… …

Starting tomorrow, everything will return to its original state. The people will live a normal life, the city will function normally, and the colorful light above their heads will extinguish their light tomorrow, unlike the last party, which was the most peaceful night in the past two days. The bustling city will be lit up by lights, different from the noise during the day, but at night, it seems quiet and graceful.

The dining hall below the stage was filled with people. Although there were a lot of people, it did not seem that noisy, and there were not many people who could sit on the second floor to eat. Therefore, as long as the downstairs appeared rather crowded, it would not be too crowded.

Sitting beside her were a few female characters from the world. Of course, the one sitting in the main seat was naturally the Queen of the Duchy. When they said their goodbyes in the afternoon, they made an appointment to have a dinner together.

As usual, Xiyue liked to wear black dresses. As she turned around, she wore a silver dress, as if she was trying to shine, and so did Anna, who was also dressed in red, which was different from the others. Xiyue's dress looked a lot more adorable, the pink evening dress was as cute as her short hair, and the Queen was the same. The gold and red dress represented the royal family, but it was different from the others.

It was a long table, obviously prepared for this kind of situation. There were other guests around, but they would feel surprised to see this, but they would look away very soon, as if they had never seen this place before.

The family chat at the table had become closer, even the sisters, Xiyue and Queen Skadi had become closer. Although they were the elders, there was no gap between them when they chatted, but the girls would always talk about some topics that were inconvenient for the boys to participate in.

Liang Yue wasn't the kind of boy who didn't know his place. Although she was a little interested, he still very consciously picked up a cup of wine and left his seat. He gently leaned against the fence on the second floor and watched the scene below.

The lights on the first floor became slightly dimmer. Liang Yue shifted his gaze downwards and looked at the stage under the fence. The spotlight was placed there, and he suddenly understood why there were so many people below.

He hadn't paid much attention to the layout of the things on the first floor when he first came in. Only now did he notice that the first floor was arranged in accordance with the instructions for the banquet, and there was even a dance floor left in the middle of the dining room. It was obvious that this was a ball.

Those who came to attend the ball were obviously nobles and rich people, and he could not help but sigh when he saw the silhouettes of quite a few students. The gap between commoners and nobles in this world was indeed very large, and most of the students in the academy had good family conditions in the entire Hetton Mall.

"Good evening, Mister Liang Yue." A man's voice was heard.

Liang Yue turned her head and smiled at the person who greeted her. "Good evening!"

Surprisingly, Barton was also on the second floor. It was good to meet other acquaintances. After all, he could pass the boring time.

"Why are you here too!" The two of them clinked their wine cups and laughed.

Since they were outside, there was no need for Barton to call Liang Yue the Chief. Moreover, Barton had already officially transferred to the academy. He was now a freshman in the Liang Yue Sword Arts Department.

On the other side of the table, there was actually a long table as well. There were many people seated around the long table, both young and old, a few old men sitting at the most important positions, and there were also many familiar figures that could be seen. Carefully recalling it, it seemed that all the people gathered there were ministers, no wonder they were on the second floor.

Liang Yue understood what he meant. Sitting at a table with an official was indeed meaningless. Even if they had descendants who represented themselves, their elders were surrounding them. That was why Barton had escaped.

"How do you feel?" The corner of Liang Yue's mouth curled up slightly as she asked Barton about the feeling of studying in the academy. The new students were not taught by him, they were taught by those core people.

"Thank you!" Barton drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp and took a step back. He gave a deep bow to Liang Yue, the angle of his bow exceeding 90 degrees. He solemnly said, "Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity."

…

The waiter once again poured wine for them, and Liang Yue quietly listened to Barton.

"There are many things I learned in the academy, and there are also many students who are stronger than me." Barton took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, "This is a completely different feeling from before in the academy."

As the grandson of a councilor, Barton had been studying in the academy early on, and he was also the strongest under the Western Moon in the sword arts department. However, because of some things that had happened, he had been expelled and went to another school to study, and after a period of time, Liang Yue and Anna had gone to study in another school. During this period of time, the strength of the students had increased explosively, for example, Vito and the others were weaker than Barton back then, but now they could easily defeat Barton.

"Learn well!" Liang Yue put on an act by patting him on the shoulder, saying sincerely, "You still have a long way to go!"

Liang Yue was in a good mood. What she had said just now was actually what his previous teacher had said to him when he graduated. Elder Zhang seemed to want to say something like that to her, but he could feel that Liang Yue was much stronger than him.

As the melodious piano downstairs played, lights illuminated the dance floor. It seemed that the ball was about to begin. Liang Yue squinted her eyes. Of course, beauties were pleasing to the eyes.

"What do you think of that?" The tacit understanding between men couldn't be described with words. Sometimes, a single glance was enough to understand what he was saying. Barton stroked his chin, nodded his head, and gave a thumbs up seriously.

"It's simply perfect!"

The young lady dancing alone on the dance floor was in stark contrast with the other couples. She looked exceptionally lonely, but everyone's eyes were focused on her. Liang Yue was a little surprised, these noble genes were indeed not bad.
