I saw Ruolan wearing a red dress that was as long as the floor. Her slender waist was bound by a jade cloud belt, which showed that she was not full. There was a crystal-clear seven-treasure coral hairpin in her hair, which made her face look like hibiscus.
The pair of phoenix eyes are naturally charming, but now they add a gorgeous bun made of blue silk, which makes her look gorgeous and graceful. The little finger-sized pearls in her hair are as bright as snow, and the stars are twinkling under the light.
Exquisite makeup, dignified, noble, quiet and elegant, like a budding hibiscus, spotless, but the slightest hint of majesty between the eyebrows also highlights the nobility of her identity.
Compared to the young Jenny Jenny, tonight's Ruolan undoubtedly displayed her mature charm to the fullest, and she stood out among all the beauties. She was nothing more than the woman who was focused on by all the eyes at the scene at this moment.
"Wow, Master, is this Sister Ruolan? She is so beautiful. Even the most beautiful dancers in Tianling City are not as good as one-tenth of my sister."
After staying in Tianlong Restaurant for so many years, Zhen Ni has seen too many beauties who are called allures. Those courtesans who are famous both far and near are stunning, but compared with tonight's Ruolan, neither her temperament nor her behavior are the same.
Just a little bit off.
At this time, Li Mu could no longer hear any sounds around him. He only felt that his face and ears were burning, and even his breathing seemed to be quickening.
"Hmph, I'm not impressed by the beauty, but isn't the girl next to him too young? Is she really seventeen or eighteen years old? Could it be a younger sister or something? No, I remember he only has one older brother
That’s right.”
Ruolan's eyes always pretended to glance at Li Mu and Zhen Ni casually, and the red faces made her feel less angry. She thought that she still had enough charm, and the other party's heart was obviously not the same.
No self at all.
As for the pretty girl standing next to Li Mu, Ruolan was a little surprised, because all she saw in those beautiful eyes was innocence, and there was no expected hostility or contempt at all.
"Everyone, thank you for attending the dinner held by our Jin Fuxuan today. But the protagonist today is not me, but him."
Ruolan walked to the center of the banquet hall with lotus steps. She moved her lips lightly and made a simple opening statement, which turned everyone's attention to Li Mu.
"This young talent is none other than Li Mu, the great hero who stepped forward to save the entire Qinglan City when our Cangyun Empire faced foreign invasion. Please raise your glass and pay our respects to him.
The highest respect.”
Li Mu didn't expect Ruolan to introduce herself in such a high-profile manner. He was stunned for a while before he stood up amidst the cheers of the whole hall, raised his glass to signal to everyone, and then drank it down in one gulp.
"Master, drink less. You drank too much today. You won't get drunk later. Zhen Ni won't be able to carry you back."
As a series of toasts came, a blush completely covered Li Mu's cheeks. Zhen Ni, who was used to seeing this kind of situation, quickly reminded Li Mu in a low voice.
"This distinguished guest is invited by our lady."
Unfortunately, Li Mu was already surrounded by enthusiastic guests and couldn't get away for a while. Just when Zhen Ni was thinking about how to "rescue" her, a maid slowly walked to her side.
"Well? Me? What do you want from me?"
Somewhat confused, Zhen Ni raised her head and looked in the direction pointed by the maid. She happened to see Ruolan who was smiling and waving to her. She then looked back at Li Mu who was still "fighting", so she had to lift up her skirt and go to the appointment alone.
"Hello, sister Ruolan. My name is Zhen Ni. It's the first time we've met. I'd like to trouble my sister to take care of me in the future."
Before she could speak, she was overtaken by the other party. Ruolan raised her eyebrows and looked at the pretty girl in front of her in surprise. She thought that this girl was not very old, but she was very generous in her conduct and conversation.
"I can't say taking care of you. After all, Li Muke is better at taking care of people than I am. I haven't heard of you before. Did you just get to know each other recently?"
Although her first impression of Zhen Ni was good, Ruolan still carried out her inner plan and tried to get some information out of the other party in the name of small talk.
"That's right, master and I met in Tianling City. Master has shown me kindness, so Zhen Ni will follow him throughout her life."
Ruolan was still wondering how the two met in Tianling City at first, but suddenly she felt something was wrong, her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she asked Zhen Ni.
"What did you call him? Master? Are you Li Mu's apprentice?"
Zhen Ni, who was interrupted, was speechless for a moment. She didn't understand why the sister in front of her was so excited, so she could only nod timidly, saying that she was indeed Li Mu's first apprentice. "That's right, sister, why didn't you come earlier?"
He said, oh my, my sister didn’t prepare any gifts when we first met, I will make up for it later, haha.”
The beaming Ruolan swept away the gloom in her heart. She really didn't expect that Li Mu, whom she hadn't seen for a while, would actually accept a disciple, and she was a beautiful female disciple.
Looking at Ruolan, who looked completely different from the other, Zhen Ni felt more and more confused. The sister who was originally as cold as an iceberg was now holding her arm enthusiastically.
The most exaggerated thing is that while taking him through the banquet hall, he kept stuffing all kinds of delicacies and vintage wines into his hands, like a confidant big sister.
"Sister, haven't you heard your master mention me before? And the names Lin Qingzhu and Nie Xiaoyu, haven't you heard of them either?"
Seeing that the relationship had become familiar, Ruolan also began to ask questions intentionally or unintentionally about some topics that she cared about, including of course Li Mu's views on herself.
"Sister, are you talking about Master Lin and Master Nie? Master usually mentions the two Masters the most, but they seem to be practicing in far away places and will not be seen in a short time. Master must miss them very much.
"
With her mouth full of cake, Zhen Ni could only answer vaguely, but she was smart enough to quickly understand Ruolan's true intention.
"Master has also been thinking about sister Ruolan. He said that without her help, the entire Cangyun Empire might be destroyed. He also said that he would thank her in person no matter what."
Zhen Ni's words with extremely high emotional intelligence completely dispelled the last bit of anger towards Li Mu in Ruolan's heart. If you look closely, you will find that a blush appeared on her face at some point.
"This guy is quite conscientious. Sister, please rest by yourself first. Sister will come back to accompany you later."
Ruolan, who had made a decision in her heart, settled down Zhenni, then turned and walked towards the figure who was still pushing cups and changing glasses not far away. She, who was always resolute, finally no longer wanted to hold some words in her heart.
