Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-five attracts hatred
bsp;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 looked at it casually, but it had a penetrating power. It was as if all the internal organs were revealed in detail under his gaze, clearly visible.
Qianye bowed slightly to salute, then closed his eyes without moving.
Many eyes were on him when he got out of the car just now. To be on the safe side, he had activated his bloodline latent ability. All kinds of blood and energy seemed to be sensed, as if facing a powerful enemy, including the ability runes, all returned to the heart. At this time, the Dawn Force in Qianye's body was abundant and powerful, and his heart was shrouded in a layer of faint golden light. At first glance, it looked like the fifth ignited Force node.
Yuan Zeyu nodded and said with slight 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 it, 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 specifically to want to Take a look at Qiqi’s niece’s beauty! ”
Qiqi smiled and let go of Qianye's arm, giving him a smile that didn't mean anything. Then she walked elegantly to Yuan Zeyu, and the two walked into the banquet hall together. 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 had previously escorted Yuan Zeyu out, while thinking about the meaning of Qiqi's weird smile. Immediately, he felt something strange keenly, and the eyes around him suddenly showed a lot of murderous intent and hostility.
Okay, 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 eldest lady, attracting hatred, has been successfully completed.
Qianye didn’t know that in the presence of the Yin family members and at a social banquet specially held for Qiqi, her intimate gesture of holding Qianye’s arm and the following introduction were actually a disguised announcement that Qianye was My official 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 Mansion is equally magnificent, with a full metal frame structure under the decoration of stone and wood. The grand banquet hall, which is twenty meters high and covers an area of several thousand square meters, is now brightly lit, with several bands playing cheerful and melodious music in the corridors on both sides. There were long tables on both sides of the banquet hall, with a dazzling array of exquisite food on them. Dozens of waiters shuttled back and forth, adding wine to the guests or serving plated 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 the mainstream banquet form for informal but relatively grand occasions.
When Qiqi arrived, the banquet officially began. Qiqi and Yuan Zeyu went up to the second floor. There was another small hall here, and they could overlook most of the corners below through the guardrail. Those who can stand here are all truly distinguished figures.
As an assistant and adjutant, Qianye was naturally not qualified to go to the second floor and could only stay in the lobby. Soon someone came up to chat, and in the blink of an eye there was a circle of people surrounding Qianye.
Since Qiqi decided that tonight’s mission was to make an appearance, 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 humble nor arrogant.
After a while, some people realized that what Qianye said was all nonsense and did not reveal any useful information at all. After talking for a long time, he couldn't even explain whose descendant he might be and how he knew Qiqi. As a result, people who are curious about Qianye's identity or come to chat with him with malicious intent find him incomprehensible.
Telling nonsense in every sentence is also a skill, and it is an essential skill for nobles and politicians.
People began to speculate that the enviable and jealous boy in front of them might really come from a noble family. Otherwise, how could he use this ability so well? Then their whispering discussions began to turn to another aspect. Qiqi's engagement situation was public. Does this mean that the engagement was about to be terminated, or was it just that she had another 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 rumors 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 have been falling on Qianye. After listening to the city lord's words, she said casually: "What's there? What tricks can those three losers do?"
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, right?"
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?"
"Is there 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, 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 fame mean?"
A cool voice suddenly interrupted: "Money can't buy everything!"
Qiqi slowly turned her head and saw a tall young girl in the corridor at the entrance of the small hall. She is very beautiful, and her cool and proud temperament makes her stand out among many noble girls. Even standing next to Qiqi, she is not inferior.
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. For young people who are passionate and proud, He would always 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, with a tight-fitting top and a skirt with a Danbi gauze pattern. But the material of the clothing is extraordinary. It has dark patterns all over, and only sparkling light blue patterns are reflected when you move around. It is low-key and luxurious. 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. 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 obey you, right?"
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 the engagement, it will matter a lot. Especially some genius girls." Qiqi emphasized the word genius this time.
Ye Mulan's coldness and arrogance disappeared, and a blush appeared on her fair face, but it was obviously not because of shyness. She suppressed her anger and said coldly: "Please tell me clearly, what do you mean by clinging to an engagement? Zining and I have already made an engagement, and it's not something I want."
"If you don't want to, then get rid of it!" Qiqi smiled with a crooked eyebrow, and she 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 Gentleman! If you forget 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, even He was smiling slightly, as if he 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, "Does she think I can only do something by relying on the Yin family? But she is smart, if she keeps talking 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 that Qiqi is openly showing off with her lover and entering such a formal occasion, Ye Mulan, who has always disliked Qiqi, will naturally look for opportunities 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 Just a slap in the face. Trouble, big and small, is sure to follow.
Although Ye Mulan was born into a noble family, she was engaged to the seventh son of the Song family. If she married into the Song family in the future, her status would be different. I heard that Song Zining was quite satisfied with his fiancée, Ye Mulan had begun to officially participate in some of his private 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 family. Even though he is currently only in the middle, he is deeply loved by the ancestors of the Song family, and his status is not that he has not yet achieved the position of head of the family. Yin Qiqi is comparable. Moreover, Yuan Zeyu had heard that there was an old grudge between Yin Qiqi and Song Zining even as far away as Yongye Continent.
Things between these juniors are like a mess. Yuan Zeyu, who is used to fighting against thousands of people on the battlefield, just feels that he has no way to start and does not know how to mediate. And given his status, it would be best to stay out of it.
At this time, Qiqi's eyes fell on Qianye again, and she said lightly: "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 an aristocratic young man in the face hard, sending him flying more than ten meters, hitting the wall hard, and then slowly slid down, unable to stand up for a while.
