Chapter 42 Invited to the Liu Family Banquet
At noon the next day.
Liu Ruyan suddenly sent a magic letter to Lu Ming.
The content of the letter was to invite him to a dinner party.
It is said that many nobles and celebrities from the empire will be present at that time, and he hopes that Lu Ming will not refuse and attend on time.
"Dinner party?" Lu Ming fell into thought and hesitated.
First of all, before the freshman competition, Liu Ruyan was the almighty goddess of the academy, while Lu Ming was a despised necromancer.
At that time, the two were not familiar with each other and had no intersection at all.
Now, Lu Ming defeated Liu Ruyan and became the Rookie King, and the two of them became friends reluctantly.
But in Lu Ming's opinion, even so, their relationship was just average.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan would take the initiative to invite me to the banquet.
Lu Ming didn't know whether all this was because Liu Ruyan had developed a crush on him or because her family wanted to win him over.
After all, Liu Ruyan is known as the genius goddess of space magic. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely become a magician.
The fact that Lu Ming was able to defeat Liu Ruyan in public shows that his talent and strength are only getting stronger.
In the eyes of most people, Lu Ming will definitely be able to become a magician.
Countless forces want to win over such a genius, and the Liu family is no exception.
If it were any other magician, faced with the invitation from the school beauty goddess, he would probably participate.
Not only can you please the school belle, but you can also make friends with the powerful and influential at the banquet, which will lead to better development in the future.
However, Lu Ming was born into a commoner family, and all his energy was focused on cultivation, so he was not interested in participating in these noble banquets.
As the successor of the Demon Emperor and the God of Undead, Lu Ming does not need to please anyone.
Just when Lu Ming wanted to refuse, Selina also sent Lu Ming a magic letter, asking him to get ready and attend the Liu family's banquet.
"Teacher Selina was also invited?"
Lu Ming was a little surprised. Although he didn't understand what was going on, since Selina had spoken, he had no choice but to agree.
……
Three days later in the evening, the lights were turned on in the city's bustling streets, and people of all kinds were walking around, filling the air with a festive atmosphere.
Lu Ming strolled alone in the hustle and bustle, and couldn't help but recall the awkward night with Selina in the trial field a few days ago.
Perhaps to avoid bringing up the past, Selina chose to act alone, which forced Lu Ming to go to the dinner hosted by the Liu family alone.
Lu Ming walked slowly along the crowded street. His pace was neither hurried nor impatient, as if he was maintaining a strange sense of distance from the world around him.
Soon, he arrived at his destination - a luxuriously decorated restaurant located in the city center.
The exterior of this restaurant is magnificent, and every window reveals the splendor of the interior, undoubtedly highlighting the extraordinary scale of tonight's banquet.
In front of the restaurant, exquisite carriages stopped one after another. The guests who got off the carriages were dressed in gorgeous clothes and chatted and laughed. The servants who accompanied them stood respectfully by the side, opened the doors for them and handed them cloaks.
All of these guests were prominent figures in the city; some held scepters, some wore medals, and their every move exuded confidence and dignity.
In comparison, Lu Ming's appearance seemed particularly plain.
He did not ride in a carriage, and his clothes were simple as usual, which was in sharp contrast to the luxury around him.
Standing among such a group of people, he is like an uncut gem. Although inconspicuous, he has his own unique charm.
Facing the situation before him, Lu Ming did not show any inferiority or envy.
To him, external wealth and glory are far less important than inner peace and freedom.
He walked calmly through the guests dressed in gorgeous clothes and headed straight for the door of the restaurant.
When the receptionist saw him, he was stunned for a moment, obviously surprised by his simple attire.
One of the receptionists quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
Considering the occasion, he still said politely: "Sir, today is the Liu family's private banquet. It is not the place for you to come. Please leave?"
Lu Ming looked calm and spoke slowly, "I came here at the invitation of Miss Liu Ruyan of the Liu family. This is her magic letter."
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite magic letter from his pocket and handed it to the greeter.
However, the receptionist didn't even glance at it, and threw the letter on the ground, saying disdainfully: "Boy, I was considering the presence of so many important people today, so I wanted to give you a favor and send you away, but I didn't expect you to install it!"
"You dare to use a fake letter to try to sneak in!"
"Do you really take us for fools?"
"Humph, how could Miss Liu invite you dressed like this?"
The receptionist judged Lu Ming by his appearance and thought that he was just an ordinary person who was trying to sneak into the banquet to make friends with the rich and powerful. So he took a tough attitude and threatened: "I advise you to leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
This scene attracted the attention of some guests around, and they all cast curious glances at him.
Several nobles glanced at Lu Ming with disdain and ridicule on their faces. One of the men in fancy clothes sneered, "Young people nowadays really don't know their place. They actually dare to pretend to be guests of the Liu family."
"That's right, I don't know whether to live or die!"
Someone echoed.
Lu Ming's face darkened slightly, and he tried to explain again: "What I said is all true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Liu Ruyan to come out and confirm it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the nobles around him burst into laughter. One of the ladies covered her mouth and laughed, "This young man is really funny. The eldest lady of the Liu family is so noble, why would she pay attention to a commoner like you?"
Seeing that Lu Ming still refused to leave, seriously affecting the order of the banquet, a person who looked like a manager stood up and said coldly: "In this case, don't blame us for being rude."
As he waved his hand, several guards quickly surrounded him, ready to take Lu Ming away by force.
The people around began to talk about it, and many of them looked like they were enjoying a good show, thinking that Lu Ming was about to suffer.
However, to everyone's shock, Lu Ming's eyes were wide open, and with a wave of his hand, the guards fell to the ground one after another.
Taking the situation into consideration, although he did not cast any magic or demonic energy, nor did he cause any fatal injuries, as a demon cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, his physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, equivalent to that of an apprentice knight, and ordinary guards could not resist at all.
This scene shocked everyone present. The nobles who had originally laughed at Lu Ming now had expressions of astonishment and confusion on their faces.
No one expected that such a seemingly insignificant person would possess such amazing strength.
Suddenly, someone gloated: "This kid is finished! A civilian dared to cause trouble at the entrance of the Liu family banquet and even injured someone. He will definitely have to pay the price."
"Yes, this guy is dead!"
……
Just when everyone was looking at Lu Ming like fools, thinking that it would be difficult for him to leave alive today, Liu Ruyan just got off the carriage.
As Liu Ruyan had a lot of things to do, she came to the restaurant just now.
Liu Ruyan's appearance was like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
She was wearing a lavender long dress with delicate silver thread patterns embroidered on the hem, like wisteria flowers in the moonlight, elegant yet mysterious.
Her hair was carefully braided into an intricate bun, adorned with a few tiny pearl hair accessories that contrasted beautifully with her fair skin.
Her eyes were like deep lake water, clear with a barely perceptible sharpness. There was a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, and her every move revealed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
With Liu Ruyan's arrival, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
Her eyes were as sharp as torches as she walked straight through the crowd until she reached Lu Ming.
Seeing the guards wailing on the ground, she frowned slightly, but soon she noticed the anger in Lu Ming's eyes and the invitation letter that was casually thrown away in his hand.
All this made her understand.
"Lu Ming, you're here." Liu Ruyan's voice was gentle but firm. She walked to Lu Ming and greeted him with a smile.
Among the people around her, the nobles greeted her one after another, trying to attract her attention, but Liu Ruyan just nodded politely and then focused all her attention on Lu Ming.
"What happened?" she asked, her tone full of concern.
Lu Ming told her the whole story without exaggeration or concealment.
After listening to his narration, Liu Ruyan's face darkened noticeably. She turned to look at the guards and stewards, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.
"How dare you treat my guests like this?" Liu Ruyan's voice was soft but carried unquestionable majesty.
Upon hearing this, the guards and stewards turned pale with fear and immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "Miss, we were wrong. We didn't know he was your guest. Please forgive us!"
Liu Ruyan snorted coldly and did not respond immediately. Instead, she turned to Lu Ming and said, "Lu Ming, I am sorry for wronging you. I apologize to you on behalf of the Liu family. I will deal with these people properly."
Lu Ming shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need to take it to heart: "Miss Liu, it's okay. I just hope that there won't be such misunderstandings in the future."
Liu Ruyan nodded, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes. She immediately ordered the servants around her: "Take these people away and deal with them according to the house rules. Also, send someone to clean up the scene so as not to affect the interest of other guests."
After dealing with these trivial matters, Liu Ruyan reached out to Lu Ming again: "Lu Ming, come with me, let's start tonight's banquet."
Lu Ming nodded and followed Liu Ruyan into the restaurant.
"Who is this person?"
"Why can a commoner be valued by the eldest lady of the Liu family?"
"Who knows?"
……
The nobles present witnessed all this and were curious about Lu Ming's identity and strength, and made many speculations.
This small incident not only won Lu Ming a seat at the Liu family dinner, but also made Liu Ruyan's image more popular.
