The day the delegation arrived at Fanhua City.

In the pear blossom garden on the back mountain, pure white petals scatter in the wind, like huge snowflakes falling.

In the forest garden, in a pavilion with swaying gauze.

Zhu Yan frowned, thinking about where the next move should be made.

Li Huashi slowly held the teacup in her hand. The tea was so hot that she could only sip it in small sips.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, he pretended to sigh: "Alas~"

Zhu Yan didn't even raise his head and said familiarly, "It's almost there."

Li Huashi had a smug look on her face and couldn't hold back her smile.

You have to know that when Ah Hu and Li Xuan taught me how to play chess, I was beaten from the very beginning and lost miserably.

Later on, it only took me three years to start winning more and losing less.

After realizing the joy of playing chess, in five years, he had become almost invincible.

Playing chess is like playing conspiracy and intrigue.

Occasionally taking the enemy by surprise, occasionally taking risky moves, setting up the game in advance, digging traps, luring the opponent into the game step by step.

The sense of accomplishment of playing with your opponent in the palm of your hand is more pleasurable than defeating a strong man by force.

Especially, if the opponent loses, throws down the chess piece in anger, and curses at this time: "You are so insidious."

For Li Huashi, this is simply the highest compliment!

Zhu Yan helplessly dropped the chess piece and sighed: "You win again."

"Haha~ if you're new~ just practice more~ you're really average~ hahahahaha~"

Li Huashi was very boastful and arrogant, which made Zhu Yan angry and amused.

Li Lun, who was standing by, couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

Zhu Yan: "I don't want to play anymore. I can't win no matter what. Let Li Lun come."

Li Lun paused for a moment and said, "... I'm not interested. I won't come."

Zhu Yan chuckled: "Oh~ Not interested~ That's right, you've lost eight games, so you should be uninterested."

Li Lun glared at him, causing Zhu Yan to burst out laughing.

Li Huashi: "If we don't want to play anymore, should we have food brought up? Or should we go downstairs and eat together?"

Zhu Yan: "I don't care. Anything is fine. But seriously, is this okay for you?"

Li Huashi: “Like that?”

Zhu Yan: "Today we are welcoming the delegation. As the city lord, is it really okay for you not to go?"

Li Huashi: "Okay, what's wrong with that? I'm not the Lord of Fanhua City anymore."

Zhu Yan and Li Lun were stunned: "Huh?"

Li Huashi: "A few days ago, I passed the position of city lord to Bai Zhirou."

Zhu Yan x Li Lun: . . .

Zhu Yan: "So casual?"

Li Lun glanced at Li Huashi and said, "You gave up the position of city lord so casually. You really trust them."

Li Huashi chuckled: "To be honest, trust is something like this. No matter if it's a human or a demon, I advise you not to trust others too much. In this world, only interests are trust that will never be betrayed."

Li Lun and Zhu Yan looked at Li Huashi silently, their eyes full of meaning.

Perhaps it was because on a normal day, the impression that Li Hua Shi gave to the two of them was not that of someone who could say such words.

So at this moment, the two of them were a little surprised.

In Li Huashi's opinion, whether it is Zhu Yan, Li Lun, or Fei, they are all too easy to trust humans.

To be honest, if those three demons weren't so good-looking, it would be too easy for her to trust her.

She really wanted to give it a try, using the Soul-Separation Incense to control them, and then try to see if she could turn them into zombies.

Li Lun: "So, the city lord is just a status on the surface. No matter whether you are the city lord or not, as long as your interests and value exist, the person who is truly in charge of Fanhua City will always be you."

Li Huashi smiled slightly and did not answer.

But seeing that she did not refute, Li Lun had already got the answer.

Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a little proud.

It turns out that the person he likes is so outstanding, but he rarely shows it in his daily life, so no one notices it.

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Huashi suddenly thought of something.

"At this time, the banquet should be ready to serve, right?"

Suddenly, Li Huashi asked with a look of amusement: "Do you want to go and have some fun?"

Zhu Yan x Li Lun: . . .

Li Lun said with disgust: "I'm not going."

Li Huashi: "Oh, we're not going to eat other people's leftovers. I'll have Bai Zhirou send someone to secretly add three seats in the corner of the banquet. The three of us will sneak in and take a look at what the beautiful princess looks like. Aren't you curious? I don't believe you're not curious!"

Zhu Yan touched his nose.

He didn't know whether Li Lun was curious or not, but he was curious.

However, he was not curious about the princess's appearance, but he had never seen a human princess, so he was curious about what the princess and the prince looked like.

Just like that, Li Lun, who was reluctant to leave, was dragged by the two men and sneaked into the hall.

In order to prevent Li Huashi from being discovered, Baizhirou specially arranged a dance performance.

At the banquet, Baizhirou was dressed in gorgeous attire, standing upright, and sitting on the high platform in the hall with a dignified look.

On both sides of the exquisite and luxurious hall, on the tables to welcome guests, delicious dishes with beautiful presentation were neatly arranged.

On the left side of the hall is the location of the visiting delegation, and on the right side are the people from Fanhua City.

While everyone's attention was on the performance, the three of them crouched and sneaked into the back row on the right.

Several people from Fanhua City were also very considerate and covered for Li Huashi.

After the three of them sat down, Li Lun took a glance and found that those sitting in Fanhua City were all very familiar people.

Among them was an old man, Bai Qianzhen, who often fished by the lake.

Looking at the people in Fanhua City dressed in luxurious clothes, which are so different from their usual appearance, there is really a sense of déjà vu as if they are two different people.

Zhu Yan looked at the envoys from the opposite delegation with curiosity.

The three people sitting opposite were sitting in the front row. It was impossible to tell who the prince was, but Zhu Yan could tell who the princess was at a glance.

After all, there was only one woman among the three.

What Li Huashi was most concerned about was what would be served at today's banquet.

Looking at the beautifully presented but small plates at the banquet, Li Huashi curled her lips in disappointment.

Sure enough, there is a difference between eating at a banquet and eating at a banquet.

Li Huashi started to pick up his chopsticks, and after tasting a bite of the delicious food, he unceremoniously took away his portion from Zhu Yan's table.

Zhu Yan: ...

Good brothers should share the good and the bad, so Li Lun’s things were taken away as well.

Li Lun rolled his eyes in annoyance.

It was obvious that Li Huashi could order more after she finished eating, but every time she did, she would snatch theirs.

He raised his hand back and gestured.

The maid quickly brought two more servings to fill the two of them.

However, what the three did not notice was that when they sneaked into the banquet.

Among the two men on the other side, the one on the far left had already discovered the three men when they sneaked into the banquet.
