All of a sudden, everyone stood up to greet Shang Luoluo.
"Miss Shang!"
"Miss Luoluo!"
Shang Luoluo nodded in response to each of them and then smiled.
"Thank you all for taking the ti to attend this cocktail party amidst your busy schedules. I hope you won’t find the offerings too modest."
"Miss Luoluo, you’re too polite. If this is considered modest, then I truly don’t know what abundance looks like," soone laughed.
"That’s right, Miss Shang is really too generous."
"As long as everyone is satisfied!"
With that, Shang Luoluo raised her glass, first offering a toast to everyone before starting to chat.
Zhao Ya watched from the side, noticing how Shang Luoluo was at ease with everyone, able to converse without making anyone feel out of place. He nodded to himself.
Aside from anything else, her social skills alone were enough to prove that Shang Luoluo was no ordinary person.
At this mont, Xu De ca over with a drink in hand, "Do you think this Miss Shang is no ordinary person?"
Zhao Ya nodded, "Indeed, a bit."
Xu De sighed, "I felt the sa when I first t her."
"This cocktail party has been around for four or five years. You should know that this Miss Shang is only twenty years old, aning she started consciously gathering martial arts talents as early as she was fifteen."
"Initially, many ca out of respect for her father being the guardian of a commandery. But gradually, as the influence of this cocktail party grew, people began to change their perception."
"Now many co not for other reasons but for this party alone. After all, attending the Shang Mansion’s cocktail party proves your strength and reputation, and it only costs a small amount of money for refreshnts. It’s a frightful tactic."
At the end, Xu De couldn’t help but down his drink in one gulp and then patted Zhao Ya on the shoulder, pointing into the distance.
"Do you see that? Senior Brother Miao is usually such a confident person, but when chatting with this Miss Shang, he becos as timid as a student."
Zhao Ya had already noticed this.
Just earlier, Miao Shaocheng had been working up the courage to go and chat with Shang Luoluo.
But after barely exchanging a few words, sweat was seen on his forehead, and his whole body seed as stiff as wood.
Even Zhao Ya wanted to laugh.
"Don’t think that only Senior Brother Miao acts this way. In fact, from what I know, at least several promising young talents are interested in this Miss Shang, but none dare to approach her. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because Miss Shang’s eyes seem to speak. No matter what you say, she just smiles at you, and the longer she looks at you, the more self-conscious you beco," Xu De said.
"It seems like you know a lot about this Miss Shang, could it be that you’re interested in her too?" Zhao Ya rarely gossiped.
Xu De shook his head with a bitter smile, "I wouldn’t dare be interested in soone so clever. Ordinary people simply can’t handle her."
"I like gentle and kind-hearted girls, preferably a bit naive. Look, Senior Brother Miao can’t hold up anymore."
Sure enough.
After just a few more words, Miao Shaocheng lost his confidence and returned in a sullen mood.
"How was it? What did you chat about with Miss Shang?" Xu De asked with a grin.
"Alas, don’t ntion it, I thought of so many interesting things beforehand, but once I actually saw her, my mind went blank, and I couldn’t rember anything," Miao Shaocheng said helplessly.
Xu De patted him on the shoulder, "Don’t be discouraged. Compared to previous tis, you’ve improved this ti. At least you chatted a bit more."
Miao Shaocheng went to drink in frustration.
At this mont, Shang Luoluo surprisingly ca over with a drink.
"Senior Brother Xu, what are you and Senior Brother Zhao talking about? You seem so happy."
Xu De laughed, "Not talking about much, just complinting you."
"Complinting ? There’s nothing much to complint compared to you all who are so dedicated to Martial Dao. I’m just a weak woman."
As she said, Shang Luoluo raised her glass to Zhao Ya.
"In terms of age, I’m actually older than you, but since capability cos first, I’ll still call you senior brother. Thank you for gracing us with your presence at this cocktail party."
"You’re too kind!"
Zhao Ya responded and then naturally raised his glass for a sip.
An unusual look flashed in Shang Luoluo’s eyes.
She didn’t know how many young talents had appeared awkward in front of her.
Of course, so people would pretend just to try to catch her attention.
But no one had ever been as calm as this young man in front of her.
Calm to the point where even when looking at her, there wasn’t the slightest ripple in his eyes.
Indeed an interesting person!
This thought flashed across Shang Luoluo’s mind, and instead of leaving, she continued to chat with Zhao Ya with a charming smile.
"I heard that Senior Brother Zhao is from Wuxiang City?"
"Yes!"
"Wuxiang City is quite far from here, it must have been a tiring journey."
"It was okay!"
"Are you used to living in the Commandery?"
"Used to it!"
Zhao Ya responded casually, but his gaze stayed in the distance.
Sitting over there were all won.
Although martial artists are mostly n, Yunxiao County has a very strong martial arts atmosphere, so so noble families or those with ans would also have their daughters learn martial arts.
Even just at Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, there were many such cases.
So it wasn’t surprising to see so many won at this cocktail party.
