at the banquet, the guests were in groups of three to five, laughing and chatting.
some people were talking about all kinds of impressive things in the business world, and some women were showing off their valuable jewelry, intentionally or unintentionally.
there were also men and women who were chatting happily in an ambiguous atmosphere. perhaps after the banquet, there would be more romantic affairs for future topics.
the hundred forms of all living beings were fully displayed in a small banquet hall.
however, none of this piqued long chen's interest.
long chen only wanted to know what ye zhiqiu was thinking tonight.
why did she get engaged to yan yiqiu?
with endless confusion and apprehension, long chen finally waited for the banquet to start. the male and female leads appeared almost at the same time.
yan yiqiu was wearing a red suit and had a handsome face. as soon as he appeared, the crowd burst into a warm applause.
without a doubt, a person like yan yiqiu, with perfect looks and family background, was the perfect lover in many women's hearts.
and tonight's ye zhi-qiu, was similarly beautiful beyond comparison. wearing a snow-white gown, her perfect figure was displayed incomparably alluring.
and tonight, ye zhi-qiu's smile was brilliant, making him even more like a small sun, shining with boundless radiance.
" the young lady of the ye family and prince yan walking together, they are like a celestial couple. "
"isn't that so, what a good match."
" i originally thought that the young lady of the ye family might not be a good match for prince yan, but it seems like i was overthinking. "
many people were whispering and talking about all kinds of things.
however, most people agreed that prince yan and ye zhi-qiu were a good match.
at this moment, long chen's line of sight was fixed on ye zhi-qiu.
he didn't understand why ye zhi-qiu was smiling so happily.
could it be that ye zhi-qiu's heart had already changed?
thinking of this, long chen felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if it had been pricked by a needle.
but long chen didn't act rashly. he wanted to wait and see.
let's see how ye zhi-qiu had forgotten the oath he had made.
"everyone, please be quiet. allow me to say a few words."
at this moment, old master ye appeared.
behind him, stood ye zhi-qiu's parents.
when old master ye spoke, everyone quieted down.
old master ye smiled and said in a clear voice, " " first of all, i would like to thank everyone for attending the engagement banquet of my granddaughter ye zhiqiu and the crown prince of the yan family, yan yiqiu. i am deeply honored and i would like to thank you. "
after a bow, gramp ye continued, " "to be honest, when i found out that zhiqiu and yiqiu were in love, i wanted to stop them because i always felt that zhiqiu might not be good enough for your highness.
however, i really didn't expect that these two young people could overcome all difficulties and get engaged. since that's the case, how can we not be happy for them?"
"congratulations prince yan, congratulations miss ye."
"congratulations,"
at the scene, a wave of congratulations rang out in a timely manner.
old man ye smiled slightly, and was just about to let one of the representatives sent by the king of yan speak when ye zhi-qiu suddenly raised his hand to stop him, saying: "grandpa, i want to say a few words."
"uh, this ..."
old master ye was a little hesitant.
"it's fine, grandpa. let her speak."
yan yiqiu laughed.
"alright, then."
old master ye handed the microphone in his hand to ye zhi-qiu.
after ye zhi-qiu took the microphone, he retreated a good distance, not letting anyone follow.
after confirming the safe distance, ye zhi-qiu opened his mouth and said with a smile: "actually, everything my grandfather said was fake. my, ye zhi-qiu's, man is quietly cultivating in an unknown place, and prince yan is his enemy. prince yan wanted to use force to obtain me, to humiliate my man.
now, they're forcing me to wear a luxurious dress to attend this engagement party as the female lead. i can't escape, so i can only come with a smile, but i won't yield to fate. i'll die with a smile. unfortunately, my man can't see me dressed so beautifully tonight."
wuah.
ye zhi-qiu's words instantly ignited the entire scene.
no one had thought that ye zhi-qiu would make such a shocking statement.
one must know that these words had a huge impact.
this was a heavy blow to the ye family and also a serious challenge to the dignity of the house of king yan.
the ye family and yan yiqiu of the yan family all changed their expressions.
"ye zhi-qiu, don't speak nonsense."
old master ye's face turned white with anger.
"elder ye, is this your ye family's good granddaughter? hehe, good, really good."
yan yiqiu clenched his fists, feeling angry as if he had been defeated.
ye zhiqiu glanced at yan yiqiu and said with disdain, " "you really think you're a piece of cake? you despicable man, you will never win against my man.
furthermore, i can tell you very seriously that even if i die, i will never let you insult my man's dignity. it's that simple."
"you're courting death."
yan yiqiu was completely enraged.
however, just as he was about to make his move, a calm voice rang out, " "tonight, whoever dares to touch ye zhi-qiu, i will kill them. i will do as i say."
this voice came from a corner.
for a moment, everyone's gazes turned to a certain corner.
long chen stood up in the corner, holding a wine glass, and walked step by step towards ye zhi-qiu.
the crowd looked at the unfamiliar handsome young man and made way for him.
this was because everyone could sense an extremely terrifying aura emanating from this man.
"chenfeng."
after ye zhi-qiu was startled for a moment, he rushed towards long chen with extreme joy.
"don't be impudent,"
old master ye wanted to grab ye zhi-qiu.
long chen shook the wine glass slightly, and a drop of wine flew out and landed on the back of elder ye's hand.
old master ye was in pain, the hand he stretched out quickly withdrew, not pulling ye zhi-qiu.
ye zhi-qiu successfully ran to long chen and threw himself into his arms.
long chen hugged ye zhiqiu and said softly, " "i really thought you had a change of heart."
"there are people who want me to have a change of heart, but i won't listen to them. i want them to know that even if i, ye zhi-qiu, die, i will definitely not be their chess piece."
ye zhi-qiu lay in long chen's arms, extremely satisfied.
"since you're so considerate, how can i let you down?"
long chen held ye zhiqiu in one hand and held a glass of wine in the other. he looked at yan yiqiu coldly, " "i don't care who you are, get out of here immediately."
" long chen, i didn't expect you to dare to come here. it's good that you're here. let's settle all our old and new grudges together. "
yan yiqiu clapped her hands.
in an instant, more than a dozen people swarmed into the banquet hall.
these people were all martial arts experts.
" you've lost the power of martial arts, " yan yiqiu laughed. " perhaps i don't even need to do anything. they can trample you under their feet. "
"have you ever thought about why i dared to come here alone?"
"i think you're really stupid," long chen sneered.
yan yiqiu's face stiffened, and then he roared, " "take him down."
"let's go!"
more than a dozen people immediately rushed toward long chen.
ye zhi-qiu subconsciously wanted to help long chen, because she felt that long chen had not recovered.
however, long chen smiled and flicked his finger on the wine glass.
the wine in the wine cup flew out in an instant, as if it had turned into small swords. in the blink of an eye, all the people who rushed over were killed on the spot.
more than a dozen people fell down at the same time, all losing their vitality, but not a drop of blood flowed out.
such a magnificent killing technique shocked everyone present.
the ye family's faces all changed.
no one would have thought that the person who they had thought was trash would shock everyone.
"you ... you've recovered?"
yan yiqiu's face turned pale as she stared at long chen.
long chen was also staring at yan yiqiu, and he said coldly, " "you want to touch my woman? are you tired of living?"
"let's go," he said.
yan yiqiu said to the old man beside her without hesitation.
he knew that if long chen really recovered, even fifty yan yiqius would not be able to do anything to him.
"your highness, please leave first. i'll cover you."
the old man said sternly.
"alright," he said.
yan yiqiu wanted to run away without hesitation.
"you can't leave."
long chen held ye zhiqiu in his arms and blocked yan yiqiu's way in a flash.
hiss.
the sound of people gasping instantly rose and fell.
"this is teleportation?"
"damn, am i seeing things?"
"f * ck, that's ridiculous!"
" i must be hallucinating. we're more than ten meters apart. "
voices of disbelief rang out in the scene.
yan yiqiu was so scared that her legs went weak. the current long chen seemed to be even more terrifying than the previous long chen.
the old man who had been following yan yiqiu couldn't react in time and was frightened.
that was because he couldn't defend against long chen's teleportation.
" kneel! " long chen stared at yan yiqiu and shouted. " kneel! "
"i ... i'm the prince of the yan family. this is the imperial city, you ... you ..."
"i told you to kneel."
long chen shouted.
plop.
yan yiqiu couldn't withstand long chen's huge momentum and knelt on the ground in front of him.
this scene shocked everyone.
he was the son of king yan, but at this moment, in front of long chen, he had no prestige at all. he was as humble as a dog, kneeling in front of long chen.
long chen looked down at yan yiqiu and asked coldly, " "do you think you can do whatever you want in this world just because you're the prince of yan's residence?"
"i'm not ... no, long chen, i'm sorry."
yan yiqiu chose to lower her head.
he had seen long chen go on a killing spree, and he was afraid that long chen would kill him with a single thought.
this was the second time in his life that yan yiqiu felt that his life was seriously threatened.
and the first time was at the top of kun lun!
