Left with no other choice, they reluctantly started eating.
Of course, today's banquet
I reckon only the daughters of Chen Yuze's family are like that.
After all, the dishes at today's banquet are all made from very precious ingredients.
If others knew that these spendthrift women refused to touch the food because they thought it wasn't tasty enough, they would probably curse them for wasting such a precious resource.
However, just as the girls picked up their chopsticks, preparing to dig in as if facing a formidable enemy, a discordant voice suddenly came from behind Chen Yuze.
"Tsk tsk tsk, such lavish dishes, yet hardly touched. What, are you reluctant to eat them, or are wild boars unable to eat fine chaff?"
"what?"
Hearing this sarcastic provocation, the girls from Chen Yuze's family immediately put down their chopsticks and glared fiercely at the source of the sound.
At the same time, Chen Yuze also frowned and turned his head away.
The person who spoke just now was none other than Nini, who had a falling out with Chen Yuze and Moxi at the Lovesick Inn.
It's simply a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
However, this time Nini was not alone. Behind her were four other men wearing the same style of long robe as her.
At this moment, one of the men was standing with his arms crossed, looking at Chen Yuze with disdain:
"Junior Sister Nini, the guy who bullied you at the Lovesick Inn last time was this smirking fellow, wasn't he?"
After this man spoke first, the others immediately followed suit, adopting an arrogant and condescending attitude as they mocked Chen Yuze and his group.
"Dare to bully someone from our Yellow Robe Sect? I thought they were some big shot. Turns out they were put in the most inconspicuous corner of the banquet. It's hilarious!"
"That's right. If we hadn't been in a good mood today and wanted to show our junior sister some of these small-time figures from minor, peripheral forces, we really wouldn't have ended up here."
"If you ask me, this group of people are just used to being arrogant in their backwater village. That's why they think they're invincible outside too!"
"what?"
Hearing one provocative remark after another, the girls present immediately became furious.
You should know that among the girls at Chen Yuze's table, not many were easy to get along with.
If we really anger them, it could bring about a complete disaster.
"Calm down, everyone."
Seeing that the girls were about to slam their fists on the table and stand up, Chen Yuze quickly stood up first and stopped them.
Normally, Chen Yuze wouldn't mind his wives teaching these sycophants a lesson.
But don't forget, the people from Tianji Tower are right here at this banquet, and Chen Yuze doesn't want to make too much noise and attract their attention.
Even though the girls had suppressed their cultivation and disguised themselves, they still had to be patient at this critical juncture to avoid causing any trouble.
Of course, Chen Yuze wouldn't let Nini and her sycophants run wild here.
To avoid a repeat of the incident at the Love Inn, Moxi arranged for Baihui and Ruiyun to stay by Chen Yuze's side well in advance.
Sure enough, having sensed something was amiss, they were already heading this way.
However, Nini and her sycophants don't seem to realize this yet.
With a sycophant backing her up, Nini's attitude became much more arrogant than it was at the Love Inn.
Furthermore, Chen Yuze's desire to settle things peacefully only reinforced her belief that the person before her was nothing more than a third-rate character with nothing but empty pretenses.
"Hey you dog of a man, why aren't you here today? Why didn't you bring that ugly hag who always covers her face with a veil with you? What, do you think she's too ugly to be presentable at this banquet?"
"Miss Nini, I advise you to watch your mouth." To be honest, Chen Yuze didn't really want to talk to Nini.
But these green tea women were just too annoying, so Chen Yuze replied with a few words: "If you're too sharp-tongued, you'll easily be abandoned by men and become a widow."
"you……"
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuze dared to talk back. After being retorted, Nini's face turned red almost instantly.
Of course, this wasn't out of embarrassment, but rather out of anger at Chen Yuze.
"You bastard, you're courting death!"
Clenching her fists tightly, if looks could kill, Nini could probably scatter Chen Yuze's ashes with just her gaze.
"What, Miss Nini, are you going to make a move here?"
After glancing at Ruiyun and Baihui's positions, Chen Yuze immediately stretched his neck out in an extremely provocative manner and slapped his left cheek with his palm:
"If you're really that capable, then try slapping me across the face! Let me tell you, if you don't slap me today, you're a coward! If you can't knock out my back teeth, then your mother definitely won't live past Chinese New Year's Eve this year!"
"Good good!"
Seeing Chen Yuze's despicable appearance, Nini was so angry that she trembled all over: "You dog, do you really think I won't dare to hit you? Since you insist on begging for death, then this grandma will grant your wish!"
With her demonic power concentrated in her right palm, Nini, already blinded by rage, no longer cared about the consequences.
Right now, all she wants to do is slap Chen Yuze hard across the face.
Let's see how long he can keep making this noise!
However, just as Nini's palm was less than an inch away from Chen Yuze's cheek, two extremely domineering demonic powers suddenly locked onto her.
The sudden, immense pressure forced her to kneel down on one knee in front of Chen Yuze.
Chen Yuze knew, of course, that Ruiyun and Baihui had made their move.
But he still deliberately disgusted Nini: "What, Miss Nini, why are you suddenly bowing to me like this? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to the big turtle in my pond and want to be paired with it, so you've come to propose marriage?"
"you……"
She glared angrily at Chen Yuze, but the pressure on her was too great. Just maintaining her kneeling position had exhausted Nini's strength, leaving her unable to concentrate on speaking.
Meanwhile, Nini's four sycophants finally noticed something was a beat too late.
However, just as they were about to question Chen Yuze about what he had done to their junior sister, Ruiyun and Baihui arrived at the scene at just the right time.
"Who gave you the audacity to act so wildly at the banquet celebrating the coronation of my new Empress of Tushan?"
Although Baihui's voice was not loud, the immense demonic power contained within it immediately caused those four sycophants to kneel down, just like Nini.
"Sir, it was they who started the provocation!"
With their faces contorted, one of them, whose cultivation was relatively decent, was still able to speak with difficulty.
The pressure on him doubled the moment he stepped down, causing him to be pressed against the ground.
"How dare you! It's clearly you who came to this banquet to cause trouble. Do you think we're blind?" Baihui and Ruiyun's faces immediately darkened.
"If you know what's good for you, get back to your seats and sit quietly. Otherwise, don't blame us for executing you on the spot for disrupting the banquet!"
"Execute them on the spot!?"
Whether it's Nini or those four sycophants, they are all pampered and spoiled. This trip to Tushan is just them accompanying their elders to broaden their horizons.
Therefore, upon hearing the words "execution on the spot," he was so frightened that he broke his load on the spot.
Adding to the fact that Baihui and Runyun looked so 'impartial' and 'fierce' at that moment, they didn't even dare to doubt whether these two senior law enforcers were just bluffing them.
"Senior, it was...we were wrong!" In the end, it was the one with the highest cultivation level, but whose entire body was pressed to the ground, who spoke up to beg for mercy:
"Please, considering this is our first offense, please don't hold it against us! We promise we'll obediently return to our table and never run off again."
They didn't directly acknowledge this sycophant. Both Runyun and Baihui glanced at Chen Yuze without showing any emotion after hearing this.
Only after confirming that Chen Yuze had no intention of pursuing the matter further did the two release the demonic power that had been suppressing Nini and the others.
After realizing the pressure had disappeared, Nini and the others immediately fled the area, disappearing back to their table in a flash. They acted as if they were afraid Ruiyun and Baihui would regret their actions.
320. I almost believed your lies.
Because the banquet was so large, the little incident that happened in Chen Yuze's corner didn't attract much attention at all.
The entire banquet was not affected in any way by this little incident.
The guests were all eating and drinking as usual. It seems that the only ones at the entire banquet who were unable to eat were Nini and her four sycophants, who were still filled with fear and anxiety.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the banquet...
As the former empress who had already retired, Mo Xi naturally received many congratulatory messages.
With a joyful expression, she chatted and laughed with the guests who came to offer their congratulations. The phrase "a person is in high spirits when happy" perfectly describes Meixi's state at this moment.
But no one could have imagined that all this outward joy was just a facade for Mo happy.
She was like a calm and experienced fisherman, all she did was patiently wait for her prey to take the bait.
Sure enough, after a few rounds of drinks, two messengers from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion approached her.
It was a man and a woman, an extremely common combination.
The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, with elegant and dignified manners, and an outstanding face and figure. Her golden curly hair, cascading down her back, added an indescribable air of nobility to her.
Compared to the woman, the man looked much more ordinary.
He looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a robust and upright physique. His head, smooth as a hard-boiled egg, was completely bald.
His face was cold and stern, with sharp, defined features. From beginning to end, he simply followed behind the blonde woman without uttering a word, just like her personal bodyguard.
"Nice to meet you, esteemed Lady Moxi."
The blonde woman bowed respectfully to Moxi with great poise, displaying neither arrogance nor servility, showing no trace of flattery.
"Uh……"
Although she was already fully aware of their identities, Moxi pretended not to know and made a move.
He looked puzzled and asked, "May I ask where you two come from? And how should I address you?"
"Hehe." The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, showing no displeasure at Moxi not recognizing her. "Replying to Lady Moxi, both of us come from Tianji Tower. As for how to address me, as you know, we people from Tianji Tower only have code names, not real names. If you don't mind, you can simply call me Quefeng. As for the man behind me, he's Ludan."
"Braised... braised egg?" Mo Xi subtly twitched her eyelids, clearly not expecting that this man, who looked like a small mountain, would have such a comical nickname.
"Hehe, Lady Moxi didn't mishear, his code name is indeed 'Hard-boiled Egg'." Perhaps worried that Moxi would take her words as a joke, the woman who claimed to be from Quefeng emphasized half of the man's code name.
"It really is... an interesting, yet fitting, codename." Suppressing a laugh, Moxi didn't rush to set a trap. Instead, after nodding, she chatted with Quefeng and Ludan about some trivial matters: "I wonder if today's banquet suited your tastes?"
"The wine and food are excellent, naturally impeccable."
"Since I can satisfy the two guests from Tianji Tower, I'm relieved." She maintained the same tone she used when talking to other guests. After having her maid pour a cup of spirit wine for Quefeng and Ludan, Moxi was the first to raise her small wine cup:
