Chapter 55: No Scheming? Hidden ghosts?
At the same time, a corner of Atlas -
The deep night is full of stars, hanging on it are three rounds of crescent moons, the night is clear without the slightest dark clouds, like a clear stream, occasionally the wind blows, the slight coolness does not give people a kind of empty emptiness, it is worth making people sink down and enjoy the scenery quietly. *With *dream* small* say wwwlā
When the sound of slightly impetuous music came to her ears, it seemed to be pulled back into reality for a moment, the extravagant lights covered the starlight, the bright red carpet spread out into a lively stage, and then the celebrities who shuttled through it with false smiles, Lilith sighed softly and dragged her skirt into the crowd.
Although she knew that not all people were in vain, but she was disgusted by the hypocrisy of most nobles, and she had no interest in identifying them one by one, rather than doing these time-wasting things, it was better to exploit the fruit brew that Lamia brought from Roselorin, which was the biggest tonic for supple skin, and of course, going to ** lovely Vivien was also a means to kill time.
Lilith has never concealed her dislike for men, but no matter how unwilling she is, it is impossible to walk away, as a representative of Atlas, it is normal to attend this kind of banquet to connect merchants and nobles from all over the world, and she may be able to lose her temper when facing Toria in the General's Mansion, and in this case, she can only restrain her bad feelings.
Smiling and rejecting the invitation of the man who came out of nowhere, the man could be seen running to the other corner, excitedly starting to boast to the people around him, and his vanity could be heard from afar, what Miss Lilith had a good impression of him, and smiled angelically at him, and there were other unfounded excuses such as twisted feet and unable to dance.
Fart! If you can, the old lady really wants to reward you with a slap in the face! Viciously speaking in her heart, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, and she had no choice but to hide her true thoughts in her heart.
After socializing in the banquet like this, Lilith unexpectedly noticed the young man in the center of the banquet, and after a little thought in her heart, she looked up the young man's name in her memory.
Houstiton - The youngest young owner of the Klein Chamber of Commerce!
Looking at the slightly embarrassed man who was surrounded in the crowd, Lilith couldn't help but mourn for him, no one around him was easy to deal with, whether it was the president of the Hero Chamber of Commerce who mastered the technology of aircraft ships, or the oldest Count Kurolo of Atlas, or Freya, the 'queen' of Bauhinia Flower, all of them were old foxes who ate people and didn't spit out bones.
His eyes stayed on Hustiton, watching him shyly show embarrassment and frequently raise his glass, as the center of the topic, he seemed to be a little tired of dealing with the temptations thrown from all sides, even if he pretended to be elegant at the moment, he looked funny because of some reddened cheeks, and it should not be a fake, and from his clear pupils he could see a clearly panicked look.
has a weak appearance, and he is an outlier among businessmen.
Lilith secretly said in her heart, she originally hated men, when she saw Housteton, she didn't immediately rise to disgust and the like, from his face, you can see the shortcomings that many young businessmen should have, not sophisticated conversation skills enough, not mature enough opinions, not mellow enough to treat people, want to cover up but have some nondescript and laughable behavior, in summary, Houstiton's first impression on her is that people feel honest and easy to bully.
"Lady Freya, long time no see." Lilith immediately walked over and greeted Freya, who was familiar with her, perhaps because her first impression of Houstiton was not bad, so she subconsciously wanted to help him out, but when she found out that she was unconscious, Lilith couldn't help but be stunned.
Where did this idea come from?
When Freya saw her, her eyes lit up, and she immediately raised the cup in her hand with a smile, and said with an elusive smile: "Long time no see, Your Excellency Lilith, I don't know if you are satisfied with the Kira flower liquid that I sent you a few days ago?" ”
Invisibly, she seemed to realize something, and it was naturally impossible to show any look on her face, but the thought in her heart had become another thought, and her eyes towards Houstiton had become a little vigilant, but she was coping with the topic that she couldn't withdraw: "Lady Freya is really joking, like that kind of high-end skin care products, I am already very honored to be able to use them, how can I not be satisfied." ”
"Your Excellency Lilith, this is your modesty, it is obviously an eventful time, but the skin care is so meticulous, this is not easy."
Kurolo, you dead old man, you don't need a hint, I know what to say and what not to say! Lilith whispered in her heart, returning a sharp look, and then Count Coololo, who was also on Atlas's side, looked away in satisfaction.
With the temptation of you coming and going, she gradually sniffed out some of the signs of conspiracy, thinking that this is also the reason why so many old foxes would get together, looking at Houstiton, it was too natural and clumsy move, and she couldn't see any flaws, if it was really unbearable, at most it would only make people feel that he had no scheming, and it was not worth paying too much attention, if it was pretending to be weak, it was a clever means worth pondering, after all, the weak were sent to be despised, Help from other parties will also be received.
"By the way, has Your Excellency Lilith heard about what happened in the Chienros Arena today?"
Then the president of the Hero Chamber of Commerce suddenly turned to Lilith, and it was impossible for her not to know that although she spent most of the afternoon in Haiyin's apartment, she did not completely ignore what happened to Atlas.
"Chienrose, Lord Floss is talking about Mitaunos."
"Well, Naryas is really talented, and I, Hiro, have rarely heard of such a brave warrior, so I think that Your Excellency Greedy Wolf must also be a brave warrior like the four generals of your country?"
Listening to the meaningful question, Lilith did not deny it, but she did not make any recognition: "Your Excellency has won the award......
"Hiccup! This...... I know what happened on the Chess Rose Arena, but it's been recorded in its entirety, and the Klein Chamber of Commerce has already paid for it, so if you don't dislike it, I'll ask someone to present it now! ”
As he spoke, Houstiton, who was already half-drunk, ordered someone to bring the image to the banquet hall, Lilith originally wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Culolo, and when the hall echoed with the image of what happened on the Chienrose Arena, the nobles and merchants in the banquet hall turned their eyes to the water-like picture with great interest, and when the scene of a thousand people dancing appeared in front of them, Lilith couldn't help but widen her eyes, and when she looked at the almost illusory scene, almost everyone exclaimed
Glancing at Culolo, Lilith swirled to fall on Houstiton, and the drunken man was quite vain and accepted the admiration of all parties on the field, as if it was a great honor to be able to present such a wonderful image.
She shook her head, Lilith didn't tell if he was trying to attract attention because he didn't have any intentions, or if he was deliberately trying to do it because he was hiding a ghost.

**********************************************************************************************
"Wow, look, the most exciting scene is the figure in the sky, this is definitely an amazing martial arts mystery!"
"Hehe, I quite appreciate that he took a punch for the swordsman, which shows that he is very friendly and ...... See, I carried it at such a close distance, but it didn't look like there was any injury, tsk! Tut! Tut! ”
"I received a message from the grapevine, Kaka from the Chienros Martial Arts Arena said that this person claims to be a martial arts expert!"
"What kind of news are you, I've heard that the greedy wolf is the king's illegitimate son......"
"Go~Go~Go~"
Listening to the discussion in his ears, Shen Yi smiled helplessly, even the rumor of an illegitimate child, sighed and shook his head, and then squeezed out of the crowd with great difficulty, and bought a small bead in front of the shop that sold all kinds of water shadows, and what was recorded on it was the image of him defeating Mitaunos on the Jingwutai that day, and before he could stand firm after paying, he was squeezed out of the surging crowd.
A few days have passed since he challenged Mitaunos, all kinds of discussions have been rampant, the images dug up by people with good intentions have been sold at sky-high prices, the newspapers have frequently reported his heroic deeds that day, and the words of gratitude of the nobles who have been rescued are flying all over the sky, and what is even more outrageous is that some noble ladies are even releasing news that they want to have dinner with him, and even vaguely hint at their admiration.
All kinds of comments against him are also endless, without exception are analyzing his combat effectiveness, Shen Yi himself has read a report that compares him to the four generals, some admiring martial artists even found Qi Enros Martial Arts Arena, tried to contact him, and then issued a challenge, overnight, the name of the greedy wolf spread.
As for Shen Yi himself, he went to the Chienroth Arena the next day to receive his bounty, and met the swordsman named Jason in the reception room of Chienros, and looked at each other from a distance, looking at the other party with a look of wanting to say something, and Old John politely asked if he could leave his contact information, and apologized for the rude remarks of another staff member named Kaka that day.
It's just that he replied in silence, not wanting to leave any trouble, after receiving the bounty, he separated the crowd, and did not let the people behind him have any chance to track, disappeared around the corner of the street, and then used stealth to avoid the crowd and return to Haiyin's apartment, but he never thought that the impact of this incident would expand to such a scale as it is now, faintly, he felt that someone was manipulating this qiē behind his back, as for the purpose, it is unknown for the time being.
Walking towards the little girl outside the crowd, Shen Yi handed over the beads in his hand: "Oh, I bought ......"
The latter interrupted him impatiently: "It's too slow! Fifty points, unqualified, doesn't Brother Yi know that wasting time is wasting his life? ”
"Hey, how do I remember that you begged me to buy this Mizukage for you, how did it become a waste of life."
"I don't care, anyway, Brother Ah Yi is useless, and he can't do any trivial things!"
"Forehead ......"
Shen Yi hung his shoulders helplessly, watched Mei Mei excitedly take the water shadow in her hand carefully into her arms, and then walked in front and began to count his no, and shook his head helplessly.
"I seem to have heard you say before that I'm not interested in that."
"Huh? Yes, did I ever say something like this? Brother Ah Yi is really good at laughing, let's go, let's go, I'm going to West Street to buy something today! ”
After that, she couldn't help but take his hand and run forward, Shen Yi probably knew that the little girl regarded him as a free laborer carrying things again......
