The Third Prince came gracefully before Qin Keqing and said: "For Miss Qin to be able to attend this gathering, it is truly an honour."
Qin Keqing nodded slightly: "The Third Prince is too kind."
"Is this a friend of Miss Qin?" The Third Prince turned his gaze towards Jun Wu Xie and said with a smile: "To be able to be friends with Miss Qin, I wonder which family are you from?"
Jun Wu Xie heard the Third Prince's words and he couldn't help but be startled.
Could it be that in order to be friends with Qin Keqing, one must be from a powerful family or a powerful Sect?
"Come, let me introduce you to the Third Prince." Qin Keqing looked at Jun Wu Xie and smiled at the Third Prince: "This is Jun Wu Xie, my friend, a prodigy who cultivates both sword and body."
"Third Prince."
Jun Wu Xie stood up and nodded his head in greeting.
"Cultivating both sword and body. In the entire world of Cultivators, such a person is as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn." The Third Prince smiled elegantly and said: "I wonder where Young Master Jun's Master came from?"
"The Third Prince is too kind." Jun Wu Xie smiled faintly: "I am but a wandering cultivator. I was lucky enough to stumble upon half a manual of the Body Cultivation Technique and have no Master."
"Wandering cultivator?" The smile on the Third Prince's face froze but he quickly recovered his elegant demeanour and said: "As the ancients say, a hero's background does not matter. Young Master Jun need not belittle himself."
Jun Wu Xie smiled but did not say anything. The slight change in the Third Prince's expression had been noticed by him.
People of the Imperial Family were still realistic.
They naturally valued those who came from powerful families.
After all, only those who came from powerful families were worthy of being associated and roped in. In the future struggle for Imperial power, they would be a great help.
The Third Prince's gaze once again returned to Qin Keqing's body. The smile on his face was as warm as the spring breeze: "Miss Qin, would you be willing to move and sit in my private room for a moment?"
"No need. It's very lively here." Qin Keqing flatly refused. "Third Prince, please take care."
"Since that's the case, this consort won't force you. I hope that Miss Qin will have fun."
The Third Prince's smile was still there as he said his goodbyes gracefully. But the moment he turned around, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch a few times.
He didn't expect that Qin Keqing wouldn't give him any face.
Not only did she reject him, she even asked him to leave?
In the banquet hall, although everyone was chatting in twos and threes, they were also paying attention to the situation here.
Who was that elegant and beautiful woman?
The Third Prince had personally come forward, and it seemed that he had been given the cold shoulder.
Who was the green-clothed young man sitting at the same table as that woman? Seeing how they were chatting so harmoniously, it seemed that their relationship was quite good.
"He might be different from what you think."
Bu Yunfei came to the front of several people who were talking about the identities of Qin Keqing and Jun Wu Xie. He very casually clinked glasses with them one by one.
"Young Master Bu, do you know them?"
Several people were very curious and looked at him one after another.
"I don't know that woman." Bu Yunfei raised his head and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He said indifferently: "That green-clothed young man is just a Loose Practitioner."
"A Loose Practitioner?"
Several young men and women revealed strange expressions.
"Bu Yunfei, are you making fun of us?"
Yu Wei didn't believe it. He and Bu Yunfei were both young masters of the Six Great Families in the capital, and they usually had a good relationship.
The others also expressed their disbelief.
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Bu Yunfei said with a trace of ridicule: "When I came here, I met this person at the door. He said that he was a Loose Practitioner himself. Didn't you notice just now? That woman obviously introduced this person to the Third Prince, but when the Third Prince left, he didn't even look at him. "
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case …" Nie Xiaowu, the young mistress of one of the Six Great Families, recalled and then chuckled: "I was wondering what kind of background he had. He is just a Loose Practitioner. It seems that woman's taste is not very good."
Wang Qin, one of the young masters of the Six Great Families, teased: "Xiaowu, are you jealous that she is prettier than you?"
"Haha, jealous?" Nie Xiaowu raised her beautiful face slightly and said proudly: "Does she deserve it?"
…
In the corner of the banquet hall, Qin Keqing looked at Jun Wu Xie apologetically and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this. The Third Prince is a little shallow. He has no taste to look down on you."
"Why are you apologizing?" Jun Wu Xie smiled faintly: "I have no intention of befriending anyone, especially someone from the Royal Family."
"Wuxie, you don't mean what you say." Qin Keqing's eyes sparkled and said: "What about Ji Inran? Isn't she also a member of the Royal Family? Does that count as befriending the two of you? "
"She is different from the Third Prince."
"What's the difference?"
"Well, Sister Keqing, are you talking about the beautiful sister who sent my brother the invitation?"
Little Yueyao, who was eating grapes, blinked her big eyes and interrupted.
"Yes."
Qin Keqing patted little Yueyao's head.
Jun Wu Xie smiled and said: "The world in her eyes will not be in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future. She will not participate in the struggle for the Royal Family."
"So you don't want to be involved in the whirlpool of the struggle for the Royal Family. You see it clearly."
Qin Keqing was a little surprised. Although Jun Wu Xie had amazing potential, he was still from a small city family. Normally, he would not realize these things so quickly.
But he seemed to have noticed these things a long time ago.
Jun Wu Xie glanced at little Yueyao, who was eating with relish, and said to Qin Keqing: "I don't want to attract unnecessary trouble."
At this moment, the lively banquet hall suddenly quieted down.
"Muyang Qingya is here!"
Someone cried out in surprise.
Jun Wu Xie followed everyone's gaze and saw a woman appear at the entrance of the banquet hall.
She was wearing a long yellow dress with flowers on the ground. She walked in leisurely, her waterfall-like black hair gently dancing as she walked.
This woman's facial features were exquisite beyond compare. She was comparable to Qin Keqing, but her temperament was completely different.
Qin Keqing belonged to the elegant and quick-witted type, while this woman belonged to the sexy type.
As soon as she appeared, she instantly became the focus of the entire banquet hall.
Jun Wu Xie saw that the eyes of all the men here were blazing, and some of them were even short of breath.
"Qingya is here. I can't stay here."
Qin Keqing gave Jun Wu Xie an apologetic look.
"The daughter of the Muyang family you mentioned is her?"
"Yes, the number one beauty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Muyang Qingya. If I continue to sit here, I'm afraid you will really become the target of public criticism today. "
Qin Keqing teased, then got up and walked towards Muyang Qingya.
"Keqing, I'm sorry I'm late. You've been waiting for a long time, right?" Muyang Qingya's smile was very charming, like strong wine, intoxicating.
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "I've only been here for a while."
"Keqing, who is that?" Muyang Qingya obviously noticed Jun Wu Xie, who was sitting at the same table as Qin Keqing, and said jokingly: "Let me guess … it's not someone you like, right?"
"Qingya, don't talk nonsense. We're just ordinary friends. We've only known each other for a few days."
"Is that so?"
Muyang Qingya had a look of disbelief.
"Princess Qingya." Bu Yunfei stepped forward and said in a low voice: "That person is the rogue cultivator guest invited by the seventh princess."
He deliberately emphasized the seventh princess and the rogue cultivator guest.
As soon as these words came out, the intoxicating smile on Muyang Qingya's face suddenly froze.
"Qingya is here."
At this time, a handsome man in embroidered clothes came out of the private room, elegantly came in front of Muyang Qingya, and handed her a cup of wine.
Muyang Qingya didn't take it, but smiled at Qin Keqing and said: "Keqing, you don't treat me as a sister. That young man, why don't you introduce him to me? It's too rude to leave him out like this. Why don't we go over and have a seat? "
Her voice wasn't soft.
Suddenly, everyone in the banquet hall looked at Jun Wu Xie, who was sitting in the corner.
"Qingya!"
Qin Keqing's face slightly changed. When Bu Yunfei came over and said those words, and when she saw Muyang Qingya's reaction, she knew it was bad.
Next to her, the man in embroidered clothes was still holding the wine. His hand was stiff in the air, and his face gradually became gloomy. He coldly looked at Jun Wu Xie in the corner.
Who was that azure-clothed youth?
Muyang Qingya was jealous of Qin Keqing because of that person?
Moreover, she didn't give him, the heir of the Murong family, any face in public!
The two most beautiful women in the banquet were actually thinking about that rustic azure-clothed youth.
Not only Murong Qi, but all the men in the banquet hall were coldly staring at that corner.
Jun Wu Xie felt the strong hostility in those eyes and couldn't help but frown.
He just wanted to quietly wait here for Ji Inran, but now it seemed that it would be difficult to do so.
