People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er
Chapter 560 Banquet
Just as Medusa, Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were still immersed in the incredible fact that Medusa was pregnant, all kinds of complicated emotions lingered in their hearts for a moment, and it took a long time to calm down.
At the same time, inside the Xiao family mansion in the holy city of Nagama, there was another lively scene.
An extremely luxurious and unprecedented banquet has been prepared.
Located in the most central area of the Holy City of Gama, the Xiao family mansion covers a vast area.
At this moment, the entire mansion was brightly lit, as if it were daytime. The bright lights shone through the carved window lattices, illuminating the solemn and majestic gate of the mansion, making it shine brightly.
The luxurious hall where the banquet was held, located in the core area of the Xiao family mansion, was full of luxury and grandeur.
The palace door is made of fine mahogany, and is carefully carved with lifelike patterns of auspicious beasts. Every texture demonstrates the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen. The auspicious beasts seem to be about to break through the wall, revealing a lively aura.
As you step into the hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the towering dome, which is inlaid with countless gems emitting soft light, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky falling here, shrouding the entire hall in a dreamy halo.
The ground is paved with pieces of rare white jade. The delicate texture of the jade reflects a warm glow under the light, making people reluctant to step on it for fear of destroying this beauty.
The pillars around the hall are thick and tall, and the pillars are all wrapped in gold foil. They shine brightly under the light, showing their nobility.
The gold foil is also engraved with exquisite pictures of flowers and birds. The birds seem to be singing on the branches and the flowers seem to be exuding fragrance. They are vivid and lifelike, adding a touch of elegance and vitality to the hall.
There are rows of sandalwood tables and chairs in the hall, and the corners of the tables and chairs are inlaid with small gems as embellishments. The tables are already filled with delicacies, and all kinds of fine wines are emitting intoxicating aromas. In this gorgeous environment, it is only waiting for the guests to take their seats and the grand banquet will begin.
At the same time, several streams of light, like bright meteors, flew out from various places in the Holy City of Gama and rushed towards the direction of the Xiao family mansion.
The owners of these streams of light had all heard of Master Xiao Ling's reputation before, and they admired him and were eager to visit the Xiao family, meet the legendary Master Xiao Ling, and take the opportunity to make friends with the Xiao family.
However, before this, the Xiao family had politely declined their requests to visit one by one for various reasons.
However, although they were rejected by the Xiao family when they came to visit before, the Xiao family still distributed invitations to tonight's banquet to several powerful forces in the Jia Ma Empire.
At first glance, the Xiao family's move seemed a bit arrogant, but no one complained about it.
After all, Master Xiao Ling had just returned from Zhongzhou and was currently in the Xiao family.
The name of Master Xiao Ling is like a towering mountain in everyone's heart. His current status and position are almost unattainable in the Jia Ma Empire.
For them, it was already an incredible blessing to have the opportunity to meet such an important person, so why would they care about the previous rejections?
At this moment, all the people who received the invitation letters were dressed up carefully, made full preparations, and rushed to the dinner hosted by the Xiao family with great anticipation. They all hoped to meet Master Xiao Ling again and take the opportunity to chat with him. If they could establish some fate, it would be worth the trip.
Yun Yun had a graceful figure, like a fairy descending to the earth. She stepped on the air, her clothes fluttering, and slowly landed at the door of the Xiao family's mansion.
Behind Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran followed closely. Two pairs of light blue fighting wings behind her were flapping slightly. The fighting wings were emitting a faint halo. After a moment, the wings slowly faded away, and her figure had already landed beside Yun Yun.
With the appearance of Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, many exclamations were heard around.
You know, the Yunlan Sect has a very important position in the Jiama Empire. Yun Yun, as the current sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, and Nalan Yanran, as the young sect leader, usually stay at home and are busy with many affairs in the sect. They rarely appear in front of everyone.
Therefore, for many people present, these two are undoubtedly rare big shots, and now being able to see them at such a close distance is naturally a rare opportunity.
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran looked indifferent to the exclamations from the people around them, and did not care at all.
As soon as she landed, a perfectly appropriate smile appeared on Yun Yun's elegant and beautiful face, which was gentle and moving.
Her eyes then fell on the white-haired middle-aged man who arrived here a few moments later than her, and then she opened her red lips slightly, and said in a clear and pleasant voice:
"I haven't seen you for a few months. Your cultivation has improved a lot. You are still strong despite your age. It seems that your reputation as the Ice Emperor is still as high as it was in the past..."
"Haha, Sect Master Yun, you are joking." Hai Bodong stood still with his hands behind his back. Hearing Yun Yun's greeting, he just chuckled and responded very modestly,
"I am already quite old now, and my talent for cultivation is almost reaching its limit. With Sect Master Yun's excellent talent for cultivation, I am afraid it won't take long for him to surpass me."
Although he spoke so modestly, he still exuded a cold and arrogant aura, which seemed to be real and had not been restrained at all.
Even the surrounding streets seemed to be affected, and the temperature dropped slightly, making people feel a little chilly.
Then, Hai Bodong's gaze slowly shifted to Nalan Yanran who was standing beside Yun Yun. He raised his eyes slightly and said with a smile:
"The cultivation talent of your sect's young master is indeed extraordinary. At such a young age, he is already close to breaking through to the high-level Douhuang level. Such talent is truly admirable. The Yunlan Sect really has a successor!"
At this point, he sighed slightly, a bit of helplessness appeared on his face, and then said:
"Unlike my Miter family, we have been searching for so long but still can't find even a decent and outstanding disciple. It's really worrying..."
"Thank you for the praise, Mr. Hai. Yanran only relied on the training of the sect's life and death gate and the full investment of the sect's resources to achieve the little cultivation she has now. I really don't dare to take credit for it."
Nalan Yanran bowed slightly, with a humble look, and said softly,
"Besides, Mr. Hai's current spirit is no less than that of a middle-aged man. For you, selecting outstanding candidates is only a matter of time. I believe that with the foundation of the Mittel family, many outstanding descendants will emerge in the future..."
"Haha, the girl is really sweet." Hai Bodong laughed heartily, his eyes full of smiles, "Although the old guy Nalan Jie's cultivation talent is not very good, he has such an outstanding granddaughter."
Being praised so aptly by Nalan Yanran, even with Hai Bodong's usually cold and arrogant personality, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy, and the laughter came out of his mouth uncontrollably, echoing in front of the mansion.
While they were joking and laughing, they didn't delay any longer and walked towards the Xiao family's mansion. ...
The magnificent banquet hall in the Xiao family mansion was originally an empty scene. Such a wide open space was somewhat deserted before everyone arrived.
However, as the big figures in the Jia Ma Empire who were rarely seen in daily life appeared in front of the Xiao family mansion one after another, and then walked towards the banquet hall, the situation quietly changed.
Everyone first exchanged a few words of greeting, and then began to take their seats one after another with expressions of expectation or curiosity.
For a moment, laughter, cheers and flattering words echoed in the hall, one after another, without stopping.
The original feeling of desolation brought by the emptiness was quickly dispelled by the lively atmosphere. The whole hall seemed to be injected with vitality and became extremely lively.
Those who can gather here are all well-known figures in the Jia Ma Empire who can change the situation of a region with just a stomp of their feet.
On weekdays, they are either obsessed with practicing in seclusion in order to break through the shackles of their own cultivation; or they are busy taking care of the complicated affairs of the family and the sect, and are unable to spare any time.
Therefore, there are few opportunities to gather together like this, sit at the same table and share a feast.
Come to think of it, the last time people gathered together on such a large scale was when the Gama royal family called everyone together to discuss the expansion of the Gama Empire's territory.
This is enough to show that the current Xiao family, or more precisely, Master Xiao Ling, has a reputation that is of great importance in the Jia Ma Empire.
As soon as the name of Master Xiao Ling came out, many important figures who were usually high and mighty and rarely showed up responded and gathered at the Xiao family's banquet. Such appeal was truly amazing.
Of course, let alone just in the Gama Empire, with Xiao Ling's current status and position, even in the Zhongzhou Continent where strong people gather and hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere, if he holds a banquet and extends invitations to those big forces, I'm afraid not many people will refuse without mercy, let alone going to a small place like the Gama Empire.
Finally, as all the invited guests arrived, the entire banquet hall became bustling with activity. People were either talking in low voices or smiling at each other. The atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, stood up, cleared his throat, and then gave an order.
In an instant, a line of maids in elegant clothes walked in from the back of the hall. They were graceful, pretty, and elegant in every move.
The maids all held exquisite trays in their hands, on which were placed exquisite utensils.
Some were filled with steaming and fragrant tea. The fragrance of tea instantly filled the air, adding a sense of tranquility to this bustling hall.
Some of them are filled with carefully prepared delicacies, which make people salivate just by looking at them.
The maids came to the guests one by one, bowed slightly, and with a proper smile, gently placed the teacups on the tray on the wooden table, and then arranged the delicacies in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, the table was filled with delicious food, with the aroma of tea and food intertwined.
Xiao Zhan slowly stood up at this time, with a sincere smile on his face, and his eyes slowly swept over every guest present, then he clasped his hands together and said loudly:
"It is a great honor for all the distinguished guests to take the time to attend our banquet today! You are all well-known figures in the Jiama Empire. You are usually busy with work, and I was worried that you would not have time to come. Now that I see all the guests, I am really happy."
"This banquet is for the purpose of thanking you all for your care for our Xiao family. Secondly, we also want to take this opportunity to bring everyone together and have a good chat. We are all busy on weekdays, and it is rare to have such an opportunity. I hope everyone can enjoy themselves today."
When everyone heard this, they all responded with a smile.
Hai Bodong, who was the most familiar with the Xiao family, spoke first and laughed:
"Patriarch Xiao, you are too polite. We are so honored to be invited to such a luxurious banquet. It is a great honor for us to be here. There is no reason not to come."
Yun Yun also bowed slightly, smiled gracefully and said, "You are too polite, Patriarch Xiao. Your family's banquet is a rare event. We are honored to be here. We must experience the excitement of the banquet today."
The other guests also followed suit, saying one after another: "That's right, Patriarch Xiao is too polite. We are in the same Jia Ma Empire, so we should get together more often. Today's scene is really happy."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. It's our blessing to be here."
For a moment, the hall was filled with polite words coming and going, but the harmonious atmosphere became increasingly stronger with each word.
Although everyone in the hall was chatting happily at the moment, with laughter and chatter, and it was very lively, it was quite strange that no one touched the fine wine and delicacies placed on the wooden table in front of them.
Everyone's eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, would occasionally turn to the high chair in the center of the hall. The chair was empty, and it caught everyone's attention.
At the same time, they would occasionally turn their gaze towards the entrance of the hall, their eyes full of anticipation.
After all, everyone present knew clearly that the most crucial person at this banquet had not yet appeared.
Just as everyone was thinking about their own things, suddenly, a dark space crack appeared without warning above the originally empty main seat in the hall.
At the same time, a man's chuckle came out from the crack. The voice was clear and casual. "Haha, I was immersed in cultivation and couldn't get away for a while. I kept you waiting for a long time. It's been a few years since we last met. It seems that you are still as elegant as before, and you look even more energetic."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender figure slowly walked out of the space crack. He was tall and straight, his long robe fluttering in the wind, and his every move showed his extraordinary demeanor.
He has a handsome face, his eyes are deep and seem to hide endless stars, and the smile on the corners of his mouth makes him more approachable.
As soon as this person appeared, he instantly caught everyone's attention and became the focus of the entire hall. Everyone's eyes were focused on him all of a sudden... (End of this chapter)
