Not everyone in the Spirit Race needed to know how to dance. Most of the dances were done casually with their hands and feet. As for Lu An … he had never danced in his life, let alone blend in with these people.
Lu An was forcefully dragged to the center area. He saw the woman in front of him moving her body to the music. Compared to the messy dancing of the others, the woman was obviously much more beautiful and orderly. However, the problem was that Lu An, who was standing in front of the woman, did not move at all.
Lu An did not want to move at all. According to his current identity and personality, he should not move either.
The beautiful woman was dancing, but Lu An was like a wooden stake. He did not seem to fit in. The woman saw Lu An's state and became more interested. She said to Lu An, "You're called Chu Xing?"
"Mm," Lu An answered and didn't say anything else.
"I'm Jiang Xin." The woman said, "You're so boring. Aren't you afraid that no woman will like you? Or … do you already have a wife? "
Lu An looked at Jiang Xin and said, "I don't have a wife. I'm not worried about this."
"Are you so destitute?" Jiang Xin looked at Lu An and revealed a lazy and charming smile. She deliberately used a seductive voice to say, "I don't believe you."
"…"
To be honest, Jiang Xin's seductive methods could not be compared to Yue Rong's. It was like the difference in strength between a newborn baby and an adult. From Jiang Xin's seductive methods, Lu An summed up three words — vulgar, exaggerated, and childish.
When they first met, Lu An did not have a good impression of this woman.
Although Lu An had learned the Spirit Race's culture, he had never hated Li Han. This meant that to a large extent, it was not the Spirit Race's culture that was the problem, but the human race's.
The music continued to play. Who knew when it would stop? Lu An had no intention of staying here. He said, "I won't disturb Miss Jiang. I'm going back to drink."
With that, Lu An turned to leave. However, just as he was about to turn around, his hand was grabbed again.
The person who grabbed Lu An was naturally Jiang Xin. She stopped dancing and frowned as she looked at Lu An unhappily and said, "I asked you to dance with me, and you didn't appreciate it?"
Although the music was very loud, it was impossible for anyone in the banquet hall not to hear Jiang Xin's words. Even many people who were dancing stopped and looked in their direction.
Jiang Ping and the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce looked over as well. Jiang Ping frowned slightly. He had just said that no one would be able to escape the temptation of a beauty. Now, he had been slapped in the face. How could he feel good?
Moreover, the beauty in front of Lu An was none other than his daughter.
Faced with Jiang Xin's questioning, Lu An's emotions changed. He frowned and said, "There are so many people willing to dance with Miss Jiang. Why do you need me? I just want to drink. Is that wrong? "
"…"
Lu An's voice was very cold, but even so, everyone acknowledged it in their hearts. Indeed, people in the world had different personalities. Some liked to be cheerful, while others liked to be alone. What was wrong with that? Even in the Spirit Race civilization, they could not force others to do things they did not like. However, it was usually men who forced women to do things. It was rare to see women forcing men to do things. No one had expected to see this scene at the banquet. Everyone was in the Heaven Realm, and all of them were mature people. Chu Xing was indeed not wrong. No one could speak up for Jiang Xin.
However, when others thought that way, it made Jiang Xin lose face.
"You!" Jiang Xin was really angry. She looked at Lu An and scolded, "I saw that you were too lonely, so I came to find you out of kindness. Not only did you not appreciate it, but you even acted like I bullied you?!"
Lu An frowned and said, "Since that's the case, I appreciate Miss Jiang's kind intentions. Thank you for your kindness. There's no need to dance. I really don't have the mood. "
After speaking, Lu An freed his hand from Jiang Xin's grasp. Under everyone's gaze, he walked back to his table and sat down. He poured himself a glass of wine.
Everyone witnessed all of this with their own eyes. The scene became very awkward. Although there was still the sound of music, it was even more awkward. One of the signs of maturity was the ability to adapt to and ease this kind of situation. Everyone present was very mature and smart. After the deliberate actions of the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce and many partners, the banquet hall quickly became lively again. It was as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Ping also acted as if nothing had happened. Only Jiang Xin sat back at her table and looked at Lu An drinking alone in the distance. She had been suppressing anger in her heart.
Jiang Ping naturally saw his daughter's state. However, there were some things that he could stand up for his daughter, and some things that he could not. He was not an unreasonable person. Although Lu An was a bit of a loner, he was an interesting person.
Not only was he a loner, but he was also very strong. Perhaps it was related to another matter that he had come for today.
After a long time, the banquet was halfway through. Everyone became familiar with each other, and many people were chatting with each other. At this moment, the Chamber of Commerce's President suddenly opened his mouth and said to everyone, "Everyone, the Fourth Young Master has something to say!"
Hearing the President's voice, the entire banquet hall immediately quieted down. Everyone looked at Jiang Ping. Jiang Ping stood up again and said, "It's like this. Today, other than thanking everyone for cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce, I actually came here for another matter. This matter has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce, but it has something to do with the Jiang Clan. "
Something to do with the Jiang Clan?
Everyone was stunned and listened even more attentively.
"Everyone knows that we are now in a period of war with the Heavenly Star River. We have already gone through two large-scale battles, and we have also suffered many casualties." Jiang Ping looked at everyone and said, "The war is a matter of the entire Spirit Race. Most people participate in it, and only a few people do not. Everyone here is part of this small group."
Hearing Jiang Ping mention the war, everyone present was shocked. That's right. Before the war began, the various clans had united to mobilize and wanted all Heaven Realm cultivators to participate. However, in reality, only two-thirds of the people participated, and about one-third of the people did not. Without a doubt, everyone present was part of this one-third. When they heard Jiang Ping mention this matter, they immediately frowned.
They did not want to participate, but Jiang Ping had to mention this matter. How could they be happy? Moreover, by mentioning this matter at this time, what he said next would definitely not be related to the war. He might even want them to join the army.
However, Jiang Ping smiled and said, "Everyone, don't misunderstand. I definitely have no intention of asking everyone to join the army."
Hearing Jiang Ping say this, everyone's expression eased. Otherwise, even if they had to cut off their cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, they would not participate.
"The reason why I said this matter has something to do with the Jiang Clan is actually that the Jiang Clan wants to recruit more external helpers." Jiang Ping said, "The Jiang Clan is fighting on the front lines, so there will be some internal emptiness. There are many things that we do not have enough manpower. Therefore, we want to recruit some trustworthy people from the outside to work for the Jiang Clan. I promise that I will definitely not let you participate in the war. What you do is the Jiang Clan's own business, and the rewards will be very generous. Moreover, from now on, we will also treat you as a member of the Jiang Clan … Although the bloodline is different, as long as you are in trouble, it will be the Jiang Clan's trouble. "
"…"
After Jiang Ping finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other. If they could completely rely on the Jiang Clan's thigh, it would naturally be a good thing, but … it was now a time of war, and it was very likely that good things would turn bad.
They were not three-year-old children. If Jiang Ping said that he would not let them participate in the war, he would definitely not go back on his word. Once they joined the Jiang Clan, they would have to abide by the Jiang Clan's rules, and might even be watched over by the Jiang Clan. When that time came, they would not be able to act independently, and even if they wanted to leave, it might be too late.
"I know that many of you here have conflicts with other clans, and many of you have enemies. However, as long as you join the Jiang Clan, the Jiang Clan will help you shoulder these things. There is no need to hide and conceal your identity," Jiang Ping said. "As long as you join, the Jiang Clan will immediately send you a generous gift. The other clans are also recruiting talents, but not every clan has this kind of sincerity. "
