As the wine gla.s.s fell to the ground with a bang, it was extremely ear-piercing. Although the gla.s.s was made of bronze and was not broken, the sound was very clear at the banquet making everyone stop in silence.
Everyone looked over in surprise, awaiting the response. A cultivator with sharp eyes saw that Gu Changge’s sleeves were a little wet, and some wine was still dripping from his fair and slender palms.
This scene made their faces change drastically. They dare not breathe or say anything more. How could the wine gla.s.s fall to the ground suddenly? This made many people start to think about it.
As the host of this banquet, Gu Changge invited many young masters here for the Ji family, but at such a juncture, Ji Chu Yue went up to toast and even knocked over the wine. This could even be said to be disrespectful.
“Chu Yue…” Jiang Chen had been quietly paying attention to Ji Chu Yue’s expression and behavior, so he couldn’t help feeling worried. But he didn’t expect Ji Chu Yue to knock over the wine gla.s.s on purpose.
In his opinion, Ji Chu Yue should have done this on purpose to express her dissatisfaction.
“Please forgive me, Young Master Changge, Chu Yue probably didn’t do it on purpose.” Ji Yaoxing’s face also changed dramatically, the smile froze on his face, and he hurriedly apologized.
He didn’t expect this scene to happen suddenly, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. He was even very worried that he thought Ji Chu Yue had sincerely done this on purpose because of what he said before.
In this way, a good thing was made worse. If someone with a heart took advantage of this to make trouble, saying that the Ji family was disrespectful to Gu Changge, it would be like adding insult to injury to the Ji family who was at the critical juncture of rescuing their Ancestor. All the efforts they had made before would also be in vain.
“Chu Yue, hurry up and apologize to Young Master Changge.” Ji Yaoxing quickly turned pale and said to Ji Chu Yue who seemed to be frightened.
It was too late for him to blame her.
“Please forgive me, Young Master Changge, I really didn’t do it on purpose…” Ji Chu Yue finally reacted. Her head was still buzzing, and she was also quite frightened and apologized in a trembling voice, clearly very panicked.
She also didn’t know why she suddenly withdrew her hand just now, which caused the wine gla.s.s to be unsteady. But no matter what, it was wrong and disrespectful for her to knock down the wine gla.s.s and even spill the wine on Gu Changge’s palm.
In the vast Upper Realm, who would dare to disrespect Gu Changge?
Seeing the restrained smile on Gu Changge’s face, Ji Chu Yue’s face turned even paler. After all, she was just a girl who had not experienced much trouble. Although she was the little princess of the Ji family, she could talk about Gu Changge with her brother Ji Yaoxing in secret. But when she really stood in front of someone like Gu Changge who stood at the peak of the forces in the Upper Realm, she realized how nervous and fearful he was.
“Miss Chu Yue, are you so afraid of me? You can’t even hold a wine gla.s.s?” When Ji Chu Yue was about to be unable to hold on anymore, her face turned pale, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and her legs were a little weak, Gu Changge finally spoke.
With a flat face, he shook his head lightly and replied. His voice was as easy-going and natural as ever, and he didn’t sound like he meant to blame. But Ji Chu Yue and Ji Yaoxing did not dare to relax at all, they were still panicking.
“No… No, Chu Yue is not afraid of Young Master Changge, but I was a little distracted just now, please forgive me, Young Master Changge.” Ji Chu Yue explained with a trembling voice.
“Oh, what is it that will distract Miss Chu Yue at this time?” Gu Changge asked with some interest.
Hearing this, Ji Chu Yue’s face turned even paler. Naturally, she didn’t dare to say that it was because she thought of his brother’s trouble with Jiang Chen, but she couldn’t find a suitable reason.
“That’s right, but it may make Young Master Changge laugh. The day before yesterday, I heard Young Master Changge say that he would invite many talents to discuss the matter of rescuing the Ancestor. Chu Yue was very grateful to Young Master Changge, and kept mentioning you in front of me. I mentioned something to her by the way, saying that the family intends to let her be your concubine…”
Seeing his sister’s expression, Ji Yaoxing couldn’t figure out why she was distracted just now. While sighing in his heart, he hurriedly stood up and explained with a bit of apology and a wry smile.
Of course, this explanation was also a casual one. Apart from saying that, he couldn’t find a suitable reason. According to Ji Chu Yue’s status, if she became Gu Changge’s concubine, it depended on whether Gu Changge was willing or not.
One had to know how many heavenly beauties coveted this ident.i.ty in the current Upper Realm. Hearing this explanation, many young geniuses at the banquet were stunned and shook their heads with some regret, but they did not doubt it.
After all, Gu Changge was so outstanding and powerful, which heavenly girl won’t be tempted?
In their view, Ji Chu Yue was no exception. Wasn’t that why she was nervous just now and accidentally knocked over the wine gla.s.s?
This was also reasonable.
“Elder brother…” Ji Chu Yue obviously didn’t expect Ji Yaoxing to say that, she was a little dazed, and then a haze rose on her small face.
Saying that in public made her face burn and she felt embarra.s.sed. She was not stupid, she knew that Ji Yaoxing was helping her out, but this explanation did not consider her face at all. This made her so thin-skinned that she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground and hide in it.
“Don’t be shy, Chu Yue, this kind of thing is not something to be ashamed of.” Ji Yaoxing smiled, showing a helpless expression.
“Oh, that’s why. Ms. Chu Yue, why should you be nervous? This Gu is not much of a scourge.” When Gu Changge heard this explanation, his expression didn’t change much, he just smiled lightly, noncommittal.
Ji Yaoxing didn’t know if he believed it or not. But seeing that Gu Changge didn’t continue to hold onto him, he let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that this trouble should be solved.
Seeing Yin Mei behind Gu Changge, she took out a plain white handkerchief to wipe off the alcohol on Gu Changge’s hands.
Ji Yaoxing hastily winked at Ji Chu Yue. Seeing this, Ji Chu Yue also understood what her brother meant, her face was hot, and even her ears were red, she stepped forward, and said in a nonchalant voice, “I’m sorry just now, but I slapped your sleeves, Young Master Changge!”
As she spoke, she also took out a clean handkerchief, and carefully wiped Gu Changge’s hands.
Seeing the flawless pretty face so close at hand, trembling a little due to nervousness, and the drooping black hair exuding a bit of a refreshing fragrance, Gu Changge couldn’t help but smile lightly and didn’t stop her.
Seeing this scene, many young geniuses didn’t feel that there was anything wrong, on the contrary, many heavenly beauties were very envious.
“It’s really a good trick. She deliberately knocked over the wine gla.s.s, just to take the opportunity to get close to the Young Master Changge.”
“This Ji Chu Yue is not a simple person… she did something we wanted to do but didn’t dare.”
The young girls were very envious, and they were jealous.
“Shut up. Chu Yue is not like you guys, climbing the dragon and the phoenix!”
Jiang Chen, whose eyes were a little red, couldn’t help but let out a low drink when he heard this, clenched his fists tightly, and rattled. However, his words did not have any effect.
After the Divine Stone Conference, even with his ident.i.ty as the successor of the Divine Origin Master, in the eyes of many geniuses, they did not need to treat him with courtesy as before.
These talking heavenly girls glanced at him with contempt and disdain in their eyes, they were too lazy to talk and looked like they were watching a fool.
Jiang Chen’s face was ugly and livid, and anger was born in his heart. From his point of view, it was very obvious that Ji Chu Yue didn’t do it voluntarily, but was completely forced by her brother.
She was the little princess of the Ji family, her status was indescribable, and she was beautiful, like a flawless immortal fallen from heaven. When had she wiped a young man’s hands so carefully?
This made Jiang Chen extremely distressed, and even more unwilling.
“Xiao Chen, calm down, don’t be impulsive.” Seeing that Jiang Chen’s expression was wrong, Niu Tian’s face changed slightly, he hurriedly tried to persuade him and pulled him back.
“How can I be calm at this moment?” Jiang Chen clenched his teeth as his heart twitched when he looked at Gu Changge.
Gu Changge on the other hand had a calm expression on the first person. He was dressed in a black robe, exuding dignity, and Ji Chu Yue, who was next to him with a red face carefully wiped his hands.
In his eyes, this scene was no different from a pure, unstained white flower growing beside the evil abyss, which would be torn into pieces by the strong wind blowing from it at any time, and would be wiped out in ashes.
“Come on, take this person down for me!” However, just when Jiang Chen couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to stand up for Ji Chu Yue.
Ji Yaoxing in front suddenly looked in his direction for some reason. The humble and respectful expression on his face disappeared, and he became very indifferent, and he spoke directly.
Boom! Hoo!
And as Ji Yaoxing’s voice fell, many knights in battle suits suddenly appeared outside the Star Gazing Tower, and they immediately surrounded Jiang Chen. It was as if they had been prepared for a long time and had been waiting for this moment.
This sudden scene made Jiang Chen’s expression freeze for an instant, his anger dissipated in an instant, and he froze on the spot.
All the people at the banquet, including the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, Six Crown King, Heavenly Demon Monarch, and others, were also extremely astonished and puzzled. They were shocked by the scene in front of them. They never expected that Ji Yaoxing would order Jiang Chen to be taken down.
“What’s going on?” An Xi and Xiao Zhanxian also stood up in bewilderment and shock and looked back.
After all, Jiang Chen came here with them, so he was acquainted with them.
