In the dining room, there were a few old and shrewd landscape paintings. It was obvious that they were masterpieces.Lu Chen was soon deeply attracted by one of the diagrams.
It was just one glance, but it felt as if his mind was about to merge with the painting.
Every single white crane seemed to appear in front of his eyes. He could even faintly hear the cry of a crane, and it felt extremely strange.While Lu Chen was secretly praising, he urged his Spiritual Sense to quietly spread to every corner of the dining hall.
Indeed!
Soon, he discovered something.This place was actually supported by a special talisman, and was also a talisman formation technique.
The little fox had already noticed Lu Chen"s suspicions. Knowing that Lu Chen was curious, it quickly explained the situation to him.
The little fox told Lu Chen that there was an auxiliary barrier around the dining hall.
The barrier that was not too complicated had the effect of increasing one"s appet.i.te, causing one"s appet.i.te to soar.Wu Siqi had lost her appet.i.te after being infected by the Shadow Snake Gu, so the arrangements here had obviously come about as a result.
However, from another perspective, it showed the Wu Clan"s power in the art of formations and runes.Moreover, this could also explain why someone would scheme against Wu Siqi in such a way.
In order for the Wu family to nurture Wu Siqi, they must have put in a lot of effort. Perhaps there were people who hoped that she wouldn"t grow up, which was why they secretly tried to kill her.
The little fox even gave him an inference.The mastermind behind this could very well be someone from the Wu family!
Hearing these words, Lu Chen was shocked, but at the same time, he expressed his understanding.
This kind of feud between Wealthy Cla.s.ses was usually a dispute over benefits. For the sake of one"s own interests, one would often be able to do anything.
As the saying goes, a family"s infamy cannot be made public.Presumably, Wu Siqi had guessed these things and didn"t say them out loud.
Zhang Junwei was extremely talented, and in such an atmosphere, he was more likely to be affected by the barrier, thus his reaction was naturally even more exaggerated.
He stared at a plate of cuc.u.mber with his eyes fixed on it. His right hand had already grabbed the chopsticks.
In Lu Chen"s impression, Zhang Junwei self-proclaimed is a real carnivore.He probably didn"t even realize at this moment that he was actually so interested in vegetables?
Under Uncle He"s guidance, a table of dishes was served one after another.
Lu Chen was Wu Siqi"s savior and had even given her two array formation jade talismans. No matter what, Wu Siqi wanted him to be the head of the group.
Lu Chen refused for a while, then sat down at the second seat.
He did not want to make a ruckus.
As expected of one of the nine n.o.ble families of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
Just like what Wu Siqi had said before, she was indeed a good dish that took up an entire table.All kinds of expensive dishes had their own fragrance.
I"m afraid this section alone is expensive."I"m not very well-prepared. I wonder what kind of taste Doctor Lu would like."
"Come, Doctor Lu, have a taste of this steamed Yangtze River knife fish cooked by famous Sichuan cuisine master Long. Do you like it?"
As Wu Siqi spoke, she picked up a piece of fresh fish and sent it into Lu Chen"s bowl."Thank you!"
Lu Chen didn"t stand on ceremony and carefully tasted it. As expected, the taste was exquisite. No wonder it was so sought after and the price was expensive.When He Qian noticed Wu Siqi"s gaze on Lu Chen, she couldn"t help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.
She could tell that her cousin was not only grateful to Lu Chen, but she also had other intentions for him.
In his impression, Wu Siqi had never lied to men.
In the words of an ordinary person, she was an icy beauty.
Yet, when he was facing Lu Chen, he did not feel this way at all.
Especially at this moment, her att.i.tude towards Lu Chen and her gaze deeply betrayed her thoughts.
At this moment, the gatekeeper"s voice sounded again."Miss... There was a woman in red outside the gate. She said that she was from Murong and had come to find Mr Lu … "
"The Mu Rong family …" Wu Siqi frowned as a trace of displeasure flashed across her face.
He had just sent off a Duanmu family, and it hadn"t even been twenty minutes yet. Why would there be a Mu Rong family here?Wu Siqi"s gaze turned towards Lu Chen, as if waiting for his answer.
From the looks of it, if Lu Chen said no, she would immediately get the concierge to send him away.
The Murong Family was an existence ranked at the top of the nine great families. They were very upright and had good relations with most of the families.He even had connections with the Wu Clan.
However, whether she saw him or not, Wu Siqi would still leave it to Lu Chen to decide.
When He Qian heard that the woman in red was from the Mu Rong family, she suddenly thought of someone.He also looked at Lu Chen with a complicated expression.
"It should be a friend coming over!"
Noticing the gazes of the two, Lu Chen said awkwardly.
Who else other than the woman in the red dress, who else could it be other than Murong Xin`er?But why would she come to Wu Siqi"s place at this time?
Could it be that something urgent happened?
If that was the case, why don"t you just give me a call?
"Oh!" Doctor Lu"s friend! "
When Wu Siqi heard this answer, she gave Lu Chen a meaningful look before instructing the gatekeeper:
"Since Doctor Lu"s friend is here, let"s invite her over! "Don"t be negligent."
When Uncle He heard that Lu Chen"s friend was coming over, he immediately ordered a servant who was waiting outside to get a pair of chopsticks.
In less than a minute, under the guidance of the gatekeeper, a woman in a red dress walked over.Who else could it be other than Murong Xin"er?
She walked up to Lu Chen, looked him up and down, then worriedly asked:"Big Brother Lu, are you alright?" Hearing that you are in danger, I rushed over immediately. "
"Big Brother Lu, did the Duanmu family send someone to look for you? They didn"t do anything to you, right?"
It was her!
Brother Lu...
She was shouting so intimately!
Wu Siqi did not say anything, but her brows were knitted tightly.Having met with Murong Xin`er a few times, Wu Siqi naturally knew this Mu Rong family"s second young miss as well as a lot of things about her.
It was just a single bite from Brother Lu and yet he was still so intimate. This caused her to feel somewhat unhappy in her heart.When Wu Siqi looked at He Qian, she discovered that there was a trace of displeasure on her face, but she didn"t say anything. Instead, she felt rea.s.sured.
At the very least, this meant that his cousin was probably just a wishful thinking.
But then again, which daughter wouldn"t be tempted by such an outstanding man?
Although she had never thought of arguing with her cousin He Qian for, this time, Wu Siqi felt that she had to fight for it.
"Xin Er, I"m fine!" They only suspected that I was a member of the Lu family. You know that I have no relationship with the Lu Family of the nine great families. "
"They just left twenty minutes ago. Is that why you"re looking for me?"Lu Chen felt that the surrounding atmosphere wasn"t right, and couldn"t help but bitterly smile in his heart.
However, no matter what Murong Xin`er"s purpose for rushing over like this was, Lu Chen was still a little touched.
Therefore, he simply explained it to Murong Xin"er to rea.s.sure her.
Lu Chen couldn"t help but sigh.These nine big families all have one LAN?
It was no longer a private matter since his position was exposed to the public at all times.
This feeling was not good at all.
