This was the second time Qianye faced a warrior-level warrior. William only made him feel alarmed but could not grasp any clues. However, Yuan Zeyu's casual glance showed a penetrating power, as if all his internal organs were there.
Under his gaze, every detail was clear and unobstructed.
Qianye bowed slightly to salute, then closed his eyes without moving.
When he got out of the car just now, he was noticed by many eyes. To be on the safe side, he had already activated his latent blood ability. All kinds of blood energy seemed to be sensed as if he was facing a powerful enemy, including the ability runes, all rushed back to his heart. At this time, Qianye's body was filled with the dawn element.
The strength is abundant and vigorous, and the heart is shrouded in a layer of faint golden light. At first glance, it looks like the fifth ignited Force node.
Yuan Zeyu nodded and said with a hint of approval: "A very good young man. He has a very solid foundation, which is rare. Who is he?"
Qiqi smiled lightly, held Qianye's arm calmly, leaned half of her body against him, and said, "This is Qianye, my new assistant and adjutant."
Yuan Zeyu showed a hint of strangeness, but then dispersed and said with a smile: "Then come in! Now that you are here, the dinner can begin. There are many people who came from other big cities to see Qi Qi.
Niece Qi’s peerless beauty!”
Qiqi smiled and let go of Qianye's arm, giving him an unknown smile. Then she walked elegantly to Yuan Zeyu, and the two walked into the banquet hall together. Tonight's banquet, Yuan Zeyu was the host, and Qiqi
It is the guest of honor.
Qianye was a few steps behind, walking in among the group of people who had previously surrounded Yuan Zeyu when he went out, while thinking about the meaning of Qiqi's weird smile. Then he keenly felt something unusual, and the people around him who were looking at him
Suddenly there was a lot of murderous intent and hostility in his eyes.
Well, maybe this is the meaning of Qiqi’s smile. Qianye hasn’t figured out how Qiqi did it yet, but he has to admit that the first stage of tonight’s mission assigned by the young lady, to attract hatred, has gone smoothly.
achieved.
Qianye didn't know that the elders of the Yin family were present, and it was at a social banquet specially held for Qiqi. Her intimate gesture of holding Qianye in her arms, together with the introduction that followed, was actually a disguised announcement that Qianye was her official wife.
Lover. As a result, Qianye immediately became the target of public criticism among the young people present.
The main banquet hall of the city lord's palace is equally magnificent, with a full metal frame structure under the decoration of stone and wood. The grand banquet hall is twenty meters high and covers an area of thousands of square meters. The lights are bright at the moment, and the corridors on both sides
There are several bands playing cheerful and melodious music. There are long tables on both sides of the banquet hall, with a dazzling array of exquisite food on them. Dozens of waiters shuttle back and forth, adding wine to the guests or delivering plates of food.
Meals.
The buffet-style banquet originated from the dark race, and is especially loved by the vampire race. Later, this unfettered and free way of dining was gradually accepted by the nobles of the imperial family and gradually became popular. Now it has become an informal but relatively
The mainstream banquet format for grand occasions.
When Qiqi arrived, the banquet officially started. Qiqi and Yuan Zeyu went up to the second floor. There is another small hall here, and they can overlook most of the corners below through the guardrail. Those who can stand here are all truly distinguished.
character.
As an assistant and adjutant, Qianye was naturally not qualified to go to the second floor, so he could only stay in the hall. Soon someone came up to chat, and in the blink of an eye, a circle of people surrounded Qianye.
Since Qiqi decided that tonight's task was to make a show, Qianye fully demonstrated the results of his morning training, always maintaining an elegant manner, socializing with the people who came to talk, neither being close nor distant, neither being humble nor being arrogant.
After a while, some people realized that what Qianye said was all nonsense and did not reveal any useful information. After talking for a long time, even his descendants were unclear and how he knew Qiqi. In this way, no matter who was curious,
Qianye's identity, and those who come to chat with him with malicious intentions, find him inscrutable.
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 jealous boy in front of them might really be from a noble family. Otherwise, how could he use this ability so well? Then their whispers began to turn to another aspect. Qiqi's engagement situation was public.
, does this mean that the engagement is about to be terminated, or is it just that there is an extra lover?
Such scandalous rumors are always the most popular topic at every banquet, but the relatives and friends of one of the parties involved in the rumor may not be so happy. Soon, several people in the crowd changed their expressions.
On the second floor, Qiqi and Yuan Zeyu dismissed the attendants and were chatting seemingly casually.
After chatting about some of the major events of the Yin family that month, Yuan Zeyu changed the topic and said tactfully: "This place is not as safe as it seems. It seems that some people have already arrived."
Qiqi's eyes kept falling on Qianye. After listening to the city lord's words, she said casually: "What's there? What tricks can those three losers 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 get involved. Whether something happens to you or there are discrepancies in the assessment results, it is not a joke."
Qiqi still said calmly: "Don't worry, Uncle Yuan. Regardless of masters, troops, equipment or records, as long as you spend money, you can get whatever you want?"
This is Qiqi's usual argument, but as a warrior-level warrior, Yuan Zeyu didn't like hearing it and couldn't help but say: "Masters are not so easy to buy."
"That's just because the price offered is not enough." Qiqi said with a smile.
Yuan Zeyu was well aware of Qiqi's temperament and did not want to continue on this topic, so he also turned his gaze to Qianye below and said, "Who is this young man?"
Qiqi said lazily: "Lover."
Yuan Zeyu couldn't help being surprised: "Really a lover?"
"Then there's still a lie?"
"How are you going to explain it to the clan? You are engaged, so acting in such a high profile will not only bring shame to the Gu family."
Qiqi sneered: "How can a small nobleman get so much face? If he feels embarrassed, he will just break off the engagement! I'll wait!"
The city lord's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly: "If this is the case, your reputation..."
"As long as you have money and strength, what does reputation mean?"
A cold voice suddenly came in from the side: "Money can't buy everything!"
Qiqi slowly turned her head and saw a tall young girl walking in the corridor at the entrance of the small hall. She was very beautiful, and her cool and proud temperament made her stand out among many aristocratic girls. Standing next to Qiqi,
Not inferior either.
This is the view of most young nobles in the circle. In fact, Qiqi is slightly better in appearance and figure, but she is too strong and has all kinds of bohemian behavior, which will always be a problem for young people who are passionate and proud.
Subconsciously push her down a notch.
Qiqi smiled playfully and said, "Ye Mulan, these words should not come out of your mouth."
The clothes of this girl are very interesting. She is also wearing a retro style, but it is a noble color. The top is tight and form-fitting, and she is wearing a Danbi gauze patterned skirt. However, the material of the clothes is extraordinary, with all dark patterns, which are only reflected when she moves.
Sparkling light blue light pattern, low-key luxury. This is not something ordinary nobles can afford.
Seeing that she dared to walk up to the second floor, did not flinch in front of Qiqi, and even made provocations, and the Lord of Xichang City was sitting next to her, it was obvious that this girl's identity was not simple.
The girl said coldly: "Yin Qiqi, you don't think that because of the Yin family behind you, everyone has to fawn over and follow your words, do you?"
Qiqi shrugged and said with a smile: "Of course not! Especially for a genius girl like you. Especially a genius girl who is engaged to the Song family. She is a noble family!"
Anger flashed across Ye Mulan's face: "What does this have to do with the nobility?"
"Originally it doesn't matter, but if some people cling to their engagement, it will matter a lot. Especially some genius girls." Qiqi emphasized the word genius this time.
Ye Mulan's coolness and arrogance were swept away, and a blush appeared on her fair face, but it was obviously not because of shyness. She suppressed her anger and said coldly: "Please explain clearly, what does it mean to hold on to an engagement to the death?
Zining and I have made an engagement long ago, and it’s not something I want.”
"Since you don't want to, then get rid of it!" Qiqi smiled with a crooked eyebrow, her face suddenly became astonishingly charming.
Ye Mulan could no longer hold back and shouted: "Yin Qiqi! You..."
Qiqi's face darkened, her smile disappeared completely, and she said coldly: "You can also call me by my name? Who agreed to let you 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 military police prison to reflect 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 and unable to speak: "You..." Her eyes glanced at Yuan Zeyu, who was sitting next to him. The Lord of Xichang looked kind and even smiled.
It seemed like I was just watching two juniors bickering.
In the end, Ye Mulan said bitterly: "The Yin family can't cover the sky with just one hand. This identity will not make you proud forever!"
"That will have to wait until you marry into the Song family!" Qiqi said unceremoniously.
The beautiful girl who transformed from glacier to volcano in just a few minutes stamped her feet, turned around and left.
Yuan Zeyu just shook his head and sighed.
Qiqi smiled nonchalantly and said, "She still thinks that I can only do something by relying on the Yin family? But she is smart, if she talks more, I will take action."
Yuan Zeyu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The surnames Ye and Gu have the same origin as Yuelu, especially the direct branches of Ye Mulan and Gu Liyu. The clans have been friends for generations and have a close family relationship. They are also cousins and have a deep blood relationship. Now Qiqi openly carries
When her lover shows off and enters such a formal occasion, Ye Mulan, who has always disliked Qiqi, naturally looks for an opportunity to attack her.
Yuan Zeyu was sweating when he saw the two bickering. Qiqi was actually very impatient just now. If Ye Mulan said a few more words, especially if they continued to argue about lovers, Qiqi would definitely give her a slap in the face.
Up there. Then troubles, big and small, will surely follow.
Although Ye Mulan is from a noble family, she is engaged to the seventh son of the Song family. When she marries into the Song family in the future, her status will be different. I heard that Song Zining is quite satisfied with this fiancée, and Ye Mulan has begun to officially participate in some of his personal affairs.
activities, and Song Zining was quite laissez-faire towards some of her overt and covert actions.
Even though Yin Qiqi's mother was also from the Song family, Song Zining is the heir to the Song clan. Even though he is currently ranked in the middle, he is deeply loved by the ancestors of the Song family, and his status is not comparable to that of Yin Qiqi, who has not yet achieved the position of head of the family.
Moreover, Yuan Zeyu heard that there was an old grudge between Yin Qiqi and Song Zining even as far away as Yongye Continent.
Things between these juniors were like a mess. Yuan Zeyu, who was used to fighting against thousands of people on the battlefield, just felt that he had no way to start and didn't know how to mediate. And given his status, it was best to stay out of the matter.
At this time, Qiqi's eyes fell on Qianye again, and she said calmly: "Uncle Yuan, this guy is good at everything, but his personality is a bit soft. It would be better if he was more like me..."
Before she finished her sentence, something suddenly changed below. Qianye punched a noble young man in the face hard, sending him flying more than ten meters, hitting the wall hard, and then slowly slid down.
