These words instantly ignited the atmosphere, and many people looked at Nilu with surprise.
Seeing this, Xu Nian slightly curled the corners of her lips, her mind wandering, and made a talisman with her hand.
Those watching the play suddenly felt dizzy and immediately withdrew their scrutinizing gazes.
"Thank you." Nilu turned her head, her gratitude heartfelt.
She knew that Xu Nian must have done something to make those people act this way.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian simply shook her head. "It's alright. Just remember to tell me if anything happens."
Seeing the two chatting happily, Baylor narrowed his eyes and unconsciously clenched his fists.
He still remembered how easily Xu Nian had resisted him not long ago!
As the clan chief, how could he possibly allow such a person to exist within the clan?
Xu Nian noticed the hostile gaze from the prince, but her heart remained unmoved.
She didn't care at all about Baylor's opinion, nor was she worried that he would do anything to make things difficult for her.
Everything is under control.
At this moment, an elderly man with white hair sitting opposite the prince couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, how could he do such a thing?"
He is the Grand Elder, currently the most senior member of the clan, and also a loyal confidant of Nel.
The Grand Elder had assumed that today's events were simply the Prince's birthday celebration, but he never expected that the Prince would actually commit such a rebellious act.
He tried to resist, but seeing Nilu's silent demeanor, he lost his confidence.
"Everyone!"
Suddenly, Baylor stood up and raised his wine glass.
"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I have specially invited a stunning dancer to perform for you all!"
He spoke with a smile, but his heart was filled with malice.
Before the banquet began, the prince had anticipated that Xu Nian would attend, so he specially arranged for someone to assassinate her.
It's normal for dancers to dance, and when people are admiring their dance moves, they unconsciously lower their guard, which makes it easier for him to get revenge!
With that thought, Baylor's smile deepened. "Now, let's enjoy the show!"
The crowd cheered and applauded, watching with great interest as one dancer after another appeared on stage.
Xu Nian watched coldly, but felt extremely uneasy inside.
A sense of danger.
She keenly noticed it.
Seeing this, Xu Nian quickly made a talisman with her hand hidden under the table and softly chanted a spell.
"Oh."
A short while later, Xu Nian let out a cold laugh.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her like this, Nilu was a little worried and asked with concern.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian slightly parted the corners of her lips, but ultimately did not reveal anything. "It's nothing, I just saw some interesting things."
Hearing this, Nil didn't press the matter further, but instead watched the dancers perform absentmindedly.
The dancers were indeed alluring and charming, with slender figures, and every smile and frown captivated people's hearts.
Xu Nian was getting a little tired of watching, so she ate grapes half-heartedly.
The prince was a wicked man, yet he was greedy for many things, and he kept bringing out the finest fruits one after another.
[This dancer is quite good; she's very beautiful.]
My attention was completely focused on the streamer. Did you guys see that? She clearly cast a spell just now!
[I think so too, haha. It must be because the streamer foresaw something that their expression was so strange just now.]
The dancer giggled and swayed her body, but a secret was hidden in her sleeves.
Xu Nian squinted and clearly saw a silvery-white light.
The change happened in an instant; the dancer smiled and flicked her sleeve, and the sword rushed towards Xu Nian in a flash.
"bite!"
The sword was thrown precisely at Xu Nian, but amidst the gasps of the crowd, it bounced off and crashed heavily to the ground.
Xu Nian's expression was indifferent as she grabbed the dancer by the neck. "You really dare to try this trick on me."
"stop!"
Upon seeing this, Baylor panicked immediately and hurriedly stood up to call for a halt.
However, Xu Nian had no intention of giving him face at all. She tightened her grip slightly and threatened the dancer in a low voice, "Who told you to do this?"
Everyone on the field stared at the action with surprise, their minds racing with speculation.
They only knew that Xu Nian was Princess Nilu's good friend, but they had never heard that she was so skilled!
The dancer's face flushed red, and she bit her lip tightly, determined not to reveal anything.
Xu Nian remained completely calm, raising an eyebrow slightly. "If you don't tell me, I'll have to use some serious methods to break you."
After saying that, she glanced at the nervous-looking Baylor, "My family has a secret technique that can make people reveal all their secrets, but it can also cause great harm to their physical and mental health..."
Xu Nian spoke eloquently, even with a warm smile on her face, yet it sent chills down the spines of many.
The dancer's face showed a look of terror, and she shook her head tremblingly, but she didn't have the strength to make a sound.
A chill rose from Xu Nian's delicate face.
"I'll ask one more time—"
Who is it?
The dancer was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat, but just as she was about to speak, her eyelids lifted and she collapsed weakly.
Xu Nian sneered at the sight of black blood oozing from the corner of her lips and looked at the Prince.
The man looked nervous, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
Looking again, she saw the two elders beside him staring at her with grim faces and hatred.
"How do you do things?"
Nilu spoke up at the right moment, breaking the silence, "If anything happens to her, I will make you pay for it at all costs."
She looked around, her back straight, exuding a princess-like air, making everyone angry but unable to speak out.
Baylor pursed his lips, trying to smooth things over, but Xu Nian had already sat down on her own, patiently sipping her drink as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Baylor wisely shut his mouth and continued to urge everyone to drink.
"Is it him?" Nilu asked in a low voice.
She had just sensed unusual hostility, but before she could react, Xu Nian had already made her move.
"That's right, they probably want to get back at us for what they did before."
Xu Nian responded with a mocking smile.
Barlow stood solemnly to his side, constantly watching out for any eavesdropping.
The banquet quickly came to an end, and Xu Nian's enthusiasm waned considerably.
She had thought that Beller had summoned Nilu this time because he had made some kind of preparation, but she never expected that it was just a carefully planned dinner to murder her.
That's really boring.
Xu Nian pursed her lips, stared at the indifferent Nilu, and asked carefully, "Who are those people over there?"
Although she didn't want to know about these trivial matters, since she had already decided to help Nilu, she would naturally choose to help her to the end.
Then, Nil explained in detail the issues between the elders.
Apart from the Fourth Elder who recently passed away, the First Elder and Fifth Elder support the Princess, while the Second Elder and Third Elder support the Prince.
Just as Xu Nian was about to speak, Beller looked at Nilu.
"By the way, I haven't asked for your opinion yet, Nilu?"
