Xiao Muyang did not enter the bamboo forest again, but returned to the room and found that He Jingyuan and Cai'er were both here.
Seeing Xiao Muyang's return, Cai'er's face suddenly showed a joyful look, and she said, "Brother Muyang, where did you go just now? Daddy and I have been waiting here for a long time and didn't see you. We thought you were lost."
"I just walked around." Xiao Muyang responded with a smile, looked at He Jingyuan and said, "Is Uncle He free?"
"Almost, everything has been arranged. The coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin." He Jingyuan nodded, looked at the two of them and warned: "Now the big forces in Wangyue City have almost arrived, and there are many big shots coming. You guys are waiting. Everyone should be careful and don't cause trouble."
"Understood." Cai'er replied immediately.
I saw a hint of thinking in Xiao Muyang's eyes. He was wondering whether he should tell He Jingyuan what he just heard. After all, he was the manager of Linghu Villa. If he told Linghu Qingyue, it might be credible. The degree is higher.
But on second thought, he gave up.
Although He Jingyuan is in charge, he is actually only in charge of some chores in Linghu Villa and does not have much say. If he falls into the conflict between the two major forces, his future will undoubtedly be ruined and the days to come will be very sad.
So he pretended not to know anything, looked at He Jingyuan and replied with a smile: "Uncle He, don't worry."
"Well, it's almost time. Let's go over and have a look." He Jingyuan said, and then the three of them left the courtyard together and walked towards the place where the coming-of-age ceremony was held.
At this time, the area was extremely lively, with people standing in all directions, communicating with each other, and seemed to know each other, and the atmosphere was lively and relaxed.
A sumptuous banquet was laid out in the open space, and some exquisite maids shuttled between the seats, revealing a pleasing beauty that attracted the attention of some guests.
As time passed, many people took their seats one after another, vaguely dividing areas according to their status.
People with great influence sit in the front area, and people with ordinary influence sit in the middle area. As for casual cultivators, they naturally sit in the back area. If their strength is too low, there will be no seats left for them. , can only stand and watch the ceremony.
After all, there were too many people coming to watch the ceremony, and it was impossible for Linghu Villa to arrange a seat for everyone. This was unrealistic and unnecessary.
At this time, from one direction of the crowd, several figures were walking towards this side. At this moment, the space became quiet. Countless people in the audience looked at those figures, or more precisely, at the people among them. A man and a woman.
The man is extraordinarily handsome, free and unrestrained, and the woman is as beautiful as a fairy, with peerless appearance. The two of them stand together. They are a perfect match.
"They really match each other." Many people around him sighed inwardly, and most of them showed envy in their eyes. This is the style of the descendants of powerful people. They are much better than ordinary people, and people can only look up to them.
The man and woman were Liu Fan and Linghu Qingyue, and the others beside them were Liu Ling and Linghu Qingyue's maids.
"Qingyue, they all seem to be looking at us." Liu Fan looked at the beautiful woman beside him with a smile. Linghu Qingyue's pretty face was slightly red, with a faint hint of shyness, and she said softly: "Let's go over."
"Okay." Liu Fan smiled and nodded, looking extremely humble and polite.
Liu Ling's beautiful eyes couldn't help but glance at Liu Fan, thinking that her brother is really good at pretending. No wonder Linghu Qingyue was so enamored of him. If she knew her brother's true thoughts in the future, she didn't know how she would feel about herself today. Thoughts.
You will probably feel extremely ridiculous and ignorant.
Thinking of this, Liu Ling couldn't help but sympathize with Linghu Qingyue. The man she loved never really loved her, he only created the illusion of love for profit, and she was kept in the dark all the time. She wanted to do something for him. It's so sad to give everything you have.
Of course, she only sympathized. As a member of the Liu family, she was naturally on Liu Fan's side.
Then a group of figures walked to the front of the seats. Only Liu Fan, Linghu Qingyue and Liu Ling sat down. The rest were of low status and naturally not qualified to sit down.
Linghu Qingyue looked around and saw no one else in the Liu family. She couldn't help but look at Liu Fan and asked, "Isn't Uncle Liu here yet?"
"I'm here, I must be looking for the owner of the village." Liu Fan responded.
"It should be like this." Linghu Qingyue nodded gently. With Uncle Liu's status, he should indeed be received by his father in person.
Not long after, Xiao Muyang and the other three also came here, but they were not qualified to sit down and could only stand in the crowd and watch the ceremony.
Looking forward, Xiao Muyang's expression suddenly froze, and his eyes stopped in one direction. He saw Linghu Qingyue, and he also discovered that the man and woman sitting next to Linghu Qingyue at this time were the same people who were sitting next to Linghu Qingyue. The couple he met outside the bamboo forest.
This undoubtedly confirmed his suspicion that Young Master Liu had been deceiving Linghu Qingyue.
"Brother Muyang, what are you looking at?" Seeing Xiao Muyang's eyes always staring in one direction, Cai'er asked curiously.
"There are many guests here today, and I feel very shocked inside." Xiao Muyang responded with a smile.
"I told you to come to see the world, didn't I lie to you?" Cai'er put her hands on her hips, a look of pride on her pretty face.
"This girl." He Jingyuan couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and glanced at Xiao Muyang, with a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
For some reason, Xiao Muyang gave him an unfathomable feeling. He looked young, but his eyes revealed a somewhat mature temperament. He must have had extraordinary experiences in the past, otherwise he wouldn't have been hunted down here. .
As for seeing the world, I'm afraid he may not have seen more than this kid.
"Look over there, the people from the City Lord's Mansion have arrived." Someone in the crowd shouted a voice, which instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
From one direction, dozens of figures were seen walking towards them. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, with an easy-going face and bright eyes. He had a faintly elegant demeanor, just like a scholar.
At this moment, countless people's eyes are focused on this middle-aged man, who is the lord of Wangyue City, Xu Yue.
Behind Xu Yue, there was a young man in purple with outstanding temperament, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, gentle and elegant, and his appearance was 78% similar to Xu Yue. He was Xu Tianlei, the son of Xu Yue and the young lord of Wangyue City.
Many people's eyes also fell on Xu Tianlei, especially some young girls. Their beautiful eyes showed a look of nymphomaniacs. They hoped that Xu Tianlei could take another look at him. However, this was obviously just an extravagant wish.
Xu Tianlei always looked straight ahead, never looking at anyone next to him.
I saw a group of people from the City Lord's Mansion walking forward, heading straight to the front area of the banquet. The crowd around them looked calm as usual when they saw this scene, and did not feel anything was wrong.
The City Lord's Mansion is the well-deserved number one force in Wangyue City, with thousands of years of heritage. Even the Liu Family and Linghu Villa are a bit inferior. Now that the City Lord has arrived in person, he should be sitting at the front.
At this time, Linghu Qingyue, Liu Fan and Liu Ling all stood up and looked at the people coming from the City Lord's Mansion. Linghu Qingyue bowed towards Xu Yue and said, "Qingyue pays homage to the City Lord."
Xu Yue looked at her, nodded slightly, and asked, "Where is your father?"
"In the village, dad must not know that the city lord is coming in person. If he knew, he would definitely greet him personally." Linghu Qingyue responded. This sentence made the crowd look strange, secretly thinking that the master of Linghu Village really gave birth to a child. A good daughter, so good at talking, it's hard to feel disgusted.
Xu Yue looked deeply at Linghu Qingyue. He was originally a little dissatisfied with Linghu Feng for not coming out to greet him, but after hearing Linghu Qingyue's words, he suddenly felt much better.
"Brother Xu, long time no see!" A voice suddenly came out. It was Liu Fan who spoke, and he looked at Xu Tianlei next to Xu Yue.
"When we meet today, Brother Liu's demeanor seems to be even better than before!" Xu Tianlei responded with a smile. This sentence was obviously polite, but when it came from his mouth, it did not make people feel disgusted.
When everyone heard the conversation between the two, a strange look appeared on their faces.
There are two great geniuses in Wangyue City, one is Liu Fan and the other is Xu Tianlei. Their talents are about the same. Now they have both entered the realm of heaven. It is rumored that the two have been secretly competing for each other. Why do they look like this today? So close, as if they were friends who have known each other for many years.
"Brother Xu has arrived in person. Linghu did not greet him personally. I hope Brother Xu will forgive me for the poor reception." At this time, a powerful voice came from a distance.
The crowd turned their eyes one after another and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see two figures coming from the depths of the villa. These two figures were none other than Linghu Feng and Liu Hong, the head of the Liu family.
Seeing Linghu Feng and Liu Hong coming together, Xu Yue frowned slightly. Are these two people so close already?
However, in the blink of an eye, the two of them landed on the banquet. Linghu Feng cupped his hands towards Xu Yue and said, "I did not know beforehand that Brother Xu was coming in person. Please forgive me."
"Brother Linghu said something serious." Xu Yue waved his hand, as if he didn't care at all. There is no point in pursuing these matters at this time.
"Brother Xu and Brother Liu have arrived together today, which really makes our Linghu Villa shine. Please take a seat, both of you." Linghu Feng looked at the two of them and laughed loudly, seeming to be in a very happy mood.
"Brother Linghu, you're polite." Xu Yue and Liu Hong clasped their fists and then sat down.
Neither of them was sitting in the first seat. Today they were just guests. They came to witness Linghu Qingyue's coming-of-age ceremony, so naturally they couldn't overshadow the guest.
Linghu Feng looked around the crowd and seemed to have discovered something. He looked at Linghu Qingyue and asked, "Isn't your teacher here yet?"
"Not yet, he should be on the way." Linghu Qingyue replied.
The crowd's eyes flashed when they heard this. They naturally knew who Linghu Qingyue's teacher was, the No. 1 piano master in Wangyue City.
Master Zong not only has profound and unpredictable attainments in Qin Dao, but is also powerful in martial arts. He entered the realm of Tiangang many years ago and is extremely prestigious and loved in Wangyue City.
"I'm late, don't blame me." Just as everyone was thinking, a somewhat apologetic voice suddenly came from outside.
The crowd subconsciously turned their attention over there, and saw a group of figures walking from outside the villa. In the middle was an old man, wearing a dark robe. He looked very old, but his eyes were very bright, and behind him there were still Followed by some young figures, all of them have outstanding temperament.
"Master Zong!"
Immediately, low voices came from the crowd. The old man in black robes who came over was clearly Linghu Qingyue’s teacher, Zong Lingfeng!
