Seeing Gongye Luping's questioning look, his heart inexplicably felt cold.
This is his most beloved sister. For her own selfish desires, she repeatedly offends the king. If the king had not remembered their old relationship on the one hand and was not afraid of their family's strength on the other hand, how could he have ignored her unreasonable behavior several times after get off work?
Recently, the king has been secretly eyeing their big families, often using the name of eradicating rebels to subdue the power of major families. Their Gongye family is already at the center of the storm, but Lu Ping just refuses to listen to advice.
Gongye Xun's heart sank at this moment.
"Since we've found my sister, Brother Gongye, please take her back. However... Miss Lengshuang is my person after all. Miss Luping, please hand over the antidote obediently."
Leng Qingning used a pseudonym, so she certainly couldn't be stupid enough to act under her real name.
Gongye Luping met his cold and indifferent eyes and felt inexplicably frightened. Why hadn't she noticed that Shi Qing's eyes were so terrifying before?
"Lu Ping, why don't you hand over the antidote to the grass of destruction?" Seeing that her brother had spoken, Gongye Lu Ping had no choice but to walk to Leng Qingning angrily and hand over the antidote.
As they passed by, Gongye Luping said fiercely, "Don't think this matter is over. I won't let you go!"
Leng Qingning looked at her with a puzzled look, then raised the corner of her mouth and said sarcastically: "I'm waiting, just come on"
An inexplicable fragrance came from the tip of her nose. Lu Ping was already annoyed, and the fragrance made her particularly irritated. She glared at Leng Qingning and left.
"I'm sorry, Miss Leng. I'm sorry for being rude. I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf. I have something important to attend to, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company any longer." As she said this, she hurriedly chased after her.
Leng Qingning and Shi Qing were left staring at each other.
Adhering to the principle that if he doesn't speak, I won't speak either, Leng Qingning stood there like a beautiful statue, motionless.
[Host, what are you doing? You're standing straighter than a statue.]
(When will he leave? He's delaying my rescue plan.)
[Well……]
"Apply the antidote quickly. I must see you at the banquet tomorrow." Shi Qing got angry for no apparent reason, threw the antidote to him and left.
This was the first time in his life that he was treated like this by a woman, and Shi Qing felt inexplicably annoyed.
Leng Qingning was speechless. She didn't want to attend any concubine selection banquet. She had to find a way to find an opportunity to leave the banquet.
She opened the medicine bottle and smelled the fragrance inside. This was indeed the real antidote, but she was not poisoned at all, so she simply threw the antidote into the space.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and on the day of the concubine selection banquet, all the maids in the yard were dressed up beautifully and looked at themselves in the mirror like peacocks spreading their tails.
Shiyin looked at the maids who were dressed up in gorgeous clothes, her brows furrowed. The air was filled with all kinds of extremely strong scents of perfume, which made people dizzy.
When she saw Leng Qingning without any makeup on, she suddenly felt extremely relieved, and her cold face became exceptionally friendly.
No wonder the king is particularly fond of Miss Leng. She has a noble character and is not like those flashy maids who are eager to climb up the social ladder. She is always calm and collected, and even a woman likes her very much.
"Ahem~ You are not qualified to participate in the selection of concubines, why are you putting on so much powder?" Her eyes swept over Huali beside her, and Huali met her gaze with a hint of a sneer.
"Miss Leng, let's go together." Shiyin came up and took her arm in hand as they walked towards the banquet.
"Tsk~ Isn't it just being a first-class maid? What's so great about that?" Huali said disdainfully.
When Leng Qingning was supported by Shiyin's arm and brought to the corner of the concubine selection banquet, she was stunned and stared blankly ahead.
This concubine selection banquet was indeed worthy of its name. The entire hall was filled with various beautiful and gorgeous women from the demon families. They were sitting in their seats under the leadership of their families.
Different from the low-key and reserved people in the world of cultivation, the women of the demon clan all dressed boldly and gorgeously, brightly and flamboyantly. Their curvy cleavages made Leng Qingning drool with envy.
This is not the devil, this is clearly heaven!
She laughed unconsciously "Hehehe~"
Shiyin felt a chill down her spine for no apparent reason. Something seemed to be wrong with Miss Leng's eyes. Why did she look so wretched?
It was an illusion, it had to be an illusion. How could a beautiful woman be described as vulgar?
"The Demon God Palace's eldest disciple and second disciple have arrived!"
"The third disciple of Mieyuan Pavilion has arrived!"
When Leng Qingning saw the two new teams' senior disciples from the Demon God Palace, she took a breath and a look of disbelief appeared in her eyes.
Was she dazzled or was it an illusion? The eldest disciple of the Demon God Art turned out to be Senior Brother Luo Heng?
[Host, what's wrong? You seem a little distracted?]
(This is the male protagonist in my previous cannon fodder system. He and I are both disciples of the Zixia Sect. I am very curious about how he became the chief disciple of the Demon God Palace.)
Luo Heng seemed to have just noticed her gaze and couldn't help but meet her eyes. There was surprise on his handsome face, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in his eyes, which then turned into worry.
Leng Qingning rubbed her eyes. Did she see it wrong? She actually saw a hint of worry in Luo Heng's eyes.
Leng Qingning nodded to him as the two passed each other.
Seeing that her eyes were always on Luo Heng, Shiyin explained to her.
"That handsome man is the eldest disciple of the Demon God Palace. It's rumored that a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky when he was born. He was originally the pride of the demon world, but due to family strife, he was accidentally exiled to the human world shortly after his birth. He only returned to the demon clan nearly fifteen years ago."
"As soon as he returned, he immediately eliminated the family's most dangerous member, the Second Young Master's lineage, and eliminated the Third Young Master's faction that murdered his biological mother. In just three years, he secured his position. This incident caused a huge sensation in our entire demon world at the time."
"What? Are you attracted to the eldest son of the Demon Palace? However, the king appreciates you very much, Miss Leng, don't forget, you are the king's person, don't let him down."
Leng Qingning: "..."
"The King has arrived!"
Surrounded by a group of servants, Shi Qing was dressed as flamboyantly as always, wearing a gorgeous purple robe inlaid with spiritual stones of the same color, and a golden crown on his head.
Shi Qing nonchalantly looked at the affectionate girls below and said boredly, "Okay, let's get started!"
The respected elders from the major families who were sitting in the upper seats below either had twitching expressions or showed a hint of contempt in their eyes.
"This idiot is indeed a idiot. He only thinks about women. The Golden Tiger Clan will be defeated by him sooner or later." The speaker was an elder of the Demon Palace.
The Yan family's Patriarch narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't this good?"
