Female Transformation: I Run Away When I See the Female Lead
Chapter 17 Master Wu Liu’s disciple?
At the banquet, guests took their seats one after another.
"Who is this person? How dare he walk in with Jiang Yunjiu, who will soon become the Fourth Imperial Consort? And they are so close to each other! This action is simply a blatant slap in the face of the royal family!"
A rich young man dressed in luxurious clothes looked at the two people walking side by side, his face full of surprise and anger, and couldn't help but speak out.
His words broke the low conversation at the banquet and attracted the attention of everyone around him.
At this moment, a loud shout was heard: "His Fourth Prince has arrived!" The voice echoed in the spacious banquet hall.
Everyone immediately turned around and knelt down in unison in the direction Bai Chenye was walking towards. Their movements were neat and swift, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.
The sharp-eyed city lord noticed that among the crowd, Bai Jin and Jiang Yunjiu did not kneel down to salute.
The city lord's expression instantly darkened, and he sternly rebuked, "Kneel down when you see His Highness the Fourth Prince!"
He frowned, feeling very unhappy. He had lived in peacetime and hated the sight of people kneeling before everyone they met. So he responded bluntly, "What a powerful official, Lao Si."
"Should I kneel down to you too?" Bai Jin said to Bai Chenye expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Jiang Yunjiu felt a little excited. She was finally sure that the person in front of her was the one she was looking for.
Bai Chenye seemed much calmer. He bowed respectfully to Bai Jin and said, "Greetings, my royal brother."
"Hmph!" Bai Jin snorted coldly. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, he also understood that he could not change the hierarchy of this society, so he had to give up.
"Greetings, His Majesty the Third Prince." When everyone saw Bai Chenye saluting Bai Jin, they hurriedly changed direction again and knelt down to salute Bai Jin.
"Stand up." Bai Jin looked at the people in front of him worshipping him, but he had to admit that the feeling of being respected and taking advantage of others was indeed quite pleasant.
Bai Jin: That’s not right. Why should I be assimilated?
Just when Jiang Yunjiu was about to greet Bai Jin, Bai Jin was quick to stop her.
After everyone stood up, the most shocked among them were Jiang Yuji, Ye Zipo and others who had seen Bai Jin before.
They could never have imagined that the man who seemed easy to bully in their eyes was actually the third prince of the current emperor, who possessed an extremely noble identity and status.
Now, their hearts were filled with anxiety and uneasiness, fearing that Bai Jin would take revenge on them later. Thinking back to their previous attitude and behavior towards Bai Jin, they felt even more regretful.
Carefully observing Bai Jin's every move, trying to figure out what he was thinking.
Glancing around the seats Bai Chenye had meticulously arranged, Jiang Yunjiu was clearly dissatisfied with some of the arrangements. Led by an elegant maid, she slowly walked towards her designated seat.
Bai Jin's eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Yunjiu and Bai Chenye, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
His warning to Bai Chenye last time obviously didn't work, so this time he decided to take action himself. He stood up, picked up his stool, and without hesitation inserted himself between Bai Chenye and Jiang Yunjiu.
"Fourth Brother, is it okay for me to sit like this?" Bai Jin said with a smile, a hint of provocation in his voice.
Bai Chenye's eyes were fixed on Bai Jin, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate her body and look straight into his heart.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, clearly trying hard to control his emotions. He gritted his teeth and said, "No problem, my brother."
The air around them seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere between the three of them became extremely tense.
The maids watched all this carefully, afraid of accidentally angering any of them.
Jiang Yunjiu maintained her usual elegance and composure, as if all this had nothing to do with her. She just sat there quietly.
Bai Jin raised his eyebrows at Jiang Yunjiu to indicate that he still had to rely on him. Jiang Yunjiu was helpless about Bai Jin's childish behavior and nodded.
In his mind, he dragged 66 and said, "66! What does she mean? Does she think I'm childish?"
66 was helplessly dragged by Bai Jin. "Host, aren't you childish?"
Inadvertently glancing towards the crowd, he saw Gao Hengchen also at the banquet. Gao Hengchen stood there with an upright figure, staring straight at Jiang Yunjiu, his eyes filled with hatred.
Jiang Yunjiu felt a faint glimpse of a fiery gaze upon her. Instinctively, she turned her head and immediately spotted Gao Hengchen, who was looking at her with a half-smile.
Bai Jin soon noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two, and his eyes began to move back and forth between Jiang Yunjiu and Gao Hengchen.
I thought to myself, "The male and female protagonists appear at the same time! Awesome!"
Everyone belatedly realized that the Third Prince, who had disappeared for twelve years, had actually appeared at the banquet. This news was like a huge rock dropped into a lake, instantly causing a huge uproar in the crowd. Everyone knew that the Third Prince's appearance meant something serious was about to happen, and they began to whisper and discuss it.
Someone whispered, "The Third Prince has been missing for so long, and now he's at this banquet, which means he's about to return to the capital. Once he does, the situation in the capital will likely change dramatically."
The people around him nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, yes, the capital is about to change."
Another voice came, "I heard that the Third Prince appeared in Jiangcheng because he came for Jiang Yunjiu, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family." Another person continued, "He specifically said that. After all, they had a special relationship."
Gao Hengchen, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel curious after hearing these discussions.
He subconsciously turned his gaze to the legendary Third Prince. Bai Jin, dressed in a black robe, stood tall and proud, his demeanor extraordinary. The moment their eyes met, they simultaneously glanced at each other, a hint of doubt in each.
Gao Hengchen stared at Bai Jin, feeling that the other person's face looked familiar. He frowned and tried hard to recall it carefully.
An image flashed through his mind, reminiscent of the dark, windy night when he had attacked. Gao Hengchen's eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance and suspicion, and he became increasingly certain that the person before him, Bai Jin, was closely related to the attacker that night.
The moment Bai Jin saw Gao Hengchen, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
I thought, "Oh no! They must have recognized me as the one who put the sack on me that night."
The thought changed, and he secretly comforted himself: "So what? Now I am the noble Third Prince. I don't think he would dare to offend me easily." Thinking of this, Bai Jin's eyes revealed a hint of pride, and he looked at Gao Hengchen without any hesitation.
Bai Chenye said, "This time, I have the honor to invite Master Wu Liu's disciple." As he spoke, he pointed his hand straight at Gao Hengchen and announced to everyone.
When Bai Jin heard Bai Chenye's words, he couldn't help but tremble all over and was shocked.
His eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief.
He never expected that the master he had made up at the beginning would now be used by Gao Hengchen, and he used this forged identity as his vest to deceive everyone.
"Alright, Gao Hengchen, you kid, why do you have to learn something else than others and use other people's vests? Not only did you use it, but you even dared to use this scam on me."
Bai Jin thought angrily in his heart, "You really think I'm easy to fool, don't you? I won't believe it unless I beat you to death later!"
