Chapter 62 High Profile

In Yuexuan, Cheng Xiao stood in the corner, observing the eager people with a calm expression.

He glanced around him lightly. Not far away, there were also a dozen boys and girls who were very excited. However, unlike the others, they did not dare to step forward. They stood in groups of three or two and cowered in the corner. Like a mouse in the darkness.

Like Cheng Xiao, they were not children of nobles. They spent a lot of money to find a way to enter Yuexuan, hoping to gain the favor of a certain noble, or become lovers, or choose to be loyal.

The entire Yuexuan is like a microcosm of the empire. Ordinary people fawn over the small nobles, the small nobles surround themselves with the big nobles, and the big nobles hope to be valued by the royal family. On the surface, this place is cloaked in etiquette, but underneath it is a fame and fortune fair, where everyone comes to pursue their own desires.

Cheng Xiao has no intention of criticizing, he is also one of them.

He also hoped that in this place, he could establish a relationship with Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.

If it were before, he might have had a headache on how to attract Qian Renxue's attention, but now it was much easier.

Because of Ye Renxin's relationship, the two had already met each other. What Cheng Xiao needs to do now is how to appear in front of Qian Renxue again and let Qian Renxue recall the scene of their first meeting.

The opening ceremony of Yuexuan was not the same as that of the Soul Master Academy. It was a bit pretentious but also elegant.

First, the freshman's speech. As the most dazzling pearl among the freshmen, the candidate is without exception, and naturally it is Xue Ke, the most beloved daughter of Emperor Xue Ye.

Xue Ke stood on the stage with a smile on her face. She lifted up her skirt slightly and nodded gently to the people in the audience. Her raised slender onion fingers were as white as jade. She flexed and stretched her arms gracefully and naturally, without appearing stiff.

Everyone in the audience applauded warmly, and all the whispers were full of praise for Xue Ke. The beautiful girl's chin was raised, looking slightly arrogant. The sunlight filtered through the window and hit the swan's neck, which was as smooth as satin. In front of the slightly raised buds, the cold diamonds reflected colorful light.

A proud princess will be popular regardless of her beauty or ugliness, not to mention that the princess is also a beautiful girl?

But Cheng Xiao's eyes didn't stay on her for long, and moved to the gentle man below. Xue Qinghe was also applauding Xue Ke. Cheng Xiao's eyes flickered, and he immediately had an idea.

Next came the speeches from the parents, and of course it was Xue Qinghe.

The applause from the audience became even louder.

After the two people gave their speeches, the real highlight of the ceremony had just begun.

The dance has begun.

The nobles danced gracefully in the beautiful singing, and while rubbing their hair together, they accomplished their goals.

Young men want to win the favor of beautiful women, and young girls also hope to gain the attention of their admirers.

Under the cover of singing, the parents frequently talked with the prince, just to let their family gain greater benefits from the change of imperial power.

Only the young people in the corner looked blankly at the others walking among the crowd holding wine glasses. They were like bystanders, out of tune with everyone in the scene. They rubbed the corners of their clothes and felt uneasy.

Cheng Xiao chuckled and looked away from them. After the song ended, he stopped the passing waiter and took a glass of wine from the tray in his hand under the waiter's surprised gaze.

The waiter obviously did not expect this situation. Although his duty is to provide food and drinks for everyone present, look at the groups of low-self-esteem teenagers in the corner, let alone taking drinks from the waiter. The last sentence stumbled.

“The wine is good!”

Cheng Xiao drank all the wine in the cup, put it back on the tray, and walked towards Xueqing River with his head held high under the stunned gaze of the waiter.

Does he want to talk to the prince? !

Not only the waiters, but also the cowering teenagers in the corner and other nobles noticed Cheng Xiao's actions. Their eyes widened and shock appeared on their faces.

Where did this kid come from? So bold? No one with a slightly lower title would dare to approach the prince. How could he have the confidence?

Da da da--

During the break between dance music, there was a strange noise in the banquet hall, but no one dared to make loud noises, as that would be a sign of rudeness.

The noise formed by the whispers was not harsh, and remained at a certain subtle level, making the sound of the firm and heavy steps even more noticeable.

Someone saw Cheng Xiao's purpose, and the gloom on his face was clearly visible.

Someone is dissatisfied.

There is a queue to talk with the prince. According to the title, merit, power, etc., everyone has a steelyard in their heart. They consciously maintain the tacit rules. Even the small nobles cannot be ranked, not to mention that this kind of thing seems to have no origin. guy?

"clatter!"

A young man stepped sideways and blocked Cheng Xiao's path. The young man was tall and tall, and the explosive power of his muscles could be vaguely felt under his uniform.

He was much taller than Cheng Xiao. He never lowered his head and looked down at Cheng Xiao. His eyes were full of warnings and threats, as if to say: Go back, that kind of big shot is not something someone like you can get in touch with! According to the rules, civilians should be polite to the little nobles and beg for charity!

Cheng Xiao raised his head, his calm eyes unafraid of the boy's threat. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, put a hand on the boy's ear, and pushed it away.

"Get out of the way! Only dogs get in the way!"

Oops!

A burst of low-pitched exclamations broke out from the crowd peeping around, obviously not expecting that this young man of unknown origin would dare to attack a noble!

Some people snickered, mocking the scolded boy for being embarrassed.

But some people felt offended, and they naturally took the curse to a higher level. They were also part of the group who wanted to stop Cheng Xiao, but someone took action first, so there was no need for them to end, but mentally they had already stood with the boy who blocked the road. On the same front.

dog? Who is he scolding?

It is their duty to maintain order. Otherwise, if anyone comes to challenge the authority of the nobles, who will take them seriously?

Anger built up in the crowd.

The young man who was pushed away staggered to steady his body. He did not feel the anger of the people around him who shared his hatred, but seemed to hear the endless ridicule.

His emotions of shame and anger were swelling. He was frightened and angry. He turned around quickly and roared in a low voice: "Hey! Stop!"

All he got in response was a cold look and... a wave of soul power that made everyone shut up.

There was a trace of mockery in Cheng Xiao's careless eyes. The deathly silence and cold aura of the Shadow King was like a sticky tentacle, gently brushing across everyone's faces, and a feeling of disgust and fear burst out from the bottom of their hearts.

The anger hidden in the crowd was instantly muted.

Xue Qinghe was talking to others. Suddenly, his words stopped and he suddenly looked at Cheng Xiao. At this moment, he felt the vibration of the Seraph Martial Spirit in his body, which was a kind of anger originating from the Martial Spirit.

The Shadow King is also known as the King of the Undead. The light-type Seraphim will naturally be repulsive to the aura of the undead. Especially since the Shadow King is the top undead, the Seraphs will naturally sense it, but this sense is a bit complicated. Although there is anger, there is also a very subtle closeness...

The smile that had been hanging on the corner of Xue Qinghe's mouth gradually disappeared. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Cheng Xiao's cheek. It looked familiar, as if... he had seen it somewhere.

Thanks to: Dieying for the reward.
