Huh? Is it so easy to increase the male lead's favorability?

Chapter 190 There is a banquet tonight

“Master Yun is certainly quiet, but necessary communication is no problem.”

Xia Zhilan coughed lightly and explained.

The man didn't say anything after hearing this, but nodded. He actually patted Ji Yunmiao's shoulder in appreciation and laughed: "If the Wudang Immortal knew about this, he would surely be happy."

"Well," he said, turning back and thinking for a moment before continuing to Xia Zhilan, "Tonight, just tonight, let's all get together."

"You kid, it's been a long time since you had dinner with the Xia family, right?"

As he spoke, he sat back in the first seat and asked cheerfully.

In order to save resources to buy materials for cultivation, ordinary cultivators would fast early on, but aristocratic families like the Xia family would not care about this expense.

Not only do they not care, but they also choose the best raw materials and grow them with the help of spiritual power.

Such ingredients taste good and do not contain any impurities that would hinder cultivation.

The Xia family holds a grand ceremony within the clan every three days, not for any reason, but just to highlight their uniqueness as a traditional aristocratic family.

"Yes." Xia Zhilan nodded in acknowledgment. "The auction house is very busy, so we haven't had time to get together for a long time."

What a lot of red tape, he thought.

……

Before the sun was directly overhead, Ji Yunmiao followed Xia Zhilan back.

Xia Zhilan nodded tactfully, sent Ji Yunmiao in, then stepped out and closed the door.

"It doesn't seem like he has any bad intentions."

Ji Yunmiao hurried over to sit next to Wen Jin before speaking. He thought for a moment and made what he thought was a fairly appropriate analogy: "He looks more respectable than Xia Zhilan."

"Straightforward."

"--Not very clever," he added at last.

Wen Jin was obviously choked by these words, and was quite surprised by Ji Yunmiao's evaluation. Then he became quite curious about the leader who split from Kongtong Valley: What kind of person could make Ah Miao come to such an evaluation?

For safety reasons, Ji Yunmiao did not use the shadow transmission talisman when he went out this time, so everyone present looked a little confused.

"Tonight, the Xia family, the Auction House, Wudang Immortal Mountain, and the separatist factions of Kongtong Valley will hold a banquet together."

Ji Yunmiao continued speaking, and before anyone could ask, he said:

“By then, Xia Zhilan will arrange for us to be among the participants in the auction pavilion.”

"Oh?" Wen Jin raised his eyebrows. In that case, wouldn't he be able to meet the leader tonight?

only……

She seemed to have thought of something, and her brows, which had been relaxed just now, frowned slightly, but she saw Ji Yunmiao nodded to her.

Without saying anything more, she and he were thinking the same thing again.

"I'm going to refine some new rejuvenating pills to use tonight. As for these things, Ajin, you guys take care of the preparations." He said seriously, glancing sideways, stuffed something in his hand into Wen Jin's hand, and then stood up.

what?

No one noticed this little action, but Wen Jin subconsciously glanced at it.

It was a hairpin, soft to the touch, and exactly the style that was popular in the city. With her appreciation for beautiful things, she took a few more glances at it on the way to the mansion, but she didn't expect that he would notice her and still take the time to buy it for her.

The slightly tense mood suddenly eased a little.

Only the male protagonist can remember these things at this time and do both.

Wen Jin raised his eyes, exhaled almost imperceptibly, and put the hairpin into the bracelet.

"Ajin...?" Lu Qingzhi watched Ji Yunmiao stand up and walk away: "Isn't this a bit wrong?"

Yang Zheng nodded upon hearing this: "I think so too. This happened too quickly and smoothly."

She frowned, unable to think of any reason for a moment.

"Unless..." Lu Qingzhi straightened up and looked at Wen Jin.

"It's unlikely that a banquet can be held on the same day for the new members, unless tonight's banquet already exists and preparations have been made long ago." Wen Jin continued Lu Qingzhi's words: "A banquet for such a large family would never be held in just one day."

"Why is that?" She asked this question, her eyes moving back and forth between Lu Qingzhi and Yang Zheng.

"Why else would they hold a banquet now?" Yang Zheng's thoughts were stuck for a moment.

"Celebrate?" Lu Qingzhi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then uttered two words uncertainly.

Wen Jin nodded: "I think so too."

"The recent actions of Wudang Immortal Mountain towards Kongtong Valley seem too small. They must have been preparing some big plan. Yesterday, the Xia family and Wudang Immortal Mountain asked Boss Xia again whether he would cooperate. Now it seems like an ultimatum."

She laid out all the possibilities she had just thought of.

Yang Zheng finally caught on to the idea at this moment: "So tonight's celebration banquet is most likely prepared for taking over the auction house?"

"Luckily, Xia Zhilan went to look for those people this morning." Lu Qingzhi's palms couldn't help but sweat as she thought of this. "It was just a little bit off."

"This banquet isn't hosted by someone else; it's actually for the auction house." Wen Jin snorted coldly, "I hope they behave themselves tonight and don't cause any untoward incidents."

"I hope it's what we think." Lu Qingzhi clenched her fists.
