Even after returning to the mansion, Hong Ling still did not react in time. The amount of information that Su Yu and Qingyao had given him was just too much. One was to directly claim that he was her boyfriend, and the other was to demand that he pretend to be her boyfriend. What's wrong with this world? It suddenly gave people a feeling that it was too much of a surprise.

In accordance to Hong Ling's request, the banquet was not set up in the hall, but placed under a huge and ancient peach tree. At this time, it was almost dusk. As the wind blew, the flowers on the jade tree gently swayed, scattering petals in a pinkish color. The three women sat under the tree, their eyes full of surprise and joy. It had to be said that Canfeng's judgement of others was extremely good, as though it was following Hong Ling's taste. Everything he arranged was in the style of elegance and aesthetics, and without any affectation, as if it were natural.

”I say, Hong Ling, is this house really your home?” Qingyao stared at Hong Ling curiously and asked. She was simply too shocked. Hong Ling's residence was decorated from the inside to the outside with incomparable extravagance. Even the glazed roof tiles had been burned out from the top-grade brick kiln. As for the pillars, the crystal windows, and even the lamps and incense burners, they were all top quality goods. However, when these vulgar things were put together, they did not give people the feeling of being a nouveau riche. Instead, they gave people a feeling as if they had come from the heavens.

”Yes!” Hong Ling nodded his head, ”I let Canfeng buy this mansion, and as for the overall arrangement, other than giving him a general description of the requirements, he will handle the other details. If Miss Qingyao is interested, you can ask him! ”

The table used for the banquet was a carved altar, about a foot and a half high, used by ancient emperors to entertain their subjects. The group of people sat on soft prayer mats with blankets from the Great Prairie beneath their feet. As for the food, it was also very sumptuous. Apart from the meat and wine, the fruits and vegetables were also prepared. Inside the jade pot was aged wine, which was placed in the bronze wine cup on the table and filled to the brim with fine wine. There were many maids standing aside to provide the guests with what they needed in time.

”Seeing that your family is so rich, I suddenly feel like I'm still quite poor!” Qingyao said with envy. He casually picked up the bronze wine cup, with his sleeve, he drank all the wine in the cup. Seeing that she was drinking so boldly, Hong Ling smiled, raised his wine cup, and signaled to everyone present, and finished it in one gulp. Other than him, there were only Su Yu and his master and servants present, as well as Canfeng and Qingyao. Because Qingyao did not recognize anyone as his own, this feast seemed to be rather harmonious.

Su Yu originally did not like drinking, but the little girl seemed to still be fighting with Qingyao. After Qingyao drank a cup of wine, she followed him and drank a cup, causing Hong Ling's heart to ache a little. Hong Ling was seated in the seat of honor, and Su Yu was seated on the left side facing Qingyao. Xiao Tao was right next to her young miss, while Canfeng was right below her. He originally did not want to join in the feast with his master, but Hong Ling forced him to stay behind. What a joke, if this guy ran away, then, when Su Yu and Qingyao started fighting again, how would he be able to find help?

The feast was extremely harmonious. Su Yu and Qingyao did not argue with each other again, causing Hong Ling to heave a sigh of relief. However, seeing that everyone was just eating and drinking, he felt a little bored.

”Everyone, since it's a dinner party today, I feel that we need to have some shows!” Hong Ling laughed, ”Of course, I can give you my wager, provided that everyone is satisfied with their show!”

”Young Master, what wager are you planning to give?” Xiao Tao asked somewhat curiously. She had always been an impatient person, and simply could not hold back her words.

”The wager is that I can agree to any one of your conditions. Every person can only state one condition. It includes the refinement of magical equipment, as well as some conditions that are within a reasonable range, I will gladly help everyone accomplish it! ”

”Eh, Hong Ling, is what you said true?” Su Yu could not help but ask, ”Will you agree to anything?”

”Of course! But the condition is that it cannot go beyond the limits of my ability, and it cannot be harmful to the heavens! ” Hong Ling nodded and said.

Young master, I'll go first. I'll go first!” Little Peach jumped up in joy. With a light leap, she was already in the middle of the banquet. She giggled and took out a jade guqin from her spatial ring. Then, she sat down cross-legged and began to play on her own. An ancient musical instrument slowly flowed out from between her intertwined hands. The girl began to sing, her voice melodious and clear. Sometimes it was accompanied by a trace of joy, and sometimes it was accompanied by a trace of sadness. For a moment, everyone was stunned listening to him.

Flowers and trees bloom in the east wind at night,

The wind blew, and the stars rained down.

The road was filled with the fragrance of carved BMW carts.

The sound of the flute moved, the jade pot revolved, and a night of dancing fish and dragons appeared.

The moth, the snow willow, the golden thread,

The laughter faded away.
