This is Qianye's second time facing a warrior-level powerhouse. William just gave him a warning sign but he couldn't grasp any clues. However, Yuan Zeyu's casual glance has a kind of penetrating power, as if his internal organs are all inside. Everything in his eyes is clearly visible.
Qianye bowed slightly to salute, then closed his eyes and did not move.
When he got out of the car just now, he was watched by many eyes. To be on the safe side, he had activated his blood latent ability. Blood energy of all colors also felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, including ability runes, all rushed back to the heart. At this time, Qianye's Dawn Force was abundant and thick, and his heart was shrouded in a faint golden light. At first glance, it looked like the fifth ignited force node.
Yuan Zeyu nodded, and said with a little approval: "Very good young man. The foundation is quite solid, which is rare. Is he?"
Qiqi smiled slightly, took Qianye's arm calmly, put half of her body on it, and said, "This is Qianye, my newly recruited assistant and adjutant."
Yuan Zeyu showed a strange look, but he dispersed immediately, and said with a smile: "Then come in! Now that you have arrived, the dinner party can begin. There are many people who came here from other big cities, all wanting to see Qi The peerless beauty of niece Qi!"
Qiqi let go of Qianye's arm with a smile, gave him a smile of unknown meaning, and then gracefully walked to Yuan Zeyu's side, and the two walked into the banquet hall together. For tonight's banquet, Yuan Zeyu is the host and Qiqi is the guest of honor.
Qianye was a few steps behind, walking in among the group of people who surrounded Yuan Zeyu before going out, thinking about the meaning of Qiqi's weird smile. Immediately, he keenly sensed the abnormality, and there was a lot of murderous intent and hostility in the eyes of those around him looking at him.
Well, maybe that's what Kiki's smile means. Qianye still hasn't figured out how Qiqi did it, but he has to admit that the first stage of tonight's mission, the attraction of hatred, has been successfully completed.
Qianye didn't know that the elders of the Yin family were present, and at a social banquet specially held for Qiqi, her intimate gesture of holding Qianye, together with the following introduction, was actually announcing that Qianye was her official partner in disguise. lover. As a result, Qianye immediately became the target of the young people present.
The main banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion is also magnificent, with an all-metal frame structure under the decoration of stone and wood. The grand banquet hall with a height of 20 meters and an area of thousands of square meters is brightly lit at the moment, and several bands are playing cheerful and melodious music in the corridors on both sides. There are long tables on both sides of the banquet hall, on which are a variety of exquisite food, and dozens of waiters shuttle back and forth, refilling wine for the guests or delivering meals divided into plates.
Buffet-style banquets originated from the dark races, especially favored by blood races. Later, this unfettered, free and casual way of dining was gradually accepted by the nobles of the imperial family, and gradually became popular. Now it has become the mainstream form of banquets in informal but relatively grand occasions.
When Qiqi arrived, the banquet officially began. Qiqi and Yuan Zeyu went up to the second floor, where there was another small hall, and most of the corners below could be overlooked through the guardrail. Those who can stand here are all truly prominent figures.
As an assistant and adjutant, Qianye is naturally not qualified to go to the second floor, so he can only stay in the hall. Soon someone came up to chat, and in the blink of an eye, Qianye was surrounded by a circle of people.
Since Qiqi decided that the task tonight was to show her face, Qianye fully demonstrated the results of her morning training, always maintained an elegant demeanor, and socialized with the people who came to talk to her, neither close nor distant, neither humble nor overbearing.
After a while, some people realized that what Qianye said was all nonsense, and he didn't reveal any useful information at all. After talking for a long time, he didn't even say who he might be a child of, or how he knew Qiqi. In this way, people who are curious about Qianye's identity or come to strike up a conversation with malicious intent will find him unpredictable.
Talking nonsense in every sentence is also a skill, and it is an indispensable skill for nobles and politicians.
People began to speculate that the enviable and hated boy in front of him might really be from a family, otherwise how could he use this ability so well? Then their whispering discussion began to turn to the other side. Kiki's engagement is public. Does this mean that the engagement is about to be terminated, or is it just an extra lover
Such sex rumors are always the most popular topic at every banquet, but the relatives and friends of one of the rumored parties may not be so happy. Soon, several people in the crowd changed their expressions.
On the second floor, Qiqi and Yuan Zeyu waved away the attendants and were chatting seemingly casually.
After chatting about some important events of the Yin family that month, Yuan Zeyu changed the subject and said tactfully: "This place is not as safe as it seems. It seems that some people have already arrived."
Qiqi kept her eyes on Qianye, and after hearing what the city lord said, she casually said, "What's the matter? With just those three trash, what tricks can they come up with?"
Yuan Zeyu frowned and said, "You'd better be careful. This time, the interests are too great, and many people want to intervene. No matter if something happens to you, or the result of the assessment is wrong, it's not a joke."
Qiqi still said flatly: "Don't worry, Uncle Yuan. Regardless of masters, troops, equipment or achievements, as long as you spend money, you can get as much as you want?"
This is Qiqi's habitual argument, but Yuan Zeyu, who is a warrior-level powerhouse, doesn't like to hear it, and can't help but say: "It's not so easy to buy a master."
"That's just not enough price." Kiki said with a smile.
Yuan Zeyu was well aware of Qiqi's temperament, and didn't want to continue this topic, so he also turned his gaze to Qianye below, and said, "Who is this young man?"
Kiki said lazily, "Lover."
Yuan Zeyu couldn't help being surprised: "Is it really a lover?"
"Is there still a fake?"
"How are you going to explain to the clan? You have a marriage contract, and you will not only lose face of the Gu family by acting in such a high-profile way."
Qiqi sneered: "How can a small gentry get so much face? If he feels ashamed, he will just call off the engagement! I'll wait!"
The city lord's brows were furrowed even tighter: "If this is the case, your reputation..."
"As long as you have money and strength, what is fame?"
A cold voice suddenly interjected from the side: "Money can't buy everything!"
Qiqi turned her head slowly and saw a tall young girl in the corridor at the entrance of the small hall. She is very beautiful, and her cold and arrogant temperament makes her stand out among many noble girls. Even standing beside Kiki, she is not inferior.
This is the view of most young nobles in the circle. In fact, Qiqi is slightly better regardless of her appearance and body, but she is too strong and has all kinds of unruly behavior. Subconsciously pushed her down.
Qiqi smiled playfully and said, "Ye Mulan, you shouldn't have said that."
The girl's clothes are very interesting. She is also wearing a retro style, but it is the color of aristocrats. The top is tight and fit, and the Danbi yarn pattern skirt is underneath. But the material of the clothes is extraordinary, all of which are dark patterns, only reflecting light blue light patterns when walking, which is low-key and luxurious. This is not something ordinary gentry can afford.
Seeing that she dared to go up to the second floor, she didn't flinch in front of Qiqi, she even made provocative words, and the city lord of Xichang was sitting next to her, obviously the identity of this girl is not simple.
The girl said coldly: "Yin Qiqi, you don't think that because of the Yin family behind you, everyone has to curry favor with you, do you?"
Qiqi shrugged and said with a smile: "Of course not! Especially for a genius girl like you. Especially a genius girl who has a marriage contract with the Song family. Nobility!"
Anger flashed across Ye Mulan's face: "What does this have to do with the nobles?"
"It didn't matter at first, but if some people cling to the marriage contract, it has a lot to do with it. Especially some talented girls." Qiqi bit the word "genius" very hard this time.
Ye Mulan's coldness was swept away proudly, her fair face flushed, but it was obviously not because of embarrassment. She suppressed her anger, and said coldly: "Speak clearly, what do you mean clinging to a marriage contract? The marriage contract between Zi Ning and I was established long ago, and it's not what I want."
"Since you don't want to, let's get it back!" Qiqi smiled with crooked eyebrows, and she was suddenly charming.
Ye Mulan couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted, "Yin Qiqi! You..."
Qiqi's face darkened, her smile completely disappeared, and she said coldly: "You can call me my name too? Who agreed to you to come up! Ye Mulan, as long as you don't marry into the Song family, you will be a nobleman for a day! If You have forgotten the laws of the empire, I don’t mind sending you to the gendarmerie prison to reflect on yourself for a few days, and let you know the price of offending a high-ranking family!”
Ye Mulan pointed at Yin Qiqi, trembling with anger, she couldn't even speak: "You..." She glanced at Yuan Zeyu who was sitting next to him. Watch the two juniors bicker.
In the end, Ye Mulan said bitterly: "The Yin family can't cover the sky with one hand, this identity will not make you proud forever!"
"That will have to wait until you marry into the Song family!" Qiqi said bluntly.
The beautiful girl who transformed from a glacier to a volcano in just a few minutes stomped her feet, turned around and left.
Yuan Zeyu just shook his head and sighed.
Qiqi smiled nonchalantly, and said, "She thought I could only rely on the Yin family to do something? But she's smart, if I talk about it, I'm going to do it."
Yuan Zeyu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The two surnames of Ye and Gu originated from Yuelu, especially the direct branch where Ye Mulan and Gu Liyu belonged. Now that Qiqi is showing off with her lover through the market and entering such a formal occasion, Ye Mulan, who has never been used to Qiqi, will naturally look for an opportunity to make trouble.
Yuan Zeyu was also sweating watching the bickering between the two. Qiqi was actually very impatient just now. If Ye Mulan said a few more words, especially if she continued to entangle on topics such as lovers, Qiqi would definitely slap her. up. At that time, big and small troubles must come one after another.
Although Ye Mulan was born in a noble family, she has a marriage contract with the seventh son of the Song family. If she marries into the Song family in the future, her status will be different. I heard that Song Zining was quite satisfied with his fiancée, Ye Mulan had already started to formally participate in some of his private activities, and Song Zining was quite laissez-faire with her overt and secret actions.
Even though Yin Qiqi's mother was also from the Song family, Song Zining was the successor of the Song Clan generation. Even though he was currently ranked only in the middle, he was deeply loved by the ancestors of the Song family. Besides, even though Yuan Zeyu was far away in the Evernight Continent, he had heard that there was an old grudge between Yin Qiqi and Song Zining.
The affairs among these juniors were like a mess. Yuan Zeyu, who was used to being a thousand-handed man on the battlefield, felt that he had no way to start and didn't know how to mediate. And in his capacity, it's best to stay out of it.
At this time, Qiqi's eyes fell on Qianye again, and she said flatly, "Uncle Yuan, this kid is good at everything, but his personality is a bit soft, it would be better if he was more like me..."
Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sudden change below. Qianye punched a noble young man hard in the face, sending him flying more than ten meters away, hitting the wall heavily, and then slowly sliding down, unable to stand up for a moment.
