327 Drawing A Lot of Hate, Amy Is Here Too 2
When he saw Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe, he hurriedly gave Li Qinghe a noble’s bow.
“Hello, Miss Li. I’m Brother Yuan’s classmate. My name is Yang Ping. We met once during the entrance exam.”
Li Qinghe sized up Yang Ping with interest, then smiled.
“Hello,” she said.
Li Qinghe was extremely beautiful in her black suit, but Yang Ping didn’t dare to take a second look.
He turned to look at Lu Yuan and smiled.
“Brother Yuan, I didn’t expect you to just arrive too?”
Then, he smiled and continued,
“My father and I met an acquaintance when we were out. He recognized Miss Li and I guessed it was you.”
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.
“Yes, we just arrived. Let’s go together. Senior Tingfeng should be waiting for us.”
“Alright!”
Yang Ping followed behind Lu Yuan and walked slowly, sizing up the people around him from time to time.
When they passed by the second square, some of the important figures who even his father had to smile at were now smiling humbly at Li Qinghe. He couldn’t help but straighten his chest.
The square outside the innermost main castle was the banquet hall in the deepest part of the city. Only a few battle emperors, members of Battle emperor families, or high-ranking members who had made great contributions to the empire could enter. Other than that, only diplomatic corps from all over the country could enter.
Outside the venue, a few princes were personally welcoming the guests.
Lu Yuan saw Si Tingfeng and Si Tinglei, whom he had met a few times before.
At this moment, they were dressed in white royal gowns with red edges. They had elegant smiles on their faces as they greeted the guests.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan and the other two, Si Tingfeng’s and Si Tinglei’s eyes lit up and they walked over.
Si Tingfeng saw that Si Tinglei had also come over and could not help but be a little speechless.
“Fourth brother, what are you doing here?”
Si Tinglei said with a smile,
“Junior Lu Yuan is also my friend. Why can’t I come over?”
Si Tingfeng looked at him speechlessly and shook his head. Without saying anything, he walked to Lu Yuan and the others.
Si Tingfeng smiled at Li Qinghe.
“Miss Li, my royal sister and her Highness Shuangyue haven’t come down yet. Are you going up to look for them?”
Li Qinghe glanced at Lu Yuan and hugged his arm with a faint smile.
“Brother Yuan, do you want me to stay here with you?”
Lu Yuan instantly felt a large number of strange gazes cast on him.
Some of them had extremely sharp gazes, some even carrying anger.
This wave of hatred points has been directly pulled to full, right?
Lu Yuan’s face was full of black lines as he rolled his eyes.
“You should go and find the teacher and sister Shuangyue.”
“Could it be that little brother Yuan disdains his big sister?”
Li Qinghe looked at Lu Yuan with an evil smile.
Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched as he glared at Li Qinghe.
This person always liked to cause trouble.
Seeing Lu Yuan glaring at her, Li Qinghe’s lips curled up.
“Alright, then I’ll go look for Tingyu and the others.”
She let go of Lu Yuan’s arm and walked into the castle with elegant steps.
Lu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Si Tingfeng’s gaze swept across the surroundings. Seeing that many young men were really looking at Lu Yuan coldly, he patted Lu Yuan’s shoulder with some sympathy.
“A ‘Yuan, you have to hold on. Miss Li has a large number of suitors in the entire Daqi planet, and there is no lack of princes from other kingdoms.”
Lu Yuan’s gaze swept across the young men who were looking at him coldly. He did not think much of it and just smiled.
“They won’t dare to hit me in the venue anyway, so what’s there to be afraid of?”
Lu Yuan could sense that a few of them were battle king warriors, and they were probably geniuses as well.
However, this was the Red Maple Empire’s Harvest Day banquet. Lu Yuan would not be beaten here, right?
… He probably wouldn’t, right?
Lu Yuan was still quite calm.
Si Tingfeng chuckled. “You’re right. The diplomatic corps from various countries are here to attend the banquet. They should at least give the Red Maple Empire some face.”
Si Tingfeng’s tone carried a hint of pride.
In the entire Daqi planet, the Red Maple Empire was one of the strongest empires.
“A’Yuan, little Ping, you two go sit over there first. I’ll come and accompany you after I’m done with the guests.
Lu Yuan’s expression was slightly strange.
He felt that there was something wrong with what he said.
At this moment, Si Tinglei, who was at the side, had an elegant and calm smile on his face.
“Junior Lu Yuan, I’ve always wanted to treat you to a meal, but I couldn’t contact you.”
Lu Yuan smiled in embarrassment.
“I’m usually busy with cultivation, and on my rest days, I’ve been strictly ordered by sister Qinghe to go home, so I can’t play outside. I really have no choice.”
Alright, going home wasn’t because of strict orders, but it was better to get along with a peerless beauty at home than to play with a man, right?
Si Tinglei smiled.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Since you rarely come to the banquet, I’ll chat with you so that you won’t be bored.”
Si Tinglei had just finished speaking when Si Tingfeng, who was beside him, said faintly,
“Fourth brother, are you thinking of escaping? Don’t you want to receive distinguished guests? I’ll let his highness father know.”
The smile on Si Tinglei’s face froze. He let out a dry cough and said,
“I’m sorry, junior Lu Yuan. I just remembered that I have something to do. I’ll come and find you later.”
With that, he glared at Si Tingfeng and turned to leave.
Si Tingfeng smiled apologetically at Lu Yuan and Yang Ping.
“You guys go and rest for a while. Mag will be here soon.”
Lu Yuan nodded.
“Senior, go do your own thing. You don’t need to worry about us.”
Si Tingfeng nodded and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan and Yang Ping casually found a corner in the venue and became invisible.
It was a pity that even if they wanted to do it, the hatred they had attracted from Li Qinghe’s departure had yet to disappear. Many people were looking at them from time to time.
