"So Nina's breakthrough was due to those resources?" "My luck is pretty good."
"Do you think that some of them have their eyes on Nina and want to marry her?" "Otherwise, why would they even kill the people from the Tiger Tally royal family just because of her?"
"?"
Various discussions and gossips could be heard. There were even quite a few people who were strolling around the vicinity of the royal palace, hoping to catch a glimpse of the scene within from afar. It was a grand banquet.
It was only natural to entertain such an expert.
In the entire royal palace, the lanterns were resplendent.
All sorts of light attribute treasures hung in every corner, rendering the palace extremely luxurious.
At the entrance, the Elf King, a few Queen and five core members stood inside, preparing to greet them.
Along the way, someone had already informed them of the news.
"Hahaha."
He originally wanted to talk to Yue Wuwei first, but when he stood in the middle of the crowd, he found that the young man called Zhang Hanyang was actually at the very front.
Hm?
Zhang Hanyang should be a junior of that Ranker, right?
Didn't he understand the etiquette of an elder?
If it was their Elemental Fairy Clan, they would have long been reprimanded.
However, the other party was powerful, so the Elf King did not dare to show such an expression.
"Welcome back, all heroes. Zhang Hanyang, I have long heard of you all. Today, after seeing you all, you all are truly outstanding, a dragon amongst men!"
"That's right, he's handsome and his strength is high. It's rare to see someone like him." A few of the queens beside her laughed in agreement.
However, their enthusiasm was not exchanged for Zhang Han's smile.
His expression was calm, as if he did not see the Elf King's outstretched hand.
Weng! *
The Elf King's head buzzed.
He was stunned.
Why aren't you giving me any face?
He was a bit angry in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face. He moved his palm to the right without leaving a trace, took a step to the side, and patted Mo Wen on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."
In the end, he turned left, his gaze sweeping across Zhang Han, and looked at Yue Wuwei who was inside.
Zhang Han directly said:
"Let's go in first."
Eh?
Mu Xue suddenly burst out laughing.
Master letting them in meant that something was up.
Adding on the words he had previously said about Nina being wronged, at this moment, Mu Xue, Chen Changqing, Zhou Fei, Zi Yan, Zhang Guangyou, Zhang Mu, etc., almost all of them knew.
"Welcome, welcome everyone. Please come in. The banquet has been arranged."
The Elf King laughed and led his group inside.
A few of the queens standing at the back couldn't help but feel infuriated. There were even two who couldn't help but secretly roll their eyes.
How rude.
Besides, our main guest is that old senior. It's just something along the way.
Although he was angry, he did not dare to use words to express some of his thoughts.
Now, they all wanted to board the old senior's ship, so that they could have a safe haven.
However, this senior seemed to be a bit dull and didn't like to speak?
At this point, Li Mu followed the crowd and looked left and right, as if he had guessed something. He didn't say a single word and was ready to watch a good show.
To the right of the hall was the banquet area.
There were four long wooden tables. The chairs were like baskets and the fragrance of flowers permeated the air. There were a lot of delicacies on the table, half of them were green fruits and vegetables and the other half was meat.
"So hungry."
Chen Chuan looked at the items on the table. He was drooling.
Gluttony.
Mengmeng and Yue Xiaoxiao sat on the chairs respectively.
After thinking for a moment, Mengmeng patted the seat between her and Yue Xiaoxiao. "Nina, sit here."
Hm?
The Elf King and the Queen that followed after him had different gazes.
The elders were all sitting here without saying anything. How dare a mere junior like you speak first?
Do you even know etiquette?
Were they from a wild place?
Zhang Xuan felt displeased.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if they were to realize that Yue Wuwei and Zhang Han were only two families, they wouldn't even have a close relationship.
He guessed that someone would have to indirectly remind him of the problem of 'politeness'.
"This meat is very fragrant. Big sister Mengmeng, quickly try it. My spoon is still useless, let me scoop a piece for you."
Chen Chuan, the follower of Mengmeng, took out a piece of meat and placed it on the small plate in front of Mengmeng.
Swish!
Sitting opposite of him, the Elf King felt even more uncomfortable.
The Queen of the Elves, in particular, smiled meaningfully at Chen Chuan.
Was he saying that he was young and didn't understand the rules, or was he saying that he was cute?
Under the gazes of these people, Nina walked to the side of Mengmeng and sat down. She gave Little Chen Chuan a further push and the little guy did not care about anything else and started to eat first.
On the other hand, Mengmeng and Yue Xiaoxiao did not touch the chopsticks.
The atmosphere on the field was not lively.
After everyone had sat down, the Elf King smiled and said,
Today is our first time meeting, and I am very happy that you have saved Nina and given her more chances in the future. Here, I express my sincere gratitude to you all, so why don't I introduce you all to my wives and children.
"There's no need for introductions."
Zhang Han raised his right hand slightly, and a vine behind him snapped with a kacha sound.
The outer layer continued to retreat, leaking out the round and smooth wood at the core. It continued to separate and break off, turning into three pairs of chopsticks that floated into the hands of, and the Mengmeng.
The elegant expression of the Elf King seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
What did that mean?
Face-smacking?
On the other hand, Li Mu and the others smiled without saying a word and remained silent.
The few royal women who were originally smiling, as well as Nina's young sisters, all of their smiles gradually froze and faded away.
The atmosphere was strange, letting them realize that the other party was not that easy to communicate with.
"Oh, I was careless."
The Elf King smiled. "Different places have different cultures. We are more used to using spoons. We have never used this kind of wooden stick before. It feels quite useful."
Zhang Han placed two chopsticks on the plates of the Mengmeng and Zi Yan. It was emerald green, like a golden mushroom.
"Taste this, it's your specialty."
"Oh, yeah." Only then did Mengmeng use his chopsticks to eat it. It tasted good, and then he placed the chopsticks on the dining plate.
Zi Yan did not touch the chopsticks. She knew that it was not time to eat yet.
"Elf King."
Zhang Han looked at the Elf King and said, "You were right to say that we saved Nina and made her future more possible."
After saying this, Nina pursed her lips and slightly lowered her head, her heart in a daze.
"Yes, that's why I'm grateful." The Elf King smiled.
As long as they opened their mouths, it wouldn't be long before they would be able to communicate with each other.
From the corner of her eyes, the Elf King had been watching Yue Wuwei closely.
He had discovered something. He, an old senior, the strongest person present, had not even started to eat.
How come he didn't have the consciousness of an elder at all?
The Elf King felt it was a little strange, and was also pondering about the role of Zhang Hanyang in their team.
He probably wouldn't think of it.
Besides the people on Earth, only Li Mu, Nina, and Mo Wen knew what was going on.
Zhang Hanyang? He was the leader of the team.
"No."
Zhang Han looked straight at the Elf King, and said calmly, "I saved Nina from your hands."
Swish!
The Elf King's face finally looked like it was about to fall off. The warm smile on his face dissipated, and he calmed down.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed that Yue Wuwei was also looking at him. He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and asked, "Why do you say that?"
At this moment, the expressions of the queen and Nina's sisters changed. They were all looking at Zhang Han and some of them were even frowning.
Only Nina's expression was complicated. She lowered her head, not wanting to see the expressions of the Elven Kings sitting across her.
"I remember that the Elf race's tradition is to use the coming of age ceremony. However, choosing a fiance for the coming of age ceremony is not a tradition. Rather, it is a taboo." Zhang Han said: "A few months ago, you spread the news that you will choose her fiance during Nina's coming of age ceremony, and you will also be the one to choose Hu Qi of the Tiger Tally Royal Family. Just by listening to the discussions around us, you can understand what kind of person he is, you pushed your own daughter into a fire pit, didn't you save her from your hands?"
This question calmed the Elf King down.
He fell into a deep silence. He then picked up a cup of wine and drank half of it before placing the cup gracefully on the table.
At this moment, Nina raised her head and looked at her father.
Perhaps there was a sliver of anticipation in his heart as well, because at this moment, he would be able to say and do something for himself.
From the point of view of the dearest, it is possible to take a shortcut to redeem one's feelings.
But he didn't.
"Since Zhang Hanyang has said all that, then I have to say something as well."
The Elf King let out a reluctant smile and said, "Originally, my race has three enemies, and in the competition for some areas, we are at a disadvantage. It is impossible for us to offend any other powers, which would put the entire Elf race in danger, as the king of my race, I am not only thinking about my children. Since you said that I pushed Nina into the fire pit, hehe, did you not think about it? The culprit is not me, but you. "
Speaking to here, the Elf King sighed deeply, "Do I not want their future to be better? However, we are unable to resist the great mountain called the Tiger Tally Royal Family, and we don't have the opportunity either. Since you guys have come and gone, then we will leave as you please. Perhaps, she can become the wife of a hero like Young Master Li Mu, and even resolve the danger of the Tiger Tally Royal Family. This is already the best solution, but unfortunately, there are no more powerful people like the Tiger Tally. If Hu Yuan and his men are powerful, then I can only submit and give her to Hu Qi. "
"A good reason."
Zhang Han clapped twice.
The entire main hall of the King Palace fell into silence as well. Only Zhang Han and the Elf King could speak, everyone listening quietly.
The atmosphere seemed to be moving in another direction.
However, since they had reached this point, the Elf King did not plan to give in to Zhang Hanyang.
You may not be as strong as me, so why should I be so courteous to you?
If it wasn't for Yue Wuwei, he probably would have exploded already.
After Zhang Han clapped his hands, he said in a flat tone:
"Elemental Fairy, in any case, they are still considered a second-tier power in the Sea Dragon Star Region. The Tiger Tally Royal Family is one of the top powers. If you had been tough in the beginning, why not join the tiger-talisman royal family's enemy line alliance? "
"I'm sorry, but my Elemental Elves have never joined any camp. It was like this a few thousand years ago, and now it is the same as well. There are some rules that I won't break, we desire freedom and ease, not endless battles." The Elf King answered directly.
His answer was even faster than before, as if he wanted to explain this matter to Zhang Han clearly.
"Then in your opinion, your biological daughter isn't as important as the traditional rules?" Zhang Han's tone was even more indifferent.
"There are dozens of my children. Even if I were to give one up, it wouldn't be as important as a tradition." The Elf King said indifferently.
BOOM!
Nina's last hope was shattered like she had been struck by lightning.
He stared at the Elf King in a daze. Two seconds later, he lowered his head, his face turning pale.
"The selection of a husband for the coming of age ceremony is also a violation of the tradition. Joining a power is also a violation of the tradition. It is also a violation of the tradition. Do you not know what choice you will make?" Zhang Han frowned slightly.
"Ha, Zhang Hanyang, you really should change seats and think about it with me." The Elf King replied, "If you are the king of your race, perhaps your actions are more decisive than mine. If you were to face my situation, perhaps you would also abandon me."
"Hehehe." Mu Xue could not help but laugh.
"Don't compare me to you." Zhang Han looked at the Elf King, "As your father, you are not qualified, but this is your choice, it has nothing to do with me."
"Since it has nothing to do with you, why are you asking me these trivial things?" The Elf King sighed.
"Because Nina was very wronged, it would also affect my daughter's mood, so we came." Zhang Han said.
"Affect your daughter's mood? Zhang Hanyang, you really know how to joke around. " The Elf King was stunned and shook his head. He did not understand this.
"Elf King."
Mengmeng pursed his lips. After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, you should apologize to Nina. She needs these things."
"Apologize? What did I do wrong? " The Elf King didn't even look at her, he was staring at Zhang Han.
Adding on the fact that Chen Chuan ate first and Mu Xue mocked first, there was also Mengmeng's words.
Finally, the Elf King's first wife could no longer hold it in. She looked at Nina and said,
"Nina, as a princess, when you make friends, not only do you play around with them, but there are some etiquette things you should talk about. Look, just like this senior, who has been sitting there the entire time without talking or eating, and this little friend of yours has already started eating. When Wang and Zhang Hanyang were talking, the others wanted to interrupt, but Young Master Li was still sitting at the side, perhaps he had already made him laugh, and we should talk about something fun."
"No, no, no."
Li Mu was shocked.
Inwardly, he cursed: "F * ck, where are you looking for trouble?"
"I'm not joking around. This, uh, this woman that I've never seen before, don't you dare lie to me."
Hm?
The Elf Doctor Wang's expression changed slightly.
It was as if they were all about to die.
"You don't even let me speak? Why do you have so much to do? " Yue Xiaolou said loudly.
"Little friend, who are you?" One of the princesses immediately retorted.
"He's my father!"
Yue little rascal slammed the table angrily.
Crash! *
Silence fell upon the field.
He saw that the person Yue Xiaolou was pointing at was indeed the old senior!
"Tsk, I think you guys are used to it." Yue Xiaoxiao mocked.
"Looks like I'm somewhat wronged, I'm destined to have to bear it." Zhang Han looked at Nina and said these words.
"Are you feeling wronged?" The Elf King shook his head. "As a daughter of the royal family, she has lived in the clan for all these years and has steadily obtained a lot of cultivation resources. It has always been her tribe's effort. Moreover, it's only marrying an outsider. I don't think that's a grievance. "
"Sigh."
The Elf King sighed and said, "Zhang Hanyang, it's normal for there to be points that we can't see from the same point of view. Perhaps, when you become the king, you will understand them."
"Dad, let's not talk to him anymore. He doesn't know a thing." Mengmeng turned and looked at Zhang Han.
He did not want to hear any more about this from the Elf King.
"It's just that their concepts are different." It's not polite at all. I think that as a Royal family, it's already very sincere of us to allow you to bring your soul pets in. Are you not satisfied with this? "
"This old granny." The Mengmeng squinted his eyes and looked at the First Madam, saying, "We didn't come to the palace either. You insisted on inviting us."
The three words, 'old granny', made the First Lady's face turn green and red. She was choked with sobs.
"Elf King, didn't you say that, because customs are different, one's style of doing things is different as well? In that case, according to your customs, how could others interrupt when you speak?" The Mengmeng said again.
Oh?
Zhang Han immediately felt it was funny.
The corner of Zi Yan's mouth rose by three points.
After all, her daughter had grown up.
"She is my first wife, so she has the right to speak." The Elf King said.
The Fairy King was a person who refused to listen to reason and would always find excuses to speak. Zhang Han knew that the Mengmeng might not be able to beat him.
However ?
"Ah, so it's your first wife. Then I understand why she looks so old." Mengmeng suddenly understood.
"We are indeed very old, at least in numbers. According to our age, you shouldn't call us grandpas or grandpas, and our seniority would be even higher, but we are cultivators, so we shouldn't pay too much attention to that." The Elf King smiled.
"Fine." Mengmeng pouted. "I always thought the Elf King was one of those cool and cool people, but in the end ? Your hypocrisy is extraordinary. "
"Hypocritical?"
The Elf King's face was somewhat stiff.
"That's right, it's very hypocritical. If even a child like me could see it, then I know how fake it is." Mengmeng said in all seriousness, "Elf King, your acting is so poor. If you had one percent of my mother's acting, you wouldn't be so embarrassed."
"You?"
After being scolded by a child, the Elf King could not help but be arrogant.
"The different paths do not work together. Forget it."
Zhang Han opened his mouth again and looked at Nina.
He was also trying to see if he could make the Elf King take the initiative to save some.
However, the opponent was decisive.
Since that was the case, there was no need to say anything else.
You can't wake a man who pretends to be asleep.
With regards to the Elf King's situation, Zhang Han felt that it was even more so.
