Time flew by, and a few days later, the gathering between the wealthy families finally began.

The banquet was scheduled for the evening, and the brothers and sisters of the Cartier family had already made sufficient preparations to build a gorgeous mansion somewhere in Icewind Dale, so the party was not held in Jackdaw Castle, and even if something happened, it was not under the jurisdiction of the Academy.

In addition to members of the sixteen wealthy families such as Wellington, Morgan, and Poseidon, as well as princes and princesses of the federal royal family, there were also many big nobles from all over the continent, as well as royal relatives and relatives of some small and medium-sized countries around the Holy Federation, and there were about dozens of people in total.

This is a very formal gathering, and the nobles pay great attention to etiquette and appearance, so Lin Yang deliberately dressed up, wore a very well-fitting gold-trimmed tuxedo, combed his hair meticulously, and sprayed perfume on his body.

There is nothing to be picky about his appearance, since he came to the academy, Lin Yang has always shown himself as an ordinary teenager, neither too handsome nor too ugly.

The moment he stepped into the hall, Lin Yang suddenly had a feeling that he was in the wrong place.

The hall was already full of people, all dressed in bright clothes, chatting and laughing, a band playing popular music in the corner, and everyone dancing on the red carpet to the beat, men and women, in pairs.

The dinner party is of course the main event, and the dance party is also essential.

Although it had been several days since the duel, the residual warmth of the sensational effect caused by Lin Yang for a while was still there, and many people immediately surrounded him.

"It's Your Excellency Lin Yang, right? You are welcome to come to this banquet, please come here. Belinda bowed slightly, and personally received Lin Yang with the etiquette of treating VIPs.

"It's also my pleasure." Lin Yangpi said with a smile, and said politely.

Walking into the crowd, many young and beautiful girls surrounded them, wanting to apply for Lin Yang's dance partner, Lin Yang politely declined in turn, went straight to the bar, sat on the high chair, and asked the bartender for a glass of wine. As for the reason for rejecting his dance partner, it was not that he didn't want to dance, but that he didn't know how to dance at all.

A sip of red wine with ice cubes rolled into his stomach, it was cold and comfortable, and he found that someone had been secretly paying attention to him, Lin Yang turned his head to look.

It was O'Brien, who was sitting on a sofa in the distance at the moment, and after being discovered by Lin Yang, O'Brien's pale blue eyes showed a smile, and he raised his glass to Lin Yang.

Belinda sat next to her brother, and around the sofa sat some nobles, one of whom was a handsome young man who was telling a joke vigorously, and from time to time burst into laughter.

"Sister, it's time to tell me your plan, right?" O'Brien spoke to Belinda.

Belinda glanced in Lin Yang's direction and said with a smug smile: "The time has not yet come." ”

……

"Bang!"

"Full!" A crystal cup slapped heavily on the table, and Arnold of the Wellington family sat down next to Lin Yang, he was the fourth in the family, and there were three brothers in front of him, there was no chance of competing for the position of patriarch in the future, coupled with an honest and honest appearance, it couldn't help but make people feel very close.

"Arnold Wellington?" Lin Yang glanced at the other party and said with a smile: "People from the sixteenth wealthy family? ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if he's a wealthy family or not, there is only a banquet tonight, and there is no high or low!" Arnold smiled stupidly, scratched the back of his head and said.

"I admire you." Raising his glass, Lin Yang smiled and said, "I'll do it first as respect." ”

After a little chat, the two couldn't help but be more speculative.

"I said buddy, that duel that day, you fought so well, Ranson didn't even have a chance to fight back, it was all passive defense, especially when your artifact came out at the end of the day...... Arnold Da Lu smiled: "Do you know how many people were suppressed by you at that time!" ”

"Hehe, it's just a fluke." Lin Yang said modestly, "Compared to your family's feared ghost knight, my trick can only be regarded as an ugly sacrifice. ”

Suddenly, a burst of urine hit, Lin Yang said goodbye first and ran to the bathroom.

Back in the hall again, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, Lin Yang turned his head and couldn't help but be stunned: "Sarina Morgan?" ”

As early as the twilight plane, Lin Yang was extremely impressed by the Morgan family's Spider Knight, and the girl in front of him, as the eldest daughter of the Morgan family, often appeared in the academy in a high-profile manner, so he was naturally no stranger.

"Can I invite you to a dance?" Sarina was dressed up exceptionally beautiful today, dressed in a blue and white dress, with long hair flying, picturesque eyebrows, and smiling.

"This ......" Lin Yang was suddenly a little embarrassed, the other party was a person from a sixteen-year-old family, and his status was extremely noble, it was too bad to refuse, and it would not work if he didn't refuse.

"You can't dance?" Sarina suddenly saw Lin Yang's embarrassment, smiled, took the initiative to hold Lin Yang's arm and palm, and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you, it's very simple." ”

The other party's hospitality put him in an embarrassment, and he could only overlord make a bow, and it was difficult for the two to agree on the pace at first, and several times he either stepped on Sarina's foot, which made her frown slightly, or bumped into the person behind. However, after more than ten minutes, Lin Yang gradually mastered the skills and rhythm, and began to get on the right track.

"Lin Yang." Jumping and jumping, Sarina suddenly sent a voice to him: "On the surface, this is a banquet between wealthy families, but secretly it is actually a relationship, you should know this, right?" ”

"Indeed, the essence of a gathering is to develop relationships." Lin Yang nodded, and also transmitted the message to the other party.

"Although you caused a stir in the duel a few days ago, it doesn't mean that everyone is afraid of you, on the contrary, because you took out the artifact, I can assert that at this banquet today, there are definitely more than ten people who have other thoughts about you, and you don't actually belong to any power, do you admit that?" Sarina smiled.

"I don't need the shelter of any other force." Lin Yang said calmly.

"Of course you don't need to be in the academy, but what about waiting until graduation? The world outside can be very chaotic, and finding a good owner as soon as possible will also be of great help to your future. Sarina blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to be a lobbyist, I just want you to think about it and join a certain force." Wellington, Poseidon, the federal royalty, or our Morgan family can do it, and with the talent you are showing now, no one will easily refuse you. ”

Obviously, the other party threw him an olive branch, and it was an extremely tempting kind.

Joining the Sixteen Giants directly means that the past is like a brocade and riding on the rocket of glory and wealth.

"Why didn't you mention the Cartier family?" Lin Yang asked rhetorically: "Could it be that because of this party, the brothers and sisters of the Cartier family are the hosts?" ”

"Not really." Glancing in O'Brien's direction unconsciously, Sarina said, "They don't seem to like you too much, it's my instinct as a woman. ”

"Thank you for your advice, I'll consider it." Lin Yang gave an ambiguous answer.

"Don't make me wait too long!" Sarina smiled sweetly, revealing two small dimples.

The music played by the band gradually turned to high-pitched and passionate, and the aristocrats on the red carpet also quickened their pace, and a small area suddenly became vacant in the center, and a pair of handsome and beautiful young men and women as the lead dancers moved all the way to the center, and as the song gradually ended, the blonde boy raised his right hand high, holding the girl's palm in his hand, and the girl stood on tiptoe and circled wildly in place, and then fell into the boy's arms, her neck was thrown back, her long hair flew, and the music came to an abrupt end, and the dance officially ended.

These two people are none other than the smallest prince and princess of the federal royal family, Daisy Apollo and Tracy Apollo.

In a dark corner of the wall, Poppy, a nine-year-old genius of the Poseidon family, looked at all this coldly, and said to himself disdainfully: "It's just a boring banquet." ”
