Maybe Xia Youran, the eldest lady, was a little too eager to reach a verbal agreement with Ying Baiye, so she paid another visit the day after she left Ying Baiye and Lingxi's residence.
To be honest, Ying Baiye doesn't like guys who are too enthusiastic, especially since this enthusiasm contains a strong purpose.
"Sorry, sorry, you misunderstood. I'm not here to find you this time."
Xia Youran was keenly aware of the change in Ying Baiye's eyes and quickly shook the invitation in her hand. "I'm here to deliver a message to you for someone else."
Delivering a letter?
"Whose letter?"
Ying Baiye asked in confusion. It seemed like he didn't know anyone in Fanhua Town.
"Haha." Xia Youran looked away appropriately, avoiding Ying Baiye's probing eyes, with an awkward expression on her face. "Well, this is the invitation letter that the mayor asked me to give you."
Mayor? Mayor of Fanhua Town?
Ying Baiye frowned slightly. He had hidden this trip from many people. How did the mayor know about his appearance here?
Thinking of this, he stared at the woman in front of him, his golden eyes full of inquiry.
With him staring at her like this, Xia Youran felt a lot of pressure on her. Her shoulders slumped and she sat helplessly opposite Ying Baiye, raising her hands as if to surrender.
"Okay, okay, I admit, I accidentally let it slip. Your reputation is not small in Beicang Continent these days. As soon as the mayor heard that you were here, he prepared a flower banquet. The invitation wants to invite you to the door, and as you know, our family is also competing for the supply of nectar in Fanhua Town during this period, so I have no choice but to take on this task."
Xia Youran clasped her hands in front of Ying Baiye.
"Master Ying, please help me. If you don't come with me, my uncle who is in charge of this transaction will kill me."
Ha, Ying Baiye wanted to see how a supervisor killed his eldest daughter. That scene would be very interesting.
But a group banquet?
"I agreed." Ying Baiye nodded, spiritual power surged in his hand, and the invitation instantly flew out of Xia Youran's fingers and landed in his hand.
"What if you...eh? Agree?"
Xia Youran raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Just now, this man had a look on his face that said "If you don't give me an explanation, I'll kill you right now". Xia Youran was prepared to bleed heavily, but she didn't expect to agree so easily?
Ying Baiye did not respond to her, but opened the invitation in his hand.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being the richest town in Hua Nectar. The words on this invitation are all inlaid with gold, especially the three-character signature "Ying Baiye", which is made of fine jade. Such a simple invitation is already of great value.
The general content of the invitation was similar to what Xia Youran said, including time, location, name of the party, and name of the inviter. It was a pretty standard invitation.
Ying Baiye closed the invitation and nodded towards Xia Youran: "I had originally planned to go to the mayor to inquire about some things. This invitation is just in time. I will go to the appointment."
"Huh, that's good." Xia Youran breathed out relaxedly. It seemed that this time she could extort more things from Uncle Pang.
However, thinking that it might be Ying Baiye's first time coming to Fanhua Town, she did not leave in a hurry: "The Flower Banquet is actually a party. Although Fanhua Town is a famous commercial town, its actual strength is not outstanding in Beicang Continent. , so every year at this time, Fanhua Town always takes advantage of the Flower Festival to invite some famous geniuses from various sects to hold a banquet, which is called the Flower Banquet."
"However, the gold content of this banquet is actually not very high. Every year after the invitations are sent out, only some second-rate geniuses will come to the banquet. If the young masters of our three major chambers of commerce hadn't come to participate in the transaction this time, I'm afraid that The people we call will be the same as in previous years.”
This is actually the reason why the three major chambers of commerce sent their own young masters to participate in the transaction this time. It can also be regarded as a goodwill gesture to Fanhua Town, hoping to gain the competitiveness of their own chamber of commerce in the transaction process.
But what the three major chambers of commerce may not have expected is that all three of them actually thought of this method at the same time. This time they actually sent out all their young masters, which was a tacit understanding.
Then the young master of a certain chamber of commerce suffered a mental illness and was seriously injured before the transaction and was unable to come. He was already at a disadvantage during the transaction, so his half-sister was not to blame. He would scold him for being a idiot all the way.
"Gold content? It's okay, I don't care about those things."
Ying Baiye’s voice was very calm.
The value of a banquet depends on the guests attending the banquet.
And as long as he goes to Ying Baiye, it already represents the three words "gold content".
Xia Youran was stunned for a moment, then shook his head mockingly.
Indeed, among the younger generation, who's name can surpass that of the one in front of him? Even if Mo Xingtian comes, I'm afraid he can only fight for an evenly matched name.
But in this case, Liu Dayou might be unhappy. He had long planned to be the brightest star in this flower banquet. When Ying Baiye comes, I'm afraid his bright moon will be destroyed. It has become the light of fireflies used to weigh it.
She was happy just thinking about it. As long as Liu Ying's fly could be deflated, she, Xia Youran, would be as comfortable as standing in the cold wind on a hot summer day.
"Then see you tonight."
Xia Youran stood up, waved to Ying Baiye with a smile on her pretty face, and then left Ying Baiye's room with her long legs.
Ying Baiye looked at the invitation placed on the table and shrugged.
Let's talk about tonight's affairs in the evening. Now it's more comfortable to go to your room and stay with your sister for a while.
…
After leaving the inn, Xia Youran raised her hand and looked at the index and middle fingers of her right hand. She narrowed her eyes slightly and her expression became more solemn.
Just now, it was these two fingers holding the invitation, but before Ying Baiye could react, she used her spiritual power to snatch away the invitation.
This is just a small detail, but judging from this detail, it is the difference in strength between the two.
Ying Baiye's strength is stronger than hers, and this kind of strength is not just a little bit stronger.
It seems that during the time since leaving Zhenjiao City, it is not just Mo Xingtian who has moved forward. The number one evildoer of Beicang Spiritual Academy does not seem to be standing still either.
What about her?
Unconsciously, she seemed to be pulled a little too far away by these two people.
"Huh~ This time I really have to fight with all my life to conquer that ruins."
…
Back in the room, Ying Baiye sat next to Ling Xi, picked up a book on the bed, and started reading.
Lingxi next to him saw him coming in, put down the slip in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and stared at him, not knowing what he was looking at.
Ying Baiye noticed her eyes and looked over in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with you." Lingxi narrowed his eyes and said, "It's so wrong."
"???"
Ying Baiye lowered his head and took a look at his clothes, then picked up the mirror and took a look at his face.
What's wrong?
Isn't this all normal?
Lingxi reached out and pressed the mirror in his hand, slid down from the bed, sat next to him, and looked at him seriously: "You know that's not what I'm talking about. For invitations like this, you usually I don’t like it the most, but this time I took it without even thinking about it, it’s so wrong.”
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes again: "Tell me, are you hiding something from me?"
"How could I hide something from you? Sister, you think too much."
Ying Baiye started sideways, but Lingxi quickly stretched out his hands and held his face, preventing him from turning his head.
His eyes were wandering and his right index finger was moving wildly.
This guy has a guilty conscience.
Lingxi quickly came to this conclusion.
To be honest, to outsiders, Ying Baiye might be considered a person who was quite good at hiding himself, but in front of Ling Xi, it was almost obvious whether he was lying or not.
It’s so obvious.
"Stare~"
Lingxi's beautiful black and white eyes and Ying Baiye's golden eyes looked at each other.
After a moment, Lingxi looked away.
"Can't you tell me yet?"
Generally speaking, there were almost no secrets between the two of them. Ying Baiye would never hide anything from her, and she would talk to Baiye about everything.
But now that Ying Baiye is in this situation, it's possible that he can't tell her for the time being.
"Roughly the same."
Ying Baiye smiled. "It'll take a few days."
"Tsk." Lingxi couldn't help but smacked his lips.
I wouldn't have asked if I had known earlier, but now that I have asked, I can only let myself wonder here alone, which is a bit torturous.
The two jade hands holding Ying Baiye's face changed their gestures and pinched directly on Ying Baiye's handsome face.
She could only vent her dissatisfaction in this way.
Ying Baiye obediently had his face pinched by her, without any thought of evading or resisting.
He was pinched by her, but his thoughts had drifted far away. Speaking of which, that idea was probably decided before leaving Beicang Spiritual Academy.
Lingxi may not know that coming to Fanhua Town was not decided by her, but that Ying Baiye had already planned it a long time ago when she learned about the existence of such a place.
Just wait for two more days, until the moment when a hundred flowers bloom, everything will be ready.
…
Flower feast.
The banquet was held at the mayor's residence in Fanhua Town. Taking advantage of the Flower Festival celebration, taking advantage of this lively time to entertain some of the most talented young people could be regarded as a contribution to Fanhua Town's strength. A propaganda.
After all, the Great Thousand World is a world where strength comes first. Temporary wealth is nothing. If there is not enough strength, everything is in vain.
On this point, the mayors of Fanhua Town have seen it very clearly.
Fanhua Town is a fragrant place that supplies more than half of Beicang Continent's nectar. This number seems shocking, but in fact it is just a piece of fat in the eyes of those powerful forces.
If it weren't for the fact that the nectar in Fanhua Town requires special techniques, a lot of manpower, and the fact that there are three chambers of commerce in Beicang Continent, Fanhua Town might not have its current status.
But be prepared for danger in times of peace. If you just keep indulging in this false wealth, the final result of Fanhua Town will definitely not end well.
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation from happening, every generation of mayor of Fanhua Town will formulate corresponding measures, and the flower banquet is one of the more common measures among these measures.
This is not just a simple banquet, but more importantly, it is actually a kind of wooing and investment from Fanhua Town to those young geniuses, forming a good relationship.
At the Flower Banquet, Fanhua Town invested a lot of resources, and the talents and treasures that appeared at the banquet would be in the hands of the selected young talent in a special way.
Some of these young geniuses will remember this good deed and when they grow up in the future, they will give Fanhua Town a certain amount of help within their ability.
In this way, the purpose of the flower banquet is achieved.
In fact, because of the flower banquet, many crises in the history of Fanhua Town were overcome with the help of those who had formed a good relationship and were once geniuses.
Therefore, every generation of the mayor of Fanhua Town will attach great importance to this activity.
It is because of this that the three major chambers of commerce followed suit and sent their young masters over to participate in the transaction.
Therefore, don't underestimate such a banquet, which does not seem to be very valuable. The significance contained in it is enough to affect the development of a town.
Ying Baiye sat in the carriage of Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce, listening to Xia Youran's eloquent narration, and turned another page of the book.
He got this book from Lingxi because he felt bored.
Lingxi was sitting next to him, also holding a book. Neither of them spoke. As a result, in this carriage with only three people, Xia Youran's voice was the only one who kept talking. echo.
After describing the meaning of the flower banquet, Xia Youran realized that she seemed to be ignored by the two people in front of her.
She patted her forehead helplessly: "So, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, let's form a good relationship."
Ying Baiye closed the book and looked at her. "I didn't come here because I had no desires or desires."
"I think you don't understand at all." Xia Youran sighed helplessly. "What I want to say is that some very precious treasures of heaven and earth will be born at the Flower Banquet. With your strength and fame, you will definitely be able to gain something. So, don't take this banquet seriously. Otherwise you will suffer a loss."
"That's right." Ying Baiye nodded. "Understood."
Tsk.
Does your family look so unconcerned when they understand?
She was really treating her well-meaning as a donkey's liver and lungs, and all her talk for a long time was in vain.
Forget it, he was just going through the motions. If Ying Baiye didn't care, she would have one less competitor.
Perhaps it was because the quality of the guests at this group banquet was relatively high, so the treasures displayed were also extraordinary, some of which even she, the eldest lady of the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce, was jealous of.
It can only be said that Fanhua Town is famous for its rich and powerful people.
Crossing her slender legs, Xia Youran leaned against the wall of the carriage and opened the curtain on the side.
The scene outside has begun to become more and more prosperous. The carriage stepped on the exquisite stone bridge and disturbed the koi carp playing nearby. The clear pond was filled with waves one after another, and the sleeping water lilies seemed to I was also woken up at this time, stretching out a graceful curve under the moonlight, like the first slump after waking up.
Xia Youran was attracted by this scenery, and her expression gradually softened.
This is the most beautiful place in Fanhua Town, the center of Fanhua Town, and the mayor's mansion.
That is, after stepping on the stone bridge, the movement of the carriage stopped. The carriage stopped in place and did not move forward.
Xia Youran turned her head and seemed to have heard the busy traffic and lively scene outside.
She looked at Ying Baiye in front of her, her red lips parted slightly.
Said such a sentence.
"Master Ying, welcome to the Flower Banquet."
Well, it seems that this sentence is not what she said...
