294. Undercurrents(1/3)
In the clean and spacious room, the lights and candles swayed in a constant state.
Next to this candle, there were two strange metal pens. In addition to these two metal pens, there were a few messy white papers and a jade teapot. After losing the cooperation of the teapot, the jade teapot could only be placed next to the two metal pens alone, which made Huan Duluo Lan, who had just pushed the door in, subconsciously felt a strange feeling of pity.
Logically speaking, no one will have pity for an inanimate object.
But if it's intuition...
At this point, Lu Yuan thoughtfully stretched out his hand and pressed it on the lid of the pot, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then coughed quietly, looking at Huan Duluolan, who was standing at the door in a daze.
"how?"
"The little princess has something to come to me?"
The sudden sound of Lu Yuan obviously made Huandu Luolan come to her senses. After cursing herself secretly, Huandu Luolan grabbed the corner of her clothes in embarrassment, pursed her lips, and invited the human standing behind the table with a thick face.
certainly.
Don't get me wrong.
It was not an excessive invitation, it was just an invitation to Lu Yuan to attend the South Country dinner; and this was also one of Huan Du Qingtian’s insignificant plans.
In terms of emotion and reason, let Huandu Luolan invite Lu Yuan, the demon king, have no big shortcomings, but will bring considerable benefits to Huandu Luolan.
not to mention...
Even if there is no benefit, it should be fine to be familiar with one's face.
And at some critical moments, the qualifications of getting familiar with a demon king may become a kind of capital to save your life or negotiate.
In short, letting Huandu Luolan invite Lu Yuan instead of letting Huandu Qingtian invite him is truly to pave the way for his daughter in advance.
and...
If only one can get the title of a disciple, the humiliation and losses suffered by the Southern Kingdom this time will be completely non-existent!
As for why this sudden dinner was held...
There are many excuses!
Huandu Qingtian can give a full explanation by finding any one, for example: introduce Lu Yuan’s identity to relieve the suffocation of many demon kings, warmly welcome the human friends who came from afar, and inform these demon king-level subordinates of the general content of the signing of the agreement...
In short, it is still time to edit it now.
Lu Yuan did not think of this.
After all, he doesn't know how to read minds, so even if he guessed what little calculation Huan Du Qingtian was trying to do, he wouldn't say it straightforwardly or refuse it.
but...
“I’m really not very good at socializing.”
While being modest, Lu Yuan followed Huandu Luolan with Yue Tixia. His good eyesight ensured that he could see clearly and stand with the depressed defeated men outside the hall gate.
to be honest.
Lu Yuan knew very well that Huandu Qingtian would never allow him to apologize to these defeated generals. Even if he did beat these defeated generals miserably, no matter how miserable it was, a demon king could not bear the apology of a demon king.
Therefore, when this possibility is eliminated, the only remaining possibility is naturally to think that it is better to resolve enemies than to make a fortune, and to say harmony.
pity.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was not in the mood to listen to these nonsense, nor was in the mood to deal with these necessary social engagements. Even though he knew very well that the consequences of being rude would reduce his impression score, as long as he thought he had no impression score, even if he was rude, no idiot would dare to use impression scores to provoke him.
certainly.
The necessary impression points still need to be retained. For example, for Yue Tixia beside you, Lu Yuan felt it was necessary to maintain his own image.
At least it is necessary to give a reminder in advance.
No one will like a rude person, but everyone has a certain ability to understand and tolerate the other person's shortcomings within a certain limit.
And some shortcomings...
It needs to be informed.
If you hold it in, it will only cause greater misunderstandings and even disgust.
In contrast, Lu Yuanshen agreed.
However, he did not notice that when he looked ahead and explained this to Yue Tixia, a hint of relief flashed in Yue Tixia's eyes.
perhaps...
Falling in love with a demon king is a great pressure!
And fall in love with a perfect demon king...
I'm afraid it's not just pressure!
The distance is very short.
But it's also very long.
If it were in his previous life, Lu Yuan would probably make him panting, but for him who has already entered the extraordinary position, the journey is not long.
therefore.
After a moment, Huandu Luolan brought Lu Yuan and others to the front of the palace gate.
From the eyes of many doubts, worries, and even hatred, Lu Yuan sat in the guest seat with Yue Tixia as usual.
The main seat is naturally full of joy.
Lu Yuan had no objection to this.
In terms of love, even if the person who has a higher position or power to tear apart his boss's face in front of a group of subordinates, he will undoubtedly have a mortal hatred with this boss who has been tear apart.
This is different from the previous battle.
During the battle, these demon kings of the South were not present.
The only white-haired man was knocked unconscious by him in front of the panda.
Therefore, there is no loss of majesty.
In theory, guests follow the guests and not overshadow the guests are the basic rules that a guest should abide by, let alone... he doesn't even hit someone with a smile on his face!
so...
"You'd better be at peace..."
No one can hear the cold voice.
Because, this sound is not only a sound transmission, but also through a whole layer of space barrier, and finally comes into this small jade teapot!
Lu Yuan's face still had a gentle smile, and there was not even a cold look in his eyes. He just held a small jade teapot and kept rubbing it.
Huandu Qingtian naturally noticed Lu Yuan's slightly strange behavior, but considering that everyone has different characteristics, Huandu Qingtian regarded this behavior as Lu Yuan's personal hobby.
after all...
Who doesn’t have a hobby to play with?!
At most, this thing that is being played with is different.
Some like walnuts...
Some like gold, silver and jade...
Some like crafts...
Some like young and beautiful girls... figures...
In short, there is nothing to do with playing with, so there is no need to make a fuss.
Little do you know...
Inside this teapot, there was a black fox struggling with resentment. Not only that, after being banned for ten years but not seeing hope, the black fox became a stupid fox that could only curse.
Then...
He was tied up again and again by Lu Yuan, conducted some cruel experiments, and was forced to become the first "traitor" in the history of the Black Fox race.
What's the use of being in Cao's camp and being in Han?
If one day Lu Yuan was forced to eat melons to quench his thirst, it would be meaningless whether the melon was sour or not.
Anyway...
"You can't resist either!"
Looking at the black illusory fox shadow that suddenly became quiet and like a walking corpse, Lu Yuan's eyes flashed slightly for a moment, saying nothing, but the flash of sneer seemed to prove that he had seen through what trick the black fox was playing!
As for how to deal with this trick next...
Calmly pulling out a piece of meat from the dishes that are made of meat and vegetables and putting it into his mouth. Ignoring Yue Tixia's expression of trying hard to hold back her smile, Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and put down the chopsticks, sighed faintly in his heart with some thoughts:
"It depends on the attitude of the third young master..."
Um.
Carnivores are often so aggressive and powerful.
only...
This time the guesswork was undoubtedly positive.
To be continued...
