At that moment, Pang Loong and Cao Qingxun arrived in front of Mu Ziye.
"Pang Loong greets Sixth Prince …" Pang Loong immediately cupped his hands together and said.
Cao Qingxun also bowed, but she seemed unwilling to do so, as if someone was holding a knife to her neck. If it wasn't for the fact that she thought that she had just caused a disaster and couldn't go against her elder sister's wishes, she wouldn't have come to this banquet even if she was beaten to death. Since she had the time, she might as well find Bai Yuhao and have him hand over the mystical Spirit Beast and take her everywhere to play.
"Master Pang Loong, how have you been! We haven't seen each other in months. " When Mu Ziye saw Pang Loong, he immediately gave a hearty laugh. This Pang Loong was one of the seniors whom he respected the most in Woodgod Kingdom.
Actually, Pang Loong and Mu Ziye had a close relationship. Otherwise, with Cao Qinglan's influence, how could she invite Mu Ziye to a banquet? It was all out of consideration for Pang Loong.
"Yeah, I heard that Sixth Prince had been helping Princess Lingluo with the Border of Lianluo for the past few months. Originally, I wanted to wait for Sixth Prince to come back and find Sixth Prince to reminisce about the old days, but who would have thought that Sixth Prince would follow the order of the country lord to provide assistance later." Pang Loong replied with a smile on his face.
"I have indeed been quite busy these past few months, but if I have the time, I will definitely find Master Pang and reminisce about old times." Mu Ziye nodded, then looked at Cao Qingxun and asked, "Miss Qingxun, these last few months have become more and more beautiful. However, looking at how impatient he is, is he really in a hurry to meet the person he likes? "
Since Cao Qingxun had always been by Pang Loong's side, and Pang Loong would always bring Cao Qingxun along no matter where he went, Mu Ziye had long known Cao Qingxun. Of course, he also understood Cao Qingxun's personality.
"Sixth Prince saw through it. Then, did Sixth Prince allow me to see the person I like first!? " Cao Qingxun couldn't wait to leave as soon as possible, so she went along with the flow and threw Mu Ziye two flirtatious glances.
"Xun, don't talk nonsense." Seeing Cao Qingxun being so disrespectful, Cao Qinglan immediately stood up and walked forward. She bowed to Mu Ziye and said, "Sixth Prince, Xun doesn't know how to speak. Please forgive her!"
"Don't worry about Leader of Cao Family. It's not the first time Miss Qingxun and I have met. Actually, I quite like Miss Qingxun's easy-going personality. I'm really envious of Leader of Cao Family for having such a lively and cheerful sister!" Mu Ziye said casually.
"Sixth Prince is joking. If Sixth Prince had such a sister, then he would have a headache too late!" Cao Qinglan gave Cao Qingxun a helpless glare, but Cao Qingxun still had an expression as though the sky falling down had nothing to do with me.
Mu Ziye also burst into laughter when he saw the different expressions between the two sisters.
"Xun, come sit with me. You're not allowed to go anywhere tonight. Just stay here." Cao Qinglan whispered to Mu Ziye as she pulled Cao Qingxun along after nodding with a smile.
When Cao Qingxun heard that, she immediately pouted with a depressed expression. However, in the end, her protest didn't work and she still followed Cao Qinglan back to her seat. Pang Loong also walked back first.
After the banquet started, there were a dozen or so dancers wearing thin gowns that revealed their jade-like arms that were like lotus roots and shoulders. After that, Wen Le started dancing, looking extremely beautiful.
"Sixth Prince, I represent Cao Family for this cup. I pay my respects to Sixth Prince for being able to come here when he is busy …" At this moment, Cao Qinglan elegantly picked up the wine cup on the table and raised it up towards Mu Ziye. She then used her sleeves to cover her face as she finished the wine in one gulp.
"Leader of Cao Family is too polite!" Mu Ziye also politely raised his glass and emptied it.
After that, Cao Qinglan found some topics to talk to Mu Ziye, and within her words, she would also try to sound out Mu Ziye's thoughts. This was because the reason why she invited Mu Ziye to the banquet was to try to rope Mu Ziye in, and she hoped that Mu Ziye would be able to support Cao Family.
Not long after, those family heads came forward one after another to toast Mu Ziye, hoping to leave a good impression on him. Mu Ziye, who was used to seeing this kind of scene, was also very calm.
After that, the Cao Family elders and Hall Master also toasted to Mu Ziye. Only the Xiao Family Patriarch, Xiao Rong, did not make any movements, and only after everyone had toasted to Mu Ziye did he nod towards his own daughter, Xiao Mei.
"Father, it's too late to regret it now …" Xiao Mei couldn't help but remind him.
"Let's go." However, Xiao Rong had already made up his mind. He picked up his wine cup and stood up.
When Xiao Mei heard this, she had no choice but to follow Xiao Rong to the front of the banquet hall and arrived at Mu Ziye's table.
"Xiao Family Clan Master Xiao Rong greets Sixth Prince!" Xiao Rong immediately toasted Mu Ziye.
"Clan Head Xiao? Oh, it's that rather famous Xiao Family from the Beast Curing Arts. " Mu Ziye thought for a while and said.
"I never thought that Sixth Prince would hear about Xiao Family's Beast Curing Arts, and it really makes this Xiao and Xiao Family feel honored." Xiao Rong looked flattered, but he immediately looked at Xiao Mei who came along and introduced her to Mu Ziye, "Sixth Prince, this is my daughter, Xiao Mei. She usually looks up to Sixth Prince, but today is a rare opportunity, so I specially brought her here to toast Sixth Prince …"
Mu Ziye's gaze moved around the beautiful Xiao Mei for a bit before he immediately retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Clan Head Xiao has really given birth to a heavenly daughter!"
"Sixth Prince is too kind, Mei'er doesn't deserve it!" Xiao Mei's voice was soft and charming, as if she could captivate souls. She then toasted to Wu Tie.
Mu Ziye also responded politely.
"Mei Er, it's rare for you to meet Sixth Prince, this is your honor, and also the Xiao Family's. In order to show our respect for Sixth Prince through our Xiao Family, you should stay and serve Sixth Prince!" Xiao Rong said with deliberate pride.
"Clan Head Xiao, I don't think that's necessary!" When Mu Ziye heard this, he immediately waved his hand and refused. In fact, how could he not see through Xiao Rong's intentions? The moment he saw Xiao Rong bringing his daughter, who looked pretty good, to toast him, he understood a little more. However, although Xiao Mei was good-looking, she was not his type. Furthermore, Xiao Rong clearly had other intentions, so he wouldn't give her any chances. Currently, he was fighting with the other princes in the open and in the dark. Thus, he had to be careful in his conduct, so as to not let anyone down on their words. Especially for women, he was very clear on the logic of bewitching women!
