Chapter 1122 Huo Zhiyan, you have come to this day!
When Kao arrived, the birthday banquet, which had been lively and bustling, suddenly became quiet.
Under the gazes of everyone, he walked slowly into the birthday banquet hall in a black robe, looking elegant, graceful and dignified.
What is surprising is that although he is the King of Flowers and a powerful being in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, there is almost no trace of time on his face.
When other people reach his age, even if they are not gray-haired, they will still be old and have more or less traces of time. But this Flower King looks like a young man and amazes everyone as soon as he appears.
"Thank you all for coming. After today, my Shuqi will grow up. There will be many things that need your care in the future. I hope you can take good care of this child."
Kao raised his glass and toasted everyone.
At this moment, everyone in the hall raised their glasses to return his toast.
The birthday banquet was held with great fanfare, complete with music, singing and dancing, and was extremely lively.
Manshuqi, the eldest princess of the Higanbana clan, attracted everyone's attention at the birthday banquet and stole the limelight, becoming the object of everyone's attention.
The praises for her were endless, the admiration for her was everywhere, and the rare and valuable gifts she received at the birthday party, each more precious than the last, constantly caught the eyes of the guests at the party.
In contrast, Kao on the throne was much more low-key. He sat quietly in his seat drinking wine, and when guests came to toast him, the steward beside him would block them for him.
Therefore, no one could get close to him, and all the glory was on the eldest princess Manshuqi.
As the representative of the fox clan, Su Yunxiu had to attend social events one after another and was extremely busy. Fang Gaofei and Huo Zhiyan next door also had to attend social events all the time.
In this extraordinary bustle, Ye Linglong sat quietly aside drinking some wine, so low-key that it seemed as if he did not exist.
Being in this lively and grand birthday banquet, she inexplicably felt something was a bit strange, but she couldn't figure out what was strange for a moment.
It wasn't until she observed for a while that she found the strange spot.
Although the birthday banquet was very lively, everyone gathered around the eldest princess Manshuqi, including the people of the Higanbana tribe who were also very active.
But apart from congratulating the eldest princess, all the members of the Higanbana tribe were chatting and drinking with their fellow tribesmen around them. No one of them interacted with the guests outside the Higanbana tribe.
They seemed to live in a world of their own. They did not even socialize with guests within the flower tribe who were not from the Higanbana tribe, let alone guests like them who came from far away.
On the contrary, people from other tribes of the Flower Clan were particularly enthusiastic. They surrounded the outsiders several times, toasting them and chatting with them, without stopping.
This phenomenon is not obvious at first glance in the lively birthday banquet. You have to keep watching to realize that although everyone is lively, the liveliness is also divided into different territories.
After discovering this, Ye Linglong finally knew where that inexplicable weirdness of his was.
Today is their third day living in the territory of the Red Spider Lily royal family. Except for the birthday banquet tonight, they have spent most of their time in that deserted courtyard.
Apart from Man Shurou who came to find Su Yunxiu on her own initiative, and the forbidden area she accidentally entered, they had never seen any other members of the Higanbana tribe. They were so mysterious that they seemed almost non-existent.
Then tonight, at this lively birthday banquet, they suddenly showed up, and there were quite a few of them.
It was this feeling, never seen before, of their sudden collective appearance, that made her feel that the people of the Higanbana tribe at the birthday banquet were very unreal.
Ye Linglong was still immersed in his own thoughts when Kao, who had been there for a while, left the birthday banquet on the grounds of feeling unwell.
Since there was not much hustle and bustle around him before, the atmosphere did not decrease at all after he left, and everyone continued to gather around the eldest princess, Man Shuqi.
At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" from the noisy next door, and the noise was quite loud.
Ye Linglong turned around and saw Huo Zhiyan slumped on the table, his cheeks were red and he looked very drunk.
"He's drunk! Hahaha..." Fang Gaofei from the next door laughed wildly: "Huo Zhiyan, you've finally got what you want! Do you think I can't drink as much as you because you've drunk me twice in a row? I just let you drink!"
After saying this, he still felt unsatisfied, so he took the wine jug and walked in front of Huo Zhiyan.
"I won't give in to you today. Do you think you can hold on? You embarrassed yourself in front of so many people at the birthday party. This is enough for me to laugh at you for the rest of your life! Hahaha..."
No one knew whether he was drunk or angry, but Huo Zhiyan's body, which was lying on the table, suddenly stood up.
"Tsk..."
At this moment, he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't. His face turned even redder from holding it in, and it seemed that he couldn't even breathe smoothly.
The shrimp monster he brought with him was so frightened that it quickly patted his back to comfort him.
"Master? Master! Are you okay?"
"Tsk..."
"Hold on, I'll take you to sober you up." The shrimp demon anxiously helped Huo Zhiyan up, and before leaving, he glared at Fang Gaofei: "It's all your fault, you insisted on getting my master drunk!"
After saying that, he hurriedly left the hall with Huo Zhiyan, leaving Fang Gaofei behind who was unconvinced and still cursing.
"So what? He asked for it! What's wrong with me getting him drunk? A grown man like him can only drink so little. It's useless!"
Seeing Huo Zhiyan and Shen Lixian leave, Ye Linglong's mind was no longer on the birthday banquet. After all, she had seen Huo Zhiyan's drinking capacity before.
Only Fang Gaofei would be complacent about his victory over Huo Zhiyan.
While the birthday banquet was still lively and Su Yunxiu was waiting in front to drink, Ye Linglong, who had always been low-key and transparent, secretly stood up and walked out of the hall when no one was watching.
However, before she reached the palace gate, she saw someone hurriedly walking in from outside the hall and heading straight to where the eldest princess was.
I don’t know what I reported to the eldest princess, but I saw her face change drastically in an instant, but it was only for a moment, and she soon returned to normal.
Then she apologized to the guests, saying that she had some urgent matters to attend to. After leaving the birthday banquet to the second princess, she left in a hurry.
When she was leaving the hall, Ye Linglong just moved to the hall door and was about to slip out behind her, but suddenly, the guards in front stopped her.
"I'm sorry, distinguished guest, but you cannot leave the hall for the time being."
"Why?"
"Something happened in the royal city. The eldest princess has gone to deal with it. No one is allowed to leave the palace until it is over."
At that moment, Ye Linglong was blocked and felt like an ant in her heart. She was almost out. If the guard who brought the news had come a little later, and the princess had left a little later, she would have been out!
But it's not a big problem.
Ye Linglong turned around, glanced around, locked onto Fang Gaofei who was still drinking in the crowd, and then smiled slightly.
