The crowd, seeing the Second Prince's attitude towards Lin Feng, some even felt a hint of jealousy in their hearts. How could Lin Feng, seemingly unremarkable, be so highly regarded by Duan Wuya, who personally introduced the crowd to him?
After introducing everyone, the Second Prince, Duan Wuya, lifted a jade wine cup from the table and raised it high, saying, "Lin, come, drink with these young talents."
Beside Lin Feng, Wen Aoxue filled a cup with Lovesick Wine and smiled, "Lin Feng, come and taste the lovesick wine, drunk with lovesickness."
At this moment, Lin Feng was also puzzled. Duan Wuya was too kind to him, helping him several times and now inviting him to join these gatherings of the nobility and aristocracy. He couldn't fathom the reason.
Nevertheless, Duan Wuya was very polite to him after all, and he saw no reason to refuse Duan Wuya's invitation. He nodded slightly, not pretending, and raised the jade wine cup, the scent of wine wafting into his nose.
Many in the crowd raised their glasses, though most of them harbored unfriendly feelings towards Lin Feng. However, since the Second Prince had spoken, they had to give face.
However, not everyone was so courteous. At this moment, the youth named Yue Tianxing remained unmoved, his glass still on the table.
Not only him, but Yu Tianxing also made no move, just watching everyone raise their glasses.
Lin Feng had beaten him up in public before. How could he, Yu Tianxing, drink with Lin Feng?
But surprisingly, Duan Han, the son of Duan Tianlang, raised his glass and slightly bowed to Lin Feng, saying, "Your Highness, you have introduced us to Young Master Lin, but we still do not know who Young Master Lin is, or which major family's descendant he is."
Hearing this, Lin Feng's gaze fell on Duan Han. Duan Han had personally accompanied Duan Tianlang to the Cloud Sea Sect and destroyed it. He had also fought against Lin Feng. How could he not recognize Lin Feng?
But Duan Han's words were clearly intended to belittle Lin Feng, because he knew that Lin Feng had no significant background and could not compare to the others present. There was a big difference in status.
Duan Wuya's gaze flickered, he glanced at Duan Han, and another voice sounded.
"Duan Han, why bother asking so clearly? Let's just drink. Brother Lin Feng, you probably haven't tasted the taste of lovesick wine before, after all, the Lovesick Forest is not a place where anyone can enter."
This person speaking was Meng Chong, his voice sly and full of sarcasm, the mockery evident to all.
Many showed surprise. It seemed that Lin Feng had offended quite a few people.
"Who is your brother!"
Lin Feng glanced at Meng Chong, his voice cold, causing the crowd to pause.
"I have never been to the Lovesick Forest, nor have I tasted lovesick wine. But I, Lin Feng, am not so degraded as to call scum like you my brother."
Lin Feng's words were direct and harsh, making Meng Chong's face stiffen. He had deliberately belittled Lin Feng's low status, but even with his low status, Lin Feng would not degrade himself to call someone like Meng Chong his brother. By using the term "scum," Lin Feng was implying that even with his low status, he was still better than Meng Chong.
The crowd showed a hint of amusement. It seemed there was a good show to watch. Lin Feng's arrival here was indeed quite arrogant, showing considerable courage.
Little did they know, Meng Chong's behavior at the auction had already led Lin Feng to equate him with scum, a complete degenerate.
"Your Highness, as you can see, it's not that I don't want to drink this wine, but someone is giving face and then not taking it."
Meng Chong stared coldly at Lin Feng, slamming the wine glass on the sandalwood table, splashing the wine inside the jade cup.
"Do you even have the face to give?"
Lin Feng chuckled, then ignored Meng Chong, leaving Meng Chong with a darkened face, his eyes filled with hatred towards Lin Feng.
"This cup of wine, whether you drink it or not, is up to you. I'll drink it first." Duan Wuya lifted the wine cup, placed the jade cup to his lips, and then drank it all in one go, very refreshingly. His smile was always so gentle, without any arrogance as a prince, making people feel very close and friendly.
Lin Feng pushed his glass forward, then picked up the jade cup and drank the wine inside. He, Lin Feng, was never one to be affected.
As the wine entered his mouth, a cool sensation spread through his body, sweet and moist. Lin Feng closed his eyes slightly, savoring the taste. In this wine, there seemed to be a hint of lovesickness, which quieted his heart, made his mind empty, and peeked into the lovesickness deep in the hearts of others.
"What a magical wine."
Lin Feng exclaimed, surprised by the mood in the wine. The person who brewed this wine was definitely not an ordinary person.
Lovesick wine, drunk with lovesickness, was not just an empty phrase.
At this moment, the crowd also drank the wine in their glasses, closing their eyes slightly to feel the faint lovesickness.
Wen Aoxue turned her gaze and her beautiful eyes fell on Lin Feng, smiling, "Lin Feng, drinking lovesick wine and seeing the person you love, I wonder which lady you saw just now."
Lin Feng smiled and asked back, "What about you? Whom did you see?"
"Me?"
Wen Aoxue's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, then a bitter smile appeared on her lips. She showed a hint of loneliness.
"Lovesickness is tearless. The person I saw, she won't look at me."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, a smile appearing on his face. It seemed that Wen Aoxue was also a sentimental person, which was quite rare.
In the world of martial artists, the pursuit of martial arts was stronger than any other emotion, including love.
Of course, in the world of martial artists, there were also some who placed more emphasis on love than martial arts.
"Alright, the wine is all gone. Our protagonist has not arrived yet. It seems I have to go and urge her."
Duan Wuya smiled at the crowd, causing many to tremble slightly, their eyes showing a hint of anticipation. They certainly knew who Duan Wuya was referring to as the protagonist.
If there was anyone who didn't know, it would be Lin Feng.
With a flicker of his eyes, Lin Feng glanced at Duan Wuya sitting in the upper seat. There was indeed a seat next to him that was empty, obviously reserved for someone else. This person should be the protagonist mentioned by Duan Wuya.
Even the people from the Yue family and the Yu family were only sitting in the guest seats below.
At this moment, Duan Wuya stood up, nodded slightly to the crowd, and then stepped out, disappearing in an instant into the pavilion. Just a moment later
, the crowd saw Duan Wuya appear at the other end of the redwood corridor.
After Duan Wuya left, the crowd remained seated, but Lin Feng clearly noticed that many people's eyes were filled with anticipation, especially Yue Tianxing. His eyes were shining, and his handsome face showed a soft smile, as if he was deliberately presenting himself in a good light.
Of course, there were also people who stared coldly at Lin Feng, such as Meng Chong, Duan Han, and Yu Tianxing, but Lin Feng ignored them all.
"The Second Prince personally went to meet her. Who could it be?" Lin Feng looked to his side at Wen Aoxue, curious.
Wen Aoxue smiled and replied, "You'll know soon enough."
Lin Feng shook his head slightly. This guy, Wen Aoxue, was also keeping him in suspense.
The crowd in the pavilion began to whisper. From their conversation, Lin Feng heard that the person Duan Wuya went to meet should be a woman, and a very beautiful one at that, seeming to make these nobles and aristocrats' sons quite infatuated.
After sitting quietly for some time, the crowd suddenly quieted down. Lin Feng turned his gaze towards the direction of the redwood corridor and saw two figures approaching slowly.
The one walking in front was the Second Prince, Duan Wuya, and following him was indeed a woman.
She was wearing a long green dress, her green hair cascading over her shoulders. With each light step, she seemed to draw the hearts of the crowd towards her.
"What a beautiful woman."
Seeing her perfect face, Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim. Her skin was as delicate as snow, seemingly fragile, her features so exquisite that no fault could be found. She was like a lonely orchid, wherever she appeared, she would make people feel the fragrance of emptiness surrounding her.
"Xinye, come." Duan Wuya walked down the corridor, pausing slightly to let the girl go first.
The girl didn't say anything, lifted her foot, and walked slowly, her steps light and graceful. At the same time, most of the people in the pavilion stood up.
"Princess!"
Soft voices rang out, all these young talents showing handsome and gentle smiles, seemingly wanting to win the favor of the beauty. However, the girl just nodded lightly, not looking at them, and walked straight ahead, her demeanor ethereal.
