324 The Empire’s Banquet Li Qinghe put an arm around Lu Yuan’s shoulder with a smile and said,
“You’ll have to dance. I’ll teach you how to dance later.”
…
On the evening of Harvest Day.
Li Qinghe had changed into a luxurious silk gown and was wearing black lace gloves. She looked like an elf in the dark night.
She was in the living room, fixing Lu Yuan’s tie. He was wearing a white suit. He was handsome, and after absorbing the space-type gene, his temperament was more illusory and mysterious. He looked like a young master.
After fixing his tie, Li Qinghe looked at Lu Yuan with shining eyes. His red lips curled up with a smile.
“Little brother Yuan is not bad, so handsome! There should be a lot of girls at the banquet tonight who will fall for you.”
The corners of Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched, and a bitter smile appeared.
“Do I have to wear a suit like this? It’s so uncomfortable.”
He still preferred clothes with a loose neckline. After putting on the tie, the neckline of this suit felt a little tight.
that won’t do. We still have to abide by the most basic etiquette at the Royal banquet.
Li Qinghe revealed an evil smile and wagged her finger at Lu Yuan.
Every year on the harvest Day, the Red Maple Empire’s royal family would hold a banquet, and all the great clans and experts in the Red Maple Empire would receive the invitation.
Unless they were busy, they would give him face.
Moreover, as a guest, the most basic etiquette was still necessary. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful.
“It’s about time, we should set off.”
Li Qinghe said.
Lu Yuan nodded.
There were only Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe at home today. The others had gone back early because of the banquet. After all, they also needed to change into their gowns.
Especially as princesses, Si Tingyu and Si Tingxue definitely couldn’t return to attend the banquet.
Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe got into Li Qinghe’s red sports car.
The sports car sped towards the palace in the center of the imperial capital.
White Willow District was a wealthy district, so it wasn’t far from the palace. They arrived in no time.
The palace of the Red Maple Empire had a huge city wall. The city wall was a city gate that was more than 20 meters long.
There were two teams of soldiers guarding the city gate.
Perhaps it was because of the banquet, but there were quite a few cars parked in the parking lot not far away.
Li Qinghe stopped the car and got out of the car with Lu Yuan.
After Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe alighted from the car, almost everyone looked over.
The men were all looking at Li Qinghe, and the women were all looking at Lu Yuan.
Li Qinghe noticed these gazes and the corners of his lips curled up. He swept his gaze over them with a faint smile, a black light flashing in his eyes.
After seeing Li Qinghe’s face clearly, all the men’s expressions changed. They broke out in cold sweat and quickly left with their female companions.
Lu Yuan gave Li Qinghe a strange look.
“Big sister Qinghe, are you a man-eating monster? Why are these people so afraid of you?”
Li Qinghe glared at Lu Yuan.
“What are you saying? It’s just that I’ve dealt with many of these self-proclaimed nobles before. I hate the conduct of these people the most.”
Lu Yuan gave Li Qinghe a thumbs up. “Amazing!”
Li Qinghe raised the corners of her mouth and took Lu Yuan’s arm. Lu Yuan felt the softness of her arm and also a wisp of fragrance.
“Let’s go in.”
The two of them came to the city gate. A middle-aged man in armor expressionlessly watched many people walk in.
When he had seen Li Qinghe, his eyes had lit up and he had revealed a smile. He had come forward to welcome him.
“Miss Li, you’re here too.”
“Hello, vice-captain Balin.”
Li Qinghe greeted him with a smile.
Bahrain looked at Lu Yuan and smiled.
“This should be student Lu Yuan, right? My son is also a Genius Camp student, Kree Balin. That kid often mentioned you when he came back.”
Lu Yuan was stunned. He really did know someone called Chris Bahrain, although they were not very close and could only talk for a few words.
He smiled at Bahrain. “So it’s uncle Balin. Hello, senior Kree has been cultivating very hard. He’s my idol.”
Upon hearing this, Balin’s smile deepened. He smiled and said,
“You don’t have to praise him. If he’s half as good as you, I’ll be at ease.”
Lu Yuan smiled shyly.
Li Qinghe gave Lu Yuan a strange look, then smiled and said,
“Vice-captain Balin, we’ll be going in first.”
“Alright, Miss Li, please go in. Lu Yuan, come to my house to play when you have time.”
“I’ll definitely come when I’m free!” Lu Yuan smiled.
After entering the city gate, there was a huge Manor with a few mountains. There were a few castles in the distance.
Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe walked slowly, not in a hurry.
On the way, Li Qinghe looked at Lu Yuan with an evil smile.
“I didn’t expect little brother Yuan to be so talkative. Just look at how happy that Vice Captain Balin is laughing.”
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes speechlessly,
“What else can I say? Big sister Qinghe, please don’t make fun of me. ”
“Hehehe, I’m not making fun of you. It’s better to talk than not. It’s better to have more friends than enemies. I’m just happy.”
Li Qinghe hugged Lu Yuan’s hand even tighter.
Lu Yuan’s expression was a little strange.
Things weren’t looking too good at this rate. He hadn’t expected sister Qinghe to be so voluptuous.
He quickly chanted the Diamond Sutra.
They soon arrived at a place not far from the castle.
