The people attending the banquet in Heaven Dou City were all prominent figures, including nobles and influential families.
Not only were there people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but surprisingly, there were also people from Shrek Academy.
Xue Qinghe appeared before everyone with Jiang Xiaofeng, and Jiang Xiaofeng saw Tang San in the crowd!
Compared to before, Tang San's face had lost a lot of its swelling, but the wounds were still visible.
Xue Qinghe was somewhat surprised. He had only been gone for a short while, but how had Tang San become so injured?
"How strange, how did he get so hurt??"
Jiang Xiaofeng stood silently to the side, as if he had nothing to do with the matter.
Instead, Xue Qinghe turned to look at Jiang Xiaofeng!
Jiang Xiaofeng felt uneasy under Xue Qinghe's gaze.
"What are you staring at? I was asleep all afternoon. You don't think I did it, do you?"
"But you said you didn't like him and wanted to beat him up. And he actually got beaten. You're the prime suspect!"
Jiang Xiaofeng spread his hands.
"If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do. Why don't you ask me if I did it?"
Xue Qinghe shook his head helplessly. "Forget it. He's already in a bad state. If I go and ask, it'll be adding insult to injury. You need to get to know these people. After all, we'll be dealing with them quite a bit in the future!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded helplessly.
It was at this moment that Tang San also noticed Jiang Xiaofeng.
Tang San's murderous eyes were fixed on Jiang Xiaofeng, and anyone could see that Tang San's injuries were largely related to him.
Xue Qinghe helplessly rubbed his forehead.
"You still say it wasn't you? Look at the way he's looking at you. How did you do it? You slipped away under my nose and beat him up. I'm very curious about your methods!"
Jiang Xiaofeng said calmly, "I have a Clone Technique, do you believe it?"
Xue Qinghe was directly amused.
"Forget it, I won't hold you responsible. Just stand by me and don't make a sound!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded, but soon, several people walked in from outside.
The people who came were none other than Yu Xiaogang, whom Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to kill.
"I didn't expect this guy to be here too. Looks like this trip wasn't in vain!"
Jiang Xiaofeng glanced at Master.
Xue Qinghe, who was beside him, introduced to Jiang Xiaofeng,
"This is the famous Master Yu Xiaogang of the Soul world. His theories are now accepted by many sects and forces. He is indeed a good theoretical master. If there's an opportunity, I'd like to have him work for me!"
However, Jiang Xiaofeng said lightly, "If there's an opportunity, I'll just kill him directly!"
Xue Qinghe looked at Jiang Xiaofeng with a surprised expression.
"Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble for me? Don't forget, this banquet is hosted by my royal family. If you really cause any trouble, even I won't be able to protect you in some situations!"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "It has nothing to do with you. I just feel a little itchy when I see this refined-looking, beast-hearted guy."
"Oh, I'd love to hear it!"
"..."
Jiang Xiaofeng's thoughts at this moment.
You little brat, your mother was used by him back then, he deceived her feelings for years, and you still want to reuse him? Do you believe I won't spank you until your bottom blooms?
"Nothing much, just like that guy, I don't like looking at him!"
"Oh, do you know that Tang Yin is called Tang San and is a member of the Shrek Academy team! Do you remember the All Continent Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament from five years ago? They won second place!"
"Oh~ Who cares about them!"
Jiang Xiaofeng already knew, but he had absolutely no interest in Tang San and the others.
Xue Qinghe really couldn't figure out Jiang Xiaofeng, who was so casual that he was utterly unpredictable.
"Forget it. Since you don't want to get acquainted, I won't force you. Just stay quiet and don't cause me any trouble!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded. But, did you really think Jiang Xiaofeng would be quiet?
The banquet began, and the various powers took their seats. Everything seemed so harmonious.
However, Master Yu Xiaogang was very curious about Jiang Xiaofeng. So, after several rounds of drinks, he made a request to Xue Qinghe.
"Your Highness, I heard that your guard is extraordinary. He's a Soul Emperor at such a young age. As a scholar, I'm very curious about his Martial Soul and his innate soul power!"
Xue Qinghe said with a smile, "Master, you flatter me. He's just an ordinary guard; there's nothing to praise. However, your disciple, Tang San, has changed a lot in these years. Not only has his appearance changed drastically, but his strength is also very outstanding. He probably has few rivals among his peers!"
Master's expression wasn't very good. If it weren't for the afternoon's accident, he would have thought that Tang San had no opponents among his peers. But it just so happened that Tang San was beaten to a pulp this afternoon, and the person who did it was Jiang Xiaofeng, behind Xue Qinghe.
"Your Highness, you're joking. If my disciple were so outstanding, he wouldn't have been injured today. So, as a scholar, it shouldn't be a problem for me to be interested in your guard, right? After all, my disciple's studies are not refined enough, and I want to help him improve further. I can only trouble your guard to lend a hand."
Jiang Xiaofeng responded with a light tone before Xue Qinghe could even speak.
"I have no interest in trash!"
Silence descended upon the entire scene as soon as the words left his mouth.
Xue Qinghe felt a bit awkward. Is Jiang Xiaofeng here to ruin my reputation? Initially, having such a handsome bodyguard felt like a great source of pride. He was talented and had high cultivation, and wherever they went, people would praise him. But now, it seemed this guy was here to antagonize him.
Yu Xiaogang glared and shouted, "I'm talking to your master, when is it your turn to speak, servant?"
Jiang Xiaofeng sneered, "Just a Soul Grand Master, and you have the audacity to call yourself Master here? I think 'scum' suits you better!"
"You... Your Highness, this is your bodyguard? So lacking in manners!"
Xue Qinghe quickly stood up.
"Master, don't worry. Jiang Dong is a guard I just took on. He's been wandering around the Douluo Continent, so he lacks proper etiquette training. I'll have him be more careful next time!"
Xue Qinghe seemed to be apologizing to Yu Xiaogang, but in reality, he said nothing of substance.
But who in the room didn't understand?
Yu Xiaogang wouldn't possibly make the prince apologize, would he? That would be directly disrespecting the prince.
Yu Xiaogang was furious, but he had no recourse.
The banquet continued. However, the people from Shrek Academy left early.
Xue Qinghe shook his head helplessly and said, "Are you sure you didn't come to cause trouble?"
"What does his impatience have to do with me? I think you, Your Highness, also look down on him, otherwise, you would have had me apologize to him, but you didn't."
Xue Qinghe chuckled.
"You, you're quite good at reading people's minds. I'm starting to wonder if you're a pawn planted by another faction!"
Jiang Xiaofeng thought: Don't worry, my dear daughter, your future stepfather is here to mess things up for you.
