Chi Xiaodai shuttled among the people at the banquet, with a slight smile on her face, constantly raising glasses and chatting with the guests.
Whether it was the villagers of Snow Valley, her colleagues from other departments in the building, or the disciples in the building who were specially called back to attend the banquet, she was able to handle them calmly through her extremely high emotional intelligence and beautiful appearance.
Hongye and Bi'an were dumbfounded by this situation. They usually got close to Chi Xiaotai and knew very well what kind of temperament the host's junior sister had.
To put it simply, if you give her a book and a cup of tea, she can stay in the Shenbing Pavilion for three days without coming out. During this period, she can have no contact with anyone at all and be completely immersed in her own world.
So not to mention this kind of large-scale dinner, even ordinary meetings and tasks in the building, anything that requires more than three people to form a team or participate, it is impossible to see Chi Xiaomo.
According to Li Mu's previous life, this woman with stunning beauty was just a pure super social phobic.
"Do you think that is still Sister Chi? Isn't it Lord Zimo who brought Sister Chi's mask to the party?"
"Um, I heard that the host asked Sister Chi to go out more often and not stay in the Shenbing Pavilion all day. Maybe it's enlightening her?"
"This enlightenment is too thorough. It wasn't like this yesterday. I just saw her talking to Li Mu for a long time. Could it be that she was influenced by that guy?"
"If it is really Brother Li's fault, then it can be considered a good thing. Sister Chi is usually too boring. Didn't the host and Miss Jing both say that this is not good for cultivation."
"A good thing is a good thing. I'm just curious about how that guy melted one of the two iceberg beauties in our Tingxue Tower with just a few words. I'm so angry."
"Look, Brother Li walked over, he seems to be looking for Sister Chi again."
Hong Ye and Bi An's whispers did not affect Li Mu's actions. Driven by the "mission reward", he stood behind Chi Xiao Tai again holding a wine glass.
"Li Shaoxia? Have you finished talking to Miss Jing? Judging from your expression, you shouldn't be troubled. In fact, Miss Jing is a very good person, but she doesn't like to smile, and her way of speaking is a bit special, but I guess this doesn't mean anything to you. It’s not an obstacle.”
Chi Xiaotai's smile was as bright as a flower, and her crystal eyes seemed to have the power to capture people's hearts. The disciples of Tingxue Tower who were watching on the side all showed fascination.
Every sect force will have several goddess-level figures. They are often stunningly talented and have invincible beauty, becoming the white moonlight in the hearts of countless disciples.
Tingxue Tower is no exception. If we had to list a favorite ranking, Chi Xiaomo would definitely be at the top.
It's not that Miss Jing, Zi Mo and the others are not as good-looking as Chi Xiao Tai, but due to their identity, status and age, the young disciples in the building are more inclined to target those who are similar to themselves in age. This is It is human nature and fact.
"Miss Chi is very good at predicting things. Her guess was absolutely correct. Senior Jing didn't make things difficult for me. He just asked a few questions and they have all been dealt with now."
Li Mu didn't reveal his purpose before he came up. He only had a preliminary understanding of Chi Xiaotai's character. If he was too aggressive from the beginning, it would most likely make the other party suspicious and wary.
And based on his experience with girls over the years, if a girl labels you as a "scumbag", "untrustworthy", or "problematic", it will be very, very difficult to reverse it later.
It was as if Hongye's "prejudice" against Li Mu's private life was completely ingrained and could not be changed overnight.
However, he was short on time and had heavy tasks, so he had to remain honest, use the art of language, and at the same time grasp Chi Xiaotai's psychology. Li Mu had to choose a step-by-step plan to gain the other party's trust step by step, and then achieve entrance. The purpose of the Shenbing Pavilion.
"That's good. Now that the guides have been safely brought back to the building, senior brother can finally let go of his worries. All this is thanks to Li Shaoxia's help. I would like to toast you with this glass of wine on behalf of senior brother."
How did Chi Xiaodai know Li Mu's "little thoughts"? The toast was to represent Tingxue Tower's thanks for his work in the snow.
For help in the Gu incident, the wine was drank down in one gulp, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
"Miss Chi is serious, but I may indeed need to chat in Tingxue Tower for a few more days. Firstly, the poison of red porridge in the villagers' bodies still needs to be observed. Secondly, I have exchanged some cultivation experiences with Senior Zimo before. There are some doubts among them, and I want to wait for my senior to come back before asking for advice."
Li Mu's "lie" was perfectly crafted. In public, he was responsible to the villagers of Snow Valley to the end. In private, he wanted to ask Zi Mo for advice on some cultivation doubts. This rhetoric was neither contrived nor in line with a person. The young monk's behavioral logic can be said to be impeccable.
"Of course there is no problem. It is the storm season in the snow realm. Even if you want to go out, it is not that easy. Why not stay in Tingxue Tower for a while, just as our thanks to you, and I believe that senior brother will also be very happy. I am happy to entertain you as a guest."
As expected, Chi Xiaotai showed no resistance to Li Mu's request and immediately agreed.
After all, as the king of the northern land, it is not a problem to entertain a talented monk like Li Mu. What's more, the other party has helped so much with the guide clan, so he wants to stay because of both emotions and reasons. Thank you very much.
"Thank you so much. I have encountered some bottlenecks in my practice recently. I'm afraid I will have to come to Miss Chi more often to learn from you. When I was in the secret realm, I was impressed by your strength. I kept thinking about it. It would be great to have the opportunity to discuss and learn from you."
Li Mu hurriedly pursued the victory, cleverly hiding his purpose of approaching the Shenbing Pavilion in inconspicuous words.
In fact, he was panicking to death. He felt like he was playing those visual games in his previous life. Any words he said could lead to different endings.
"No problem, I usually stay in the Shenbing Pavilion. You can come to me at any time, but it's really an exaggeration to ask for lessons. You are now a hot new star in the immortal world. Even the Guixu Sect has been tripped by you. I don't dare Let’s talk about what I can teach you, just learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses.”...
Chi Xiaotai's words made Li Mu's eyes light up. He originally thought that it would take a few more rounds to achieve his goal, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly invite him to the Shenbing Pavilion.
This result greatly exceeded his expectations, and it also made him understand that today should be the end of the day. If he continued to forcefully demand anything, he would probably undo the results he had already achieved.
"Okay, then I will definitely pay a visit to the Shenbing Pavilion. I'm really looking forward to it."
The banquet was still going on, and Li Mu also officially started his temporary stay at Tingxue Tower.
Deep in the majestic building, a golden attic is shining, and the words on the plaque above the door are shining, it is Shenbing Pavilion.
