-They paid then left after some time, however since I did promise I’ll give shoutout to those that pledge, then here ya go~
AThe matter of Long Fei seeking Shen Yanxiao for help in removing his curse was very low-key, and the people of Blizzard City would definitely not start a rumor. Shen Yanxiao did not let people talk irresponsibly either. There were really not many people that knew about this matter.
Furthermore, previously when The Rising Sun City was still being built, Geng Di, Long Fei and Duan Hen all obstructed her operations. They would never think that the relationship between Long Fei and Shen Yanxiao was much better than they thought.
Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly. She always felt that there was something strange with Twilight City. Although Twilight City did obstruct the construction of The Rising Sun City before, the intensity of their attack was almost the same as Blizzard City’s. Long Fei originally was not too happy to hara.s.s The Rising Sun City, and there was also his affection towards Vermillion Bird Clan. And for some reasons, the Twilight City also did not show too much hostility to The Rising Sun City from the beginning.
But why, after they entered the Twilight City this time, did Duan Hen’s att.i.tude undergo a 180-degree change?
If these things happened in the Magical Fantasy City, Shen Yanxiao would not feel strange at all; but for Duan Hen to offend them seemingly without any scruples, it was completely inconsistent with the style of the Twilight City before.
The contrast before and after was so great, it really made Shen Yanxiao think.
“Master, this invitation says that you can bring a person with you, who do you want to bring?” Nangong Mengmeng took the invitation from Shen Yanxiao and looked at it left and right; she thought that it was awfully irksome. But when she read that Shen Yanxiao could bring one person to today’s banquet, she immediately put on a “please bring me along” expression.
Shen Yanxiao directly ignored her expression and instead looked at Qi Xia, who was on the sidelines, and said, “Qi Xia, you will accompany me tonight.”
“…” Nangong Mengmeng wanted to cry at once.
Qi Xia just shrugged his shoulders and stood up slowly before the hate-filled and jealous eyes of the other four animals.
“It is better to accept it respectfully than to decline courteously.”
Shen Yanxiao nodded her head. She chose Qi Xia for a reason. The person on her side should be someone black-bellied, and in this aspect, if Qi Xia said he was second, no one would dare to claim to be first. Although Nangong Mengmeng was lovable, her temprer was too pure. She had already been disgusted with the events in Twilight City. If Shen Yanxiao brought such a candid girl along, Duan Hen would lead her by the nose on the spot.
“The time is not early. You’re already late, even if you don’t hasten to leave. Do you want me to prepare a carriage?” Yan Yu looked at the sky. The banquet was likely to have started already for more than half an hour ago.
Shen Yanxiao shook her head.
Qi Xia and Shen Yanxiao looked at each other. Both of them found the faint tacit nasty light in the other’s eyes at the same time.
……
In the City Lord Residence of Twilight City, the surroundings were brightly lit and the plucking of the guqin was spreading melodious sounds.
The teenager sitting in the main seat looked fair and handsome, but there was not an ounce of expression in his beautiful facial features. Sitting next to him was a 70-year-old man with a grizzled beard, wearing a dark green chang pao[1]; his whole body emitted the aura of a person aloof from politics and material pursuits as he gazed afar.
Everyone in the room knew that the protagonist of tonight’s Twilight City banquet was not Duan Hen in the main seat, but the old man next to him.
“Elder Wen, I haven’t seen you for many years, but you still have the same graceful bearing as before ah.” Dressed in luxurious aristocratic attire from head to foot, Geng Di rose up from his seat; holding a gla.s.s of wine, he paid respect to the silent old man.
“Lord Geng, I trust you have been well since we last met.” Elder Wen faintly responded as he made a toast.
“What matter made Elder Wen come to the Barren Land this time? If I didn’t write to my father, I wouldn’t know about your arrival and might have slighted you as a result.” Geng Di’s smile was overflowing with hypocrisy.
“Just came to look around.” Elder Wen smilingly replied.
Geng Di and Elder Wen exchanged a few more words with each other. Meanwhile Long Fei, who was sitting opposite them, slightly knit his brows.
