”How is it?”

Seeing Han Zhan return to the bedroom, Aisha and Marianne both approached him.

Especially Aisha, who asked with a concerned tone.

Han Zhan shook his head. ”He is quite insistent and doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with his actions.”

Upon hearing Han Zhan’s words, Aisha seemed deflated, her whole demeanor collapsed.

”Even your words had no effect?”

”How did he become like this, how?”

Aisha couldn’t understand.

”Rather than being concerned about him, I think we might need to be more cautious ourselves because...”

Before Han Zhan could finish, there was a knock on the door outside.

The butler’s voice sounded from outside:

”Madam, Lord Zhan, Lady Dais just sent an invitation. She invites you both to attend the ball she’s hosting tonight.”

Marianne and Han Zhan exchanged a glance.

She instantly understood what Han Zhan meant by being cautious.

”Should we go?” Marianne sought Han Zhan’s opinion.

Han Zhan nodded slightly, ”Let’s go!”

It had been some time since Lady Dais last visited for a luncheon.

The sudden organization of this evening party by Lady Dais made Marianne detect an unusual sense.

She hadn’t invited them early or late, but precisely at this critical moment.

To say there’s no issue, she herself would be the first not to believe it.

Especially after Han Zhan had just ended the conversation with Punk and said, ”we need to be cautious ourselves.”

The answer was almost obvious.

”Could it be that Lady Dais has already discovered that we have a problem?”

Sitting in the special vehicle heading to Lady Dais’s ball, Marianne asked.

The road outside the city suburbs was a bit bumpy, causing her body to sway slightly as she spoke.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she leaned slightly towards Han Zhan.

Feeling the weight on his arm, quite heavy, Han Zhan sighed lightly.

The allure was too ”great,” but it was not the right time.

”She realized it long ago, just hasn’t exposed us yet.”

”Lady Dais, or rather the person behind the use of the Spiritual Steel Seal, has thoughts far deeper than we imagined.”

”Am I right, Mr. Butler?”

As Han Zhan spoke, he looked up at the butler driving in the front seat.

Being Marianne’s business vehicle, it had specialized soundproofing measures, and the driver in the front should not be able to hear the conversation in the back.

However, when Han Zhan said that,

The butler turned his head, showing him and Marianne a harmless smile.

Such a scene brought a slight chill to one’s heart.

”The butler is also controlled by the Thought Steel Seal?!” Marianne said in disbelief.

”It’s not just the butler.”

Han Zhan paused, continuing, ”Most of you in the social circle of noblewomen have already been controlled by the Thought Steel Seal.”

”It spreads like a plague, quickly and stealthily, catching you off guard.”

The spread method and the broadness of the Thought Steel Seal were greatly underestimated.

Initially, Han Zhan thought there would be some limitations to this method, such as Spiritual Power consumption, quantity, control duration, etc., etc.

But today, all such assumptions were completely overturned.

The number of people controlled by the Spiritual Steel Seal far exceeded expectations!

”Punk was controlled by the Thought Steel Seal, likely when he contacted the butler. That’s the reason for his sudden change of character in such a short time.”

”So my ’secret,’ from that point on, was no longer a secret, known to Lady Dais.”

”The luncheon was likely just to further test me and to play along.”

”Life is like a play, all depending on acting skills.”

Clearly, in terms of acting skills, Lady Dais surpassed them all.

”Who is the person behind the scenes?” Marianne instinctively asked.

”I don’t know.” Han Zhan shook his head, ”But we will soon find out.”

...

Lady Dais’s night ball was held inside a majestic old castle.

Upon seeing the castle, Han Zhan finally understood why Marianne was so attached to Lady Dais, why Lady Dais could become the absolute center of the noblewomen’s circle.

The castle stood tall and imposing, its stone walls covered with the marks of time, moss and vines tenaciously growing in the crevices, adding a touch of vitality to it.

The castle’s silhouette appeared solemn and mysterious in the glow of the setting sun, its high towers piercing the firmament.

Compared to Lady Dais’s castle, Marian Mansion was completely overshadowed.

At the entrance of the castle, vehicles of varying grandeur were parked, with the noblewomen who had been invited already making their way inside.

Guided by the butler, Han Zhan and Marianne disembarked and walked towards the interior of the castle.

Crossing the drawbridge over the moat, the true interior of the castle revealed itself to them.

Now, the castle was already filled with people.

They stood on the interior terraces of the castle, dense and dark.

In the central area of the castle were the noblewomen invited to the ball.

They wore luxurious gowns, either extravagant or revealing, swaying gracefully with their dance partners in the naturally spacious ballroom.

Lady Dais, in her black gauze evening dress, together with her new slave, was doing the same.

The music was melodious and soothing, with guests dancing elegantly.

Who would have thought, behind all the scheming, it was merely a grand ball?

At this moment, when Han Zhan and Marianne stepped into the ballroom, the music in the castle suddenly came to a halt.

Everyone’s gaze, without needing a prompt, fell upon them.

At that moment, it was as if the scene was frozen in time.

Under the scrutiny of uncountable pairs of eyes, Marianne felt a shiver run through her whole body; she instinctively clung tighter to Han Zhan’s arm.

”Thought Steel Seal.” Han Zhan observed the scene before him, speaking in a calm tone.

”Finally, you’re here.”

Lady Dais walked out of the ballroom, her face adorned with a smile, as if welcoming a long-awaited guest.

”I thought you wouldn’t come. If so, the whole affair would become much less interesting.”

Watching as Lady Dais walked gracefully towards him, Han Zhan spoke lightly:

”If I didn’t come, would I be immediately deemed lost and banished by Yongsha Star, never able to set foot here again?”

Han Zhan’s words made Marianne beside him widen her eyes in confusion.

They also successfully slowed Lady Dais’s graceful and unhurried steps by half a beat.

She slightly narrowed her eyes, the smile on her face fading, reassessing the young man before her with a tone devoid of the previous superiority.

”What do you know?”

”I know a lot, a lot. Otherwise, what do you think I’ve been doing in the library for such a long time?”

Seeing Lady Dais’s reaction, Han Zhan knew his conjecture was entirely correct.

”No need to keep pretending; perhaps I should call you, Interstellar Hyenas, right?”
