This is a story about a superficially innocent and understanding person but secretly cunning and smooth gong, paired with a initially sharp-tongued and unruly but later blackened, sly, and manipula...
The dispute begins
Ever since Song Liubai appeared, the atmosphere in the hall has inexplicably become low.
Xiao Cha couldn't help but let her eyes linger on Song Liubai's profile, then she shook her body, trying to shake off the non-existent ice debris on her body.
This atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.
Song Liubai still had a cold face, but his hands began to pick and choose on the table until they stopped at a plate of green grapes in the middle of the fruit plate.
The 'King of Hell' who was intimidating everyone just a second ago, peeled the grape skin with his bare hands the next moment, and then handed the flesh to the 'male favorite' beside him.
Unfortunately, the 'male favorite' had no tact at all. He didn't even say a word of thanks or flattery, and just ate the food from the hand of the 'King of Hell'. He was really arrogant because of his favor.
Everyone tacitly understood and felt worried for the young man, and then their eyes turned to the Hengyuan Sect, which had a close relationship with Song Liubai.
However, Hengyuan Sect, who had known all this for a long time, remained calm and didn't even look at them, which made them look like they were making a fuss out of nothing.
Xiao Cha, one of the parties involved, blinked, accustomed to ignoring the surprised expressions around him. But at this moment, he caught sight of a swaying figure outside the door and said in a cold voice, "The host of this banquet is almost here. Why don't you take a seat?"
Now the group of people finally gave up, retracted their unnecessary glances, and quietly returned to their respective seats.
At the same time, Xiao Cha placed his hand beside him and quietly tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him.
"Although you have your own ideas, if you hurt yourself and go too far, I don't mind finding someone else to deal with it."
The last sentence was just a joke when Xiao Cha said it, but when he looked up, he saw a glimmer of shrewdness in those dim eyes.
Song Liubai pursed his lips, his hand gripping the edge of his clothes firmly in his palm. He pinched the back of the boy's hand meaningfully, but his face was full of innocence, "I dare not."
Xiao Cha looked at the back of her hand and then stared at Song Liubai, her lips curled.
Why didn't I notice before that Song Liubai also had this "white and black" face?
"jingle……"
At the door, Nangong Ye's ageless face remained the same as before, with a hint of appropriate kindness and unfathomable depth. He was wearing luxurious clothes, which showed that he seemed to attach great importance to this banquet.
But what was strange was that the person following him was not his usual trusted disciple who followed him around to do odd jobs, but a young man wearing a white robe and a conical hat.
The young man's face was obscured by the white gauze falling from his hat, and his real face could not be seen at all. The aura around him was not inferior to that of Nangong Ye who had entered the Mahayana stage in front of him, and he seemed very mysterious.
The two walked into the hall one after the other. The sects around them stood up one after another and nodded when their eyes met.
Xiao Cha's eyes were fixed on the two of them, but he quickly looked away because the person next to him held his hand tightly.
Ah Cha thinks who of the two people in front of him will be the mastermind of this "Hongmen Feast"
Song Liubai's voice sounded in Xiao Cha's mind, and he rolled his eyes to recall what had just happened.
"Nangong Ye is trying to win over people's hearts, but the direction of this matter is full of strangeness. I'm afraid that the gossip of the 'person behind the scenes' is inevitable."
“Bang—”
The flute on the young man's waist seemed to be not tied tightly, and he pulled it out while walking, and it just happened to fall in front of Xiao Cha's table.
When the young man bent down.
Xiao Cha accidentally caught a glimpse of the young man's cheek, and the tiny scales on his cheek immediately attracted Xiao Cha's attention. However, when he reacted, he bumped into the young man's strange pupils.
At this moment, Xiao Cha felt a sharp pain in his head.
A system that had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared.
[Warning, warning, NPC anomaly! ! Plot anomaly! ! !]
[Warning: Warning: Under attack – Repairing – Repairing 15% – Repairing 45% – Repairing 50% – Repair failed!! System…battery…is low…]
The system's voice became increasingly weaker as time went on until it disappeared.
Xiao Cha frowned, lowered his forehead, and shook his head slightly. The pain in his mind made his lips turn pale. When his mind came to his senses, he shouted a few times to the system in his mind, but the only response he got was the noisy sound in his ears.
What’s going on? Did the young man discover the existence of the system?
Xiao Cha's black pupils trembled slightly in shock, and perhaps because of panic, the strength of his palm holding the person increased a lot.
"A-Cha?"
"A-Cha, are you feeling unwell? A-Cha..."
Song Liubai called the boy's name softly, unable to hide the worry on his face.
Xiao Cha came back to his senses and pulled his hand away in a panic, "It's okay, I just have a headache."
Feeling empty, Song Liubai looked at his palm and then, realizing it belatedly, clenched it tightly, his tone tinged with reluctance and grievance, "That's good."
Is there something else he's keeping to himself that he doesn't want me to know? It turns out nothing has changed...
Think of this.
Song Liubai was attracted by what was in front of him.
"The grapes are a bit sour now, so you should eat some chestnuts, they are plump and round." Xiao Cha looked at Song Liubai who was motionless, and directly stuffed the peeled chestnut heart in his hand into Song Liubai's mouth.
"Why are you still distracted? It's just eating a chestnut." Xiao Cha pretended to be confused. He would never say that he took these series of remedial measures because he saw Song Liubai's gloomy face and realized that something was wrong.
"No." Song Liubai shook his head. Maybe the chestnuts in his mouth were fried just right and turned into powder as soon as they entered his mouth, and a hint of sweetness filled his taste buds.
Song Liubai closed his mouth and chewed the food quietly.
This look gives her a somewhat weird and well-behaved feeling.
Xiao Cha curled her eyes, patted the chestnut shells in her hands, turned her head and looked at the young man with a serious look.
The young man stood behind Nangong Ye, but the white veil in front of his face could not block the man's faint gaze.
Xiao Cha didn't know that the Great God Demon Servant couldn't suppress the smile on his face after looking at him just now. Because of excitement, the scales on his back popped out one after another. If someone stood behind the Great God Demon Servant at this moment, they would definitely be able to see the slightly bulging clothes.
Found it!! Found it!!
Finally found the last golden body soul.
Nangong Ye felt the person behind him tremble slightly, and glanced back in surprise. But before he could move, he heard the young man behind him say with a hint of warning, "Master, remember the agreement."
Nangong Ye was clearly sitting in the most noble position in the hall, but his behavior now looked like that of a puppet. The impatience in his heart eventually turned into fingers that turned white with force.
"I guess this place was quite lively before I came here?"
"Blame me. I didn't entertain you well enough and didn't fulfill my duties as a good host. Instead, I let the guests take on this role." Nangong Ye brought the people in the hall to their senses with just a few words.
Silent knocking, what is this trip for?
