Chapter 57: High Profile
In Yuexuan, Cheng Xiao stood in the corner, indifferently observing the eager people with indifferent expressions.
He glanced at his side lightly, not far away, there were also more than a dozen teenagers and girls excited, but unlike the others, they did not dare to step forward, in groups of three or two, standing in the corner and cowering, like rats in the shadows.
Like Cheng Xiao, they are not the children of nobles, and they spent a lot of money to find a way to enter Yuexuan, in order to gain the favor of a certain nobleman, or to become lovers, or to choose allegiance.
The whole Yuexuan is like a microcosm of the empire, ordinary people are tied to the small nobles, the small nobles surround the big nobles, and the big nobles want to be valued by the royal family. On the surface, it is dressed in the cloak of etiquette, but on the inside it is a vanity fair, where everyone comes to pursue their own desires.
Cheng Xiao has no intention of criticizing, and he is also one of them.
He also hopes that in this place, he can have a relationship with Qianrenxue, who is disguised as Xue Qinghe.
If it was before, he might have had a headache about how to attract Qian Lingxue's attention, but now it is much easier.
Because of Ye Renxin's relationship, the two have already met each other. What Cheng Xiao needs to do now is how to appear in front of Qianrenxue again and let Qianrenxue recall the scene of the first meeting.
Yue Xuan's opening ceremony is not quite the same as the Soul Master Academy, it is a bit of aristocratic artificiality, but also has the elegance of aristocrats.
First of all, the freshman speech, as the most dazzling pearl among the freshmen, the candidate is without exception, and it is naturally Xueke, the favorite daughter of the Snow Night Emperor.
Xue Ke stood on the stage, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, lifted her skirt slightly, and bowed her head gently to everyone in the audience, her slender onion fingers were as white as jade, and her arms were bent and extended, elegant and natural, and not stiff.
Everyone in the audience applauded warmly, and the whispers were all praise for Xue Ke. The beautiful girl's chin is raised, slightly proud, and the sunlight shines through the window, hitting the silky and silky swan neck, and in front of the slightly bulging buds, the cold diamonds reflect the colorful light.
No matter how beautiful or ugly a proud princess is, she will be sought after, not to mention that the princess is still a beautiful girl?
But Cheng Xiao's gaze didn't stay on her for long, and moved to the gentle man below. Xue Qinghe was also applauding Xue Ke. Cheng Xiao's eyes flickered, and he immediately had an idea.
Next is the parent's speech, of course, it must be Xue Qinghe.
The applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic.
After the two speeches, the real highlight of the ceremony had just begun.
The prom has begun.
The nobles danced to the beautiful singing and grinded their ears and temples to accomplish their goals.
The boys win the favor of the beauties, and the girls also want to get the attention of their admirers.
Under the cover of singing, the parents frequently talked with the crown prince, just to let their family get greater benefits in the change of imperial power.
Only the young man in the corner, blankly watching the others weave through the crowd with wine glasses in hand, they seem to be bystanders, out of place with everyone in this scene, they rub the corners of their clothes, and they are nervous.
Cheng Xiao chuckled, looked away from them, and at the end of the song, he stopped the waiter passing by, and in the surprised gaze of the waiter, he took a glass of wine from the tray in his hand.
The waiter obviously did not expect this situation, although his duty was to provide food and drink for all the people present, but look at the groups of inferior teenagers in the corner, let alone take wine from the waiter's hand, even stumbling on the last sentence.
"Good wine!"
Cheng Xiao drank all the wine in the cup, put it back on the tray, and in the stunned eyes of the waiter, he strode forward and walked towards Xue Qinghe.
He's going to talk to the prince?!
Not only the waiters, but even the cowering teenagers in the corner, as well as the other nobles, noticed Cheng Xiao's actions, their eyes widened, and a look of astonishment appeared on their faces.
Where did this kid come from? So bold? People with a slightly smaller title don't dare to come to the prince, where does he get the confidence?
Da Da Da –
In between the dances, there was a strange noise in the banquet hall, and everyone did not dare to raise their voices, which was a sign of rudeness.
The noise of the whispers was not harsh, and remained at a subtle level, making the sound of the firm and heavy steps all the more striking.
Someone saw Cheng Xiao's purpose, and the gloom on his face was clearly visible.
Someone is dissatisfied.
The conversation with the prince is to line up, according to the title, merit, power, etc., everyone has a scale in their hearts, they consciously maintain the tacit rules, and the little nobles can't be ranked, not to mention this kind of guy who doesn't seem to have any background?
"Da!"
A teenager stepped sideways and blocked Cheng Xiao's way. The boy was a burly man, and the explosive power of his muscles could be vaguely felt under his dress.
He was much taller than Cheng Xiao, he never lowered his head, looked down at Cheng Xiao, his eyes were full of warnings and threats, as if to say: Go back, that kind of big man is not accessible to people like you! According to the rules, the commoners should go to the little nobles, wagging their tails and begging for alms!
Cheng Xiao raised his head, his indifferent eyes were not afraid of the young man's threat, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he pressed one hand on the side of the young man's ear and pushed it away.
"Get out of the way! Only dogs stand in the way! ”
Ooh!
In the crowd peeping around, a low exclamation erupted, obviously not expecting that this young man of unknown origin would dare to make a move against a nobleman!
Some people snickered and laughed at the scolded teenager who was a little embarrassed.
But some people feel offended, they naturally raise this anger to the class, they are also a member of the hope to stop Cheng Xiao, but someone made the first move, so there is no need for them to get down, but mentally they are already on the same front as the boy who blocked the way.
Dog? Who is he scolding?
It is their duty to maintain order, otherwise anyone will challenge the authority of the nobility, and who will take them seriously?
Anger builds up in the crowd.
The young man who was pushed away staggered to steady his figure, he didn't feel the anger of the enemies around him, but he seemed to hear the continuous ridicule.
The mood of shame and anger was expanding, he was shocked and angry, and quickly turned around and roared in a low voice: "Hey! Stop me! ”
All he responded to was a cold look, and ...... Soul power fluctuations that shut everyone up.
Cheng Xiao's casual eyes carried a hint of mockery, and the dead silence and cold aura of the Shadow King were like a sticky tentacle, gently brushing over everyone's faces, and a wave of disgust and fear burst out from the bottom of their hearts.
The anger hidden in the crowd instantly became silent.
Xue Qinghe was talking to others, suddenly, his words paused, and he suddenly looked at Cheng Xiao, at this moment, he felt the vibration of the Seraphim Martial Spirit in his body, which was a kind of anger from the Martial Soul.
The Shadow King is also known as the King of the Undead, and the Seraphim of the Light system naturally repels the breath of the undead. Especially the Shadow King is the top undead, and the Seraphim will naturally feel it, but this sense is a bit complicated, although there is anger, but there is a very subtle closeness......
The smile that had been hanging on the corner of Xue Qinghe's mouth gradually faded, and he squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Cheng Xiao's cheeks, a little familiar, as if ...... Where have I seen it.
