It was not only Ye Ming who was confused, but also everyone in the hall.
At this time, the world seemed to have become quiet, and the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
This is the first time Ye Ming has felt such great pressure. He can't tell where the pressure comes from. It seems to come from the eyes around him, or from himself, or both...
But he could no longer be as calm as before, at least there was a storm in his heart.
Qing'er...what is this going to do?!
This scene did not last long. At some point, a cheerful melody sounded in the hall again, and then a large group of people swarmed around. They no longer watched as they did before.
Nonsense - the real owner is here, are you waiting to drink the northwest wind?
Even the two princes and princesses were pushed aside and looked at the two people who were surrounded by three layers of people.
They are so crazy!
But the reputation of a ninth-level soul master is greater than anything else!
The two princes and princesses looked at each other, their helplessness almost beyond words.
"It seems that Zhang Xiang is right. The Queen Mother's arrangement may be ruined..."
"Hey~ It's better to take a bath, I don't care yet!"
Looking at his stubborn sister, Xuelin shook his head and rarely stopped her. He only calmly looked at the shy young girls in the crowd.
From a distance, she looks like a golden boy, but it’s really hard to get involved...
Ye Ming couldn't help but straighten his body and his face became stiff. He could feel his arm on one side being tightened by the girl.
"Hey, act natural and don't let others see your flaws."
Ye Ming turned his body slightly, and his ears could clearly feel the hot breath breathed out by the girl.
"Dad should have told you, you have to play with me tonight..."
The girl pursed her lips, biting her ears in front of everyone, which only made people feel more intimate.
It turns out that a famous lady already has a master. What a lucky boy!
This sight made many people feel extinguished. They recognized that it was the disciple of Mu Mianxia, but it was precisely because of this that they made people despair.
Because of their blood relationship, they would not have such ideas on a girl, but there were many people who were entrusted by others. After all, there were a lot of young heroes in the imperial capital, and who would not set their sights on this girl?
On the shining pearl?
Today is different from the past. Mu Mian is a ninth-level soul master and the first ninth-level soul master born in the country. Even if he removes these false names, he is still a giant when looking at the mainland!
As Mutao's only daughter, wouldn't it mean that if she could be attracted by this person, she would be hugged by a big man?
But after tonight, anyone who wants to do this is doomed to fail!
Emotions of envy and jealousy grew in the bottom of my heart, but they did not appear on their faces. There was not a single idiot here tonight, and idiots would not live long in such a intrigue-filled place like the Imperial Capital, so people still came forward to chat with smiles on their faces.
.
I don’t dare to expect too much, even if I can look familiar in front of you, maybe it will leave a good impression in my heart...
After Mu Qing'er's reminder, Ye Ming felt a little calmer. He had put aside his doubts for the time being and accompanied the girl to work hard to perform tonight's scene well.
At least it has to be superficial...
So he saw with his own eyes the old people who were dressed in luxurious clothes and smiled kindly. They treated Qing'er as if they were their own granddaughters. Most of them were compliments and memories of the girl's mother. They tried to use the most beautiful words in the world to express their kindness.
.
There was a rush of people talking, and even Ye Ming on the side received a lot of praise.
Since he had no experience, he simply acted as a backdrop, but the girl held his arm tightly and handled it very well, showing no sign of stage fright in his words or deeds.
The order of those who came to chat was obviously based on their title. First came the older princes, the princesses from the previous dynasty, and then the younger county princes. As for the following ones, they were no longer qualified to attend this banquet.
But even so, there were still nearly a hundred people present, and excluding the family members they brought with them, there were no less than thirty people with titles.
After dealing with it all, Ye Ming felt a little tired from laughing, and when he found a gap, his face suddenly fell.
He patted his stiff face with his hand, and couldn't help but sigh at the girl's ability. He had never been good at dealing with this, and of course it might be the first time in his life that he encountered such a situation.
"Qing'er, thank you so much for today."
At this time, the girl had already retracted her arm. She kept her eyes on Ye Ming. She didn't smile until she heard the boy's thanks:
"No, I should be the one thanking you."
"I?"
"Yeah, thank you for lending me your shoulder, otherwise I probably wouldn't be as calm as I was just now."
Really?
Ye Ming looked at the girl suspiciously. He thought Qing'er was comforting him, but after meeting those pure and untainted eyes, he quietly changed his mind.
She may be telling the truth——
After all, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl, so how could she have so much experience to deal with those social veterans? Besides, she didn’t even have a serious friend before coming to Lingdou City, and she only had a cat as her companion all day long...
When Ye Ming thought of getting rich, he felt his heart sting again, but he still pretended to be relaxed on the surface.
"That's what you said. My shoulder is reliable, right? How do you feel?"
Mu Qing'er pursed her lips and looked over his shoulder as if she was really thinking about this problem.
His eyes seemed to be reminiscing again, and after a while he smiled and said: "Reliable, always reliable..."
"..."
Ye Ming scratched his head. He always felt that this girl was weird, not just now, but from the beginning of this meeting. It's not that there was anything wrong with her, but she just didn't look like the girl in his memory.
If she had said such words before, she would have been ridiculed, but now she actually said that she was reliable, which made her really not know how to answer the question.
It turns out that three years can really change a person so much...
"Look!"
At this moment, someone shouted something, and the surrounding lights suddenly dimmed, replaced by dots of starlight falling into the hall from the dome, and the surrounding music also slowed down.
The sudden change interrupted Ye Ming's thoughts. He looked around and saw that the people around him were not surprised. Instead, they put down their wine glasses and arranged their clothes, as if they were soldiers about to go on the field.
"What...is going on?" Ye Ming looked at the girl in front of him.
But he saw that she was also looking towards the center of the hall, which was shrouded in a beam of moonlight, forming a circle on the ground.
"The dance has begun, and we don't have much time."
"Dance? Then why don't they dance?"
Mu Qing'er didn't answer immediately, but suddenly took Ye Ming's hand and gestured to move away.
"The second half of the banquet will be the dance. I am the protagonist tonight. I want to do the opening dance first."
Her hands were cold, but Ye Ming didn't care to feel it carefully. He stopped where he was, not even moving the girl.
"Wait a minute! I don't know how to do this..."
At this time, he couldn't describe his heart as anxious. The teacher didn't tell him when he came. If he knew it first, he might be able to practice in advance with his strong mental power and physical control, but now he was in an urgent situation and he had no time.
?
Mu Qing'er looked back at him, suddenly smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I can't do it either."
