"Don't overthink it, it's not the time yet. Another woman's voice interrupted Ye Ling's thoughts, but this time it was Elizabeth, the Grand Duchess obviously witnessed the scene of Ye Ling and Princess Yeyue talking just now, and temporarily got rid of the other guests to persuade her.

"I know, don't worry, Grand Duke Elizabeth!" Ye Ling had already regained his indifference and responded calmly.

Hearing his tone, Elizabeth knew that Ye Ling was not abnormal, and said with her head bowed: "That's good, maybe there is still a long way to go, during this period, don't be depressed, when it's time to enjoy, then enjoy it to the fullest, for example, today, you have advanced a lot, this is already closer to the goal, a big step, it should be worth celebrating, isn't it?" Speaking of this, Elizabeth casually took two glasses of red wine from the waiter beside her, and handed one of them to Ye Ling: "Cheers!"

Ye Ling touched him, and a smile finally bloomed on his face: "Cheers!"

"Oh, by the way, you should know that according to the traditional rules, as long as you can reach the top 16 in the youth group, you will definitely be able to get a knighthood, so now you should be a quasi-nobleman......" Elizabeth changed her tone: " Although Liliang can help you become a member of the upper class, however, if you want to achieve a higher status and status in the Vampire Dynasty, a banquet like this is essential, if you are always out of place in social situations, it will hinder your future, therefore, Yi Lin, whether you like it or not, try to adapt to it, don't hide in this corner where no one notices, try to attract more eyeballs, I think you will be able to do it!"

Elizabeth is right, this is a vampire shijie, people without banquets and parties are absolutely very outliers and unwelcome, and if I want to be on the throne here, I need to get more people's support. Having made up his mind, Ye Ling touched his nose: "Okay, then I'll give it a try, Grand Duke Elizabeth, please introduce me to these VIPs." ”

"Okay, no problem!" The two walked into the crowd side by side, Elizabeth began to give Ye Ling all the guests one by one, she only said that although she was talented, she was born in a very silky manner, so she would be at a loss in this kind of high-end banquet, and she could also say something inappropriate, so she could give him a round at any time.

But she obviously guessed wrong, and the female grand duke soon found that when Ye Ling entered the crowd, she changed her personality almost immediately, and she didn't show the slightest embarrassment at all, and she dealt with everyone she saw with ease, not arrogant, not arrogant, not humble, not shocked, and very decent.

For each different guest, his scale is also not much, a lot, just right, this is especially rare, you must know that the same nobles, there are also different types, such as some nobles are hearty and open-minded, some nobles are conservative and reserved, the content of the two is interested in and the attitude of talking to them is quite different.

Generally, just entered the upper class, not too familiar with the temper of the various nobles rookie newcomers, will take a moderate approach to this, in the exchange of official polite words to deal with, commonly known as the panacea, this way of communication is the advantage is that no matter what the other party's personality is, will not offend people, but the disadvantage is that you are polite with others, others are just polite with you, between the two sides are limited to polite understanding, can not go further.

But Ye Ling took a radical approach uncharacteristically, did not use the set of panacea, treated different nobles, his skills were different, catering to the other party's temper and personality, and discussing different topics, that is, talking about people when they see people, and talking about ghosts when they see them.

This method is just the opposite of the advantages and disadvantages of the golden mean, if you grasp it well, you may easily gain the favor and appreciation of the other party when you meet for the first time, but if there is a problem with the scale, it is easy to cause unhappiness and leave a bad first impression, and it may take a lot of effort to get support in the future.

Therefore, the latter's way of communication is usually only suitable for those who have been crawling for at least a while in high-level situations, know the major nobles very well, and are sleek old fritters, such as Elizabeth, can only be effective, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

Ye Ling participated in this kind of high-end banquet for the first time, and he was so bold and radical that Elizabeth couldn't help but sweat for him, for fear that Ye Ling would look foreign and even offend people.

But that didn't happen. When in contact with each guest, Ye Ling's conversation, tone, and every word and word he said were almost impeccable.

For example, a certain grand duke named Casper, Ye Ling was very clever to communicate with him about the topic of beautiful women, and praised his charm and affection, which made Casper's heart bloom, because this great nobleman has always been pretentious, and he is proud of the hearts of many beautiful women who have captured them in his life.

And Grand Duke Damon is a dedicated and affectionate person, since the death of his wife, he has never remarried, in front of him, Ye Ling did not mention anything related to women, but discussed the preparation of cocktails, because Grand Duke Damon likes cocktails very much.

And what surprised Elizabeth even more was the Grand Duke of Ximai, this Grand Duke is recognized as the most difficult nobleman in Twilight, he is always cold and old-fashioned, he doesn't like frivolous people, especially nobles with lower status than himself, he must not be hippie in front of him, so it is not easy to joke with him, but Ye Ling easily overcame this problem, although Archduke Ximai hates frivolous jokes, but he quite likes Ye Ling's subtle cold humor.

In addition, Grand Duke Ximai also has many taboos, such as age, anyone who mentions age-related, even just a little side, he will brush his sleeves away, in addition to the figure, because the old guy's feet are a little short.

There are too many taboos when communicating with him, almost every step is frightening, and a little carelessness will annoy this person, so even many sleek old fritters are cautious, walking on thin ice, and newcomers can only choose the golden mean to associate with him, so the other fifteen of the top sixteen demons have all met with him and bowed and left, not daring to stay for half a minute, only Ye Ling is the only exception. His cold humor made this always have a stinky face, as if the old guy who owed him money in the whole star world and didn't pay it back, even had a smile on his face many times.

In terms of topics, Grand Duke Ximai hardly has any topics of interest, his only hobby is the art of calligraphy and painting, and he has collected the best works of witchcraft, but no one dares to say these things to him casually, because Grand Duke Ximai's calligraphy and painting art attainments are extremely high, if you do not reach that level, you will show your feet in a few words, and he will be bitterly ridiculed and counted down in public. Therefore, this topic is not only what Ximai is most interested in, but it is still a forbidden area, but Ye Ling has stepped into this forbidden area.

The accident was, not like many uninteresting people hit the wall, the old guy and Ye Ling talked with his eyebrows, there was a feeling of seeing each other late, this conversation lasted for nearly twenty minutes, not to mention Elizabeth, all the people were unbelievable, because usually, Grand Duke Ximai felt that talking to the other party was not speculative, and talking for ten seconds was too much, even Elizabeth, in the eyes of the old guy, could only be regarded as a relatively reluctant friend, usually met at the banquet for a maximum of three or five minutes, and it depended on the mood.

For this reason, even if this quirky old guy is the elder of a very shili family in Twilight, no one can please him.

Now, this rookie quasi-aristocrat has done it.

After Grand Duke Ximai and Ye Ling suspended the conversation, and warmly invited him to his Grand Duke's Mansion as a guest, Elizabeth couldn't help it, and dragged Ye Ling to the corner again, which made Ye Ling very puzzled: "Grand Duke Elizabeth, didn't you let me integrate into this circle, why did you come here again now, isn't it, what did I do just now?"

Elizabeth said embarrassedly: "No, you have done too well, too good to be imagined, but I wonder if you have ever had the experience of socializing in high society when you were a human being." ”

"What's this?" Ye Ling thought for a moment: "If you want to say, I once helped some cities repel the Star Tribulation, and received their courtesy, does this count?"

Elizabeth shook her head without thinking about it: "No, no, no, this grade is too low, and you must not be able to cultivate such a means!"

As a good political friend, after some observation just now, Elizabeth can be sure that Ye Ling's communication skills are not as simple as being proficient, he is simply super smart, and he is at the same level as herself.

Political communication is an art, not easier than martial arts cultivation, and even much more complex art, you need to have a very comprehensive ability, decent words and deeds are only the most basic requirements, you also have to understand the object of communication, figure out their thoughts, just understand, may not be able to get along with it well, such as the Grand Duke of Ximai, is a typical example, many of the great nobles here know him, but if you don't have Ye Ling's cold humor, you can't joke with him, and without the advanced attainments in the art of calligraphy and painting, you can't get involved in this topic。 The two abilities of cold humor and profound calligraphy and painting art are not necessarily able to be learned by many people in a lifetime.

What's more, Ye Ling's things are far more than this, cocktail preparation, food cooking, piano and chess music, flower and plant pot cultivation, he is almost omnipotent, and each is not an ordinary mastery, these have become his invincible artifact when communicating with the great nobles, and he has a very powerful aura, even if he has not yet become a formal nobleman, but this powerful aura makes everyone dare not underestimate him, which invisibly makes Ye Ling's status improved, Elizabeth even found that some nobles who have been in contact with Ye Ling have begun to mention this newcomer to others in their words, and the nobles of some families who had been defeated by Ye Ling did not linger anymore.

It can be said that in the first high-class banquet, this rookie successfully created a high-end and high-grade image in the hearts of so many demanding nobles.
