Chapter 37 Hua Que Wang Zhi.

Liang Bing laughed, "You've finally learned your lesson."

Keisha glanced at him, "Let's keep quiet today."

Su Mobai immediately stood up straight. "Understood."

Liang Bing circled him, looked him over, and gently straightened the button on his chest, but her words were still sharp: "Wearing this, you actually look a bit like a human being."

Su Mobai looked down at her. "Didn't I look like that before?"

"It was like they sneaked into the mansion before."

"Well, you have good judgment; they definitely snuck in."

Liang Bing raised her eyes and glared at him.

Keisha spoke up from the side, "Let's go."

After saying that, Liang Bing gave a soft snort and turned to follow.

The three stepped onto the covered bridge.

The wind rose from the clouds, rustling the edges of the formal attire. In the distance, the main hall of the floating banquet hall was open, with neatly armored angel guards standing on both sides of the white stone steps. Noble airships came and went, docking one after another on the outer platform, their crests unfurled one after another—silver, dark blue, crimson gold, and dark green—the emblems of each family fluttering in the high-altitude wind.

Su Mobai walked slightly behind Keisha and Liang Bing.

This position is very delicate.

They weren't side by side, nor were they servants.

He wanted to be visible to everyone, but not so much that he would get ahead of the two ladies.

He knew very well that this was Vislan's arrangement.

Release him.

Show this to everyone.

The banquet hall was even larger.

The dome was extremely high, and beyond the transparent crystal walls lay a rolling sea of ​​clouds. The hall had a light gold floor, and tall columns stood, their surfaces engraved with scenes of early battles fought by the planet Merlo. The long table was not yet fully occupied, and waiters carried wine cups and fruit platters as they moved about. Music drifted from the side hall, soft and just right in front of you.

As soon as Keisha entered the room, many eyes fell on her.

Let's look at Keisha first.

Let's look at Liang Bing again.

Finally, the blame unanimously fell on Su Mobai.

That look was complicated.

Curiosity, scrutiny, disdain, inquiry.

Su Mobai caught them all.

He wore a perfectly appropriate smile, neither overly enthusiastic nor shy. In his mind, however, he was silently keeping track of things.

What are you looking at?

Haven't you ever seen someone get into a high-level game just by using their drawing skills?

The first to step forward was a male angel with slightly graying temples, accompanied by two young nobles. He bowed to Keisha and said politely, "Miss Keisha, it's been a long time."

77

Keisha nodded slightly. "Count Olin."

Liang Bing nodded in agreement, her smile much more demure than usual. "Your Excellency, Earl."

Count Olin's gaze quickly turned to him. "And who is this?"

Keisha said, "Su Mobai."

She didn't say much.

Liang Bing added from the side, "Distinguished guests who have recently arrived from afar."

Su Mobai glanced at her.

Liang Bing returned his smile.

The meaning behind that smile was quite clear.

My sister is here to support you, and I'll add fuel to the fire.

Earl Olin looked at Su Mobai with a gentle tone, but with a hint of condescension, "To be personally led into the banquet by the two young ladies, you must be quite capable."

Su Mobai bowed his head and gave a proper greeting, saying, "I wouldn't dare say I have great skills, I'm just lucky to have caught the eye of the two young ladies."

Upon hearing this, Liang Bing's lips twitched.

Keisha didn't react.

Count Olin smiled. "It's not good for young people to be too modest."

Su Mobai smiled and said, "Then I'll change it next time."

Earl Olin was taken aback.

A young nobleman next to him couldn't help but glance at him again.

Keisha glanced at Su Mobai.

Su Mobai immediately shut up and continued to be a quiet, handsome man.

The second group to arrive was a female angel noblewoman.

Her dress was a deep blue, with feather-shaped silver ornaments on her shoulders. When her gaze fell on Keisha, it was clear that she was admiring her. "I heard that in the years since Lord Vislan was away, the main city has been managed by Miss Keisha. Seeing you today, your demeanor is even more impressive than before."

Keisha replied calmly, "You flatter me."

Liang Bing stood to the side, unusually refraining from interrupting.

When the noblewoman looked at her, her smile softened. "Miss Liang Bing has grown up too."

Liang Bing smiled sweetly, "You're still as beautiful as ever."

Su Mobai clicked his tongue inwardly upon hearing this.

Yes, it will.

This little devil really knows how to put on an act when he's out in public.

The noblewoman finally looked at Su Mobai, "Is this the painter from beyond the stars?"

Su Mobai's eyelids twitched almost imperceptibly.

The news spread really fast.

Keisha replied, "Yes."

The noblewoman's gaze lingered on his face for a moment. "He doesn't look like an ordinary painter."

Before Su Mobai could reply, Liang Bing spoke first, "Right? I think so too."

Keisha looked at her.

Liang Bing quickly added, "What I mean is, his paintings don't look like those of an ordinary artist."

Su Mobai almost burst out laughing.

Keisha calmly withdrew her gaze.

Outside the banquet hall, another new flying boat landed.

A more unified announcement came from the entrance of the hall.

Keisha's gaze shifted slightly.

Liang Bing's smile faded slightly.

Su Mobai followed their gaze and saw a group of more luxuriously armored guards enter first, followed by a young male angel walking slowly in.

Before anyone even entered the hall, the surroundings had already quieted down considerably.

Su Mobai's heart stirred.

A big one has arrived.

The announcement outside the hall drowned out the music.

"The King of Hua Que has arrived."

As those four words fell, the faint whispers in the floating banquet hall seemed to be silenced instantly, as if suppressed by a hand. The nobles who had been exchanging pleasantries turned around, the hems of their robes rustling, wine cups being returned to their trays, and even the waiters' footsteps becoming much lighter.

Su Mobai stood beside Keisha and Liang Bing, looking up towards the door.

The royal guards were the first to enter.

The armor was brighter and more intricate than that worn by the people of Mero Star, with large gold patterns pressed against a silver-white background. The shoulder armor was raised, and short blades hung at the waist, remaining perfectly in place as he walked. After the two rows of guards separated, King Hua Que slowly walked into the banquet hall.

He lacked the gravitas of a border lord like Vislan, but possessed a different kind of majesty cultivated from long years in a high position. His long, golden-white robe reached his feet, and the emblem of the Heavenly City royal power adorned his chest. His temples were already silver, but his face showed no signs of fatigue. On the contrary, his gaze was so steady that it was hard to associate him with the phrase "reaching the limit."

But Su Mobai still figured it out.

It's not about physical appearance.

It's about observing the qi (vital energy).

Hua Quewang walked very steadily, every step flawless, yet there was something deliberately suppressed about that steadiness. Like a lamp, the outer shell polished bright, but the wick had been burning for far too long.

Su Mobai glanced at it once and then looked away.

This guy is a real big shot.

Viewing too much of it can easily lead to being flagged.

Hua Ye followed beside King Hua Que.

Compared to Prince Hua Que, Hua Ye was much younger and much sharper. He wore an extremely luxurious formal suit, with a short shawl with gold patterns draped over his shoulders. His hair was combed neatly, and he had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

As soon as he entered, his gaze swept over the nobles filling the hall.

It's like looking at a person.

It doesn't look like it's looking at a person.

Whoever that gaze swept over seemed to have been appraised.

Su Mobai clicked his tongue inwardly.

The flavor is too strong.

He had seen that look before.
