Lin Qingluo's eyes suddenly dimmed as she glanced at a hidden corner of the corridor in a seemingly casual manner, her smile full of profound meaning.

With the Empress's presence, the farewell banquet officially began.
Famous performers sang on the stage, their tunes and melodies pleasant to the ear.
The delegations from various countries took turns toasting.
Lin Qingluo did not refuse any toast, generously drinking cup after cup, earning her roars of approval.
Since ancient times, beauties have admired heroes, and at the banquet, the heroes' spirit is determined by their capacity for liquor.
Drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk, the divine girl was extremely bold, leaving the group of passionate young men ecstatic.
The banquet became lively as acquaintances began toasting each other, their shouts of challenge to each other's drink capacity filling the air.
The young men of the Lin Clan were extraordinary in their charisma, turning their seats into the storm center for toasts.
The Regent was gentle and refined, admired by Lin Jinyun and the noble ladies, attracting even more attention.
Xuanyuan Qing finally squeezed in front of Lin Jinyun, just as she was about to toast him, a beautiful figure suddenly blocked the bright light in front of her eyes.
“The Regent is a young hero, and Biqiu admires him deeply. I wonder if I could be so honored as to toast the Regent a cup of wine?”
He Biqiu's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she gathered her courage, her hand holding the wine cup trembling slightly.
“Alright.”
Lin Jinyun, the image of grace, picked up the wine cup.
“Please, Regent.”
Seeing Jinyun's quick and emphatic agreement, Biqiu was overwhelmed with admiration.
“Please, Sister Biqiu.”
Lin Jinyun's eyes flickered, deliberately emphasizing the word 'sister'.
He Biqiu failed to grasp the deeper meaning, and in her excitement, she tilted her head back and emptied her wine cup.
The wine's pungent taste combined with her fast and eager drinking irritated her throat, causing her cheeks to turn red and cough non-stop.
“Drink some water to ease it.”
Standing nearby, Xuanyuan Qing happened to offer her a cup of tea.
When the two young girls met each other's gaze, He Biqiu's long, dense eyelashes trembled, and a deep chill traveled from head to toe.
The girl in front of her was too beautiful, her skin as icy and white as jade, transcending mortal beauty.
Her eyebrows needed no painting, her lips needed no embellishment, and her mesmerizing eyes were more enchanting than blooming peach blossoms in March.
Even just a glance was enough to make one uncontrollably lost in her stunning beauty.
With such an extraordinary beauty by his side, how could ordinary women ever catch his eye?
Although she didn't believe herself to be ordinary, but comparing herself to the girl before her was like comparing the bright moon to an insignificant firefly, worlds apart.
“Thank you.”
With a bitter smile playing at the corners of her lips, Biqiu drank all the tea in one go before turning away and leaving in sorrow.
“Sigh.”
Lin Qingluo, with her keen senses, saw Biqiu's heartbroken expression and couldn't help but sigh with pity.

“Swish!”
Lin Qingluo's thoughts were chaotic, still reeling from her close friend's somber mood when suddenly a sharp and oppressive aura approached from behind, carrying a strong intent to kill – a sharp sword reflecting blinding white light flashed at the corner of her eye.
“Jinyu, watch out!”
Sitting directly opposite her, Lin Jinyu leapt up and concentrated his powerful internal energy into his palm, rushing to counter the assailant's attack.
“It's here?”
Lin Qingluo had anticipated this, and the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile. Like she had eyes on the back of her head, she threw two ivory chopsticks at the assassin's sharp sword, deflecting its course.
Lin Jinyu's powerful palm strike followed shortly after, targeting the attacker's chest.
In an instant, as the banquet was filled with alarmed screams, the assassin's movements became erratic. The sword's false move grazed Lin Jinyu's right arm.
