Five minutes later, Xiahou Dongjun walked over with his hands behind his back and a sullen face.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Master."

Xiahou Dongjun asked coldly, "What were you saying to Mu Yuan just now?"

"I was just kidding," Jiang Cheng quickly explained.

Xiahou Dongjun scolded, "Don't you know what jokes are acceptable and what jokes are not? You've made someone cry! Go apologize right now!"

"I'm not apologizing," Jiang Cheng muttered angrily, his head down. "She called me a little radish."

This sentence is actually quite funny.

Xiahou Dongjun had to cough his throat to keep from changing his expression.

"How about I tell her she'll call you 'Little Radish' from now on?"

"No way!" Jiang Cheng exclaimed anxiously!

"Then let's get going." Xiahou Dongjun grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm and said, "There are a bunch of people here, don't embarrass me!"

"Hurry up!"

After they left.

Wang Xueyou and Yong Ruoshui sat down together.

Chen Shi was taken aback, then pointed to Yong Ruoshui's seat and said, "That's Di Jiahao's seat."

Yong Ruoshui nodded and said, "He's the one who swapped with me."

Chen Shi turned his head and saw Di Jiahao sitting at another table, expressionless.

"Alright," Chen Shi sighed.

"What kind of conflict did you have before?" Wang Xuehao asked curiously.

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "No, this is the first time I've met him."

"That's really strange," Wang Xueyou said, looking puzzled.

suddenly.

A commotion arose at the entrance. Chen Shi looked up, but his view was blocked by the other adults. It seemed that someone had arrived, and that person instantly became the focus of attention. Even the people in red stood up from the first row to greet them.

It took a while for the crowd to disperse.

Chen Shi's heart raced as he clearly saw who it was.

Zhong Zemin!

Clan Chief!

He never felt like a super big shot, because people like his grandfather rarely appeared on TV, and if his master's wife didn't tell him, he didn't even know his own name.

But the person in front of them was the clan leader, a well-known figure who gave speeches in front of the Tongtian Tower in Zhongzhou every day.

The old man had a kind and approachable face, his hair was meticulously groomed, and his posture was as upright as a pine tree. He greeted and said hello to everyone who came to visit, and he was very dignified.

His arrival seemed to elevate the entire banquet to a higher level.

and.

Everyone could clearly see that when this legendary woman in red was facing the old man, she smiled like a little girl, and deep in her eyes was a profound emotion that was hard for others to know.

But when you consider what Shi Yuan said yesterday, everyone understands.

This godmother-level figure, whose disciples number in the tens of millions, was once a student herself. Her student days seemed to have been anything but smooth, but fortunately, she had a teacher who was like a benefactor. Now, this benefactor who changed her life stands before her, and she is speechless with gratitude.

At this moment, Chen Shi and the others noticed a boy with a slightly childish face following the adult. He was very tall, about 1.9 meters. He had been greeting someone else and had his back to Chen Shi. When he turned around, Chen Shi and the others' hearts skipped a beat.

He had eyes that were like the sun, a deep, bright red, almost blinding.

Moreover, his hairstyle was somewhat mature for his age, unlike Chen Shi's, which had all sorts of bangs, wispy hair, and was neatly combed like an adult's, with his forehead completely exposed.

This hairstyle doesn't suit him very well because of his age.

However, because of his status, he couldn't seem to do with his hair as he pleased.

Because his image represents that person's image.

A moment later, Xu Yan walked straight over, his posture somewhat hunched, head down, back bent, body leaning forward, like a traveler in a hurry.

He sat down opposite Chen Shi, greeted everyone in a friendly manner, and then subconsciously began to massage his sore neck and twist his aching shoulders. He then lowered his head and stared blankly at the table without saying a word.

Chen Shi saw weariness in his downcast, dazed eyes.

At this moment, Mu Yuan and Jiang Cheng returned. Xu Yan subconsciously looked up and greeted them with a smile, but the smile seemed to freeze, and then he lowered his head again.

At this point, everyone understood why Shi Yuan had introduced Xu Yan at the dinner table yesterday.

When you greet him, he will look up and give a very standard smile, very politely, but it is difficult to continue the conversation. You can't see any aloofness or arrogance in him. It's as if he is not deliberately silent, but something is pressing down on him so that he has to be silent.

Chen Shi suddenly sensed many things.

What is the sun?

The sun is indispensable to every life on this land. People can imagine a night without a moon, but they cannot imagine a day without the sun.

Without the sun, will the sky still be white?

The sun illuminates the sky, traveling from east to west, awakening every corner of the world, bringing warmth and life.

Therefore, everyone loves the sun, loves its warm light, and loves the colorful world illuminated by its light.

But what about the sun itself?

The book seems to say that the sun is burning all the time, never stopping for a moment, and will continue to burn until it goes out.

So why is it that even though the sun is in the sky and everyone can see it, very few people can comprehend the profound meaning of the Sun Sutra? The answer may be quite simple.

People don't want to be the sun; they just want to enjoy its power.

At this time.

Xu Yan, who had been looking down, suddenly looked up and met Chen Shi's gaze.

The two were facing each other. Chen Shigang was looking at him while he was thinking, though he wasn't focused and was just spacing out, but it seemed to bother the other person.

Xu Yan smiled politely.

Chen Shi also smiled in return.

suddenly!

The crowd not far away began to stir again, but the atmosphere was completely different from when they welcomed Zhong Zemin. One was enthusiastic, while the other was cold and indifferent.

A man dressed in a brocade robe with three-clawed dragons appeared at the entrance, accompanied by a young boy.

All the big shots in the first row turned their heads to look.

He smiled broadly and said, "Long Xuan, the Grand Secretary of Central State, has come to congratulate the Lord of Northern State on his birthday!"

"A merit of four hundred million is presented."

This sentence made the entire conversation even quieter, colder, and more somber.

四?

die?

Di Tian stood up expressionlessly and walked towards him. Standing in front of him, he accepted the gift and said calmly, "Please."

This caused the people around to start whispering and discussing, wondering why the Long family was allowed to attend this birthday banquet.

Furthermore, the governor did not deliberately humiliate the other party by having him sit in the same row as himself, which was reasonable. Zhongzhou General Secretary Long Xuan, Congress 29, Long Yichuan's third hand.

What's most intriguing is that Long Xuan was sitting next to the woman in red, and the two seemed to be chatting and laughing, which made everyone's thoughts turn serious.

The banquet continued with singing and dancing, and the feast was served one meal at a time.

Chen Shi suddenly stopped eating, because the boy following Long Xuan was walking straight towards him.

The other person had a somewhat sinister aura; he was smiling, but his eyes were cold.

He stood behind Zhang Xuexin and said softly, "Could you please give me your seat, ma'am?"

Zhang Xuexin turned her head, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

Everyone at the table turned to look at him. Chen Shi's eyes darkened, and he stood up. But before Chen Shi could speak, the boy sitting opposite him looked up again.

Xu Yan's golden-red eyes flashed with intense light, like a majestic holy light in the night, and even his voice carried a sense of oppression.

"Get out of here!"

Long Shilian narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Why is the Crown Prince so angry?"

"Are you worried someone will steal your throne?"

"I don't have that ability yet."

Xu Yan said indifferently, "The second time."

"Get out of here!"

Long Shilian's pupils darkened, and he said, "Even your master has never been so disrespectful to us. The governor must treat Xuan Shi as an honored guest."

"What gives you the right?"

Xu Yan slowly stood up, staring straight at him, and said, "Because I don't have their patience."

"One last time."

"Get out of here!"

Long Shilian said with a forced smile, "I'm just staying here today, what can you do about it?!"

at this time.

Everyone around turned to look, but the important figures in the first row did not turn around, all displaying remarkable composure.

Everyone wanted to know how things would unfold next.

totally unexpected!

Everything ended in the blink of an eye!

A blinding golden-red light pierced the starry night!

That light vanished in an instant!

Once everyone's attention returned to him, Xu Yan had already sat down again, picked up his chopsticks, and looked down at the sumptuous meal in front of him. Then everyone turned to look at Long Shilian, who had a small bloody hole on the left side of his forehead. He took two steps back, his eyes gradually becoming blank, and finally he trembled and murmured, "How...how dare you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fell backward, and blood began to gush from the wound on the left side of his forehead!
