Lin Qin, with a determined look, was about to finalize the arrangements for the banquet, continuously telling everyone that she was doing it for the sake of the Lin family's reputation. The others looked at Bing Lian with black lines on their faces, silently thinking that as long as she didn't cause trouble, it would be fine.
Lin Qian: "Hey, Xiao Qin, are you sure you'll be normal then?"
"Damn it! When have I ever been abnormal!" Lin Qin placed her hands on her hips, looking like a bandit queen!
Everyone: "..."
Under Lin Qin's relentless纠缠, the matter was settled. As night fell, a luxurious mansion in Wushuang City was lit up, with a steady stream of carriages and people. The people coming and going were all dressed in fine clothes, wearing hypocritical smiles, greeting each other and then entering the city lord's residence.
The flow of carriages continued. In the distance, a luxurious carriage gradually approached, pulled by two tall and fierce exotic beasts. The carriage, made of expensive fragrant wood, was inlaid with colorful gems. Under the night sky, the gems emitted a brilliant light, and the four large purple-gold wheels, pulled by the exotic beasts, did not make any grinding sounds, indicating they had been skillfully treated.
The crowd, who had not yet entered the mansion, all focused their attention on the stopped carriage. Some familiar with the situation moved forward to chat with the guests. The carriage door opened, and An Miaoyi, dressed in formal attire, slowly stepped out, instantly making the luxurious carriage seem worthless. Before the crowd could greet her, another young woman stepped out. As the crowd was momentarily stunned, yet another stunning beauty descended from the carriage.
It seemed as if the atmosphere in the space had solidified. Three beauties in a row instantly became the focus of the entire street.
The crowd was stunned and moved closer, hoping to get closer to them. This way, they would have something to talk about when they entered the banquet. However, the three women slightly moved to one side, and another person stepped out of the carriage. Could it be that another beauty was about to step out? The crowd widened their eyes, but what they saw was a young man with a smile on his face stepping out of the carriage, followed by another young man jumping out.
"Is Immortal An well recently?"
"Immortal An has become even more beautiful recently!"
The crowd kept greeting An Miaoyi, and she responded to each of them, making the entrance to the city lord's residence quite lively.
"May I ask who these people are that Immortal An has brought?" Finally, someone asked.
"Roar! What's all the noise about? Disperse, disperse! Wolf Lord has no place to stand!" The rogue wolf stuck its head out, scaring the crowd, and the area in front of the carriage quickly cleared. The rogue wolf, satisfied, jumped down from the carriage, still wearing its eternal floral shorts!
"It's them!"
"Yes! Yes! It's Lin Zheng and his group! I've seen that wolf!"
"That's right, that wolf!"
"Unfair! A wolf can actually ride with Immortal An!"
The crowd began to chatter, but this time An Miaoyi ignored them and led Lin Zheng and his group into the city lord's residence.
"Immortal An, may I ask if these are the guests you've brought?" The receptionists at the entrance asked.
"Exactly, is there a problem?" An Miaoyi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Immortal An, according to the rules, you can only bring four people, but this..." The steward seemed a bit troubled, looking at the rogue wolf behind An Miaoyi.
"Right, it's four people. I'm a wolf, do you understand? Do you understand?" The rogue wolf suddenly approached the steward, opening its mouth wide and speaking, then ignored him and walked forward with its hands behind its back.
An Miaoyi also ignored the stunned steward and walked into the city lord's residence with Lin Zheng and the others.
The trees in the courtyard were adorned with beautiful lanterns, containing luminous crystals, and ten thousand bright lights illuminated the entire estate. The courtyard was filled with various delicacies and drinks, and the guests gathered in small groups, drinking and chatting. Beautiful maidservants continuously served the guests, and more delicacies were constantly being brought to the tables.
An Miaoyi led Lin Zheng and the others to a corner of the banquet and then went to socialize. Lin Zheng and the others relaxed and observed the surroundings.
Soon, Lin Zheng noticed four major groups in the crowd: the Hua family, the Tang family, the Guan family, and the Tie and Wen families, who always stuck together in such occasions. However, these people seemed not to have noticed Lin Zheng and his group, which was normal as no one would pay attention to this remote corner. Lin Zheng and Lin Wen whispered to each other, while Li Ruoshui and Lin Qin elegantly drank, with Lin Qin maintaining a rare ladylike demeanor.
"Roar! This snack is pretty good, bring two more plates!" A very discordant voice rang out, and the rogue wolf was pouring a plate of snacks into its mouth, then instructed a nearby maidservant.
Lin Zheng was furious, as he had just seen the silhouette of the lecherous old man. Indeed, countless eyes were drawn to the rogue wolf's howl, and the Tang family people were no exception. The elders who had seen him at the arena were among them, and their eyes instantly filled with murderous intent as they approached Lin Zheng and his group.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to dare show up today," an elder from the Tang family glared at Lin Zheng and the others.
"Send my sister! You're disturbing Wolf Lord's meal. Little girl, quickly bring more snacks, the same kind, they taste good, Wolf Lord likes them!" The rogue wolf was fighting with a plate of roasted meat with a fork, not even looking up as it shouted, and the plates of roasted meat quickly disappeared before the crowd.
"What are you? To dare speak to me like that, do you believe I can end your life with one palm!" The elder's face turned green with anger, never expecting to be scolded by a wolf!
"Really lacking in knowledge, never seen such a refined wolf? You call yourselves a noble family? Wolf Lord is ashamed for you!" The rogue wolf looked up and glanced at the elder, then reached for a bottle of red wine and drank half of it.
"You... you..." The elder's nose was almost out of place, and he couldn't match the rogue wolf in a verbal duel.
"Don't get excited, no need to thank me. Wolf Lord is always doing good deeds without leaving a name. If you have nothing else, just stand there, we're attending a banquet! Act properly!" The rogue wolf held a half bottle of red wine in one hand and a roasted chicken in the other, continuing to eat.
The crowd: "..."
"Oh, what's going on?" At the critical moment, An Miaoyi returned and stood in the middle, trying to mediate.
"Ah, the world is declining, people are not as they used to be. These days, Wolf Lord can't even have a peaceful meal, it's very sad!" After saying this, he drank another bottle of wine.
The crowd: "..."
"Alright, alright, Tang Lao San, even if you want to teach them a lesson, you can't do it here. Let's wait until we're outside the door," An Miaoyi said with a smile.
"Hmph, once we're outside this door, you'd better be careful!" The Tang family people left with a warning, their faces dark.
The crowd, seeing no more drama, dispersed, but their eyes occasionally glanced at Lin Zheng and his group. A large man with a deep voice spoke to the person holding a fan beside him, "Too damn interesting, I'm going to drink with him." Without waiting for a response, he walked straight toward Lin Zheng and the others.
"Hey, you guys are too noisy, aren't you?" An Miaoyi raised an eyebrow, somewhat dissatisfied.
Lin Zheng and the others remained silent, all pointing at the rogue wolf who was eating and drinking, even Li Ruoshui pointed at the rogue wolf. An Miaoyi turned to look at the rogue wolf, about to question him, when the large man sat down next to the rogue wolf.
"Hey, you, this wolf is quite interesting, how about we have a drink?" The man didn't look at the others, directly asking the rogue wolf.
"Hmm? Kid, Wolf Lord is unbeatable in drinking, can you handle it?" The rogue wolf glanced at the large man.
The large man didn't care about the rogue wolf's words, reached back, and a jar of fragrant white wine flew into his hand. He raised his head and drank it all, then placed the empty jar in front of the rogue wolf.
"Hey? Interesting!" The rogue wolf also reached back, and everyone looked at him, as he had never shown his skills in front of the crowd before. Lin Zheng and the others wondered if he would break his habit today.
"Hmm?" After a while, the rogue wolf turned back, and everyone focused on him, waiting for him to show his skills. However, the rogue wolf shouted at a nearby servant, "Damn, can't you bring the wine over? Wolf Lord's arm is getting tired! Look at your lack of insight!"
The crowd: "..."
"Cheers!" The rogue wolf and the large man had each drunk five jars of wine, and the crowd watched them with dark faces. Though it was a banquet, the host, the city lord, had not yet appeared, and they were already drinking.
The scholar with the white fan, who had come with the large man, approached Lin Zheng and the others, found a seat, and both sides smiled helplessly. This scholar was the person from the Wen family who had stood up for Lin Zheng at the arena, and the large man was from the Tie family.
"May I ask your name?" Lin Zheng asked.
"I am Wen Tianqing, my courtesy name is Changzhi, just call me Brother Wen!" Wen Tianqing said gently, appearing easy to talk to.
"Brother Tianqing, let me introduce you. This is my cousin Lin Wen, this is my cousin Lin Qin, and this is my fiancée Li Ruoshui!" Lin Zheng politely introduced everyone.
Wen Tianqing seemed to be lost in thought when he heard Li Ruoshui's name, recalling for a while, and then asked Li Ruoshui, "Are you from the Li family of Zeshui City?"
Li Ruoshui seemed to recall something and asked with a smile, "Are you Brother Changzhi?"
Lin Qin was a bit stunned, how did this turn into a family reunion? Forget it, I'll go watch the rogue wolf drink, you guys can be polite!
"Oh, kid, you have a good drinking capacity! Wolf Lord will definitely put you down today! Bring more wine!"
"Coming, coming!" Lin Qin joined in the fun, calling a few servants to bring the wine.
"Drink faster, drink faster, Aunt... I'll be your witness!" Lin Qin said excitedly.
Chaos! Complete chaos! Lin Wen watched the reunion of old friends, then turned to cover his face, seeing Lin Qin's original form helping the rogue wolf cheer and shout, and then feeling the gazes of the nobles and celebrities from afar. The thing Lin Wen was most worried about finally happened!
