After some delay, Xiao Chen arrived at the Marquis's Residence's main hall about seven minutes later.
Many people gathered in the main hall.
Aside from the Soaring Dragon Marquis's children, there were also many Long Clan disciples, all of whom were from the Long Clan.
It was clear that the Long Clan was flourishing and had many people.
This made sense. As a marquis, it would be strange if the clan was not flourishing.
Monarch Yu's attendants and guards were scattered outside the main hall, standing together with the Marquis's Residence's guards.
Monarch Yu showed grave expressions, not letting down his guard just because he was in the Marquis's Residence.
The family banquet in the main hall had not started yet.
Monarch Yu was the son of a duke, possessing the royal clan's bloodline and a noble status.
However, he was easy-going and polite. His bearing and boldness were praiseworthy.
Currently, Monarch Yu was chatting with a youth. That youth looked somewhat similar to Lan Luo and was also older. He should be Lan Luo's older brother.
The Long Clan disciples surrounded the two, chatting happily.
However, Monarch Yu dominated the spotlight. Most people's gazes landed on him.
This was especially so for the many women. Their eyes gleamed with admiration, not hiding it at all.
"Young Master Xiao, we have arrived." The maidservant leading the way bowed obediently.
Before the maidservant left, she gave Monarch Yu a bashful look before taking her leave.
The little monk lay on Xiao Chen's shoulder, looking around curiously. He looked very cute.
One adult and one child entered the main hall.
This immediately attracted countless gazes. Many people showed curious expressions.
Aside from Monarch Yu, why was there an outsider at the Long Clan's family banquet?
"You are?"
The youth chatting with Monarch Yu asked from afar without standing up.
"Whoosh!"
Many gazes immediately focused on Xiao Chen. The bustling hall turned quiet.
"Big Brother, he is Xiao Chen, the person I told you about. Father specially invited him here. "
Without waiting for Xiao Chen to reply, Lan Luo stood up and made the introductions, leading Xiao Chen over.
"To think that you dare to enter the Dragon Marquis's Residence! Long Clan guards, take him down!"
A familiar figure appeared among the Long Clan disciples. This person could not hide his murderous intent as he pointed at Xiao Chen.
Long Bo?
Xiao Chen recalled that this person was the Young Marquis who had sent someone to assassinate him in the Soaring Dragon Great World.
He seemed to be Lan Luo's Seventh Brother. Xiao Chen remembered that he had clearly killed him.
However, it was not strange. At that time, he had left in a hurry and did not finish him off.
With the resources of the princess's residence and the presence of some experts, it was not surprising that they were able to save him.
Swish swish swish!
A group of guards appeared outside the door and surrounded Xiao Chen without any explanation.
However, Xiao Chen did not make a move. He only looked at the youth beside Monarch Yu.
Clearly, Lan Luo's eldest brother was the one with more prestige here.
"Let's go. There's nothing here."
Lan Luo's first brother waved his hand and dismissed the guard. Then, he said indifferently, "Seventh Brother, Young Master Xiao is an honored guest that Imperial Father specially invited. Watch your words. Otherwise, I don't mind kicking you out. "
Long Bo's expression was quite sullen. His enemy was right in front of him, but he was his father's honored guest.
He couldn't even take down Xiao Chen in his own home.
"Don't be arrogant. Sooner or later, I will teach you a lesson."
Long Bo waved his hand and withdrew with a resentful expression.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I don't mind killing you again."
"Whoosh!"
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, a huge commotion immediately broke out, shocking the Long Clan disciples. Then, the shock turned into enmity. For Xiao Chen to say such words in front of the Long Clan in the Marquis's Residence was somewhat mocking.
Even Lan Luo's eldest brother felt somewhat embarrassed, stunned for a moment.
"It looks like I am not very welcome. Goodbye."
Xiao Chen had always been a decisive person. When he saw the expressions of the others, he was not willing to remain here.
Had he known that this Long Bo would be here, he would have rejected him from the start.
However, it was clear that someone was not willing to let Xiao Chen leave.
"Young Master Xiao, please wait. Since you received the Marquis's Residence's invitation, you will be too disrespectful to the Marquis if you leave now. The Marquis's Residence rarely invites outsiders to its banquets. Young Master Xiao, please think about it. "
Monarch Yu said slowly as he held a cup of tea.
Immediately, the many Long Clan disciples burst into an uproar. It turned out that this person was protected by the Marquis's Residence. He was truly too arrogant and unreasonable.
Monarch Yu's simple words instantly isolated Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen thought for a while. If he left the banquet, it would indeed be disrespectful to the Marquis whom he had not met yet.
This put Lan Luo in a difficult position.
Then, Xiao Chen turned around and found a corner to sit beside Lan Luo again.
When Lan Luo saw Xiao Chen sit down, she heaved a clear sigh of relief.
Xiao Chen, it has been hard on you, Lan Luo sent a voice projection.
She had good intentions, but she had not expected things to turn out like this.
"It's fine. I did not handle it well."
There was indeed no need to get angry at an existence like Long Bo. Xiao Chen already felt much more at ease.
"Haha! Everyone is here."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with white hair at the temples walked in. He was wearing armor and strode in.
"Father."
"Third Uncle!"
"Lord Marquis!"
Everyone at the table stood up and greeted this person. Needless to say, this person was the overlord of the Soaring Dragon Marquis, the Soaring Dragon Marquis.
However, the Soaring Dragon Marquis looked ordinary, only exuding the might of a general.
There was nothing special about him, which was rather strange.
"I have been busy with military matters and rarely eat with everyone. Today, there are two honored guests coming to the banquet. Come, let me offer a toast to the two of you. "
The Soaring Dragon Marquis was rather straightforward. After indicating for everyone to sit down, he stood up and offered a toast to Xiao Chen and Monarch Yu.
Xiao Chen and Monarch Yu did not dare to be slow. They stood up at the same time and drained the wine in their cups in one go.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your hospitality."
The two took their seats and put down their wine cups.
The banquet officially began. Delicacies that were not sumptuous but had great value were served up.
At the table, the Soaring Dragon Marquis did not pay any attention to Xiao Chen and Monarch Yu.
As they chatted, they only talked about family matters and other minor matters.
"Your father does not put on any airs."
Xiao Chen said to Lan Luo, who was beside him.
However, Lan Luo replied somewhat helplessly, "In my impression, he has always been like this. He is neither warm nor cold to everything. You will never be able to see the true thoughts in your heart. I can't see through them either. "
For example, the Soaring Dragon Marquis had clearly called Xiao Chen over on purpose. However, he did not say anything to Xiao Chen during the banquet.
This disappointed Lan Luo, as well as a faint sense of disappointment.
"I heard that Monarch Yu wants to invite you to join the Divine Sword Pavilion."
Xiao Chen missed this topic and changed the topic.
A bright light flashed in Lan Luo's eyes. "What's wrong? Are you interested? Let's go together. The Divine Sword Pavilion is one of the few Rank 7 sects in the Yanwu Dynasty. Many of their disciples are powerful demonic geniuses who can rank on the Martial Monarch Ranking. "
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I am a bladesman. How can I go to the Divine Sword Pavilion?"
"That's true. I nearly forgot about that." Lan Luo frowned, appearing somewhat vexed. "In that case, I won't go, either."
On the other side, Monarch Yu looked at Lan Luo, who was conversing intimately with Xiao Chen. A hard-to-detect cold light flashed in his eyes.
Soon, someone suddenly stood up and offered a toast to Xiao Chen, "Young Master Xiao, you came from afar. Long Yun offers you a toast."
Since someone offered him a toast, he naturally had to return the favor.
After a cup of wine, Long Yun asked, "Young Master Xiao received Second Uncle's invitation at the same time as Monarch Yu. I believe you also come from a prestigious clan, right?"
Xiao Chen replied indifferently, "No, I am just a loose cultivator. This is my first time in the Central Great Realm."
These words caused another uproar. It was actually a rogue cultivator without a sect or sect.
Furthermore, he had only just arrived in the Central Great Realm. In their eyes, such a person was simply a country bumpkin.
When the others thought of themselves, they couldn't believe that they were sitting and eating with someone of such status.
Their expressions couldn't help but turn a little weird.
Monarch Yu revealed a surprised expression. "Unexpectedly, one of the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo, who caused a commotion last night, has just arrived in the Central Great Realm."
The Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo!
Monarch Yu's casual words successfully caused the expressions of these Long Clan disciples to change again.
This fellow did not speak much, but his words were filled with thorns, trying to isolate them.
When the Long Clan disciples thought about it, they found it somewhat funny. The so-called monarch's breadth of mind and boldness were only so-so.
