Ji Xiao dealt with many important figures with a very casual demeanor.
This sends a very obvious signal: the high-ranking officials who come here are all trying to curry favor with Ji Xiao, rather than engaging in equal dialogue.
"Ji Xiao, over here, over here."
Just then, Murong Qingcheng's father, Murong Changfeng, pulled an old man along and waved to Ji Xiao.
After glancing at it, Ji Xiao immediately walked over.
The members of the Murong family were mostly gathered together at this time, except for Murong Qingcheng and Murong Xue.
Murong Changfeng smiled and said to Ji Xiao, "This is the old man. He just came back from the hospital. Let me introduce him to you."
"Grandpa, this is Ji Xiao, who will soon be Qingcheng's fiancé. What do you think?"
After scrutinizing Ji Xiao for a while, the old man nodded repeatedly: "Good, of course it's good, he's a perfect match for Qingcheng."
"Haha, I knew the old man would like it."
"Our young master Ji is both handsome and powerful, he's perfect."
"That's right, that's right."
The Murong family members were all fawning over Ji Xiao, praising him excessively.
Ji Xiao smiled brightly: "You flatter me, everyone. From now on, we're all family. There's no need for such flattery. By the way, where is Qingcheng?"
"She's getting her makeup done backstage. She'll be out soon. Girls are a bit more complicated. Once she comes out, our engagement party can officially begin."
Murong Qingcheng's mother, Liu Xu, smiled.
Liu Xu is a woman who still looks charming. She is nearly fifty years old, but her skin is still full of vitality and she is very beautiful. Murong Qingcheng has inherited Liu Xu's beauty and refinement to some extent.
Not far away, Ye Qiu and Yu Miaowei found a very inconspicuous spot to sit down and talk quietly.
"Second Senior Sister, what will happen if I accidentally kill Ji Xiao later?"
Ye Qiu asked Yu Miaowei in a low voice.
Yu Miaowei's face stiffened, and then she pinched Ye Qiu hard with the hand under the table: "If you dare to do that, you will instantly have another powerful enemy in the capital, even more outrageous than the King of Zhongbei. You will be fine, but the people around you, such as Song Siyu, Zhao Churan, and Li Yuechan, will all be finished."
"That is a problem..."
Ye Qiu seemed to be deep in thought.
One should not be too selfish and should not implicate others.
Ye Qiu was aware of this.
After all, the tragedy that befell the Zhao family was a bloody lesson, and it was still fresh in our minds not long ago.
But if Ye Qiu doesn't sabotage this engagement party today, he won't be satisfied.
For a moment, Ye Qiu fell into deep thought!
About ten minutes later, Murong Qingcheng finally made her official appearance, accompanied by Murong Xue.
A snow-white long dress made Murong Qingcheng look like a fairy descended from heaven.
But Murong Qingcheng's face was icy cold, showing no other emotional fluctuations.
Anyone who saw it would know that Murong Qingcheng was unhappy, extremely unhappy.
Even Murong Xue had a solemn expression.
But Ji Xiao was very happy and quickly walked to Murong Qingcheng's side: "Qingcheng, tonight you are better than anything in the world. I will make you the happiest woman in the world."
"That sounds nice, but you're not my type."
Murong Qingcheng said coldly, not giving him any face at all.
"What nonsense are you spouting, girl? Today is a special day; you'd better behave yourself."
Liu Xu hurriedly said.
"It's alright, it's alright." Ji Xiao waved his hand with a smile, as if he had already anticipated Murong Qingcheng's reaction, and said, "I believe that after some time, as we get to know each other better, Qingcheng will definitely change her opinion of me, and we will definitely grow old together."
"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Ji is so outstanding, my sister will definitely fall in love with you in the future, hehe."
A young man standing nearby said with a smile.
This young man was the only son of Murong Changqing, Murong Qingcheng's uncle, and his name was Murong Tian.
Upon hearing Murong Tian's words, Murong Qingcheng's eyes turned icy cold. She wanted to curse him, but she held back.
Soon, the old man himself took to the stage, holding a microphone, and announced that the engagement banquet was about to officially begin.
On the Murong family's side, all the clansmen gathered.
But Ji Xiao's side only had Ji Xiao himself and an elderly man who looked very old.
But this old man was clearly not a member of the Ji family, but rather a 'follower' brought by Ji Xiao, whose aura was unfathomable.
Ye Qiu sensed the old man's cultivation level with a slight effort and immediately recognized him as a Grandmaster.
Just as the engagement banquet was about to begin and Ji Xiao was about to make a statement, Ye Qiu suddenly stood up.
"This marriage hasn't even been discussed with my opinion yet. They're just going to get engaged like this. It's against the rules. I don't agree."
As Ye Qiu finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Then, all eyes fell on Ye Qiu.
Who is this?
Who is he?
Many people were completely confused, not knowing who Ye Qiu was.
However, some people quickly recognized Ye Qiu.
"He...he is Ye Qiu, he is Ye Qiu."
"Ye Qiu, the one who killed the King of Zhongbei?"
For a moment, everyone was shocked, and many people involuntarily moved away.
"Ye Qiu?" Ji Xiao stared sharply at Ye Qiu: "Was it really you who killed the King of Zhongbei?"
"So what if it is?"
Ye Qiu walked step by step toward Murong Qingcheng.
The moment Murong Qingcheng saw Ye Qiu, her eyes lit up, and then tears welled up in them.
"Sister, he really came."
Murong Xue was also overjoyed.
“I saw it.”
