"Snow Dragon Guard Eleven, see Your Highness."
A hoarse voice sounded on the top of the city, and Ying Xueer narrowed her eyes slightly. This action she learned from her brother, because it seemed very oppressive, so she would subconsciously squint her eyes every time like this.
Snow Dragon Guard?
What is it?
Dad didn't tell her about such a thing before leaving.
Although the voice was hoarse, it was still clear that it was a woman's voice. Ying Xueer looked at her kneeling and raised her hand.
"Can you tell me what the Snow Dragon Guard is?"
After receiving her signal, the woman in black cloak stood up slowly. She stood very straight. It was not difficult to see her respect for the girl in front of her.
"We are His Highness's personal guards. We will be responsible for your safety while you are at the border."
The woman who called herself "Eleven" answered.
Bodyguard?
Ying Xueer was a little confused when she heard this term. Although her father had told her about this matter, he said at the time that she would be the one to choose the candidate. However, because this girl stayed in the bookstore all year round, this matter came before her arrival. It had been stranded before, and she had never organized it. So where did the Snow Dragon Guard, which claimed to be her "personal bodyguard", come from?
Ying Xueer was thinking about all the possibilities. Suddenly, her eyes curled up, as if she thought of something, and her tone suddenly became brisk.
"You were left to me by my brother, right?"
Apart from her brother, she couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.
My father said that he would not interfere in this matter if she was the one to choose. Even if she did not organize it, she would not intervene rashly.
The other second uncle and aunt butterfly will not interfere without authorization.
There is only one person who is worried about her and is not afraid of being blamed by her for interfering without authorization.
The brother who loves her the most.
Eleven nodded: "Accept the Lord's order."
"When were you formed?"
After confirming that this strange Snow Dragon Guard was Ying Baiye's handiwork, Ying Xueer's vigilant body suddenly relaxed.
But since it is a personal guard, loyalty is very important. She is not worried that the conditions of this personal guard are not up to standard. She is simply curious about when her brother prepared this team.
"Seven years ago."
"..."
Seven years ago, it was exactly a year after Ying Baiye came to Yinglong City.
So early?
However, Ying Xueer was curious again. It was so early, so what was the source of the personnel of this Snow Dragon Guard?
After she asked this question, Eleven paused slightly before continuing to answer.
"We are young masters...the ones who were not chosen."
They once had the opportunity to be favored by that young master, but in the end they did not stay with him.
They don't seem to have that qualification.
"The one who wasn't chosen?"
Ying Xueer was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something.
It probably started when my brother first came to Yinglong City for a year. Suddenly, it was discovered in the mansion that this young master had a special hobby, which was to bring some strange people back to the mansion from time to time, but these people generally If he couldn't keep her for three days, he would send her away to who knows where.
The person closest to this situation is Yanmeng, the girl from the Spirit Fox tribe.
But she is the most special one among these people. She followed her brother to Beicang Spiritual Academy. According to Eleven's words, she may be the... chosen one?
But in this way, she also figured out the origins of these people.
They are those people who attracted my brother's interest, but then let him go after the interest wore off.
In Sister Jiuling's words, my brother always likes to collect some "weird people", and the Snow Dragon Guard is probably composed of these "weird people".
However, since that time, has my brother started preparing this personal guard for himself?
"Really, do I look so uneasy?"
Ying Xueer puffed up her face, but it only lasted two seconds before a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face.
My heart feels warm, and I miss my brother a little bit.
…
At the flower banquet, light and shadow intersect.
This banquet lasted for a long time, and apart from the boring competition, it could be said that there was nothing to see.
But with Lingxi chatting with him, Ying Baiye didn't feel bored at all.
It can only be said that the location they chose is relatively quiet and will not be disturbed by those in front.
During this period, Hua Yiyue sent someone to ask them if they wanted to change their seats to the top, but Ying Baiye refused. They originally came here to sit down in order to have some peace and quiet. If they wanted to change to the top, they would have to put the cart before the horse.
In such an atmosphere, the flower banquet ended just like that.
"Hey, I sent my men to check it out. The people from the Shadow Chamber of Commerce are already outside and ready. What are you going to do? Do you want us to stop them?"
Xia Youran leaned against the wall and said to Ying Baiye.
To be honest, she was surprised that Liu Ying didn't choose to break in and cause trouble during the flower banquet. She guessed that someone sensible in the Shadow Chamber of Commerce persuaded this stupid fly, and then waited for the flowers. I came over after the banquet was over.
Otherwise, if this flower banquet is ruined, the Shadow Chamber of Commerce will be able to say goodbye to Fanhua Town's nectar supply rights in advance for the next year.
After hearing her words, Ying Baiye did not answer, but looked at Lingxi.
Lingxi received his gaze and nodded gently.
Ying Baiye smiled slightly and looked directly at Hua Ruoran who was sitting over there: "Let's go, take me to see your mother."
Hua Ruoran was slightly startled.
Are you in such a hurry?
However, she quietly took a look at Ling Xi, who looked indifferent.
Can this woman who looks about their age really be able to deal with the people from the Shadow Chamber of Commerce outside?
Ying Baiye didn't give her a chance to ask. By the time she reacted, Ying Baiye had already come to her side.
Hua Ruoran stood up quickly and exhaled: "Then follow me."
Not paying attention to the matters here anymore, she led Ying Baiye towards the room at the back of the hall. She knew where her mother was now.
The two figures disappeared in the hall. Lingxi raised the tea cup and took a sip of the tea in the cup.
"Sister Lingxi, what should we do next?"
Xia Youran said enthusiastically.
Others don't know it, but she knows some of Lingxi's true strength.
Spiritual Formation Master, that is truly the supreme level.
However, there are still more or less First Grade Supremes among the people outside, and they don’t know what Lingxi is going to do.
Lingxi glanced at her, stood up from his seat, moved lightly, and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Xia Youran was slightly startled when he saw her behavior.
Eh? Is this the plan to... directly force him?
She quickly stood up from her seat and chased after Ling Xi's back impatiently.
The Supreme Battle, what a beautiful scene, it makes people excited just thinking about it.
On the other side, Ying Baiye followed Hua Ruoran into a house. Hua Yiyue sat on the main seat and looked at the young man in white who strode in with a slight twinkle in his eye.
"What does Young Master Ying want from me?"
Hua Yiyue asked directly about the purpose of her visit, without any intention of being muddled.
You should use a certain tone when communicating with any kind of person. She felt that the genius of Bei Cang Lingyuan most likely didn't like to be long-winded.
Ying Baiye raised his eyes, stared at the dignified woman in front of him, and smiled slightly: "I'm here to ask for the face I gave you to the mayor."
That's pretty straightforward.
It seems that this face cannot be exchanged for face.
He didn't know what Ying Baiye wanted that was worthy of him coming to ask for it.
However, Ying Baiye's treasure was originally prepared at today's flower banquet, but in the end, Xia Youran got it. It must be that he despises those things.
It doesn't hurt to listen to what kind of requirements this promising genius will have and what he wants, no matter how precious it is, as long as it doesn't exceed that range, Hua Yiyue can give it to him.
"What do you want, Master?"
Hua Yiyue asked, waiting for his answer.
Then, Ying Baiye opened his mouth slightly and expressed his request.
Whether it is coming to Fanhua Town, attending a flower banquet, or waiting for Hua Yiyue's words, it is all for now, for this request made now.
The moment he answered, the entire living room became silent.
Whether it was Hua Yiyue sitting in the main seat or Hua Ruoran standing aside, a trace of disbelief flashed in their eyes when they heard this answer.
A very surprising request.
There are no treasures involved, and no demands are made.
It's so simple that it's incredible.
Hua Yiyue nodded subconsciously and agreed to Ying Baiye's request.
At that moment, Ying Baiye didn't know what he thought of, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
The smile was very gentle, just like the spring breeze blowing on the face, and like the warm sun in winter. Hua Ruoran next to her froze in place after seeing it, and her heart beat violently.
It is really like a beautiful picture that I want to leave in my heart forever.
She stood outside the door and looked at Ying Baiye's back as he turned and left. At that moment, for some reason, a slight melancholy arose in her heart.
"Forget Ji Dong now, keep your admiration from the beginning." Hua Yiyue walked to her side and said to her daughter in a gentle tone.
"You can't keep up with him."
"I know." Hua Ruoran's voice was calm, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. “You shouldn’t have unrealistic expectations from the beginning.”
Some people are like this. Just a brief contact is enough to disturb the spring water in a girl's heart.
However, she knew it from the beginning.
She didn't have that chance.
Especially after hearing Ying Baiye's request.
"It's still as good as before..."
…
In the small courtyard of the mayor's residence, Xia Youran stared at the scene in front of her in stunned silence, swallowing subconsciously.
Lingxi, dressed in white, stood by the bridge, surrounded by the supreme powerhouses who fell to the ground.
Xia Youran thought it would be an evenly matched battle, but she didn't expect that from the moment Lingxi threw the spiritual formation, it was already a one-sided crushing.
Liu Ying looked at that magnificent figure with fear in her eyes.
What was he thinking at the flower banquet?
This person is unknown, and then it's almost... unimportant?
hiss--
He seems really stupid...
Ying Baiye's figure appeared in the small courtyard. He didn't care about the endgame in front of him, or in other words, this scene was within his expectation.
He just came to Lingxi's side and smiled gently at her.
"Let's go back to the inn."
Lingxi didn't ask him what he had done, but just nodded slightly.
The two walked side by side and slowly left this place.
From the beginning to the end, he never glanced at the fallen Shadow Chamber of Commerce people around him.
They could only watch the two people leave.
It is this moment that symbolizes the end of tonight's flower banquet...
However, somewhere in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, there was a line of sight looking at Ying Baiye as he left, his eyes flickering.
Emotions... dark and unclear.
