Chapter 364: Repeated Changes

Chapter 364 Repeated Changes

There was unconcealed dissatisfaction in his voice.

Shi Yu’s brows clouded over with anger.

The atmosphere suddenly turned oppressive.

Song Chonghe not only criticized Shi Yu for his poor arrangement, but also mocked Lin Xun for not being qualified to be seated in the upper seats.

“It’s just a damn seat! Why do you have to argue over it?” Ning Meng snapped, his face darkening.

“Damn seat? Hahahaha…” Song Chonghe burst out in cold laughter.

Many people’s expressions altered subtly.

Sensing the atmosphere suddenly turn tense, Lin Xun said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. I can sit anywhere. There’s no need to argue over it.”

As he was speaking, he sat down in a random seat.

Shi Yu stared at Lin Xun for a moment but seeing that he indeed didn’t seem to mind, he nodded. “Fine, then we’ll leave it at that.”

Just as Ning Meng was about to say something, Shi Yu interrupted, “Ning Meng, you should also sit down. Today is a gathering between friends! Don’t spoil the atmosphere.”

Ning Meng grunted, “Fine.”

He sat himself next to Lin Xun and sent a voice transmission over, “I will look for a chance to teach Song Chonghe a lesson for you. Who does he think he is to criticize my brother?”

Lin Xun replied with a smile, “Don’t be so angry. Such situations are inevitable. You don’t need to mind too much.”

Ning Meng frowned and said suspiciously, “This is not like your usual style.”

“Shi Yu is the one hosting the banquet. No matter what, we should have some tolerance,” said Lin Xun, expressionless.

Ning Meng grumbled, “Fine.”

Their conversation was done through voice transmission to avoid being overheard by other people.

Seeing that Lin Xun and Ning Meng didn’t say anything else, everyone knew that the storm had subsided.

However, the atmosphere remained still and tense, so someone couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Third Young Master Shi, I wonder which guest hasn’t arrived yet?”

Shi Yu returned to the main seat, saying, “It’s just Bai Lingxi, Zhao Yin and Li Duxing.”

He continued after a pause, “But Bai Lingxi likes to be alone and always comes and goes as she wants, so I don’t think she would come.”

“As for Zhao Yin, if Bai Lingxi doesn’t come, he most likely won’t appear either.”

Many people looked a little disappointed. Bai Lingxi was much admired and respected as she was the eldest granddaughter of Marquis Jinghai and had achieved third place in the recent national examination. It was understandable that such a maiden blessed by heaven wasn’t easy to meet.

Zhao Yin was just as extraordinary. He wasn’t only from the imperial family, but he also possessed the amazing innate talent Violet Sun Body. Just like Bai Lingxi, it wasn’t easy to see him.

Li Duxing was more special.

His background was very mysterious, but his talent was extremely outstanding. He always kept to himself and liked to be alone. In the recent national examination, he astonished the world with his sword skills and achieved fifth place. It was just a pity that he kept a very low profile. He was like a mysterious dragon and not many people could see him in person under normal circumstances.

“Third Young Master Shi, I only attended the banquet because of Miss Bai Lingxi, but you said that she might not come. Are you kidding me?”

Song Chonghe’s face darkened, and he slammed the table.

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned tense again.

Song Chonghe acted like he was better than everyone else, and his arrogance made all the guests furrow their brows.

However, Shi Yu responded with a smile, “Young Master Chonghe, calm down. I only said that Bai Lingxi might come to the banquet. I didn’t say that she would definitely appear.”

“So you lied to me?” Song Chonghe uttered coldly.

What was arrogance?

This was. The guests were all young descendants of wealthy and powerful families. In normal conditions, no one would do something out of the ordinary.

However, Song Chonghe did whatever he wanted and didn’t care about anyone.

It was understandable as he was a descendant of one of the seven high clans.

But…

But Shi Yu was the one who organized the banquet and Song Chonghe had acted disrespectfully to him.

The room fell still and silent.

Even Shi Yu seemed to be at a loss on how to deal with the situation. He didn’t think that Song Chonghe would be so overbearing.

“Is…”

Just as Shi Yu was pondering over what to do, a pleasant but cold voice sounded outside the hall, “Is this the Ninth Heaven Pavilion?”

To everyone’s astonishment, a transcendently beautiful maiden was standing outside the hall.

Her pure white dress perfectly highlighted her slender figure and her flowing jet-black hair draping over her shoulders. Her eyes glimmered like stars, and she resembled a fairy walking out of a painting.

Bai Lingxi!

Instantly, everyone fell into a trance-like state, mesmerized by her beauty. The maiden wasn’t only stunning but also radiated an indescribably ethereal aura like a fairy descending upon the world.

Most importantly, no one expected Bai Lingxi to actually come! After all, she was the eldest granddaughter of Marquis Jinghai. Additionally, she had achieved third place in the recent national examination, second only to Chi Zangfeng and Song Yi. She was deservedly called the maiden blessed by the heavens.

Even Shi Yu didn’t think that Bai Lingxi would attend his banquet. Although Shi Yu had sent her an invitation, deep down, he wasn’t sure she would come. The reason was that her identity was too transcendent.

“Lingxi, you came!”

Song Chonghe sprang up and stared at Bai Lingxi with a blazing gaze. “I heard that you were going to attend the banquet so I came early and waited for…”

No one could tell whether it was intentional or not, but Bai Lingxi said aloud, “I came to attend the gathering of Blood Kill Camp students. I didn’t know that outsiders would be present.”

Her one sentence shut Song Chonghe up and made his expression freeze.

“Lingxi is right. This banquet is indeed full of friends and is indeed an eye-opener. I’m very honored to be able to attend.” Song Chonghe laughed enthusiastically.

Many people couldn’t help but admire him. He’s not only arrogant but also very thick-skinned.

Bai Lingxi wrinkled her beautiful brows.

Shi Yu got up, chuckling, “Miss Bai, please take a seat.” He guided Bai Lingxi to one of the main seats.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lingxi glanced around and said, “You don’t need to be so polite. I’ll just sit anywhere.”

As she was speaking, her figure fluttered, and she sat down next to Lin Xun.

Everyone was stunned into silence.

Given Bai Lingxi’s identity, she could sit in the main seats, but she declined the offer and chose to sit in a remote corner.

Most shockingly, she sat beside Lin Xun.

Many people furtively glanced at Song Chonghe, and as they expected, they saw his brows quickly clouding over with anger. Previously, Song Chonghe had mocked Lin Xun and stated that he didn’t deserve to sit in the upper seats. However, seconds after that, Bai Lingxi, whom he had longed to see, suddenly appeared and completely disregarded him and sat down next to Lin Xun.

Many people couldn’t help laughing to themselves. Who knew the situation would develop like this?

Even Lin Xun was a little taken aback. He glanced at Bai Lingxi, as though figuring whether her decision was intentional.

But if she did it on purpose, why did she do it?

He couldn’t understand the reason.

After thinking about it over and over again, Lin Xun could only conclude that Bai Lingxi didn’t like the so-called main seats.

Song Chonghe maintained a calm and indifferent expression as he returned to his seat, but he couldn’t help but shoot a malicious glare at Lin Xun as he passed him. It was as though he blamed Lin Xun for what happened.

Lin Xun ignored him and continued to chat with Ning Meng.

Lin Xuefeng was also assigned a seat behind Lin Xun.

As a bystander, he sensed the atmosphere changing again, and his heart started to pound with fear. These occasions are terrifying.

If he was in Lin Xun’s place, he wouldn’t be able to act so calmly.

He was most bewildered by Bai Lingxi’s decision. She is an incredibly well-respected figure, so why…why did she choose to sit next to my cousin Lin Xun?

Not only Lin Xuefeng, but almost everyone else was also puzzled over the same thing. The banquet was no longer as lively as before.

Bai Lingxi’s appearance was too sudden and caught everyone by surprise.

It was then that a burst of loud laughter soon broke the silence. Another person had come! A young man clad in a bright yellow robe strode into the hall.

“Haha, sorry to keep you all waiting.”

He gave everyone a cupped fist salute.

It was Zhao Yin! As everyone expected, Zhao Yin would always follow Bai Lingxi like a knight.

“No problem! The banquet hasn’t started. Please take a seat” Shi Yu got up to welcome him.

However, Zhao Yin swept a glance around the hall and said with a smile, “You’re too polite. I can sit wherever.”

As he was speaking, he plopped down next to Bai Lingxi.

Everyone’s expression turned strange again.

Song Chonghe had announced that the sole reason he attended the banquet was for Bai Lingxi. Who would have thought that Bai Lingxi would completely disregard him and sit directly next to Lin Xun?

And now, Zhao Yin suddenly came and sat down next to Bai Lingxi, declining Shi Yu’s seating arrangement.

What an unexpected situation!

Song Chonghe’s expression darkened even more!
