C43 Ball
After receiving the gifts, it was time for the big families to discuss with each other. Because of the actions just now, there would be a few young men who would come over to Zhou Xuanling's side.
Looking at this fake face, Zhou Xuanling felt disdain in his heart, even his expression was extremely perfunctory.
Now that I know to play with the Dao Lord, I'm sorry, but the Dao Lord doesn't want to play anymore.
It was not as if these people did not have good eyesight. Naturally, they could tell that Zhou Lingxuan did not have any intentions of paying attention to them. After finding fault with herself, they could only bid farewell courteously.
The grumbling before he left, Zhou Xuanling was right.
"Acting like a dog, you still have the nerve to come to the banquet?"
Heh … Looking at the people coming and going, Zhou Ling Xuan's finger moved. No one could see how she moved, and all they could hear was a cry of alarm.
"AHH!"
Under everyone's gaze, the man who was mumbling the profound spirit directly fell on his back with his head on the ground and legs crossed.
The sight of his face covered in dust caused the surrounding crowd to burst out in stifled laughter.
The man felt embarrassed and scrambled to run away, dejectedly walking away.
He was still wondering in his heart. He was just walking on the ground, why did he feel as if he had been paired up for a while yet was still falling down like this? He had truly lost a lot of face.
This time, Zhou Lingxuan felt much more at ease. She crossed her legs and leaned against the sofa, sipping the red wine in her hands.
Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, an accident occurred.
All of the lights in the room suddenly dimmed down, causing the entire venue to be unable to even see his fingers for an instant. Everyone was stunned, and started discussing non-stop below, and in the next second, a beam of light directly pointed to where they were standing, where Shangguan Wuji was standing just a moment ago.
And under the light, the one who was standing was Shangguan Wuji, as well as Shangguan Qiushui, who was supporting him.
"Pah!" "Pah!"
Shangguan Wuji clapped twice, causing everyone's gaze to be focused on the place. It did not carry any microphone, but the voice clearly travelled to everyone's ears, vigorous yet dignified.
I'm also very happy to thank all of you for coming to my birthday party. I'm also an old man, but I can't compare to the young people you have now, so I'll treat it as a banquet for this old man. It's just a little fun, we'll go for a small ball, and everyone can be invited to join in.
When he said the last two words, "eating", Zhou Xuanling clearly felt it. Shangguan Wuji intentionally gave him a glance, making him involuntarily roll his eyes.
This old man really remembered about it, but no matter what, he was still his "father-in-law". Furthermore, he had promised Shangguan Qiushui that during this banquet, he would at least not embarrass her.
Forget about everything else, just with his medical skills, Zhou Xuanling had the confidence to shock everyone present.
He could not help but silently curse. Fortunately, his prayers were useful in the car, otherwise, he would not be able to find a way out.
At this time, the ball was already starting to faintly open, and everyone consciously made a round of space. Several men and ladies from famous sects also took advantage of this opportunity to invite their fellow clan members.
They were all beginning to make friends with all kinds of people under the guise of a banquet.
Shangguan Qiushui, who originally thought that no one would come looking for him, frowned at the man in front of him.
The man smiled like a gentleman and extended his hand slightly. "Miss Qiushui, my name is Yan Hen. May I invite you to dance?"
Shangguan Qiushui, the ice beauty, had not come here for nothing. She merely glanced at the man coldly and said indifferently.
"Sorry, I …"
But before Shangguan Qiushui could finish speaking, Zhou Xuanling's playful voice came from behind.
"Qiushui, there were too many people just now, so I couldn't find you. Hey, mister, how are you?"
Zhou Xuanling pretended to be surprised when he saw the man called Yan Hen in front of Qiu Shui. As he spoke, he also held onto Shangguan Qiushui's shoulders.
Yan Hen's face alternated between green and white, and his eyes carried a bit of a cold air as he glanced at Zhou Xuanling. However, Zhou Xuanling was not afraid, and directly met his gaze.
The two of them looked at each other, and even the young child at the side could feel the sparks flying out.
However, no matter what, he was still someone with some status. In an instant, Yan Hen also recovered his smile.
"I am Yan Hen, the heir to this grand group. I would like to invite Miss Qiushui to a dance. Would you mind showing me your face?"
Shangguan Qiushui's expression did not change, towards the matter of Zhou Xian Lin holding his shoulder, he did not care anymore, as though he was already used to it, and did not care at all about the man's invitation.
Zhou Xuanling knew that if he did not say something now, when he returned, his money would be gone.
However, he couldn't help but curse this man in his heart. Seeing this man being shameless, he was truly more shameless than being shameless.
Zhou Xuanling was also smiling a little as he looked at Yan Hen, "I'm sorry, sir, but my wife said that other than dancing with me, he would feel uncomfortable with other men who are not related to his by blood. I think you will be very understanding with others as well."
Yan Hen forced himself to maintain a smile. He raised the wine cup in his hand and nodded slightly.
"Then I won't disturb the two of you."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Zhou Xuanling reckoned that he was quite angry, and at the same time, heaved a sigh of relief. There were truly a lot of sticky candy these days.
In the end, she still couldn't help but whisper into Shangguan Qiushui's ear.
"Do you think you're too good at attracting peach blossoms?"
gritted his teeth as he felt the male scent that assaulted his ears. His face flushed red unnaturally, and he desperately wanted to throw the man out.
But in the eyes of others, it was as if Zhou Xuanling had said something to Shangguan Qiushui, causing her face to turn red.
Just like this, Zhou Xuanling unconsciously accumulated a few looks of hatred on his body.
Half an hour later.
Everyone stopped and looked at Shangguan Wuji.
The dining table was already set up, so Zhou Xuanling took Shangguan Qiushui's face and sat beside him, which was also the closest to him amongst the younger generation.
"There's no need to be so formal, everyone is eating and drinking, no need to be so polite."
Seeing Shangguan Wuji laughing, Zhou Xuanling silently rolled his eyes in his heart. Who could eat the words of this elder under such an atmosphere?
