After a while, in the harmonious conversation of the crowd, Su Mingshuo suddenly put down his wine glass and stood up slowly.

Many senior officials' eyes suddenly fixed, and they looked towards the door unconsciously.

Because they knew——

The protagonist of this banquet has finally arrived.

At the same time, they all wanted to know which big shot in the imperial capital could make Su Mingshuo wait like this, postpone the Jiangcheng regular meeting, and send out invitations.

Such a scene is rare even in Jiangcheng.

As everyone's eyes gathered, the gate of the house was slowly pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in from outside.

At the moment of seeing the man's face clearly, although these powerful officials were all people who were used to big scenes, they couldn't help but feel their hearts beating wildly at this moment, and they suppressed their inner shock.

The man who walked in was not the majestic and experienced man with white hair as imagined.

On the contrary——

He was a handsome and dazzling young man, wearing a dark black shirt, with a tall figure, a natural noble look between his eyebrows, and a slightly raised mouth, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

With this appearance, the dignitaries in Jiangcheng... no!

It should be said that the dignitaries in the entire empire would not be unfamiliar with him!

The eldest son of the Shen family——

Shen Chen!

Even if they racked their brains, they would never have thought that he would appear here.

This prince of the empire actually came to Jiangcheng? !

Instinctively, they smelled a hint of unusual breath, which was the instinct of being a political creature.

Su Mingshuo had already stepped forward, and a friendly smile appeared on his square face.

"Nephew Shen, you have been tired all the way by boat and car, but you have worked hard."

"Father asked me to say hello to you on his behalf, Your Excellency the Governor."

Shen Chen shook hands with Su Mingshuo, bowed slightly, and smiled casually.

Speaking of Shen Xi, not only the officials present were shocked, but even Su Mingshuo was full of respect.

"Thank you for the care of Elder Shen Fei."

Then, Su Mingshuo patted Shen Chen's shoulder affectionately.

"Hahaha, nephew Shen, just call me Uncle Su."

"Uncle Su."

Shen Chen smiled and called out, making Su Mingshuo's eyebrows stretch with joy.

"Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is the eldest son of Elder Shen Xi of the Cardinal Bureau."

Su Mingshuo led Shen Chen to the center of the long table, facing the eyes of everyone, and introduced him to everyone with a refreshed spirit.

Although... Shen Chen's name has been the focus of all the nobles in the empire since he was born.

The status of Shen Chen, the eldest son of the Shen family, is far from comparable to them.

But at least on the surface, Shen Chen is just an ordinary citizen of the empire.

Just like Shen Chen respectfully called Su Mingshuo "Uncle Su", everyone knew that this was just a superficial courtesy.

Under the rules of the empire, there are some things that everyone understands, but they all tacitly don't point it out.

So they can only stand up and express their surprise and enthusiasm with a smile, just like they met Shen Chen for the first time.

More than 30 years ago, Su Mingshuo and Shen Chen's father Shen Xi were students who graduated from the same class of Imperial Capital University and had a classmate friendship.

So today Shen Chen nominally visited Su Mingshuo in a private capacity.

But!

All the dignitaries present are sensitive old foxes. Every move of an empire-level figure like Shen Xi will be magnified and deconstructed by them.

To be honest, just the moment they saw Shen Chen appear in the Governor's Mansion in Jiangcheng, they even thought about how to stand on the Su family in the next few years.

After all, if the Su family really embraced the thighs of the Shen family, the rise of the empire would be unstoppable.

"Haha, nephew Shen, come and sit down."

Su Mingshuo led Shen Chen to sit down, and immediately drank freely, his face slightly red, so unrestrained.

If those officials who were disciplined by Su Mingshuo saw this scene, they would probably stare out.

How could they have thought that the iron-blooded and cold-faced governor of Jiangcheng would show this side of him one day!

Su Mingshuo talked about some interesting things in Jiangcheng, which made everyone present laugh, and Shen Chen also smiled and nodded.

Facing Shen Chen, these senior officials who were usually very cold in front of their subordinates all turned into talkative and kind elders.

They all wanted to leave a little more impression in front of Shen Chen.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, they may still be in this position decades later, but Shen Chen will definitely take over his father's team and become one of the decision-makers of the imperial power.

Unfortunately, they don't know that in the near future-

There will be a terrible doomsday that will come and cleanse the entire human world.

At that time, all order and rules will be overturned.

Humanity will tear off the protective color of civilization and enter the dark age of the jungle.

......

"It's actually...Shen Chen."

From the moment Shen Chen showed up, all the young ladies of the noble families opened their mouths unconsciously, and their heartbeats accelerated uncontrollably.

How could they not know Shen Chen?

Even compared to those young men, they undoubtedly had the deepest obsession with Shen Chen.

Because since ancient times, the women of the empire have always had the gene of admiring the strong engraved in their bones.

And Shen Chen of the Shen family is the undisputed number one among the young people of the empire today.

Although each of them has a large number of suitors...

But the Shen Chen in the imperial capital, who they have only seen photos of, is the perfect person they can only dream of but cannot reach.

He is the prince charming that all of them have fantasized about, and the partner they have longed for but cannot get in their hearts...

Now, the eldest son of the Shen family who has always existed in rumors has actually come to Jiangcheng in person...

Thinking of being able to get close to him, they are almost excited to the point of going crazy.

They even subconsciously paid attention to their makeup, imagining whether there was a slight chance that Shen Chen would take a fancy to them and bring them to the imperial capital that they dreamed of reaching.

"Nephew Shen, this is my nephew, who usually worries me a lot."

Su Mingshuo introduced Shen Chen with a chuckle, and the young man he was referring to had a wickedly handsome face, but at this moment he showed the most generous and friendly smile in his life.

It was Su Xiao.

Ten breaths ago, Su Mingshuo only gave a vague glance when pouring wine, and Su Xiao understood and walked to the front of the crowd.

"But he is very familiar with Jiangcheng. If Nephew Shen wants to experience the customs of Jiangcheng, you can be taken there by my useless nephew."

After Su Mingshuo finished speaking, Su Xiao hurriedly introduced himself——

"Mr. Shen, nice to meet you, I am Su Xiao."

This man who is usually fearless, now bows his head to a peer, even a little servile.

But no one present was surprised.

All the high officials were turning their heads, thinking about what hidden meaning was behind Shen Chen's sudden appearance, and what kind of changes would it bring to the empire.

Did he get the instruction from his father Shen Fei?

And the young ladies from the noble families who came with him kept looking at Shen Chen with their peripheral vision, their eyes full of curiosity and nervousness.

Shen Chen also smiled and nodded, and he was considered to have met Su Xiao.

Then, two more figures slowly came forward.

A glimmer of dark light flashed through the depths of Shen Chen's eyes, because two girls who were too beautiful to be human came to him.

Su Qingying, his maid in his previous life, and... her sister.

He had three purposes for this trip, and the second one was closely related to him.

I wonder if you have obtained that peerless divine object now.

Su Mengning!
