Long Yi mingled in the crowd and couldn't help laughing as he listened to everyone's discussions.
The hero is right in front of you, but you turn a blind eye to him.
After the female host looked around, she had already mobilized the atmosphere to its peak. Now was a good time to let the hero take the stage.
"Let us welcome the heroes of Dragon Country to the stage to deliver their speeches with warm applause and high respect."
After the enthusiastic applause, the entire hall fell into silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the elusive hero to show up. Seeing the hero would be a good topic of conversation after they left the venue.
One minute, two minutes, and finally three minutes of silence.
The hero of Dragon Country did not come out!
The female host looked embarrassed. She had not been told in advance who the hero of Dragon Country would be, so she was a little at a loss when this situation happened.
"Uh...our hero might be delayed now, the staff is already on their way to invite him."
At this time, it was not that Long Yi was unwilling to stand up and go on stage, but that he was delayed by Wan Shuang and Wan Xue. These two girls did not know that he was the hero of the Dragon Country. At this time, they were still pulling him aside and talking to him seriously:
"Brother Yi, do you think this mysterious hero is handsome? I guess his skin must be very rough from being exposed to the wind and sun in the army all day long."
Wan Xue laughed and said, "I don't know if he's handsome or not, but he's really arrogant. It's been so long and he still hasn't shown up. Hundreds of people are waiting for him."
Long Yi smiled helplessly and said, "I would like to go on stage, but you two sisters are holding each other's arms and leaning on each other's shoulders. It's really like a hero who can't move forward or backward."
Suddenly, a man in front stood up and shouted, "Brother, hurry up and get on stage to receive the award. I really want to see what this hero who is famous in Dragon Country looks like."
The person who spoke was Gao Qihang. He clasped his hands together and turned 360 degrees, showing his respect for the hero.
"It would be a shame not to take advantage of a bargain that comes right to your door." Long Yi sneered in his heart.
Then, under the incredulous gaze of Wan Shuang and Wan Xue, he slowly stood up and walked towards the center of the venue.
The crowd spontaneously parted ways, and Long Yi instantly became the focus of the entire venue.
Wan Xue was surprised and asked, "Brother Yi, what are you doing?"
Wan Shuang looked anxious: "Brother Yi, come back quickly, or the staff at the venue will misunderstand you."
Wang Chuqing, who was not far away, had a hint of sarcasm on her face. Looking at the way this guy walked like a dragon and a tiger, if you didn't know him, you would think he was the protagonist.
And what kind of occasion is this? So many high-ranking officials and businessmen in the capital, as well as senior military officials, are sitting quietly in their chairs, waiting for the hero to appear. If you stand up and walk around now, won't you be stealing the hero's limelight?
"Why is this guy so pushy? It's fine that he just had a conflict with Gao Qihang, but now everyone is waiting for the hero to show up, and he's just wandering around alone."
"How can this guy have no manners at all? Even if he has to pee urgently, doesn't he know to hold it for a while?"
Long Yi ignored the comments around him and walked towards the center of the venue calmly.
The female host was also confused. Instead of the hero appearing, a young man in casual clothes was walking towards her.
She reminded him, "Sir, please remain solemn during the commendation ceremony. You are not allowed to move around at this time. Please return to your seat."
Long Yi laughed and said, "Didn't you just let me come up? How come I can just walk around freely?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar.
Gao Qihang seemed to have finally caught the evidence, and he kept talking like a machine gun: "Mr. Long, the host called out the protagonist of this celebration banquet, the hero of the international martial arts competition, what does it have to do with you?
You're really overestimating yourself. You didn't even take a piss and look at yourself. You're wearing casual clothes bought from a street stall and you say you're here to receive a prize. Who would believe you?
Others also stared at Long Yi with strange eyes, mixed with disdain, astonishment, contempt and shock.
The only thing missing is trust.
After all, Long Yi's image at this time is completely different from their expected image of a hero.
"Don't be shocked, everyone. Mr. Long is the protagonist of this celebration banquet. He is a hero who has made outstanding contributions to our country in international battles."
A voice seemed to descend from the sky, like rolling thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
Immediately afterwards, an old man in black robes appeared in the center of the venue, like a long, sharp sword, emitting a sharp sword intent.
It was the Sword Saint Lu Jiutian!
When everyone saw who was coming, their pupils suddenly shrank and they all gasped.
"This... is this Senior Lu, the Sword Saint? Senior Lu actually admitted that Long Yi is a hero."
"Shouldn't he be in charge of Xuanyuan Pavilion headquarters? Why is he appearing at the conference venue in the capital?"
"Oh my god! I must be dreaming! I can actually see Senior Lu in person in this lifetime. The Dragon Country Sword Saint is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Gao Qihang, who was standing aside, had a frosty face, and at this moment, there was no trace of arrogance left. He stood there speechless.
The renowned Dragon Country Sword Saint Lu Jiutian actually came in person. Not only did he appear at the celebration banquet, he also directly acknowledged that Long Yi was a hero.
Li Chao and his group hid in the team, their mouths open wide enough to fit an egg.
They'd looked up Long Yi's information. Wasn't he just a rural doctor from Jiangzhou who, by chance, had saved a few dignitaries? How could he be chatting and laughing with the Sword Saint at the top of the Dragon Kingdom pyramid?
Long Yi looked at Lu Jiutian on the stage and teased, "Senior Lu, it seems that your lower body has recovered well after returning from the Sheqi Mountains?"
"Down there?" Lu Jiutian was stunned at first, then his old face turned red. He gritted his teeth and thought of what Long Yi had done to his big treasure, and kicked it hard.
Although he successfully broke through to the peak of the Heavenly Realm, he still felt pain down there for several days.
Just when he was flying in the air, he didn't dare to take big steps, for fear of pulling his balls again.
"Ahem," Lu Jiutian coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and continued, "Mr. Long, when I heard that the Beijing Military Region was going to hold a commendation meeting, I flew over without delay to give you a gift."
After saying this, his expression became extremely serious, and he said loudly: "Lu Jiutian of the Xuanyuan Pavilion in Yandu is giving the Dragon Nation hero Long Yi a piece of Ice Silk Soft Hedgehog Armor as a token of respect!"
Suddenly the entire venue fell into deathly silence. The scene before them was even more outrageous than a science fiction movie.
Xuanyuan Pavilion, the most powerful institution in Long Country, sent its most senior elder all the way here just to give Long Yi a gift?
Wait...Ice Silk Soft Hedgehog Armor, isn't that one of the ten treasures collected by Xuanyuan Pavilion?
As long as it is injected with true energy, it can not only withstand the fatal blows of high-level warriors, but even withstand one or two large-caliber thermal weapons.
In the dense forest, an invisible layer of protection will spontaneously form to isolate the poisonous miasma in the jungle.
