People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er
Chapter 561 Dinner in Progress
When the slender figure walked out from the space crack and slowly stood in front of everyone, it seemed as if an invisible aura emanated from his body, instantly making the entire hall seem to be dimmed.
His skin was as white as snow, and its delicate texture exuded a warm luster like mutton-fat jade. Under the bright light of the hall, he looked even more extraordinary.
He has a tall and slender figure, like a green pine or cypress, standing tall and proud, his long robe dancing gently in the wind. Every time the corner of his clothes flutters, it seems to carry a different kind of rhythm, showing his extraordinary demeanor.
Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her hair was as soft as the willow branches hanging beside a clear mountain stream. Every strand of hair revealed an innate sense of nobility.
His eyes were like two deep oceans, and seemed to hide countless bright stars. Just a glance at them seemed to be able to draw people deeply into them, making them indulge in the endless depth and unable to extricate themselves.
As he walked out steadily step by step, the dark space crack seemed to have lost its energy support and slowly shrank until it completely disappeared.
However, behind him, a circle of gorgeous and magnificent flaming halo emerged. The halo was slowly rotating, and the flames on it were jumping and shining, as if it had intelligence, sometimes passionate and unrestrained, and sometimes restrained and implicit, making him look even more extraordinary, as if a god had descended to the earth.
This extremely shocking scene made everyone present hold their breath, their eyes full of shock and awe, firmly locked on his eye-catching figure. For a moment, the hall was completely silent, with only the subtle sound of the rotating flame wheel...
After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he saw that everyone present was just looking at him quietly, and no one showed any intention of speaking. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and was quite satisfied with the effect of his appearance.
Then, he slowly raised his head and calmly scanned the hall, taking in the faces of everyone present.
Those present included the guardian of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family, Jia Xingtian, the eldest princess Yao Ye, the leader of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun, the young leader Na Lan Yanran, as well as the supreme elder of the Mitel family, Hai Bodong, as well as important figures of the Jia Ma Empire such as the Na Lan family and the Mu family, all gathered here at the moment.
At this moment, these influential figures in the Gama Empire had different expressions.
Jia Xingtian was shocked, Princess Yaoye was in disbelief, Yun Yun was curious, Nalan Yanran was in awe, and so was Hai Bodong.
The Nalan family, the Mu family and others also had different reactions, some were shocked, some were respectful, some were curious, and some were in awe. All kinds of emotions intertwined in the hall, and they were all directed at Xiao Ling who suddenly appeared.
After everyone present calmed down a little, Hai Bodong was the first to speak out: "Haha, Master Xiao Ling's appearance is indeed unique. Compared with us ordinary mortals, there is a world of difference. Just look at the way he can tear the space apart at will, as if he is in an empty space, and can do whatever he wants, you can know how terrifying the strength of a Dou Zun strongman is!"
As he spoke, his face was full of admiration, and the coldness in his eyes had long been replaced by deep admiration.
"We usually only hear about this kind of method in legends. There are such powerful people who can do it. Today, I saw it with my own eyes. I know what it means to be a truly powerful person."
After hearing Hai Bodong's words of praise, the people around came back to their senses and nodded in agreement.
Jia Xingtian clasped his fists slightly and said in a deep voice: "What Elder Hai Bodong said is absolutely right. Master Xiao Ling's skill has exceeded our imagination. I'm afraid that such strength is rare in the entire Northwest Continent. It is our honor to see the master's style..."
Everyone present was talking to each other, and the nice words were pouring towards Xiao Ling like a tide.
In fact, they had some guesses in their hearts before, thinking that Xiao Ling's strength would definitely be different from before after returning from Zhongzhou, but that was just a guess after all.
It was not until today when they saw it with their own eyes that they realized that Xiao Ling had actually become the Dou Zun powerful warrior who had only appeared in legends before. This shock made the thoughts in their hearts instantly clear.
In this world where the strong are respected, facing Xiao Ling's strength that can be said to be at the top, they know that it is too late to curry favor with him.
At this moment, everyone was racking their brains to think of all kinds of words of praise, hoping to leave some good impression in Xiao Ling's heart. If they could get some help from Xiao Ling in the future, it would be a great opportunity for themselves, their family, and their sect.
The voices of praise coming from the hall were endless, but Xiao Ling just stood there quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a chuckle escaping, without showing any special concern on his face.
Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, the voices of flattery have never stopped. To him, the scene before his eyes was nothing more than an ordinary little scene.
Looking back to the past, he stood on the top of the Dan Tower, which was the focus of everyone's attention, and won the Dan Conference championship. The residents of the entire Shengdan City were cheering for him, and the sound resounded through the world like thunder. The cheers and shouts intertwined together, converging into a shocking wave of sound that seemed to break through the sky.
The scene at that time was packed with people and extremely grand. In comparison, the praises from the people in the hall today seemed too childish and simply not worthy of being mentioned in the present moment.
"Haha, you guys are joking. I just happened to get some opportunities and luckily made a leap in my cultivation. It's really not worth mentioning and not worthy of being mentioned on the stage." Xiao Ling waved his hand slightly, with a slight smile on his face, and looked at the people in the hall indifferently.
"Today's dinner is an invitation from my Xiao family to all of you. The purpose is to bring everyone together for some fun. Naturally, we want you to have a great time. You don't have to restrain yourself and you can relax."
After saying that, Xiao Ling chuckled, then waved his hand lightly, and walked towards the main seat in the hall with an upright posture and extraordinary demeanor.
After he sat down steadily, the gorgeous and magnificent flaming halo that was originally floating behind him began to slowly fade away, and the gorgeous flames gradually turned into bright particles, like stars falling on the earth, floating in the air, and finally disappeared completely.
Seeing that Xiao Ling had already appeared and the effect of this appearance was so shocking, Xiao Zhan's mind became clear. He could already imagine that from now on, those doubts against the Xiao family that occasionally appeared in the Gama Empire would completely disappear.
In this world where the strong are respected, strength is the most powerful voice.
Now that Xiao Ling has demonstrated his powerful strength at the Dou Zun level, it is like having an extremely solid backing for the Xiao family.
Even though Xiao Ling is not in the family for most of the year, his reputation alone is like the scorching sun hanging high above everyone's head, scorching and dazzling, making people dare not look directly at him, let alone be unshakable.
Xiao Zhan knew very well that from now on, no one in the Gama Empire would dare to have any other ideas about the Xiao family.
Those who thought that the Xiao family did not have any top-notch combat power and had evil intentions or secretly coveted the Xiao family's status and resources, would have to stop now, and even start preparing to apologize to the Xiao family. After all, the consequences of offending a Dou Zun strongman were not something they could afford. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan could no longer hide the joy from his heart, and a smile instantly bloomed on his face. He laughed loudly and said, "Today is such a beautiful day, and with all the distinguished guests here, how can we miss singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere!"
After saying this, he winked at the attendant beside him. The attendant understood and quickly stepped back. Not long after, a row of graceful dancers came in slowly from the side door on one side of the hall.
These dancers all have pretty faces, and they are dressed in colorful yet elegant dance costumes. As they approach, their sleeves flutter and there seems to be a faint fragrance filling their sleeves.
When they arrived at the center of the hall, they first bowed to everyone, and then began to dance to the sound of melodious music.
As these dancers danced, the atmosphere in the hall became more lively and lively.
The music was melodious and flowing in the hall like a stream, and it was set off by the dancers' graceful steps, interweaving into a moving piece of music. The dancers' swaying postures and flying skirts made it hard to take your eyes away.
For a moment, the laughter, the sound of clinking glasses and the melodious music came together, making the whole hall seem to have become a sea of joy. The atmosphere was full of excitement and joy, and the banquet was pushed to its climax in this cheerful atmosphere.
But in this lively atmosphere, everyone actually has different thoughts. After all, they came here not just for fun.
Most people's attention would always drift to Xiao Ling sitting in the main seat from time to time, with their eyes hiding their own thoughts and calculations.
At this moment, Xiao Ling was lying on the wide chair. His posture seemed lazy, but he also revealed a unique kind of casualness and freedom.
He held a delicate snack in his hand and put a piece into his mouth from time to time. His movements were natural and casual, as if all the noise around him had nothing to do with him.
His deep eyes were now gazing at the dancing girls with great interest, his gaze following their dance steps. Sometimes he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if appreciating the exquisiteness of the beautiful dance, and sometimes he looked absent-minded, as if his thoughts had drifted elsewhere. However, his focused and casual look made people feel that he was now fully immersed in the little pleasures of the banquet.
He looked like a casual gentleman, enjoying himself in this lively scene, and having a relaxing time.
Apart from that, Xiao Ling did not take any other action except occasionally talking quietly with Hai Bodong who was sitting next to him.
When everyone saw this, they looked at each other in confusion. They all felt a little troubled and didn't know how to approach Master Xiao Ling.
After all, they are not like Hai Bodong, who already has a good relationship with Xiao Ling. If they rashly go up to disturb him, it might cause bad luck and make others unhappy, which would be a loss.
Therefore, although everyone had their own thoughts in mind, they could only suppress them and continued to pretend to be at ease drinking and chatting at the banquet. However, their eyes were always glancing towards Xiao Ling intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to find the right time to make plans.
However, just as the banquet was going on so lively, Xiao Ling, who had originally looked relaxed and at ease, suddenly looked stunned and paused.
At this moment, he keenly sensed a familiar breath flying towards the direction of the Xiao family from afar.
Relying on his perception of the breath and the flying behavior, Xiao Ling quickly deduced that the person was flying from the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
And that breath was so familiar to him that he knew instantly that the person coming was naturally Zi Yan.
"Wasn't Zi Yan staying well at Medusa's place? Why did she come back suddenly? And she was alone. Did something happen?"
Xiao Ling frowned slightly. Although he was full of doubts, he really couldn't guess why Zi Yan came this time, but he didn't dwell too much on this matter.
At that moment, he decided to leave first. After all, no matter what, as long as he met Zi Yan, everything would become clear.
Xiao Ling stood up slowly, and this instantly made the atmosphere in the hall tense again. Everyone's eyes fell on him, with curiosity and surprise in their eyes.
"Everyone, I suddenly have something to deal with, so I won't keep you here for long. If there is anything you want to discuss with the Xiao family, you can discuss it directly with our clan leader Xiao Zhan."
After saying that, Xiao Ling didn't bother to explain. He just nodded slightly to Hai Bodong beside him, activated the power of space, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
After Xiao Ling's figure completely disappeared, everyone in the hall came back to their senses, and Xiao Zhan spoke again, organizing the situation. However, the lively and cheerful atmosphere just now had faded a lot. Everyone continued to eat and drink, while whispering to each other what had happened that made Xiao Ling leave in such a hurry.
Although Xiao Zhan greeted everyone and tried his best to maintain the atmosphere of the banquet, everyone's minds were somewhat distracted by this sudden episode.
As one of the best sixth-grade alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire, Gu He was naturally invited by the Xiao family this time.
As Gu He is one of the best sixth-grade alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire, he was naturally invited by the Xiao family this time.
He came to the banquet to admire Xiao Ling, the senior alchemist, but more importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to his sweetheart, Yun Yun.
Due to Gu He's deliberateness, the relationship between him and Yun Yun is not very harmonious.
Gu He would ask Yun Yun about her well-being from time to time, but Yun Yun did not respond much. At most, she would occasionally smile back out of politeness.
Xiao Ling's sudden departure really made Yun Yun's heart full of curiosity, so that her mind was wandering at the moment, and she was not paying much attention to the dinner.
