Luo Liya turned around and saw Wu Kong's figure. He was wearing an extremely simple robe, standing in front of the candle flame with a smile plastered on his face.

She nodded, then turned around and said to Lori, "I'll go over first. I'll wait for second brother to come over if he's not busy."

Lorry immediately nodded. He seemed to be in a very good mood.

Luo Liya then followed Wu Kong to sit at the table of the Moon Spirit group. At their table were Wu Kong, Fu Dongming, Moon Spirit, Zi Ruo and Ye Yingtian, and also … Fire Fury, Zhang Yi, and Gao Ying.

Luo Liya didn't know whether to laugh or cry when her friends and enemies met.

Originally, Fire Chaser Phoenix and Zhang Yi didn't want to sit here, but Fire Chaser Phoenix's mother really wanted her to live in peace with Luo Liya, so this arrangement was made. As for Gao Ying, when he was invited by Luo Lei, he harbored bad intentions and purposely sat there, waiting for Luo Liya.

Luo Liya's eyes met with Gao Ying's. This was the first time she saw Gao Ying, and it was only after Wu Kong introduced him in a low voice that she realized he was Gao Ying.

He did not look old, and his eyebrows were filled with vitality. There was only a single shallow wrinkle on his forehead, and his entire body exuded the aura of a scholar. Those who did not know this actually thought that he was a good official.

Luo Liya sat beside the moon spirit, but her eyes never left Gao Ying's body. The atmosphere at the banquet table changed without a sound.

Luo Liya and Fu Dongming had the deepest grudge with Gao Ying. It was Luo Liya who captured Goldman Sachs and Fu Quan, Fu Dongming's father, who ordered Goldman to be executed.

Gao Ying had always remembered them and vowed to grind their bones into ashes.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time, before Gao Ying moved his gaze away. He knew that this was not the time, and he couldn't find a suitable excuse to harm Luo Liya in the dark.

"Liya, you're finally here. You must be hungry, right? "Hurry up and eat some food." Yue Ling smiled as she prepared many dishes for Luo Liya. Luo Liya also received them with a smile.

"No, you're late. You need to get three drinks!" Ye Yingtian blocked Luo Liya's hand and poured a few cups of wine into her wine cup.

Luo Liya raised her eyes and stared at Ye Yingtian. Her cheeks were red and her eyes were misty. With one glance, she seemed to be drunk.

"I don't want to drink." Tomorrow, she still had to wake up earlier to cultivate. The closer she got to the final moment, the more nervous she became to make use of every second.

"Is this kind of thing that you don't want to think about? Drink! I'll drink with you! "

Ye Yingtian impatiently asked Luo Liya to pick up the wine cup. Just as Luo Liya was feeling helpless, she suddenly heard a low voice from the side.

"Liya doesn't want to drink it. My brother will drink it for her. What do you think?"

Luo Liya immediately turned her head to the side. Unknowingly, Lori had already appeared beside her.

"Teacher Luo is a longevity star today, how can a longevity star drink for someone else?" Gao Ying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth.

"Exactly! You don't even know how to drink alcohol, and yet you rely on your own brother? The Fire Phoenix also joined in the commotion, her eyes filled with a proud expression.

Luo Liya felt nauseous as soon as she saw the expression on Feng Chiling. She took out her wine cup. Wasn't it just drinking? It wasn't like she couldn't drink.

Just as she was about to drink it all, Wu Kong stopped her, "I'm not a longevity star. Can I drink it in place of my sister?"

"Me too." Fu Dongming added, as both of them busied themselves with helping Luo Liya.

The whole situation had suddenly become somewhat delicate.

"Fourth Miss Luo is indeed blessed. With so many people protecting you, it seems like only Miss Fire Phoenix is willing to drink with an old man like me. Come, come, let's toast."

Gao Ying smirked as he raised his wine cup. Huo Cuifeng also reacted immediately. The two of them clinked their wine cups, then each drank their fill in one gulp.

Even the drunk Ye Yingtian was stunned. He was the one who urged them to drink. How did he become that Gao Ying?

Gao Ying's mocking words fell into Luo Liya's ears, making her feel very uncomfortable. However, when she thought of the other point, she didn't have the mood to care about Gao Ying's mocking expression. What she cared about now was: seeing Gao Ying and Huo Qiufeng acting like this, were they going to join forces to deal with her? They have an official alliance?

One was a poisonous scorpion, the other was a proud phoenix that would not let anyone off, one was cautious, and the other was impulsive. This way, they would coincidentally complement each other.

Thinking of this, Luo Liya's brows furrowed, she did not even hear Lorry's call.

He called out to her several times before she realized what he meant. Seeing her confused appearance, Lori sighed helplessly. "Liya, can you come with me to meet your sister-in-law?"

Luo Liya also came back to her senses. She nodded, stood up with her mouth curled and followed Luo Lei. Wu Kong saw her figure gradually disappearing into the distance, so he lowered his head in disappointment.

My sister hasn't even had a bite to eat. She must be hungry. he thought.

Lori brought Lori to a table where children were sitting. There was only one adult.

"Qingqing, Liya is here."

The woman, who had lowered her head to feed the child beside her, lifted her eyes. It was only then that Luo Liya was able to see her appearance clearly.

The woman had a bun in her hair, her eyes were curved, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. A faint dimple appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes were bright and lifelike.

"You are Lea? I've always heard my husband talk about you, but never had the chance to see you. "

The woman whom Luo Lei had addressed as a 'lady in law' stood up and nodded at Luo Liya with a smile. Luo Liya also replied with a smile, "Greetings sister-in-law. Is this the son of you and my second brother?"

Luo Liya pointed to the child who was eating by himself, Meng Qing immediately nodded, "Yes, his name is Luo Xi, Luo Xi, hurry and call him aunt."

When little Loxi heard someone calling her name, she immediately raised her head. It was a very cute child, with some rice grains on her cheeks. She said in a childish voice, "Loxian greets Aunt!"

"So cute." Luo Liya couldn't help but reach out her hand to touch Luo Xi's head, "How old is Luo Xi?"

"Reporting to aunt, Luoxi is only six years old. She's already learning the etiquette of poetry from teacher."

When Loria heard him say this, she couldn't help laughing, like a little adult.

She turned around and stared fixedly at Lori. She took the opportunity to take a glass of wine from the table and refill it. Then she raised her glass and said, "Second brother, happy birthday."

Lorraine had been startled by her sudden action and hadn't expected it at all.

But he quickly came back to his senses and smiled as he took the wine cup from Luo Liya's hand. He poured out the wine from inside and changed it into tea, "How about you, just use tea in place of wine. Second Brother knows your temper."

Luo Liya stared at his actions, and her heart was suddenly moved.

She drained the cup of tea in one gulp. Lori pulled her to one side as soon as she put down her glass. The nearby banquet tables were filled with women, children, and children. Lori could finally relax and speak.

"Liya, how did you offend the assistant minister Gao Ying?"

Lori didn't know about the matters that had happened during her enlistment. Fu Quan had personally ordered that even if Goldman Sachs was dealt with by military law, Lori's name wouldn't be mentioned in the report. She knew that this was Fu Quan protecting her, but Gao Ying still found out later on that she was the culprit behind his son's death.

At this moment, Luo Liya already treated Lori as one of her own, so she told him everything that had happened that day in a low voice. After hearing it, Lori's expression didn't look too good.

"No wonder... "No wonder I don't have any friendly relations with him. He just wants to attend my birthday banquet. So that's how it is."

Luo Lei mumbled to himself. Luo Liya quickly said, "Don't worry, second brother, I will settle this matter well. I will definitely not implicate you and father."

When Lori heard Luo Liya's words, he was stunned. He then let out a smile, "Silly girl, Dad and I aren't worried about being implicated at all. But that Gao Ying, you have to be careful."

As he said this, a sharp expression flashed across Lore's face.

"Second brother, don't get involved …"

"Alright, I know my limits." Before Luo Liya could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lori. He patted her shoulder in fear, "Go eat with your friends, you must be hungry."

Lori had already said so, and Loria had to give up and wait until she was alone with him.

She did not pay any attention to Gao Ying and Huo Chifeng. The banquet was held very late that night, and as Lori's younger sister, she was naturally kept at the end. After Lori had sent all the guests out, she brought Lori and the others to take a look around the bustling imperial city of the Blue Water Nation.

Previously, they were at their hometown in River City for the new year. Back then, they were busy dealing with the Void Gu, and later on, they were busy rebuilding.

Luo Lei was leading the way with his wife and children, Luo Yan and Luo Liya, father and daughter, Wu Kong, Fu Dongming, and Ye Yingtian were together. Zi Ruo and Moon Spirit were at the back.

"Liya, look at your second brother. He looks like a father to a husband at this time. He's usually just like a young man." Luoyan looked at Lore, who was carrying Loxi, and spoke in a deep voice.

"No way. Second Brother has always been mature and steady. He has always been doing well. He is my role model."

"Really?" I thought you were going to resent him in your heart. " Luo Yan asked softly, her tone was erratic, her expression a little confused, her eyes unmoving as she looked ahead.

"Dad, you think too much. I don't blame second brother anymore." Luo Liya lowered her head and spoke in a muffled voice.

"It's best if you don't blame him. Your second brother …" I'm afraid I won't let you know for the rest of your life. You just need to understand that your second brother really values you as his little sister. "

Luo Yan said in a profound tone. As her voice fell, he felt as if he had said something else. His expression suddenly changed, and Luo Liya naturally saw his reaction.

"I understand." She gently said these words, and Luo Yan gave a comforting smile. Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded in front of them, and Luo Liya felt as if the ground was shaking.

She couldn't help but look towards the sound of the loud explosion. Multicolored fireworks blossomed one after another, appearing extremely dazzling. The radiance illuminated everyone's face completely.

"This was set up in the palace. It's the best fireworks."

Luo Yan explained to them, but her eyes remained fixed on the fireworks. They were a lot longer and prettier than normal fireworks, and everyone could see their brightest moment when they looked up.

Looking at the fireworks, Luo Liya did not have any unnecessary feelings, she only thought it was very beautiful. Right now, most of her attention was focused on two things: obtaining a good ranking in the martial arts competition, and dealing with Gao Ying, who almost killed them.
