You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 204 Xiao Yan is jealous and crazy

As if he noticed her gaze, the man looked away, but his face remained tense.

They were quite far away, so Lin Zhaoyue couldn't see his expression clearly, but she felt that he was inexplicably familiar.

She withdrew her gaze and followed Lin Wan to the main seat.

Lin Wan was wearing a light blue dress and a double-breasted outer robe with large, lush rose flowers outlined with gold thread.

Her hair was tied up, revealing her slender, white swan neck.

The golden hairpin on her head swayed gently as she walked.

At this moment, Lin Wan was dignified and graceful, her every move was elegant and natural, and she had the demeanor of a noble lady.

Lin Zhaoyue wore a lake green long dress with thousands of layers of skirt. When she walked, she was as agile as flowing water.

Her long black hair was half tied up and inserted with two emerald green hairpins.

The light green palace belt perfectly outlines the slender waist. The palace belt is embroidered with intricate patterns and hangs with a jade pendant representing the Lin family. The whole thing looks exquisite yet unpretentious.

The girl has bright eyes and a natural smile. Even when she is not smiling, her lips are slightly curled up. Compared with her elder sister's dignified and elegant appearance, the younger sister gives people a feeling of brightness and beauty.

The two of them sat down, and Lin Wan greeted everyone with a gentle voice, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.

"I am very grateful to all my relatives and friends for taking the time to come and welcome my sister. Today we have a banquet and some wine. The most important thing is that everyone can eat happily, have fun, get to know each other, and make friends..."

As soon as Lin Wan finished speaking, a voice came over:

"Since we want to have fun, how about each of us perform a talent?"

"Okay, this is good. Let's each perform a talent. Whoever thinks someone's talent is good will give that person a flower. The one with the most flowers will be the flower king and can make a request to the host. The one who gets the least flowers will be punished."

"Okay, let's play it this way."

Everyone agreed.

The talent shows were only about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Lin Zhaoyue was not very interested in these now. She had been unlearned since childhood. She just followed Xiao Yan's example and pretended to learn a few songs, dance a few dances and draw a few pictures.

Just when she was wondering if she would be bored enough to fall asleep, the words she heard next were like thunder to her ears.

"I'll go first. I'll perform a sword-floating move."

When everyone heard this, they cheered in unison: "Good."

Soon someone came up carrying a row of knives for cutting horse grass. Just by looking at the blades and the light reflected by them, you could tell that they were real sabers.

Amid the cheers and noise of the crowd, a muscular man wearing a wolf-tooth necklace and a turmeric robe walked forward, took off his shoes in front of everyone, and stepped on it barefoot.

Although they were clearly not the ones stepping on the knives, everyone felt as if they were walking on those knives. Everyone was grimacing, but couldn't help but want to watch.

Not until that person left did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, followed by applause from the whole room. The first opening was such a thrilling show, and most people gave flowers. Lin Zhaoyue wanted to give one as well, but was stopped by Lin Wan.

Lin Wan whispered in her ear:

"We can't just give our flowers to boys unless you like them."

The man clearly saw that Lin Zhaoyue was about to stand up. Just as he was looking at Lin Zhaoyue expectantly, Lin Zhaoyue sat back down.

He could only return to his seat with the flowers in his hand.

The purple-robed man in the corner curled his thin lips slightly when he saw this.

He calmly poured a cup of tea. Although it was not a very good tea, it was not bad to drink.

As soon as the man returned to his seat, another voice came over:

"I'm going to show you how to break steel with my bare hands and crush rocks with my chest."

The person who spoke was Zhou Yin. After saying this, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Zhaoyue.

Lin Zhaoyue: …

Looking at Lin Zhaoyue's expression, the man in purple robe chuckled. Although the voice was very light, Lin Zhaoyue still caught it.

She turned her head and saw that the purple-robed man had a slight curl of his lips, and his dark eyes were full of gloating.

Just now they were far away and she couldn't see his eyes clearly, but now, he was only ten steps away from her.

With just that one glance, Lin Zhaoyue was sure that the person was Xiao Yan.

Lin Zhaoyue's eyes paused slightly, then she withdrew her gaze calmly.

She showed no mercy when she stabbed him last time.

In addition, his stomach was bleeding when she kicked him, and it was obvious that he had an old injury. Why did he come to the general's mansion with such a serious injury?

Military intelligence?

Or investigate Big Brother?

Looking at Lin Zhaoyue who had no unusual expression, Xiao Yun frowned.

She didn't recognize him?

Lin Zhaoyue asked Ding Dong to come over and pour tea, and whispered in her ear:

"There's something wrong with that man in purple. Keep an eye on him."

"Yes, girl."

Zhou Yin's ability to split rocks with his bare hands and break rocks with his chest was so spectacular that everyone was cheering and no one was paying attention to this side.

After Zhou Yin finished his performance, he expressed his sincerity:

"Miss Lin, I don't have anything else but endless energy. If Miss Lin needs help repairing the pool, you can call me."

Lin Zhaoyue smiled and responded politely:

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou. If you need anything, I will certainly not hesitate to help you."

The next person was obviously coming for Lin Wan, and Lin Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

This was probably the most ridiculous banquet Lin Zhaoyue had ever seen, with everyone proficient in all kinds of skills.

In the end, only Song Xinian, Cheng Wang, Xiao Yun and a few unfamiliar people were left.

Obviously, those who stayed at the end were all powerful young men in Beizhou City.

Because when it came to them, no one dared to make a fuss.

Cheng Wang put down the white jade cup in his hand, picked up the golden bow beside him, stared straight at Lin Zhaoyue, with a wicked smile on his face, and said:

"Since the flowers in Miss Lin's hand have not been given away for such a long time, Cheng has never liked to talk nonsense. If anyone else wants the flowers in Miss Lin's hand, they can compete with Cheng. If not, Cheng will shoot down five wild geese in exchange for Miss Lin's flowers. How about that?"

After Cheng Wang finished speaking, the surroundings became quiet and no one dared to step forward to challenge him.

As the richest family in Beizhou City, the Cheng family controls the economic lifeline of Beizhou City. They have many industries, and almost every family has more or less cooperation or relationship with the Cheng family.

They can't afford to offend.

Although those gentlemen who had a good impression of Lin Zhaoyue had dissatisfaction and complaints in their hearts, they could only curse her secretly in their hearts at this moment.

At this moment, a man in a purple robe stood up and said with a smile:

"I am Yan Xiao, and I am willing to compete with Brother Cheng."

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.

"Who is this person? How dare he challenge Master Cheng? Does he know who Master Cheng is?"

"I don't know. He looks very unfamiliar. I've never seen him before."

"Could it be the young master of the Yan family who just moved in?"

"Who cares who he is? Now we're going to have a good show. I've never seen anyone so blatantly go against Master Cheng..."

……

Cheng Wang looked at Xiao Yan, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure. He cupped his hands and said:

"Brother Yan is so bold! What do you want to compete with, Brother Yan?"

"I heard that Master Cheng is good at riding and archery. How about we compete in archery?"

These words were undoubtedly a naked provocation to Cheng Wang.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a fake smile:

"Since it's a competition, there must be a winner and a loser. The winner can get the flower in Miss Lin's hand, and the loser... will only have one hand left. Brother Yan, do you dare to bet?"

Xiao Yan also laughed and said:

"Why don't you dare?"

"Okay, okay, Brother Yan invites you."

If someone wants to die, he will help him.

Lin Zhaoyue didn’t know how good Cheng Wang’s archery skills were, but compared to Xiao Yun, he would definitely lose!

Lin Zhaoyue turned the flower in her hand and said:

"Since they are all for the flowers in my hand, it is up to me to decide who to give them to."

"Mr. Cheng, this flower is for you."

Lin Zhaoyue said this as she handed the flowers in her hand to Cheng Wang.

Xiao Yun stared at the flower, his hands hanging by his side clenched into fists, and every inch of his flesh felt sore.

He stared at Lin Zhaoyue, with a layer of ice in his eyes.
