Chapter 496: You Doubt Me?
Qin Lingyan’s coming-of-age ceremony was held at the Thousand Aroma Restaurant as Bai Xiaofei’s previous renovation of this place had made it very suitable for holding this kind of party .
The arrival of Bai Xiaofei’s group was undoubtedly an additional highlight to the party . Not to mention him who was of VIP status, the appearance of Hu Xian’er and the girls alone was enough to surprise everyone .
People would believe it if someone said this was a banquet held by Blossom Pavilion!
Moreover, to Bai Xiaofei’s surprise, not only his group, but Xue Ying and Lin Li were also invited . Even the frail-looking Luo Han was present…
This heightened his anxiety .
“You have come . ”
The dress that Qin Lingyan wore was the one that Bai Xiaofei gave her . Coincidentally, it was also sky blue… To be more precise, the dress and his suit were a couple set from the Vivid Wing Chamber!
Qin Lingyan didn’t know this was a coincidence . She thought Bai Xiaofei deliberately meant for this to happen and was pleased by this . Seeing her expression as well as the couple outfits, Hu Xian’er and the other girls were inwardly annoyed . Who would have thought it would be such a coincidence?!
Receiving their glares, Bai Xiaofei made an innocent face . You guys bought this suit for me!
“We aren’t late, are we?”
Ignorance meant innocence, so no one could complain . Also, no one else should be speaking aside from Bai Xiaofei on this occasion . It wasn’t a problem no matter how weak he was in the Demon of Illusion, but outside, he was a well-deserved center .
“Of course not, it has just begun . ” Smiling at Bai Xiaofei, Qin Lingyan looked very different today, with less ice and more gentleness .
“We are good on our own . Go take care of your other guests, we are not strangers . ” After some courtesy, Bai Xiaofei tried to give himself some space .
Qin Lingyan didn’t make it difficult for him . She softly assented and left to entertain others .
“You’ve finally come!” A thrilled Lin Li pounced and hugged Bai Xiaofei’s arm as soon as Qin Lingyan left . “Hello Big Sis Xian’er, Big Sis Liuyun, Big Sis Mengqi, Big Sis Lengs…”
Lin Li greeted everyone warmly one by one . Facing this earnest and harmless girl, the other girls really couldn’t harbor any dissatisfaction, even though she did something they didn’t dare to do .

“Long time no see, Lin Li . You have become more beautiful again . I bet someone is very happy,” Hu Xian’er said and inconspicuously glanced at Bai Xiaofei . Because of this, she didn’t notice that Lin Li’s expression grew even happier with her words .
“No matter how beautiful I am, I can’t compare with Big Sis Xian’er, otherwise he would spend at least a day visiting me,” complained Lin Li as she flashed Bai Xiaofei an aggrieved glance that was enough to melt any man’s heart .
“You can’t wrong me, I was too busy to find the time!” Bai Xiaofei righteously quibbled, but in return, the group scoffed at him .
You were busy? You dare prove it?!
The girls then ended up chatting with each other in high spirits, and Bai Xiaofei became redundant and was cast out .
However, he was glad . It had been really uncomfortable to be surrounded by them . Every word he said, he would fear if he’d say the wrong thing…
After Bai Xiaofei left the group, a bunch of seniors immediately brought their glasses and gathered around the girls . The huge group then greeted each other enthusiastically and started chatting about everything .
The essence of a coming-of-age ceremony was, in fact, a social means to bring together people of equal social backgrounds to get to know each other and expand their social circles . Eating, drinking, and flattering each other made up the whole content of this activity .
And Bai Xiaofei was like a duck taking to water in this environment! Not to mention that Bai Xiaofei was now a star-studded existence, his silver tongue that could turn back to white was already enough for him to blend in . After convincing everyone of his charm, Bai Xiaofei pulled out .

Looking at Hu Xian’er’s group who were still chatting together, he summoned the courage to approach Xue Ying . Ever since the start of the party, she had been holed up in a corner and drank wine by herself . With her identity as a teacher, no one dared to strike up a conversation with her .
Moreover, in the view of most people present, Xue Ying had no value to be approached . Aside from being a teacher of Starnet, she was but an ordinary person, while all of the other people present had a certain background within a kingdom or organization . People without some kind of background wouldn’t be invited by Qin Lingyan .
It wasn’t that she looked down on those without power, but that her social circle only included these people . A person’s background determined their field of vision .
“Drinking alone? Isn’t this inconsistent with today’s theme?” Bai Xiaofei said as he filled himself a glass and accompanied Xue Ying .
“I came here because of you . If it wasn’t for the rumors about an unclear relationship between us, do you think I would be invited? Tonight is definitely not as simple as you think . I’m afraid that girl Qin Lingyan is going to do something,” Xue Ying spoke without holding back, gesturing for Bai Xiaofei to look at Hu Xian’er’s group . “All the girls who have contact with you were invited . Don’t tell me you don’t have any guesses . ”
Bai Xiaofei sighed .
How could he not see it? He just didn’t want to admit it… However, he could not escape from some things .
“What can I do? I’ll just react accordingly . ” Bai Xiaofei drained his glass in one go . He supposed that today he’d pay the price for messing around with too many girls .

“Then let’s talk about something happy . ” Smiling, Xue Ying skipped the topic . “How are you preparing for the grand celebration? Have you taken my words into consideration?”
At this question, Bai Xiaofei frowned .
“Didn’t you say ‘something happy?’ What about this is worth being happy…”
In the face of his complaining, Xue Ying snuck a smile .
“I thought you’d like to discuss this kind of thing . After all, you’re always eager to add fun to the show,” teasing him a little, Xue Ying then grew serious . “Let me ask you again, how sure are you about your own safety?”
Bai Xiaofei also became solemn .
“Big Sis Xue, why are you so concerned about this particular matter? Do you know something that I don’t?” Although he hated to ask this, he had to . Xue Ying was a mysterious existence . Considering that she was a teacher, everything about her was really out of place .
“Why? You doubt me?”
