The guests gradually arrived, and the manor at this time was full of laughter and music.

When Gong Bing was about to vomit himself, the birthday party was late.

I saw that the lights in the hall gradually went out, and a luxurious and elegant middle-aged lady took Alice's hand and walked onto the stage in the center of the hall.

The face is seven or eight points similar to Alice, probably because of proper maintenance, she looks younger and more beautiful than she actually is, presumably Alice's mother.

In Gong Bing's eyes, **** first thanked all the guests present, and then said some lackluster words with Alice.

Ordinary guests give gifts to the servant in charge as early as the time they enter the door, and at this time it is relatively close friends and family members or some high-status people who start to offer gifts on stage.

Of course, Gong Bing's gift was given out when he entered the door, and the gift was bought with tonight's dress, and he didn't know anything about buying gifts, so he listened to Kohler's suggestion and bought a small bottle of perfume, which was just an ordinary brand, and it was also in line with his identity as a student.

At this time, a tall young man with a well-cut suit and the same golden medium and long hair appeared, exuding an air of confidence, and was the first to walk up to the stage with a small box of gifts, which seemed to be a rich child with a large background.

The gift is a glorious glazed, beautiful statue of Baoyu, reflecting dreamy colors and luster under the light, which seems to come from the distant Dongzhou, and comes from the hands of famous artists, as soon as it is displayed, it arouses the exclamation of the guests present.

Alice showed her composure and smiled just the right amount to thank the young man.

Then some guests came to the stage one after another to give gifts, including Korle, Koller's gift was a gemstone necklace, Gong Bing didn't see anything special, but it was obviously not a cheap product, but in the middle of the gifts given on stage, it was a little low-key.

After the gift-giving session was over and Alice had thanked her, the birthday party resumed with her announcement, the food and the long tables were set aside, a large open space was cleared in the center of the hall, music was played, and the guests began to dance joyfully.

The banquet was very lively, the guests were all smiling, dancing, immersed in the joyful dance party, but Gong Bing felt a little bored, just sitting in the corner, drinking drinks, while listening to music to kill time, James left halfway and came back, probably there was no one to know and talk to, so James was still sitting next to Gong Bing, drinking all the time, glass after glass, pouring one bottle, immediately asked the waiter to take another bottle, and kept changing the brand.

According to his words, wine has to be drunk with different flavors to make it more flavorful, and Gong Bing thinks that this is just his talk, because he always stares at the most expensive wines, and does not care about the slightly cheaper ones at all.

Just when Gong Bing had nothing to do and felt that he was going to sit until the end of the banquet, a servant walked up to him.

"Mr. Taylor, Miss Alice and Son Nate would like to ask you to come over." As he spoke, the servant turned to the side and drew his hand backwards.

Following the direction of the maid's finger, Gong Bing squinted his eyes and saw that Alice was nodding at him, while Kohler smiled and waved his hand at him.

Walking around the guests back and forth, Gong Bing came to them.

In addition to Alice and Koller, there are two other men standing beside Alice.

The young man who had just come to the stage to present his gift was standing next to Alice at this time, and the two were very close and seemed to be quite close, but Gong Bing noticed Alice's attitude of being close to each other, and the relationship between the two did not seem to be as good as it seemed.

The other is an old acquaintance, it is the classmate Scola who has been pursuing Alice, but the other party does not seem to be in a good mood at the moment, with a dark face, and his eyes are always secretly aimed at the young man.

"Wrightin, this is Gabriel as I was talking about. Taylor, who is the younger brother of Duke Nates's daughter's friend. Seeing Gong Bing coming, Alice immediately smiled and introduced to the young man beside her: "I also just heard from Niters Gongzi that I learned that Gabriel is now learning martial arts in the Luo Clan Martial Arts Hall, and he is a real inner disciple, so I think you will have some common topics." ”

"Greentown Luowu?" The man named Litein smiled with a faint arrogance, took a step forward, and stretched out his hand to Gong Bing: "Hello, I'm Litein. Burckhardt, from the Lutsta province of the Heroic Warriors. ”

Wright was in his early twenties, one or two years older than Körler, about one meter eight or five or six tall, even if he was wearing a suit, he could see the other party's muscular figure, and when he got closer, he sensed a sharp momentum.

is also a martial artist, Gong Bing can probably feel it, the other party has a martial artist's sharpness, and Gong Bing, who is also a martial artist, is vaguely aware of it.

"Hello, I'm Gabriel. Taylor, Green Town Luowu. Although he didn't know anything about the Heroic Martial Arts Society at all, Gong Bing still replied politely.

"Although Luo Wu is a small sect, your curator is an admirable senior. Luo Xiaohu's demeanor in the previous martial arts competitions also impressed me, but unfortunately the problem of age, I missed the opportunity to ask for advice, although I have a relationship with each other, but there is never a suitable opportunity to learn and exchange. Wright said with regret on his face.

"You two know each other?"

"That's right, I've met a few times in the past because of coincidence, but unfortunately I haven't had much contact, Luo Xiaohu may not recognize me, but who in the secret martial arts world of Tutlan doesn't know Luo Wu's tiger." Wright smiled.

"The new martial arts competition is about to start again, will Mr. Taylor also participate?"

Gong Bing nodded, although Luo Xiaohu said that he would only be allowed to sign up until he reached the middle stage of martial arts, he did not doubt that he would be able to meet the standard before this.

"Then we're going to have to talk to each other more."

Wright is polite and gives people the feeling of Mu Chunfeng, only when talking about secret martial arts does he highlight the side of being a martial artist, perhaps because of his personality and family background, the other party will always have a faint arrogance, even when talking about the curator and Luo Xiaohu, there is not much awe.

"Gabriel, is it? I heard that you and Alice are still in the same class. "From the beginning, Gong Bing and Wright were talking about secret martial arts, and Scola couldn't interject at all, and now that they have finally finished the topic, he has a chance to speak.

"That's right, Gabriel and I have been in the same class since first grade." Alice smiled and said, "And Gabriel, thank you for the perfume, I like it." ”

Gong Bing glanced at Alice with some surprise, she didn't expect the gift she had just given, Alice already knew what it was, she received a lot of gifts tonight, at least they could fill a room.

Hearing the little closeness revealed in Alice's tone, Scola's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, his eyes froze, looked at Gong Bing, and tried his best to show a friendly smile: "I didn't expect you two to have such a good relationship, speaking of which, we are still in the same class, although we are in different classes, we are also alumni, so we will have to communicate more in the school in the future, Gabriel." ”

Scola said it very kindly, but that tone didn't sound very friendly to Gong Bing's ears, and besides, he and Scola were half enemies in the first place, and they didn't treat him very well now.

So for Scola's words, Gong Bing just glanced at him and didn't bother to respond.

Seeing Gong Bing's attitude, the uninformed people around him were a little stunned, but no one said anything if it was none of his business, and Scola's face was even more ugly, but he snorted quietly when Alice was still beside him, just remembering the other party in his heart.

Gong Bing is not familiar with them after all.,So chatting and chatting.,Everyone's topic slowly shifted back to tonight's protagonist Alice.。。

Gong Bing casually found a reason, and after saying hello, he was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly other guests passed by behind him, Gong Bing subconsciously retreated and avoided it, and accidentally touched each other back to back with Alice, as a result, Gong Bing felt a faint cool feeling coming from his back.

A spirit, Gong Bing instantly felt it, this is the same feeling as the charm on Lancer's body before.

Gong Bing immediately stopped leaving, and stood next to Alice, pretending to be listening to their chat.

Wright and Scola glanced at him, a little puzzled by his departure and return, but they didn't ask.

Ignoring other people's eyes, Gong Bing casually took a drink from the waiter next to him, stood quietly aside, and after paying attention to sensing and observing, his eyes fell on the necklace that Alice was wearing.
