Chapter 446: Exposed
"Haha, my lord is right, the person who comes is a guest! everyone invites it, the banquet has already been prepared, just waiting for you to come!"
After Xiao Qian, the head of the Xiao family, laughed awkwardly, he hurriedly led Yan Xiaofei and the others into the banquet hall.
At this time, in the banquet hall, the servants of the Xiao family had already prepared delicious food, and all kinds of delicacies and fine wines were dazzling, showing the importance that the Xiao family attached to Yan Xiaofei and others.
"Lord Yan, tonight, everyone is willing to come to the Humble House, our entire Xiao family is full of brilliance! This banquet invites everyone, in addition to formally thanking Lord Zong Zhengming for his help last time, the Xiao family also wants to thank you for the efforts you have made for the entire Longjiang Ancient City during this time! The residents of Longjiang Ancient City have seen everything you have done, and I believe that the Longjiang Ancient City in the future will be completely cut off from the past and make their due contribution to the rise of the entire Mohai Alliance!"
After the guests and hosts sat down and introduced each other, Xiao Qian, the head of the Xiao family, solemnly stood up and toasted Yan Xiaofei and the others, and expressed his gratitude to them sincerely.
Yan Xiaofei, Shangguan Yu and the others naturally responded to Xiao Qian solemnly, saying that the City Lord's Mansion would do everything to make the ancient city of Longjiang more glorious than in the past. As long as the major forces of the Longjiang Ancient City have been loyal to the Desert Sea Alliance, the Desert Sea Alliance will also not disappoint the entire Longjiang Ancient City.
"Haha, all of you adults are really dragons and phoenixes among people! Ye Ye City Lord can let you follow him with all your hearts, and naturally he is even more extraordinary! Our Longjiang Ancient City is blessed, hahahaha!"
Xiao Qian seemed to be very satisfied with Yan Xiaofei and the others' answers, and Yan Xiaofei and the others also had a good impression of the Xiao family, and the banquet gradually entered a climax.
However, no matter what questions Xiao Qian asked them next, Yan Xiaofei, Zong Zhengming and the others all seemed to have not heard, they were all eating and drinking in silence, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
"Uh..."
Xiao Qian didn't know what he had just said wrong, which made the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly become so heavy. His face was at a loss, and he didn't know which sentence he said just now was inappropriate, and he even looked at the three sisters of the Xiao family next to him for help.
On Yan Xiaofei and Zong Zhengming's side, after the initial greetings, they both began to deliberately avoid talking to Xiao Qian. Even if Xiao Qian took the initiative to provoke the topic, they all acted as if they hadn't heard it, and kept burying their heads in eating and eating.
Zong Zhengming was not used to this kind of occasion, so he talked less than usual. Shangguan Yu, as everyone's lady, is not good at acting more active than Zong Zhengming and others, so he also did not speak.
And Yan Xiaofei, who was still trying to perform just now, was worried that he would be considered the parent of Zong Zhengming and others if he had been talking to Xiao Qian, so he resolutely stopped answering any questions from Xiao Qian. But it was not a way to keep it like this, so Yan Xiaofei immediately set a stern gaze on Zhang Tianyu who was not far away.
However, Zhang Tianyu seemed to be disheartened after suffering the blow, even though he knew the meaning of Yan Xiaofei's eyes very well, he still pretended not to know how to bury his head in eating, in order to protest Yan Xiaofei's injustice.
Yan Xiaofei's face turned pale when he saw this, and he couldn't think of any other way for a while, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall became more and more solemn.
Shangguan Yu, who was sitting next to Zong Zhengming, began to show a fierce light, and cast his agitated eyes on Yan Xiao, the eldest among them
Fly. Because in her opinion, this banquet was originally prepared for the matchmaking of Zong Zhengming and Xiao Yuying, and everyone else should temporarily sacrifice their own interests for this goal.
But Yan Xiaofei didn't think so, and finally had a chance to communicate with the Xiao family sisters, so he was unwilling to sacrifice his role as a parent and talk to Xiao Qian about some unnutritious topics.
Therefore, when Shangguan Yu cast an agitative gaze at him, Yan Xiaofei immediately turned his face away and continued to enjoy the food on the table, as if he had not eaten something delicious for hundreds of years.
Just when the atmosphere was so solemn that even the servants of the Xiao family on the side of the banquet hall began to sweat coldly, Xiao Qian's eldest daughter Xiao Wan'er finally smiled lightly and took the initiative to ask Yan Xiaofei in front of her with concern: "My lord, I wonder if these meals are to your taste? If you don't like it, I can ask the chef of the Xiao family to make another one for you!"
Bodhisattva!
When Yan Xiaofei heard Xiao Wan'er's words of concern, it was as if she heard the sound of heaven, and her eyes when she looked up at Xiao Wan'er were full of emotion and appreciation.
In his eyes, Xiao Wan'er at this time seemed to have her own halo, like a bodhisattva who rescued suffering, which made people full of gratitude and respect. Therefore, Yan Xiaofei immediately regarded Xiao Wan'er as his goal tonight, and quickly put on a gentle and elegant appearance and replied to Xiao Wan'er: "Thank you Miss Wan'er for your concern! Cultivators originally only needed coarse tea and light rice, but today's tasting of the Xiao family's craftsmanship made me truly feel the allure of food." Today's meal is no longer a matter of whether it fits the taste or not, it is simply a heavenly delicacy left in the mortal world, which makes Yan someone's appetite increase!"
Yan Xiaofei's numb compliment made Shangguan Yu and Zong Zhengming and others next to him goosebumps, especially Shangguan Yu, who was in charge of Yan Xiaofei's diet during this time, had a complicated expression after hearing Yan Xiaofei's words, and looked at Yan Xiaofei with both admiration and contempt.
"Since you stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, that meal is not a good food and wine for you to enjoy?
However, Shangguan Yu finally swallowed back this sentence, and for the sake of Yan Xiaofei and Xiao Wan'er having broken the deadlock, they no longer cared about him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shangguan Yu immediately matched Zong Zhengming and Xiao Yuying, so that the two of them could also have a good chat. Even in order to avoid falling into an embarrassing situation again, Xiao Xu, the youngest daughter of the Xiao family, began to chat with Zhang Tianyu without a match, and the atmosphere of the banquet became relaxed and lively.
When Yan Xiaofei and Xiao Wan'er were talking about things they hated each other, Xiao Wan'er frowned and thought for a while, and then said to Yan Xiaofei in a firm tone: "The little woman hates nothing more than those who don't want to make progress all day long and are addicted to wine! If I am allowed to live with this kind of person for the rest of my life, it is better to cut myself off and die early than to be born!"
Don't look at Xiao Wan'er's gentle and generous appearance, but her temperament is the most decisive among the three sisters. The more Yan Xiaofei looked at her, the more she liked it, and immediately after Xiao Wan'er finished speaking, she said approvingly: "Totally agree! This son usually hates this kind of person the most." In addition to eating and waiting for death, it is almost impossible for them to have a second ending, which is also a kind of sadness in life!"
While he was talking, Yan Xiaofei was about to take the wine jug and pour himself wine. However, due to his excessive force, a small book suddenly flew out of his sleeve, and the cover was painted with a picture of a man and a woman conciliating
Ambiguous scenes.
Syllable!
The sound of the little book falling on the dining table was clearly audible, and suddenly the entire banquet hall was quiet, and everyone looked at Yan Xiaofei with an indescribable look in their eyes.
Yan Xiaofei's face turned dark, and after he withdrew the little book into his sleeve with extremely swift movements, he was completely silent, and he didn't know what to say for a while!
Zhang Tianyu, who was not far away, caught a glimpse of the cover of the small book, and instantly buried his head lower, for fear that Yan Xiaofei would be angry with him and pull him to the City Lord's Mansion Square for public execution.
That's right!
That little book was given to him by Zhang Tianyu yesterday in order to appease Yan Xiaofei's anger, but he didn't expect Yan Xiaofei to come directly without even changing his clothes because he didn't pay attention to this banquet. This caused him to forget that the little book was hidden in his sleeve, and when he accidentally exposed it, he slapped his face with a crackle!
The atmosphere is even more solemn than when everyone didn't speak just now!
The servants of the Xiao family on the side of the banquet hall were ready to turn around and run away when Yan Xiaofei was annoyed and ashamed, so as not to be affected by the anger of this martial king powerhouse.
Everyone was stunned and didn't know how to resolve this embarrassing situation!
In the end, Xiao Qian, the head of the Xiao family, laughed awkwardly, picked up his wine glass and smiled at everyone at the dinner table and said: "Haha, the so-called erotic sex is also! Yan Gongzi is also a normal man, and some little habits are understandable! Today, all the adults of the City Lord's Mansion are willing to come to the cold house with their faces, which makes our entire Xiao family flourish! Come, I toast you here, I hope you can have a good time tonight!"
On the surface, Xiao Qian resolved the embarrassment like a person who had come over, but his mind was actually a little chaotic, and even the words of welcoming Yan Xiaofei and the others just now were repeated. Yan Xiaofei's expression was still solemn after hearing this, and his right hand was still a little trembling when he got up to clink glasses with Xiao Qian and the others.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the banquet hall was about to become heavy again, Xiao Yuying, who had just sat down, also hurriedly echoed Xiao Qian's words, and said lightly to Yan Xiaofei: "Father is right! Yan Gongzi is a healthy man, and some small habits are very normal. As long as it's not the kind of person who is unscrupulous and communicates and shares this kind of thing with his peers, our Xiao family can accept it!"
"Yes, yes, what Yu Ying said just now is exactly what I wanted to say! Yan Gongzi don't have to be embarrassed, we can all understand you! Come, everyone raise their glasses again, I hope you have a good drink tonight!"
After Xiao Yuying finished speaking, Xiao Qian spoke again to express his understanding of Yan Xiaofei. The other people at the dinner table also showed a kind smile to Yan Xiaofei, and a character crisis was about to pass.
Yan Xiaofei's heart was extremely moved, and while getting up and toasting again, he swore to everyone: "Thank you for your understanding! Actually, this book was forcibly given to me by the owner when I was shopping at a grocery store, and I took it with me out of curiosity, planning to study it again when I had time." I didn't expect to make everyone laugh, rude and rude!"
In order to express his apology, Yan Xiaofei drank all the wine in the cup. But just as he put down his glass, the little book in his sleeve fell on the dining table again.
However, this time it was not the cover facing up, but the back of the small book was revealed to everyone for the first time, and the name of the original owner Zhang Tianyu was clearly written on the back of the small book. All of a sudden, everyone's eyes in the banquet hall instantly focused on Yan Xiaofei and Zhang Tianyu. ()
