Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Blackbeard didn’t seem to notice…
Blackbeard seemed not to notice. The atmosphere gradually became colder. People around him were trembling and staring at him with horror.
He continued with a smile, "Because this seat is usually only occupied by the Sect Master's wife, just like the seat next to the Emperor should be occupied by the Empress, so this is the second most honorable seat in the entire banquet! You can imagine how much the Sect Master values you as a guest!"
Although he said that he cared, it sounded like he was gritting his teeth, as if he was secretly referring to hatred.
It can be said that most people have understood the meaning of this sentence, because it couldn't be more obvious.
Li Baili's face darkened little by little, and her gaze towards Li Hanshuang became increasingly cold.
Blackbeard laughed: "If you don't like this metaphor, just pretend I didn't say it. I just like to talk nonsense. It's just a joke, don't take it to heart."
As he spoke, he poured himself another glass of wine, raised it to everyone and said, "I'll drink a glass as punishment, please don't bother with me."
After saying that, he drank the wine and sat back.
The people around me didn't know what expression they should show on their faces.
It is impossible not to care, but it is too late to care now. What's more, there are so many people here and the banquet has to go on. Even if I want to cause trouble, I can't do it now.
They were stunned by this huge and almost instantaneous impact.
Li Qinglian secretly observed the expressions of Li Hanshuang and Li Baili.
There was no expression on Li Hanshuang's face, except for a look of displeasure, as if he had heard news he didn't want to hear, and looked quite impatient.
He frowned and straightened the corners of his lips, but didn't say a word. He seemed to feel that he was a little bit in the wrong, but also a little bit unconvinced. After all, he probably didn't know what Blackbeard had just said.
If you really count it, it can't be considered his fault. But if he said something unpleasant at this time, it was his fault even if it wasn't. There was no room for argument.
If you asked him to say something nice, he couldn't, so he could only remain silent.
Blackbeard saw that the situation was just as he expected, and he was very happy. He drank another glass of wine, and was extremely happy. He smiled and even hummed a song, but his voice was not loud.
Li Baili looked at Li Hanshuang steadily, with a cold look in her eyes, as if she was on the ninth day of the lunar month, and asked with a half-smile, "Did you arrange this position specially for me?"
Li Hanshuang poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one breath. After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his slightly red eyes. It was unknown whether he was angry, depressed, or aggrieved. He looked straight at Li Baili and sneered, "It was not arranged by me."
Li Qinglian felt anxious watching from the side and wanted to stamp her feet.
I ask you a question, and you answer it, right? Can't you say more? What will happen to you if I say one more word? Is this the time to be silent? Explain to him!
No matter how you two feel in private, you are still enemies on the surface. If you don't explain it clearly now, it will all be your fault in the future! Think about it! Speak!
But he couldn't help much now, so he could only watch.
After all, Li Baili's eyes never left Li Hanshuang's face. She looked at Li Hanshuang for a long time. It seemed that she did not find any guilt or remorse on Li Hanshuang's face, nor did she see any complacency. Li Baili reluctantly believed it.
"Before this, did you know or not?" Li Baili stood up, expressionless, and asked Li Hanshuang.
Only then did everyone realize that this seemed to be the first time Li Baili was so angry, and there was not even a smile on her face.
When Li Baili doesn't smile, her temperament is calm and indifferent, almost comparable to Li Hanshuang when she has no expression.
Some people looked at the two of them and were dazed for a moment, feeling that they were the same person, but their faces were indeed very different.
The dazed man looked at his plate, then at his wine glass, almost suspecting that he was poisoned.
"If you tell me the exact situation, I don't know. If you tell me whether it has been confirmed, I know." Li Hanshuang lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, then spoke slowly again.
When he spoke to Li Baili before, he either had a half-smile or was extremely cold. Now he is much gentler than before.
Although he still couldn't laugh, he didn't laugh before because he didn't want to laugh, and he didn't laugh now because of the situation. If he really laughed, he would look more like the culprit, so he couldn't laugh.
From this, it can be seen that he was actually a little afraid to look Li Baili in the eye. Otherwise, he would not have to stare at his wine glass and try to pour wine into it to avoid questioning.
Li Baili took a deep breath, stared at him coldly, and said angrily: "Aren't you going to explain anything more?"
Li Qinglian couldn't help but sigh that Li Baili's temper was still so good even at this time. She was willing to give another chance to explain even after being asked twice.
What a pity, what a pity, the obedient person on the other side is Li Hanshuang. Li Hanshuang is not the kind of person who can explain everything clearly in one breath after having one chance, and it is the same at ordinary times. It seems that this opportunity will be wasted!
As expected, Li Hanshuang stood up coldly, lowered his eyes, avoided Li Baili's gaze, and said in an extremely cold voice: "I have nothing to explain."
Li Qinglian guessed that what he was thinking was probably, I have nothing to explain to you, or I don't think I need to explain to you that I'm the second most honorable person, what else do you want to explain? Don't push your luck!
But I couldn't help but feel that Li Hanshuang actually had another meaning when she said this to Li Baili: I thought the relationship between us didn't need these empty explanations, don't you still believe me?
I am not what they say I am! I don't mean what they say I am! If you don't even believe me, I have nothing to explain to you.
"Since you have nothing to explain, there is no need to explain," Li Baili stared at him with her extremely dark eyes and said slowly, "I can't bear your hospitality. I'm going back home now!"
Li Baili said this and was about to leave immediately. The demon who came with him also stood up without hesitation and followed him. If he wanted to go back, he would follow him.
If they were really allowed to leave now, it would be a huge scandal for Penglai. How could one invite guests to a banquet and then let them leave right after the meal started?
It is conceivable that if what happened today were to be spread, there would be no good news.
As for Li Hanshuang, since he has assumed the identity of the sect leader, he will probably be the first to be reprimanded. No one dares to criticize him in front of him, but if too many people say so, he can also consider other positions in Penglai.
Li Qinglian frowned, unable to help feeling a little confused.
There were all kinds of signs that they should have a good relationship, but why did it happen like this? If it was just acting, there shouldn't be any need to act to this extent, right? It looked like it was irreparable!
Are they really going to embarrass themselves? If that's the case, their private relationship must be extremely bad, right? Then what happened before? Is it really a mistake?
Love and hate are entangled, and they are infatuated. Their relationship can't be that complicated, right? No! That would be bad for everyone! Can't their relationship be pure and simple?
Li Qinglian's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Li Hanshuang knew that if he didn't stop her at this moment, Li Baili would disappear immediately, so he took two steps at a time and stepped forward, holding Li Baili's shoulder.
Li Baihe was not polite to him. She became alert the moment he stretched out his hand and turned around before his hand reached out to her shoulder.
When Li Hanshuang's hand really landed on Li Baili's shoulder, Li Baili snapped his hand away, stared at him coldly, and said with gritted teeth: "I have been tolerant for many times, but you have been pushing me too far. Now, you are even making a move on me. Do you think I really have no temper and you can do whatever you want to me?"
Li Baili waved her hand and blew up a mountain in the distance. There was a loud bang, and the mountain began to collapse. The rocks on the mountain rolled down one after another and landed all over the ground.
Li Hanshuang didn't want to fight with him, but he wouldn't give in. Li Hanshuang didn't have a good temper to begin with, so he endured it for a few times but couldn't bear it anymore, so the two of them started fighting.
The people around were stunned for a moment, then all stood up and quickly moved away to make room for them. The area was immediately vacated.
Above the sky, there was a flash of colorful light, lightning and thunder, wind and rain, flying sand and rocks, water and fire, and rumbling sounds that rang out again and again, making people's hearts tremble again and again.
Everyone was looking up below, wondering whether they should run to a farther place to hide, or find someone to go up and persuade them to stop fighting for the time being.
Suddenly, a dense rain of fire fell from the sky. The fire fell on things, and anything touched by the fire was burned to ashes in an instant. When the fire fell on people, they screamed and fell unconscious.
Fortunately, those unconscious people did not have any serious injuries and seemed to be able to be saved. The disciples in the treatment department quickly carried the injured away and were very busy.
People immediately gave up the idea of going up to persuade the two of them not to fight for the time being. If they were on the ground, they would be affected. If they really went up, they would die without knowing how.
Li Qinglian squinted his eyes and looked at the fierce battle in the sky. His heart curled up tightly and he felt regretful for a moment. He felt that things had developed to this point because he knew about it but did not report it. He was shocked for a moment. He did not expect that Li Baili and Li Hanshuang would actually fight like this.
After a slight hesitation, Li Qinglian immediately made up his mind that he could not let the two of them continue fighting like this, so he carefully flew up to the sky and tried to persuade them to make peace.
