"Whoosh!" A gasp and murmurs rippled through the crowd. It turned out that many people had been quietly watching as the two women approached Sui Yi, curious but restrained. After the veil was removed, the women all held their breath, and the two cousins ​​were stunned, completely awestruck by Sui Yi's breathtaking beauty.

"Damn, I feel like I've fallen into a wolf's den. These stares are terrifying." Sui Yi thought to herself, feeling the attention coming from all directions.

"Master, look at the way those people are looking at you. It's like they want to devour you," the system said.

"I think so too." Her lips twitched.

"Men want to eat you because they're lustful, while women want to eat you because they hate you for your looks," the system analyzed.

“Ha! These people don’t have the guts,” Sui Yi said. Lowering her head, Sui Yi forked a piece of fruit.

"Hmm! It's still more convenient not to wear a veil." Sui Yi chewed on fruit, put down her fork, and waved her hand in front of the two women in front of her.

"Hey, wake up!" The two sisters were startled awake. Looking at Suiyi's face, they were momentarily speechless.

"So? Are you satisfied with what you see?" Sui Yi asked with a mischievous smile.

"Uh, I, we didn't mean to. I have something to do over there, I... I'll go over first!" With that, she pulled her cousin aside.

"Master, the woman is gone now, it's the man's turn to appear! Look to the left," the system reminded Suiyi.

Sui Yi looked up and saw several men walking towards her with wine glasses in their hands. She frowned, feeling somewhat displeased. Seeing their lecherous looks, Sui Yi thought about finding an opportunity to put a sack over her head. However, she didn't move and waited for the men to come closer.

"Miss, are you alone? May I introduce you?" A man in a plaid shirt tossed his head with a self-satisfied air and asked Sui Yi.

"This guy is blind. You clearly came here with that powerful weapon," the system said.

"? You gave him a nickname?" Sui Yi asked, puzzled.

“That’s something you don’t know, Master. I saw him once…” Before he could finish speaking, the system suddenly stopped, as if it had realized something.

"Speak up, why are you stopping? Didn't you say you didn't have the ability to probe other people's information? How come...?" Sui Yi said through gritted teeth, her voice filled with hatred.

"Uh, well, with the master's abilities, the task can be completed perfectly without any cheats," the system said.

"What cheat code? I didn't ask you to help me, I just wanted to provide some information. After the banquet, I need to know who the head of this top family is. You handle it," Sui Yi threatened the system.

"I really want to slap this loose tongue to death. See, it's exposed now." The system was somewhat dejected.

At this moment, after threatening the system, Sui Yi finally felt somewhat relieved, believing that the system wouldn't dare to play any tricks. Looking at those men, she inexplicably found them rather endearing.

"Come on, gentlemen, have a drink!" Sui Yi raised her wine glass and gestured for the group to drink.

"Great, give me one!" one of the men replied.

"Bang!" The four of them clinked glasses together and drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

"Miss, won't you introduce yourself?" The man who had just asked Suiyi to introduce herself asked again, not giving up.

"Oh! My surname is Tao, you can just call me Sister Tao!" Sui Yi joked.

“Miss Tao, judging from your accent, you don’t seem to be a local?” another man said.

"Yes! No."

"Did Miss Tao come alone?" I asked again.

"no."

"Hehe! I wonder which gentleman will be able to win the favor of a beauty as beautiful as Miss Tao?" the man asked tentatively. If his family was not as wealthy as his, then perhaps he would have a chance to win the beauty's heart.

"Would you like to get to know him? I'll call him over." Sui Yi had some ill intentions, but also a testing mindset.

“Sure! It wouldn’t hurt for us to get to know each other.” The man looked at the other two and quickly replied.

"Tch, they're probably too scared to come by." Sui Yi thought to herself with disdain.

"You said it yourself! Come with me." Sui Yi called out to the group and walked towards where Lin Xiao was.

"Hi! Lin Xiao!" Sui Yi walked over and called out.

Lin Xiao heard someone call him, signaled the people next to him to stop talking, looked up at Sui Yi, and saw that she was not wearing a veil and was accompanied by several men. Displeasure flashed through his mind, he stood up from his chair and walked towards Sui Yi.

"This is going to be good!" one of the people who had just been talking to Lin Xiao said to the others with a smile.

"Let's see what's going on?"

"Such an obvious problem, it's like even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. It seems even the shrewd and ruthless Mr. Lin is no exception," one of them remarked.

"Shh, watch the show, watch the show." The others stopped talking and stared at them.

At this moment, Lin Xiao walked over and asked, "What happened?"

"The veil falling off was an accident. As for these gentlemen, they'd like to get to know you," Sui Yi replied, knowing what Lin Xiao wanted to ask.

Those three men, their courage completely gone, their legs went weak the moment they saw Lin Xiao. That man was a legendary figure their elders talked about all the time; even their elders addressed him as an equal, let alone men like themselves who were just scraping by. At that moment, none of them could muster any courage.

"So it's Mr. Lin! I thought it was some hero who won the favor of a fairy. Miss Tao and Mr. Lin are a match made in heaven!" One of the people who had walked over with Sui Yi earlier was quick-witted. Finding a topic, she kept complimenting Lin Xiao and Sui Yi.

“…System, that metaphor is so cliché, and the flattery doesn’t even hit the mark,” Sui Yi said to the system with disdain.

"That's called acting according to circumstances, which is pretty impressive," the system replied.

“Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Lin and Miss Tao are a perfect match,” another man quickly chimed in.

"Didn't you say you wanted to get to know me? Introduce yourselves first." Lin Xiao looked at them expressionlessly, which startled them into shaking their heads.

"Well, we already know, sir. We're just nobody, not worth your attention." He was joking, of course. This Lin fellow, besides being highly intelligent, was also ruthless and cunning. If he found out we had designs on his woman, things would be terrible.

"Um, Mr. Lin, I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to do, so I'll head over first."

"Yes, Mr. Lin and Miss Tao. Are you well?" After saying that, the three of them left in a hurry.

Suiyi had no room to maneuver and was somewhat frustrated.

"I knew it," the system said. "Lin Xiao is a deadly weapon. He made the enemy retreat without a fight in just two sentences."

"There's no fun now, everyone's been scared away." Sui Yi sighed helplessly. She had thought she could find some fun at this boring banquet, pass the time, and maybe even test someone, but her plans had fallen through so early.
