Chapter 179 Another Opening (4)

Gatherings among nobles can be regarded as a common practice, once a month, there are not many people who are eligible to participate, but there are also quite a few.Participation in this kind of gathering is not mandatory, it is dispensable, and only the Chinese New Year and the National Day are required to be attended by all the immediate royal family.There are also many banquets held by nobles in private, but the former are officially organized and specific gatherings.

On weekdays, they were just clan relatives, and Dai Huabin, a son of the royal family but with royal blood, was undoubtedly eligible to participate.

This kind of gathering is also the so-called use to connect feelings. It was established by an emperor who lamented that the royal family was ruthless and did not move around with each other. It has been passed down for hundreds of years.

There were more gatherings this month than usual, and most of them came to see Dai Huabin off.Emperor Xingluo's favorite princess, Xu Jiujiu, also attended the party.

"Auntie", she called out sweetly and walked straight to Xu Xingning for a long time without showing any distinction.Don't look at Xu Xingning's strict demeanor when he was in the Duke's mansion, that's for the servants.On the surface, Her Royal Highness, the Eldest Princess, is really impeccable in her treatment of her relatives. In other noble gatherings, the Duchess is also one of the focuses. You must know that in the days when the Duke of Baihu is not around, the Duke's mansion is full of people. She's running it.

Every time Jiu JiuJiu got into trouble in the palace, even if she ran to the duke's mansion outside Xingluo City to take refuge, Emperor Xu Jiawei couldn't do anything about her.

Now Jiu Jiujiu has naturally lost the mischievousness of that time. After all, he was born in the royal family, and he is always much more mature than ordinary children.

"My princess Jiujiu, you haven't offended your father lately, have you?" Xu Xingning looked at Jiu Jiujiu enthusiastically and said
Jiu Jiujiu said: "How can it be, I have endless classes at Xingluo Royal Academy, and Emperor Father also has endless government affairs, so I can't say a few words in a month."

Xu Xingning's eyes dimmed, and he said with a little melancholy: "Yeah, since you went to school, our place has not been so lively. Even if the Xingluo Royal Academy is in Xingluo City, Shrek Academy is far outside the border. How about it?"

After Dai Huabin saw that Jiu Jiujiu had arrived, he bid farewell to a fellow clan member and walked over.

Dai Huabin, who lost his evil eyes, has a more evil spirit than before, even in a party of this level, he is the absolute center of attention.

For a long time, he carefully looked at Dai Huabin's eyes that were indistinguishable from ordinary people, as if he was confirming something, and when Dai Huabin walked up to him, he smiled and said, "I thought you would become obsolete after losing those evil eyes. Well, unexpectedly, it’s the exact opposite.”

The news of the disappearance of Dai Huabin's evil eyes was not deliberately concealed, but it is known that Dai Huabin has no more than ten people with a second martial soul, and Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiujiu, father and daughter are among them.

And after Immortal Doctor Douluo inspected it and concluded that it was a benign mutation, Xu Jiawei even sent a letter to ask Dai Huabin if he would like to stay at Star Luo Royal Academy, of course it was just for advice.Because even he himself has a heart yearning for Shrek, even if he is the emperor of the empire.And he is also very clear that Shrek Academy's teaching resources are the best, Dai Huabin can achieve greater achievements in Shrek Academy, and Shrek is just an academy, an academy that has no side.

Dai Huabin put on a provocative look and said, "Cousin, you have to be careful in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master League. Don't go to sue uncle again if you get beaten and cried."

A long time ago, every time he was in the Duke's Mansion, he threatened that he would never return to the palace, but every time he was teased by Dai Huabin unbearably and then went back by himself.

An imperceptible embarrassment flashed in Jiu Jiujiu's eyes, and he mocked: "If you were in the Star Luo Royal Academy, maybe the dean looked at the Duke's face and let you come in as a substitute or even play a few times. But Shrek Academy, although I I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit that not everyone in the family can have that qualification, why are you an eleven or twelve-year-old brat."

Dai Huabin said to himself: "You will know when the time comes."

Xu Xingning just watched the two bickering like this, and said at the right time: "Okay, you two, every time you meet, An Sheng will start bickering for a while. But it will be difficult to have such a day in the future."

The party was already halfway through, and seeing that the atmosphere was almost ready, Xu Xingning brought Dai Huabin to the high platform at the end of the banquet hall.

The palace orchestra at the side stopped playing at the right time, and everyone's eyes were also focused on the high platform. Of course, most of them were looking at Dai Huabin.Some people have pity, because the Dai family without the evil eyes means that they have lost the qualification to be the next Patriarch.

Some people are thinking about whether they want to send charcoal in a timely manner, so as to build a relationship with Dai Huabin, and then gain some benefits from the Baihu family.Speaking of which, in addition to being born with a noble status, the people of the clan are also shackled by the blood of the royal family. Many things are not so free, and everything is under the control of that person.

Xu Xingning practiced an impeccable standard court etiquette, while Dai Huabin followed the aristocratic etiquette.Xu Xingning smiled and said: "Fellow clansmen, Xu Xingning is here to bother you for a while today to make an announcement."

"My son, Dai Huabin, has made a marriage contract with Zhu Lu, the daughter of the Zhu family, and we will get married in three years."

Apart from the royal family, the two most powerful families in the Star Luo Empire are the Dai family where the White Tiger Duke belongs, and the Zhu family who is in charge of the empire's intelligence system.The inheritance of these two families is true to rest with the country. Thousands of years ago, one of the Dai family and the Zhu family was the emperor and the other was the queen.

But now the Dai family and the Xu family have occasional marriages, but no one from the Zhu family has ever married into the royal family. For thousands of years, the Zhu family has only sent the best women to the Dai family.

Logically speaking, the royal family shouldn't have allowed such an ambiguous existence between the two big families, but the fact happened like this, and the acquiescence has not changed for thousands of years.

The small groups of the clan began to communicate, and the engagement of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu sent a signal that Dai Huabin was still eligible to compete for the title, which forced the aristocratic circle to re-evaluate the future direction of the Dai family.

Xu Xingning just mentioned this, and brought Dai Huabin off the stage again. The music sounded again, and Dai Huabin remained silent from the beginning to the end.This kind of thing has always been done by Xu Xingning, so of course it's up to him to do it himself in the future.

The party started at ten o'clock in the evening, even if Dai Huabin left early, the night was already deep.

He shuttled through the brightly lit capital city with ease, and came to an ordinary pawn shop. The shop owner looked up and saw that Dai Huabin nodded, and then ignored him.

Dai Huabin walked slowly towards the back hall, and after passing through several small courtyards, he finally saw the person he wanted to see.It was a girl with long black hair but dressed in white clothes. Even though she was young, she was exquisite and well-groomed, exuding a faintly icy coldness from her body.

Before Dai Huabin approached, the girl reacted sharply, and flung her whip kick towards Dai Huabin.Dai Huabin quickly raised his right hand and firmly grasped this leg that was not malicious at all.

Dai Huabin was used to this way of meeting, so he said helplessly, "Don't make trouble, Lulu, I have something for you." The girl in black was naturally Dai Huabin's fiancée Zhu Lu who had just engaged in a marriage contract.

Zhu Lu retracted her legs and stood, without her usual murderous look, but her coldness was hard to hide, with a slight tenderness in her eyes, she said softly, "I have it too."

"Let me put it on for you." The two said in unison, and each took out a strange ring and put it on the other's finger.

It was getting late, Dai Huabin didn't spend too much time with Zhu Lu.The two have been together all day long since they can remember. After awakening their martial soul at the age of six, they were told that there was a high probability that they would become a couple, but they didn't officially get engaged until they were both over 12 years old.

In addition, the two of them will go to Shrek to study together, so there will be more opportunities in the future.

A somewhat hunched figure appeared behind Zhu Lu strangely. It was an old man in his dying years. He looked as if he was about to jump on his legs in the next second and be buried in the loess.

The eyes of the old man were even blocked by a black cloth, and he was probably blind. The old man stretched out his hand and touched Zhu Lu's head precisely, and said with emotion: "A few years ago, your sister followed that kid Dai Yueheng, now it's your turn. The Dai and Zhu families are cultivating younger generations now. It’s not as bloody and cruel as it used to be, but you still don’t forget that you are rivals.”

"Yes, Grandpa." Zhu Lu replied absently.

"Meow~" There was a black cat on the eaves and jumped down.
