After Bai Xiaofei agreed, An Bangting stood up from his seat excitedly and yelled at the maids around him.
"Come here, bring out my treasured Zen wine! Today I and Brother Bai will not return until we are drunk!"
As a huge wine jar was brought up, the originally weird banquet turned into a lively party. Several people exchanged glasses and gradually became familiar with each other.
Except for Liu Rufeng, the remaining two puppet masters are Zheng Gong, a pure individual, and Zhi Daoyuan, a guest of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. In An Bangting's words, in the next month, the four of them will become friends and enemies.
An Bangting personally promised that whoever's apprentice gets the inheritance rights in the end will receive a gift he has prepared. As for what this gift is, An Bangting did not say, only that it will definitely satisfy the four of them.
"Brother Bai, are the three people traveling with you also top students from Xingluo? Why have you always refused to take off your hood? Are you afraid that we might have some different intentions?"
As Liu Rushi spoke, he looked at the three closely-covered Leng Liuli who had been sitting next to the table, with a pair of eyes flashing like a poisonous snake.
"The three of them are my women, and I'm not used to them attracting too much attention."
Bai Xiaofei's answer was so straightforward that Liu Rushi's face was instantly filled with embarrassment.
"Brother Bai, we are all family members. You shouldn't be so careful. Is it possible that you will let your three younger siblings dress like this for the next month?"
Zheng Gong added that Bai Xiaofei's words made him very interested in the three Leng Liuli sisters. They had never seen such beautiful women. In his opinion, Bai Xiaofei was a bit too stingy.
"This is my own business."
Bai Xiaofei pushed back again, with a hint of anger on his face.
"Forget it, brother Bai will be unhappy if we keep talking. There is no need to quarrel over such a trivial matter."
Zhi Daoyuan stood up and acted as a peacemaker, forcing the topic to end here. At the same time, An Bangting also smelled the smell of gunpowder, rolled his eyes, and shouted outside quickly.
"Go and call the four princes over!"
The eunuch outside responded, and An Bangting looked at Bai Xiaofei and others.
"Brother Bai, three masters, let's wait for now. My fourth son will be here soon. I believe you will be satisfied with them."
Bai Xiaofei, who saved An Bangting's face and remained silent, returned to his seat, while Leng Liuli and the others leaned towards Bai Xiaofei happily.
If possible, the three of them would rather dress like this for the rest of their lives, and then leave only their most beautiful side to Bai Xiaofei.
"The prince has arrived!"
While several people were admiring the graceful dance of the palace ladies, the eunuch's shrill voice came in from outside. An Bangting waved slightly, and the palace ladies withdrew. After a while, the four of them and An Bangting looked at each other.
The eldest boy of the father and son walked in.
"My child has met his father!"
The four of them knelt down and worshiped Anbang Ting, their respectful manners were quite filial.
"Get up, I'll call you here so that you can meet your future masters. These four will guide you in the next month to learn various knowledge, especially your half-baked puppet master abilities."
An Bangting said slowly, then coughed twice.
Immediately afterwards, the four princes stood up one after another and saluted Bai Xiaofei and others one by one. It was obvious that the four princes were slightly startled when they saw Bai Xiaofei, because Bai Xiaofei looked so young!
But it's not their fault, after all, the youngest of the four of them is already twenty-one years old this year, and Bai Xiaofei is indeed like a little brother in their eyes.
"Introduce yourself briefly and let your master have an impression of you."
An Bangting spoke again, and the four princes took a deep breath at the same time.
"An Ming is thirty-two years old this year. He is a skilled puppet master. His main puppet is the melee-type Ice Fang Blade. He is looking for a teacher who is good at melee combat, and I believe that I will definitely be a qualified student."
The eldest prince, An Ming, was the first to speak, with confidence on his face. His identity as the eldest son and the strongest among the three were the source of his confidence.
"An Ye, 27 years old, master-level puppet master. The main puppet is a hurricane gun of the long-range attack type. He is proficient in music and likes to make friends."
An Ye is the third prince, and the second prince died in infancy, so besides the eldest prince, he is the eldest.
"An Yue, twenty-four years old, master-level puppet master. The main puppet is a defense-type diamond armor. I'm not very good at talking. I hope you can forgive me, masters."
The sixth prince An Yue seemed to be that naive at first glance. Except for Bai Xiaofei, the remaining three people showed disgusting expressions. If such a seemingly brainless person could inherit the throne, it would really be unreasonable.
.
"An Feng, 21 years old, master level puppet master, illusion type puppet master, please give me your guidance, teachers."
An Feng, who spoke last, slightly cupped his hands in front of a few people. The faint smile on his face made people look very comfortable. Although the name of the illusion system made Liu Rushi and the others frown slightly, An Feng looked like a smart person at first glance.
And the throne is not something that can be obtained by fighting...
After the four princes introduced themselves, Bai Xiaofei and others generally made their own judgments. Then the four briefly introduced themselves and vaguely proposed which prince they wanted to take. The most popular among them was the prince.
The prince An Ming and the youngest An Feng.
However, Bai Xiaofei didn't say anything. His self-introduction was very simple.
My name is Bai Xiaofei, the holder of Star Luo Light!
But with just such a sentence, the four princes instantly lost their composure. The doubts they had about Bai Xiaofei were immediately dismissed, replaced by the excitement of wanting to become Bai Xiaofei's students.
It was this excitement that made Liu Rushi and the other three unable to remain calm.
"Since we are the ones selecting the students, there must be a priority, otherwise it will hurt the harmony if everyone starts to fight."
Liu Rushi said and looked at Bai Xiaofei who was slowly tasting the wine. It was obvious that his words were directed at Bai Xiaofei.
Zheng Gong and Zhi Daoyuan had the same idea. In their eyes, Bai Xiaofei had become the biggest competitor.
"This is not simple yet."
With a slight smile, Bai Xiaofei put down the wine glass in his hand and looked up at the three people who had reached a "consensus".
"Since everyone is a master-level puppet master, why don't we just have a fight? Whoever wins the fight will be chosen first, and the loser will be ranked behind."
As soon as Liu Rushi finished speaking, the three of them were stunned at the same time. They really didn't expect Bai Xiaofei to be so direct!
"Why, don't you three dare?"
The smile on his face deepened, and Bai Xiaofei's eyes gained a hint of provocation.
Don’t you want to see my wife? If I don’t teach you a lesson, my surname is Bai!
