Time slowly passed, and several days had gone by in a flash since Lin Que bid on Leticia.
Just as Lin Que was sunbathing in the courtyard and chatting in the group as usual, Perseus finally made a move.
"Master, this is a letter sent by Perseus."
Leticia, wearing white stockings and a blue and white maid outfit, walked over from not far away.
A gentle breeze blew past her ears, stirring her soft golden hair.
Her small leather shoes made a pattering sound as they touched the ground.
Handing the letter to Lin Que, Leticia skillfully came behind Lin Que, kneading his shoulders while speaking.
"It seems that the leader of Perseus is already impatient."
"Indeed, it's a bit faster than I expected."
Lin Que opened the envelope and quickly scanned its contents.
In summary, Luos wanted to apologize for the misunderstanding at the auction a few days ago.
For this, he specially hosted a grand banquet at Perseus, wanting to invite Lin Que and Leticia, as the parties involved, to attend.
It seemed a bit nonsensical and out of character for Luos, this profligate son.
But in reality, this reconciliation invitation was not strange.
After all, the current Wu Ming not only possesses Lin Que, this mysterious Pure-blooded Dragon, but also Leticia, the famous Vampire King.
Even excluding Black Rabbit, who cannot easily make a move, their high-end combat power is stronger than most five-digit Communities.
For Perseus, which has been on a downward trend, putting aside some face and reconciling with Wu Ming is better than a stalemate.
However...
"Black Rabbit just left yesterday, and today they sent an invitation to invite the two of us."
Lin Que couldn't help but laugh, "This guy really has no patience at all; he wants to retaliate immediately at the first opportunity."
Thinking carefully, perhaps Black Rabbit's departure wasn't a coincidence either.
In Lin Que's estimation, Black Rabbit should have gone to White Yasha to get a host job from her.
But in reality, Black Rabbit suddenly received an invitation from a six-digit Community yesterday, hoping she could host a Gift Game they organized, which is why she left.
It seems similar, but in essence, it's the difference between active and passive.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Community that invited Black Rabbit should be related to Perseus.
"It seems I'll have to investigate that Community later."
Leticia, standing nearby, also thought of this and asked Lin Que, "Should we leave immediately?"
"No rush, the banquet doesn't start until evening."
Lin Que rubbed the letter between his index finger and thumb, crushing it into powder and tossing it into the air, then looked at Leticia behind him.
Black Rabbit was out today, so no one would disturb them. It was a good opportunity to see how well his little maid was trained.
...
The sun set, and faint starlight appeared in the sky.
In the main hall of the palace at the center of Perseus, Luos sat in the main seat, his gaze wandering over the crowd below.
"Where are the people from Wu Ming? Why haven't they arrived yet!"
After more than ten minutes, he suddenly looked at the Guardian Captain beside him, a fierce expression on his face.
"Didn't you tell me that as long as we held a banquet and sent invitations under the guise of an apology, those two would definitely come!"
"The banquet started an hour ago, and I haven't even seen a shadow of them!"
To make this reconciliation appear more formal, he had indeed invited many guests from other Communities.
Now that the main guests were so late, people in the banquet hall had already started whispering about it.
Even without Seven Emotions and Six Desires Water, facing this embarrassing and shameful scene, a surge of anger still rose in Luos's heart.
"You planned this, you must bring them here today no matter what."
Grabbing the Guardian Captain's collar, Luos growled in a low, threatening voice, "If you can't bring them, you don't need to come back either."
"I... I understand."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the Guardian Captain, who also hadn't expected Lin Que to stand them up, took a step, ready to personally go to Wu Ming to check the situation.
However, before he could take a few steps, the palace doors not far away suddenly opened to both sides.
Under everyone's gaze, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly walked in from outside the door.
"Good evening, Luo'aos."
Lin Que, who was an hour late, greeted the other party, calmly enduring the gazes of everyone at the banquet.
"We encountered some unexpected circumstances and arrived a little late. It shouldn't have caused any trouble, right?"
"It's fine, as long as you two could make it."
Luos stood up and proactively came before Lin Que, looking at him with a forced smile.
"Speaking of which, Leader Lin Que is a Pure-blooded Dragon, isn't he?"
"To delay you for so long, could it be that you encountered a four-digit Demon Lord on the way?"
"Not really."
Lin Que patted Leticia's head beside him, a meaningful smile on his face.
"It's mainly because my little maid is a bit too playful, and she accidentally dragged me into playing too much."
Leticia, beside him, replied somewhat awkwardly, "This was indeed my negligence. Next time, I will bring Master on time."
Next time?
I want to kill you two bastard lovers right now.
As a self-indulgent good-for-nothing, Luos might be lacking in other areas, but when it came to entertainment, he was definitely a professional.
In just an instant, he understood the underlying meaning of Lin Que and Leticia.
While he was suffering internally, anxiously waiting for the two to arrive so as not to lose face,
these two scoundrels were actually having a party at home!
"What's wrong, Luo'aos?"
Lin Que's voice came again, "You look a bit unwell. Did you eat something bad?"
Luos: "???"
Are you here to reconcile, or to pick a fight?
