Chapter 5444: Envy, jealousy, and hatred towards “him.”
It was a pity that his status was not high enough. His looks were ordinary, and his aptitude was also very ordinary. However, he had relied on the full cultivation of his family’s resources to force-feed and reach beginner mystique venerable rank. Naturally, Yan fangting looked down on him and was not even interested in saying another word.
Knowing that Ling Chuxi had actually rejected Yan fangting’s invitation and even dared to injure her, causing his dream lover to lose face in front of everyone in the hall, he naturally felt endless envy, jealousy, and hate towards Ling Chuxi. Of course, there was also a little jealousy that he himself refused to admit.
Just now, when he saw that Ling Chuxi was actually on the same level as those seniors, Wei zhenting’s heart was even more upset. He couldn’t help but want to find a fault to vent his grievances.
The situation of the other young men was similar. They were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. In any case, they did not have a good expression on Ling Chuxi’s face.
Sigh, it’s all because of her cross-dressing! Ling Chuxi did not know whether to laugh or cry at this inexplicable hatred.
“Young master Ling, please enjoy the dishes and tea. Our Chu family’s head chef has been preparing for this banquet for a long time. These are all his best dishes, and we usually don’t have the chance to eat them.” Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xiao Qin quickly tried to smooth things over and put food into Ling Chuxi’s bowl with all her might.
Of course, Ling Chuxi would not fall out with Wei zhenting and the others over such a matter. It would not look good if the Chu family’s face was too stiff. Thus, she ignored them and focused on destroying the various delicious dishes in her bowl.
Ling Chuxi had to admit that the chef of the Chu family was really good at cooking. Ever since she had left the human clan’s dimension, she had never eaten such a delicious dish. She ate with great pleasure.
It seemed that these relatives of the Chu family also regarded food as their heaven. Ling Chuxi had finally found the source of her glutton genes.
Seeing Ling Chuxi nod her head repeatedly as she ate, it was obvious that she was very satisfied with these dishes. Little Qin was so happy that her eyes turned into crescents. She continued to put food in her bowl with a face full of happiness. There was really a bit of warmth in the atmosphere.
However, the few people beside her were all looking at Ling Chuxi with a straight face and a look of disdain, which was a little disharmonious.
“Hmph, country bumpkins who have never seen the world. Look at how cowardly they are. I’m afraid they’ve never eaten such good food in their entire lives.” The few of them sneered in their hearts.
The guests who had just arrived at the Chu family were not very clear about Ling Chuxi’s background, but they had long understood it. As a result, they were even more puzzled as to why Yan fangting would choose him. They were even more puzzled as to why he did not know how to appreciate favors, dared to reject Yan fangting’s invitation, and even turned against her. What he couldn’t figure out was why an elder of the Chu family would address him as a brother.
Although they really wanted to find something to vent Yan fangting’s anger, as well as for themselves, Ling Chuxi did not respond to them. She did not even want to say a word to them. They had no choice but to keep their anger in their hearts and stare at Ling Chuxi from time to time with ill intentions.
“Elder Chu, tomorrow is the Chu family’s big day. I have prepared a gift for you. Please accept it.” Halfway through the wine, Yan fangting suddenly stood up, took out a brocade box, and handed it to fourth elder.
Although the brocade box was tightly closed, everyone could still vaguely feel the faint Taoist connotation inside. It was obvious that this was no ordinary treasure.
The fourth elder was slightly surprised. He opened the box and saw an exquisite Dragon-shaped jade pendant lying in the box, emitting a soft and mysterious light.
“The Dragon Spirit Jade. This is the Dragon Spirit Jade belonging to the celestial venerable Long Xiao!” A knowledgeable person exclaimed.
