In addition, a portion of the family members of the Black Tortoise dukedom were present. At this time, this place was bustling with activity. However, the moment Jun Lin Yue stepped through the door, everyone quieted down.
At this moment, the eldest wife who sat at the back smiled as she looked at Jun Bluemoon, including his brothers. Everyone bowed in unison, "We pay our respects to the Marquis of Xuanwu!"
When Yang Xi'er saw that everyone was kneeling down, she couldn't help but want to kneel down, but was forcefully pulled back by the dynasty.
Yang Xi'er was still a little angry. When she turned around and saw that the people brought by the dynasty did not greet them, she suddenly realized that she had done something wrong and blushed.
Jun Linyue said, "Everyone, get up. It's been a long time since you've come. Take a seat!" Welcome to our feast! "
The entire hall echoed, "Thank you, Marquis Xuanwu!" After which, they all stood up. The hall was brightly lit, reflecting the dinner of nearly a hundred people. Around them were many lanterns, blazing with red light.
At this moment, Jun Lin Yue walked forwards step by step. Yang Xi'er also followed closely behind him, but the majority of the distance was covered by him walking shoulder-to-shoulder. Although the dynasty was reminding them, it was useless and Yang Xi'er didn't hear them at all.
Until the people below began their discussion, Jun Lin Yue suddenly stopped and frowned as he looked at Yang Xi'er. Yang Xi'er did not know what was going on as she followed, but this time, she was forcefully pulled back by the Yang Dynasty, and glanced at her.
Yang Xi'er didn't know what was going on, but luckily, they had moved over. When the Jun Lin finally sat down, the rest of the people slowly took their seats. At this time, the dynasty finally told all of its rules to Yang Xi'er.
Since she was young, Yang Xi'er had never been restricted by any rules. Naturally, she had always rejected these rules. However, this was not the Black Heaven Sect, but the Black Tortoise Mansion. She could only obediently follow these rules. After everyone sat down, it was almost night time for the meal. The steaming hot food and wine caused everyone to salivate.
However, it was not just a meal, but a banquet for so many people. Jun Lanyue knew that there must be other important things that had to be announced, but he didn't even know about the entire Black Tortoise Mansion. Could it be that his first wife had only given him a meeting of officials on the spur of the moment?
Just as he sat down, a servant handed him a red menu. The dynasty received it and passed it to Jun Bluemoon. At the beginning, Jun Lin Yue didn't think anything was amiss. It wasn't until he received the letter that he opened the menu and discovered a piece of paper with a series of red words written on it.
"You have secretly hidden the remnant daughter of the Netherworld Sect and made a grave mistake. He Prefecture had been occupied by the remnants of the Unholy Cult on the grounds that they were looking for the female Sect Leader Lin Che. The Human Emperor has learnt that if you want to punish the Black Tortoise, you better give up your seat and let me help you out of this mess.
Jun Bluemoon frowned, staring at the piece of paper in a daze. It was not known whether this matter was true or false, but the first thing that caught his attention was the attitude of the first lady.
In the past, the First Wife would always secretly make things difficult for him, or even assassinate him. However, in recent days, he had been acting out of the ordinary. He had always been very friendly towards Jun Lin, and his attitude had also become unusual. Was it all for this matter today? Jun Lanyue originally believed that there were many good people in this world, but when it came to the first wife, he had to reconsider.
At this moment, the maid took the red menu from the side and handed it to Jun Lin Yue. And this menu was the real menu.
At this moment, the First Lady stood up and signaled for the people around her to quiet down. "Honorable officials, everyone!"
At that moment, everyone in the hall began to put down what they were doing. Following the first wife raising her wineglass, everyone raised their wineglasses as well.
"Everyone, right now, under the rule of the Great Under Heaven, the country, the people, and the Azure Province, under the Black Tortoise Mansion, is peaceful." Of course, this cannot be separated from everyone's efforts and cooperation. Ever since the Marquis of Xuanwu had taken the throne, he had made several meritorious deeds, gained the recognition of the Human Emperor, won the Martial Meeting, exterminated the Nether Sect, and reconciled with the Mysterious Sky Sect … It was inseparable from the talent and hard work of the Black Tortoise Marquis, Lin Yue. Let everyone drink a toast to the fact that there is such a duke in Central Pine City! "
With these words, everyone raised their wine glasses and responded one by one.
Jun Linyue also stood up, raising his wine cup. At this moment, he saw that the first wife was looking at him with a gaze full of goodwill. However, the smile on her face was enough to send chills down his spine. Although she could pretend to be warm, she could not conceal the meaning behind her eyes.
Jun Lin took a deep breath and drained his cup in one gulp.
Just then, the First Lady put down her wine cup and said to the crowd, "However, everyone, please listen to me. Recently, the Duke of Black Tortoise suddenly felt his body not feeling well. Perhaps the pressure on his shoulders was too great. Even though he was young, he still blamed himself several times and came to talk to me. It was only with patience and counsel that I regained my confidence. Today, he specially entrusted me to invite the parents and officials of the Azure Province to participate in this family banquet. Firstly, I thank you all for your cooperation and support, and secondly, there is something you need to announce! "
At this moment, the first wife looked over at him and gave him a look. He looked at Yang Xi'er, who was in the distance. At this moment, the First Wife's general was putting a hand on Yang Xi'er's shoulder, holding a shiny dagger in his hand.
However, Yang Xi'er had no idea. All of a sudden, that person's eyes were wide open as he exerted strength in his hands. Only then did Yang Xi'er react, but her own nose was covered by a loud shout, making her unable to make any sound. Several joints of her body were inexplicably stuck, making her unable to move.
Seeing Jun Lin Yue looking over, Yang Xi'er seemed to have a glimmer of hope. Of course, she didn't know that this was precisely the method that threatened him to hand over the position of the Black Tortoise Marquis.
His heart tightened. At this moment, with a wave of the hand, everyone turned to look at Jun Bluemoon.
Jun Linyue relaxed his brows, and paused for a moment before retracting his gaze from Yang Xi'er. He then smiled, "Everyone!" I am the Marquis of Xuanwu, Lin Yue! "
Before he finished speaking, cheers and applause could be heard from the audience. This voice seemed to come from all directions, but the nearly one hundred people present felt as if their hearts were being overturned by a mountain. Jun Lanyue instantly felt moved. But, he still had to call out this location, right?
He could also loudly voice out the First Wife's conspiracy against him, as well as abduct Yang Xi'er and force him to hand over the position of Marquis. But he couldn't guarantee that Yang wouldn't be harmed. Therefore, he smiled and continued, "Thank you for everyone's support and encouragement!"
He then looked at Yang Xi'er, whose lies were filled with fear and the desire to live. She could see very clearly that the dagger on her snow-white neck was already pressed against her soft skin. An ice-cold feeling spread from her neck to Yang Xi'er's whole body.
