Fang Lanling and Yuan Ziqing raised their glasses together and paid tribute to Wei Tingshang and Qingning. Then Yuan Ziqing turned to "A Yi" and coughed: "Miss Yi, in fact, before someone recommended it to me yesterday, I I didn’t know that your dancing skills were so superb that you almost missed a fellow student.”
"Ayi" crossed his arms and said calmly: "Thanks to Mrs. Yuan's favor, I still lost in the end, although I am not convinced."
Yuan Ziqing paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "No wonder Miss Yi is dissatisfied. My husband and I have been arguing about who will win this competition."
"Ayi" raised her eyebrows and said doubtfully, "Really? What is Mrs. Yuan's opinion?"
Yuan Ziqing glanced at Fang Lanling, but Fang Lanling was obedient and took over the conversation and said: "It doesn't matter what everyone's opinion is. The result is that we reached an agreement, and Miss Yi is a little bit inferior."
After saying this, he didn't say anything. "Ayi" curled up his little mouth and deliberately said sarcastically: "Actually, I know it well. Mr. Fang is so romantic and casual, and Mrs. Yuan has never interfered. It shows that you are the head of the family. Of course, you are the head of the family." Your opinion shall prevail, otherwise Mr. Fang wouldn’t have Ji Chang’s habit?”
Fang Lanling laughed, clasped his fists and said: "Miss Yi is indeed smart, but when it comes to the ownership of Shijue, my wife and I cannot be hasty and can only argue with reason. This is also a respect for everyone."
Yuan Ziqing nodded slightly and said: "That's right. Originally, Miss Yi was a close friend of the sages, and we, the couple, were very optimistic about you, but when it comes to being devoted, your dance was a bit lacking. The beautiful soul of the Queen of Luoyang is still there, and she is still there. There will be judgment in it, this time the success is in vain, I just hope you will take a warning."
Hearing the other party's sincere words, "Ayi" was filled with depression, but she couldn't reply. She could only lower her eyebrows and hum, "I understand. Anyway, the treasure is yours, and it's up to you to decide."
Fang Lanling and Yuan Ziqing looked at each other and smiled. Yuan Ziqing raised his wine glass and said, "No matter what the outcome is, I still want to thank you, Miss Yi, for coming to celebrate my birthday. I'd like to propose a toast to you."
"Ayi" silently raised her glass and drank it all. Yuan Ziqing also drank till the glass was dry. Her eyes were shining brightly and she said with joy: "Today I have all of you here to accompany me. I am celebrating my 20th birthday. Seriously." It was a very happy time. Unfortunately, it was already getting late and the banquet would eventually break up. If there is a chance in the future, we can get together again."
Fang Lanling then smiled brightly and said: "Thank you again for coming to celebrate my wife's birthday. The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, and the rivers and lakes will be far away. See you soon."
After the couple finished speaking, they both bowed and saluted, and everyone returned the salute. Except for the three female guests who were left behind, the other six people, accompanied by Wu Cuishan, slowly walked out of Xiaoyin Jiangshan Tower.
After exchanging pleasantries, we said goodbye to Wu Cuishan. The sun was setting in the sky and night was about to fall.
Fang Ruxin had already suspected something, so she said straight away: "I'm going to Guanhuayuan to see Yaqi. I probably won't be going back tonight. Sister Wei, take care of yourself."
Wei Tingshang smiled and said: "Sister, please take care of yourself, the Haishi Festival will officially begin tomorrow, and we will see you at Qionghua Terrace then."
Fang Ruxin understood, then said goodbye to everyone and headed west.
Wei Tingshang turned to Qing Ning and said with a smile: "Taoist Master Qing Ning is going back to Su Yuxuan. There is nothing going on. How about I give you a ride?"
Qing Ning looked reserved and said calmly: "I don't need an escort. Miss Wei accepted the kindness."
Wei Tingshang blinked and said disapprovingly: "Taoist Master Qingning, please don't get into any disagreements. Besides, I also want to pay a visit to your master, Taoist Xuheng. We just happen to be traveling together."
Qingning was speechless for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "In that case, it's up to you."
Wei Tingshang pursed his lips and smiled, then said to Mu Yun: "Then let's go first, Mu Shaoxia, take care."
Mu Yun cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Miss Wei, I will take good care of Master Lei."
After saying goodbye to Wei Tingshang and Qing Ning, Mu Yun pondered for a moment, turned to "Ayi" and said, "Junior sister, are you going back to Linggui Garden?"
"Ayi" tilted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, senior brother, do you want to follow me to meet my eldest brother?"
Mu Yun's heart was clogged and he coughed helplessly: "It's better to avoid it. Take care of yourself and don't let Master and me worry about it."
"Ayi" felt funny in his heart, and brushed his hair beside his ear and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I won't catch you again, but since you don't want to go, I can't force you to do anything~"
Mu Yun hummed, but "Ayi" looked at Xiao Lei and said with a smile: "Brother Yue, what about you, do you want to give me a gift?"
Xiao Lei patted his chest and said boldly, "Send it off! I'm not as graceless as Da Mu Tou. Miss Yi, let's go. We'll get to know you better on the way."
Seeing Xiao Lei holding "A Yi's" hand and rushing away impatiently, Mu Yun kept holding his forehead and quickly dissuaded him: "Master Lei, wait a minute, it's too late today, why don't we go back first and look for him another day?" My junior sister is reminiscing about old times."
Xiao Lei was not willing to listen and said without looking back: "Don't meddle in your own business, Damu. I can take care of myself, and don't wait for me to have dinner. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Mu Yun looked powerless for a while, then he saw "Ayi" looking back and smiling, with a sly and smug expression on his face.
Knowing that Xiaolei was so obsessed with sex that even nine cows might not be able to pull her back, Mu Yun simply ignored her and only gestured to "Ayi", asking her to take care of Xiaolei Zhoufang.
"Ayi" understood and responded with the same gesture. The two women held hands and soon disappeared.
When he arrived, he was surrounded by friends, but when he left, he was alone. Mu Yun couldn't help laughing at himself, and walked down the mountain sadly.
By the time Mu Yun returned to Yunleixuan, the sun had completely set. The main and east compartments were dark, but the west compartment was brightly lit.
Mu Yun was stunned for a moment when he saw this, wondering how Xiaolei could have come back earlier than him. He stepped forward in confusion and heard a burst of giggles coming from the room, which seemed to be the voices of Qu Jingjing and Qu Yingying.
Mu Yun was even more surprised now. He walked to the door and took a closer look. His eyes widened in an instant and he exclaimed: "Ah!...is it...is it you?"
The Qu family sisters were indeed in the room, and there were two other guests, one of whom was a vigorous old man and the other a charming and flawless girl.
The old man was over sixty years old. Although his hair was as white as silver, his face was red and he was quite blessed. However, he did not have a beard on his chin, which looked a bit out of place.
Wearing a sapphire blue Hunan embroidered robe and azure cloth shoes, the workmanship of the clothes and accessories is quite exquisite, which shows that this family has extraordinary background.
Although the girl was only twenty-eight years old, she already showed the beauty of the country. She had a beautiful nose like jade, red lips like cherry blossoms, raised eyebrows and a clever smile. She was so graceful that she was truly dazzlingly beautiful.
Wearing a well-cut jade-colored shirt and skirt, it outlined an extremely beautiful and delicate figure, making the girl look even more charming.
Mu Yun couldn't believe his eyes. His mouth felt dry for a moment, and his heart couldn't stop pounding. He stammered: "Ting... Ting'er, it's really you... here." What?"
