Chapter 144 People from the Qin Family Arrive

Xiang Shaolong's tone was full of sarcasm. He wasn't a brainless fool; he was certain that Ling Hao wouldn't dare to make a move here, so he dared to provoke him so brazenly.

Wow, Brother Shaolong is so domineering!

Zheng Jiayi, who was standing nearby, started to cheer.

At this moment, a commotion arose in the crowd; the Li family had arrived.

Li Hongyun and Mi Lan also walked in from the entrance, followed by Li Mu, Li Yi, Li Yue, and Li Han.

Seeing this, Mi Xi said "Excuse me" and then pulled Ling Hao toward Li Hongyun.

Dad, you've finally arrived! Your daughter hasn't seen you and Mom in so long.

Mi Xi said obediently.

A slight smile appeared on Li Hongyun's previously expressionless face as he nodded to Mi Xi.

Grandpa Ling also glanced at Li Hongyun.

Li Hongyun also nodded slightly to Old Master Ling.

Led by a maid, Li Hongyun and his companions were taken to the Li family's territory.

After the initial excitement caused by the arrival of the Ling and Li families subsided, they began to discuss another matter.

Why haven't I seen any members of the Qin family?

They should be arriving soon.

I was fortunate enough to meet the Qin family this time.

I've only heard of him by name but never seen him in person.

This is the younger generation's circle.

Xiaoxiao, over here, over here, come quick!

When Jiangsu saw that Li Mu and the others had also arrived, he quickly greeted them.

Li Mu and Li Yi chuckled when they saw Jiangsu acting somewhat erratically.

Just as Li Mu was about to go over, he remembered something and turned around to look behind him. Behind him, Li Yue and Li Han were looking at Li Mu with resentful expressions, and Li Yue even pouted her little mouth.

Xiaoyue, Xiaohan, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and catch up!

Li Yue and Li Han's eyes lit up, and their resentful gazes instantly transformed into a sense of clarity after the clouds had parted.

Li Mu, Li Yi, Li Yue, and Li Han headed towards Jiangsu.

Li Han looked at Jiangsu and chuckled.

Jiangsu, you must be the older sister of Jiangsu.

I've finally met you.

Who are you?

Su Su is my third uncle's younger brother and sister, Li Yue and Li Han.

Jiangsu nodded and smiled at Li Han and Li Yue.

Sister, why don't you come over? We haven't seen each other in so long, we should have a good heart-to-heart talk.

We also haven't seen Brother Yi, Sister Li Yue, and Brother Li Han for a long time.

Mi Xi said in a teasy tone.

It's best not to see her.

Li Yihan's face was as cold as ice, and the four words that came out of his mouth were also chilling.

Li Yue, who was following behind, rolled her eyes, while Li Han looked annoyed.

Hello, Ms. Li, it's nice to see you again.

A gentle voice reached everyone's ears, interrupting Mi Xi's words. Everyone looked over at the sound.

Oh, it's Mr. Ye.

The person who came was Ye Zongqi. Only he and his parents came from the Ye family this time.

Young Master Ye is here too?

Xiang Shaolong greeted Ye Zongqi in a sly, sarcastic tone, because he knew Ye Zongqi was in cahoots with Ling Hao.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xiang.

Ye Zongqi remained calm and nodded to Xiang Shaolong before ignoring him.

Zong Qi rejected you back then, are you still not giving up?

Ling Hao questioned Ye Zongqi with some dissatisfaction.

A gentleman is a person of propriety, whose behavior is measured, whose words and actions are restrained, and who treats others with humility. I had a first meeting with Miss Li, so shouldn't I greet her upon seeing her again?

Ye Zongqi smiled gently and harmlessly, looking at Li Mu with deep affection.

Ling Hao looked at him with obvious anger and disdain.

Ye Zongqi, what are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty? What are you using to spout nonsense?

Xiang Shaolong felt nauseous looking at Ye Zongqi's dead fish eyes staring intently at Li Mu.

Xiang Shaolong, you should know when to stop talking and be mindful of your words. I won't hold it against you, but don't push your luck.

Ye Zongqi was really about to lose it; he was so angry that his eyelids were twitching.

Just as Xiang Shaolong was about to launch into his tirade, he noticed that the air had gone quiet. The entire banquet was eerily silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked towards the entrance.

Nine people appeared at the entrance. The first six of them were all wearing masks with ancient and intricate patterns engraved on them.

The first person to enter was wearing a dark gold robe with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered in gold thread along the edges of the clothes and cuffs. The embroidered qilin on the back was also lifelike. The person had an excellent figure, and the clothes looked extremely noble on him.

The three people behind them were dressed in black and gold robes. The last two were dressed in silver and gold robes, and the third person was clearly a woman dressed in a red and gold robe.

Wearing long robes and masks is the hallmark of the Qin family, and they are only worn on formal occasions.

The people who appeared were Qin Yin, Qin Yu, Qin Reng, Qin Yun, Qin Luochen, Qin Luoya, Gu Kaizhi, Xia Linqiu, Chang Jun, and Meng Hen.

Upon seeing these people appear, everyone who was sitting stood up, and except for the members of the Li and Ling families, they all knelt on one knee and bowed their heads.

Xiang Shaolong looked at the group of people kneeling on one knee, completely bewildered and at a loss for what to do.

Despite countless internal struggles, Ye Zongqi still managed to forcefully pull Xiang Shaolong, who was standing motionless beside him, to the ground.

I have met the head of the Qin family.

After the people kneeling on the ground greeted the Qin family head, the people from the Li and Ling families also nodded slightly in Qin Yin's direction.

Qin Yin nodded in return.

Just as the group of people kneeling on the ground were about to get up, they heard another voice.

I am truly flattered that my second uncle could come.

The speaker was the Crown Prince of Li Jiancheng's country. He was wearing a light yellow robe and had a handsome face.

Your Highness the Crown Prince

Qin Yin nodded to Li Jiancheng.

Your Highness the Crown Prince

The eight people behind them clenched their fists and placed them in front of their chests, bowing slightly to Li Jiancheng and Li Xiaorui.

Your Highness the Crown Prince

The Li and Ling families also turned around, clenched their fists, placed them in front of their chests, and bowed slightly.

The crowd, kneeling on one knee, turned towards Li Jiancheng and Li Xiaorui and shouted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Princess!"

Please don't be shy, everyone, stand up.

Li Jiancheng nodded and raised his hand.

After Qin Yin appeared, Li Xiaorui's gaze never left him.

To a considerable extent, the expectation and imagination of the perfect man is that he can give any gift and drive any luxury car.

He can advance by unbuttoning his clothes, retreat by moving people's hearts; he can use his pen to bring peace to the world, and he can use his horse to conquer the world; he speaks without making a sound argument, and he remains calm and composed in the face of adversity.

Such a mature man, who is exceptionally caring and protective of you, whose insights into love, emotional intelligence, and life philosophy flow from his fingertips enough for you to savor for a long time, what woman could resist falling in love with him?

Charming, intelligent, and composed. Her allure is irresistible; she always wears a warm and rational smile and maintains a perfectly measured demeanor.

A heart as deep as the sea can hold all the panic and turmoil of a young girl.

He was tall and strong, with a handsome and refined appearance, and exuded an elegant and noble aura.

She is poised and elegant, with a height advantage that makes her look good in any clothes. She exudes nobility, and her face, voice, and figure are all perfectly harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
