Chapter 169 He and Tang San will finally have a formal duel

After Dugu Bo's body was dealt with, the servants immediately cleaned up the scene and then invited the guests to take their seats again.

Although this incident affected our mood for dining, the banquet had just begun after all, and we couldn't leave because of this, as that would be extremely disrespectful.

Xue Ye held Lin Luo and sat on his throne, but Lin Luo looked at his mother at this time.

Qian Renxue, as the crown prince, sat opposite the queen, below and to the side of the emperor. Her expression was calm, but she glanced secretly in Lin Luo's direction at this moment.

The protagonist of today's banquet has suddenly become my own son... What a strange feeling.

Finding that Lin Luo was also looking at her, Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and made a funny expression: "Omitted."

She thought no one saw it, but Xue Ke who was sitting next to her saw it clearly.

"Wow - Prince brother is so cute!"

Xue Ke stared with her beautiful eyes, roaring in her heart, and quickly ate two large appetizers like food.

"I want to sit with Dad."

Lin Luo turned and said to Xue Ye.

"This..." The old emperor hesitated. He wanted to continue pretending how close his relationship with the child was.

However, if the child is close to the prince, then he is also close to the emperor, so Xue Ye readily agreed: "Go."

Sitting next to Qian Renxue, Lin Luo giggled and deliberately pinched her soft thigh, but Qian Renxue ignored him and drank her tea by herself, looking noble and dignified like a royal child.

After pinching her legs a few more times, Qian Renxue slapped her open, and Lin Luo finally calmed down.

Half a minute later, a white-haired woman wearing a veil walked towards the banquet area with an excited smile on her face and anticipation in her beautiful eyes.

Behind her, there were countless palace maids, each holding a plate filled with delicious food.

Not to mention, the appearance alone is enough to whet people's appetite.

Except for the people in the palace, all the guests here swallowed their saliva. Huyanli, the fat boy from the Xiangjia Sect, was stunned and lay on the table with drooling.

"Finally I can eat!"

But when plates of food were placed on the table in front of the guests, the royal family remained indifferent and seemed to have no intention of picking up their chopsticks.

On a snowy night, all the concubines in the palaces, Xue Beng, Xue Ke, including Qian Renxue and her son, as well as Xue Gan, Xue Fu, and Yu Luoyi, all sat upright in their seats, looking tense.

The guests looked up at Xue Ye and frowned slightly. Why hasn't Your Majesty picked up his chopsticks yet?
According to the rules of the banquet, no one can take the first bite of food before the emperor picks up his chopsticks.

So everyone looked at the emperor.

Xue Ye's throat moved. He picked up the chopsticks. His right hand was stiff for a few seconds. Suddenly, he put the chopsticks down again and smiled awkwardly at everyone, "Everyone... look at what I'm doing. Eat!"

What you mean is, if you, the emperor, don’t eat it, who among us dares to eat it?

Xue Ye didn't move his chopsticks, and no one below dared to move their chopsticks.

Lin Luo and Qian Renxue watched this scene with amusement. Fortunately, they were not emperors, so they just had to watch the fun at this moment.

"cough!"

A woman wearing a veil appeared from behind Xue Ye and coughed heavily.

Almost instantly, Xue Ye's body trembled violently. He just picked up the chopsticks, but didn't hold them firmly, so he quickly put them down in his hand.

"Okay, I'll eat, I'll eat..."

He gently picked up a piece of coriander from the plate and put it in his mouth, chewing it deliciously.

"Well, yes, today's banquet dishes are very delicious."

The woman behind him was a person who stood at the top of the continent. Even if it made everyone on the scene vomit, Xue Ye would not dare to offend this woman in the slightest. If she sneezed, I might be wiped out.

Moreover, His Majesty's action today has brought honor to our Tiandou Imperial Family. From now on, all major forces will believe that there is a soul master with strength no less than the Super Douluo level in our Tiandou Imperial Palace.

This is a sure-win business.

Damn...even the coriander is too salty. Xue Ye smiled but cried out in her heart.

I am in my 40s and I am so tired.

Seeing Xue Ye picking up his chopsticks, the people in the audience couldn't wait to start eating.

Ten seconds later, the whole area was filled with vomiting sounds.

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang crawled on the ground in pain, vomiting and asking, "Water! Water! Who has water?"

"A bunch of unlucky guys."

Seeing this, Poseidon left angrily.

During the entire banquet, no one in the palace touched their chopsticks once and successfully escaped the disaster.

After the banquet, the first thing Qian Renxue and Lin Luo did after returning to their bedroom was to take off their clothes.

The mother and son threw their heavy coats on the ground. Qian Renxue picked up a big fan and fanned Lin Luo. After a moment, she handed the fan to Lin Luo, and Lin Luo fanned his mother again.

Qian Renxue pulled at her collar, revealing her slender neck, and complained, "It's so hot, the open-air banquet is finally over."

Just then, two people suddenly walked in through the door.

The mother and son were startled, but when they saw that it was Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, they relaxed a little.

Thinking of the scene outside Xue Ye's bedroom when Qian Dao Liu attacked, Qian Renxue spoke with a slightly unnatural expression: "Thank you, Grandpa, for that time..."

"Humph!"

Qian Daoliu turned around proudly, not looking at his granddaughter, and crossed his arms across his chest, as if he was still angry about what happened that day.

Qian Renxue silently lip-synced a few words to him behind his back, and then Bibi Dong spoke: "Now that Dugu Bo has been killed in public by Luo'er, the two of you should have no greater enemy in the palace."

Qian Daoliu turned around and asked, "So, the mastermind behind this is Avalanche?"

Qian Renxue shook her head, thinking back to what happened that day on the way to the Tiandou Empire. Dugu Bo clearly did not recognize her identity, but he knew clearly who he was going to kill.

"Avalanche should be innocent. The one who sent Dugu Bo here must be someone else."

Bibi Dong asked again: "Has Dugu Bo had close contact with anyone recently?"

Qian Renxue nodded: "There is one, but he is only a ten-year-old boy named Tang San. According to the investigation of the Spirit Hall's spies, he is studying at a junior college in Notting City. The reason why he associates with Dugu Bo seems to be because he knows some pharmacological knowledge."

Bibi Dong: "In your opinion, was it the child who instigated Dugu Bo to assassinate you and your son?"

Qian Renxue shook her head: "I don't think it's likely."

Children are all little angels. How could a ten-year-old boy have such a dark heart?
Thinking of this, she grabbed Lin Luo and rubbed her son's head with a smile.

Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice: "Nothing is impossible. Send someone to investigate Tang San's background and identity first, and then make a conclusion. It is suspicious that a child from Notting City has the opportunity to contact Dugu Bo."

Lin Luo rarely spoke.

The grudge between him and Tang San must be resolved by himself, just like he was able to kill Dugu Bo in public today.

He and Tang San will eventually have a formal showdown.
