Chapter 106 New Year Conflict
Returning to when the new year banquet of Black Tiger Family just started.
Bright candlelights. Inside the candle holders made of gold and silver and inlaid with many precious stones, huge silver candles as thick as an arm shone with dazzling lights, illuminating the huge banquet hall like daytime. Core members of Black Tiger Family in their beautiful clothing gathered to have fun and to enjoy various kinds of delicacies, heating up the atmosphere.
The main banquet hall was where the formal new year celebration banquet took place while inside the several halls nearby were the livelier and more relaxing feasts and parties. The lower ranking members of Black Tiger Family, those new forces were gathered here, enjoying the rare merriness.
Lin Qi, with a wine jug in hand and accompanied by Enzo, went through every hall. As the only heir of Black Tiger Family, when he Lin Qi was young, Blackbeard had selected a group of youngsters to grow up together with him and to experience things together from young. Lin Qi and these youngsters had created deep friendship bonds – the reason why Lin Qi could act recklessly in the silkpants circle was because these youngsters were there to act as his accomplices.
During the three years Lin Qi was studying in the imperial capital, these youths were sent by Blackbeard to the various northern coastline strongholds of Black Tiger Family, undergoing tempering under close quarters combats. Only when the new year arrived, Blackbeard ordered for these youngsters to be transferred back.
There were more than three hundred people in this group. They had their own parents, their own spouses, their own friends and relatives. They were scattered in the various halls, having fun and enjoying a happy family reunion.
Lin Qi carried the wine jug precisely to toast them. After three years apart, these youngsters who grew up together with him were already like the black pines in black pine forest, becoming tall and sturdy, having completed the transformation from children to youngsters amidst rain of blood. Several particularly outstanding ones among them even carried a layer of gloomy death aura, like that on Tie Chui and Tu Dao.
After being three years apart, these youngsters were also overjoyed to see Lin Qi. They enthusiastically poured Lin Qi one cup of wine after another. Then Lin Qi let them continue in accompanying their own parents and relatives while he himself brought Enzo to stagger to the various halls at will.
Lin Qi, who just drank with a good brother who helped him carry out mischievous plots during childhood, happily scuttled into a hall that was holding a dance party.
Several hundred youngsters of Black Tiger Family were dancing the merry ‘Storm Dance’ here.
It was a dance spread around by those weird goblins; every time a storm struck, those goblins would sing and dance in the wind. This kind of dance was extremely hearty and cheerful, its movements bold and boorish, full of primitive vitality. Those members of the nobility disdained this kind of dance, yet it was very popular among the commoners of West Continent.
Several hundred young men and women in gorgeous clothings formed a tornado-like circle as they happily whistled in loud voices. The young women gracefully spinned, making their long skirts reflect the lights like blooming flowers. The young men crazily slapped their own hard boots, palms and boots rapidly collided, creating thunder-like popping sound.
Like the sound of thunder during a storm, like lightning during a hurricane, like storm spirits in the legends, several hundred sweating young men and women danced to their hearts’ content, repeating the circle formation in rapid movements. Long hair fluttered, sparkling beads of sweat flew in the air, the dozens musicians at one corner of the hall blew their flutes to produce sound as reverberating as the gale and beat their drums to produce rhythm as resonant as the sound of thunder.
Lin Qi laughed heartily. He abandoned his wine jug to infiltrate the formation and recklessly move his butt.
Enzo also laughed loudly. The wanton youth vitality, the unrestrained air of freedom, it was the young generation of Black Tiger Family. Enzo felt the muscles in this whole body were shaking. He also wanted to join this feverish dance. Enzo was an orphan since young; when did he ever see this kind of glee, this kind of feverish group dance?
When Enzo was unable to help but want to pull a girl next to him to join the dance, Lin Qi suddenly forced himself out of the rapidly dancing group in staggering steps. He happily laughed, spinning rapidly made him, who had drunk too much, a little dizzy. He grabbed Enzo, pointed at someone in the hall and said while smiling, “That is Maria, my former personal servant. The one standing next to her is her husband, my good brother, Leo!”
Enzo stared; Mary wasn’t very tall while her figure was graceful and her appearance delicate and pretty. She had a pair of beautiful green eyes and light golden long hair draped over her shoulders, clearly a woman of tender and kind hearted temperament.
Yet Leo who was standing next to her, was nearly two heads taller than Mary. He was a young man as robust as a tall mountain with handsome appearance. His thick arms were folded in front of his chest while his mouth was chewing something. He turned his head from time to time to chat and laugh with Mary; both were so relaxed, so happy, as if a halo called ‘happiness’ was surrounding them.
“Haha, Mary! Leo, when did you guys return?”
Receiving Mary’s care since young, while Leo was Lin Qi’s personal bodyguard for as long as he could remember; it was only expected that the two became husband and wife. It wasn’t surprising that when Arthur took action on Mary, he aroused that kind of brutal response from Lin Qi.
Lin Qi walked over to the corner of the hall where Mary and her husband was at while humming the merry goblin song ‘Storm Ballad’. While walking, he said with a smile, “Leo is a genius cultivator, three years ago when I left Dunerk for the imperial capital, he was already a middle-staged Earth Knight! Aha, I really have no idea how strong he is now.”
Grinning strangely, Lin Qi snorted and said, “Those days, Jin, Angel, Anleen’s bodyguards, thankfully he kicked their asses, otherwise how could I take so many lovely golden crowings from their pockets?”
Enzo’s face turned black, so Leo was Lin Qi’s helper in looting?
When Lin Qi almost reached Mary and her husband, several figures suddenly appeared from the crowd.
Wearing a golden magnificent robe with his left hand holding a string of beads made of Eastern sandalwood, Arthur narrowed his only eye and blocked Lin Qi.
“Lin Qi, I heard you did some extraordinary things these days. You killed a barbarian berserker? Truly amazing!”
Arthur’s voice was full of ridicule and doubt. He tilted his head to looked at Lin Qi and softly said with a smile, “You’re not bluffing right?”
Lin Qi looked at Arthur who was blocking him, then without a word, directly kicked his lower part.
