#286 - Chapter 286: Wargames at the Ball
"Wow, is that the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's grandson? He actually came to the ball?!"
"Oh my god, he's so handsome!"
Li Sinuo said to Su Yingxue beside her.
The ball had already started five minutes ago.
As soon as the ball began, Li Sinuo had already entered into a lovesick mode.
At this moment, she was desperately batting her eyelashes at a young and handsome male lord not far away.
But unfortunately, the object she was trying to seduce was the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's grandson, and also the second in line to the royal family.
Because the Wang family's power can be ranked in the top three in the entire empire, so....
His side was already surrounded by female lords with similar purposes to Li Sinuo.
Many of these female lords were more attractive than Li Sinuo, and plus the fact that Li Sinuo herself was indeed dressed like a tomboy.
So naturally, her seduction failed.
However, this doesn't mean that Li Sinuo is not excellent or anything.
You know, Li Sinuo herself also has the background of the Li family in Linjiang City.
So, after Li Sinuo's unsuccessful seduction of the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's grandson, many single, or non-single, male lords approached her, trying to invite her to dance.
Obviously, the backgrounds of these male lords were smaller than that of the Li family that Li Sinuo belonged to.
They longed to gain more resources and higher rights through marriage with Li Sinuo.
But unfortunately, facing these lords, Li Sinuo showed even more arrogance than the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's grandson.
She ruthlessly rejected this group of male lords, then took a glass of wine, preparing to walk to Su Yingxue's side.
Just like what was mentioned before, the War College's ball is not simply a ball.
Because its essence is a social ritual between lords.
But when Li Sinuo came to Su Yingxue's side with a glass of wine, she was surprised to find that the number of males around her best friend was much more than she had at that time.
And what made her even more annoyed was that the quality of these males was much stronger than the group of stinky men surrounding her!
Among this group of male lords, there were sons of alliance elders, and heirs of some powerful guilds.
What's even more infuriating is that the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's grandson also looked towards Su Yingxue intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Li Sinuo noticed that Su Yingxue behaved much more maturely than her, although she also rejected all other lords' invitations.
But she didn't show any of the same arrogance and contempt as she did.
Even when refusing, she said it very euphemistically, taking great care of the other party's face and dignity.
Moreover, Li Sinuo also noticed that these lords who were rejected by Su Yingxue were not only not angry, but also gathered around Su Yingxue, chatting and exchanging useful lord information and the like.
Looking at her, she is very suitable to be in such occasions.
"Sigh...."
"This is really different fates for different people."
After taking a sip of the fine wine in her glass, Li Sinuo said sourly.
Uh, sour in every sense of the word.
"By the way, where is that brat Wu Wei?"
After discovering that her limelight was severely suppressed by Su Yingxue, the extremely clever Li Sinuo decisively thought of Wu Wei's existence.
"Hehe, that guy must be sitting alone in some corner."
That's right, there is no harm without comparison.
When you encounter someone more excellent than yourself and feel the unfairness of fate, the best solution is to find someone who performs even worse than you.
As long as there is a foil, then she won't seem so miserable, right?
Thinking of this, Li Sinuo began to look for Wu Wei's figure.
At the same time, she secretly thought.
"Hehe, I wonder if Wu Wei, this brat, will be jealous after seeing so many stinky men surrounding Su Yingxue."
"This guy is also a weirdo, Su Yingxue is so excellent, doesn't he have any ideas at all?"
While thinking, Li Sinuo searched for Wu Wei.
Logically speaking, although the War College's ball venue is very large, divided into upper and lower floors, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a person.
But something incredible happened to Li Sinuo.
She looked in every corner, even near the trash cans, but she just couldn't find Wu Wei's figure!
"Where did this brat run off to?"
Just when Li Sinuo was puzzled, a series of exclamations rang out from not far away.
"Oh my god, he won again!"
"Incredible!"
"Who is this guy, how can he be so strong?"
Following these exclamations, Li Sinuo finally discovered Wu Wei's figure.
Good heavens, Li Sinuo then realized that she was terribly wrong.
It turned out that the reason why she couldn't find Wu Wei was because Wu Wei's figure was surrounded!
He himself was in the most "lively" area of the entire venue!
However, unlike Li Sinuo, who had been infatuated all along, and Su Yingxue, who kept dealing with invitations, Wu Wei didn't have any social behavior at this ball.
Or rather, his social behavior was a bit different.
His way of socializing was to conduct war game simulations with a group of lords in a room on the second floor that was both a smoking room and a card room!
And when Li Sinuo saw Wu Wei win another game, her eyes immediately widened a lot.
Because she noticed that Wu Wei's opponent just now seemed a bit special.....
