Before Jin Shangyue could say anything, Yuan Wan sneered again.
"By the way, you just came back from some remote and backward corner, so you probably don't know about the banquet customs in our capital's elite circles."
The mocking words caused the smiles on Yu Han and Song Mingying's faces to fade.
Yu Weilan's eyes also turned cold, and the previously restrained solemn aura around him suddenly became more stern and chilling.
The old master of the Yuan family also came to the banquet with his sons. Seeing the expressions on Yu Weilan and the other two's faces, he made a perfunctory gesture and gave them a reprimand.
"Wanwan, stop fooling around and come here to Grandpa."
Yuan Wan had only one thought in her mind: to teach Jin Shangyue a lesson and make her lose face today.
If she can't handle Yu Shiwei, surely she can handle this country bumpkin!
She had to collect some interest, since Jin Shangyue was now Yu Shiwei's sister and even prettier than Yu Shiwei, which made her jealous and resentful.
"Grandpa, I'm not being silly. I just wanted to play the game that Jinshangyue loves to play in our circle."
"What kind of banquet would be complete without some fun games? Let me start and bring good luck."
"You," Old Master Yuan said with a helpless yet indulgent smile as he scolded Yuan Wan, "then take the Yu family girl out for some fun, but don't you dare bully her."
This clearly indulgent attitude prompted Yu Han to immediately respond with a forced smile.
"Elder Yuan is right. We should have fun, otherwise our Yu family's banquet would not be interesting enough, and it would make us seem like we are not being hospitable enough."
Before the elder could say anything more, Yu Han looked at Jin Shangyue with affection, demonstrating his ability to change his expression in a second, and said with a big laugh.
"Yueyue, since the little girl from the Yuan family wants to play so much, why don't you play with her?"
"There is indeed a custom of playing some small games at banquets, such as betting and competitive gambling, to liven things up. Just relax and play without feeling guilty. As long as no one gets killed, it's fine."
That last sentence was so profound that it made some of the older folks think about it deeply.
What does this old guy Yu Han mean?
Could it be that this Jinshangyue really has some special abilities?
But most people thought Yu Han had gone mad.
Are you sure you're not warning the wrong person if you're trying to prevent a wild girl from causing a death?
Even if Jin Shangyue isn't like the legendary figure who hasn't cultivated but possesses some martial arts skills, she still couldn't possibly be a match for these juniors present, whom their families have nurtured from birth with countless resources.
Jin Shangyue ignored the whispers around her and nodded to Yu Han.
"I understand, Grandpa. I'll be careful and won't kill anyone."
For some reason, upon hearing this, Yu Han's eyelids twitched uneasily.
Especially seeing Jin Shangyue's alluring and radiant smile, I felt inexplicably a little creeped out...
Others, however, felt that Jin Shangyue was overconfident, like an ignorant frog in a well, unaware of her own limitations.
Just as everyone was waiting for Yuan Yuan to tell them how to play, she turned her head and looked at the group of young people present.
"Since Jinshangyue hasn't played our games before, why don't we all join in and let our newest daughter learn how to play our games?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Shiwei's friends and admirers immediately came to their senses.
Yes, they all still need to stand up for Weiwei.
Chang Xiling and the others immediately cheered, "Great! It's more fun when there are more people!"
Li Xiao: "That's right, everyone should join in! We can play a few more rounds! Let's have some fun with Miss Jin Shangyue!"
Li Xiao deliberately emphasized the words "Second Miss," especially the word "Second," and deliberately dragged out the last syllable.
This is clearly a blatant insult.
Jin Shangyue glanced at the small group, her face showing no shame or anger, but instead a wicked smile.
Ji Chaoyun sneered, her eyes filled with schadenfreude as she looked at Li Xiao and his group.
Moreover, there was no warmth in his gaze, as if he were looking at a series of cold corpses.
Jin Shangyue noticed that, besides Yu Shiwei's small group, the group with the loudest appeals was also the small group of the twins Yu Xingze and Yu Xinghai.
The malice in these people's eyes was almost impossible to hide.
Most of the people, who were just looking for a good show, also joined in, purely for fun.
Jin Shangyue waited until these people had finished chattering before speaking.
"Tell me, how do you want to play?"
Yuan Wan said with a pretentious look, "Let's have two ways to play the game: one is a multiplayer free-for-all, and the other is a one-on-one challenge."
"For multiplayer battles, we'll just play dungeons. We won't make it too difficult for you; we'll just play the three most basic dungeons..."
When Yuan Wan was speaking, Xiang Lin originally wanted to go over and explain things to Jin Shangyue, but it turned out that he was not needed at all.
Ji Chaoyun and Jin Shangyue were already whispering to each other.
"Sister, although I don't attend banquets outside, I still keep track of information from various people outside."
"The dungeon that woman mentioned is a gameplay method that came from the other side of the universe. It involves playing a pre-set dungeon game in a game pod, a one-to-one realistic projection simulation."
"If you get injured in the dungeon world, you will feel the same pain in real life, just without the wound."
"If you are killed in the instance, the pain you feel in reality will be replicated one-to-one, and your mental consciousness will also be damaged, but there will be no external injuries."
"Depending on each person's physical condition, the degree of damage to their spiritual consciousness in the real world also varies."
