Chapter 109 Ya Fei's Invitation
As evening approaches and the sun sets, the sunset glows in the west, and the holy city of Jama is set off against a particularly beautiful backdrop.
"Huh, it's about time to eat something." In the room, Xiao Se, who was sitting cross-legged on the Green Lotus Pedestal practicing, slowly opened his eyes, sighed softly, touched his shriveled belly, and murmured.
He put away the Green Lotus Seat and dispersed the Vast Sea Protective Shield. Just as Xiao Se was about to go out, there was a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, Xiao Se was slightly stunned, but he saw Yafei's pretty face filled with a hint of anxiety and a touch of charm.
"I hope I didn't disturb your practice." Ya Fei said hesitantly.
Xiao Se shook his head and smiled, "Nothing, I just happened to be going to find something to eat, what's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's narrow and beautiful eyes revealed a hint of foxy cunning. She took Xiao Se's hand with a smile and said softly, "Come on, I just know a place where you can eat the most precious food in the Jiama Empire."
Xiao Se frowned, "You are not talking about the banquet held by the royal family, are you? Sorry, Sister Yafei, I don't want to have anything to do with politicians."
After being exposed by Xiao Se, Ya Fei's pretty face showed a trace of guilt. She immediately gave up and clasped her hands together, revealing the appearance of a little girl, and begged: "Please, I have a secret this time. As long as you help me this time, I will agree to any conditions you put forward in the future."
"Can you agree to anything?" His eyes swept across Yafei's beautiful cheek, then slowly moved down, passed over her jade neck, and finally landed on the seductive inverted jade bowl. Xiao Se's throat rolled and he grinned evilly.
Being stared at by Xiao Se like this, Ya Fei had no idea what he was thinking. Her pretty face flushed, she stamped her feet, and said angrily, "You are still young and don't learn well. Wait until you are an adult. If you continue like this, be careful that your sister will tell your true identity to others."
Seeing Ya Fei's shy look, Xiao Se curled his lips and smiled, "You can go, but you have to tell me what you are going to do. I know Sister Ya Fei's methods. Don't let me be sold out by you and count money for you."
Ya Fei nodded, frowned her slender eyebrows slightly, and sighed helplessly: "You should remember that I went to Wutan City two years ago. At that time, it was not entirely because I was sent by the family. Part of the reason was to avoid a person. He was Mu Zhan, the young master of the Mu family, one of the three major families in the Jiama Empire. He has threatened many times to marry me. But I don't have any feelings for him. But I can't offend him. So I can only choose to escape. In the past six months since I came back to the imperial capital, I have tried to reduce going out as much as possible, just to stay away from that madman. But today I need to go to this party with Patriarch Fujiyama on behalf of the Mitel family, so I have to go, so."
Xiao Se suddenly realized that this was what happened in the original novel, and immediately said with a smile: "So you want me to be your shield?"
Ya Fei nodded gently, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and she said pitifully, "Can you help me? After all, you are my only friend."
"Uh, you are tempting people to commit crimes, you know that?" Xiao Se pulled the corners of his mouth. He was born with a charming figure, and then he showed the appearance of a wronged young wife.
He cleared his throat and said helplessly: "I can help you, unless..."
Ya Fei's eyes lit up, "Unless what?"
Xiao Se smiled evilly and said, "Unless you kiss me."
As soon as the words fell, Ya Fei took a step forward, bringing a gust of fragrant wind, and gently touched his cheek with her little mouth, then stepped back a few steps, half turned around, facing Xiao Se, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Se, this is my first kiss, please don't break your promise."
"Damn! They're doing this for real." Xiao Se murmured and touched his cheek in disbelief. There was still a trace of moisture and a faint fragrance on it. He smacked his lips and said, "Damn it, this ice silkworm mask is a bargain."
Hearing Xiao Se's murmurs and smacking of lips, Ya Fei's pretty face turned even redder when she turned away. She took a deep breath, tried to calm the throbbing in her heart, and waited quietly for Xiao Se's answer.
"Okay, let's go." Looking at Yafei's blush that was almost spreading to her ears, Xiao Se did not expose her. He cleared his throat and said helplessly.
Hearing Xiao Se's agreement, Ya Fei's shy face disappeared immediately, replaced by joy, and she turned around and led the way elegantly. Xiao Se couldn't help but twitch his mouth at Ya Fei's rapid change of expression. This woman walked out of Miter Auction House. Under the leadership of Ya Fei, Xiao Se took a carriage to the venue of the banquet, the Jia Ma Empire Palace.
When we walked through the gate, we saw fully armed soldiers standing on both sides of the bluestone road. In addition, there were many patrolling soldiers around. When the soldiers saw Yafei and Xiao Se coming in, they did not stop them.
As one of the three great beauties in the imperial capital, Ya Fei is relatively famous. Moreover, at such a young age, she is in charge of the huge Mitel Auction House and manages it in an orderly manner, which makes her reputation no less than the other two of the three beauties.
The two walked side by side to an empty square, which was filled with banquets.
Suddenly, Yafei stopped.
Following Ya Fei's line of sight, she saw a quiet seat in the corner. An old man with white hair and a beard was talking to Mittel Tengshan with squinting eyes. He smiled from time to time. His serious old face vaguely revealed a bit of majesty. It was obvious that he was a veteran of many battles.
"You have met one of the two people over there. He is Mitel Tengshan, the patriarch of our Mitel family. The other one is the patriarch of the Nalan family and the grandfather of Nalan Yanran. I heard that you have met Nalan Yanran in the Alchemist Guild, so I will not introduce him in detail." Ya Fei introduced in a low voice.
"I will only be responsible for the meal. Call me if you need anything." She nodded casually. Xiao Se stepped aside and followed her slowly. Ya Fei quickly walked to Mittel Tengshan's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
After a moment, Mittel Tengshan nodded with a smile, stood up looked at Xiao Se, and said with a smile: "Friend Xiao Huohuo, I am Mittel Tengshan, the patriarch of the Mittel family. It's nice to see you again. Are you used to living in the Mittel Auction House?"
Xiao Se nodded slightly and chuckled, "Thank you for your concern, Chief Tengshan. Everything is fine."
"Haha, that's good, that's good. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Old Hai. Let me introduce him to you." Mittel Tengshan narrowed his eyes, tilted his head to look at the white-haired old man beside him, and introduced: "This is one of the top ten strongest people in the Jiama Empire, and he is also the Lionheart Marshal of the Empire and the patriarch of the Nalan Family, Nalan Jie."
"Chief Nalan." Xiao Se bowed slightly and chuckled.
