Chapter 1432: Chapter 1254: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

The day the gang was established finally arrived, and people continuously flowed in and out of the Longya Gang. Long Aixi had already received instructions from Lu Jianxi, requiring him to stay by Xia Dabao’s side to protect her, lest some villains sneak in and create danger.

But as the son of Long San, Long Aixi naturally had to make an appearance, so Xia Dabao was with Long Aixi the whole day.

Everyone who came and saw Long Aixi praised him for his impressive demeanor. Long Aixi, evidently used to such compliments, responded modestly, while Xia Dabao, standing behind him, felt that he was generous and elegant in his interactions, truly a graceful young master.

Among the guests were several beautiful girls of the same age, some accompanied by their parents, and some by their masters. These young ladies, whenever they entered, would gaze at Long Aixi with admiration, their eyes full of peach blossoms.

It was during that time that Xia Dabao, for some reason, suddenly had an epiphany.

Such an outstanding person as Long Aixi, if she only wanted him to be nice to her alone, that would be too selfish. Besides, he didn’t belong to her; why should she expect him to always treat her well?

...

After all the guests were seated, Xia Dabao sat next to Long Jiaxi.

The main event of establishment day was a banquet where all the guests would gather in the backyard to celebrate, and Long Aixi and the others, as the younger generation, were seated towards the back.

Because they were in the back, many girls came over to greet Long Aixi:

"Young Master Long, I’m from XX sect, we just met, do you remember me?" a girl said.

"Young Master Long, I’m from XXX sect. We people of Jianghu love to drink. This cup, may I toast to you?" another girl added.

Xia Dabao admired their forthrightness; indeed, people of Jianghu were bold in love and hate.

Yet Long Aixi sat there upright and proper, "Sorry, I don’t remember... Sorry, I’m not yet fifteen, and my parents do not allow me to drink."

Seeing this, Xia Dabao felt pity, "Just rejecting such a beautiful girl like that?"

However, Long Aixi looked at Xia Dabao for a long while before saying, "Beautiful? Why do I think she’s not even half as pretty as you?"

Drinking her mung bean soup, Xia Dabao suddenly choked.

...

After the banquet ended, it was time for the various Jianghu sects to perform their unique skills, showcasing their strength and also adding to the festivities. Xia Dabao, having a fondness for martial arts, watched with great interest, while Long Aixi, familiar with the Jianghu sects, explained to her, "The ones in red and white over there are from Emei Sect... Next to them are from Kongtong Sect... Those in the center are from Shaolin... Well, Shaolin is more reserved, they prefer not to show off; they probably won’t perform..."

Not far away, Zhou Xianzhi, seeing Xia Dabao and Long Aixi chatting happily, unconsciously drank two extra glasses of wine.

And as alcohol emboldens, when Xia Dabao temporarily left her seat, Zhou Xianzhi walked over, first whispered softly, "Aixi?"

Long Aixi looked up at her and then asked, "What’s up?"

Zhou Xianzhi eyed the vacant seat beside him, intending to sit down, but Long Aixi stopped her, "This seat is for Abao; she’ll be right back."

Zhou Xianzhi had to stand and speak, "The night before last, wasn’t I attacked? You said you would help me find that assailant; have you found him yet?"
