Chapter 405 Lu Wan’s Connections

Watching this scene, a trace of emotion flashed through Yang Fan's eyes.

Both were part of the Frontline.

Yet the living environments of different people seemed to completely belong to two different worlds.

The Frontline trading area was bustling with people and extremely noisy.

Those ordinary demigods rushed around for resources, working hard every day to enhance the strength of their believers.

Meanwhile, the Divine Beings in the production bases could only live in small, cramped collective areas for long periods.

Yet the core area where the Five Great Families resided possessed independent manors, perfect environments, and even specialized Intelligent Life responsible for maintaining their daily lives.

I am afraid those demigods and Divine Beings living on the outer edges of the trading area would never know that such a place existed deep within the Frontline.

They probably always believed that the Frontline meant danger, chaos, and hardship.

Little did they know that for those truly standing at the pinnacle, the Frontline could likewise become a place to enjoy resources and power.

"Are these the Five Great Families…"

Yang Fan murmured in a low voice.

Afterward, he could not help but gently let out a sigh.

Fortunately, he had become a son-in-law of the Gu Family.

Otherwise, once he graduated from Taichu City and came to the Frontline for service according to the normal procedures, he probably would only be able to live in the outer area like the vast majority of people.

Not only would his living conditions be poor, lacking private space, but he would also have to constantly bear unknown dangers.

In this world, everything could never be changed purely by hard work alone.

A person's life was actually a process of constantly climbing upwards.

Hard work was important, but choices were even more important.

Sometimes, choosing the right direction and seizing the opportunity was more crucial than simply burying oneself in hard work.

Because with the same effort, standing in different positions might yield completely different ultimate results.

The airship continued forward.

Soon, a huge manor appeared within their field of vision.

The airship slowly descended and finally stopped outside a quaint pavilion.

Almost the moment the airship steadied, dozens of intelligent robots greeted them.

"Welcome, Young Miss Lu."

"Welcome, Mr. Yang."

The leading intelligent robot slightly bowed, then gestured with its hand.

"Please come with me."

Under the guidance of the intelligent robot, Yang Fan and Lu Wan slowly walked into the Han Family's manor.

After entering the manor.

Yang Fan did not deliberately release his aura, but his powerful Mental Energy still swept across the entire area like an invisible tide in an instant.

The next moment, his gaze shifted slightly.

"There are actually so many deities here?"

Within the entire manor, the auras of deities exceeded a hundred.

The vast majority of them were low-tier deities, but there were also a few auras that were clearly much stronger.

Moreover… there were also a few familiar auras among them.

"Sima Tianci?"

"Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng?"

Yang Fan felt somewhat surprised in his heart, not expecting that these two people were actually here as well.

At this moment, inside a grand hall at the very center of the manor.

Sima Tianci and Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng were sitting together, holding wine glasses in their hands, and conversing with several other deities.

Aside from the central hall, the entire manor was likewise extremely lively.

Male and female deities dressed in exquisite formal attire were conversing in low voices within the garden.

Intelligent robot waiters shuttled among the crowd, holding transparent ceremonial trays in their hands.

Various precious spiritual fruits and fine wines were placed on top, waiting for guests to take them at any time.

With just a glance, Yang Fan had already deduced that this was a large-scale evening banquet.

However, there was an obvious stratification here.

The outer areas mostly consisted of deities with weaker strength or ordinary identities.

And the closer one got to the central hall, the higher the represented identity and status.

The people there either possessed powerful personal strength, such as Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng,

or had extraordinary identities, such as direct descendants like Sima Tianci who were being groomed as successors by their Family.

"Husband."

Lu Wan lowered her head and glanced at the invitation letter.

"The seating arrangement Han Jue made for us is inside the hall."

"Let's head over."

Yang Fan nodded. "Alright."

Afterwards, Lu Wan naturally reached out and linked her arm through Yang Fan's.

The two of them looked just like a real married couple, slowly walking toward the direction of the hall.

Having walked only a few steps, a middle-aged man took the initiative to greet them.

"Young Miss Lu."

"Years have passed, I did not expect that you too would graduate from Primordial Academy."

There was an obvious smile on the other person's face.

"That emergency loan provided to me by your esteemed company back then really helped me a lot."

"In the future, if Young Miss Lu has any needs, just speak up."

Lu Wan smiled slightly.

"President Ma is too polite."

"Brother Han is still waiting for me, so I will head over first."

"Please go ahead, Young Miss Lu." Hearing this, the other person hurriedly stepped aside to make way, with an extremely respectful attitude.

The two of them continued moving forward.

At this moment, an exquisitely dressed and alluring female deity in the crowd raised her wine glass and spoke with a smile:

"President Lu."

"This time we are not attending a banquet in the Virtual World, why did you even bring a little boyfriend along?"

Lu Wan introduced in a calm tone, "This is my husband."

Hearing these words, the smile on the other person's face froze for a split second.

Immediately afterward, an apologetic look appeared.

"Apologies, apologies."

"In the past, President Lu always attended various banquets alone, so I misunderstood for a moment."

She hurriedly looked at Yang Fan, "Excuse me."

Yang Fan merely smiled and nodded, not minding it at all.

But at this moment, the gazes of quite a few people around had successively fallen upon him, filled with curiosity and probing.

After all, the name Lu Wan was not unfamiliar among the younger generation of deities.

Although the other person had just graduated from Primordial Academy not long ago.

Yet under the support of Lu Yanran, she had long since controlled the actual management rights of a large number of listed companies.

Among the younger generation of the Human Race over the past hundred years, Lu Wan could definitely be considered a figure of illustrious fame.

Her openly referring to Yang Fan as "husband" just now naturally carried a different significance.

This meant that the two of them had already completed a marital relationship recognized by federal law.

And those capable of attending this banquet basically all possessed a certain status.

They naturally knew clearly that what Lu Wan represented behind her was not just a young Genius, but an entire set of massive commercial resources and the support of the Lu Family.

Therefore, they were naturally filled with interest towards Yang Fan, who was able to become Lu Wan's husband.

However, Lu Wan obviously had no intention of stopping to introduce him in detail.

She merely gave a few brief responses before directly pulling Yang Fan towards the hall.

"Wan'er."

Yang Fan chuckled in a low voice:

"You know quite a lot of people."

Lu Wan shook her head gently.

"However, they are just polite business pleasantries."

"These people are either deities who married into the Five Great Families, or targets invested in and supported by the Five Great Families."

"Therefore, they all have some status to varying degrees."

"Normally when doing business, I naturally come into contact with them personally."

Speaking of this, she suddenly stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Otherwise, Husband, how do you think my title of 'social butterfly' came about?"

Hearing this, Yang Fan could not help but laugh out loud.

Lu Wan continued:

"I do not just interact with those classmates from Primordial Academy."

"Deities with status across various main stars, shareholders of mainboard listed companies, and Geniuses who have cooperative relationships with the Five Great Families."

"I know quite a few of these people."

As she spoke these words, there was a trace of small pride in her tone.
