Because each of the people Ye Chen invited stood at the top of the pyramid in various fields.
So much so that no matter how arrogant people are in normal times, they dare not maintain their identity at this moment, and all of them appear extremely humble and cautious.
No matter how much he drinks, no one dares to go crazy with alcohol.
"Everyone!"
Until the current master of Burial Sky Valley arrived from far away, Ye Chen finally raised his wine glass, glanced at the dozen or so people present, and said in a loud voice: "I may have to travel around the world in the next few days, but I promised you all before that I would take some time.
See you first!"
"In order not to break the promise, I would like to invite you all to come over and meet together before I leave. I hope you will forgive me if I have made any mistakes!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"You're welcome, little friend!"
"It's an honor for me to be invited by you!"
"If we hadn't been invited by my friends, we might never have met each other in our lives!"
"My little friend, your move not only gave each of us face, but also promoted communication between us. It's too late for us to be grateful, so how could we hold grudges against you?"
Everyone did not dare to delay. They raised their glasses with both hands and drank the wine in a very elegant manner.
But then, someone else exclaimed: "My little friend, are you leaving?"
"Yes!"
Ye Chen nodded, "I came from the Southern Territory and just wanted to come to the Imperial Capital to see it. Now that my wish is over, it's really time to leave!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present became anxious.
"My little friend, are you leaving so soon?"
"We haven't seen your true face in Lushan yet."
"Yes, you are known as Nan Lang who can save the empire according to the oracle. What will the empire do when you leave?"
"My little friend, can you take off your mask and let us see your grace?"
Everyone's eyes were burning and their faces were filled with longing.
In this regard, Ye Chen pretended to be difficult, "To be honest, I have heard about the oracle that you all mentioned, but I always believe that it is just a rumor fabricated by someone, so please don't believe it!"
After a pause, he added: "The gods have long since left the world, so where did the oracle come from? It must be false. I hope everyone can look at it rationally."
The more he said this, the more convinced the big men present were.
They didn't believe in oracles to begin with.
Some of them even believed that the so-called oracle was a rumor spread by Ye Chen himself.
The purpose is to put money on his face and establish himself as the savior, so that he can influence the situation of the struggle for the throne.
The reason why they came so eagerly is because Ye Chen indeed has extremely high attainments in the fields they are good at.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen himself said this was a rumor.
This proves that this rumor was not spread by Ye Chen, and may be a real oracle.
"Little friend, you are too modest!"
"That's right. Now that you're here, why bother leaving in a hurry?"
"We would like to continue to communicate with you more."
"It's not that we are forcing things on others, but we all want to see your true face under the mask, so please grant our small request!"
In order to express their sincerity, everyone stood up one after another and bowed to Ye Chen.
"this……"
Ye Chen was even more embarrassed.
However, being stared at by so many pairs of eager eyes, he hesitated again and again and nodded, "That's all. The reason why I wear a mask and never reveal my name is because I don't want to be disturbed by the world. But since you are so curious,
It doesn’t hurt to take off the mask and take a look, I just hope you won’t be disappointed!”
After saying that, he finally reached out and took off the mask on his face.
As the mask was lifted, his true appearance was finally revealed to everyone.
He has clear features and handsome eyes, and is extremely handsome.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
It wasn't Ye Chen's handsome appearance that shocked him, but Ye Chen's age.
Because Ye Chen looked to be in his early twenties.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed that such a young man's attainments in various fields were far beyond those of the top talents and strangers like them.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Ye Chen said at the right time: "Is your appearance disappointing to you?"
Hearing this, everyone came back to their senses from the state of shock.
"My little friend misunderstood, we are not disappointed, we just can't believe it!"
"Yes, we originally thought that with his outstanding achievements in various fields, our little friend should at least be an average person, or like most of us, already gray-haired, but we never thought that he would be so young!"
"You really are a terrible person!"
"You have already achieved so much at such an age. Given time, I can't imagine how unimaginable heights you can reach!"
Instead of showing contempt for Ye Chen because of his youth, everyone was even more in awe.
Ye Chen's achievements at this moment are secondary, the most important thing is his potential.
At such a young age, he is already far ahead of them in various fields. If he had waited another ten years, or even twenty years, or fifty years, how high and far would Ye Chen have gone?
"You guys are overly complimentary!"
Ye Chen waved his hand and said modestly: "In the final analysis, I am just an ordinary person. I am truly lucky to have you think so highly of me!"
"Then dare I ask my little friend his name?"
The piano master Mei Nongqing asked cautiously.
Others immediately became interested.
They couldn't wait to come. In addition to wanting to see Ye Chen's true appearance, they also wanted to find out Ye Chen's name.
Now I have seen his appearance, but I don’t know his name.
"Now that the masks have been taken off, there is nothing to hide the name!"
Ye Chen smiled and said in a very shy tone: "I'm Ye Chen, Ye of leaves, Chen of stars!"
"Ye Chen?"
"Good name!"
"So this is Nanlang's name in the oracle?"
Although the name Ye Chen does not have any profound meaning, it is worthy of everyone's consideration.
"The name is just a code name, you don't need to take it too seriously!"
Ye Chen smiled, and then continued to chat and laugh with everyone.
Sometimes he discusses chess skills with the chess sage Qiu Sihai;
Sometimes he flirts with Qin Shengmei and exchanges piano skills;
From time to time, he would discuss the art of swordsmanship with the master of Buried Sky Valley in the distant mountains...
At this banquet, he almost became the center of attention.
No matter what he said, these people almost always followed his lead.
While he was communicating with this group of people, strong men from all forces gathered around Tian Laizhiyin.
"Is this Nanlang's true face in Lushan?"
"Finally found him!"
"It turns out that Nanlang, who was predicted by the oracle to be able to save the empire from chaos, actually looks so handsome!"
"Yes, it seems that the oracle is right. Nanlang is really just a young man, and his name is Ye Chen!"
