C183 Start of banquet
The main character of this time's banquet had already arrived. Everyone stopped chatting and shifted their attention to the hosts of the banquet who were seated at the head of the banquet.
But when their gazes landed on the pair of beautiful children, all of them couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air. This man and woman were simply too good-looking, and both in terms of appearance and temperament, they were the only impeccable existences in the world.
In addition, the two of them looked like a pair of mummies descending from the sky under the contrast of their extravagant attire. It filled the hearts of everyone present with 'admiration', 'envy', 'appreciation', and a series of evaluations. And let everyone know that the two of them were the main characters of this time's banquet, Situ Wuchi of the Situ Family and Leng Nuohan of the Leng Jia's family. It was also because of these two people's engagement banquet that caused them to meet together in the Fengyang City.
Just as everyone was giving off their brilliance, two people stood up on the main seat. Everyone was familiar with these two people: one was the Patriarch Situ Qingtian of the Situ Family, and the other was the current Patriarch Leng Yuefeng of the Leng Jia.
The purpose of today's banquet is to convey to everyone that my third son, Situ Wuchi, is about to officially enter into a marriage agreement with the First Miss of Leng Jia, Leng Nuohan. As for the two of them, the wedding will be held after the age of twenty. Situ Qingtian spoke first.
"That's right, our Leng Jia is very honored to be able to form a marriage alliance with the Situ Family, of course, the marriage agreement for the two young ones was made long before they were even born, and there is also the personal decree of the Emperor. Today, our two families just happened to meet each other at the Fengyang City, so we might as well organize the marriage ceremony for the two young ones. Of course, I am extremely grateful that everyone was able to attend the ceremony. " After Situ Qingtian finished speaking, the patriarch of the Leng Jia, Leng Yuefeng, continued to talk.
"Today, Situ Family has prepared a thin layer of wine and delicacies. If there are any neglections, I hope that everyone will forgive me and take responsibility. Of course ?" Situ Qingtian said again.
Just as Situ Qingtian and Leng Yuefeng were singing this long 'grand' novel, Gongsun Zaitian had already gotten tired of it.
"Is your father and my father having a double talk?" Gongsun Ztian said with an impatient look on his face.
"What? You think you're being long-winded?" Leng Nuohan looked at Gongsun Zaitian playfully and said.
"It makes me drowsy and unable to extricate myself!" Gongsun Zaitian commented.
"This is just a family gathering. If you were to attend the Imperial Banquet, you would know what it means to be a nobody meeting a great witch!" Leng Nuohan scoffed, then said.
"Thank you for the reminder. I will definitely not participate in this competition!" Gongsun Zaitian had a look of thankfulness on his face as he spoke.
"But I've heard that the Empire's banquets are full of top-notch wine and delicacies!" Leng Nuohan said in an alluring manner.
"Then can I pack some things and leave immediately?" Gongsun Zaitian asked very politely.
"It seems like it's possible that... "It's very difficult!" Leng Nuohan pretended to be deep in thought for a while before she jokingly said to Gongsun Ze Tian.
"Alright, I'll be troubling you then!" Gongsun Zaitian owed Leng Nuohan for saying something that caused him to be unable to wrap her head around it.
"You're troubling me?" Leng Nuohan couldn't react for a moment, and asked suspiciously.
"That's right, I'll have to trouble you to pack some for me. As for going to the banquet, I can't thank you enough!" Gongsun Ztian explained with an indifferent expression.
"..."
The banquet in Honglong Continent had its' special features', for example, after the 'opening speech', there would actually be a 'meeting of friends and relatives'! Gongsun Ztian didn't understand this point. He had thought that there would be some ceremony for the marriage contract, but his two 'fathers' were 'swindlers' after all. The so-called 'ceremony' was just like that.
It was only after Gongsun Ze Tian consulted Leng Nuohan that he found out the truth. The so-called marriage contract was only a form of declaration to the outside world. This meant that there was no need for Gongsun Ze Tian and Leng Nuohan to show up. Originally, Gongsun Ze Tian thought that the two of them would dress up and attend the competition, but who knew that they would not even have the chance to act as models.
"Since there's nothing for us to do, why should we come here to attend a banquet?" Gongsun Ze Tian asked shamelessly.
"Of course, it's not that there's nothing to do, but we still have to go meet all of them later!" Leng Nuohan explained.
"What?" "So many people. How many years does it take to see a monkey?" Gongsun Ztian looked at the guests who had arrived today with a surprised expression. He seemed as if he was about to turn around and run away.
"Of course, not all of them. Only a few representatives of the influential parties who were well-placed could be considered a form of communication! "However ?" Leng Nuohan laughed, and quickly pulled Gongsun Zaitian back, explaining the situation to him. But as she continued to explain, Leng Nuohan didn't even know what words to use to describe his current situation.
"But it isn't!" Gongsun Zaitian added for Leng Nuohan.
"An egg?" "What do you mean!?" Leng Nuohan was suspicious, she had never heard of this term before!
"But it's useless!" Gongsun Ztian said while holding his cheek with one hand, as if he was extremely bored ?
"Hehe, that's about right! "With the strength of our two families, many of the powers here are nothing in our eyes. We're just giving them a friendly attitude." Leng Nuohan laughed, but continued to speak.
"Understood!" Gongsun Zaitian replied.
? ?.
"Don't just stand there. Go meet your father with him!" Murong Fenghuang's voice came from behind Gongsun Ze Tian.
"Me? Nuo Han doesn't want to go? " Gongsun Ztian asked in puzzlement.
"What is she doing? "As long as you go and see the guests, it'll be fine. Nuhan is here to accompany me!" Murong Fenghuang said.
"Oh!" "Then mother ?" Gongsun Ze Tian said hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Murong Fenghuang saw her son's expression and asked.
"Remember to leave me some food. I haven't eaten dinner yet!" Gongsun Ztian said coyly.
"Scram!" Get lost! " Murong Fenghuang immediately felt a headache when he heard it, and quickly waved her hand to make him disappear.
Gongsun Ze Tian quickly ran over to his father's, Situ Qingtian, and accompanied by his father and Leng Yuefeng, he opened his mouth and visited the representatives of the various tables.
"Wu Chi, this is ?" Hurry up and greet him...
"Wu Chi, quickly call him uncle. This is ?"
"Wu Chi, this is your Aunt Guo, she is ?"
In such an atmosphere, Gongsun Ztian was already confused and disoriented. He could not differentiate between north, south, east and west, and could only nod mechanically in greeting. Everything he heard was similar to what he had heard. Of course, only someone as good as Gongsun Zaitian with his amazing hearing was able to successfully capture these two versions.
Face version:
"I can see that this child will definitely become a great person. His name will definitely rise greatly in the future, and he will be able to lead the way. His future is immeasurable!"
Come, uncle, take a look. Hmm, not bad, this temperament is probably second to none among those of the same age. His brow is bright and upright, and I think that he would usually listen to his parents' words.
"This child's spiritual elegance can be seen just by looking at him. Looking at his cute appearance, he looks really handsome. Let Aunt kiss him!"
Background version:
"Humph, incalculable my ass. This brat, in my opinion, he is a natural short-lived ghost. Didn't I say that this brat can't live past the age of 20? I would like to see how he will marry this young miss from the Leng Jia at the age of twenty. "
"This kid really doesn't know anything. He doesn't have the fluctuations of inner force, nor the existence of illusions, so he must be a cripple." But it's such a pity for this young miss of the Leng Jia. From the looks of it, he will definitely become a great beauty in the future, and won't be wasted on this useless short-lived ghost. Seems like my clan's brat will have to find a way to get closer to this young miss! "
It's a pity that I don't have long to live, and my body is very weak. If not for the fact that I have the title of Young Master of Situ Family, I wouldn't be serving this kind of brat!
Of course, no matter if it was a good word or bad, Gongsun Zaitian would not care about it at all. This was like a lion, it could fight against a pack of wolves or bully tigers and leopards, but have you ever seen it bark at a vicious dog? Losing was' worse than a dog ', winning was' finally better than a dog ', no matter what, it was a matter of losing both face and identity, yet the lion refused to do it, let alone Gongsun Zaitian did not do it.
Of course, Gongsun Zaitian wouldn't let these people off lightly either. At the very least, these people would obediently stay in the toilet for the next few days, dancing with the flies and accompanying the stench.
Wu Chi, come over and greet Elder Lu. He is one of the ten great reverends elders of the Blood Illusion Valley, he is an expert in illusion techniques! Situ Qingtian brought Gongsun Ze Tian to a middle-aged man in a blood-red robe and introduced him to him.
"Paying respect to Elder Lu!" After Gongsun Ze Tian gave his respects, he carefully sized up this person called Lu Baihuan.
Lu Baihuan, the Jiang Hu is known as Yu Lu Bai Huan. Although he is a perverted person, an absolute hypocrite, but his illusions are extremely powerful, and he has reached the high-level of the fifth level Demon illusionist, able to break through to the peak of the fifth level at any time. Furthermore, he cultivates an Earth Realm illusion technique, which can be considered a very high level technique. Moreover, although this person was one of the lower ranked existences in the Blood Illusion Valley, he would be very important and received the attention of the Blood Illusion Valley's Valley Master.
All of these were information that Gongsun Ze Tian had obtained, and Gongsun Ze Tian also knew some information that was not mentioned in the report. This person called Lu Baihuan, was once Qiong Yu's teacher, and the scar on Qiong Yu's face, was caused by him as well. It could even be said that it was caused by him.
"Elder Lu, if you have time, I hope that you can come to my residence and give some pointers to my good-for-nothing children!" Situ Qingtian took the opportunity to say politely.
"Clan Head Situ, please excuse me. As the Patriarch, I am too courteous and do not dare to invite you." Lu Baihuan cupped his hands and said humbly.
"Haha, that's great, that's really great! "Master Lu and his wife, enjoy yourselves!" Situ Qingtian also cupped his hands and was about to bring Gongsun Ze Tian to the next table.
"Patriarch, please get busy!" Lu Baihuan said respectfully.
After meeting Lu Baihuan, Situ Qingtian brought Gongsun Ze Tian to the opposite table to pay his respects. Coincidentally, the table in front of them was where the influence of the Sword League resided.
And Sword League was also the sworn enemy of the Blood Illusion Valley, this arrangement was extremely subtle, thinking about how to make the two sworn enemies sit opposite of each other, like this, one night, without eating, the light qi would be full of anger. In this way, since he had saved his food and face, why wouldn't he do it?
Almost all banquets, as long as these two factions existed, would be arranged in this manner. Thinking about it, it was true that arranging the front and back positions for anyone was a very troublesome matter, so rather than make one family hate the host, it would be better for the two families to go to the other side and 'glare at each other' themselves, or at least eliminate themselves completely.
As for the choice between watching the banquet silently until the end, or choosing to say something bad like 'arguing' until the end, in short, they would not fight at the banquet again, no matter what. As for after the banquet, it was none of his business whether he lived or died!
