The last five words are quite aningful.
Sui Yi didn’t confirm nor deny.
This person appears to be fierce and arrogant on the outside, but actually isn’t soone who would cause trouble at soone else’s birthday banquet just because of animosity towards the Dugu Family Clique...
A person with such sharp eyes... is certainly not simple.
Just as Sui Yi subtly brushed a hint of presence and was about to retreat quickly, he saw Du Gourou approaching. This person stood next to where Sui Yi was sitting, saying: "I thought you wouldn’t help when everyone else looked down on ."
This person’s tone seed sowhat... complicated.
Sui Yi glanced at him, "You are always the one who troubles yourself, so I can’t really say I helped you."
Why does it always seem like this person is so unique?
Whether it was the first eting in that restaurant, or now him speaking words that Sui Yi couldn’t fully understand at the mont but suddenly found very reasonable.
Du Gourou fell silent for a mont, looked around, and said: "Then can I..."
He shifted his seat, wanting to sit down.
He had already scouted earlier that Hong Fu and Jingzhao Ning were not here, so...
"Teacher, long ti no see."
Hou Xibai arrived, sat down.
Du Gourou: Why, why, why! Is it so hard for to sit next to her even once!!
"Hou Xibai....!!" Du Gourou exclaid with a tone filled with gritted teeth.
Hou Xibai turned to look at Du Gourou, his expression complicated.
Why was it complicated?
Sui Yi could learn from the conversation among the ladies nearby.
"I heard Du Gourou used to fancy Hou Xibai."
"Unfortunately, the Flirtatious Young Master has always been interested only in beauties, so he refused."
"Young Master Dugu was quite sad for a while..."
"So what’s happening now? Young Master Dugu fell for Young Master Cangwu, and after witnessing it, the Flirtatious Young Master, feeling dissatisfied and threatened, finally realized he actually liked Young Master Dugu all along. He then deliberately interfered to express his displeasure... But after seeing Young Master Cangwu’s peerless beauty, he started falling for Young Master Cangwu, thus becoming rivals in love with Young Master Dugu?"
Young Master Cangwu: Wow, this is so wild imagination. Is this person the moderator who ti-traveled from a Baidu forum?
Young Master Dugu: Let explain, upstairs. They’re just making stuff up; I have no ulterior motives.
Flirtatious Young Master: Sounds so thrilling and touching... Wait, are they talking about ?
Everyone: Although the amount of information seems overwhelming, now it makes sense.
Anyway, the three strikingly beautiful young masters beca the most attention-grabbing figures at this banquet. Luckily, Wang Tong recognized Sui Yi, surprised and delighted. He had long wanted to befriend Sui Yi, and here he unexpectedly showed up. Was there concern about not having a chance to mingle? But first, he had to help settle these troubles for Sui Yi.
"Ladies and gentlen, thank you for attending Wang’s birthday banquet. While this banquet is for celebration, it’s also an invitation for those I rarely see to gather..."
Wang Tong’s speech at the banquet naturally showed respect, with most eyes focused on him.
Sui Yi looked out the window, seeing the Oasis drifting, bamboo and willow gracefully swaying; indeed, a beautiful place.....
"I’m Shong Ming, wishing the scholar a happy birthday..."
Sui Yi turned to look, seeing a man in his twenties, nearing thirty, making a martial greeting with both hands, body straight. Despite handso features, his gaze held deep shadows and a subtle hint of hidden malice. This was Dongming Young Marshal Shong Ming, forrly served by Shong Wannian.
He appeared young but not to be underestimated.
Behind him, an old man made Sui Yi slightly squint, his fingers turning the tea cup.
The old man carried the scent of dicine.
Not everyone present knew Shong Ming’s background, but certainly so did, like Fang Xuanling and Li Yuanji, who reacted accordingly and promptly began various negotiations...
Wui Zheng likely already guessed Hong Fu’s intentions here, indeed a frightening person.
Sui Yi took a light sip of tea.
Suddenly, her fingers paused slightly while holding the teacup. Her free left fingers lifted the thin veil, her gaze falling on the shimring water surface. Her eyes serene, the Magnetic Sensation seed divine, penetrating underwater rely three to four ters deep.....
She saw a head and two eyes.
The other person naturally couldn’t see her.
Sui Yi remained calm, placing the teacup down, its crisp bottom sound mysteriously echoing in everyone’s ears, as if awakened by thunder. In that instant, Hou Xibai caught Sui Yi’s glance, her jade fingers pointing at the water. He suddenly realized, his face changing, shouting: "Soone’s underwater! Retreat!"
As the words fell...
His body had already leapt forward, simultaneously, several masters also awakened, though they hadn’t detected anything, but reflexively they raised the curtains and rushed out along the water corridor. Amidst the chaos, so many people fled, anyone underwater realized they had been exposed.
Swish, swish, swish!
From both sides beneath the pavilion, small arrows shot out abruptly—underwater crossbows!
The piercing power of those arrows was quite terrifying.
Swoosh, swoosh hit several fleeing master guards, while Hou Xibai’s folding fan flew in the air, Inner Qi cutting through the fan’s ribs, shooting into the water like small flying knives...
Thud, thud! Hit several underwater lurkers, but ultimately, with their underwater advantage, the crossbows launched powerful surprise attacks, and few had the Minor Grandmaster’s ability to extend Inner Strength ters underwater.
Thus, the guards seed to crumble easily, with several dying directly.
Wang Tong and the others reacted as well, quickly organizing the ladies to escape to land.... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.)
