I am in Genshin Impact, I can use the stick warrior talent

And I seemed to have heard before that Ningguang specially arranged a banquet to hold a farewell party for herself and Yingmei.

This must be the farewell party?

Anyway, rich women have a lot of money, so they can be willful!

Since the rich woman has specially invited me, I can't refuse this kindness!

Chapter 498: Participating in the Banquet at Qunyu Pavilion

As the sunny noon approached, Su Chen stepped into the magnificent gate of the Qun Yu Pavilion alone. In front of him was Bai Shi, Ningguang's loyal assistant, who was responsible for guiding him through the corridors of this magnificent building.

Under Bai Shi's careful guidance, Su Chen walked leisurely along the richly decorated corridor. Every decoration showed extraordinary aesthetics and luxury, making this journey seem like a journey of exploration of light, shadow and beauty.

They passed a series of amazing works of art and intricately carved statues, and finally arrived at the restaurant that Ningguang had specially prepared for this lunch.

The setting is both sophisticated and warm, with every detail carefully planned to provide guests with an unforgettable lunch experience.

Throughout the whole process, Bai Shi showed both high professionalism and extreme friendliness. From time to time, he pointed to a special decoration or artwork and succinctly shared the little story behind it, which not only highlighted the unique beauty of the Qun Yu Pavilion, but also aroused Su Chen's anticipation for this party.

Su Chen expressed his gratitude to Bai Shi for his thoughtful guidance, while also admiring the exquisite interior design around him.

He realized that this luncheon was not only a social event, but also a feast of aesthetics and taste. Ningguang's meticulous planning in this regard could be felt in every detail.

When they finally reached the central hall of the banquet, Su Chen unconsciously slowed down his pace, his eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation for the upcoming lunch feast.

Bai Shi smiled gently, seemingly satisfied with Su Chen's reaction. He said goodbye politely and handed Su Chen to the guests who were already waiting there and the host of the banquet, Ningguang.

Su Chen was also ready to devote himself to this feast, looking forward to an unforgettable afternoon.

Su Chen's figure stood out at this point in time. His temperament had completely changed. If he had to use one word to describe it, it would be "full of confidence."

It’s not that he lacked confidence in the past, but his confidence now is open and unconcealed, like a pearl that has finally been taken out of the treasure chest and placed on a stand under everyone’s attention, freely and unreservedly showing its brilliance.

Every step he takes exudes a charm that is hard to ignore, as if his entire body is filled with new strength. That calmness is not just an external change, but also a vast ocean of self-confidence deep in his heart.

The eyes of the people around him were full of amazement and admiration, but Su Chen just smiled slightly. It seemed that his mind had already flown beyond the praise in front of him and was heading towards a more distant and grand future.

As the night deepened, Su Chen stepped into the threshold of the banquet, and was greeted by Miss Bai Wen, the intimate assistant of Lord Ningguang. Her voice was full of enthusiasm and respect: "Ah, Mr. Su Chen, you are here. The dinner is about to begin, and Lord Ningguang has been waiting in the hall for a long time."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled apologetically: "I didn't keep you waiting for too long, did I?"

"No, you are just in time. Please follow me."

Miss Baiwen's voice was soft, with a barely perceptible hint of urgency.

"That would be great, thank you for your help."

Su Chen's voice was full of gratitude, and every step he took seemed light and confident.

During the brief exchange with Miss Baiwen, Su Chen noticed that her attitude towards him seemed different from usual.

When her eyes accidentally met his, her cheeks were tinged with a faint blush and her eyes flickered, as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't speak them.

Su Chen was shocked and a little surprised at the same time - this was a detail he had not noticed before.

"Could it be..."

Su Chen thought to himself that the effect of the mysterious potion sent by Freya not only enhanced his personal charm, but also seemed to make the opposite sex who were familiar with him unable to resist his charm. But he quickly shook his head and chuckled, discarding those unnecessary speculations.

The effect of the potion should only enhance his confidence and charm, and Miss Baiwen's behavior is more likely a natural reaction to him, a man with "MAX charm value".

Su Chen didn't dwell on this too much, and his attention quickly shifted to the upcoming dinner.

Su Chen's anxiety gradually subsided, and he was no longer uneasy about the sudden good feelings.

Indeed, with this dinner party, he can reunite with many old friends, and it is also a good opportunity to test the effect of the magic potion.

Therefore, he did not choose to remove the aura that enhanced his charm - rather, after washing it off, he deliberately retained a certain amount of it, hoping to shine at the banquet.

This decision seemed to be a wise one. After all, he unexpectedly attracted a "fan girl" as soon as he stepped into the Qun Yu Pavilion. Su Chen felt that his life seemed to be particularly smooth tonight.

As the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more heated, Miss Baiwen turned the topic to Su Chen himself: "Mr. Su Chen, did you take special care of yourself today? Your temperament today seems to be more attractive than usual."

Su Chen heard this and a playful expression appeared on his face: "Do you think that I was not as charming as I am today?"

Miss Bai Wen obviously didn't expect Su Chen to ask such a question. She waved her hands and defended herself: "No, that's not what I meant... I just think that you are very handsome today. You can almost be compared with Lord Ningguang."

After hearing this, Su Chen's expression became more complicated.

He didn't expect Miss Baiwen to describe him with such high praise, which made him both surprised and a little amused.

There was a playful gleam in his eyes, and he was obviously amused by Miss Baiwen's words.

Su Chen's mood became more comfortable in such a relaxed and happy atmosphere. He was full of anticipation for the upcoming dinner. At the same time, he was curious about Miss Baiwen's reaction. He wondered how this usually calm assistant would perform tonight.

………………

Chapter 499 All the women of Liyue are here? !

When Su Chen heard Miss Baiwen compare him to Lady Ningguang, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

“Hey, this kind of praise sounds really unusual. However, it seems a bit inaccurate to describe Lord Ningguang as ‘handsome’, right?”

"Moreover, Miss Baiwen, from the tone of your voice when you mentioned her, I seemed to read some indescribable admiration..."

"But let's not dwell on this topic any further. Let's change the subject, shall we?"

Su Chen tried his best to relax the atmosphere and also tried to change the subject.

"Haha, you're too kind. I'm still far behind Lady Ningguang... By the way, have all the guests arrived? I hope I'm not the last one to arrive."

Su Chen nodded and tried to speak in a relaxed tone.

"No, that's not the case. Lady Keqing, Lady Beidou, Miss Qiqi, and Mr. Yun have all arrived. Now only Miss Ganyu and Miss Shenhe are left. They may be a little late."

Miss Baiwen answered in great detail.

"I see……"

Su Chen nodded and thought to himself that it seemed that most of the guests had arrived.

He thought that although it was a bit regrettable that immortal-level figures like Xiao, Liuyun Zhenjun, and Grandma Ping would not attend such a banquet, their absence might make the atmosphere more relaxed and not too restrained.

If these powerful immortals were also present, everyone would probably be more cautious, and the thank-you gifts to the immortals would definitely be a considerable expense, although they probably wouldn't be too interested in it...

However, when he learned more about the guest list of the banquet, Su Chen couldn't help but frowned.

He had not thought much about this issue before, but he vaguely felt that there might be slightly more female guests, which would not be a problem for him and might even provide him with more social opportunities.

But now it seems that the situation is far more than just “slightly more”.

It seemed like all the guests were women except him?

This kind of situation where the yin is stronger than the yang is simply unbelievable.

In this way, the atmosphere of the entire banquet may become quite unique. Su Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what kind of experience would such a gathering be like?

As he realized the special environment he was in, Su Chen felt an unprecedented pressure, and the excitement he felt when he first arrived was slowly replaced by a sense of heaviness.

He thought thoughtfully that he had come here sprayed with charm potion, just like a lamb that had dressed up carefully and walked confidently into a pack of wolves, but he had no idea that he was about to become the target of public criticism...

"Su Chen, you are finally here. Everyone is looking forward to your arrival."

A familiar and enthusiastic voice broke his contemplation.

"Oh?" Su Chen raised his head, looking surprised.

……

Under the guidance of Baiwen, Su Chen stepped into the brightly lit banquet hall with a warm atmosphere.

After the secretary politely said goodbye, Su Chen, with a warm smile, did not sit down immediately. Instead, he nodded to Ningguang and other seated guests one by one, showing his grace and politeness.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting."

Surrounding the round table filled with delicious food and fine wine, in addition to Ningguang who was sitting in the main seat, Beidou, Keqing and others had also taken their seats, and even Bubulu's Xiao Qiqi was sitting at a seat.

They each exude a different charm, whether it is elegant and dignified, noble and cold, bold and straightforward or cute and adorable, each has a unique style, forming a moving picture.

Especially Ningguang and Keqing, they specially changed into new dresses for this occasion, their skirts fluttering and their clothes gorgeous, they looked like women walking out of a painting, so beautiful.

In such an environment, Su Chen felt a little pressure, but he couldn't help but admire the wonderful scene before him.

He knew in his heart that even though he was surrounded by a "wolf pack", this was also a great opportunity to show his charm and meet beautiful women.

He smiled and was ready to enjoy the pleasure of interacting with these talented ladies at this luncheon.

Although Su Chen had imagined the scene inside the banquet hall countless times in his mind before stepping into it, when he saw so many stunning beauties and those extremely lovely girls sitting together, and almost the moment he entered the door, all eyes were focused on him, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Of course, this nervousness was not because he was really worried that he would be "eaten" by them - that was just a joke.

Su Chen knew clearly that even if he sprayed the charm potion, it would not be enough to make these women in high positions lose their minds. At most, it would only make them show more enthusiasm towards him.

This nervousness was just a natural reaction of a young man with a pure heart when facing a group of beautiful girls.

"Don't worry, the banquet hasn't officially started yet and some guests haven't arrived yet. It's just right for you to arrive now..."

"Yes, being punctual is enough, no need to apologize."

"Yes, come on, sit here, don't be polite!"

"Oh, okay..." Su Chen smiled and thanked everyone.

He thought silently in his heart that the ones who had not arrived yet should be Ganyu and Shenhe. In addition, Yunjin mentioned by Baiwen was nowhere to be seen.

However, he knew that his junior sister was most likely preparing for a performance backstage, and since she was the only guest invited as a performer, she naturally would not join the guests early.

In Su Chen's opinion, the real regret was not the time he arrived, but that he missed the precious time to communicate with these beauties... and these precious friends. That was what made him feel most regretful.

After some brief dealings with Paimon, Su Chen was finally able to attend this grand banquet alone.

Keeping Paimon at home was indeed a long and challenging task, especially asking her to stay outside the door while he was taking a bath had already exhausted a lot of his patience.

Fortunately, once Paimon recovered from her potion-induced confusion, she seemed a little embarrassed to face Suchen directly, which relieved Suchen that he didn't have to worry about her "self-sucking addiction" for at least a short period of time.

"Oh? Why didn't Paimon come with you today?"

There was a hint of surprise in Keqing's voice. She seemed surprised that Paimon did not follow Su Chen closely as usual.

"Ah, she ate a lot at noon and is still digesting it. I was afraid that she would want to eat again after she came, which would be bad for her stomach, so I let her rest at home."

Su Chen found an excuse that sounded reasonable. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it could at least make up for it temporarily.

"What a shame, we specially prepared many of her favorite dishes tonight."

Ningguang expressed regret after hearing this, her voice full of concern.

"Really? Then when I go back, can you please trouble the chef to prepare another dish that Paimon likes so I can bring it back to her?"

Su Chen asked tentatively.

"Of course, I'll ask the chef to prepare it specially. You're welcome."

Ningguang nodded. As the Tianquan Star among the Seven Stars of Liyue, her answer was both generous and friendly.

Su Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This way, at least Paimeng would complain less when he returned.

Everyone seemed to accept his explanation, and even Qiqi's offer to prescribe a digestive medicine for Paimeng was politely rejected by him.

Just as Su Chen was about to sit next to Qiqi, Ningguang suddenly called him.

"Wait a minute, Su Chen, your seat is here."

………………

Chapter 500: Isn’t this 25 centimeters of friendship deep enough? (Chapter 500!)

Ningguang pointed to a seat on her right, which surprised Su Chen a little.

Sitting on the left side of Ningguang is Keqing. As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, her status is naturally equal to Ningguang. In such an occasion, Keqing will undoubtedly choose to give in to Ningguang.

But the seat to the right of Ningguang should, logically, be reserved for Ganyu, who has an equally high status, or at least Beidou, rather than a "foreign traveler" like Su Chen.

Su Chen couldn't help but wonder whether it was really appropriate for him to sit there. This was not only a kind of respect for himself, but also a kind of etiquette respect for all the guests present.

In the atmosphere of the banquet, Su Chen felt a little uneasy about Ningguang's invitation, "This position... may not be suitable for me?"

He humbly expressed his concerns, not wanting to draw any unnecessary attention to the seating issue.

"Don't be so restrained. This seat was originally prepared for you. Just sit down boldly."
