Baili Hongzhuang sat down in her seat while Di Beichen and Mo Yunjue sat across from her.
"Master, the Lan family purposely separated you from Di Beichen and the others."
Xiao Hei's face was filled with displeasure. This arrangement seemed reasonable, but in reality, it was extremely preposterous.
"They must have learned their lesson from the previous banquet, so they purposely arranged it this way."
Baili Hongzhuang's expression was indifferent. Lan Jingkuang and the others had clearly come prepared. She could only wait and see what they were planning.
"Hong Zhuang has been arranged to sit alone over there. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate." Mo Yunjue lowered his voice.
Di Beichen's gaze was deep and obscure. "We can only take one step at a time. There shouldn't be any problems if we keep our guard up."
Fortunately, Hong Zhuang was a poison master herself. Aside from this, Di Beichen wasn't too worried about her other methods.
Mo Yunjue nodded slightly. "We can only watch their performance now."
Baili Hongzhuang was originally very curious about what methods Lan Jingkuang and the others would use today. But when she saw that the person arranged to sit next to her was Yue Siqing, she suddenly felt that it was a little funny.
Was this a display of one's slight skill before an expert?
Yue Siqing's poison skills weren't bad. If she poisoned others, they might not be able to guard against it. But if she wanted to poison her, then it would be meaningless.
Yue Siqing clearly didn't know that Baili Hongzhuang was Xuan Yi. She thought that Baili Hongzhuang didn't know her well. Her old face rippled with a somewhat fake smile.
"Young Palace Master Baili, what happened last time was just a misunderstanding. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Yue Siqing spoke slowly. Clearly, after a month, she had recovered from the previous incident.
Although that incident was very embarrassing, with Lan Jingkuang and the others protecting her, she didn't suffer any harm.
Moreover, if she succeeded in poisoning him today, then she would really become a hero of the Lan family!
"If Master Yue doesn't take offense, then all the more I won't pursue the matter." Baili Hongzhuang said with a half-smile.
Yue Siqing looked at Baili Hongzhuang's expression and felt a little displeased, but she could only suppress it.
At this moment, a voice attracted everyone's attention, and the entire banquet hall instantly fell silent.
"Patriarch is here!"
Following the crowd's gaze, they saw Lan Hongtai slowly walking over, a faint smile on his determined and calm face.
Lan Hongtai sat at the main table and looked at the people below with a smile, "Let the banquet begin!"
From the moment Lan Hongtai walked into the banquet hall, Lan Jingkuang and the others had been paying attention to the interaction between Lan Hongtai and Baili Hongzhuang.
However, what puzzled them was that Lan Hongtai and Baili Hongzhuang didn't make much eye contact, as if they hadn't spoken at all.
"The reason for this banquet is to celebrate Young Master's ascension to the position of Patriarch. I hope that everyone will drink to their hearts' content and don't be restrained.
Let's toast first, "Lan Jingkuang said to the crowd as he raised his wine glass.
Lan Hongtai's actions could be said to have stolen the limelight from the host, directly declaring his own power and completely ignoring Lan Hongtai's existence.
Lan Kaicheng and the other elders also stood up and echoed Lan Jingkuang's actions.
"Young Master, congratulations, congratulations. You're going to become Patriarch at such a young age!"
"We'll have to look up to Young Master in the future!"
