Yan Feng said coldly, "The Earl's name is Luo Hao. Although he is not honest, he is quite capable. The finances of Ice Snow City are under his control. The taxes that he pays to the Ice Moon Empire every year are definitely not less than the taxes that Ice Snow City pays. What he is most proud of is that he has a good daughter. Although Luo Rou is only 18 years old this year, she became famous ten years ago. When she was 8 years old, she participated in the triennial national exam of the Ice Moon Empire and obtained the first place. Furthermore, her score was much higher than the second place. She was known as a child prodigy. As she grew older, her intelligence became more and more apparent. It is said that the reason why the Chief Financial Officer was able to handle all the finances in an orderly manner was inseparable from this wise girl. Among the three beauties of Ice Snow City, the youngest wise girl is the leader. Wise Girl Luo Rou, Witch Long Ling, and Crazy Girl Xuejing. When the three of them are together, even the Marquis of Ice Snow City will give them some leeway. "
"Crazy Girl? Haha, she really lives up to her name. With her temper, this title is completely appropriate. "Hearing the three girls' nicknames, Nian Bing couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
Yan Feng's gaze fell on Nian Bing, "What's wrong? Do you know Xuejing? "
Nian Bing nodded and said, "Today I am her male companion, so of course I know her. What does brother Yan think of her? "
Yan Feng's eyes revealed a trace of surprise, "I didn't expect you to be Xuejing's male companion. What can I think of her? I only know that her father, Xue Ji, is the brother of one of the three marshals of the Ice Moon Empire, Blood Devouring Soul Destroying Snow Soul. Snow Soul is the head of the three marshals of the empire. He is known for his iron and blood style. As long as he goes to war, no one will survive. Therefore, he is also known as the Iron and Blood Marshal. Xue Ji is much more low-key than his brother. He only opened a restaurant in Ice Snow City called Breeze Restaurant. However, with his brother's prestige, no one dares to offend him. "
After knowing the background of the Snow Family, Nian Bing could not help but take a deep breath. To be able to open such a large bar in the middle of Snow Castle, it was definitely not a simple family.
Exclamations rang out at this moment. Everyone's eyes once again gathered on the stairs. They all shouted out two words at the same time, "Wise Woman, Wise Woman, Wise Woman …"
On the stairs, the first to appear were Xuejing and Long Ling. The two women, one in silver and one in purple, highlighted the two women's full and moving figures under the contrast of the tight-fitting dresses. When they stood together, Xuejing seemed to be fuller. Many years of martial arts training made her look healthy and lively. Although Long Ling was slightly slender, her gentle smile easily gave people a good impression.
Most of the men present had their eyes fixed on the stairs. Of course, this did not include Nian Bing and Yan Feng. At this moment, a blue figure appeared between Long Ling and Xuejing. She had a head of long blue hair that was slightly curly, as if it had not been combed. A pair of big blue eyes emitted a faint light. Without looking at her appearance, Nian Bing was deeply attracted to this pair of eyes. Those eyes were full of wisdom, deep like a divine pool in a valley. Although clear, but bottomless. In terms of appearance, among all the women that Nian Bing had seen before, perhaps only Feng Nu could compare with her. However, this Miss Luo Rou looked much more delicate, and there seemed to be a trace of sickly beauty between her eyebrows.
Nian Bing smiled, "No wonder Brother Yan said that the Count values women. Seeing the wise woman in person, I really have some doubts whether she is the Count's biological daughter."
Yan Feng looked at Nianbing, and a rare faint smile appeared on his face, "I don't know about that. However, you must not let the Count hear this, otherwise, he will be angry."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, invisibly closing the distance between them a little. At this moment, the Count had already arrived at the bottom of the stairs. The wise woman, Luo Rou, accompanied by Long Ling and Xuejing, slowly walked down. Luo Rou only stopped when she reached the stairs. She smiled and bowed to everyone present, "Today is Luo Rou's birthday. Thank you for coming. Luo Rou is honored."
Melodious birthday music sounded, and the entire hall was filled with a harmonious atmosphere. A cart was slowly pushed by two servants. On the cart, there was a huge cake with seven layers. There were eighteen blue candles lit on the cake. The lights in the hall dimmed, and only the candles were still bright. Other than Nian Bing and Yan Feng, all the guests present sang the birthday song. Luo Rou smiled gently, and put her hands together in front of her chest. She closed her eyes and made a wish. After a while, when she opened her eyes, there was a smile on her face, "Silence. Ling 'er, let's blow together."
The three girls opened their mouths at the same time, and the eighteen candles were extinguished in the fragrance. The lights in the hall were lit again, and the birthday ceremony was over. Luo Rou took the table knife and made the first cut. She cut a small gap in the top layer of the cake. She raised the knife and dipped it in a layer of milky white cream. Luo Rou smiled, "There are many guests present. Luo Rou's body is not very good. I wonder if I can ask a young master to come up and help me cut this cake. Luo Rou does not have a male partner today. I am willing to dance with this young master." As soon as she said this, it caused an uproar. All the young nobles who thought they were qualified raised their hands high, and they all fought to be first, hoping to get Luo Rou's approval.
Nian Bing looked at Yan Feng, "Brother Yan, are you not interested?"
Yan Feng said indifferently, "Not interested. If you are willing, I can lend you a hand."
Nian Bing smiled, "Okay! Then I will have to trouble Brother Yan. "
Yan Feng's eyes showed a trace of surprise, "You really want to go?"
Nian Bing smiled, "Why not? To be able to dance with the wise woman, it is not a waste for me to come here. Brother Yan, it seems like we have to hurry. Otherwise, Miss Luo Rou will be chosen. "
Yan Feng looked deeply at Nian Bing and nodded, "Okay, I will help you. Follow behind me." After he finished speaking, he walked towards the densest part of the crowd. A faint white Dou Qi emitted from Yan Feng's body. All the nobles fell to the sides when they came in contact with this Dou Qi. They wanted to be angry, but when they saw Yan Feng's cold face, they couldn't help but restrain themselves. Yan Feng's actions immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Xuejing. Other than Yan Feng himself and Nian Bing, everyone felt that Yan Feng was going to cut the cake for Luo Rou. In an instant, the voices weakened. It was as if no one was willing to fight with him. He didn't use his Battle Energy to force them back and naturally opened up a path.
Xuejing's expression changed slightly. She came today mainly for Yan Feng. Now that she saw that Yan Feng was going to cut the cake for her best friend, her feelings immediately became complicated.
Luo Rou saw Yan Feng walking towards her and couldn't help but smile, "Young Master Yan, are you going to help me cut the cake? It is my honor. "
Yan Feng walked in front of the cake and glanced at Luo Rou and the other two girls. He nodded to the Count beside him, "No, it is not me. It is a friend of mine. I hope Miss Luo Rou can give him this opportunity." After he finished speaking, he leaned to the side. Only then did everyone notice the magician in a fiery red robe behind him. Long Ling and Xue Jing couldn't help but exclaim softly when they saw him appear. They revealed doubtful gazes. When Luo Rou saw Nian Bing's handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but flash with a strange light. In an instant, Nian Bing became the focus of the entire banquet.
Nian Bing walked to Yan Feng's side and calmly looked at the three girls in front of him. He smiled, "Miss Luo Rou, may I be of service?"
"No." Before Luo Rou could open her mouth, Xuejing rushed to shout. After shouting these two words, she realized that she was too anxious. Feeling the doubtful gazes of the crowd, she couldn't help but say, "I, I mean that his status is not enough."
Yan Feng coldly said, "Crazy Xuejing, no wonder you are called crazy. Are you going to go crazy at Miss Luo Rou's birthday banquet? He is my friend. Just this point alone is enough for me to accept him. "
Hearing Yan Feng speak, Xuejing couldn't say anything. She fiercely glared at Nian Bing and didn't say anything.
Nian Bing didn't seem to notice Xuejing's glare. He continued to look at Luo Rou, who had the same blue eyes as him, "May I be of service?"
Although Luo Rou had the same doubts in her heart, she was worthy of her title as a wise woman. Under such circumstances, she smiled slightly and said, "Jing Jing bowed just now. I apologize to you on her behalf. There is no distinction of status at Luo Rou's birthday banquet. Every guest who attends is Luo Rou's friend. Sir, please." As she spoke, she handed the table knife in her hand to Nian Bing.
A simple sentence instantly dispelled the awkward atmosphere. Nian Bing walked to Luo Rou's side and nodded slightly. "Ladies, please step back to prevent the cream from staining your clothes."
Luo Rou glanced at Nian Bing and stepped back with Long Ling and Xuejing. Nian Bing held the handle of the knife. Although it was a different knife, with his knife sense, he could clearly feel the presence of the table knife. Glancing at the plates on the dining cart, Yan Feng came to his side and handed the first plate to him. Nian Bing smiled. "This first piece is naturally for today's birthday girl, Miss Wise Lady."
There was a flash of light. Other than Yan Feng, who was beside Nian Bing, no one saw how he moved. A piece of cake was neatly placed on the plate. Even more strangely, the cream on the table knife was gone. The rest of the cake was cut neatly and the cream was not touched at all. Nian Bing passed the plate to Wise Lady behind him. "This cake is my birthday gift to Miss Wise Lady."
Even with Wise Lady's intelligence, she did not understand Nian Bing's meaning. Long Ling could not help but say, "This is clearly Rou 'er's cake. How can it be considered a gift from you?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Miss Wise Lady, taste it and you will know. This is the only special piece of cake today."
Luo Rou's gaze met with Nian Bing's. She was surprised to find that she could not see through this exceptionally handsome man in front of her. She took the spoon from the servant and cut a small piece of cake into her mouth. In the process of cutting, she found that the cake was a little hard. When the cake entered her mouth, Luo Rou could not help but exclaim, "It's so cold!" The originally fragrant and greasy cake now had a hint of sweetness to it. The ice-cold cream and cake melted in her mouth, and the sweet and refreshing aroma immediately filled her mouth and nose. Luo Rou's spirit was lifted, and her originally pale face had a hint of redness.
Nian Bing smiled and said, "How is it?" Using ice magic into the cake seemed simple, but the control of the fire was extremely important. If too little ice magic was used, then the taste of the cake would be worse. If too much ice magic was used, then the cake would become a lump of ice and could not be eaten. Perhaps only a magician like Nian Bing, who was born as a chef, could control it so well.
Luo Rou's eyes flashed. She nodded at Nianbing and said, "Thank you, sir. Luo Rou is very satisfied with this gift. It's been a long time since I've eaten something that made me want to eat more. I wonder if Young Master can let my two sisters have the same taste? "
The nobles present naturally did not understand the meaning of their conversation. However, Luo Rou did not seem to be lying. For a moment, they could not help but look at Nian Bing with curiosity.
Nian Bing smiled faintly and a trace of cold arrogance appeared on her face. "I'm sorry, Miss Luo Rou. I said that only you can taste this special gift today." Nian Bing turned around and his knife flashed continuously. Piece after piece of cake fell onto an empty plate under the effect of the knife. After every ten slashes, Nian Bing would wait for a while so that Yan Feng, who was beside him, could distribute the cake. There were many people present who were familiar with martial arts. They could all tell that Nian Bing was not using Battle Energy. He was only relying on his skillful knife skills and extraordinary wrist strength to achieve such an effect. The control of his strength was extremely mystical. Every piece of cake was completely undamaged and was exactly the same size. However, when the cake entered the mouths of the nobles, it still tasted the same.
When Nian Bing took the last piece of cake into her hands, the seven layers of cake had just been distributed. Everyone had a piece, no more and no less. In addition, every piece was the same size. This was clearly calculated.
Luo Rou had already eaten half of the cake in her hands. Looking at Nian Bing who had finished distributing the cake, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect Young Master to finish distributing the cake so quickly."
Nian Bing walked in front of Luo Rou with the cake in her hands and said with a smile, "If it was someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to dance with Miss." At first glance, distributing the cake was a very easy task. However, if it was an ordinary person, it would take a long time to distribute more than a hundred pieces of cake. Taking advantage of this time, the ball would have already started. Luo Rou could use the excuse of waiting for the person to cut the cake as an excuse to refuse other people's invitation to dance. When the person who cut the cake was done, she could also find an excuse to refuse. Such scheming was indeed worthy of the title of 'wise woman'. When Nian Bing said that she would ask someone to cut the cake for her, she had already seen through everything. Although this wise woman looked gentle and peaceful on the surface, she was actually very sharp. The arrogance in her heart could only be seen through by a wise person.
Luo Rou knew that Nian Bing had seen through her plan. Half of the cake in her hands had already been eaten. At this time, the eyes of the three beauties of Ice City all fell on him. Luo Rou's eyes were filled with provocation, Long Ling's eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry, and Xuejing's eyes were the most obvious. There was also a hint of curiosity in her anger.
Luo Rou said in a clear voice, "After eating the cake, everyone is free to participate in the ball. Luo Rou will now keep her promise and dance the first song with this Mr. Magician. Music."
Luo Rou extended her right hand towards Nian Bing as the melodious music started playing. Nian Bing smiled and took her small hand. Naturally, he hugged her slender waist, which seemed like it could break at any moment. He slid his feet and stepped onto the dance floor. The guests consciously scattered to the two sides, giving them the middle of the dance floor. Although Nian Bing's dancing skills were a little rusty, she gradually became more natural with the music.
The fragrance on Luo Rou's body was very light, but it left a deep impression on Nian Bing. It was similar to the fragrance of orchids. Holding her soft little hand in his palm was indescribably comfortable. Their blue eyes stared deeply into each other's. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a gaze of deep affection. However, Nian Bing and Luo Rou knew that the other party was giving them a challenging look.
Luo Rou's cherry lips trembled. In a voice that only Nian Bing could hear, she said, "Where did you come from? I can be sure that you are not from this city. Because there are very few blondes in the Ice Moon Empire. "
Nian Bing smiled and replied in the same low voice, "Indeed, I just came to Ice City not long ago. Miss, you naturally haven't seen me on various occasions. I have long heard of your reputation as a wise woman. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation. It is indeed my honor to be able to dance with you. "
Luo Rou's clear eyes showed a trace of dissatisfaction, "As the saying goes, don't lie in front of a famous person. Why do you have to use such a jack of all trades? Can you tell me who you came with? Yan Feng has never casually interacted with others. Today, he also came by himself. I believe that you two have just met not long ago. To be able to get him to help you, it seems that you have quite the charisma! "
Nian Bing said without batting an eyelid, "Perhaps it is because I am fated with Brother Yan. It is not difficult for Miss Luo Rou to know where I come from. You just have to ask your good sister."
Luo Rou's eyes showed surprise for the first time, as if she had thought of something, "Could it be, could it be that you are the fake boyfriend that came with Silence?"
Nian Bing said indifferently, "As expected of a good sister. You already know this, why do you need me to explain anything?"
Luo Rou's eyes showed that she was deep in thought. Nian Bing continued to look at her with a burning gaze. Luo Rou knew that in her first confrontation with Nian Bing, she had already lost. She had lost because of Nian Bing's mysteriousness. Since she was young, this was the first time she had tasted defeat. She couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of this young man in front of her.
The surrounding guests looked at the man and woman on the dance floor with envy and admiration. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was stunningly beautiful. They were like a golden couple. Even Luo Rou's father, the old Count, couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. He had hosted many social events, but this was the first time he had seen someone whose looks and figure were worthy of his precious daughter.
The music came to an end. Nian Bing's large hands led Luo Rou in two beautiful circles. Nian Bing's right hand reached out and wrapped around her waist, causing her to lean back. At the same time, she took half a step forward, her face close to Luo Rou's. Her eyes revealed a faint smile, and she said in a normal voice, "Miss Luo Rou's dance is beautiful. Compared to you, I am much more unfamiliar." With a slight force, Luo Rou straightened her back. She glanced at Nian Bing, her eyes full of charm, "Sir, you are too modest. Although you are unfamiliar with dancing, you have completely integrated into the music. With a little more time, Luo Rou will definitely not be able to match you. Alright, distinguished guests, please dance to your heart's content. " After announcing the official start of the dance party, Luo Rou held Nian Bing's hand and walked to the side of the dance floor. She couldn't hold back her curiosity and wanted to ask her good friend clearly.
Xuejing seemed to have forgotten about Nian Bing. She stood beside Yan Feng and whispered, "Aren't you going to dance?"
Yan Feng glanced at her coldly and said calmly, "Sorry, I don't know how to dance. And I definitely won't dance with the woman who just humiliated my friend. "
Xuejing was slightly angry, "Your friend? How long have you known him? Could it be that in your heart, he is more important than me? "
Yan Feng glanced at Xuejing impatiently, "No, you are wrong. Not more important, but much more important. "
Hearing the first few words, Xuejing's eyes revealed a trace of joy. But when she heard the last sentence, her healthy complexion immediately lost all color and she almost fainted. "Alright, Yan Feng, remember this."
"Silence, come, I have something to ask you." At this moment, Luo Rou's voice sounded. Xuejing turned around and saw Luo Rou holding Nian Bing's hand and walking to the side of the dance floor. When she saw Nian Bing, she immediately became angry. She thought to herself, Damn Nian Bing, damn Nian Bing, you are dead today. While thinking, she didn't care about her previous ladylike demeanor and walked over with large strides.
Shi Jiu wanted to ask Long Ling to dance with him, but he was stopped by Luo Rou. Nian Bing smiled, "Big brother Shi Jiu, Ling 'er, hello. I didn't expect to see you here today."
Long Ling frowned, "I really didn't expect it! Nian Bing, you are an ice magician. Why are you wearing a fire magician's robe today? Also, your level isn't right! These clothes are a bit familiar. "
Xuejing, who had just walked over, only heard the last sentence. She snorted, "Of course it's familiar. Didn't I borrow his clothes and magic staff from you?"
Luo Rou looked at Nian Bing in confusion, but didn't say anything. But the dragon spirit opened his eyes wide and said, "What? Jingjing, this is the split you were talking about … "
Xuejing didn't want to give Nian Bing any face in front of her sisters. She fiercely said, "That's right, he is the one who chopped the firewood. I didn't expect him to play tricks. "
Nian Bing smiled faintly, "Jing 'er, I didn't play any tricks! I helped your good friend cut the cake, isn't that fitting for this disguise? Don't forget, I am now your boyfriend. I know you want to ask why I have such skilled knife skills to cut the cake. It's actually very simple. After chopping firewood for so many years, I naturally became proficient. No matter what it is, it's all the same. " He wasn't lying, so his eyes were very calm. Luo Rou, who had already confirmed something, couldn't help but doubt her own judgment when she saw this calm expression.
Xuejing said angrily, "You, you did it on purpose, didn't you? Tell me, what did you say to Yan Feng just now? "
Nian Bing said faintly, "I only said hello to Brother Yan. He isn't like what you described. He doesn't give people a comfortable feeling when interacting with him."
Xuejing could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, "Get out, get out of here. I'll deal with you when we get back." Nian Bing's change and Yan Feng's indifference completely enraged this crazy woman.
"Silence," Luo Rou said unhappily. After all, Nian Bing had just danced with her for the first time and had already become the most important guest. If she was driven out by Xuejing, then there was no need for the banquet to continue.
Nian Bing smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, Miss Xuejing, I didn't sell you as a slave. Everyone has their own pride, I hope you can watch your words. Moreover, you don't have the power to drive out a great magician, am I right? " Ling'er. "As he spoke, he turned his gaze toward Long Ling, who had already become dumbstruck due to shock.
Xuejing's voice became sharp. In her anger, she had already forgotten where she was, "Great magician? Are you talking about yourself? Who do you think you are? "
"Silence." Luo Rou and Long Ling shouted at the same time. Long Ling had already woken up and walked between Nian Bing and Xuejing. She said in a low voice, "Silence, no matter what conflict you have between you, today is Rou 'er's birthday. Don't be a downer. Moreover, Nian Bing is right. With his position in our union, you really don't have the power to drive him out. "
Xuejing was stunned, "Ling 'er, you really know him?"
Long Ling nodded, "Silence, although I don't know what misunderstanding there is between you two, there is one thing I can be sure of. Do you remember the new great magician I told you about? It's Nian Bing! He is younger than me but has already reached the level of a great magician. He is deeply acknowledged by my father and several other magicians. "
Luo Rou nodded and held out her remaining cake, "I can prove this with this cake that looks like ice cream."
Xuejing was stunned, completely stunned. She had never thought that Nian Bing, who had always been weak in her eyes, would actually be a genius magician. This sudden contrast was hard for her to accept, but she clearly knew that Long Ling and Luo Rou would never lie to her. Everything was true. Her gaze suddenly became cold. After staring at Nian Bing, her emotions became calm. "Rou 'er, I'm sorry. I can't continue to attend your birthday party. I'll come another day to apologize. I'll leave first. "After saying that, she walked out with calm steps and elegantly walked out. Luo Rou and Long Ling, who were familiar with her, knew that Xuejing was on the verge of erupting like a volcano. They were afraid that this matter could not be settled peacefully.
"Nian Bing, what's going on?" Shi Jiu, who had been silent all this time, could not help but ask.
Nian Bing smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. It's just a misunderstanding between me and Miss Xuejing. Big brother Shi Jiu, with such beautiful music, aren't you going to invite Miss Xuejing for a dance?"
Shi Jiu was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted. Nianbing responded with a grateful smile and extended his right hand in a gentlemanly manner. Long Ling had no reason to refuse Shi Jiu. Although she still wanted to ask clearly, she had no choice but to slide onto the dance floor with Shi Jiu.
Nian Bing stood there calmly, watching the couples on the dance floor. His mood was very relaxed. This time, he could completely leave the Cool Breeze Study.
"Don't you think this is very cruel to Silence?" Luo Rou stood beside Nian Bing and said faintly.
"Cruel? I don't think so. Miss Luo Rou, you're known as a wise woman. In your opinion, with Xuejing's nature, shouldn't she suffer some setbacks? "Nian Bing turned to look at Luo Rou.
Luo Rou frowned slightly. "So you're saying that you're still helping her?"
Nian Bing said faintly, "At least that's what I think. Xuejing helped me before. Although I hid my identity as a magician from her, I don't have any ill intentions towards her. To be honest, if she was a man, I might really take revenge on her for all the insults she's given me these days. However, she's a woman after all. There's nothing to fight over with a woman. That's why I chose to reveal my identity today. Perhaps you think that I've hurt Xuejing, but we can't even be considered friends. She's not sad, she's just angry. Do you think I'd care if another person hates me? You're a wise woman and Xuejing is your friend. If you can guide her to change her current temper and way of speaking, perhaps she won't suffer so much in the future. "
Luo Rou's expression became a bit strange. "Just who are you? I really don't understand why you're doing all this. "
Nian Bing smiled faintly and said, "I'm just an ordinary magician. Didn't you already hear from Ling Er? I'm an ice magician who just joined the magician's guild. "
Luo Rou smiled. "Nian Bing, that should be your name. You've already aroused my interest. "Just like a mouse smelling a cat, Nian Bing couldn't help but shiver.
"Miss Luo Rou, if you want to investigate my background, then you can do whatever you want. I'm really sorry for disturbing your birthday party today, but to be able to meet a wise woman, I'm very happy. If there's a chance in the future, Nian Bing will definitely pay you a visit. I'll have to trouble you to tell Ling Er that I'm going back to the guild first. If she wants to find me, she can go to the library. "
Luo Rou said with a bit of disappointment, "You're leaving now?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Even if I don't leave, I'm afraid that Miss Luo Rou won't be willing to dance with me again. That's why I'm leaving. I don't like the feeling of being the target of public criticism. "
Luo Rou's expression changed. "Then will you still return to the Clear Wind Sect?" She wanted to say 'So what if I dance with you again?', but when the words reached her mouth, she didn't say it.
