About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

The seating arrangement of the Cangran Emperor's Flower Letter Festival dinner formed a shape. The emperor, who seemed to be in his forties, naturally sat in the middle, with guests on both sides. These guests included princes, princes and ministers. There are also princesses, princesses and some celebrities in the country. The seats for male guests are on the left side of the emperor, and the seats for female guests are on the right. Each guest can bring one family member, one attendant or maid.

If they are bringing their family members, the men here usually bring their heirs or male favorites, while the women are mostly male-faced ones, and there are very few who bring female family members, which makes the number of men on the seats seem particularly large. Yang Yuyao frowned slightly when he saw this scene. The reason behind this scene made him a little unhappy. He couldn't understand the weird practice of these people who were unwilling to take their women out, but regarded raising a beloved boy as a way to show off their capital. Of course, not everyone brought their family members or attendants with them, and there were also many who went to the banquet alone.

Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing were placed on the left side of the emperor, closest to the emperor. They shared a desk, and they were probably counted as attending with their families. Of course, neither Yang Yuyao nor He Qianqing had any objections to this arrangement. The Flower Letter Festival dinner started so late, so naturally it was not mainly about eating and drinking, but watching the performances was the focus. Therefore, there is no need for a large table to hold food and drinks.

Therefore, each seat will be equipped with an extended table and several futons. Guests can sit cross-legged directly on the futons. There is a flat-bottomed porcelain plate on the table with a pot of wine and two wine glasses. And some roasted fruits and vegetables. There are also two pairs of chopsticks placed on chopstick holders. A large space was left empty, waiting for snacks to be placed one after another after the banquet officially began. Yang Yuyao looked around and found no bone trays used to hold nut shells and bones. From this point of view, there should be no such demand for the dishes provided.

After the emperor of Cangran Kingdom simply said some congratulations, the banquet began. A maid came to each guest with a copper basin to wash their hands. After washing their hands, they brought tea for mouthwash.

For now, there are no special rules that need to be followed in this part. With He Qianqing's secret prompts, Yang Yuyao successfully completed these steps. After rinsing her mouth, the maid brought another pot of tea, two teacups, two small bowls and an exquisite plum blossom-shaped pastry. Looking at the color of the pastry, Yang Yuyao guessed that it must be a kind of mung bean cake.

At this time, Yang Yuyao quietly observed the other guests and saw that the others had basically started to use their chopsticks, so he took some tea and boiled the bowl and chopsticks, and then used magic to eliminate the tea before putting a piece of pastry into the bowl. When I tasted it, it was indeed a mung bean cake, and it seemed that some white kidney beans were added to make the cake come in two different colors.

This pastry is very well made, delicate and soft, melts in your mouth, and is small in size. It is about the same size as a plum blossom. It is not thick and can be eaten in one bite. This ensures that guests will not be full at once and unable to eat the snacks that follow. . Yang Yuyao slowly finished tasting a piece. But then, Yang Yuyao realized that the situation was a little strange.

Yang Yuyao's method of ironing tableware was a habit of eating out in his part of the world. He Qianqing had been with him for a long time, so it was not surprising that he had this habit unknowingly due to his influence, but the banquet What's going on with these people? Some of them had even eaten one or two pieces of snacks, and now they all started to iron their tableware in this way, exactly like what Yang Yuyao did.

If Cang Ran Country already had such a custom, why didn't they do it from the beginning? It happened after Yang Yuyao did this, or even after they had some snacks. But if they are deliberately imitating Yang Yuyao's approach... Yang Yuyao, because people in this world don't have this habit, so in order not to appear so unique, Yang Yuyao deliberately covered it with his sleeves to make it more concealed. Of course, because of what he said, Because of his sitting position, some people can still see his complete movements. But being able to see and imitate him means that these people are following him very seriously? But what’s the point of imitating him?

With this doubt, Yang Yuyao decided to test it. The method he used was to drink tea in his own way, this time without covering it up, just to see if these people were really observing him and imitating him.

So Yang Yuyao picked up the teacup closest to him, poured a small amount of tea into it, shook the teacup gently, and warmed the cup. Then he used magic to eliminate the tea again, and raised the teacup close to his nose. He stood up and smelled the aroma of the tea before pouring the tea again and sipping it in small sips.

"These people are really..." He Qianqing, who naturally noticed the actions of these people, said in a voice message to Yang Yuyao. He didn't understand what the dignitaries of the Cangran Kingdom were thinking about at the moment. He could observe that they were trying very hard to imitate the habits of their disciples, and he was very sure that no country in the world had such things. etiquette. And because the seemingly simple process of drinking tea is easy to make mistakes when imitating it, they, including the king of Cangran Kingdom, made a lot of jokes while imitating it in a hurry.

Among them, what made them most confused was drinking the part of the tea that should have been poured out. Some did not realize that the tea should not be drunk until it was in their mouths, and some even realized that they had swallowed it. Even if they realized that the tea should be thrown away, they had neither the magic to erase it nor an extra container to put it in, so they had to find a way to dump it as secretly as possible. If they bring followers, some of them will fall at their feet and be stepped on to hide the traces of water. Only the emperor chose to call the maid, bring him the copper basin he had used to wash his hands, and pour the tea into it.

Being so imitative made them confused and made a fool of themselves, but even so, they always looked at Yang Yuyao with reverence and yearning in their eyes, which was so pure that it didn't seem like it should appear in the eyes of these people.

"Master, do you know what's going on with these people?" After confirming that these people were really imitating him, Yang Yuyao felt even more panicked. This made him feel like he was left alone in the spotlight. The stage below was full of spectators watching his every move.

This realization made it difficult for him to breathe, and Yang Yuyao had to quickly chat with He Qianqing to divert his attention.

"I'm not very clear as a teacher." He Qianqing responded. He was also eager to know what these people were planning to do. The royal family of the Cangran Kingdom even had their own royal monk, but as far as He Qianqing knew, the one with the highest level was only at the Golden Core stage and had been in seclusion for many years, so this person did not appear at the banquet. But regardless of whether the royal monks he relied on were in seclusion or not, He Qianqing had never seen or heard of any country's kings and ministers imitating the monks invited to the banquet at a banquet of this size.

No matter how much they yearn for monks and the path to immortality, as the top group of mortals, they usually remain reserved and maintain their pride. Even if they want to imitate, they can only do it secretly without the monks around. But now, these people act like children clumsily imitating adults, without any hesitation.

"Then, Master, is there any way to leave early?" Yang Yuyao lowered his eyebrows, as if he was sipping the fragrance of the tea with all his heart, but the voice transmitted to He Qianqing was trembling. Thinking that he would continue to stay here for so long, Yang Yuyao wanted to leave with his sword immediately. Shrouded in such uneasiness, Yang Yuyao's usually good brain was blank at the moment and could not function at all.

"Master, think about it, don't panic, Master is here." He Qianqing quietly grabbed Yang Yuyao's hand that was placed on the case and comforted him.

When his hand is held by someone he trusts, it seems that courage will be transferred to his palm along with the body temperature. Even if He Qianqing didn't do more, Yang Yuyao's rapidly beating heartbeat could still gradually calm down, and his brain didn't seem to be malfunctioning. Can't even think about it. What makes Yang Yuyao even more happy is that as the dancers enter the stage to perform dances, he is finally no longer the one who attracts strong attention from everyone.

As the performances at the Flower Letter Festival dinner, they are all naturally themed around flowers, and almost all are dances. Yang Yuyao, who was singing and dancing at the same time, had watched six dances and still hadn’t seen it. There wasn't even a singing program. Just when Yang Yuyao was wondering why there was no singing performance, a gorgeously crafted sedan was carried by four men in gorgeous clothes and placed in the center. Then it was as moving as a nightingale. The singing came from the sedan, and there was a small commotion among the guests on the seats. Some people stretched their necks forward excitedly. According to what Yang Yuyao heard from the guests who were discussing quietly, this person who was singing in the sedan It seems to be Xia Bailing, a famous singer from Cangran Kingdom.

This was not the first time that Yang Yuyao had heard the name Xia Bailing. When they checked in, the enthusiastic shopkeeper of the inn where they were staying introduced the singer to them like a little fanboy. I strongly recommend that they go and listen to this woman's performance if they have the chance. According to the shopkeeper's description, the general meaning is that he walked around for three days without stopping. Today, luckily, they actually listened. I have to say, this melody is really catchy.

It's just... Yang Yuyao stared at the beautifully crafted sedan chair. The faint demonic aura overflowing from the sedan chair from time to time seemed to inform the singer of her extraordinary identity.

"Master, do you think this Xia Bailing is a bird demon?" Yang Yuyao asked via voice transmission.

"I'm not sure whether Xia Bailing was a teacher in the past, but at least this one here must be." He Qianqing raised his eyebrows, obviously curious about the reason why this monster clan had assumed the identity of a human clan and appeared here. After about finishing singing a small aria, a white hand stretched out from the sedan chair and opened the curtain, and a "woman" with an oval face and a head full of pearls came out. The sedan chair was facing the king of Cangran Kingdom who was sitting on the main seat. The singer must have been prepared for this.

The moment she stepped out of the sedan, Yang Yuyao noticed that the singer staggered. The sway was very small, but he still caught it. He even knew why the singer acted like this, because He Qianqing deliberately restrained his breath and pressure when he realized that the "person" in the sedan was special. It was not until the moment the curtain of the sedan was opened that he released his breath. freed. This demon clan probably only noticed that there was a monk at the banquet when he left the sedan chair, and his level was not low.

However, I have to say that this demon's professionalism as a singer is very good. Although she was frightened by He Qianqing, she quickly adjusted her state and could hardly see any flaws. Moreover, it seemed that this person was really invited to perform and sing here, and did not want to take advantage of the opportunity to do anything wrong.

"This demon's Taoist skills are very low. It's not even as good as Tushan who just met you and me. It should have just been able to transform." He Qianqing continued to communicate with Yang Yuyao.

"Could she use this identity to repay a favor?" Yang Yuyao guessed casually for no reason. However, neither of them specifically revealed Xia Bailing's true identity. Regardless of whether they themselves have enough credibility in the minds of these people for them to immediately believe their words, most of these demon clans who are mixed in the world of immortality do not dare to do evil too arrogantly. There is no need to push her to death when there is no evidence to prove that this monster has done anything unforgivable and evil.

At midnight, the banquet was finally over. Yang Yuyao, who had not been able to find a suitable reason to leave early, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of social occasion was really too uncomfortable for him. Not only do you have to pay careful attention to every gesture, but you also have to deal with people you don't know talking to you.

But until they flew into the night sky with their swords, Yang Yuyao still couldn't figure out why the emperor of the Cangran Kingdom invited them to this dinner. It couldn't just be to invite them to watch the performance, right? But if there was any other purpose... Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing carefully analyzed every word the emperor said to them, but they couldn't analyze any of them to have any meaning.

If it wasn't that the emperor was so thoughtful that they were tricked without leaving a trace, then it was that the emperor actually had some purpose, but for some reason, he changed his mind and gave up after meeting them. The original plan. However, they are not worried about being tricked. Without a clear signed contract or an oath, they cannot be restrained at all. As monks, as long as they want to leave, the Cangran Kingdom can't stop them with all its might.

"They didn't reveal that I was a demon..." In a carriage on the ground, a demon named Xia Bailing opened the curtain at the carriage window and quietly watched Yang Yuyao and the others go away. "That young master is so handsome!" The blush on her face didn't go away, but her expression turned cold instantly, "Brark, wait a moment, I will send them down to you one by one for those guys who killed you. apologize!"
