Lu Xiao was chatting with Shui Ling'er in the room, when they suddenly heard a rhythmic knock on the door, and the weight of the knock was just right, which made Lu Xiao faintly feel that the guests outside the door had a good bearing and were very human.

Lu Xiao opened the door, but saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old standing outside the door, dressed in a dignified and elegant royal guard uniform, with a handsome appearance and a calm demeanor, standing respectfully and straightly one step away from the door.

The young man bowed slightly to Lu Xiao very politely, handed over a golden invitation letter with both hands, and then whispered: "Your Excellency, Baron, I am the bodyguard of His Royal Highness Yaxin, and I am specially sent by His Highness to invite Baron Lu Xiao to the Ancient Wind Earl's Mansion for a banquet. ”

"Yes, I'll be there on time. Lu Xiao took the invitation letter from the young man's hand and replied lightly.

"Then there is His Excellency Baron Law, and His Highness Yasin will be extremely happy. The young man politely saluted Lu Xiao and left.

Returning to Shui Ling'er's side, Lu Xiao opened the invitation letter, and saw a few lines of very vigorous and free handwriting transcribed on it: Brother Lu Xiao, see the words as your face! At three o'clock tonight, please go to the main hall of the Earl Gufeng's Mansion, the president of the Hunter Guild, to attend the banquet, and to receive the wind and dust for you, and to discuss with the virtuous brother about other important matters, I hereby inform you.

At the end of the invitation, it was the autograph of His Royal Highness Yassin.

What should come will always come, Lu Xiao secretly thought about Ya Xin's intentions, and involuntarily stroked the baron badge on his chest, which was a treasure.

For this baron badge, Lu Xiao has long cherished it very much, although he only wore it for two days, but the huge benefits obtained from it are enough for him to turn the tide and settle the crisis of his life.

Without the assistance of this baron insignia, how could Lu Xiao quickly make up for the huge defect of slow speed, and continuously dodge the fatal blow of the double rhino bull's round raids.

Without the powerful purifying effect of this baron insignia, how could Lu Xiao suppress the violent and abnormal soul impact of the Demon Soul Spirit, and turn defeat into victory in an unbelievable way, and successfully refine the powerful Demon Soul Soul with difficulty.

And now, the baronial badge, which had only been worn for two days, was about to be returned to its original owner.

If you want to collect money from people, you must eliminate disasters for others, Shui Ling'er's former warning immediately resounded in Lu Xiao's ears, in order to realize the dream in his heart without hindrance, in order to be able to soar freely in the sky, and go to the long-awaited Netherworld Forest, it seems that he can only endure the pain and cut his love.

In the evening, it was already three minutes past the unitary hour, and Lu Xiao arrived late at the Gufeng Earl's Mansion.

Of course, he was deliberately late, since he had already decided to return the baronial badge, he still made a subtle reminder to His Royal Highness Yaxin in advance, which was also a step that Lu Xiao had already planned in his heart.

The ancient Earl's Palace, built in a simple and magnificent way, and outside the slightly huge lintel, there stood two handsome young hunters, both of whom wore hunter-specific medals made of light blue intermediate magic crystals on their chests, and they didn't look like ordinary people.

Lu Xiao handed the invitation to one of them, and while the hunter took it, he glanced at Lu Xiao's left chest, intentionally or unintentionally, and immediately exclaimed, "You are Baron Lu Xiao! His Royal Highness Yaxin and Earl Gu Feng have been waiting for a long time. ”

When Lu Xiao entered the hospitality hall in the Earl's Mansion under the guidance of the people in the mansion, he found that the hall was already full of friends, and on the chair in the right position, the young man who had worn a badge for himself was smiling and greeting something with the ancient earl who accompanied him on the side, but in the entire hall, only these two were chatting softly, and the rest of the guests were all sitting upright, silent.

Lu Xiao had just walked into the door of the hall, Ya Xin's deep and soft gaze immediately moved to the slightly uninhibited face of the young man, and a trace of loving reproach seemed to flash in his smiling eyes, but it was only fleeting.

Looking at the lonely boy who walked alone, Yasin smiled and slowly raised his hands sideways, and gently patted each other a few times.

All the guests in the hall immediately followed suit, and for a while, there was a continuous and huge applause in the room.

With a rather grand applause, Lu Xiao walked straight to Ya Xin's right hand, the only free huge chair, silently waiting for the applause to gradually subside, and then bowed slightly to Ya Xin and said, "I'm sorry Your Highness, I'm very sorry, I'm late!"

Ya Xin just smiled calmly, deliberately raised the tip of his right finger, bowed slightly to Lu Xiao continuously, motioned for him to sit down, and then smiled and glanced at everyone for a moment, the majesty contained an extremely generous and majestic voice, which instantly penetrated the entire hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that this virtuous brother of mine still understands etiquette, and knowing that his occasional absurd late arrival is also an embarrassing mistake that should not be made!"

Airplanes......

A low laugh suddenly sounded in the hall, making this slightly cramped atmosphere disappear into nothingness.

The laughter gradually stopped, and Yasin's witty and rich alto sounded loudly again: "Ladies and gentlemen, although this virtuous brother of mine is a quarter of an hour late, in this world, almost all heroes have learned to be late for a grand banquet!"

As soon as Yasin's words fell, the hall erupted in laughter again, and the atmosphere of the banquet became extremely relaxed for a while.

Earl Gu Feng, who was sitting on the left hand position, bowed to Ya Xin for a while, then nodded slightly and stood up, and said loudly: "Guests, let everyone wait for a long time, today's old man is the east, especially for His Royal Highness Ya Xin, to pick up the wind and wash the dust, gossip less, now the banquet begins!"

After the ancient style finished speaking, he slapped his hands loudly twice in front of him, and the people in the house had already come out, and for a while, the delicacies of the mountains and seas were all over the table.

"Baron Lu Xiao, what kind of wine does Your Excellency like to drink, please inform the old man, and I will instruct my subordinates to go and prepare. Earl Gu Feng smiled kindly and said kindly to Lu Xiao.

For this calm old man, Lu Xiao couldn't help but feel a trace of nameless respect from the bottom of his heart, and he immediately waved his hand and said to Earl Gufeng: "Old man Gufeng, you are too polite, I never drink alcohol, I'm sorry." ”

"Uncle Gufeng, this virtuous brother of mine usually doesn't drink at all, for fear that drinking will make a big mistake, this is a habit he usually develops, let him go!" Yasin said with a smile.

"Then listen to it!" said Gufeng kindly, just filling Yasin's glass.

After three rounds of drinking, Earl Gufeng got up and told Ya Xin that he was going to entertain the other guests, and Lu Xiao could finally face His Royal Highness Ya Xin alone.

"Lu Xiao, I can feel that your mood seems to be a little cramped and uneasy, is it because of me?" Ya Xin said with a smile as he faced Lu Xiao, who had been slightly silent.

"Oh! I feel like the badge on my chest is so heavy, it's breathless. Lu Xiao pointed to his left chest without answering.

"Hahaha......" Yassin let out a series of heroic laughs.

"Lu Xiao, I really can't imagine that it is this problem that bothers you. Ya Xin's hearty laughter temporarily relieved Lu Xiao's tense nerves.

"Well, I'm afraid that my ability is not enough, and I won't be able to repay His Highness for such a kind love. Lu Xiao replied to Ya Xin's inquiry with a little caution.

"Hehe! It seems that this idea of being useless is still quite terrifying, Brother Lu Xiaoxian, you are too worried, in the eyes of others, this badge may be a treasure that cannot be obtained by dreams, but in front of me, it is barely a small object, and it cannot be compared with the formal meeting ceremony, I advise you not to take it to heart, otherwise such gains and losses will not disgrace your heroic spirit that is different from ordinary people!"

Ya Xin raised his arm lovingly and patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder.

In the face of such a bold His Royal Highness Yaxin, Lu Xiao unexpectedly rose a very intimate warm current from the bottom of his heart, and he had to admit that the young man in front of him did have a huge charm that was different from ordinary people.
