Lei Chen was a little confused, not knowing what was happening. Things seemed to be a little different from what he had expected.
Lei Yuan sat back down obediently in his seat, and this time, he did not dare to look at Jun Xie with the slightest disdain in his eyes.
The banquet had already begun and the courtesans entered the venue amidst the music, their slender waists swaying as they danced, their postures graceful, their lips curled up in smiles. The scene was like a blossoming flower, dazzling the group of youths who were still immature. They drank wine and feasted on the delicacies, indulging themselves in the luxuries of the Crown Prince's Residence. In their hearts, they yearned for this moment of extravagance and Lei Chen's banquet had stirred up the anticipation in the hearts of many of the youths.
After witnessing the riches of the Yan Country's Crown Prince, when they thought back to their own lives, they yearned even more for it.
Qiao Chu and the others were not interested in the wine and the appetizing dishes did not whet their appetites, which made them miss Ye Mei's culinary skills more and more.
Lei Chen's face was filled with a smile as he stared in satisfaction at the youths whose eyes were filled with longing and envy. This was the result he wanted. Regardless of whether they were the ones he wanted to win over, he wanted to show them his might. He knew very well that youths at that age would not be able to withstand the allure of such prosperity.
He subconsciously turned to look at Jun Xie, but Jun Xie's face did not show the longing he had been anticipating. He just sat there quietly, his eyes slightly lowered, as if the bustling scene before him had nothing to do with him. His eyes did not show any distractions, as if he stood alone from the world, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the Crown Prince's Residence.
The disciples of the Dragon Slayers Academy did not come looking for trouble with Jun Xie as Lei Chen had expected and that did not give Lei Chen a chance to show off his skills. The banquet he had meticulously prepared had won everyone's cheers, but Jun Xie was not among them, the one he had wanted to win over so badly.
Gu Li Sheng's Spirit Healing Technique was renowned throughout the lands and Lei Chen had secretly tried to get in touch with Gu Li Sheng, wanting to invite him to the Yan Country, to be of help to him. However, Gu Li Sheng had rejected the offer and Gu Li Sheng's Spirit Healing Technique had become Gu Li Sheng's greatest reliance and even Lei Chen did not dare to force Gu Li Sheng to submit to him, hence, he had shifted his sights onto Jun Xie.
But …..
This kid seemed to be indifferent to everything. Although he did not embarrass Lei Chen in any way, he did not give him any face either.
This was the first time that Lei Chen felt that he did not know where to start with his target. Frustrated that he was unable to win Jun Xie over to his side, even the wine that entered his mouth had lost some of its flavour, becoming tasteless and tasteless.
The banquet was very lively, but the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, who were supposed to be there, did not show up. Even after the banquet ended, the two of them still did not show up.
And throughout the entire course of the banquet, Lei Chen had been trying to strike up a conversation with Jun Xie but in the end, he did not even get a chance to speak as Jun Xie had his head lowered and did not say a single word. Lei Chen had no choice but to give up and turn to chat and joke with Qu Ling Yue for a long while.
Deep into the night, in the brightly lit Crown Prince's residence, the banquet was finally coming to an end. The youths who had not had enough left the banquet amidst the melodious music, reluctantly walking out of the Crown Prince's residence. Each of their faces were flushed with drunkenness as they turned back to look at the beautiful residence.
However, the youths from the Zephyr Academy did not even turn their heads back as they left the place. In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed that a little black cat had suddenly jumped into Jun Xie's arms.
