Chapter 103 Dinner Party
The dinner began.

Gu Fengchen has been in the Gu clan for so many years and has seen all kinds of big scenes. Even though it was a royal dinner, it couldn't scare him.

This dinner was hosted by the Jia Ma royal family, and was also intended to entertain the three major families of the empire, the Yun Lan Sect, the Alchemist Guild and other forces to build relationships, and also to give all parties an opportunity to build connections.

Although the Gama royal family was certain that the other two empires would not dare to rashly go to war, they still had to take necessary precautions.

When external threats were severe, the Gama royal family did not want to see internal forces causing trouble again.

The banquet was held by a lake.

The lakeside is surrounded by evergreen cedars and cypresses.

There was a grape trellis next to the lake with a swing hanging on it, and broken clay dolls piled up in the corner. Yaoyue was playing football with a few maids.

The maids were also having a great time, and amidst their chattering noises there was occasionally the wild laughter of the little princess.

In the center of the lake, there was a square table made of golden nanmu wood. The servants brought the table, lit sandalwood, and took out piles of exquisite delicacies from the food boxes.

Although this world has less technology and hard work, and the food isn't as delicious, it still retains its authentic flavor.

Beside the lake, there are parked carriages. They are all made of golden nanmu wood and have yellow silk canopies inlaid with gold flakes and jade. They are luxurious and grand, and the horses pulling them are all second-level magical beasts.

Oh, all top-notch sports cars
In addition to dining in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there is also a chess and card room, a lounge, etc.

Yao Ye has changed her clothes. She is wearing a plain long dress and exquisite jewelry. She looks both pure and charming. With a faint smile on her face, she greets the guests one by one.

As for Mr. Hu and his men from the Mulan Empire, they naturally led a group of people away in disgrace. The life and death certificate was there, and they could only swallow this loss in silence.

Besides, it is impossible for them to come to the dinner here.

When Gu Fengchen stood among the crowd of young ladies, he was a little dazed. The girls around him who were wearing low-cut off-shoulder dresses with gorgeous skirts like March crabapples were laughing and winking at him. The men who were wearing elegant long gowns were holding the hands of their female companions.

Gu Fengchen always felt like he had accidentally walked into the Grammy Awards ceremony or the red carpet of a charity gala attended by big-name stars.

In the restaurant, familiar guests gathered in twos and threes, sitting around the sofa or standing by the dining table, chatting and laughing while enjoying fine wine and delicious food.

He planned to get in touch with the eldest princess and hold on to this big thick leg. In the future, she might come to "keep in touch" from time to time, so it was important to build good relationships with the people close to Yaoye.

Cigarettes can pry open a man's mouth, and money can win a man's heart, but none of this is important. What is important are some new ways of playing.

The close ministers and guards around Yao Ye are all men, and apart from playing cards and hunting, their favorite thing to do is drink wine and visit brothels.

And Gu Fengchen just happened to know a new way to play when visiting a brothel.

Russian roulette.

People in Douqi Continent have never heard of such a fancy game, and it is really immoral.

They seem righteous on the surface, but the more they think about it, the more excited and excited they become.

Soon, Gu Fengchen started having a joyful discussion with these men.

After everyone arrived, the banquet finally began.

Gu Fengchen sat at the long table. Bigwigs such as Nalan father and son, Nalan Yanran, Mu Chen, and Mitel Tengshan were all present.

The president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma, sat together with Mitteltenshan.

Ge Ye from the Yunlan Sect was sitting a little further away.

During this period of time, in addition to some things that happened yesterday, President Fa Ma also gave the Lingbai Seven Souls Branch to Gu Fengchen as agreed.

Many alchemists were disappointed yesterday because the Lingbai Seven Souls Branch, which had originally attracted them to the auction, was bought by Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild.

Although many alchemists were unwilling, no one dared to challenge him, and they could only smile bitterly in their hearts. These alchemists were also experienced and naturally understood what was going on, so although they were unhappy, they could not do anything to President Fa Ma.

President Fa Ma attended the banquet today in order to give the Lingbai Seven Souls Branch to Gu Fengchen.

Everyone was seated. Gu Fengchen was lucky enough to sit between Yao Ye and Yao Yue, and had to face Mu Chen's sharp gaze from time to time.

The little princess Yaoyue sat playfully next to Gu Fengchen, stuffing food into her mouth non-stop. She was wearing a bright red palace dress and gorgeous, complicated jewelry.

It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary woman to dress like this, and she will definitely be judged as vulgar.
But for her, it became a plus point, like a beautiful and elegant canary.

During the dinner, everyone spoke differently to different people.

In addition to Mu Chen, Mitel Tengshan, Nalan Su, Nalan Jie, President Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian and other older generations all praised Gu Fengchen with their little mouths as if they were filled with honey.

It was not until today that Gu Fengchen realized that there were so many nice words to describe a person. He was truly ignorant.

Judging from their performance, they all want to win me over.

Originally, I only planned to have a little business exchanging with this group of guys, but before I knew it, we had been praising each other for thirty minutes. Those old seniors called me "nephew" from "young brother" to "good nephew", and Gu Fengchen, as well, called me "uncle".

Damn, there was a table full of food, but Gu Fengchen didn’t eat a single bite. Then he saw Yaoyue smacking her lips beside him, the food smelled so good.

"My dear friend Chen, you can eat whatever you want. These are all made by the royal chef. Try them all. Oh, and you must try this wine. It's the monkey wine from the Monster Mountain Range. It has a strong medicinal property, but it also has certain benefits for cultivation."

Jia Xingtian was also extremely enthusiastic towards Gu Fengchen, without any airs of an elder at all, as if he had met a close friend regardless of age.

From the look on their faces, if you didn't know, you would think that the two of them had a very close relationship.

In his previous life, Gu Fengchen was very good at speaking the truth to people and lies to ghosts. Of course, he could handle this kind of small situation very clearly.

Of course, even if others give him face, he cannot take advantage of the opportunity to relax. Anyway, dealing with these people, Gu Fengchen feels that it is almost the same as dealing with the workplace.

You should be relaxed and tense in both personal and professional life, as life is like a play, and it all depends on your acting skills.

In response to Ge Ye's invitation on behalf of Yunlan Sect, Gu Fengchen smiled calmly and said sincerely, "I have heard of Yunlan Sect for a long time. I have also been fascinated by it for a long time. However, I am still young and my cultivation is not perfect. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit it."

After the business bragging, we can finally start eating.

There is plenty of wine here, listen to the songs, and the dancers dance
Tsk tsk~
This life is indeed a bit decadent.

During the banquet, Nalan Jie sighed, "My dear Chen, you are a member of our Nalan family. Now that you can become friends with the eldest princess, it is a blessing for our Nalan family, hahahaha."

"Shameless! Since when did young friend Chen become a member of your Nalan family? He is the ideal husband of my concubine Yafei. Don't talk nonsense." Mitel Tengshan was unhappy. He had a good relationship with Nalan Jie, but some things could not be compromised.

"The ideal husband? Bullshit. My Yanran has a very good relationship with Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen is not married yet. Don't try to tarnish his innocence." Nalan Jie sneered and did not give in.

Jia Xingtian's face darkened, and seeing that Yao Ye didn't say anything, he kicked his granddaughter under the table.

Although Yao Ye wanted to express that Gu Fengchen was already hers and that everyone should stop arguing about it, she had to save face and couldn't just criticize him like these old guys did.

"Nalan, you bastard, what do you think your Nalan family can give to little friend Chen? Humph, our Miter family is rich in resources and has countless natural treasures. I will give him whatever he wants. You are nothing!"

"Everyone, calm down. He is from the Gama Empire and the Gama royal family. Don't fight. We are all family." Seeing that his granddaughter would not give it to you, Jia Xingtian could only bite the bullet to ease the atmosphere.

"Who the hell is your family!" Nalan Jie and Mitel Tengshan glared at Jia Xingtian at the same time.

The little girl Yaoyue ate very quickly and finished everything in a short while. Gu Fengchen was also annoyed by the noise from these people.

"I would have left directly if I had known. What's the point of attending a dinner? The noise is making me feel suffocated." Gu Fengchen pulled Yaoyue up and left cursing.

"Yes, I finally understand the pain of adults." Yaoyue said maturely, and left cursing.
