Refining the Mountains and Rivers

d to the throne in the future, she would still be incomparably honored.
If they could marry such a woman, not only would the honor and wealth of their families be secure but their own statuses would rise by several levels.

But now, before they did anything, this scene appeared in front of them.
What was the meaning of this?

Was this a demonstration or were they showing off?

As they looked at Qin Yu, their cold eyes filled with dark intent!

They didn’t believe that this could be Lei Xiaoyu’s idea.
They believed that Qin Yu was deliberately doing this as a warning for them to stop pursuing her.

Hum hum!

Interesting, how interesting!

Some time ago, Lei Qianjun also gave Qin Yu a similar judgment, But in the eyes of these elite youths, the meaning of ‘interesting’ was clearly different.

However, even though they coldly sneered inwardly, it was all inwardly.
When Lei Xiaoyu and Qin Yu entered the stage, their momentum was too great.
No one dared to do anything for a time.

The atmosphere in the hall changed from warm to quiet.

Lei Jinyun frowned.
As the host of today’s banquet, if he were to be outdone by Lei Xiaoyu on the floor, he would become a joke once news of it spread.

He restrained his mood and smiled as he stepped forward.
“Little sister, is this the friend you brought home? He really is a handsome and intelligent young man!”

Handsome and intelligent; these really were words of praise.
But in this situation, these words had a different meaning as they fell into the ears of others.

For instance, he was someone who relied on his face to eat.
Or to be more direct…a little gigolo!

Many eyes glanced at Lei Jinyun’s affectionate smile, thinking that today’s banquet really wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

The elite youths with slightly unnatural expressions started to calm down.
They smiled and looked over with condescending expressions.

The atmosphere in the hall changed once more.

Gu Wan released Lei Jinyun’s arm.
She smiled and walked forward in welcome.
“Little sister, you finally arrived.
I have several close friends that I wanted to introduce you to.
Hurry and come with me.”

As she spoke she bowed towards Qin Yu.
“Sir Qin, talented young elites have gathered from all over.
You might as well come and greet them.
Perhaps they can be of help in the future.”

In such a situation, after Gu Wan expressed her position, it was impossible for Lei Xiaoyu to refuse her.
Even if she wasn’t happy with her sister-in-law’s actions, she couldn’t allow outsiders to see disharmony within the Lei Family.

She glanced at Qin Yu and smiled, nodding, “Then I’ll have to bother sister-in-law.”

Qin Yu was speechless.
It seemed that before he could even do his job as a shield, he was about to be made unemployed.
However, he soon discovered that even though he left Lei Xiaoyu’s side, he began to have an effect.

One, two, three…from all around, vague eyes glanced at him.
There were some curious people, but also several female cultivators who were sizing him up.

But those with the strongest gazes came from the group of youths that had good looks and elegant demeanors.
Were these the people Lei Xiaoyu spoke of, the ones that were annoying her? They weren’t too bad!

No one imagined that right now, Qin Yu was still in the mood to comment on others.

To deal with a person, one didn’t necessarily need to directly face them.
Sometimes, neglecting them was the most powerful slap to the face.
This was particularly true at today’s lively banquet.
So when Lei Xiaoyu was guided into a group of flattering women by Gu Wan, the eyes that scanned over Qin Yu started to withdraw one-by-one, each person continuing with their previous conversation.

There were several young misses in the crowd who were normally bold and unrestrained.
On other days, they might be interested in learning more about Qin Yu, but today they all remained silent.
No one who had the qualifications to come here today was stupid, nor did any of them lack self-control.

So, Qin Yu became an invisible person.
He stood in the luxurious and lively banquet hall, but he didn’t blend in with anything.

In truth, Qin Yu didn’t care about these things at all.
Because to him the process of dressing up had wasted an entire day.
He was glad to have some quiet time to himself to ponder over some cultivation issues.

So he took a glass of wine and walked over to a corner of the hall.
He took a seat there and remained silent.

While he thought, whenever he came across a problem he would furrow his eyebrows a little and take a sip.

Qin Yu’s mind was focused on himself, but when this scene fell into the eyes of others, it had a different meaning.

Many people glanced at each other and revealed playful looks.
But some others responded differently.
Although they treated Qin Yu coldly and he couldn’t be considered anything, he was still brought here by Lei Xiaoyu.

Treating him coldly was the same as ruining Lei Xiaoyu’s honor.
Although everyone still believed that Lei Jinyun was the likeliest to inherit the throne, there were no absolutes in life.
It was best to be cautious.
Why did they have to offend Lei Xiaoyu just because of some minor matters?

But before any of them could do anything, Lei Xiaoyu coldly interrupted the woman in front of her.
“Sorry, but I must go.”

Without caring for Gu Wan’s stiff complexion, she returned to Qin Yu’s side.
She revealed an apologetic expression and said in a low voice, “Big Brother Qin, this banquet is boring.
Let’s leave first.”

“Ah?” Qin Yu looked up at her.
“Xiaoyu, what did you say?”

Lei Xiaoyu realized that Qin Yu really didn’t hear her.
She revealed a strange expression.
“Big Brother Qin, what were you doing?”

Qin Yu stood up.
“I’ve been thinking over some cultivation problems.
In truth, I’m not too familiar with situations like today…mm, it’s a waste of my time.”

After enduring it, he finally spoke out the truth in his heart.

Lei Xiaoyu had no idea whether to laugh or to cry.
As everyone watched, her face shook.
She almost couldn’t hold it in any longer…

In the end, Qin Yu had only been thinking about cultivation.
From start to finish, he never paid attention to anything around him.

Although this situation wasn’t too right, she couldn’t help but smile.
As she thought, this was her big brother Qin.
If others knew, would they vomit blood in sorrow?

“What is it?”

Oh no.
Hearing Qin Yu say this, she wanted to laugh.
She held it in with effort and said, “I also think it ’s meaningless.
How about we leave first?”

Qin Yu had no opinion about this.
“Let’s go.”

The two people stood up and started walking away.

Lei Jinyun was placed in a difficult situation.
Anyone watching would think that Lei Xiaoyu was expressing her dissatisfaction and not giving face to her big brother.
If the two left like this, losing face was one thing, but all the preparations he made today would be meaningless.

“Xiaoyu!”

Lei Xiaoyu came to a stop, her eyes calm.
“Big brother, what is it?”
