Leng Yan looked up, and the young lady felt inexplicably panicked when she saw Leng Yan's emotionless eyes. The person next to her saw that she was distracted and immediately pulled her sleeve under the table.
The young lady came to her senses when she felt her hand being pulled down. She looked at Leng Yan with some displeasure. She was a young lady and was actually frightened by a stranger.
Leng Yan was now casually considering the possibility of making these people in front of him die quietly and without causing any disturbance. However, after thinking of several methods, none of them could be perfect. After realizing that it was impossible, Leng Yan withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. After all, it was a waste of time.
At the same time, Leng Yan thought of what Ruan Mengli had said: "She wanted to be a single-celled paramecium."
At this time, Leng Yan noticed that Qi Zhian beside her seemed to want to stand up to rescue her. Leng Yan just moved her fingers slightly and Qi Zhian was unable to move. She asked Leng Yan with her eyes, and Leng Yan noticed that her gaze swept over her lightly.
Qi Zhian lost his temper instantly when he met Leng Yan's eyes. However, he kept staring at Leng Yan without moving his eyes away.
Leng Yan looked at the young lady and said slowly: "So this is the upbringing of your daughter from an official family. I have broadened my horizons today." As soon as these words came out, the group of people looked embarrassed for a moment.
What these people care about most in their daily lives is their face. Now that others say they are uncultured, they can't refute it. It would be strange if they are not embarrassed.
In addition, there were men present, and their behavior today might have left a bad impression on them. They were all unmarried young ladies, and what happened today might even affect their future marriages.
Thinking of this, the other young ladies from the official families looked at the young lady who had challenged Leng Yan with a bit of hostility. At this time, another young lady from the official family spoke up, but her spearhead was directed at that young lady.
"As expected, people from humble backgrounds are uneducated. How can one judge a woman's appearance at will?" As soon as these words came out, a chorus of people responded.
In the end, the lady sat back dejectedly, but the atmosphere was no longer as lively as before.
Leng Yan sipped the wine in her glass. "Good manners?" The rest of the people present didn't seem to have much. As long as they didn't stop the young lady and intended to watch the show, their manners were not much better than hers.
Now they are attacking that young lady and putting all the blame on that person. On the one hand, it is for their own benefit, and on the other hand, it also reflects their upbringing.
If she hadn't raised the issue to a level of parenting, and if it hadn't affected their interests, they would have remained silent, saying it was just human nature. They would only take action when the sticks fell on them and they felt pain, rather than just hypocritically asking, "Are you okay?"
The man on the side watched quietly, and only withdrew his gaze when the farce was over, while commenting in his mind: "This princess's childhood playmate is quite cunning. I should avoid interacting with her in the future."
At this moment, the general beside him raised his glass and said to Qi Zhian: "Princess, your playmate is really interesting. Why not lend him to me for a few days?" As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped and looked at him, and Qi Zhian's body froze.
Then she quickly adjusted herself and said: "What do you mean, General? You should ask Yun Qing, not me." The general laughed when he heard it, "I think Yun Qing's words are really interesting. I would like to borrow her from the princess for a few days. I also want to learn." As soon as these words came out, the others burst into laughter.
Someone among them joked: "I didn't expect that the general would have to learn how to speak one day." The general also smiled and said: "There are always people better than you, isn't that normal?" As soon as these words came out, the others laughed even harder.
The general also looked at Leng Yan with a smile, seemingly casually but pressing forward step by step. Qi Zhian took advantage of the table to cover Leng Yan's hand, tightly grasped it and shook it slightly to indicate her refusal.
But Leng Yan sent her a message: "Princess, we need to prepare for what you are going to do. Getting close to him will bring more benefits than disadvantages to us." Qi Zhian clenched her fists even tighter after hearing these words, but she could not come up with any other reason.
Leng Yan looked at the general and said in a cold tone, "Since the general wants to learn, I have no reason to refuse. I just don't know how many days it will take, after all, I still have to accompany the princess." As soon as he said this, the general looked at Leng Yan with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, but soon he smiled again and said, "It doesn't take a few days, how about five days?"
After saying that, he looked at Qi Zhian and jokingly said, "Princess, you wouldn't be so reluctant to give up even five days, would you?" Qi Zhian's nails were almost digging into her flesh, but she still smiled and said, "Since Yun Qing is willing, there is no reason for me to refuse. But General, please help me take good care of her. If she gets hurt or damaged, I will be held accountable."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter again. The atmosphere at the banquet also became lively again. After the banquet ended and everyone left one after another, the general said that he would come to pick up Leng Yan tomorrow and left.
After the general left, Qi Zhian looked at Leng Yan and said with concern: "Yun Qing, your decision this time was too impulsive. Although this is indeed beneficial to the plan, I don't need you to do this for me."
Leng Yan looked at Qi Zhian and said with a slight smile: "Princess, I said I don't have much time, and this opportunity can save me more time."
Qi Zhian lowered her head and responded with a muffled "OK", so she did not see the disappointment in Qi Zhian's eyes.
Qi Zhian had always known about Leng Yan's departure, but now she was reluctant to accept the news. The loss that spread in her heart was like a creeping vine, slowly filling her heart. She felt extremely bitter. She knew that she and Yun Qing were from two different worlds, but she couldn't help but greedily want more.
But Yun Qing was a god in heaven, and it was impossible for him to stay for too long for her. When she thought of this, her heart was filled with endless loss and fear. She couldn't imagine what her life would be like if Leng Yan left her.
Leng Yan also noticed her reluctance and raised her hand to gently rub the top of her head. Feeling the movement on her head, Qi Zhian paused and then a secret joy rose in her heart.
Then she heard Leng Yan's voice like the collision of jade: "Princess, don't worry now. I will be with you all the time." Qi Zhian looked up and met Leng Yan's eyes that were deep in the cold pool. Then the corners of her lips curled up slightly to reveal a smile from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, Leng Yan's spiritual power gathered in his hands, and then an ice-blue lotus appeared in his palm. Leng Yan held the flower in his palm forward in front of Qi Zhian and said, "It can protect your safety in the next few days when I'm not around."
Qi Zhian's eyes lit up with a smile as she reached out to touch the petals. The moment her fingertips touched the petals, the flower in her palm transformed into a blue stream of light that sank into her brow. Then, a blue lotus mark appeared between Qi Zhian's eyebrows, but it quickly disappeared.
Qi Zhian touched the spot between his eyebrows, and the disappointment in his heart was swept away. He smiled and said, "Yun Qing, you are so kind."
Leng Yan hummed lightly.
