Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Challenge
Li Wenli heard Yuwen Jun’s words, and couldn’t help but smile thinly: "Whether I deserve her or not is my business, worry about yourself."
"What do I have to worry about? Junjun is only with you to spite me. Just wait, after the banquet ends, I’ll take her away with the complete ceremonial escort befitting a Princess Consort."
"Then try it," Li Wenli replied with a casual indifference.
Yuwen Jun was about to mock him further, but then Yuwen Song arrived.
Compared to Yuwen Jun, Yuwen Song seemed as burly and mature as his father.
At over thirty years old, Yuwen Song should not have appeared old, but his three years at war had ravaged him, making him look more like he was in his forties.
Standing next to the twenty-something Yuwen Jun, didn’t he just resemble his father?
Yuwen Song, radiating a fierce energy, laughed heartily upon seeing Yuwen Jun at the doorway: "Ninth brother is so courteous, waiting at the door for your elder brother."
Yuwen Jun turned his head, bowed obediently to Yuwen Song, his earlier arrogance nowhere in sight when facing Li Wenli.
Yuwen Song draped an arm around Yuwen Jun’s shoulder, and led him into the banquet as if he were picking up a small chicken.
Li Wenli glanced at the wolf in sheep’s clothing, his lips curling into a half-smile.
If Yuwen Jun truly dared to propose to the young mistress at the banquet, he wouldn’t mind causing a few deaths right here in the Royal Court.
It’s just a case of breaking the pot now that it’s cracked; who’s afraid?
Fox was harboring lethal intentions quietly, while Bai Junjun also arrived.
She came with Yuwen Luanfei and Wenren Pingting and saw Li Wenli’s stern face as soon as she arrived at the banquet doorway.
Bai Junjun couldn’t help but shudder; she had seen Fox’s expression before. It was the oppressive calm before a storm, and whenever he showed such a look, bases were annihilated.
In her past life, it was such expressions that filled her with lingering fear and made her keep her distance from Fox.
And now here it was again—had someone foolishly provoked him?
However, Li Wenli’s murderous aura vanished quickly; as they approached, Fox returned to his usual nonchalant demeanor.
Yuwen Luanfei didn’t notice anything unusual and happily clapped Li Wenli on the shoulder upon seeing him.
"Wenli, having you here gives me an inexplicable peace of mind. After the royal banquet, I’ll treat you and Junjun to a feast."
"Mm," Li Wenli nodded lazily.
Wenren Pingting also bowed to Li Wenli in thanks.
Li Wenli did not respond.
As Bai Junjun passed him, Li Wenli opened his mouth: "Young mistress..."
"?"
Bai Junjun turned her head in surprise, feeling somewhat uneasy. Fox had not paid her any attention for several days, and his sudden mention now left her feeling unaccustomed.
Li Wenli moved his lips, then shook his head: "Never mind, go inside."
"???" Bai Junjun still looked puzzled.
But as Yuwen Luanfei and his wife had already gone inside, she could not delay further. Bai Junjun patted Fox’s arm: "We’ll talk after it ends."
After saying this, Bai Junjun also hurriedly walked inside.
At that moment, the banquet hall was bright with lights, and the guests mingled happily.
With the announcement "Prince Hanying arrives,"
all the guards and palace maids bowed in greeting, even Yuwen Jun rose from his seat, but only Yuwen Song stayed seated as still as a rock.
Watching Yuwen Luanfei and his wife enter, Yuwen Song, with a smile tinged with arrogance, said: "I am the second brother’s elder, and to not shorten his life, I will remain seated."
Yuwen Luanfei, apparently accustomed to his elder brother’s domineering nature, said nothing, simply bowing: "It’s just a family feast, elder brother, please feel at ease."
Yuwen Song did not expect Yuwen Luanfei to respond this way.
