Everyone in the room was shocked.
Even the person being sprayed was stunned and speechless.
You still say that the Demon Cult has no quality, but Zhao Changhe is the one who is demonstrating what it means to have no quality! Uh, no, this is none of your business, is Xia Chichi your wife
Zhuque stood on a distant rooftop, looking at the door of the banquet hall from afar, his eyes somewhat surprised.
As a demonic sect, the Four Symbols Sect had offended many people. It was not surprising that someone would make trouble for the Saint Girl who swaggered into such a banquet. Maybe there was a real victim among them. Although it was impossible that Xia Chichi had done it, as she had not done such a thing, it was normal for someone to make trouble for her.
Didn't Xia Chichi also say a few days ago, what to do if you are bullied? Zhuque replied at that time, your most reliable helper is there.
But Zhuque didn't expect that this was more than just a helping hand, Zhao Changhe was so protective of his son. It seemed that in his eyes, there was no difference between bullying Xia Chichi and slapping him in the face.
Although Zhao Changhe is now known as a villain in the martial arts world, he has actually begun to have a reputation as a chivalrous man, and he doesn't care at all.
No wonder I can’t forget the love and it gives me a headache.
Amid the astonishment, the man finally spoke coldly: "Everyone says that Zhao Changhe had long since betrayed the Blood God Cult, and he was able to send a weak girl home and kill Maitreya's vanguard, so he must be considered a righteous man. Now it seems that he is not only still a gangster, but his so-called betrayal of the Blood God Cult is also questionable... The Four Symbols Cult is your superior, right? Otherwise, why are you so eager to show off in front of your master?"
Zhao Changhe sneered, "I have always been a gangster, who would have the patience to pretend with you? As for character, how others dress is their freedom. The host didn't say anything, when is it your turn to say anything? Is this your character? Tell me your name, let's see whose child is so uneducated."
"You!" The man slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Zhao Changhe and was about to say something, but the young man on the main seat finally smiled and said, "It's my birthday party, everyone please stop making noise here, give me some face."
The man looked at Wang Zhaoling with some surprise, but Wang Zhaoling kept smiling.
The man had no choice but to sit down angrily and said nothing more.
Zhao Changhe and his wife both noticed this detail and laughed in their hearts.
How could there be such an idiot who would attack without considering the occasion? Even if he had a grudge against the Four Symbols Sect, it would not be to this extent. What's more, Xia Chichi didn't even recognize this man, so there was no big grudge between them. People who really have grudges are holding them back... It was obvious that this person did what he did at the instruction of Wang Zhaoling.
There is absolutely no other reason for this instruction, except that it is a deliberate test of Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe's identity should be treated with great caution by the Wang family.
It was a test of both the relationship between Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi, and also a test of his temper. Has the result been determined now
Well, it’s best to be regarded as a rude and reckless man. This character setting is very useful.
Zhao Changhe simply shouted even louder: "I am willing to give face to the master. I don't think I am the one who doesn't give face. Who is the one who barked in front of the master?"
The man glared at him, and Wang Zhaoling waved his hands: "This is my good friend, Brother Lu Bingcheng of the Fanyang Lu family, ranked 20th on the list of Hidden Dragons. Brother Lu is also trying to save my face. After all, guests at regular banquets do not wear masks. I forgot that this is the custom of the Four Symbols Sect. I apologize on behalf of Brother Lu. How about we each take a step back and take our seats?"
Zhao Changhe thought to himself that it was not the Lu family that was amazing, but Wang Zhaoling’s attitude that was amazing.
Because the name of Fanyang Lu is intimidating, in fact, this Fanyang Lu in this world is heavily branded, and it is a bit inferior, and may not be better than the Tang family, or even worse. Although their family may be better than the Tang family overall, it is not in the top three of the Earth Ranking. Compared with the Wang family, it is not even in the same league.
How could Wang Zhaoling's behavior be that of an arrogant and domineering idiot? Did Lu Bingcheng not regard him as his own brother
Including Zhao Changhe himself, it didn't matter how angry he was just now. If he insisted on losing his temper now, he would be considered unreasonable in the eyes of others.
He turned around to see what Xia Chichi had to say, but saw that the little tiger was standing quietly beside him like a young wife, leaving everything to him to do. When she saw him looking at her, her beautiful eyes were full of smiles, as if to imply that it was up to him to decide.
Zhao Changhe also smiled and said, "I am a rough man with no manners. I am making fun of you all."
Wang Zhaoling said, "Please take a seat wherever you like, first come first served, there is no seating arrangement."
After such a long time, Zhao Changhe had already seen the situation in the hall clearly. This was a huge banquet hall, but there were not many seats. Wang Zhaoling sat in the main seat, and the two rows of tables and chairs on the left and right extended all the way to the door, all of which were single tables.
The large area behind the two rows of tables and chairs was filled with musicians, dancers, etc., who were preparing to perform.
It seems very casual to say that you can sit anywhere you want, unlike the aristocratic families who pay attention to ranking and status. In fact, it is a solution when you think about it. Cui Yuanyang is here. According to the ranking of Qianlong, she is only in the 90s. Put her seat in the back? The Cui family will never let you go. But if you let her sit in the VIP seats on the left and right, what will other people with higher rankings than her think? Are you inviting a Qianlong banquet or a family banquet
In the end, I just sat anywhere and seemed free and generous.
Zhao Changhe looked around for a spot, and his first sight fell on Cui Yuanyang.
The little girl lived directly in Wang's house, so of course she had already arrived at the hall. She didn't sit in the first seat, but chose to sit in the middle, guessing that it was the seat corresponding to Qianlong 99, and then sat there quietly, lifting her sleeves lightly, pouring tea for herself. The farce just now seemed to be completely in her eyes, and the ranking of seats was even more of a cloud. She lowered her eyebrows, was quiet and elegant, and was a lady from a noble family.
Many people glanced at her with a bit of admiration, but no one dared to sit next to her.
Zhao Changhe's cheeks twitched and he almost laughed out loud.
Who said she couldn't act? At least playing a lady from a rich family was her basic skill since she was young. But why was she so out of character
He thought about it and felt that it would be very simple to do given his personality, so he walked directly to the empty seat on the right side of Cui Yuanyang and sat down with a little embarrassment, as if he wanted to look at Cui Yuanyang, but he lowered his head to look at the table a little embarrassedly.
Xia Chichi was stunned for a moment before he realized that this guy was playing a gangster who wanted to eat swan meat but was driven away. Of course, he would not hesitate to stay with Miss Cui. This expression was so vivid. Amazing, when did he receive special training in acting
What's even more amazing is that Cui Yuanyang raised her eyes slightly and quickly glanced at the uninvited guest beside her. She was a little flustered and shy, and her cheeks turned red unconsciously, but she pursed her lips and said nothing, lowered her head and drank slowly from the teacup, hiding her feeling of being at a loss. The look of a lady who was being chased by a suitor and was at a loss was also amazing. The little mouth under the white tiger mask was half open for a long time, and Xia Chichi finally "hummed" and sat down next to Zhao Changhe's right side.
Just now it seemed like he was standing up for his wife, but in the blink of an eye he was cheating on her in person. Xia Chichi gritted his teeth and silently adjusted the emerald jade hairpin on his head, but found that he didn't even know what to say.
Many people were paying attention here, including Wang Zhaoling. Seeing this, everyone was a little amused, secretly thinking that Zhao Changhe was also strange. He was not ranked high, and his cultivation was not outstanding, but how could he automatically attract everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, like the protagonist on the stage.
Wang Zhaoling asked deliberately, "Sister Yuanyang, is it convenient for you? Would you like to sit next to me?"
“No, no need.” Cui Yuanyang said softly, “This is a banquet for latent dragons, and we should follow the order of latent dragons. Yuanyang is only the ninety-ninth one, it is not convenient for him to occupy a high position.”
Wang Zhaoling said, "There is no such rule."
"Yuanyang has his own thoughts." Cui Yuanyang quickly glanced at Zhao Changhe again and lowered his head again: "Besides, Brother Zhao has done Yangyang a favor..."
She paused, as if she had made a difficult decision, and bowed to Zhao Changhe seriously: "Yuanyang meets Brother Zhao. It's been a long time since we last met, but you are still as elegant as ever. Yuanyang is very happy."
Xia Chichi hissed and his teeth almost fell out in pain.
Zhao Changhe was dumbfounded, remembering what he said a few days ago, "Your acting skills will be exposed if they are not good enough." Now he felt that he was not a protagonist at all, but a clown.
Wang Zhaoling said leisurely, "If the information we know is correct, Saint Lady Xia and Brother Zhao actually have a close relationship, right? That's why Brother Zhao was so furious just now."
Zhao Changhe was sweating profusely, but Xia Chichi, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke calmly, "Prince Wang, is the purpose of holding the Hidden Dragon Banquet to find out about the families of the Hidden Dragons?"
"No." Wang Zhaoling said with a smile: "The banquet hasn't started yet, many people haven't arrived yet, and everyone is just chatting casually."
"Since we are just chatting casually, why don't I chat with you too?" Xia Chichi said leisurely, "It is said that King Cui is seeking marriage, and your sister is going to marry Cui Yuanyong. Is the prince interested in marrying Miss Cui?"
Zhao Changhe pricked up his ears. He didn't know whether Xia Chichi was trying to flatter Cui Yuanyang or help him ask the question that concerned him most.
But Wang Zhaoling laughed and said, "How can there be such a marriage? Although my family and the Cui family are close, we are not tied together. It is rare to do things this way."
What this means is that the marriage of each of their children corresponds to a political resource, and his marriage can bring in one more ally, so there is no need to repeat the same family.
Xia Chichi nodded and said nothing more. Zhao Changhe's heart also relaxed. If you don't covet Yangyang, then we don't have any hatred. Even if you want to be independent, it's none of our business in theory.
But Wang Zhaoling laughed again and said, "But there are many other young men who admire Sister Yuanyang. It's not without reason that Brother Zhao is like the protagonist as soon as he arrives. It's a bit... hateful, haha."
"Bang!" From the bottom corner came the sound of a wine pot hitting the table, and Situ Xiao's drunken voice spread throughout the room: "Where's the wine? Who the hell has the patience to listen to an opera here? If you don't serve me some wine, I'm leaving!"
Zhao Changhe secretly exclaimed, "It's time."
It's annoying to keep testing you in all this hypocritical way. What exactly do you, the Wang family, want to do? Why not just reveal the truth now
My identity is sensitive, and no matter how much I play the role of a rough guy, it is not appropriate to speak like this. On the contrary, this drunkard pretended to be crazy and said just the right thing.
Just at this moment, a large group of people came outside. The so-called Qianlong Banquet did not have all 250 people present, but only dozens of people. So basically everyone was there.
Wang Zhaoling also stopped smiling and said calmly: "In fact, many people guessed that I was going to hold this banquet to test swords... I am dissatisfied with you all. The purpose of testing swords is indeed partly, but perhaps you don't believe that my original intention is just to make friends with heroes all over the world."
"Although we have unique resources, it is not convenient for us to train. Once we go out, we are surrounded by dangers. The deadly malice is far beyond that of ordinary people. Maybe it is Saint Xia?" Wang Zhaoling smiled at Xia Chichi apologetically, saying that he was joking, and then said: "Bring strong guards with you, then the training will be meaningless. If you don't bring guards, your family will not agree. Sister Yuanyang must be concerned about this."
"So we have ascended to the position of a hidden dragon. Perhaps because of our family's profound knowledge, it is easier than for ordinary people. However, it has become difficult to break through the limits of heaven and man and gain insight into the mysteries of the hidden treasure. Not to mention making friends with heroes all over the world and seeking bosom friends, which has become a luxury. What else can we do except hold a banquet to entertain guests?"
After talking for so long, someone finally asked, "Sir, if you want to invite people to dinner, wouldn't it be nice if you just invite them politely? Why set up all kinds of barriers, weighing and closing the door? Not only will you not be able to make friends, but you'll also offend people."
Wang Zhaoling laughed: "Don't say that Wang is arrogant. Even the servants can't handle it. It's not worth making friends. And this closing has another meaning. Please forgive me for keeping it a secret. Of course, if you are unhappy, Wang will apologize here."
Wang Zhaoling raised his cup and stood up. He drank three cups of wine as punishment. Then he turned the cup upside down and said with a smile, "If it's a sword test, not only I want to try it, but don't you all want to learn from each other? We are all on the Hidden Dragon List, but we are far away from each other. When Brother Yuan Yong wanted to challenge Yue Hongling, he mobilized so many people to find Yue Hongling's whereabouts, and then traveled thousands of miles to Beimang. How inconvenient is that?"
Situ Xiao finally raised his head from the wine cup, his eyes shining.
Wang Zhaoling said loudly: "The hidden dragons of the Central Plains, drinking and discussing martial arts, is a grand event in Langya! If this event is held, the Wang family of Langya is willing to host such a sword discussion every few years. I wonder if you are interested?"
Everyone cheered: "Good idea!"
Zhao Changhe smiled slightly, looked down at the wine glass on the table, his eyes rippling with emotion.
This Wang family has such a wild heart.
