Chapter 66: The Undercurrent is surging
"Goodbye, my little maid. Dome Butterfly playfully waved her hand at Ling Tian, her beautiful eyes full of smile and satisfaction. Hearing this, Ling Tian, who had just walked to the door, was so frightened that he stumbled and glanced at the Qiong Butterfly fiercely, and Ling Tian left in the guard's puzzled eyes.
As soon as Ling Tian left, the Qiong Butterfly also quieted down, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, as if he was talking to himself, and said, "This is not the last time we will meet, we will meet again sooner or later...... Hopefully, you'll be able to get stronger by that time."
......
As night fell, a luxurious carriage drove down the streets of Blood Alliance City, pulled by four tall white horses, and the body was so large that even a dozen people might not feel crowded at all.
The driver was a young girl dressed as a maid, and his posture was very skillful, and it was clear that this was not the first time he had done such a thing. This man was none other than Gore. "Really, why should I drive it. Gore pursed his lips in dissatisfaction,
In the car, Ayris fidgeted and looked at her long dress as white as snow, which was different from the one she usually wears, and was specially tailored for Ayris. Not to mention what the material of this seemingly ordinary long skirt is, there are three or four pieces of various fixtures in the long skirt alone.
Ayris also put on with the help of Currotia, who is well-versed in the common sense of the upper class, but despite this, it still took half an hour for Ayria to stop feeling awkward. But it was precisely because of such a cumbersome dress that Airis was able to remain as quiet as she is now.
Airis looked at Currotia, who was napping on the side, and begged pitifully, "Why do I wear such sinful clothes, sister, can I change it back?" Because she was going to a banquet, Currotia did not wear pajamas, dressing gowns and the like, and mop the floor in a violet dress, and her long purple hair was casually put on her chest, noble and elegant.
Hearing Ayris's words, Kurotia stretched her body and outlined a full curve, she naturally knew what Airis meant by returning it. Kurotia rubbed her temples helplessly and said, "You mean the black and red dress?"
Airis nodded hurriedly, the expression on her face became more sincere, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes. Currotia ignored Ayris's request and said, "That's impossible, you don't know the temper of the eldest sister, if you really change back, I advise you to give up this idea." By the way, the eldest sister seems to have burned the dress. ”
A trace of anger flashed on Airis's face when she heard this, and she jumped up subconsciously, but she didn't want her head to touch the roof of the car. With tears in his eyes, he rubbed his head aggrievedly, "That's people's favorite set of clothes, how can you say that you can burn it." Kurotia shrugged, leaned slightly, and looked at Ling Tiandao, who was closing his eyes without saying a word, "Ling Tian, do you think my clothes look good?"
Ling Tian opened his eyes and looked at Currotia who was less than a foot away from him, Ling Tian could even faintly smell her body fragrance. A trace of trance flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and Ling Tian said sincerely, "It's beautiful." It's just that I feel that if you add a little bit of charm, it might make your beauty even more vivid. Kurotia's eyes lit up and she said, "Really, if it's really beautiful, I'll give it to you." ”
Ling Tian had told Currotia about wearing women's clothes, and he never thought that Curlotia, who had always been calm and elegant, would make such a joke. Smiling awkwardly, Ling Tian didn't say anything. Ling Tian was also dressed up tonight, and his usually random and scattered hair was repaired and turned into short-haired bangs, a little more masculine and a little less feminine. A silver-white power suit is worn on the body to look more straight, and the handsome and soft face is also modified to become more angular.
Shaking the short knife in his hand, Ling Tian asked suspiciously, "Are you allowed to bring a knife for a while?" Kurotia shook her head and said, "Of course not, you still need to check it when you go in." ”
Just when Ling Tian wanted to ask something more, Gore's slightly dissatisfied voice came from outside the car, "Miss, we have arrived." ”
The curtain of the car was lifted, and Ling Tian jumped out of the car first according to the etiquette given to him by Kurotiya, and then stretched out his right hand to Kurotia in the car. Currodia also got out of the car with Ling Tian's support, but Airis did not do this, and jumped directly regardless of etiquette, which not only attracted the side eyes of others, but also attracted Currotia's dissatisfaction.
After Gore dared the carriage to the side, he stood silently behind Ling Tian, although she seemed a little unreliable many times, but at this critical moment, Gore still knew the trade-off. Originally, Ling Tian thought so, but soon, Gore leaked out his true nature.
Gently grabbing the corner of Ling Tian's clothes, Gore leaned over to Ling Tian's ear and said coldly, "You should be glad that you didn't do anything to the second miss in the car just now." Hearing this, Ling Tian's body stiffened, and he subconsciously looked at Gore next to him, and found that she was also looking at him with a smile. There was no smile in her eyes, Ling Tian smiled wryly, and quickened her pace to keep up with Currodia in front.
The banquet was held in a side hall in the palace. There was an old man dressed as a butler standing at the door, smiling and receiving invitations. Kurotia whispered, "He is a diehard loyalist of the Nightmare Royal Family, and his strength is no less than that of Gore, so don't make enemies with him unless you have to." Ling Tian glanced at the somewhat rickety old man with a little surprise, nodded and said, "I'll pay attention." ”
It wasn't long before it was Ling Tian's turn to hand over the invitation, and after seeing that it was the sign of Twilight Manor, the old man showed a somewhat mysterious smile and nodded slightly. Naturally, a few people noticed this strangeness, and walked into the side hall without changing their faces, until the old man disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is he laughing at, don't you know it's disgusting? It gives me goosebumps," Airis scratched at her arm, as if she really had goosebumps. "It seems that the eldest sister's guess is not wrong. Currotia ignored Ayris and turned to look at Gore and Ling Tian with a frown.
Ling Tian nodded and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case, I really hope that I can survive it." "Sistina has explained the significance of this banquet to several people a long time ago, to put it simply, tonight's banquet is actually a competition between the two forces to win more power, this is the purpose of tonight.
"If you're on the wrong side, it's really bad. Gore smiled disappreciatively, Currodia originally thought that everyone would become dull due to the oppressive atmosphere, but now it seems that his worries are unnecessary. Waving his hand, Currotia also said unconcernedly, "Yes, we already have a plan anyway, don't we?"
A nasty voice rang out, and you didn't have to look to know it was Rucius, "Ah! Isn't this the beautiful Miss Currotia? You look so beautiful tonight that even the brightest stars in the sky can't shine brighter than you." Saying something disgusting, Ling Tian and the three of them were unmoved, sneering at Ruchius' one-man show.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, for your appreciation, little woman is grateful, but is it really good for you and vulgar people like us to stand here? Currotia lifted the corners of her skirt and replied elegantly. In fact, Currotia's words have other meanings, the vulgar person seems to belittle his own side, but in fact it is also a disguised mockery of Rucius as a prince but idle. Defile your identity, and hide your disgust for Ruchius. To put it bluntly, Currotia meant to let Rucius go quickly, he was not welcome here.
As if he didn't notice the meaning of Currotia's words, Ruchius still had a smile on his face and said, "How can this be, being able to chat with such a beautiful young lady as you is a blessing that I have cultivated in my previous life." Kurotiya's nose was slightly wrinkled, and her heart was also a little serious. Rucius's words just now seemed casual, but in fact, they were also slick and blocked.
"Oh?! That was quite a surprise. Currotia's smile did not diminish in the slightest, and she said, "However, the little girl still needs to go to her eldest sister, and please have a chat with the other beautiful young ladies." Listening to Currotia's eviction order, Ruchius's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, but on the surface, he still maintained that aristocratic elegance and said, "In this case, please enjoy the ball at that moment." Regardless of whether Currotia agreed or not, Rucius slowly disappeared from view after performing a noble etiquette.
"Phew!!" "It's really cheap, I have to let my sister scold people." Airis took a bite and said with disdain on her face. Kurotia shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly, "Little sister, if you let the eldest sister see you like this, you will really be finished." Remembering Sistina's somewhat old-fashioned personality, Airis shuddered violently, and her eyes glanced around.
After Airis patted her unheaving chest, she breathed a sigh of relief with a relaxed face, "Whew, it's okay, the eldest sister is not here." ”
"Are you looking for me?" A voice suddenly sounded behind her without warning, and Airis stiffened and turned her head mechanically. "Seeing you like this, it shouldn't be fine. Sistina pouted.
Without answering, Airis flashed behind Currotia with a nervous face, not daring to make eye contact with Sistina.
