Dou Po: Start with a bronze treasure chest

Chapter 141 Dinner

Imperial capital, Nalan family.

Tonight's Nalan Mansion is quite lively.

Ever since Nalan Jie became seriously ill, although everything in the Nalan Mansion appeared to be normal, it had never seen such a lively scene.

Until today, Nalan Mansion has regained some popularity.

All the dignitaries of the imperial capital came in carriages, brought their own gifts, and stepped into the gate of Nalan Mansion amidst the greetings of you coming and going.

Mu Li was among the people of the Mittel family, but his white hair was still very conspicuous. Nalan Yanran, who was standing at the door, saw him at first sight.

"Mr. Murray!"

Mu Li nodded to Nalan Yanran, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and looked up and down. The other party's outfit today is quite bright, which is extremely inconsistent with the pure and ascetic practice atmosphere of Yunlanzong.

But considering celebrating the old man's birthday, it's understandable.

"Sister Yanran, you are so beautiful today."

Yafei held Muli's arm and said with a smile.

Nalan Yanran's expression was a little stiff. She had only guessed about the relationship between Yafei and Mu Li before, but today the other party had such an intimate contact in a formal occasion, and the relationship was really like that.

"Miss Yafei."

After saying hello, Yafei was led into the door by Mu Li before he had time to exchange more pleasantries.

Nalan Yanran looked at Mu Li's back in frustration, and the other party didn't seem to want to talk to him more.

But thinking about it, since the other party doesn't have that kind of thought for him, he naturally wouldn't talk to him too much. The friendship between the two is actually not that deep.

It's all just wishful thinking.

Nalan Yanran pinched the corner of her bright red clothes, suddenly feeling a little cramped.

Why do I wear this outfit...

If I change back to the previous young suzerain's costume, I think I will be more relieved.

Because of that, I can find reasons to say that I want to practice as purely as my teacher.

Mu Li didn't expect Nalan Yanran to have so much drama in his heart, he just said hello and then sat down normally.

As for whether the relationship between Yafei and himself hurt Nalan Yanran's little heart, he was not responsible for it.

He hadn't seen Yun Yun yet, so he couldn't say anything about Nalan Yanran, a young girl.

The dinner was held according to the procedure, and the rules were not complicated. First, Nalan Jie came out to thank everyone for their arrival, and then made a speech representing the voice of the Nalan family, saying that he had recovered, and that the pillars of the Nalan family were still standing. Metaphoric meanings such as whether the project cooperation is deepened.

Although every sentence in the words was very humble and polite, but when they came out of Nalan Jie's mouth, he unconsciously carried a domineering demeanor.

All of you here are human beings, and they also understood Nalan Jie's meaning, and made a decision in their hearts to deepen cooperation with Nalan's family and make up for the previous negligence due to some rumors.

The Mittel family is very calm, because of Mittel Tengshan's long-term and unique vision, even though the power of the Nalan family has gradually declined in recent years, he still chose to maintain the cooperation between the two families, and even sacrificed for it. some interest.

Fortunately, the result is good. The Nalan family is getting back together again, which is a good thing for the Mittel family.

Standing behind Nalan Jie, Nalan Yanran looked at Grandpa's tall and straight figure, his lion-like eyes looked around at everyone, raised his glass and talked, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Although she is the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, she is only a Young Sect Master after all. Although she is above all the disciples, she does not have much power to speak.

Because my teacher also pays more attention to cultivation, most of the affairs of the sect are managed by the elders.

And Nalan Yanran's right to speak comes from her teacher Yun Yun, and she can't say much to Grand Elder Yun Leng.

Moreover, as the young master of the Misty Cloud Sect, she does not belong to the family in a certain sense. She has to consider Misty Yun Sect first, rather than borrowing the resources of the Misty Yun Sect to support the family.

Therefore, Nalan Jie's move of letting his granddaughter join the Yunlan Sect was actually not a good move. Go to Xiao's house without authorization to withdraw the engagement.

In a sense, the matter of retiring the engagement trampled on Nalan Jie's old face, and ignored the majestic reputation of Nalan Mansion.

Unless Nalan Yanran becomes suzerain, there will be very little help to the Nalan family.

Fortunately, everything is getting better now, Nalan Jie recovers physically, and the power of Nalan's family will gradually recover.

The little princess Yaoyue, representing the royal family, was sitting at a table with a group of pharmacists who were acquainted with each other on weekdays.

Due to royal etiquette, Yaoyue was not unruly, she sat quietly in her seat, but her gaze was erratic, she didn't care about that old man Nalanjie at all, but looked at the white man who was seated in the Miter family seat. hair youth.

During today's pharmacist competition qualification test, the two met. Mu Li's excellent refining technique amazed everyone, and he was the most efficient so far.

So Yaoyue and other pharmacists naturally deepened their impression of Mu Li, thinking that this pharmacist from Black Rock City was a very strong opponent.

Liu Ling sat next to Yaoyue's seat, holding a folding fan and gently shaking it, but her eyes were quietly looking at Mu Li like the people around her.

The appearance of this white-haired young man suddenly lowered his chances of winning the championship. Originally, with his third-grade alchemy skills, he should be the champion.

What's even more strange is that this person named Mu Li didn't find any background at all in the information, but it was confirmed that he did acquaint the vice president of the Alchemist Guild in Black Rock City.

At this dinner party, the president of the Two Associations of Black Rock City came, and it was through Mu Li's relationship.

"Here, I would like to thank one person in particular, that is Mr. Mu Li who cured my injury!"

At this time, Nalan Jie held up his wine glass and raised his hand to Mu Li who was sitting on Mittel's seat.

Mu Li stood up in response and gave a glass in return.

"Master Nalan is very polite. I also admire you for being able to survive the pain of healing. It should be said that you defeated the illness yourself."

"Hahaha! Mr. Muli is too modest. Without you, I'm afraid my old bones would have been buried underground!"

While the two were complimenting each other, all the dignitaries present looked sideways at the white-haired young man. They still don't know who the person who cured Nalan Jie was.

I didn't expect it to be such a young man!

Yaoyue and Liu Ling were also taken aback at this moment, and their gazes towards Mu Li changed again.

Before, they only regarded Mu Li as a strong opponent of the same generation, so no matter how much they paid attention to, they would not really take Mu Li seriously, but now the opponent is actually the person who cured Nalan Jie's branding poison. You must know that the fifth-order poison , but even Liu Ling's master Furukawa was helpless!

Could it be that he...

Liu Ling suddenly remembered the diagnosis that Master said earlier - "No one can get rid of this poison except the strange fire."

Mu Li has a strange fire!

With this guess in her heart, Liu Ling couldn't calm down for a long time, and couldn't help but clenched her hand holding the folding fan.

Mu Li looked at the eyes of everyone present, looked around, and sat down calmly.

His purpose of attending this dinner party is actually very simple, it is to take advantage of the opportunity of the Nalan family to revive the family's prestige, to promote his own reputation.

Just like what was written in Three Kingdoms, the gap between a famous person and an unknown person is huge.

With fame, it will be much more convenient to do many things in the future. If you have fame and strength, then this person is definitely not an ordinary person, and he will definitely accomplish a lot in the future.

Nalan Jie's words gave Mu Li a double reputation.

The first level is that he has the great favor of the Nalan family behind him, and the second level is that the opponent's alchemy skills are extraordinary, and his own ability is very strong.

Frank and Otto were sitting in ordinary seats, and when they saw Mu Li and Nalan Jie talking and laughing, they immediately slapped their thighs.

"Little friend Mu Li, he actually..."

The faces of the two were flushed with excitement, attracting strange stares from the people around them.

"You two know Mr. Muli?"

"Ahem, little Mu Li... Mr. is representing our Black Rock City Apothecary Branch this time."

Otto couldn't hold back at first, showing off to the people around him.

"It turns out that Mr. Mu Li came from the Alchemist Branch of Black Rock City. Disrespect and disrespect!"

The people sitting on the side cast kind eyes one after another. With Nalan Jie's words just now, everyone who wants to have a good relationship with Mu Li should at least get to know each other first.

Seeing her teacher's smug attitude and bragging to everyone about her acquaintance with Mu Li, Lin Fei immediately pursed her lips.

It's really good at bragging. When I first met, I didn't know who was going to drive him downstairs.

Lin Fei thought, and turned her eyes to Mu Li again, but she couldn't help seeing the red-haired woman beside him.

Almost subconsciously, Lin Fei felt ashamed.

What a pity, if I had been braver back then, maybe I would be standing beside Mu Li now.

But no matter whether she was facing Little Doctor Immortal or Yafei, the pride in Linfei's heart was broken, and she didn't even have the courage to fight.

Xue Mei at the side seemed to have seen the loss of her best friend, but she didn't say anything to comfort her, because her mood was also complicated.

Just like a man sees a peerless beauty and wants to possess her, a woman sees a peerless beauty and wants to possess her.

It's just that I know I'm not worthy, and I don't even have the courage to take that step.

In fact, the first time I met Mu Li was the best opportunity, but it was a pity that I was ruined by that stinky uncle Otto!

Xue Mei looked at Otto who was still eloquent, and snorted softly.

Accompanied by a burst of accompaniment, groups of charming dancers walked out, and the dinner program officially began.

Mu Li ate and drank in a relaxed manner, chatting casually with the people who came up to chat, showing an approachable attitude.

Yaoyue stepped forward with a cup in her hand, and was about to put on a princess air, but Mu Li had already spoken.

"Kids can't drink."

Yaoyue froze for a moment, then her face turned red.

"I'm not a child anymore!"

With a calm smile on his face, Mu Li did not speak. After raising his glass as a signal, he drank all the wine in the glass.

"You are Yaoyue, the little princess of the Jia Ma Empire?"

"Yes, yes!"

Faced with Mu Li's indifferent attitude, Yaoyue felt a very oppressive aura, as if it only existed between the two of them, and she couldn't hold back a word of what she wanted to say before.

Liu Ling on the side didn't feel the pressure at all, because Mu Li didn't look at him.

"Quite cute."

Mu Li said something, then stood up and walked to Liu Ling.
