People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 983: Chapter 122: Hu Niu’s Changing Mentality_3

Upon hearing that, Hu Ni could only comply.

Thus, the two set off for a new gathering together.

What Hu Ni hadn’t anticipated was that this time, the gathering was arranged at Xiaoyao Pavilion.

“It’s Xiaoyao Pavilion, second sister, your friend seems to be…” Hu Ni was somewhat shocked.

Having attended gatherings with Zhao Linger these past days, she had learned about a few things.

The most direct was the cost of the venues for these gatherings, which varied from one place to another.

The venues they had previously visited alone cost as much as her annual resources for cultivation — she had then marveled at the extravagance of these family scions.

And this Xiaoyao Pavilion was, by far, the most expensive one she had attended.

“Renting Xiaoyao Pavilion for one event is equivalent to renting a hundred venues elsewhere. This price could sustain our cultivation for a hundred years…” Zhao Linger said timely.

Hu Ni nodded in agreement, feeling inwardly that it was indeed worthy of a second miss to know such lavish friends.

After they entered the venue, Hu Ni was surprised to find that many of the main characters from previous gatherings were also attendees here.

People like Brother Wang, Brother Liu, Brother He, who were all organizers of the several events she had attended before.

What shocked her even more was that these formerly esteemed characters were now all seated in the outer area.

As Hu Ni wondered about their seating, Zhao Linger led her straight towards the inner area.

“Second sister, are we going further inside?!” Hu Ni felt increasingly nervous.

Especially with curious glances cast her way, she felt so uncomfortable that she almost wanted to turn back.

“Of course!” Zhao Linger’s lips curled up in a smile, clearly enjoying the attention.

In other gatherings, their seats were always around the middle area; although they could speak to the hosts, it was only out of politeness and not very noteworthy.

But now it was different, as this gathering was hosted by Gold for Hu Ni.

Not only had he spent a great deal of money, but he had also invited people from all walks of life. Everyone present was either wealthy or noble.

The most crucial aspect was that the array formations separating the inner and outer area weren’t activated, meaning everything happening inside could be seen from the outside.

Finally, following Zhao Linger into the inner area with a heart full of nerves,

“Let us welcome today’s protagonist, Zhao Linglong!” a thunderous voice made Hu Ni freeze on the spot.

Zhao Linglong?

Who?

It took a long while for Hu Ni to realize that her grand name was Zhao Linglong, a name given by Zhao Linger.

But…

She was just a minor character; who would welcome her like this?

Could they have called the wrong person?!

Just as Hu Ni turned her pleading gaze towards Zhao Linger, Zhao Linger stepped aside, smiling and beginning to clap enthusiastically.

On Gold’s side, everything was already arranged, and a crowd stood up, looking at her and shouting her name.

In a state of complete bewilderment, Gold appeared.

“I had imagined countless scenarios for our reunion but never anticipated it would be here…”

Is it him?!

Hu Ni stared dumbfounded at Gold.

He was one of the few men she had seen who was taller than her.

Honestly, she didn’t mind this man. If her heart hadn’t been set on Dunce, she might have fallen for him too.

“Zhao Linglong, a woman who haunts my dreams, a woman who keeps me awake at night…”

As Hu Ni blushed, Gold’s declarations of love kept coming, thrown out madly.

Especially since the previously distinguished figures were now willing to play supporting roles, emitting envious cheers.

This made Hu Ni feel like she was dreaming, suspecting she was the protagonist in a dream, the center of attention.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a necklace slowly extended towards Hu Ni’s neck.

Hu Ni was totally flummoxed throughout, her mind crashing until the moment the necklace was put on her. She abruptly realized that this might be unfair to Dunce.

Just then, a large figure embraced her.

“Linglong, would you like to be my dao companion, to cherish and love you in the years to come?”

“Agree to him!”

“Agree to him!”

“Agree to him!”

The crowd shouted crazily, their deafening voices making Hu Ni feel elated.

Seeing the smiles and fervor of those elite scions nearby, Hu Ni suddenly felt that being with Gold might be quite good after all.

Compared to Dunce, Gold obviously had more prospects and could offer her many things.

Such as prestige, connections, and resources for cultivation.

On the other hand, if it were Dunce, she might even have to support him.

Hu Ni’s chest heaved up and down, looking at the towering man in front, she momentarily felt an impulse to agree.

But she was still scared; she turned her head to look at Zhao Linger, who kept nodding, seemingly signaling that if Hu Ni didn’t agree, she would step in.

Finally, yielding to various temptations, Hu Ni nodded slightly.

“Alright!”

Gold laughed heartily, pulling Hu Ni along and frequently toasting under everyone’s eyes.

Standing beside Gold, Hu Ni felt extremely nervous, but whenever she felt awkward, Gold would take the initiative to speak up, giving her a sense of unprecedented feelings.

I feel like… I am a woman!

Hu Ni suddenly realized that she might indeed be a woman now, having a man willing to protect her felt incredibly wonderful.

This was an experience she had never felt before and something she wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

The Brothers Wang, Brother He, and others previously participating in gatherings, now respectfully came up to toast in the outer area, making Hu Ni think life had taken a turn. At this moment, it seemed she had reached the pinnacle.

This status, even higher than that of a second miss, now had them on her main stage, unable to even enter the inner area.

With Gold, she also became someone on his level.

Amidst cries of ‘sister-in-law,’ Hu Ni was won over.
