Chapter 42: Attending a Banquet (Please Collect)

Seeing Zheng Huangjin coming out to greet the talisman master in person, many guests stared slightly, with shock written all over their faces.

What kind of person could make Zheng Huangjin come out to greet him in person?

A descendant of a family of immortal cultivators?

Judging from his temperament and behavior, he looks a bit like...

The guests secretly guessed that Zheng Huangjin's character was well known in Qing'an City. Although he was a little greedy, he got it in a proper way, and his moral character was not so bad that people would hate him.

In addition, Zheng Huangjin had a very sharp eye for people. Those who could make him praise them or greet them in person were basically not vulgar people.

Li Guanxuan followed Zheng Huangjin into the reception room, looked at the many guests present, and couldn't help laughing softly:

"Brother Zheng, with your capacity for one cup of joy and two cups of wine, can you really drink more than so many of us?"

"..."

Zheng Huangjin was speechless.

The guests couldn't help but laugh jokingly.

"You are right, fellow Daoist. We all know how much Zheng can drink."

"I suggest that Zheng drink tea instead of wine today. Don't let him get drunk."

"Hahaha..."

Helplessly, Zheng Huangjin had to bow and beg for mercy. He also glared at Li Guanxuan and pulled him to his left.

Wen Rongxin and Qin Jiyue sat on both sides of him.

Wen Rongxin seemed a little nervous. She had never attended such a gathering. Seeing that everyone was in the late stage of Qi Refining, and there were also great cultivators of foundation building, she, a physical cultivator, was a little restrained.

Li Guanxuan noticed Wen Rongxin's emotions, reached out and held the back of her hand, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be nervous, just relax."

Wen Rongxin nodded slightly, but her face still showed visible social phobia.

"Yes, sister, you stay at home all day and don't go out. It's time to follow your husband to see the world." Qin Jiyue smiled.

Zheng Huangjin was good at observing people's expressions. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be too nervous. I have known Brother Li for many years, and I have occasionally heard him talk about you. If you need anything, just ask."

"I, I'm not nervous..." Wen Rongxin defended herself in a low voice.

Zheng Huangjin smiled slightly. He also knew that it was not good to talk to Wen Rongxin again, which might make her more restrained.

At this time, the housekeeper who was welcoming guests at the door sang.

"Master Song Zhen is here!"

Song Zhiqiao walked in slowly, her long green skirt fluttering, and then she walked to the seat on the left of Li Guanxuan and sat down.

Song Zhiqiao knew Wen Rongxin and Qin Jiyue. She smiled lightly and greeted them, "Mr. Li, Sister Wen, Sister Qin, you came so early. If I had known, I would have come with you, so I wouldn't be lonely on the road."

"I just came here after finishing the things at hand." Li Guanxuan smiled politely.

Qin Jiyue didn't even want to talk to the other party. She smiled politely and nodded like Wen Rongxin.

With the arrival of several foundation-building masters, Zheng Huangjin announced the start of the banquet.

After a generous speech and thanks at the end, Zheng Huangjin drank three cups and then asked the dancers to come up to set the atmosphere.

In addition, Zheng Huangjin also found a musician who was good at music to play beside him. The sound of the piano was like a mountain stream, moving the heartstrings, and also making people empty their minds and cleansing their souls.

Even Wen Rongxin was not as nervous as before.

But when she followed Li Guanxuan to toast Zheng Huangjin, she still bowed her head quickly after drinking, immersed in her own little world.

"Brother Li, Sister Wen, Sister Qin, I toast you a glass."

At this time, Song Zhiqiao smiled while holding the wine glass.

"Brother?"

Li Guanxuan was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "Fellow Daoist Song, it is better to change some of the names to avoid misunderstandings."

Song Zhiqiao smiled and explained: "The Daheng Li family and the Daheng Song family have been friends for thousands of years. It is not too much for me to call you Brother Li or Brother Li."

Qin Jiyue frowned slightly. To be honest, she didn't like the other party coming to her like this to establish a relationship.

And she was instilled with the concept of caution by Li Guanxuan, and she even began to suspect whether Song Zhiqiao had other purposes.

"This is Xianxu Qing'an City, not Daheng Yongning Mansion. When you go out to explore, Miss Song should still call my husband Daoyou or Young Master." Qin Jiyue raised the wine glass, smiled, and then drank it.

Song Zhiqiao was stunned, then she showed an apologetic look on her face, and her peach blossom eyes were slightly pitiful and she said:

"Zhiqiao listens to Sister Qin's words, and I hope Sister Qin won't be angry. Zhiqiao will punish herself with three cups to express her apology."

After saying that, Song Zhiqiao drank three cups immediately, and her white and tender face was slightly flushed.

"No, it's okay, Jiyue is not angry, and she doesn't mean that." Wen Rongxin hurriedly explained for Qin Jiyue.

Song Zhiqiao blamed herself and said: "Sister Wen, I, I didn't know that Sister Qin would mind, I hope Sister Qin doesn't blame me in her heart."

Qin Jiyue frowned, why did this sound like she was guilty?

Just when Qin Jiyue was about to speak, Li Guanxuan transmitted a message: "Don't be angry. Once she gets angry, she will show her aggrieved side to win sympathy."

"She, she really wants to piss me off. Who would call someone else's wife brother? And with that weak tone, someone who doesn't know would think you two have some secret relationship!" Qin Jiyue transmitted angrily.

"Calm down, calm down. Look at Rongxin, she won't be irritated..."

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"

"..."

After these words came out, Li Guanxuan almost didn't know how to respond, so he had to continue to transmit the message:

"Listen to me, take a breath, calm down a little, I dare not talk to her for a few more words, the more you care about her words, the more you will be led by her nose, don't fall into her trap."

Then, Li Guanxuan gently stroked Qin Jiyue's back, and his face became serious.

Qin Jiyue was still a little angry, but seeing Li Guanxuan's serious expression, he took a deep breath obediently to calm himself down.

Slowly, Qin Jiyue realized that she almost got into trouble just now and blamed Li Guanxuan wrongly.

"Husband, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay."

Li Guanxuan gave her a smile and secretly transmitted the message: "To communicate with a woman like her, you have to be more weak and pitiful than her."

If you want to defeat Green Tea, you have to be more Green Tea than her.

"Humph, I understand now, see how I deal with her!" Qin Jiyue's mouth curled up slightly.

Li Guanxuan was stunned for a moment.

However, he also knew that Qin Jiyue was a competitive person. She would fight back no matter what, otherwise she would not be able to sleep tonight, so he reminded her:

"Don't make too much trouble, be careful."

"Don't worry."

After transmitting the message, Qin Jiyue filled a glass of wine, then stood up and walked towards Song Zhiqiao, apologetically saying:

"Song Daoyou, I'm sorry just now. My tone was not very good. My husband has already scolded me. I apologize to you and hope you can forgive me. I'll drink this glass of wine."

Song Zhiqiao quickly picked up the glass and drank with her, saying: "No, no, Sister Qin is not wrong, it's just that Zhiqiao is ignorant... Oops!"

When Song Zhiqiao was about to cover her face and drink it all, she was suddenly held up by a force on her right hand, and the wine was directly poured on Qin Jiyue.
