Capítulo 141: Come On Let's Dance!
As the host Sima Lanxiao announced the start of the banquet, the service staff brought out the drinks one after another. Ling Hongchen took a glass from a waiter's tray and said, "The banquet has begun. I, an old man, will not be here to hinder your eyes any longer. Have fun."
With that, Ling Hongchen walked away with his wine glass and mingled with the other guests. Gu Yuena watched him leave, then pulled Anping along and headed towards Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan.
They were not far from Shrek's group, who were being harassed by the students from Star Luo Royal Academy. Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan did not seem to care about the trouble, and did not offer any help to their former classmates.
The reason for this conflict was that Shrek Academy had rejected Star Luo Royal Academy's request for an exchange program. The participants of this cross-border exchange event were all elites from Star Luo Royal Academy, and they felt insulted by Shrek's refusal. Now that they were on the same ship, they wanted to vent their anger and frustration on Shrek.
Shrek's group was already in a bad mood because of the recent events. They did not appreciate the provocation from Star Luo Royal Academy, and they responded with hostility.
Suddenly, someone blocked their way. Before the person could speak, Tang Wulin snapped, "Get out of the way!"
The person was a boy who looked slightly older than Tang Wulin. He was from Star Luo Royal Academy, and he introduced himself as Luo Qinghan, the captain of their exchange team.
He reached out his right hand to shake hands with Tang Wulin, but Tang Wulin was not in the mood for pleasantries. He slapped his hand away and said coldly, "I told you to get out of the way! If you want to talk, meet me in the ring."
Luo Qinghan shook his head and smiled. "I have no ill intentions. I just want to get to know you. Why are you from Shrek Academy so poor that you can't even wear formal clothes for the banquet?"
He glanced at Tang Wulin, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan. Xu Lizhi was self-conscious about his figure, and his face turned red when Luo Qinghan said that.
Ye Xinglan stepped forward and stood in front of Xu Lizhi. She said coldly, "I think Shrek's academy uniform is the best formal attire. Do you look down on our academy?"
Luo Qinghan did not dare to say anything disrespectful about Shrek Academy. He said, "Of course not. It is the number one academy on the continent. Who would dare to look down on Shrek Academy?"
"But if I remember correctly, those two people are also from your academy. How come they are with the people from Sun Moon academy? Doesn't that mean you have a bad relationship with Sun Moon Academy?"
He pointed at Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan. Shrek's group knew who he meant without looking back, and their faces darkened.
Luo Qinghan was not deliberately trying to stir up trouble with Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan. He did not know that they had left Shrek Academy and joined Sun Moon Academy. It was not something that Shrek Academy would announce to the public.
It was understandable that Luo Qinghan was ignorant, especially since Le Zhengyu had just dropped out today. But seeing the expressions of Shrek's group, he realized that it was a sensitive topic.
He saw that Shrek's group was about to take action. He had wanted to provoke them, but he did not want to fight with them here. He chuckled and left with his teammates from Star Luo Royal Academy.
Le Zhengyu's nonsense had attracted the attention of everyone at the venue to Anping and Gu Yuena. As they walked through the crowd, people greeted them and chatted with them.
They were so busy that they missed the previous scene when they reached Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan. Hearing Le Zhengyu's words, Anping asked curiously, "What didn't start a fight?"
Le Zhengyu said with some regret, "Star Luo Royal Academy and Shrek Academy, you didn't see how tense they were. They were about to fight, but the people from Star Luo Royal Academy left unexpectedly."
Xu Xiaoyan glared at Le Zhengyu's look of enjoying the drama and said angrily, "How could they start a fight? This is a banquet hosted by the Star Luo Empire. As guests, they can't cause trouble for them, right?"
Le Zhengyu rolled his eyes at Xu Xiaoyan and said, "What's with your attitude? You're obviously happy to see it."
He ignored Xu Xiaoyan and saw that Anping had nothing in his hands. He stopped a waiter, took a glass of wine from the tray and handed it to Anping, saying, "How can you not drink at a banquet?"
Anping was about to take it, but Gu Yuena stopped him and said with a smile, "He can't drink, or else something bad might happen."
Gu Yuena was still impressed by Anping's drunkenness last time, and she was worried about what he would do on such an occasion. Especially since Anping was stronger now, if anything happened, everyone would know about it.
Anping remembered what happened last time and nodded awkwardly, saying, "I'm really not good at drinking, so let's skip the wine."
It wasn't that Anping hadn't tried to solve this problem. It was actually the body made by the Sky of Truth. With his current strength, he couldn't analyze anything, so he had to leave it alone.
Seeing that Le Zhengyu wanted to say more, Xu Xiaoyan pulled him aside and whispered to him about the incident in Skysea City.
Although Le Zhengyu liked to fool around, he didn't dare to go too far in front of Anping and Gu Yuena. He muttered that he couldn't drink, and that was the end of it.
Maybe because there were not many people dancing on the dance floor, Sima Lanxiao picked up the microphone again and walked to the center of the dance floor, saying, "As I said before, there will be a small game at the banquet tonight, but I don't know about you. I'm not worried, but I'm really troubled by how few dancers we have on the dance floor right now."
"You have to know that most of the people here are young people, and what young people need is energy. Please don't suppress your inner passion. Come on, let's dance together!"
Whether it was because of Sima Lanxiao's encouragement or because they wanted to give face to the host, more people finally joined the dance floor, including Tang Wulin and a girl in a light blue dress.
Looking at the crowd on the dance floor, Anping spotted Ditian, who was wearing a black suit with gold patterns, and Brigitte, who was wearing a green dress, and said with some surprise, "Aren't those Ditian and Brigitte?"
He knew that Ditian and Biji would be on the boat, but he was surprised that they would be on the dance floor.
Gu Yuena followed Anping's gaze and saw that it was indeed them, but she was not surprised. After all, Anping had his props with him, so there was no need to worry about exposing their identity.
She pulled Anping towards the dance floor and said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "Let's go dance too."
Gu Yuena said so, and Anping would naturally not refuse.
