The banquet naturally didn't need the clan lord to personally host it. Instead, it was hosted by the Heaven Tier elites of the Jiang Clan. After the host gave a speech, the banquet officially began. Performances immediately appeared in the empty space in the north. The Spirit Race naturally had their own profound culture. Their songs and dances were completely different from those of the Heavenly Star River and had their own characteristics.
This wasn't the first time Lu An watched a performance by the Spirit Race. He had seen it once in the merchant association controlled by the Four Young Masters, but the scale couldn't be compared to this. However, whether it was Chu Xing's character or Lu An himself, they were completely uninterested in these performances. Lu An only sat quietly in his chair and looked around in boredom. Although there were maids continuously serving real delicacies, he didn't touch them at all. Wang Wei also appeared bored. She only occasionally tasted some delicacies and spent most of the time sitting.
Time passed slowly. Every few performances, someone would stand up to speak. Of course, the speaker would be the Jiang Clan's elites. During this period, the eldest daughter, Jiang Xiao, also spoke on behalf of the four children of Jiang Huai. This woman looked very arrogant from the inside out. Her arrogance was written on her face and in every detail of her body. The woman's appearance matched her arrogance very well. Her eyes were long and slender, and she had a naturally cold face. However, she was indeed quite good-looking. Although she couldn't be considered a top beauty, she was still considered a beauty.
As for the content of the woman's speech, it was mostly useless nonsense. It was basically just pleasantries. After a period of time, the atmosphere was completely heated up. Everyone started to walk around and greet each other. For a large clan like the Jiang Clan, many people wouldn't even see each other once in a few years. Most of the people were unfamiliar with each other. This was a good opportunity to interact and improve their relationship.
At this moment, a Jiang Clan's elite suddenly stood up and said loudly to everyone, "Everyone, please be quiet. Now, let's invite a very important person to speak!"
Once this was said, the entire banquet hall instantly quieted down. Lu An, who was already very quiet, slowly turned to look. He didn't know who was going to speak.
"Everyone knows that now that the war has begun, the entire Spirit Race needs to fight together!" This person said loudly, "So we can't just rely on our own clansmen to revive the Jiang Clan. We need many resolute helpers! It is precisely because of this that our Jiang Clan is recruiting heroes. None of the companions who are here today are untrustworthy, and none of them cannot become our close comrade-in-arms! They have sacrificed for our Jiang Clan, and our Jiang Clan also holds the greatest kindness and gratitude towards them! Therefore, I would like to invite the representative of our cooperation, Gao Qing, to give a speech! "
The representative of the partner?
Wang Wei was obviously stunned. She didn't expect that she would give a chance for a business partner to speak. This was also the first time. Lu An, on the other hand, remained calm and indifferent as he watched this scene with a bored expression on his face.
A tall man stood up at the front of the area, turned around to face everyone, and began to speak loudly.
The man's voice was very loud and full of confidence, indicating that the power of his bloodline was very solid. Without a doubt, the fact that this man could speak on behalf of all the partners proved that he was very strong. He was definitely not someone that Wang Wei and Lu An could afford to offend.
However … although this person was very strong, the content of his words was very empty. It was nothing more than an expression of loyalty. Even Wang Wei's brows furrowed more and more when she heard it.
Wang Wei was a very opinionated person. She was indeed very loyal to the Jiang Clan, but this wasn't because she wanted to ride on the Jiang Clan's coattails, but because she was a person of her words. As long as the Jiang Clan didn't betray her and was sincere in cooperating with her, she would do her job well. If the Jiang Clan did something wrong to her, she would definitely betray them.
After the man finished speaking, almost everyone in the banquet hall raised their hands and applauded. Wang Wei was the same, but her clapping seemed very casual. As for Lu An, he didn't applaud at all. His eyes were indifferent as he watched everything, but in his heart, he was wondering if there was a chance to communicate with the upper echelons of the Jiang Clan.
"It's all nonsense." Wang Wei whispered to Lu An, "Not a single useful word."
Lu An looked at Wang Wei. He didn't expect Wang Wei to ridicule him. He also whispered, "Be careful with your words. There are Heavenly Kings here. Be careful not to be heard."
Hearing Lu An's reminder, Wang Wei's heart tightened. She looked in the direction of the three Heavenly Kings. She knew that Chu Xing's reminder was right, so she didn't say anything else.
Gao Qing was the last person to speak. The arranged speech ended here. Now, it was time to completely communicate. The singing and dancing wouldn't stop, and the people moved around more frequently.
With Heavenly Kings around, Lu An shouldn't cultivate here. He couldn't close his eyes and attract too much attention. He could only watch the performance in front of him and think about cultivation. After a period of time, countless performances had been performed in the north. At this time, another group of performers appeared on the stage.
When these people went up the stage, Lu An's expression did not change, but his eyes became even more profound, and his heart became more solemn.
The aura of the people on stage … They weren't from the Spirit Race at all!
Not only were they not from the Spirit Race, they weren't even from the Spirit Star River! The ten women on the stage were all from the Heavenly Star River!
Not only Lu An, but the crowd also quietened down. Most people immediately looked towards the north to see the people on stage.
The music started, and the ten people danced.
The melody of the music was fundamentally different from the music of the Spirit Star River. Whether it was the scale or the style of the music, the music of the Heavenly Star River was grand and melodious. The strong parts weren't abrupt, and the weak parts weren't abrupt. Coupled with the dance of the ten women, it was different from the unrestrained dance of the Spirit Race. The dance of the women was graceful and elegant. It was a completely different scene.
Seeing the dance that he was familiar with in the Spirit Star River … made Lu An's divine sense very heavy. He didn't have any thoughts of appreciation. He only felt sad.
Most people were watching the performance. Even if they were talking, they were watching and talking. Even Wang Wei, who was beside Lu An, was the same. After all, this kind of performance wasn't something that could be seen everywhere. It wasn't easy to gather ten people from the Heavenly Star River to perform.
Looking at the performance in front of him, Lu An's divine sense was heavy, but he couldn't let his body change. He couldn't even change his heartbeat. This was because the change in his heartbeat would affect his aura, and others would notice his emotions. However, for Lu An, controlling his emotions without affecting his body was something that he learned before he was twelve years old. He looked at Wang Wei and asked casually, "I don't think their strength is very high. They won't live long here, right?"
"Of course." Wang Wei nodded and said, "Even Heaven Humans would be affected by the spirit energy of our Heavenly Star River. Their lifespan would be greatly reduced, and they might even go crazy before they die. Not to mention the people of the Heavenly Star River who aren't even Heaven Humans. They would die soon. Like the ten women on stage, unless they were kept in a place without any spirit energy. Otherwise, even if a trace of spirit energy touched them, they wouldn't even last half a month. "
"…"
Lu An looked at the ten women in front of him. He could only say sorry in his sea of consciousness.
He couldn't save them, nor did he have the ability to save them. The power of death in this banquet hall was very strong. After dancing here, the ten women would definitely be deeply affected by the power of death. The feeling of only being able to watch the people of the Heavenly Star River die was definitely not a good one.
"What's wrong?" Wang Wei looked at Lu An and said, "Do you feel sorry for them?"
"It's a pity." Lu An said.
"Tsk, I said that you men are all the same." Wang Wei snorted and said, "Seeing women from other Heavenly Star Rivers is something new. I even forgot that they are enemies."
Wang Wei was right. These ten women were all very beautiful. At least, each of them was more beautiful than Jiang Xiao. Moreover, the Spirit Race was very open about sex. Most of the men in the banquet hall showed covetous looks. Since these ten women were going to die anyway, they might as well have some fun before they died.
Lu An naturally wouldn't explain, but he also didn't look away because of the sadness in his heart. Instead, he kept watching the performance on stage.
He had to remember the death of his companions. Only then would he work harder to deal with the war.
