Chapter 197: A Turbulence at the Banquet Xiao Chenyu opened his mouth and looked back at Darles who was smiling and talking to a female noble. When he saw that Darles didn't notice him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Darles behaved like a loyal servant in front of the Star Luo Royal Team, after the Star Luo Royal Team left, he was the real lord of Falling Star City! [This Xiao Wu is too straightforward! ] Xiao Chenyu didn't dare to say this, so he could only say, "I don't know why Lord Darles didn't go to see off the Xingluo Royal Team, but he came here, and it seems that he has something to announce to my father." "What's the matter?" Zhou Qing also became interested. "I was a little far away from Darles at that time, so I didn't hear it clearly. I only heard words like 'socializing' and 'making friends'." Xiao Chenyu scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly. "Greeting? Isn't the friendship competition over? Are they going to hold another one?" Xiao Wu was puzzled. "Sister Xiaowu, maybe that Darles wants to make friends with talented soul masters like you, Brother Qing, and Brother San through City Lord Xiao." While gnawing on a chicken leg, Wang Sheng expressed his guess but did not mention himself. "That's right, Sister Xiaowu, it must be like this!"
"Definitely is!" "Absolutely!" Xiao Chenyu, Liu Long and Ling Feng hurriedly complimented him. "Huh, that Darles does have some vision." Xiao Wu was a little proud. “Don’t forget, the reason why so many spirit masters gathered in Notting City was because of Darles.” Tang San reminded, “If he hadn’t secretly spread the news about the spirit bones, how could there be all these troubles?” Of course, without this series of events, he would not have been able to obtain the storage soul guide Yue Ziming on the twelfth floor. But Tang San would not thank Darles - this was a guy on his "Ways to Death" list. What's more, the Moon Ziming on the Twelfth Floor was a prize he and his friends won with their own abilities. What did it have to do with Darles? "Well... it just doesn't look that good. It looks like a combination of a pig and a bear. It's disgusting to look at." Xiao Wu added without hesitation. Xiao Chenyu, Liu Long and Ling Feng looked at each other, and could see the embarrassment on each other's faces. They couldn't help but smile: "Well, Sister Xiaowu, if it's okay, I won't disturb you. I suddenly remembered that I have to go and greet other guests who are coming." "So do we!" Liu Long and Ling Feng quickly agreed. Xiao Wu glanced at Xiao Chenyu, Liu Long, and Ling Feng, and decided not to bother with them. She waved her hand, and the three of them immediately walked away quickly. Zhou Qing couldn't help but look at Romantina who was sitting next to him, covering her face, breathing heavily, and muttering softly: "I actually sat with such an impolite guy..." "The other nobles in the city must be laughing at me!" "They must be saying that Romanak's daughter is hanging out with a bunch of coarse, crude, rough boys and girls... It's really shameful~" "But, huh~ What's this feeling like? My whole body is shaking!" Zhou Qing: (╬￣ Pan￣)! ! ! Vulgar? Vulgar? Rough? Do you think you are humorous? Also, are you high again? How low are your sensitive points? Or are your entire body full of sensitive points? Your brain spirit has made your body's nervous system too developed, right? "What is this woman mumbling about?" Xiao Wu noticed and sneered, "Could she be falling into some perverted fantasy again?" "I'm not a pervert!"
Romantina immediately lowered her arms that were covering her face and tried her best to prove her innocence, but she glanced around out of the corner of her eyes to see other people's reactions. But except for Zhou Qing and others, the other nobles were all talking about their own topics and few of them paid attention at all. "Ah?" Romantina was dumbfounded. Zhou Qing comforted Romantina, whose expression was becoming increasingly depressed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and said, "Are you shocked by the reality? No one cares about your self-delusion because you usually spend most of your time in the Notting Guild instead of drinking afternoon tea with these noble children?" "Maybe, I'm just saying it's a possibility, most of them may not know you." Romantina was petrified: ━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━ Although he is a noble, he does not have his own social circle in the aristocratic circle. Is there anything sadder in the world than this? However, in Zhou Qing's eyes, Romantina's situation might not be a kind of alternative way of being untainted by the mud? [Shit! I'm crazy too. I actually thought this pervert was pure and innocent? But this guy seems to be a physically pure girl? ] Just as Romantina was falling into depression, City Lord Xiao and Darles came together in the center of the banquet and announced something to everyone present. "Everyone, after this 'friendly match', I have discussed with Darles of Luoxing City that we will hold a formal friendly match every three years." City Lord Xiao said, "Each friendly match will have generous prizes. And if there are members of the winning team who are of the right age, Darles and I will sponsor their tuition fees for further studies at the intermediate college or advanced college in the future." Dales added: "This is also an experiment to strengthen the exchanges between our Xingluo Empire and the Tiandou Empire. Moreover, in the future, the friendship competition will be expanded, so that other small cities near Luoxing City and Lord Xiao's Notting City can also participate, establish a larger fighting spirit competition project, build a formal competition venue, and earn more income." For a moment, the Notting nobles who came to the Xiao Mansion were talking about it. For friendly matches, if a formal competition venue is established, then the most direct source of income will be ticket sales, and the purpose of City Lord Xiao saying this is most likely to attract investment. On the surface, this turmoil caused by the soul bones was temporarily suppressed in the dark because of the entry of the Xingluo Royal Team. For this reason, City Lord Xiao felt that he had calmed down the storm, accumulated the corresponding political qualifications, and then thought about creating greater glory. The establishment of a triennial friendship competition project can not only attract investment from other nobles in the city, but also deepen the exchanges between Notting City and Xingluo City. It can also show his talents in governance, management, and cooperation to the top leaders of the Tiandou Empire. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone. But Zhou Qing saw another point, that is, in this era of Dou Yi where communication and transportation are underdeveloped, the lords of cities large and small within the two empires have too much freedom. City Lord Xiao cooperated with Darles to hold the so-called triennial friendship match, which was like seeking the skin of a tiger. However, this move did increase the exchanges between the two cities to some extent... (End of this chapter)
