Chapter 25 Attracting Hatred
This is the second time that Qianye has faced a general-level powerhouse, William just made him feel alarmed but couldn't catch any clues, and Yuan Zeyu casually glanced at it, but there was a kind of penetrating power, as if all the internal organs were all visible under his gaze, and they could be seen at a glance.
Qianye bowed slightly, and then kept her eyes still.
When he got out of the car just now, he was watched by many eyes, and for the sake of safety, he had already activated the bloodline latent ability. All kinds of blood qi also seemed to be sensing the enemy, including the ability runes all rushed back to the heart. At this time, the Dawn Force in Qianye's body was full of power, and a faint golden light shrouded in his heart, which at first glance looked like a fifth lit Force node.
Yuan Zeyu nodded, and said with a little appreciation: "Very good young man." The foundation is quite solid, which is rare. Is he?"
Kiki smiled lightly, quietly grabbed Qianye's arm, and half of her body was pasted, saying, "This is Qianye, my newly accepted assistant and adjutant." β
Yuan Zeyu showed a hint of discoloration, but immediately dispersed, and said with a smile: "Then come in! Now that you have arrived, the dinner party can begin." There are many people in it who have come from other big cities, all to see the peerless beauty of Kiki's niece!"
Qiqi let go of Qianye's arm with a smile, gave him a smile of unknown meaning, and then walked to Yuan Zeyu's side gracefully, and the two walked into the banquet hall together. At tonight's banquet, Yuan Zeyu is the host, and Qiqi is the guest of honor.
Qianye was a few steps behind, and walked in the middle of the group of people who had been hugging Yuan Zeyu out before, thinking about the meaning of Qiqi's strange smile. Immediately, he keenly sensed the abnormality, and the eyes of those around him who looked at him suddenly became more murderous and hostile.
Well, maybe that's what Kiki's smile means. Qianye hasn't figured out how Kiki did it, but she has to admit that the first stage of tonight's mission, which this eldest lady confessed, to attract hatred, has been successfully achieved.
Qianye didn't know what to do, the Yin family was present, and it was at the social banquet held especially for Qiqi, her intimate act of holding Qianye, together with the introduction behind, was actually announcing that Qianye was her official lover in disguise. As a result, Qianye immediately became the target of the young people attending the meeting.
The main banquet hall of the Lord's Mansion is equally imposing, with an all-metal frame structure underneath the stone and wood decorations. The 20-meter-high, multi-square-meter Grand Ballroom is lit up brightly, and several bands are playing cheerful and melodious music in the corridors on both sides. Long tables flanked by a dazzling array of fine food, and dozens of waiters shuttled back and forth to serve a drink or a plated meal.
Buffet-style banquets originated from the Dark Race, and were especially loved by the Bloodline. Later, this uninhibited, free and casual dining method was gradually accepted by the imperial family and aristocracy, and gradually became popular, and now it has become the mainstream banquet form for informal but relatively grand occasions.
When Kiki arrived, the banquet officially began. Qiqi and Yuan Zeyu went up to the second floor, where there was a small hall and could overlook most of the corners below through the guardrail. The people who can stand here are all really prominent figures.
As an assistant and adjutant, Qianye is naturally not qualified to go up to the second floor, so he can only stay in the hall. Soon someone came up to talk, and in the blink of an eye, there was a circle of people around Qianye.
Since Kiki has determined the content of tonight's task to be an appearance, Qianye has fully demonstrated the results of her morning training, always maintaining an elegant demeanor, socializing with the people who come to talk, neither intimate nor alienated, neither humble nor arrogant.
After a while, some people realized that what Qianye said was all nonsense, and did not reveal any useful information at all. After talking for a long time, he didn't even know who he might be and how he knew Qiqi. In this way, whether it is curious about Qianye's identity, or people who come to talk to him with malicious intentions, they think he is unfathomable.
Talking nonsense in every sentence is also a skill, and it is an indispensable skill for aristocrats and politicians.
People began to speculate that the enviable, jealous and hateful boy in front of them could really be from a family, otherwise how could he use this ability so handy?
Such rumors are always the most popular topic of discussion at every banquet, but the family and friends of one of the parties may not be so pleasant. Soon, several people in the crowd changed their faces.
On the second floor, Qiqi and Yuan Zeyu waved off the attendants and were chatting seemingly casually.
After chatting about some of the major activities of the Yin family's own family that month, Yuan Zeyu changed his words and said tactfully: "It's not as safe here as it seems. It seems that some have already arrived. β
Kiki's gaze kept falling on Qianye, and after listening to the words of the city lord, she said casually: "What's that?
Yuan Zeyu frowned and said, "It's better for you to be careful." This time, the stakes are too great, and many people want to intervene. Whether something happens to you or the assessment results are bad, it's no joke. β
Qiqi still said lightly: "Don't worry, Uncle Yuan." Whether it's a master, an army, a piece of equipment, or a war record, as long as you spend money, it's not as much as you want?"
This is Qiqi's usual argument, but Yuan Zeyu, who is a general-level powerhouse, doesn't like to listen to it, and can't help but say: "It's not so easy to buy a master." β
"That's just not enough. Kiki said with a smile.
Yuan Zeyu knew Qiqi's temper and personality well, and didn't want to continue on this topic, so he also turned his gaze to Qianye below and said, "Who is this young man?"
Kiki said a little lazily, "Lover." β
Yuan Zeyu couldn't help but be taken aback: "It's really a lover?"
"Is that fake?"
"How are you going to explain to the clan? You have a marriage contract, and acting in such a high-profile manner will not only lose the face of the Gu family. β
Qiqi sneered: "A little scholar, where does he get so much face? If he feels embarrassed, he will withdraw from the marriage!
The city lord's eyebrows tightened: "If that's the case, your reputation"
"As long as you have money and strength, what is fame?"
A cold voice suddenly interjected from the side: "Money can't buy everything!"
Kiki turned her head slowly, and saw a tall young girl in the hallway at the entrance of the small hall. She is very beautiful, and her cold and arrogant temperament makes her stand out among many aristocratic girls. Even standing next to Kiki is not inferior.
This is the opinion of most young nobles in the circle, in fact, Kiki is slightly better in terms of appearance and figure, but she is too strong, and she has all kinds of bohemian behavior, for the young man who is hot-blooded and proud, she will always subconsciously lower her line.
Qiqi smiled playfully and said, "Ye Mulan, these words shouldn't come out of your mouth. β
This girl's dress is very interesting, she is also wearing a retro style, but it is the color of the scholar's clothes, the top is tight-fitting and fitted, and the underneath is a danbi gauze patterned skirt. But the clothing is extraordinary, all of them are dark lines, only reflecting the sparkling light blue light lines when walking, low-key luxury. This is not something that ordinary scholars can afford.
Seeing that she dared to go up to the second floor, she didn't flinch in front of Qiqi, and even made provocative remarks, and there was the Xichang City Lord sitting next to her, obviously the identity of this girl was not simple.
The girl said coldly: "Yin Qiqi, you don't think that because of the Yin family behind you, everyone will stutter and talk to you, right?"
Kiki shrugged her shoulders and smiled and said, "Of course not, especially a genius girl like you." Especially a genius girl who has a marriage contract with the Song family. Scholars!"
Anger flashed on Ye Mulan's face: "What does this have to do with the Shi clan?"
"Originally, it didn't matter, but some people cling to the marriage contract, so it has a lot to do with it. Especially some talented girls. Kiki bit the word genius very hard this time.
Ye Mulan's coldness was swept away proudly, and her fair face flushed, but it was obviously not because of shyness. She suppressed her anger and said coldly: "You make it clear, what does it mean to hold on to the marriage contract? The marriage contract between me and Zining has been set a long time ago, and it is not what I am willing to want." β
"If you don't want to, then quit it!" Kiki laughed with crooked eyebrows, and suddenly looked amazing.
Ye Mulan couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted: "Yin Qiqi!"
Qiqi's face sank, her smile disappeared completely, and she said coldly: "My name is also what you can call? Who agreed to you coming up! Ye Mulan, as long as you don't marry into the Song family for a day, you will be a scholar for a day! If you forget the laws of the empire, I don't mind sending you to the gendarmerie prison to reflect for a few days, so that you can know the price of offending the high-grade family!"
Ye Mulan pointed at Yin Qiqi, her whole body trembled with anger, and she couldn't even speak: "You" Her eyes swept over Yuan Zeyu who was sitting next to her, and the city lord of Xichang looked kind, even with a slight smile, as if he was just watching the two juniors arguing.
In the end, Ye Mulan said hatefully: "The Yin family can't cover the sky with one hand, this identity won't make you proud forever!"
"Then we have to wait until you marry into the Song family!" Qiqi said unceremoniously.
The beautiful girl who has transformed from a glacier to a volcano in just a few minutes stomps her feet, turns around and leaves.
Yuan Zeyu just shook his head and sighed.
Kiki smiled disappreciatively and said, "She still thinks that I can really only rely on the Yin family to do something?" but even if she is smart, I will do it if I say more." β
Yuan Zeyu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
The surnames Ye and Gu both originate from Yuelu, especially the branch where Ye Mulan and Gu Liyu are located, the clan has been good friends for generations, and there is a friendship between the two of them, and the two of them are still cousins and sisters, and they have a deep blood relationship. Now that Qiqi has openly brought her lover to the market, and has entered this kind of formal occasion, Ye Mulan, who has never been accustomed to Qiqi, naturally wants to find an opportunity to make trouble.
Yuan Zeyu also pinched a handful of sweat when he saw the two of them arguing, Qiqi was actually very impatient just now, if Ye Mulan said a few more words, especially on topics such as lovers, Qiqi would definitely go up with a slap. At that time, big and small troubles must have followed.
Although Ye Mulan was born in the scholar family, she has a marriage contract with the seventh son of the Song family, and if she marries into the Song family in the future, her identity will be different. I heard that Song Zining is still quite satisfied with this fiancΓ©e, Ye Mulan has begun to officially participate in some of his private activities, and Song Zining is quite permissive of some of her actions openly and secretly.
Even if Yin Qiqi's mother was also born in the Song family, Song Zining is the heir of the Song Dynasty's generation, even if he is only in the middle of the current ranking, he is deeply loved by the ancestors of the Song family, and his status is not comparable to Yin Qiqi, who has not yet won the position of the head of the family. Moreover, Yuan Zeyu had heard of it even if he was far away in the Eternal Night Continent, and there was an old grudge between Yin Qiqi and Song Zining.
The matter between these juniors is like a mess, and Yuan Zeyu, who is used to riding a thousand on the battlefield, only feels that he has no way to start, and he doesn't know how to mediate. And with his identity, it's better to stay out of the way.
At this time, Qiqi's gaze fell on Qianye again, and said lightly: "Uncle Yuan, this kid is good at everything, but his personality is a little soft, it would be better if he was like me more."
She hadn't finished her sentence when there was a sudden change below. Qianye smashed a fist in the face of a noble young man, knocking the other party flying more than ten meters, slamming it on the wall, and then slowly sliding down, unable to stand up for a while.
