Next to the column in front of the palace gate, the patriarch of the Derwent family personally stood there to greet David and his party, it was the middle-aged gentleman with an elegant mustache that Gu Hanhan had seen downstairs in the medical school. But Senior Sister Jasmine was not with him today, so Gu Hanhan lost the only object that he could talk about. Gu Hanhan guessed that Senior Sister Jasmine must have not shown up at the banquet because of her health.

David's attitude towards this gentleman was obviously much more serious and formal than that of his hapless men, and he stopped to exchange a pleasant greeting with Edward Derwent, but did not shake his hand according to the social etiquette of the superpowered world.

Of course, Mr. Edward, too, was very self-conscious, and did not stretch out his hand, but only bowed slightly, let David in the door, and said very politely: "Welcome, Your Excellency is here in person, and it is shining." ”

"You're welcome," David nodded slightly, "Miss Jasmine's birthday party, you should come over." ”

Gu Hanhan blinked his eyes, and muttered in his heart: Isn't it the Derwent Scholarship Awards Dinner, isn't it the Autumn Banquet of the Derwent Family, when did it become Senior Sister Jasmine's birthday banquet again? What the hell, a banquet is so weird! Anthony refused to come, I don't know if there was any reason in it......

Well, there are too many acquaintances? Who are his acquaintances--Senior Sister Jasmine? You don't know which words are true and which are false! David's five-good young man is also very dishonest, and he has never said that he knows Senior Sister Jasmine before, but he seems to be quite familiar with it today! Could it be that Sister Jasmine also treated him? Helena is like this, Senior Sister Jasmine is like this, how many secrets do you have that are not so good, and you are waiting to be discovered......

"You don't have to stay with me, Lord Derwent, please go and get busy. David said to Edward Derwent, who seemed to be going to stay with him all the time.

Mr. Edward did not insist, and with a soft "faux pas" he took his leave and returned to the pillar at the door. In any case, he is the host on the surface of today's banquet. In addition to David Duran, there are several distinguished guests who have not arrived, and it is really □□ to be greeted by him at the door in person, but he can't help but make a gesture.

The Grand Ballroom of Edmund Manor is a huge circular palace. The ballroom was large enough to accommodate all the guests who had queued for at least an hour over the estate. The tall round columns surrounding the palace cleverly divide the interior space so that it does not appear too empty. Richly dressed guests shuttled between the pillars with wine glasses, saying all kinds of false words to each other, making the atmosphere of the banquet very lively.

A hot spring of living water is brought in from outside the palace and converges in the center to form a steaming spring-shaped bath, and the water surface of the bath floats with various fragrant flower petals. A stunning-looking mermaid swims around the pond with her upper body naked/naked, occasionally jumping out of the water. Many guests gathered around the pool, standing and sitting, some of whom splashed the mermaids with golden cups of wine, or threw beautiful fruit particles to play with them.

Above the palace is a sky-like dome. On one side of the palace, there is a wide spiral staircase that leads to the depths of the palace, but there are hardly any guests walking on the spiral staircase, only aristocratic guards wearing vintage uniforms embroidered with gold thread stand opposite each other on both sides of the staircase.

This was the first time Gu Hanhan had attended a pure aristocratic banquet, so her eyes were rolling around, wanting to broaden her knowledge and study whether the nobles of Beacon Star were the same as the bastard nobles in the three-dimensional movie. But the fact that Gu Hanhan could never learn from the three-dimensional movie is that the most important feature of the aristocratic banquet is to see the six roads and listen to the eight directions. Before she could see the reason, David was already surrounded by the noble guests who had heard the news. Of course, because Gu Hanhan and David are currently in the position of a conjoined baby, she is naturally surrounded by her.

From Gu Hanhan's eyes, the group of noble guests were like flies that had seen some intermediate products of the cycle, and they pounced on them with a buzz. They come to talk to them for all sorts of reasons. Its intricate design is so clever that it can make all the angel Cinderella who wanders outside the Acropolis to hang her golden beetle son-in-law commit suicide in shame.

They talk elegantly and say endless social words, once translated into words that normal people can understand, it is all flattery that makes Gu Hanhan dig into the cracks of the ground when such an unscrupulous girl with no skin, no face and no discipline listens to it. For the five good young people who can listen to so many flattering words and remain quiet, Gu Hanhan sincerely admires them. Anyway, she is a good girl and can't listen to her shyness.

Gu Hanhan hadn't found a chance to ask the maid's sister for a scarf to cover his face, so standing next to David Duran was uncomfortable, and his intestines were full of regret, in short, he wanted to run away immediately, but it was not good to run away immediately.

Gu Hanhan looked left and right, and noticed that a cross-shaped platform had been erected at the end of the palace facing the end of the spiral staircase. A red carpet was laid out on and off the stage, and there were lights and cameras, which seemed to be a place prepared for the scholarship award ceremony. So he quickly pulled David's arm and whispered to him, "Then you are busy first, I'll play by myself." Find your classmates and meet them, they should have already come, it's almost time for the awards. ”

"Are you bored?" David immediately left behind an old superpowered nobleman and responded to Gu Hanhan and said, "Go play, someone will call you in a while." Then he explained to the deputy chief attendant beside him: "You accompany Miss Gu." ”

"You don't have to call me, well, I don't do group dances, I don't need to be accompanied. In fact, even if you complete your historical mission as a temporary worker after entering the door, you can be honorably laid off. Gu Hanhan muttered a few words of complaint, and then walked away. Mr. Deputy Chief Attendant was duty-bound and immediately ran with him.

The old nobleman who was paying tribute to David was stunned on the spot, and the other noble buddies who were wandering nearby also had straight eyes - where did this girl pop up, such a fork, or rather a stupid lack!

At this moment, the patriarch of the aristocratic superpower family, the powerful prince, the high-level superpower, and the big broker who sells everything in the universe - all the noble people who are fortunate enough to witness the scene just now have the same idea.

As early as when Gu Hanhan observed and despised them, they were actually observing and despising Gu Hanhan. A woman who can be brought to a banquet by someone of David-Duran's stature is either his mother, or his wife, or his healer, or his mistress. It is absolutely impossible for a female family relative such as a sister or aunt or a female guard or something like that, because it is impossible for a subordinate to hold his arm.

As we all know, David Duran's mother died many years ago, and now the grave grows grass, and it can be as tall as a person. As for talking about a wife, if you talk about a "wife" with a person who is destined to be a bachelor for the rest of your life, and who has nothing to do with the word "marriage" in this life, this is similar to pointing at a monk and scolding a bald donkey, and discussing the nature of masculinity in bed with a person with impotence/impotence, and it is very likely that you will be beaten on the spot. So there is no need to mention the wife. Everyone knows the healer, Princess Helena.

Then the identity of this woman is very clear, she is the mistress of David Duran, and she is the mistress of a very dishonorable birth - of course, at least for the moment, she is not supposed to be very favored, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with birth. Twenty kilometers away, the girl could smell a pariah smell.

However, now that the girl is running, she is looking at the moon in the fog. The function of the mistress is quite simple and clear, in short, it is used as a vase at the banquet, as an inflatable doll at the banquet, and some ancillary functions can be developed in the spare time, such as pet breeding or emotional trash cans. There may be a lot of arrogant mistresses, but have you ever seen anyone who dares to leave her employer at a banquet and run away to play by herself?

Who is this girl, and who is she relying on? Is she another illegitimate daughter of Lord Mocky who has not yet been exposed, or is she a scumbag accidentally left over from the youth of Lord Maximilian? Of course, the latter is unlikely, it is really the illegitimate daughter of Maximilian, and she does not dare to bring it out to show off. This is to let the goddess of the earth, who wants to go crazy for Maximilian, know that she must not be really crazy?

Just when all kinds of unreliable speculations were thrown out and were about to fly all over the sky, David Duran decisively gave everyone an answer, effectively curbing the fermentation of rumors.

"Miss Gu Hanhan is my girlfriend. ”

With a "bang", the old nobleman's jaw did not fall from his mouth, and all the aristocratic buddies present who heard this sentence were stupid together. For a moment there was silence - what did we hear?

The title of girlfriend is fundamentally different from that of mistress. Let's put it this way, in the world of high-level superpowers, a girlfriend is about equal to a fiancée, and a fiancée is infinitely equal to a wife.

Wait, isn't there a rumor that David Duran and Helena are going to be engaged this winter? And hasn't his public girlfriend always been Helena? At this time, out of nowhere, an inferior girl claims to be her girlfriend - or David Duran himself!

I'm XXXXX, which one is a rumor!

David Duran was unconcerned about the reaction of the aristocratic "masses", and apparently had no intention of taking any responsibility for the rumors, but only gently reminded the old aristocratic gentleman: "Your Excellency Faro, what did you just say?"

"Oh, I mean, speaking of ......," the old nobleman stammered as he replied, "Speaking of which, there are several planets in the star field where the contemptible family is located, all of which have a pleasant climate and are a good place for honeymoons. ”

"yes, that's good. Another day, I would like to ask you to take the time to come to the manor to talk about it in detail, and if your girlfriend is interested, you may have to trouble your excellency to be a guide. David said.

This sentence pushed the atmosphere into a silent □□ again, and the old nobleman was suddenly excited, and exclaimed as if he were bloody: "It's an honor, please come." ”

The vast number of aristocratic masses are also like chickens, and the enthusiasm for spreading rumors is high. Rumors are like conservation of mass, and quelling one rumor is bound to come at the cost of another rumor. Gu Hanhan became the girlfriend and fiancée of the five good young men in this way. Then the rumor quickly spread from a small circle to the entire banquet at the speed that the rumor should have, and then from the banquet to the entire upper class of the Beacon Star. And the sad thing is that the earth girl, who is a rumor female pig's foot, still knows nothing, and she can't refute the rumors.
