Chapter 169: One hundred and sixty-eight, banquet
As night gradually fell, the disciples of the Divine Doctor Family, dressed in their festive attire, were already at the banquet site early, waiting for today’s protagonist to arrive.
"I heard that Luo Shu is a country bumpkin, unsophisticated and ugly, with no manners."
"It can’t be that bad, can it?"
"Don’t listen to her nonsense; Luo Shu isn’t at all like she says."
"That’s right. I saw Big Uncle take her to the Disciple Court yesterday; she’s actually quite pretty."
"Don’t you know what life is like outside? Those people can barely get three meals a day, let alone dress well. How exceptional can Luo Shu be?"
"No matter how unexceptional, she comes from good stock; she’s from the Direct Lineage, which is not something we of the lesser branches can compare with," the crowd discussed, with disdain in some voices, jealousy in others, and envy as well.
Just then, the venue suddenly quieted down as people turned their heads towards the entrance. They saw the patriarch Luo Xiuran leading a line of important members of the Divine Doctor Family in their direction.
