Lu Li could feel the murderous looks from many young masters. He felt the pressure was doubled. He forced a smile, walked over, cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Lady Shuang. It is my honor that you have heard of me."
"Ha, ha!"
Bai Xiashuang smiled mysteriously and said, "The reason I have heard of you is that you are on someone's blacklist …"
With that said, Bai Xiashuang walked directly towards the castle. The Young Masters burst into laughter. They no longer looked at Lu Li with jealousy or hatred. Instead, they were looking at him with ridicule.
Even though Bai Xiashuang didn't say who that person was, all the people she knew were big shots. How could Lu Li live a good life after he was on the blacklist of a big shot?
"Eh?"
Lu Li touched his nose. A glint of doubt appeared in his eyes. Was it because of Ming Yu?
Was he being targeted by some big shot of the Bai Family?
Ming Yu forced a Young Lady of the Bai Family to death. It was normal that some people of the Bai Family bore grudges against him.
Lu Li felt more confident when he thought about how Liu Yi and the others were treated coldly when they went to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce.
That being said, the Bai Family was the No.1 Family of the Thousand-island Lake. If they wanted to kill him, he would have died a long time ago. Big Families had their own rules. They wouldn't do anything rash.
The Xu Family walked forward with Bai Xiashuang. The others followed them. The plaza was crowded with people. They all came to witness the glory of the pearl of the Thousand-island Lake.
It was about time. They went directly to the main hall. Finally, Lu Li saw the Island Owner of the God-down Island, Xu Chen, the Family Patriarch of the Xu Family.
Xu Chen seemed to be in his forties. He was handsome and elegant. He came to the main hall in person for Bai Xiashuang, of course.
The God-down Island was a Fourth-rank Family, affiliated to the Bai Family. Bai Xiashuang was valued by the Old Man of Heaven Prison, so she could be regarded as half a master.
Even though Xu Chen was powerful, Bai Xiashuang could be considered his junior. He didn't have to come out to greet her, but he must show enough respect to the Old Man of Heaven Prison. Nobody would say anything if he came out to greet her.
Xu Chen was a good man. Bai Xiashuang was more polite. Her words and attitude were humble. She even brought gifts for Xu Chen. Xu Chen went into the main hall.
Not long after, Xu Yaoyang and Xu Fangfei came in with a group of guests.
When Xu Yaoyang saw Bai Xiashuang, he couldn't move his eyes away, and his breathing became rapid.
The following scene was very boring. The Island Lord surrounded Xu Chen and flattered him, a group of young masters surrounded Bai Xiashuang, and a group of young ladies surrounded Xu Yaoyang …
Lu Li was bored. He sat and drank by himself. The Island Owners of the Killers Island, the Devil Island and the Black Fox Island came over to toast and apologize. Xu Sihe came over several times as well.
Lu Li gave a toast to Xu Chen and then lowered his head to eat and drink by himself.
Bai Xiashuang was born in a big family. She must have seen this kind of situation many times, so she could handle it with ease.
She glanced over and noticed Lu Li was sitting in a low-key manner. She thought of something and suddenly said with a sweet smile, "Island Owner Lu, I propose a toast to you."
"Swish swish swish!"
Countless gazes swept over like knives, especially Xu Yaoyang, who even had the intention to kill.
Bai Xiashuang only toasted to Xu Chen today. Xu Yaoyang toasted to Bai Xiashuang several times and Bai Xiashuang only tasted. Now, she wanted to toast to Lu Li?
"Sh * t, this girl is setting me up …"
Lu Li cursed to himself. It was clear that Bai Xiashuang was up to no good. She could leave after the banquet, but Lu Li would have to bear the brunt of so many attacks in the open and in the dark. Those young masters would be jealous and would trouble him every day.
Lu Li was angry. He thought of something and made up his mind. He stood up and said, "How can I say no to a toast from Lady Shuang?
But there is a custom in my hometown. When young men and women toast to each other, they either don't drink at all or drink three toasts.
Lady Shuang is a heroine, the pearl of the Thousand-island Lake. She is powerful. Is it okay for you to drink three toasts? "
"…"
Many people rolled their eyes. Xu Yaoyang was even angrier. Lu Li was so ungrateful.
Who was Bai Xiashuang?
Who dared to force her to drink three toasts?
Young ladies of Big Families paid great attention to their appearances and manners. If she were drunk and lost her composure, it would be a disgrace to the Bai Family.
Lu Li ignored the looks. He stared at Bai Xiashuang with a provocative smile.
Bai Xiashuang set him up so he did the same to her. It was fair.
One could be strong without desire!
Lu Li was not interested in any pretty girls. He would not daydream about a swan falling for a toad like him. As far as he was concerned, Bai Xiashuang was no different from an average girl.
As for offending the Bai Family?
If the Bai Family would care about such a small thing, then the Bai Family wouldn't be the most powerful family of the Thousand-island Lake. Ming Yu forced a young lady of the Bai Family to commit suicide, but he was fine.
Bai Xiashuang's expressions changed. She was angry. Nobody had ever forced her to do something like this in her life.
This Island Owner of a Third-rank force was so insensible and narrow-minded.
Wasn't he afraid that she would be so angry that he could not survive at the Thousand-island Lake in the future?
"What?
You don't have the guts? "
Lu Li wouldn't let it go. He stared at Bai Xiashuang. Since she wanted to play, then he would play along.
Offend Bai Xiashuang?
If so, so be it. There were people in the Bai Family who hated her.
She didn't care about one more.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Bai Xiashuang proposed the toast first. How could she be scared now?
She clenched her teeth and said, "Let's drink. I am not afraid of you."
Lu Li grinned. He picked up his goblet and drank it up. Then he poured two goblets and drank them all at once. Finally, he looked at Bai Xiashuang with a smile.
Bai Xiashuang drank three goblets in a row under the watchful eyes of many. Her pretty face was blushing and her eyes were blurred.
She glared at Lu Li with hatred, excused herself to Xu Chen and left in a hurry.
Xu Chen didn't want to interfere in the quarrel between the younger generation. He waved his hand and asked Xu Yaoyang to send Bai Xiashuang to the Teleportation Formation.
After Xu Yaoyang sent Bai Xiashuang out, Xu Chen looked at Lu Li with a faint smile and said, "Lu Li, you have guts. You will suffer for offending Shuang Lass."
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li smiled casually and said, "If Young Lady Bai of the Bai Family doesn't have this much tolerance, then how can the Bai Family dominate the Thousand-island Lake?"
"Smart!"
Xu Chen and the others praised him secretly. Lu Li was the first to speak out in public.
If this were known to the Bai Family, the Bai Family would not target Lu Li openly. Otherwise, the forces of the Thousand-island Lake would think that the Bai Family was not tolerant.
…
Bai Xiashuang walked into the Teleportation Formation with a cold expression. She didn't say anything to Xu Yaoyang who was behind her. She glanced over to the warriors of the Xu Family who were guarding the Teleportation Formation and said coldly, "Activate the Teleportation Formation."
Xu Yaoyang waved his hand to let several warriors to activate the Teleportation Formation. Then he asked with concern, "Young Lady Bai, are you okay?
How about … I send you back? "
"I'm okay. No need."
Bai Xiashuang waved her hand. The Teleportation Formation glowed and she disappeared from the God-down City. After a while, a Teleportation Formation in the Heaven Prison City glowed and Bai Xiashuang appeared.
"Ew ~"
However, Bai Xiashuang was not in good condition. As soon as she arrived, she bent over and threw up. She threw up all the food she ate at the banquet. Her white dress was stained …
"Young Lady Shuang, are you okay?"
The one guarding the Teleportation Formation was a deacon of the Bai Family. He hurried over to help Bai Xiashuang. Many people nearby looked over.
Bai Xiashuang fought back the urge to throw up. She mobilized her Xuan Energy and rushed back to the Bai Family compound.
Since she was a kid, she had never drunk much. She had only tasted a little.
Today, she drank three goblets in a row. She couldn't force the alcohol out in public.
She spun around in the Teleportation Formation for a while and threw up.
Bai Xiashuang felt so ashamed that she could not show her face. After she rushed into the Bai Family compound, she shouted while clenching her teeth, "Lu Li, you are doomed!
The consequences of offending me … are serious! "
…
