Those seats are almost the best seats in the hall besides the main seat. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have been empty until now.
Lu Jing originally wanted to remind Cheng Guan verbally, but then he felt that Cheng Guan was too steady to think of such a thing, so he didn't speak again and followed Cheng Guan silently with other academy disciples.
As the eight people walked towards the center of the hall, as Lu Jing expected, more and more eyes fell on them. Even the people who were previously intoxicated in the singing and dancing turned their eyes from the thighs and legs of the dancers. Moved away from the chest.
Cheng Guan, however, acted as if he didn't feel anything. He still held his head high and kept his previous pace, neither speeding up nor slowing down deliberately.
Walking all the way to the table in the middle, I put down my robe and was about to sit down when I heard a very strange voice coming from not far away, "Wait a minute!"
The speaker was a foreign man with a high nose, deep-set eye sockets, blond hair and brown eyes. He was quite handsome, but for some reason his eyes always looked a little evil.
It must be that he and his men's skin were tanned because they often made a living at sea. He spoke in fluent Chinese, "You can't sit in this place."
Cheng Guan sneered, "What a joke, this is the capital of my country, Chen, and this is my palace. When will it be your turn to point fingers?"
After saying that, he sat down unceremoniously.
The man with blond hair and brown eyes shook his head when he saw this, "I remember there is a saying in your Chen Dynasty, which seems to be that it's hard to persuade a damned devil with good words. I would like to remind you that it's okay if you don't listen. Why do you still use verbal abuse? , Does the majestic heavenly country only have this kind of magnanimity?"
"Showing the magnanimity of the Celestial Dynasty is what the Ministry of Rites should do. What does it have to do with our Tianjian?" Cheng Guan said confidently.
The foreign man who claimed to be a prince was so retorted by him that he was speechless for a moment.
Cheng Guan had already begun to invite Lu Jing and others to sit down.
However, his move was tantamount to provocation in the eyes of the group of foreigners, so the guy who claimed to be a prince changed his face when he saw this. He narrowed his eyes, suddenly reached out and grabbed a chopstick on the table, and threw it Towards Chengguan.
The chopsticks were obviously filled with inner energy, and with the roaring sound of the wind, they looked astonishingly powerful. If they were poked, they would either die or be maimed.
As a result, Cheng Guan did not dodge, and still sat in his position, just like Jiang Taigong sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
The chopsticks flew to Cheng Guan in the blink of an eye, but then stopped less than half an inch away from Cheng Guan's face, as if being pinched by a transparent palm. Finally, It fell weakly from mid-air and landed at Cheng Guan's feet.
The foreign man who called himself the prince snorted coldly, "I don't care who you are, but you'd better keep your mouth clean, otherwise it won't be a warning next time."
At the end of his words, he was a little discouraged, because in his original idea, the low-ranking official of the Chen Dynasty should be scared to death by his flying chopsticks, and his face turned pale.
After discovering that it was a false alarm, he was so angry that he jumped up and down, losing face. Unexpectedly, Chengguan had a bad mouth, but his courage was not bad at all.
No, not only was it not bad, it was full of courage. Thinking of the foreign man who claimed to be a prince, he couldn't help but regret. He should not have held back just now and directly killed the Chen Dynasty official. He did have such a feeling at the time. Impulsively, just thinking about where they are now, they still don't want to make things too big.
Unexpectedly, he was given another wave of prestige by the other party. Although he also showed good skills, he still made wedding clothes for others, feeling resentful in his heart.
Lu Jing also sat down next to Cheng Guan at this time, and gave the latter a thumbs up, "Master Cheng stayed calm in the face of danger, he is truly a hero!"
But what surprised Lu Jing was that when he finished saying this, Cheng Guan still had no reaction, just like a clay sculpture.
Lu Jing was still thinking that Cheng Guan was addicted to pretending and had to put on that air in front of his own people, but then he saw a large amount of sweat suddenly oozing out of the latter's forehead, and his face turned pale.
Cheng Guan turned his head and glared at Lu Jing, "You... why didn't you take action just now?!"
"Huh?" Lu Jing was a little confused, "Mr. Cheng, you want us to take action? But seeing your calm look, I thought you were confident."
"Isn't it because of you that I am confident?" Cheng Guan rolled his eyes, "Otherwise, I, an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts and has no cultivation, would dare to fight against those Huangmao Fans who don't seem to be easy to get along with. , but luckily for you, no one helped me at the critical moment."
The more Mr. Cheng spoke, the sadder his tone became, "If that person didn't just scare me, you would never see me again."
Lu Jing saw that he was sad, so he could only comfort him, "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, there won't be another time. If you encounter any danger later, I will definitely take action in time and I will definitely protect you."
After receiving the assurance from Lu Jing, a top-notch master, Cheng Guan felt at ease again and his expression gradually returned to normal.
The whole person returned to his previous stable appearance.
However, Lu Jing noticed that the hostile glances around him had not diminished, and many of them looked at them with a sense of schadenfreude in their eyes, as if they were waiting for something to happen.
However, except for the foreign man who claimed to be a prince, no one came to trouble them again, which made Master Cheng a little regretful as he was about to show off his heroic skills.
After Lu Jing and others took their seats, several groups of strangers entered the Chui Gong Hall one after another, and soon the tables in the hall were almost full.
Everyone thought that tonight's banquet was about to begin, but no one expected that they would have to wait for another hour and a half. By the time the moon outside the hall had risen very high, the dancers in the hall had also changed several times. Everyone was hungry, and then they heard the announcement from the eunuch outside the door, saying that the official family was about to arrive.
As a result, everyone who finally managed to cheer up waited eagerly for half an hour, but still could not see the official's shadow.
Even Cheng Guan couldn't help but complain. Fortunately, after another quarter of an hour, footsteps finally came from outside the hall.
Then I saw a middle-aged man seven feet tall, with a strange appearance and a square forehead, striding into the hall surrounded by a group of people.
