The wine cup fell on the ground with a clang. The sound was extremely harsh.
Although it was made of bronze and wasn't broken, it was still very clear in the banquet, which had quieted down.
Everyone looked over in surprise. Then they all kept quiet out of fear. No one said anything.
Some sharp-eyed cultivators saw that Gu Changge's sleeves were wet. Some wine was even dripping from his fair and slender palm.
Such a scene made them turn pale. They kept quiet. They didn't dare say anything.
Why would the wine cup fall to the ground all of a sudden? This made many people start to imagine what was going on.
As the host of this banquet, Gu Changge had invited many young Supreme Venerables for the Ji family. However, at such a crucial moment, Ji Chuyue unexpectedly spilled the wine cup when she went to propose a toast to him.
This could even be said to be extremely disrespectful.
"Chuyue …"
Jiang Chen had been paying attention to Ji Chuyue's expression and behavior. He couldn't help but worry.
However, he didn't expect that Ji Chuyue would spill the wine cup on purpose.
In his opinion, Ji Chuyue must have done it on purpose to express her dissatisfaction.
"Young Lord Changge, please forgive her. Chuyue didn't do it on purpose."
Ji Yaoxing's expression also changed drastically. His smile froze on his face. He hurried to apologize.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly. He had a bad feeling.
He was even worried that Ji Chuyue would take what he had said to heart and do it on purpose.
In this way, the situation would become even worse.
If someone took this opportunity to say that the Ji family was disrespectful to Gu Changge, it would make the situation worse for the Ji family, which was in the middle of rescuing their ancestors.
All the hard work they had put in would be for naught.
"Chuyue, apologize to Young Lord Changge right away."
Ji Yaoxing hurried to speak to Ji Chuyue, whose face had turned pale.
He didn't have time to blame her at this moment.
"Young Lord Changge, please forgive me. I really didn't do it on purpose …"
Ji Chuyue came to herself. Her head was still buzzing. She was also scared. She apologized in a trembling voice. She was terrified.
She didn't know why she suddenly retracted her hand, which caused her to lose her grip on the wine cup.
But no matter what, knocking over the wine cup and even letting the wine spill all over Gu Changge's palm was her fault and disrespect.
In the current Upper Realm, who would dare to disrespect Gu Changge?
Seeing the smile on Gu Changge's face vanish, Ji Chuyue's face turned even paler.
At the end of the day, she was just a young girl who had not experienced much.
Although she was the little princess of the Ji family, she could secretly discuss Gu Changge with her brother, Ji Yaoxing.
However, when he truly stood in front of Gu Changge, who stood at the pinnacle of power in the Upper Realm, he finally understood how nervous and fearful he was.
"Miss Chu Yue, are you that afraid of me? You can't even hold a wine glass properly ~ ‖? "
Just as Ji Chuyue was on the verge of collapsing, her small face turning pale, cold sweat seeping out of her forehead, and her legs turning to jelly, Gu Changge finally spoke.
He looked calm, shaking his head slightly. His voice was as easy-going as usual. It did not sound like he was blaming her at all.
However, Ji Chuyue and Ji Yaoxing did not dare relax at all. They were still in a panic.
"No … no, Chuyue is not afraid of Young Lord Changge. I was just distracted. Please forgive me, Young Lord Changge."
Ji Chuyue explained in a trembling voice.
"Oh, what happened to distract Miss Chuyue at such a moment?"
Gu Changge seemed to be interested and asked.
Ji Chuyue turned even paler. Of course, she did not have the nerve to say it was because her brother was going to pick a fight with Jiang Chen, but she could not find a suitable reason.
"Yes, but Young Lord Changge might laugh at me if I tell you."
"The day before yesterday, Young Lord Changge said you were going to invite many geniuses to discuss how to rescue our ancestors. Chuyue is very grateful to you, Young Lord Changge. She kept mentioning you in front of me."
"I casually mentioned to her that her family wanted her to be your concubine …"
Seeing his sister's expression, how could Ji Yaoxing not guess the reason why she was distracted just now? While sighing in his heart, he hurriedly stood up and explained with a bit of apology and a bitter smile.
Of course, this explanation was just a slip of the tongue. He could not find a suitable reason other than this.
According to Ji Chuyue's status, if she wanted to be Gu Changge's concubine, it would depend on whether Gu Changge was willing or not.
Many geniuses in the Upper Realms were drooling over this status.
Many young geniuses at the banquet suddenly understood. They shook their heads with pity, but they did not doubt it.
After all, Gu Changge was so excellent. He had great power and great strength. Which geniuses would not be attracted by him?
In their eyes, Ji Chuyue was no exception.
Was that why she had accidentally knocked over the wine glass in her nervousness?
This was within reason.
"Brother …"
Ji Chuyue obviously did not expect Ji Yaoxing to say that. She was a little stunned, then her face turned red.
Saying this in front of so many people made her blush. She felt embarrassed.
She was not stupid. She knew that Ji Yaoxing was helping her out, but this explanation did not consider her reputation at all.
This made her, who was thin-skinned, want to find a hole to hide in.
"Chuyue, don't be shy. This is not something to be ashamed of."
Ji Yaoxing smiled and said with a helpless expression.
"Oh, so that's the reason."
"Miss Chuyue, there's no need to be nervous. I'm not a scourge."
Gu Changge's expression did not change much when he heard this explanation. He just smiled faintly and did not comment.
Ji Yaoxing did not know if he believed it.
However, seeing that Gu Changge did not continue to hold on to it, he breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that this trouble should be solved.
Yin Mei, who was behind Gu Changge, took out a plain white handkerchief and was about to wipe the wine on Gu Changge's hand.
Ji Yaoxing hurriedly signaled to Ji Chuyue with his eyes.
Seeing this, Ji Chuyue also understood her brother's meaning. Her face was burning, and even her ears were red. She walked forward and said in a submissive voice, "I'm sorry for just now. I wet Young Master Changge's sleeve."
As she spoke, she also took out a plain white handkerchief and carefully wiped Gu Changge's hand.
Gu Changge looked at Wu Xia's beautiful face, which was trembling because of nervousness. Gu Changge couldn't help but smile gently and didn't stop her.
Seeing this scene, many young prodigies did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, many girls were very envious.
"What a good method. She deliberately knocked over the wine glass just to take the opportunity to get close to Young Master Changge."
"This Ji Chuyue is not simple either … She did what we wanted to do, but didn't dare."
The heavenly beauties were extremely envious, their words full of jealousy.
"Shut up, all of you."
"Chuyue is not as vain as you. She doesn't want to climb up the social ladder!"
Jiang Chen, whose eyes were a little red, could not help but shout in a low voice. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked.
However, his words did not work. After the Divine Stone Convention, many prodigies did not need to treat him with respect anymore, as the descendant of a Divine Origin Master.
The girls who had spoken glanced at him disdainfully. They did not even bother to speak, as if they were looking at a fool.
Jiang Chen was very angry. He was livid. He was very angry.
In his eyes, it was obvious that Ji Chuyue had not done this willingly. She had been forced by her brother.
She was the little princess of the Jis. Her status was very high. She was very beautiful, like a flawless fairy created by God.
Since when had she ever wiped a young man's hand so carefully?
Jiang Chen felt sorry for her, but more than that, he was unwilling to accept it.
"Little Chenzi, calm down. Don't be impulsive."
Seeing Jiang Chen's expression change, Niu Tian turned pale. He hurried to persuade him and stop him.
"How can I calm down at this moment?"
Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth. Gazing at Gu Changge, who was sitting at the head of the table, wearing a black robe and looking very noble, and then at Ji Chuyue, next to him, who had flushed and was wiping his hand carefully, Jiang Chen's heart twitched.
In his eyes, this scene was no different from a pure white flower growing beside the Abyss of Utmost Evil, which could be torn into pieces by the strong wind blowing out of the abyss at any time.
"Guards, take this man down!"
However, when Jiang Chen could not bear it anymore and was going to stand up for Ji Chuyue …
Ji Yaoxing, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly looked in his direction.
The humble and respectful look on his face disappeared. He became very cold. He gave the order directly.
Hualala! Gu!
As soon as Ji Yaoxing finished speaking, many knights in battle suits suddenly appeared outside the Star Picking Tower. They surrounded Jiang Chen in an instant.
It was as if they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Jiang Chen's expression froze when he witnessed this unexpected scene. His anger also disappeared in an instant. He was petrified where he had been.
The people at the banquet, including the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, Six Crown King, the Celestial Monster Monarch, and others, were all shocked and confused. They were shocked by this scene. They did not expect Ji Yaoxing to give the order to take Jiang Chen down.
"What's going on?"
An Xi and the Little War Immortal were also confused. They stood up in shock and looked back.
After all, Jiang Chen had come here with them. They were familiar with him.
