At this moment, the banquet hall in the center of Nalan Empire's imperial palace was already splendid. Multicolored magic lamps were either inlaid or hung in every corner of the hall. Ministers and their family members dressed in all kinds of formal attire filled the hall. The noise lingered in the ears.
Longyi and Nalan Ruyue stood on the second floor and looked at the endless crowd below. They couldn't help but have a headache. To be honest, both of them weren't too interested in this kind of occasion. They still remembered that when they saluted in Soaring Dragon City, those complicated etiquettes almost made them collapse. They didn't know if Nalan Empire would make it simple or not.
At that time, Nalan Wuji entered the banquet hall with several beloved concubines. For a moment, some powerful ministers and nobles came over to flatter him. This was the custom of Blue Waves Continent. In some informal occasions like banquets, monarchs and ministers were very casual.
"Princess, it's time to go down." A palace maid beside her reminded in a low voice.
"Then let's go down, my beautiful princess." Longyi turned towards Nalan Ruyue and said with a smile. He raised his right elbow and signaled Nalan Ruyue to hold his arm.
Nalan Ruyue shyly smiled and held Longyi's arm. Then, she gracefully walked down the stairs.
The appearance of both of them immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Longyi had a confident and unrestrained smile on his face. As for Nalan Ruyue, her beautiful face was slightly red. Coupled with her fairy-like appearance and noble and reserved temperament, they were simply a perfect match. For a moment, everyone endlessly praised them.
Longyi and Nalan Ruyue arrived in front of Nalan Wuji. Then, he looked at the two gorgeous youths beside him. He looked at the decorative patterns on their clothes. They should be the two good-for-nothing sons of Nalan Wuji. They were the half-brothers of Nalan Ruyue and Nalan Ruyue. According to the information given to him by Ximen Huo, one of them was a warrior and the other was a magician. Their ranks weren't high, one was a Swordsman and the other was an Intermediate Magician. The Warrior Profession's name was Nalan Wu, and the Magician Profession's name was Nalan Wen. Both of them and Ximen Yu could be regarded as jackals of the same lair.
"Father emperor, big brother." Nalan Ruyue faintly greeted them. Her beautiful eyes had a trace of disgust.
Nalan Wuji smiled and nodded with a kind and respectful look on his face, but who knew that he was a cold-blooded, cunning and ruthless person? For the sake of profit, he could sacrifice everything.
"Brother-in-law, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Deng, you must accompany us for a drink tomorrow. We really admire you, and we have some questions that we would like to ask you." When the Nalan Wu brothers saw Longyi, they were extremely excited. They thought that they had found a brother who shared the same interests as them.
Long Yi said a few perfunctory words, but in his heart, he said. Poor Nalan Wuji's painstakingly built empire. If the empire fell into the hands of these two brothers, hehe. At that time, it would be fun.
It was almost time for the salute, but Nalan Wuji was chatting with several favored ministers with a smile, without the slightest intention of announcing the salute.
"Your Majesty, it's time, should we …" A minister next to Nalan Wuji reminded.
Nalan Wuji smiled and said, "We still have to wait for someone to preside over it. It doesn't matter if it's a little late."
"Your Majesty, shouldn't the bishop of Blue Moon City preside over the ceremony?" The minister asked in a strange tone.
Nalan Wuji smiled mysteriously and said, "Naturally not. You will know when the time comes. "
When the ministers saw that Nalan Wuji didn't say anything, they no longer asked and changed the topic.
Longyi was accompanying Nalan Ruyue to deal with the crowd that was swarming over, when he suddenly felt two familiar eyes looking at him. He subconsciously turned his head, but found that all he could see was a wall of people, and those two familiar eyes also disappeared.
"Strange, I don't know anyone in Blue Moon City." Long Yi muttered. To say that he knew probably only a few members of the Lightning Mercenary Group, but today's banquet was only for the officials of Nalan Empire and the great nobles, other people didn't have the opportunity to come in.
At this time, Longyi suddenly heard a young man's call, "Yinyin, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time. "
Longyi's body stagnated, Yinyin? In his mind, a delicate and stubborn face appeared. That girl who wholeheartedly loved Feng Ling, that tomboy girl, but shouldn't she be in Mea Holy Magic Academy? Long Yi's thoughts changed, and he suddenly understood. Yinyin was the Miss of Nalan Empire's noble family, so it wasn't strange for her to appear here. Now, it had already been a long time since he left Mea Principality, so her return was also very normal.
Longyi pushed through the crowd, and sure enough, he saw a familiar tall figure not far away. If it wasn't Yinyin, then who could it be? Today, she was wearing a black evening dress, which made her figure look exquisite and well-proportioned. On her chest, there was a sparkling blue brooch, making her look somewhat cold and elegant.
That young man who was entangling Yinyin was precisely Nalan Ruyue's elder brother, Nalan Wu, and Yinyin clearly had an impatient look on her face.
"Yinyin, it really is you, I thought my eyes were blurred." Long Yi walked over in large strides.
"Long … … Young Master Ximen, congratulations." Yinyin looked at Longyi with a somewhat complicated gaze. This man who had snatched her lover, sometimes, she really didn't know how to face him. But towards him, Yinyin's heart also had a kind of gratefulness. At that time, if it wasn't for his consolation, perhaps she wouldn't have the courage to continue living. She remembered that at that time, she threw herself into his bosom and cried loudly. Thinking about it, she truly felt somewhat ashamed.
"You two know each other?" Nalan Wu asked in surprise.
"Yes, we have some special relationship." Longyi ambiguously winked towards Nalan Wu.
Nalan Wu was dumbfounded, and an unhappy expression appeared on his face, but it immediately disappeared, and he said to Longyi with a smile: "So it turned out to be brother-in-law's girl, why didn't you say so earlier, I will go look for my next target, you have to be careful, my little sister will become fierce, she will eat people." After speaking, Nalan Wu drilled into the crowd to hunt.
Yinyin's beautiful face turned slightly red, and she rolled her eyes at Longyi: "What nonsense are you talking about, who has a special relationship with you?"
"Hehe, isn't our relationship special enough?" Longyi mischievously laughed.
Yinyin was startled, and her beautiful face turned from red to white. Obviously, Longyi's words had evoked her sad past. Speaking of the relationship between her and Longyi, it was indeed very special.
"Thank you." Yinyin said in a low voice.
Longyi lightly sighed, then lightly asked: "You still haven't let it go?"
