Lan Xin was the only daughter of the clan leader and the clan leader’s wife. She had never interacted with the outside world and had been doted on since she was young. Thus, she was playful and lively. Of course, she also had the temperament of a spoiled young lady.
Lan Xin and the few beautiful dancers were all wearing voluptuous dresses that revealed their bellies. They danced gracefully amidst the melodious music. Their dance movements were quite graceful.
Soon, the dance ended. The clan leader smiled in satisfaction and said, “Everyone, my daughter has made a fool of herself.”
Of course, everyone had to praise how beautiful Miss Lan Xin was and how good she was at dancing. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Lan Xin sat beside the clan leader and said, “Father, don’t drink too much. It’s not good for your health when you’re old.”
The clan leader said, “Lan Xin, you’re actually taking care of father’s drinking? Father has been drinking for so many years, he won’t be able to quit. Lan Xin, you should take care of your future husband.”
“Father ~”lan Xin immediately became shy.
At the mention of this “Husband”, Xuan Luo and Sikong ruoling exchanged a look without batting an eyelid. At this banquet, the clan leader had thrown out this topic, there must be a reason behind it.., looking at the men in the hall, all of them were favored by the heavens. It was unknown which husband the clan leader had chosen for Miss Lan Xin.
“Sister Xiaodie, drink some chicken soup to warm your stomach.”
Sikong ruoling handed a bowl of chicken soup to Xia Xiaodie.
Xia Xiaodie was really hungry. In addition to Sikong Ruoling’s daily massage and acupuncture, her appetite had improved a lot, so she drank more than half of the bowl of chicken soup.
At this moment, she felt a deep and hot gaze fall on her face. Xia Xiaodie looked up and saw Gu Yilin looking at her.
His gaze was soft and gentle, and there were ripples in it.
Xia Xiaodie averted her gaze.
At this moment, the clan leader raised his head and his precise gaze fell on Zhou Yu, “Master Zhou, this daughter of mine was born in the wilderness, so she doesn’t have much experience. Master Zhou, I’m sorry.”
Zhou Yu curled his thin lips. “Miss Lan Xin is naive and romantic. She’s very likable.”
The clan leader’s eyes lit up. “Then, Master Zhou, what do you think of my daughter’s dance just now?”
Xuan Yingluo sat opposite him. Now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the clan leader had his eyes set on Zhou Yu. Although Zhou Yu had brought a beautiful concubine this time, it did not affect his own charm, moreover, his position as the wife of the main palace had always been vacant.
Now, the clan leader’s probing intentions were very direct.
At this moment, Zhou Yu raised his eyes. His gaze suddenly landed on Xuan Yingluo’s beautiful little face. He raised his long and narrow eyebrows. The flowing patterns gave off the aura of a mature man, “Although Miss Lan Xin’s dance is very good, I’ve seen someone who can dance better than Miss Lan Xin.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the clan leader and Lan Xin’s expressions changed. The clan leader was disappointed, and as the spoiled daughter of a wealthy family, Lan Xin was naturally unconvinced.
Of course, Lan Xin also knew that her father was choosing a husband for her. This Zhou Yu was so handsome and tall, and his firm muscles were so wild and manly. Lan Xin was actually very satisfied, but when Zhou Yu said this, she immediately felt unconvinced, “Master Zhou, I wonder if the person you’ve met who can dance better than me is here. I want to compete with her.”
Xuan Yingluo’s fan-like feathers trembled. Zhou Yu’s gaze was faintly discernible as he looked at her. It was obvious that the person he was talking about who could dance better was her.
Xuan Yingluo did not understand why he would change the topic to her.
This was someone else’s territory. This time, they had come with a request. Xuan Yingluo would never steal someone else’s limelight. She also did not want Zhou Yu to break this peace.
Xuan Yingluo immediately looked at Zhou Yu with a clear and vigilant gaze.
Zhou Yu received her gaze. It was probably meant to say, “Shut up.”The curve on his lips deepened as he calmly said to Lan Xin, “It’s a pity that this person isn’t here.”
Lan Xin was very unhappy, but since he wasn’t here, she couldn’t say anything.
“Lan Xin, since you have no fate with Master Zhou, then you should get to know master Gu and young master Su.”The clan leader’s gaze fell on Gu Yilin and Su Yi.
Lan Xin raised her head and saw Gu Yilin.
Gu Yilin was wearing a hand-made white shirt and black trousers. He was handsome and noble, and his temperament was outstanding, like a bright pearl.
Lan Xin’s heart suddenly jumped, and her heart was moved.
“President Gu, let me toast to you.”Lan Xin raised her glass.
Xia Xiaodie looked at Lan Xin. Although she did not speak the whole time, she had seen everything that happened here. Now, Miss Lan Xin had taken a fancy to Gu Yilin.
Xia Xiaodie looked at Gu Yilin and saw that Gu Yilin’s gaze was also on her little face.
“Minister Xuan, Sister Ruoling, I’m a little dizzy. I’ll go back to my room first.”Xia Xiaodie found an excuse and quietly left the hall.
“Sister Yingluo, I’ll go with you to take a look.”As Xia Xiaodie’s personal doctor, Sikong ruoling would naturally follow her the entire time.
After Xia Xiaodie and Sikong ruoling left, Gu Yilin retracted his gaze and looked at Lan Xin indifferently, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Miss Lan Xin, but I don’t drink.”
Lan Xin’s pretty little face immediately stiffened.
..
After the banquet ended, Gu Yilin had a private conversation with the clan leader.
Gu Yilin didn’t beat around the bush. He told the clan leader about his request for the prescription. The clan leader quickly said, “Master Gu, the rumors are true. I do have this prescription here, but this prescription can not be leaked.”
“Clan leader, I really need this prescription right now. As long as you give it to me, as long as it’s something that I, Gu Yilin, can do, I will definitely do my best.”Gu Yilin went straight to the point and negotiated with the clan leader.
The clan leader shook his head, “I’m sorry, Master Gu. Although I can already feel your sincerity, but the ancestral teachings can not be disobeyed. I absolutely can not spread the prescription out. Master Gu, I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
The clan leader turned around and left.
Gu Yilin stood at his original spot alone. He watched the clan leader’s figure gradually walk further and further away. A layer of hostility slowly appeared in his dark narrow eyes. He would definitely obtain this prescription, even if… he had to resort to unscrupulous means.
With the Gu clan’s status and status, it would definitely not be a problem for them to crush a tribe. However, when that time came, smoke would definitely fill the air.
Gu Yilin gently closed his handsome eyes.
At this moment, Lan Xin’s voice came from behind him, “Master Gu, do you want the prescription? Actually, I know where father’s prescription is hidden.”
The scarlet malice in Gu Yilin’s eyes quickly dissipated. He turned his head to look at Lan Xin. She had already returned to her elegant and noble appearance. His thin lips curved into a gentle arc as he asked with a smile, “Then what are Miss Lan Xin’s conditions? As long as it’s within my capabilities.”
Lan Xin walked forward and came before Gu Yilin. She looked at Gu Yilin’s handsome face with adoration. It was definitely not something that the men in the tribe could compare to.
