Zhao Xuan continued with a long string of compliments.

Tang Xiaorou felt nothing inside, but she still maintained a pleasant conversation with Zhao Xuan.

“Miss Tang, after the wedding banquet, would you be willing to…” Zhao Xuan continued.

At this point, the girl who had been standing behind him, Zhao Zinan, tugged at his sleeve and said softly, “Brother, stop bothering Miss Tang. She’s not interested in you…”

Zhao Xuan’s expression changed, and he was about to speak.

“And this is…?” Tang Xiaorou asked.

“She’s my sister, Zhao Zinan. She’s quite shy,” Zhao Xuan introduced.

Zhao Zinan raised her head, glanced at Tang Xiaorou, and immediately averted her gaze, greeting softly, “Hello, Miss Tang.”

“Hello,” Tang Xiaorou was struck by Zhao Zinan’s appearance.

So beautiful!

Yet, she kept her head down most of the time, which was strange.

…

While Tang Xiaorou was conversing with Zhao Xuan, Yu had already left the garden and returned to the inner hall.

While wandering in the garden, he had noticed something interesting.

Killing intent.

Among that group of people, several waves of killing intent had emerged!

This meant that something was bound to happen at tonight’s wedding banquet.

And the targets of the killing intent were most likely the protagonists of the wedding.

Yu Ruobing and Chen Xiangwen.

This matter originally had nothing to do with Yu.

But when Yu passed by one of the men emitting killing intent, he sensed a familiar dark energy.

The Wushen Cult!

This was the energy signature of the Wushen Cult members!

Yu had always wanted to uproot the Wushen Cult’s headquarters, but they were extremely cautious, never giving him the opportunity.

Today might be that opportunity.

As Yu was walking, a figure suddenly approached from the opposite direction and bumped heavily into his shoulder.

“I’m sorry.”

It was a man wearing a white suit, with stubble on his face and a weathered appearance.

Yu looked at him, his gaze shifting slightly.

This man appeared to be around thirty years old on the surface, with a gentle expression.

But the sharpness hidden in his eyes was difficult for ordinary people to detect. On his neck, there was a subtle scar from a knife.

Most importantly, this man seemed to contain extremely powerful energy within him.

Although he was trying hard to suppress it, Yu easily detected it.

As Yu was examining the man, the man also gave Yu a few extra glances.

But in the man’s eyes, Yu was just an ordinary martial artist at the Innate Realm, nothing special.

After apologizing, the man turned and left, heading toward the garden.

He had a Bluetooth earpiece on his left ear and was currently on a call.

“Don’t rush. I need to eliminate the bugs that have infiltrated before I can find you. Soon, give me five minutes.”

After saying this, the man removed his Bluetooth earpiece.

“It seems I’ve been in hiding for too long, and no one remembers the Dark Reaper anymore…”

The man scanned the garden filled with guests, his eyes flashing with cold light.

No one knew that he was the nameless top-ranked figure on the Dark List!

The Dark Reaper, Chen Xiangwen!
