Chapter 247

"Dao Jun, this is my daughter Youruo..."

"Dao Jun, this is..."

Ying Lili muttered to herself: "Of course, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu is jealous. That must be Dao Jun—he really is incredibly handsome. No wonder he already has a Lady; yet others still rush toward him like moths to a flame."

At one corner of the banquet.

Yukinoshita Lady gazed at Yukinoshita Yuki and said: "Yuki, since Dao Jun has arrived, why don't you go greet him properly? Our Yukinoshita family of 347 must uphold its proper etiquette."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Yōna wanted to speak up for her sister, but knew she held little weight at this banquet, and so she stayed silent.

Yukinoshita Yuki's voice was cold and clear: "Yes, Mother."

She rose gracefully and stepped forward to pay her respects.

"Tai Xuan Jun, it's been a long time!"

"It's Yuki," Zhang Taixuan smiled lightly. "No need for formalities—take your seat. The banquet is about to begin!"

With a wave of his hand, everyone sat down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today marks our second gathering as members. Let us drink this cup full. May we still gather together a thousand millennia hence, chatting freely and admiring the splendors of the world."

"Good."

"Dao Jun, please!"

With Zhang Taixuan, the host, speaking, the banquet officially began.

Music of strings and flutes rose, and a troupe of singing girls entered.

The singing girls came from the Qin era world, funded by Ying Zheng; their appearances were exceptional, their dances graceful and captivating.

Huang Rong emerged from the back chamber and sat beside Zhang Taixuan, whispering: "Tai Xuan brother, you've finished your duties."

"You've worked hard," Zhang Taixuan murmured in comfort.

Huang Rong gently shook her head, her eyes brimming with happiness.

Today, the group members gathered in the Tai Xuan Realm—it was her husband's great affair. To preside over it was to affirm her higher status and standing.
