Chapter 25: When the Banquet Proceeds
The bell rang "Dang, Dang, Dang...... six times in a row, marking the official opening of Longxiao Palace, and guests who came to the dinner could start to enter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The attendants who were still busy in the hall just now quickly returned to their posts one by one after the bell rang, and soon only Alan and Yuqi were still standing there in the main hall.
Soon, a person walked in at the door, and when Yu Qi saw someone coming in, he also stopped chatting with Allen and greeted the first guest who came in.
The person who came obviously knew Yu Qi, and respectfully saluted Yu Qi, "Your Highness." ”
Then he looked at Alan a little strangely, as if he couldn't understand why he had such a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and the visitor who didn't know Allen's true identity just nodded politely to Hey.
Alan had some impression of this person, he was also a student of the Holy Spirit University, but he was a few years older than Allen, and they were not familiar with each other, but Alan also smiled at him out of politeness, which was regarded as a greeting.
Yu Qi said a few words of welcome to him, then waved a few waiters to let them stand at the door to greet the guests, but he pulled Alan and ran to a corner of the main hall.
Seeing Allen's puzzled face, Yu Qi rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, "I'm really not used to this kind of scene, I really don't know what to do." ”
Alan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, maybe this is an artist, who often lives in his own world and becomes not good at dealing with others.
In addition to the waiters, there were only three people in the main hall, Yu Qi and Alan hid in the corner, so that the senior of the Holy Spirit University was also a little dazed, took a glass of wine in his hand, and stood quietly next to the table.
The silence between the three of them did not last long, and after a while, the guests who had been invited to attend Princess Yulong's coming-of-age ceremony entered one after another, and most of the dignitaries and nobles were acquaintances, and they all found acquaintances to talk, making the originally quiet hall suddenly become lively.
The waiters also shuttled through the crowd at the right time, handing drinks to the guests, and with the increasing number of young guests, the atmosphere in the hall became more lively and full of youthful atmosphere.
Alan and Yuqi were still standing in the corner of the main hall, among the guests, Alan saw many familiar figures, it seemed that none of the noble children of the Holy Spirit University let go of this opportunity tonight.
It's normal to think about it, even if they can't win the favor of Princess Yulong, but the dinner party is a good place to expand communication, and there is no reason not to come, or even not to come to the party, which is an offending move.
However, most people still have some expectations in their hearts, and Yulong has not accepted Toruń's pursuit, which means that everyone is still standing on the same starting line, and everyone has the opportunity to become the first prince of the Shenlong Empire in the future.
Therefore, all the young people present tonight will dress up brightly and wait for the arrival of Princess Yulong.
However, Alan knows that everyone's expectations will be doomed to be disappointed, and he is destined to become a super shield, attracting the hatred of all the young nobles in the audience, thinking about it, it feels a little loveless, the nobles present are all over the four empires, if it weren't for their foundation in the Holy See, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to move an inch in the future.
But even so, when he thought of the various troubles he might face in the future, Alan really wanted to leave, but as a man, he promised other people's things, and he gritted his teeth to complete it.
"Prince Cannon has arrived. Suddenly there was a loud roar at the door, startling everyone, and with this sound, an old man with a tiger's back strode into the hall.
Prince Cannon, also known as the Martial King by the world, when Allen asked Edward IV about martial arts, Edward IV said that this Martial King can be regarded as the number one master in the mainland, and now he finally sees the real person, so Alan can't help but take a few more looks.
Unexpectedly, it was such a small movement that attracted Cannon's attention, he turned his head to look at Allen, there seemed to be two rays of light in his eyes, and he immediately found the person who was staring at him in the crowd.
However, when he saw Yu Qi beside Allen, he suddenly restrained the fierceness in his eyes and strode towards the corner.
"Hahahaha, Yuqi, you kid, are finally willing to come back!"
Yu Qi was a little helpless, and he just wanted to slip away quickly, but the reality was impossible to give him a chance to do so, Cannon had already come to the two of them, grabbed Yu Qi's shoulder, and squeezed it a few times.
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts. ”
"Really, it's still so weak. Cannon muttered, then let go of his hand and looked at Alan again, "This young man is very raw, is it ......"
Before Alan could answer, Yu Qi had already taken the lead, "Uncle Cannon, this is Allen, from the Talos Empire. With that, he leaned into Cannon's ear again.
"What's the matter, the mysteries of God...... Oh, that's it!"
At this time, Alan felt that Cannon's vision of himself had completely changed, revealing the meaning of scrutiny everywhere, and he thought that Yuqi would not say something that should not be said again.
In the next second, Cannon reached out and grabbed Allen's shoulder, which seemed to be just an ordinary action when the elders greeted the juniors, but Allen had a little warning in his heart, and hurriedly hid back.
Unexpectedly, Cannon's hand seemed to exceed the limits of the human body, and it even stretched a few points, and continued to attack Allen's shoulder without any difference.
Although he knew in his heart that it was impossible for Cannon to do anything to himself in such a public, the tension in his heart prompted Alan to use his divine power, and the power that could not be seen by outsiders rushed out of Allen's shoulder, colliding with Cannon's hand in the air, and Alan also took this opportunity to take a few steps back, and his back was almost leaning against the wall of the main hall.
But this was enough, Cannon, who had been blocked for a moment, naturally did not step forward to pursue, he withdrew his thick and powerful hand, and glanced at Alan with deep meaning.
"Young man, although you can only hide, it's already very good. ”
After speaking, he said to Yu Qi: "Since you are back, don't be in a hurry to leave, come and practice martial arts with me tomorrow!"
Yu Qi's face was full of reluctance after hearing this, but he didn't dare to openly refuse Cannon, so he had to reply weakly: "Got it." ”
After Cannon left, Alan spotted Ves, who seemed to have arrived when he had just confronted Cannon.
Also present at this time was Prince Toruń, who was now chatting with several other nobles of the Crumb Empire, but his mind was certainly not on this side, because Alan had noticed that Toren had been looking at the stairs at the end of the hall several times, and if he guessed correctly, Yulong would be out of there later.
