The door of the banquet hall slowly opened.
A young man walked in from the outside.
He was about twenty-seven or eight years old, with a tall figure, short hair, and handsome features as if carved by a knife. His dark and deep eyes were like an eagle in the night, cold and proud, solitary and clear, yet overbearing.
The most eye-catching thing was a black gold ring worn on the young man’s right little finger. Under the light, it shone brightly, making him look even more noble and extraordinary.
“So handsome!”
The women on the scene were all dumbfounded.
And the men present, when they saw this young man, an inferiority complex unconsciously emerged in their hearts.
If the young man was a star in the sky, then they could only be regarded as fireflies on the ground.
Ye Qiu had already guessed the identity of the young man.
”Is he Xiao Qingdi?”
Ye Qiu was seeing such a good-looking man for the first time. He was a little jealous in his heart and secretly cursed, ‘With such good looks, his dick must be small.’
Then, his eyes fell on the old man in the gray robe behind the young man.
The old man was over sixty years old, thin and small, wearing a gray robe. His small eyes were like those of a poisonous snake, cold and chilly. Being looked at by him, there was a feeling of being targeted by a wolf.
Ye Qiu’s heart tightened. This old man is not simple!
Just then, a voice came from beside him:
”Who is this man?”
”Why have we never seen him before?”
”Since he is Young Master Feng’s friend, he must have a great background.”
”Young Master Feng, quickly introduce your friend to us!” Someone couldn’t wait to know the origin of the young man.
Feng Youling smiled slightly and said, “I can only tell everyone that my friend is from the capital and his surname is Xiao.”
Surname Xiao? And from the capital?
Could it be…
Just when everyone was shocked, Feng Youling quickly walked up to Xiao Qingdi, made an inviting gesture, and said respectfully, “Young Master Xiao, please!”
”Hmm.” Xiao Qingdi nodded slightly and walked arrogantly to the middle of the stage.
That old man in the gray robe always followed behind him, maintaining a distance of one step.
Standing on the stage, Xiao Qingdi’s sharp eyes gave people a strong sense of oppression.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said:
“Hello everyone, I am Xiao Qingdi!”
“Most of the people present should not have heard my name before. It doesn’t matter. I think you must know the name of my elder brother.”
“My elder brother is the God of War in the North, Champion Marquis Xiao Jiu!”
Hiss!
The whole audience gasped in surprise.
“My God, he is actually the younger brother of the Champion Marquis. No wonder he is so handsome!”
“He is handsome and has a powerful background. Such a man is hard to come by!”
“I must have a few drinks with Young Master Xiao later. As long as I get his favor, I will become a phoenix on the branch!”
Hearing the whispers in his ears, Ye Qiu curled his lips. Become a phoenix on the branch? What do you think you are? A pheasant?
Well, Ye Qiu admitted that he was jealous.
Xiao Qingdi was handsome and had a powerful background. He was completely a child of heaven.
For a man like this, it was normal to be sought after by women.
Besides envy, Ye Qiu was also sighing about the unfairness of fate. People like Xiao Qingdi were at the peak of their lives when they were born. They didn’t have to do anything, but they didn’t lack anything. However, most of us were born in ordinary civilian families. We struggled all our lives, and even the struggles of several generations could not reach the height that Xiao Qingdi was born at. It can be seen that being born is really a technical job.
“I’m new to Jiangzhou. I hope everyone will take care of me a lot.”
Standing on the stage, Xiao Qingdi said with extraordinary momentum, “I like Jiangzhou very much, not only because this city is very beautiful, but also because there is someone I like here.”
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was curious.
”What, the person he likes is in Jiangzhou?”
”Who is it?”
Ye Qiu glanced at Bai Bing and saw that Bai Bing lowered her head and her expression was a little unnatural.
Xiao Qingdi didn’t tell everyone who the person he liked was, but changed the subject and said, “First of all, I want to thank Youling for holding this welcome dinner for me.”
”Secondly, I want to thank everyone for coming to support me. It’s a great honor.”
”Finally, I also want to take this opportunity to do a big thing.”
Big thing?
What could be the big thing?
Everyone pricked up their ears and looked at Xiao Qingdi curiously.
Ye Qiu vaguely felt that the big thing that Xiao Qingdi was going to do was mostly related to Bai Bing.
Sure enough, Xiao Qingdi swept the whole audience, and finally, his eyes fell on Bai Bing.
His eyes were as tender as water.
Instantly, everyone’s eyes followed Xiao Qingdi’s gaze and shifted to Bai Bing.
”So the person Mr. Xiao likes is her!”
”It seems that Mr. Xiao came for her!”
”The two of them are a perfect match!”
Whispers arose all around.
At this time, Qian Yanru’s gaze also swept over. First, she was shocked by Bai Bing’s appearance, and then, she saw Ye Qiu.
It is said that when enemies meet, their eyes turn red with hatred. Qian Yanru’s eyes instantly turned red.
“Emperor Qing, I found the person who bullied me. He is sitting there.”
Looking in the direction pointed by Qian Yanru, Xiao Qingdi slightly frowned because the person Qian Yanru pointed at was sitting with Bai Bing.
“Emperor Qing, help me kill him.” Qian Yanru said angrily.
“Sister Yanru, let’s talk about this later. I have a very important thing to do today.” Xiao Qingdi said.
“I don’t care! You help me kill him quickly! I…”
Before Qian Yanru could finish her words, Xiao Qingdi’s cold gaze swept over. In an instant, Qian Yanru felt cold all over.
“Sister Yanru, I said that I have a very important thing to do today. I hope you can be reasonable. If anyone dares to ruin my good deed, then I will definitely make him pay the price.” Xiao Qingdi then added: “No matter who this person is!”
Suddenly, Qian Yanru was so scared that her face turned pale.
Although she was the eldest daughter of the Qian family, in front of Xiao Qingdi, she didn’t have any sense of superiority.
Because Xiao Qingdi’s older brother, Xiao Jiu, was the famous Champion Marquis in the world, commanding millions of troops and having great power and influence. Compared with the power of the Qian family, it was only stronger and not weaker.
The most crucial thing was that Xiao Jiu was only in his thirties and was in the prime of his life. No one knew what height he would reach in the future.
Not to mention the Qian family, even the top families in the capital are not willing to offend Xiao Jiu.
Moreover, Qian Yanru knows the character of Xiao Qingdi. Relying on his elder brother being the Champion Marquis, Xiao Qingdi does whatever he wants. None of those who have offended him have ended well.
Qian Yanru barely squeezed out a smile on her face and apologized, “Qingdi, I’m sorry. It’s because your sister was too impatient! You go ahead and do your business first. After you’re done, help me deal with that kid.”
”Mm.”
Xiao Qingdi gave a faint hmm and stepped off the stage. He ignored everyone around him and walked towards Bai Bing affectionately.
At this moment, there was only Bai Bing in his eyes!
Then, in full view of everyone, Xiao Qingdi knelt down on one knee, took out a diamond ring from his pocket, and handed it to Bai Bing, saying:
”Will you marry me?”
