The lights came on.
The violin music also stopped abruptly.
Lian Yan bowed slightly. Dressed in a white suit, he spread his arms and smiled elegantly. "Welcome to my banquet, everyone."
Applause suddenly rang out.
Cheers, laughter, calls from the crowd... the guests certainly gave their host a warm reception.
Music sounded again, this time performed by the hotel's band. Amid the clinking of glasses, the banquet began.
"Hey... hey?"
Flower nudged Qin Manjiang gently and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Qin Manjiang withdrew his gaze and smiled. "Nothing. I was just thinking, he really is handsome."
Of all the men Qin Manjiang had met, only Lian Yan could compare to Mei Sijun. Both were handsome from every angle.
But Mei Sijun took "beauty" to its utmost, while Lian Yan was "dashing."
Flower gave Qin Manjiang an odd look. "All right, hurry up and find them... it might be too late in a bit."
But to Flower's surprise, the host of the banquet, the violinist Lian Yan, actually approached them of his own accord, wineglass in hand!

Flower was from twenty years ago. Although Lian Yan was also a player from Moon City's [Eye Realm], in a sense, he was someone who had "returned from the dead." Qin Manjiang had no way of knowing whether he belonged to the same group as the current [Moon City] players.
Let alone people like Flower.
Flower did not even know who Lian Yan was.
So when Lian Yan approached them, Flower felt nervous, but also found it rather strange. Had this violinist discovered that the two of them were "uninvited guests"?
Yet... Lian Yan stopped right in front of Qin Manjiang.
He personally poured half a glass of wine for Qin Manjiang and handed it to him
