Chapter 499: The Feast
Because of Bach's face, everyone respects him in front of others, but behind him, he is the object of ridicule.
In the eyes of these Phoenix Sect disciples who were promoted to nobility by virtue of their combat exploits of licking blood from the knife edge, Helende was just a waste man who ate his bloodline.
So when the news of Ye Feng's "teasing" Baya spread, Baya became the object of jokes among the children of other nobles.
But the people who make fun of Baya, the vast majority of them are the daughters of those nobles, as for the sons of those nobles, they have only one mind for Baya, that is, to pursue it, after all, Helian Baya is one of the most beautiful and temperamental women in the entire Phoenix Gate, the reason why it is said is one is because there is a woman in the Phoenix Gate who is three points more beautiful than Baya, that is, the goddaughter of Helenbach raised since childhood, the little princess of Phoenix Gate Yan Ruyu, unfortunately, Yan Ruyu is not of Xiqiang blood, but from the Central Plains, I Xiqiang customs have always rejected the Central Plains people, and Yan Ruyu is usually very low-key and rarely shows up in front of people, so in terms of fame, she can't compare to Helian Baya.
Helian Baya, because of her beauty and the bloodline in her body, became the dream goddess of most of the young disciples of the Phoenix Gate.
Baya has been at home for the past two days, and the affairs of the fighting tournament are handled at home as much as possible if they have to, she rarely goes out, and her father Helende has obviously heard about the "incident" between her and Ye Feng, but Heliande only persuaded her not to care about other people's gossip, and never even the slightest idea of teaching her the people who laughed at her for her.
This made Baya feel very depressed, even a little sad, she respected her father very much, and respected her bloodline even more, unlike others, she was still in the border when she was born, and she was pampered by many people since she was a child, but now, because of the war, her father's position has been greatly weakened, and she no longer has the grace of being a ri, and there is no respect for them in the past.
She does not deny that her character is a little proud, she has been working hard, through her father and Bach's old invitation from Helian Hong to get a position of twelve envoys, but unfortunately, Helian Hong did not let her participate in military affairs, but let her handle government affairs like her father, even so, in terms of government affairs, her level is even appreciated by those old envoys.
But the more this is the case, the more people exclude her and laugh at her, and those noble daughters of the same age as her, because they are jealous of her beauty and her ability, always want to find an opportunity to make her ugly and see her jokes.
And the "incident" that happened between her and Ye Feng just became a handle for those aristocratic girls to make fun of, laugh at her, and mock her.
Tomorrow, the Fighting Skills Conference in Star City will begin, this is a festival that can make the people of the entire Star City boil, and it is also an opportunity to make the children of the nobles of the palace gamble wantonly. In the past, there will be some noble children who use the relationship and power in their hands to break the rules to gamble underground, take advantage of the time difference between the heavenly soldiers and the heavenly generals' fighting skills, and buy off some of the winning heavenly soldiers, and mix them into the subsequent heavenly generals through the relationship, so that they can challenge the heavenly generals with the strength of the heavenly soldiers, once they win, these noble children can get a high return on gambling chips, of course, they don't like money, what they are pursuing is just a kind of excitement, an alternative enjoyment.
Before the fighting competition, this ri is also a celebration of the official establishment of the palace of Star City, because of his father's face, Baya had to go to the palace to participate in this celebration dinner, the early death of the biological mother made Baya cherish the relationship with his father, although the father later married a wife, and gave birth to a son, but Baya never had a trace of dissatisfaction with his father because of this.
The dinner was presided over by Helian Hong, the young master of the Phoenix Gate, and the military and political nobles gathered with their children and daughters, and the scene looked very lively.
After a solemn ceremony, the feast began, the atmosphere became relaxed, and the nobles naturally had a place for the adults.
Many of the remaining noble children are around Baya's side, but because Baya has been cold-faced, they are just talking to each other on the side, enjoying Baya's beauty from time to time, it can be said that every nobleman's son present here hopes that he can get Baya's heart, and their status and power in the Phoenix Gate aristocratic group are among the best, competing with each other, and each of them is full of energy to pursue Baya.
Unfortunately, so far, no one has been able to win the affection of Baya.
Baya's half-brother is Helian Fei, fourteen years old, very fat, like her father Helende, when he laughs, the muscles in his face can drown out his facial features.
At this time, Helian Fei, who was short and fat and looked a little shy, was surrounded by several aristocratic girls and walked towards Baya.
Baya hates these aristocratic girls, hates these people who have no pursuit and ideals and only know how to compare themselves with the glory of their fathers, they don't know how many warriors' blood they have exchanged for the precious perfume they wear and the luxurious clothes they wear, and they even think that the Phoenix Gate is the master of this Western Frontier world, and they are the masters of the Western Frontier World.
How big is the Western Frontier, and the terrifying and mysterious Great Light Temple, to them, it is completely an ethereal concept.
Baya saw them pushing their younger brother over, remembering that they had been spreading rumors everywhere that they had been "molested" by that hateful Ye Feng, she felt disgusted and bored in her heart, she wanted to get up and leave, but because of the occasion and her brother's face, she finally endured it and didn't move.
"No matter what they say or laugh at, I just don't hear it."
"Venerable Miss Helenbaya, your brother has come to you for something, but he doesn't think you will grant his request, so he has invited us over to help him say a few words." The person who said this was a girl who came out of the crowd that had just separated, with a beautiful figure that was not inferior to Baya, but with a face that Baya hated incomparably, this girl was not, someone else, it was Helian Xuncai who spread the news about what happened between her and Ye Feng, a noble descendant who also owned the East Helian clan like her.
Helian Xingcai is actually very beautiful in terms of appearance, but her appearance and temperament cannot be compared with Baya.
If Baya dislikes any woman the most in the pirate group, there is no doubt that it is the one who talks to her in front of her, her father Heliantu is the number two person in the Phoenix Gate army, second only to Udon's father, and is also the generalissimo of the Phoenix Gate Army Army, the actual ruler of the army, an absolute powerful person, her two elder brothers are also the deputy generals of each legion, it can be said that the Heliantu family controls almost half of the military power of the entire Phoenix Gate.
It is precisely because of these prominent family backgrounds and influences that Helian Jingcai has been very arrogant since she was a child, she is proud, arrogant, domineering, crazy, and even a little perverted. She likes to pursue absolute material comforts, the satisfaction of being hugged wherever she goes, and the focus of everyone's eyes, whether it is in the eyes of men or women. She thinks she is beautiful, and she thinks that all handsome young men will like her and pursue her, but in fact, in this respect she will never be the opponent of Baya and Yan Ruyu, who rarely shows up, compared with her flamboyant style everywhere, Baya is undoubtedly very low-key, but such a low-key Baya has become the goddess admired, crushed and pursued by many young disciples of the Phoenix Gate.
As for Yan Ruyu, Helian Jingcai is not much of a piece, because Yan Ruyu is from the Central Plains, and there is no comparison with her at all, no matter how beautiful she looks, no matter how favored by the old master, she is never a Xiqiang person, there is always a ri, she will be abandoned by the Phoenix Gate, and Yan Ruyu rarely appears in public, so Helian Jingcai basically has no opinion on Yan Ruyu.
But Helian Baya is different, she is an orthodox Xiqiang person, and she is an Eastern Helian noble, these two points are by no means comparable to that Yan Ruyu.
Helian Xuna looked at Baya's gaze with undisguised jealousy, and seeing that Baya ignored her, she glanced at a girl standing behind Helian Fei, who nodded and pushed Helian Fei in front of Baya. (To be continued)
