Vol 9 Chapter 84 (2/2)

“That question huh?” It seemed like Feng Xian had not completely considered this either and thought for a moment before replying, “Because–”

“Lord Guan Yu, come over and dance too!”

“Wu!”

Just then, a surprised gasp interrupted Feng Xian.

“Alright! I’ll keep you girls company then.”

When I turned back, I found that Yun Chang had been dragged into the center by Wen Yuan and was now swaying about with several others in the center. They had even begun to do a train and were making rounds in the center.

Ah. Just then, I looked about again and found that barely anyone was left sitting at the table. It was supposed to be a normal celebratory banquet but it has now become a ball.

Let’s see… Who else is still here… Me, Feng Xian, Gong You, Huang Zu– Ah, Gong You got pulled up by xiao Yong.

“Xuan De, are you listening?”

It seems like Feng Xian had continued saying what she had been telling me about but this is not what I should be worried for now.

“Ah, un. Feng Xian, I’ll be heading out for a bit first.”

If I do not slip away now, then I will definitely be pulled up as well. Go up and do that sort of silly dance? No way! I am not even drunk too!

“Un? Xuan De, you– Ah.” Feng Xian tried to stop me when she saw me sneak away but then stopped herself and awkwardly retracted her hand, “Ah, Xuan De is going to do ‘that’ right?”

Looks like Feng Xian has learnt a thing or 2 and is more tactful mow.

“Un, ‘that’ indeed.”

Of course it’s not for that. I am just trying to flee the scene. I had already thoroughly settled the purging of liquids from my system a while ago after all. But I do not have time to talk to Feng Xian, I must get out as soon as possible.

“Ah!! Lord Lu Bu! You should come too!”

“Come, my lord!!”

Just as I reached the doorway, a howl came for me and I quickly ran out. After a few steps, someone yelled for me again. When I heard this, I quickly hid behind a rock, afraid that someone would yank me back in and force me to dance.

It’s a good thing that they are really caught up in the mood as they gave up soon after. Or perhaps they naively believe that I will return after a while. Of course I will, but only after you are all dead drunk. When that time comes, I will have to haul you lot back to your rooms, keep the tables, wash the dishes etc. In any case, I have a mountain of work to do.

“Haa… So tired…”

Un? As I sat on the rock. a voice could be heard. I thought it was my inner voice at first but then there’s no way that my inner voice could be a female one.

*s.h.i.+ku*~~ And soon after was the sound of drinking.

When I looked over, I saw Yuan Zhi sitting on another rock beside mind. She had a cup in her hands and was sipping from it as she gazed at the moon. Beside her were the gourds which she always used to store her sugar water. By the looks of it, she’s on her 3rd gourd by now.

But Yuan Zhi came out as well huh? I wonder if she came out here because she could not take that horrid dancing or if she was afraid of being forced to partic.i.p.ate?

“…”

Un? All of a sudden I could feel that the air around Yuan Zhi changed slightly and became heavier. What was happening–

“Who’s there?” A delicate voice came from Yuan Zhi and a branch snapped with a *Da* and was pointing at my forehead in the blink of an eye.

Eek! I made a weird sound as I clenched my teeth. It was just a tree branch but I got a shock and nearly fell over backwards but was able to get a good grip and kept my balance.

“Eh?” Yuan Zhi said as she recognised me under the moonlight and looked at the main hall, “Why is Xuan De here?” She asked with a very surprised look as though I should not be here.
