C123 (1/2)
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.
