While Mo Hua secretly looked at Shangguan Ce, Shangguan Ce didn't look at Mo Hua at all.

This is a family dinner for the Gu family. There are many children, including many children.

Shangguan Ce is in a high position and has great authority, so he won't ask questions one by one.

He was whispering something to the head of the Gu family beside him.

The head of the Gu family, named Gu Shouyan, looks older, has thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, and looks very strong and stubborn.

He once served as the head of the Qianxue Prefecture's Daoting Division, and he had great power and great influence.

Shangguan Ce and Gu Shouyan, the two family heads, looked serious and didn't know what they were talking about.

Because of the sound insulation, Mo Hua couldn't hear it.

Not only the high platform where the two heads of the family sit, but also the banquet where he is currently, is surrounded by at least a third-level soundproof array.

These soundproof arrays separated the direct descendants, elders and distinguished guests of the Gu family from the ordinary children outside.

Mo Hua couldn't hear the noise outside.

The disciples outside could not hear what these elders were talking about.

You can have fun with your fellow tribesmen without interfering with each other.

Mo Hua looked at the others again and found that besides the Gu family monks, there were many unfamiliar faces.

These monks all have arrogant faces, are pampered, and have extraordinary cultivation.

These should be the "distinguished guests" of the Gu family, and most of them are probably elders of the Shangguan family.

They rank and seat according to their status and level of cultivation.

Mo Hua looked at the seats from top to bottom again, muttering in his heart.

The larger the family, the more attention it pays to. It may seem like an ordinary family banquet, but there is a lot of attention paid to the seating arrangement, and it must not be careless at all.

If the ancestor doesn't come forward, the two family heads will naturally be at the top.

Below are the powerful elders with advanced cultivation.

Then there are the direct core disciples, or in other words, candidates for the next head of the family.

Later, we will arrange them in order according to their bloodline, identity, cultivation, etc., and probably also consider the relationship between the guests.

Try to arrange for people with whom you have a good relationship to sit together so that the guests and hosts can enjoy themselves.

Those who have a feud should sit apart to avoid causing trouble.

Mo Hua saw Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi sat upstream, close to the head of the family, because he was a direct descendant of the Shangguan family and a candidate for the next head of the family.

On the Gu family side, Elder Gu Hong, who often gave Mo Hua snacks, was also present.

She is a direct line elder, with high status, seniority, and very good cultivation.

Mo Hua glanced down again and saw Gu Changhuai.

Uncle Gu is in the middle and upper reaches.

Although he is a direct descendant, his parents died young and he has no support in the clan. Although he has good talents, his personality is too withdrawn, so he only gets a middle-to-upper rank.

However, this is not bad.

There are many who are not as good as him.

For example, draw yourself in ink.

Mo Hua looked down and found that his seat was in the middle and lower position.

This is normal.

After all, I am here to eat.

He was born as a casual cultivator, had no power, and his spiritual roots were not good. He had no relationship with the Gu family at all, and he couldn't even fight with anyone.

For this kind of family banquet, it would be nice to have a seat at the table. How can you be picky and picky?

but……

Mo Hua turned his head, glanced at Yu'er and Aunt Wan beside him, and frowned slightly.

The reason why I can attend the family banquet is that I have a good relationship with the Gu family, but the most important thing is probably because I am favored by Aunt Wan and Yu'er.

But why in such a grand family banquet, Aunt Wan and Yu'er's seats are only in the lower middle class?

There's something wrong with this.

Aunt Wan is a direct descendant of the Wenren family, and is the wife of Uncle Shangguanyi Mingwen.

And Yu'er is the direct grandson of the head of the Shangguan family.

In this kind of family banquet, it is very strange that the seats are so far back...

Mo Hua turned around and looked again.

Yu'er was young and had no idea about the dignity of this kind of family and the seating arrangements for the family banquet. She just held the chopsticks in her little hands and waited excitedly for the banquet to begin.

Aunt Wan should be aware of this, but all she sees is her own child.

As long as Yu'er can be safe and happy by her side, she doesn't care about the status of these aristocratic families or where they sit.

Mo Hua frowned and thought deeply, but suddenly his consciousness moved and he noticed a few glances.

"Is someone looking at me?"

Looking back at the ink painting without revealing any trace, I realized that it was not.

These eyes were all directed at Aunt Wan and Yu'er beside him.

One of the eyes was Shangguan Yi.

Although Shangguan Yi was sitting in the upper seat, he was obviously a little absent-minded. He looked down from time to time, looking at his beloved wife and son, his eyes longing and a little melancholy.

A grown man looks somewhat pitiful...

Mo Hua shook his head.

Next is Uncle Gu.

He looked at Aunt Wan and Yu'er, mostly worried.

Of course, he also saw Mo Hua sitting next to Yu'er.

Mo Hua winked at him.

Gu Changhuai curled his lips, snorted slightly, then looked away, picked up the wine glass and drank.

These two looks were well-intentioned.

The rest of the eyes came from the group of elders of the Shangguan family.

Although their eyes were not malicious, they were definitely not kind. They were cold, indifferent, full of scrutiny and criticality, and were accompanied by some whispers.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

There is no such thing as a good feast.

It's really troublesome for a group of people from aristocratic families to fight each other.

But soon, the family dinner started, and Mo Hua forgot all about it.

Courses of delicacies were served on the table.

Birds and beasts, fairy fruits and delicacies.

Fish, shrimp, dolphins, dragons, chickens, geese, and birds.

The color, smell and taste are delicious and mouth-watering.

Although the Gu family is less than fifth grade, it is still a prominent family. The family dinner a year ago, although not too extravagant, was definitely sumptuous enough.

Especially for ink painters who were born as casual practitioners.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

Since you are attending a banquet, just enjoy your meal with peace of mind.

The children of aristocratic families pay attention to etiquette and make false greetings while talking.

Mo Hua and Yu'er were not distracted, eating happily.

While he was just eating, Mo Hua suddenly noticed that there was another gaze looking towards him.

Very harsh and dissatisfied.

When Mo Hua looked around, he saw a female elder sitting in the seat, wearing green clothes and heavy makeup. She looked at Aunt Wan with an unkind look, not knowing what she was planning in her heart.

Mo Hua continued to chew on the chicken legs and silently paid attention to her.

The family banquet is still going on, the food is delicious, and there is a lot of drinking and drinking. On the surface, it is harmonious, but the atmosphere is always a bit alienated.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Mo Hua was drinking fruit wine when he felt a sense of disgust coming from him. Then he heard the female elder ask the person next to him:

"I heard that Miss Wan is also in the Gu family. Forgive me, I wonder who she is?"

Her voice was controlled just right when she said this.

It's not too loud and would appear rude, and it's not deliberately suppressed so that everyone can hear it.
