True rich and powerful families were all nobles. Their children were particular about elegance, decency, and elegance.
Therefore, they would instinctively resist vulgar and despicable things, even though … they would sometimes do things that were even more despicable and shameless than those hoodlums in the marketplace.
But on the surface, they were all immaculately dressed, refined, and refined.
Even if they openly quarreled at the banquet, both sides would restrain themselves.
At most, they would slap the table and challenge him to a duel.
They would not curse each other like shrews, nor would they be as vulgar as Lu Li.
The anger in Ji Mengtian's eyes was hard to hide. Die Feiyu's face was as red as blood. She turned her head to one side and looked regretful. She hated herself for asking so many questions.
Ye Luo was speechless. If it were Lu Li who revealed his identity, nobody would dare to say anything. Instead, some young ladies would flirt with Lu Li in a shy manner.
However, with Lu Li's current identity, it was not appropriate to say such things. It would make a group of young ladies feel like they were being profaned by a scoundrel …
Ye Luo couldn't say anything, but Ye Rong was furious.
Today, he was the host. Someone was spouting nonsense and offending a group of noble young ladies. As the host, it would be rude of him not to step in.
He was about to stand up and scold Lu Li and ask someone to drag him out.
There were people who reacted faster than him. After all, how could some young masters let go of such a good opportunity to flatter and show off?
"Impudent!"
A young master from a sixth-rank family stood up first. He glared at Lu Li and shouted, "Lady Mengtian, Lady Feiyu and Lady Yu are here. How dare you talk dirty?
Don't tell me that your Gu family has no upbringing?
If no one teaches you, Liu Fu doesn't mind teaching you how to behave. "
The one who called himself Liu Fu was 25 or 26 years old and at the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm. He was arrogant and provocative.
Clearly, Lu Li was only at the peak of the Eternal Realm and he was trying to gain the limelight by overpowering Lu Li.
Lu Li didn't want to fight, nor did he want to quarrel with this man. He just wanted to dispel Die Feiyu's suspicions. He would not pay attention to a nobody like him.
Thus, he glanced at Liu Fu indifferently and did not say anything. With a cold laugh, he sat down and leisurely drank his wine.
The situation was a little awkward. Liu Fu punched the air and was so depressed that he vomited blood.
He had thought that Lu Li was a reckless man who would scold him or even fight him out of impulse.
He could show off in front of Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu. However, Lu Li didn't pay any attention to him.
He pounded on the table, pointed to Lu Li and said, "Gu Fengliu, do you have the guts to fight me?
We won't rest until one of us dies! "
"Huff …"
Lu Li glanced over as if he was looking at an idiot.
Liu Fu came to his senses. His realm was much lower than Lu Li's. A duel would be beneath him. It would be like an adult bullying a child.
An awkward expression appeared on his face, but he reacted quickly and said, "Your realm is a bit lower, so I'll let you have three moves first. I'll stand still and let you hit me. How about it?"
This time, no one uttered a "sigh". They stayed where they were and let Lu Li attack them three times. Lu Li was at an advantage, but Liu Fu was ready to risk it all.
Many people were looking at Lu Li to see if he would accept the challenge.
It was normal for young masters and young ladies to fight because of jealousy at banquets. Since there was a free show, it would be a waste for them to miss it.
Ye Luo knew that Lu Li didn't want to reveal his identity so he couldn't fight. Ye Luo cleared his throat and said, "I think … I don't think so. After all, this is the City of Buddha."
This was the territory of the Great Buddhist Temple. Nobody from the Great Buddhist Temple was here today. Violence was forbidden in the city.
Therefore, Ye Luo's words were reasonable. Nobody could tell that he was helping Lu Li secretly.
Ye Rong wished he could chop Lu Li into pieces and feed him to dogs. However, Ye Luo was the future Family Patriarch. Ye Rong couldn't say much.
Many young masters and young ladies present were disappointed. They had wanted to see how Liu Fu would beat Lu Li up so that he could vent his anger.
Now that Ye Luo had said so, they were too embarrassed to say anything.
"It's okay …"
Right at that moment, Ji Mengtian suddenly said. She had recovered and said with a smile, "I am here. The Great Buddhist Temple will show me some respect.
As long as no lives are lost, they will not interfere.
But … do you have the guts to accept the challenge? "
"Eh?"
Ye Luo's expressions grew colder. Now that Ji Mengtian had taken the lead, it would be inappropriate for him to do it again. Otherwise, Ji Mengtian would be able to figure out Lu Li's identity.
Everyone became lively. Liu Fu was glowing, high-spirited and arrogant. He squinted at Lu Li, almost cursing and provoking him.
Lu Li drank his wine without showing any emotion. His mind was spinning fast.
Was Ji Mengtian trying to get back at him for profaning them with vulgar words?
Or did she have doubts and wanted to find out his identity through his actions?
Now that he was pushed to the edge, he could either admit defeat and let bygones be bygones or make a move!
Lu Li didn't mind if he made a move. He could kill a warrior at the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm easily.
But Ji Mengtian could see through him easily. What was more, he was using the Shrink Skill. If he used too powerful a skill, he might be exposed.
Seeing that Lu Li was silent, Ji Mengtian said again, "What?
Young Master Gu, are you scared?
If you are, then bow and apologize to Young Master Liu Fu and we will let this go. "
Ji Mengtian's further provocation made Lu Li angry. He stood up, grinned at Ji Mengtian and said, "Of course I am.
But it is boring to fight with Young Master Liu. I won't get anything out of it even if I win. "
"Swish …"
Many people sneered. Lu Li didn't have the guts to fight. How could he make it sound so dignified?
Before Liu Fu could say anything, Ji Mengtian said with a sweet smile, "Young Master Gu, you want to add some excitement?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li put on a cocky face. He looked at Ji Mengtian lecherously and said, "If I win, how about you give me a kiss to encourage me?"
"How dare you!"
Several young masters pounded the table and stood up. Even Ye Rong stood up. Who was Lu Li now?
Was he out of his mind?
Was he not afraid that the Gu Family would be destroyed?
Many young masters here could turn the Gu Family into ashes if they gave the order.
"Ha, ha, ha, I am just kidding. Why are you so nervous?"
Lu Li knew he had gone overboard. He grinned and said, "If I win, how about you, Lady Mengtian, propose a toast to me later?"
Ji Mengtian remained calm. She smiled and said, "If you can win, I will propose three toasts to you."
Ji Mengtian's interest was piqued. How could a young master of a fifth rank family talk to her like this?
He even insulted her in public. If he was not a lunatic, then he must have something up his sleeve. Or … his identity was fake.
She used psychic power to check Lu Li but didn't see anything wrong.
Lu Li's soul was protected by some kind of energy. She couldn't probe at will.
