The banquet continued, groups of acquaintances gathered together, chatting and laughing amidst clinking glasses, presenting a scene of peace and harmony through song and dance.
But beyond these small circles, Xue An and Zhuo Yangyang were completely isolated.
Everyone deliberately kept their distance from the two of them.
To these people, this Xue An was too reckless, having offended the Zhuo Family, Tian Fu Pavilion, and the Jin Family, all without any solid backing.
Furthermore, the recent demeanor of Her Majesty indicated that she disapproved of Xue An's actions.
Thus, even those who bore no ill will towards Xue An dared not approach him.
After all, to many, it seemed that Xue An was clearly in a hopeless situation, and it was only a matter of time.
However, amidst everyone's odd glances, Xue An led Zhuo Yangyang to the dining table, picked up the exquisite dishes, and began to eat as if no one else were present.
